Woah... See lah... Neglected the blog again...
To think that I wanted to be more diligent. HAHA. Perhaps I had crucial things to settle huh... Quite a lot of things have happened over the past few weeks since my last post. Not to worry, all are good. Just that because we all have only 24hrs a day, I had to cramp in a lot more to do over the past weeks cos staff was on leave, had more meetings, went to Melaka etc.
Talking about Melaka, let's share more about that then. (All the rest are pretty same old same old!)
So I went to Melaka on the week of my birthday, that's 21st Aug and I'm so glad we decided to do that. When I went home, seeing how Popo aged, just makes me wish I could do much more. We had the pleasure of having Joy join us on this trip. Else, usually it'll be the aunts, either Tua Yi or Ji Yi. Joy popped by that same night, and we left in the late morning on Thur. The journey up was awesome. We had really good food. On Thur itself, as usual, we would have to clean the room like crazy. Mattress was on the floor, sheets were still on, the floor was a mess, toilet was dirty, hair everywhere... and my list can go on and on to be honest. But oh well, I just told myself that it's part and parcel of coming home. And because we had popped tiles upstairs, Ah Kong had to arrange for contractors to come and do the renovation works. And that would mean that the whole place was super dusty. I feel that we really need to invest in a vacuum cleaner! Seriously... Else, I think I'll just go crazy with all the sweeping and mopping of the house. Mopping isn't the main problem. It's the sweeping that drives me crazy. How to sweep dust?! You can't!! It'll just be spread out even more, making the entire place even more dusty than it was, and probably irritating my nose!! Well, my role in the cleaning is usually the toilet... I can't stand it when the toilet is so dirty... FILTHY is the word. Cos we don't use it often, and there's really a huge challenge getting rid of lizards. I think the only way is to rear a cat! Hahaha. So yeah, I will be the one who'll clean the toilet while Heidi takes care of the rest of the room. We don't go into our uncle's rooms cos they're supposed to be taking care of it themselves. And for the fact that there's this washing machine problem (there's no tap for the semi-auto washing machine!), it's really hard to do laundry now. Imagine having to send the sheets and blankets for laundry service. I feel that it's just money wasted because there's a washing machine anyway. It's just that we can't use it cos there's no water supply. If we were to shift it to the Garage area, we would have to really do lots of spring cleaning man! And I mean really get rid of all the old stuff. There're things there that really should have been thrown a long time ago.
So after all the cleaning, we were as hungry as hell. And Mama cooked lunch for us, or should that be known as an early dinner... hmm... regardless, we were super hungry. We had good home-cooked food, and then we rest for the night. Lazed around, chit chat etc. 2nd day of the trip was for an AWESOME Bak Kut Teh breakfast at Tangkak. It was a pretty long drive but the food was really awesome man! Super delicious. The last time we went there, it was closed. But this time, we managed to go there by early afternoon. And the side dish of braised chicken feet! OMG... It was really awesome too!
We did a bit of shopping along the way till about evening time, then we headed home to rendezvous and then move off to Ong Kim Wee area for Satay Celup! Again, OMG... I missed it so much. The food was too good. And before you know it, our trip was coming to an end. We reached home and started packing up. The next morning, we had kampong eggs, and nasi lemak for breakfast. When it comes to bidding goodbye, it's always the hardest. I gave some money to both hugged them and we went on our way. Waving bye is always tough. So that's the end of the short trip. And as soon as I got back, had to prepare for the next day's FD meeting at home.
My beloved Grandparents and us
Then the routine in Singapore starts all over again.
Hahaha... ^_^
Life of a Singaporean, challenging, a little monotonous sometimes but that's ok. Everyday can't be challenging you know, tiring leh. Hehe. I'm coping pretty well with all my responsibilities for now. So that's alright. I've set myself goals to meet and I'm pretty determined to do what I've set out to do. So let this blog be my witness to all the happenings in time to come.
TODAY, 29 Aug 2014, MARKS THE DAY FOR CHANGES!! Let's see what happens. I may or may not share periodic updates about THAT, but we shall see how it goes. I feel that it's good to keep track on what's been happening. Oh well, I will have an awesome Friday. I thought that I was gonna wake up with a sore body or something, but I'm quite surprised I didn't. Yesterday was our first trainer's training and I tell you... It was really awesome! Super upbeat and that was just a chorus of 1 song! There's more to come and I'm sure it's gonna be super fun. Can't wait for more trainings. Performance is in Dec. Ahhhh... Exciting... there're a total of 5 of us taking part in YCF. Heidi, Kevin, Joey, Peony and I. And I just heard that Mag jie is encouraging her 2 boys to join in too! Awesome... Will have more YCF updates along the way too.
For now, cheers!
