Randomness......

The alarm clock did not wake me this morning. I was awaken by the alarm sound of my phone instead -Doris sms-ed me.

Doris offered roti prata from Jalan Kayu to a delighted me. So breakfast was 1 egg prata and 1 ‘kosong’ prata, for freeeeee. She did not want my money. Perfect start for the day?. That somehow compensated to the S$28 cab ride from home to Tuas-SP that I have to pay. Now that's what I called, daylight robbery. Never mind that.

Not much happened between 0830hrs and 1115hrs. Afterwards, had lunch with Rita at Banquet. Bought Andrew's, Adeline's and went to collect Doris', gifts. By the way, since the boss-Andrew, will be out the whole of next week, I will be out and about at the office; do some housekeeping perhaps? Andrew and family are going to Hanoi.

1430hrs headed home and was I glad to be home early today. I reached home before the girls did. Even Uyop was fast asleep. Did I mentioned Dyna sms-ed me - she said, I love you Mummy, I love you more and I love you Super more. How sweet. She's a darling.

We left for Changi Airport Terminal 2 close to 1700hrs. Uyop friends and family came so, so much later. We didnt want to wait much longer; decided not to linger around the airport lounge and went straight to Swensen's. Booked seats for 16 pax and, waited. And waited...

They came, ordered the food, eat, talk and talk. The children in their own play zone. Our friends and I were discussing our trip to Redang next year. We planned to drive there - that will take us hours and a few pit stops, thus the detailed planning. Interesting?

Hours later, paid the bill, continued our conversations at The Coffee Bean whilst our little bundle of laughs and funs, played at the blown-up castle nearby. It slipped my mind what was the "blown-up castle" or something of that sort is called-see photo above and the right. You know, the one that kids can jump, slide and have great fun. Ili and Nylie went shopping. Nylie got herself a Nike school bag - a good buy.

Believe it or not, at 2300hrs, the kids were still full of energy. Im not. Despite such great fun and accompanied by happy friends, I was aching to leave. My back hurts, and Im having a throbbing headache. Our drive home was different from when were at the airport. There were total silence, besides Jasmine's blabbering on air; the music she played was a consolation.

We planned to go to Ion tomorrow after Uyop's Friday prayer. But then again, today, tomorrow and day after will be day of randomness. We are so going to enjoy the long weekends. I'd better get some sleep now.

To my friends out there, have an enjoyable holiday.
