Weekend Reflections – Being Lucky

WeekendReflections

The IPamper from OSIM

This year I too had a very memorable Children’s Day celebration. Our school shifted the annual teacher’s day dinner to Children’s Day eve so that our Muslim colleagues would be able to celebrate together with us as it would be after their Ramadan.

This year my name was one of those picked during the lucky draw. I was surprised to have won the 3rd prize of an OSIM IPamper (R.P.$198SGD)

This gift sure comes in handy for me as the past week I have been suffering from strain and stiff muscles due to insufficient rest as Roy is down with stomach flu. It has been extremely exhausting taking care of this grouchy toddler.

I never expected the win as the odds of being picked for the 20 Lucky Draw Prizes is already not that big with a staff size of about 90-100 teachers (10% chance of being picked for one of the prizes) Calculating the possibilities the odds are really small to be able to get one of the top 3 prizes.

I’m really happy with the win and grateful that things seem to be getting better for our family this year.
