Lovely Sunny Week after a week of RAINS...

Sunny!!!!!

Finally, it's sunny, the sun is out after a week of rains and storms... I was thinking it would never end, the wet wet feeling of walking in the rain, your shoes getting wet and perhaps earthworms getting stuck to your legs. The house full of damp clothes that just can't seem to be dry. My clothes are finally getting crisp dry under the sun.



Family

It's life as usual for the kids and my work. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching [14th September 2008], lovely occassion for people to find excuse of stuffing themselves silly with mooncakes. There are all kinds of mooncakes, jelly mooncakes / snow skin mooncakes / baked skin mooncakes / etc. The list goes on, there's all sorts of fillings too, fruits / bird nests / ginseng / lotus paste / salted egg yolk / durian / ice cream / cheese / chocolate / mango / yam / yogurt / curry / sambal prawn and lots more. I have been buying for my parents, in-laws, my workplace, etc. It's a period of spending money again. But trust me, after a while, you just get sick of the mooncakes, they are forever too sweet from overdose with sugar.

I have been catching up with friends recently, this is rare since I have been keeping to my family life and work life. It just seems that after 3 kids, time for friends just seems hard to find. Imagine that for 5 days a week from Monday to Friday after waking up at 7:00am in the morning, getting ready for work and leaving the house to return only at 6:30pm in the evening. You find 3 kids screaming "Mum" at the door once you step in, there are hardly time for friends and anytime else. Saturday and Sunday are times for the marketing and the kids since you often feel the guilt slipping in after neglecting them for 5 days a week when you are at work.

Anyway, back to my friends Christine, Daphne and Agatha : )
Christine is a long lost buddy whom I haven't been able to meet with for 2 years eversince she followed her husband to France for his work. But now they are back and we managed to meet a few weeks ago just with her screaming my name when she saw me and I as usual just walk blindly around... thank god for the arrangement of us banging into each other with luck! I truly miss this buddy, she's my pal eversince our school days. What follows are a string of sms and lovely dinner that have us catching up.
Daphne is another pal from my ex employer of the past. She's given birth to her 3rd child!!! Finally, I'm not the only one in my friends group with 3 kids :p Haha! I carried her baby girl whom just turn 1 month of age at her celebratory party, a very lovely child.
Agatha, my lovely gal pal, also just gave birth to her 3rd baby!! Haha!!!!! A very lovely baby boy, I just visited them at the hospital too. Now, I have 2 buddy to form a gang of the motherhood with 3 kids. Trust me, having 3 kids is a big deal in this age of time. Everyone is trying to struggle with only 1 kid and are always shock when I told them I have 3.

Okay, that's the current updates for now, I will try my best to be back with more updates from time to time.

Cheers!!!!!!
