The stress of the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) is officially over (for now) for local actress Yvonne Lim and her family.
The 50-year-old shared in an Instagram post on Sunday (Oct 11) that she threw a "We Survived PSLE" party to mark the major milestone, treating her son and his friends to a homemade feast.
Recognising the hard work that both the children and parents put in over the years, she wrote: "It's a milestone for them but more than anything, I hope they will look back and remember the friendships, laughter and good memories that came with this chapter.
