A short work week, but was quite hectic, with all the prep for my work trip next week..

I met two ex-colleagues last week and we spent a lot of time gossiping about people we know. I had planned to be there for just an hour, but it stretched to more than 2 hours. We had so much fun, that we are planning another meet soon, after the PSLE exams though…

I’ve had this dream twice now – both times it shows BB in the dream school I have written about before. I really don’t know what this means – perhaps it’s my subconscious telling me to let go of that dream!

According to astrology, a golden period in my life which comes once in twelve years is starting soon. My wish is that, if this is a golden period, then hopefully the universe will send me a warm glow where my children do well in their exams and my job situation also improves…

A very short work week which meant I had a lot of time with the kids. We had Friday till Monday off and other than a run on Friday morning to stock up on groceries at Little India, I did not leave the house at all!

But with tuitions scheduled everyday early in the morning, it did mean I didn’t get to sleep in, but that was compensated by afternoon naps – such an indulgence these days…

Also did a lot of television watching as all the channels in both Starhub and Singtel were free for the Jubilee Weekend.

Oh, I have put this down – since a lot of attractions were free during the weekend, the crowds were to be seen to believed. On Friday, someone I knew decided to visit the Arts Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands since it was free (as a perspective, it costs between $30-$40 per person otherwise), she reached there around 10:30 – 11 am and the waiting time to enter the museum was 5 hours!! Then yesterday, the folks who run the cable car into Sentosa decided to have the run between Vivo City and Sentosa free and I read on Facebook that around 4 pm, the waiting time to get into the cable car was 10 hours!!! This is so unbelievable…..I am so glad we stayed at home and chilled..

Meeting a friend later today after work. She was an ex-colleague turned friend, so am anticipating a good gossip session….

We are in August now, where did the months go! Less than half the year to end 2015 and two months more to the PSLE!

The usual week which was enlivened by the NDP preview we went to on Saturday! This was our first NDP and the atmosphere was terrific. We got tickets for the Floating platform, and not at the Padang where all the action was, but the fireworks here was simply amazing!

If this was the case one week before the celebrations, I am sure the energy and atmosphere next week will be electric!! And the fireworks, they were amazing! I heard that what was shown at the preview was only a part of what will be shown next week, so if you are in Singapore next Sunday, do watch the NDP show. I’m planning another post on the NDP show later in the week and have more pics in my camera which I need to download, so more later…

But I was so tired after coming home and was even feeling it yesterday. A heartfelt salute to all the performers, presenters, motivators, ushers and volunteers who have been doing this every Saturday right from July….

Work-wise, I spoke to my boss about not going for the Delhi trip later in the month and he asked me to reconsider as the meeting is basically my baby and I have been planning and working on it for almost 3 months now, from logistics to agenda. So I will talk to S and the brats once more and take a decision soon!

The next two weeks are short ones (we get Friday to Monday off) as part of the Jubilee Weekend celebrations and I am really looking forward to the long and relaxing weekend…
