Since some of you wanted to know why I had to go through my main door 8 times a day, I thought I might as well do a post about my schedule when its ‘school-day’ for my boys.

7.15am: Wake BinBin up
8am: Bring Binbin to school (1st Time pass through my door)
8.10am: Return Home (2nd Time)
10am: Wake Keatkeat up
12pm: Fetch Binbin from School (3rd Time)

Right after which, we have to bring Keatkeat to school immediately. If Binbin’s teacher decides to dilly dally on a particular day, then we would be ‘running‘ to Keatkeat’s school.

Thereafter, Have lunch with Binbin and if there are errands to run, we would usually reach home at about 3-4pm

4pm: Return home with Binbin (4th Time)
5.45pm: Leave house to fetch Keatkeat (5th Time)
6.25pm: Return home with boys (6th Time)
Boys get to play for awhile before Keatkeat gets down to his homework and spelling and ‘tingxie’ (Chinese Spelling).
8pm: Out for Dinner (7th Time) Anytime earlier than that, my boys will have ‘problem‘ eating their dinner. Either they cannot finish or they would be eating at a damn slow speed. To prevent ‘nagging‘ from parents and ‘stressing‘ the boys up. Our dinner is usually at 8pm.

9+pm: Return home. (8th Time)
Complete unfinished homework. As to what time they sleep would depend on what time Keatkeat finishes his work.

Because I believe that the thing just before they migrate to their dreamland should be something they enjoy and considered fun in their vocabulary. So we do let them play (with/without us) for a while, even if its already 11pm, before we wish them “Good Night”.
