It's already ONE WEEK!!!!

Yeah. One week since I came back from Melbourne. Where does all the time fly too? Maybe there is a BLACK HOLE out there somewhere that just sucks out all the time in the world....leaving disorganized suckers like me scrambling to try to finish off all the tasks at hand.

Really donno what I have been doing for the last one week man! Time really just whooooooooosh by! Let me try to recall what I did....(this is just for my record)

Wednesday - arrived in the morning, dropped H off at the office (Yup! He went straight to work! ...I couldn't never do this!), arrived home and had to unpack all our loot. I thought we didn't buy much (since exchange rate NOT favourable to us, almost parity with USD!) but when I put all the stuff on the table, it did give me a little bit of a surprise! Will post pictures later. Then took Dad out to Duck King for lunch....he said it was the best meal he's had since he arrived. He only ate out twice (at the food court!! because boys wanted different foods)...whilst we were gone. Can't remember what I did in the afternoon...

Thursday - I hopped onto the early morning school bus... as I had a Year 6 Parents Rep meeting. Yeah....so kepoh... volunteered for S2's class. What to do? His class sooo "chamm"....no parent wants to volunteer. Anyway, rushed home to take dad out grocery shopping, and then lunch at Penang Bistro, dropped him off at a massage place and then RUSH to school for my reading duty (for S2's class again). After that, waited in the school cafe for the boys to finish with the after-school activity, and then RUSH to Mandarin tuition. Went to the gym for an hour, and by the time I got home, I almost pengsan.

Friday - Dropped H off at work, then took dad to Chinatown in Glodok. Took him through the back lanes and streets...warned him NOT to buy any raw foods. He wanted to buy the shellfish...but aiyer, sitting under the sun for sooooo long. Sure will LAU SAI. Speaking of LAU SAI. S2 is home from school today. Vomitted and also LAU SAI. Donno if it's because of the edamame that he had yesterday....it's been sitting in the freezer for a long time already, and maybe some power outages might have made it gone off. Poor guy. Already soooo sau-mang-kai.
Anyway, we did eat in a little coffee shop in one of the back lanes. Nothing wrong lah... No LAU SAI or anything. From here, took him to Cafe Batavia for a cup of coffee... It's a building from the 19th century. Nice ambience... caters mainly to tourist, I would think. Dad then had a lunch of Hainanese Chicken Rice in some singaporean restaurant... I was still stuffed from brekkie so just watched him eat. Then it was off to D'Best Supermarket to buy my nasi lemak ingredients. Dad had wanted to learn how to make nasi lemak from scratch. My afternoon was basically cooking the nasi lemak, the sambal and the fried kunyit chicken. Had early dinner....as my day has not yet ended.
After dinner, I had to rush to JIS to pick S1. He had participated in an athletic meet.... supposed to end at 7.30 pm...but it ended at 9.00 pm. Not bad for his first athletic meet. My S1 ended 3rd in 200 m and 3rd in the Medley. There's another athletic meet at his school this Saturday.

Saturday - S2 had a birthday party. After we dropped him off, we went to Paulaner Brahaus for a porky brunch... and halfway through, my S1 was feeling ill (probably too much exertion from the night before???) so didn't do anything after lunch. Dad went for a massage and we basically had a simple dinner that night. After dinner, still had to trott off through the traffic to pick S2 from his friend's house.

Sunday - We took dad to Table 8 @ Mulia Hotel for their Dim Sum Brunch. Stayed there from 10 am for 2 hours (not because we wanted to, but because the porky stuff were only available at 11 am). Said our goodbyes to dad - as he was leaving for the airport immediately after lunch. We took a cab to the mall - H wanted a haircut, and to get a sports bag and shoes for S1. After seeing S1's performance, H felt that S1 needed proper gear. He said the bags that I have for my boys are too POOFY! Bleahhhh! Dinner again was pretty light.

Monday - The usual...Painting at my friend's house, and then to school to pick the boys up for their Mandarin tuition, and an hour at the gym.

Tuesday - Didn't go scrapbooking as my friend said there won't be power. So went to run some errands at the Singapore HC with H, came home - did my insurance claims, cleared some paperwork etc etc.

Wednesday - Supposed to go to the Thai Embassy with H...but then with S2 ill, decided to stay home instead. So here I am typing away on my keyboard when I am supposed to be clearing MORE paperwork from my work desk. Will I do it? Or do more nonsense on the computer???
