Bright Sunny Monday

Finally, after a rainy weekends, seems like a mini storm has been visiting Singapore. Deafening thunders, bolts of threatening lightings across the sky and eerie wind hallowing away...

Finally, today everyone woke up to a bright sunny morning, a good start for the first day of school. At least the students would not have to get all wet on the first day of school, imagine sitting in the classes for hours with soaking wet shoes!

Wow, a good start to Monday @ work for me too, only bad thing is to see the technician and Accounts Manager coming to me about getting their copier again... Been pestering about how good their copier is!! I just can't get the point of how good a copier is if the end product of it's printout is going to be purple when it shows blue on our computer screen... my patient's running thinner and thinner.

Guess some people's concept of color just isn't quite there, I just don't understand what is the use of getting a printer that doesn't print out colors that are at least close to what we see on screen. No choice, have to just see how things go, anywhere the copier company's leaving a test set in our office for 2 weeks.

Another Monday [Fair Weather]

Family

Saturday, woke up at 8:00 in the morning to get ready for breakfast with hubby and youngest son Bryan before going for my driving lesson at 9:50hr, I got to complete the practical lesson's final evaluation before my driving test on 4th July 2008. Youngest son Bryan just need to smile at you and your heart sort of melt, his two small white "rabbit" tooth are just so cute. His two older brothers are still sleeping away...

Hubby and Bryan decided to wait at the driving centre for me, so patient of them both, really touchy and very relived that I have managed to get past the evaluation lesson eventhough hubby have told me in advance that the instructor would always give a pass no matter what...
After the lesson, we went home and laze around, the 3 boys started their usual practice of running around the house with their toys. They ensure that they must complete the required noise volume for the day before they are asked to turn in to bed for their sleep at night. Rest of the days are pretty spent relaxing and catching some shows on the television.

Sunday, woke up bright and early @ 07:15 to make a trip with hubby to the market. 3 kids are still sleeping like a log, guess they play too much yesterday. We walked around the wet market and got enough vegetables and meat stuff to last us for the coming week. A decision to have our breakfast saw us sitting down for a meal of heavenly piping hot pig intestine / beancurd / pig skin / egg complete with the noodle. Finishing this by 08:15, we went to the nearby clinic to get a queue number for our domestic maid, her check up is due.

Got a number 4 for the queue, got to rush back home to keep all the marketing products before bringing her to the clinic for the check up. What a coincidence, my mum and dad happens to be sitting in the clinic when I reach there. Turns out there's a long queue and mum got number 12... I decided to bring mum in with us at queue number 4 and trying not to act obvious about it in front of other patients. Luckily the doctor is our usual family doctor and the counter nurses are very friendly with me.

Finishing the check up and bidding farewell to dad and mum, Sukamti and I walked home to waiting hubby and 3 kids at home. Turns out they are relaxing and talking about silly stuff that kids normally rumble about, complete with all the "Whys". It's almost 12:00 noon, the kids start with their bath and lunch of pastas. At about 2:30 afternoon, hubby and I suddenly had cravings for Xiao Long Pao, we drove to Crystal Jade at Jurong Point to satisfy our cravings. We ordered fried crispy eel, xiao long pao and another type of dumplings complete with a bowl of fried ribs noodles for hubby. YUMMY!! The trip ended wonderfully with a shop around at the toys r rus before our trip home.

Conclusion, a wonderful relaxing weekends! Luckily I did not give in to temptations of visiting the PC show, the thought of crushing with other people at the show is really disheartening.

12th June 2008, Fair Weather after a Stormy Day yesterday

Fairly good morning, traffic on the road was good, perhaps it's the school holiday and a huge number of parents are taking leave from work to keep their kids company.

A quiet morning in the office, everyone's staring away at the computer screen typing away. A good start to the morning, received an email from an ex-colleague, I finally found time to pick up the phone and dialed her number yesterday evening.

Overtime, I found myself increasing the distance from my friends. Laziness is everywhere, I no longer write snail mail to my friends / no christmas or new year cards / no picking up the phone to keep in touch / etc. It's just work and the family that I am keeping myself occupy with. Perhaps with 3 little boys that are forever running around the house and competing to create noise, that I am sort of energy drained to do other things.

Things in the office are still working as per normal except for the occassional things that some people came up with that you would either find amusing or hair grabbing. Guess there's going to be some "clowns" whom can always be found in any company to "spice" up people's life! Luckily I have enough experiences to try to cope with such people.

Hope everything's going to be wonderful especially since the weekends are approaching.
