Contemplations.......

Drove Uyop to work this morning and was expecting Yuli, the part-time maid, around 10am. She came slightly late – I was having my breakfast when the doorbell rang.

Took a while to get the girls up and running. I have no problem with Dyna. Ili Nadia and Nylie reminds me of my sisters. When one wants to use the bathroom, the other would want to do the same, or the total opposite – they will push the “you should go first” button and then the contemplation cycle begins…

Imagine this. It was close to noon when we left our home. Today, as I would describe it before we leave our home, would be, scorching hot day. After we left, half-way through the carpark, it starts to drizzle. Ran to the car at the very first drop of the rain, seems like it was going to get heavier. Quarter of our way to my parents’ home at Ang Mo Kio, on the expressway, I could hardly see anything from my car windshield. Torrential rain! Amazingly just a few metres away, as I was driving onto the slip road; the rain stop.

My aunt was leaving for Malacca in the evening. With a bag so loaded with stuff, I doubt that she could carry it all by herself. Wonder how she was going to cope with the custom at the checkpoint at this time of the season.

I have not done my weekly marketing when I should already have. Decided to just go to Sheng Shiong supermarket. It is not a place that has everything I would possibly desire but that did it.

Yuli called to tell me she was leaving earlier. Quality of her work today, was a bit of a disappointment.! I was planning on cleaning Ili and Nylie’s wardrobe but since Yuli was leaving much earlier than I thought – abandoned that idea.

Got Ili to rinse Uyop’s shirts without much hassle – what a darling.

Contemplating on getting Ina to work for us because of the Baking Workshop I intended to enrol in March 2010 at BITC. Will have much to discuss.

3 things that made me smile today :
1. shopping @ Sheng Shiong
2. Ili rinsing Uyop’s shirt
3. the thought of a reliable housekeeper
