Yan's convo.

My sis in law just had her convo yesterday at Temasek Poly. I posted her pictures for her to view. Congratulations, I say.

Pass.

Just got to know that I pass my waiver exam results! This means that I passed a module! Yeah!

Kampung.

Today is Sunday, Its way past 10.00pm and the Olympics in China has just ended. I do believe that this was the most exciting Olympics I have ever experience. The fact that China is almost at the same timezone as me does help. I kicked myself silly for not being able to witness Usain Bolt from Jamaica running in the 100m final.
Going to Su's kampung this Saturday and Sunday. Am feeling excited about the trip. Will be going after Adam's Whiz club which is at 2. Should reach the place, at Pedas/Linggi latest by 5. Hope I won't get lost.
I hope everyone feeling fine. As for me, my leg has not been hurting anymore. I've a $30 adidas voucher which I'm going to spend buying a new pair of running shoes. The one I bought at Langkawi lasted me about 8 months.
So again, have a good week ahead.

Monday

Its an hour into a new Monday. Wifey is having off in lieu for National Day today, so we are staying over at my parents place. Adam is all excited, he refuses to fall asleep until his cousin does, but then, girls being girls, she managed to stay awake longer than him! Oh well, he has kept a regular sleeping pattern since birth: wakes up at 6, sleeps before 9. 

Just received an SMS from an ex colleague who has also left the teaching service. And today will be his first work day. So, Isham, I wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life.

Meeting an Insurance guy who is keen to recruit me. He sells OUB manulife policies. I'm still inclined to go with NTUC as I think theirs are more truthful. But then said, I think if one needs to grow their money, insurance is not the way, security of their money yes, but not to grow. To a certain extent, insurance does help to grow your money but usually at a cost of you have to lock up the funds until the breakeven year, and that could be as far as 10-15 years. Now to me, money is money, it has to remain liquid. If you are buying for security, yes go for insurances. But then, moderation is the key.

Blue

Had a wonderful day today. The sky was so sunny and I had my camera with me. So I put 1 and 1 together and I took some pictures. They are in my album Blue. Although you might say I'm freeer now, but I just went along my usual route and routine to capture the scenes, nothing so dramatic as to drive all the way somewhere out there. Oh, I happened to be in Changi as I wanted to er, have lunch as my mom was still in dialysis and nobody was home.

For your info, her cancer is only at the nose and it has not spread to the bones. She will start radiotherapy next week. Pray for me and with me please.

The cookies are done!

The cookies, the cupcakes and the cleaning up is done, for the day!

Adam birthday celebration.

Adam's birthday celebration it tomorrow. So I guess you can say I'll be kept busy the as of when I woke up today. That should explain as to why I simply refused to get out of bed!

Oh, my mom has been diagnosed with cancer.

8.45

It was 8.45 am. I just came back from doing a bit of marketing in Giant and my boy still has not woken up. So I did the next best thing. I took out my camera! Not bad...

Karipap

If not for anything else, the karipap sold near my son's school makes the trip there worthwhile.
This is the bestest Karipap I have ever eaten. Mainly it is because it is made and sold at the source. Its light and crispy. Its filling is generous enough and it's still warm when I brought it home half an hour later.
Got this at this kopitiam in Tampines St 11. I think it is at Blk 137. The name of the coffee shop is Sarah Rose.
A bit pricey though, at $1.50 each. Go for the Sambal Sardine.

Have a good day.

Oh my god! Today is such a tiring day for me.
In the morning, brought Adam to Pasir Ris fish farm. Bought two fishes only to have them attacked by the very territorial pair of "the citizens". In the end, have to set up another tank for the newcomers.
After that, send Adam to school followed by a trip to STU coop. There I managed to settle my accounts and convert my ordinary membership to associate membership. Transfer some of the $ into a term deposit (FD).
Went to Tampines to have lunch only to be reminded that today is dialysis day so, nenek not cooking. Ate whatever leftover there was and had a 30 minute nap. Woke up to find nenek had already cooked ikan masak kichap. But it was too late as I had to pick up Adam.
Picked up Adam and bought some karipap. Nice. Had them for dinner while Adam had rice, fish cooked in oyster sauce and fried long beans.
Immediately after that, sent him for piano class. Went to Cash converter and found nothing that I would part my cash with.
Picked him up half an hour later and we rented ben 10 season 1 and 2, and two other dvds. Now I'm infront of the computer and i just heard Wawa came in. Her mom is going for Yoga. I really do not think I'm going to have any rest tonight. So basically, that how my first day of retirement is.

So here is wishing you to have a better day.

A gift.

Friend's from CVPS gave me this as a farewell gift.
