High Expectations

Finally getting things going.  Bought a new bed for Dad today.  Will be cleaning up their rooms for the next few days and planning for the move - that is what I plan for my block leave this year. 

Been feeling troubled over this matter - currently Kemp and Mum are sharing the MBR and Dad has a room to his own.  Been comtemplating if I should give Kemp his own bedroom but that will mean Dad to give up his room. After talking to Dad, realised that he also had this same thought and he was more than willing to give up his bedroom.  And so, The battle started…. 

The thought of Dad giving up his room made mw guilty.. Even thought of moving house, getting a bigger place etc just so each one of us could have our own room. But after thinking, I thought this environment was good for their retirement, the quietness, the greenery, the morning walks and exercise that they do everyday. 

Thereafter, had discussions with Tarrin - the fengshui, the position of bed for the 3 of them etc.. another headache.  

But now, everything’s at the final stage. Buying a bed and waiting for the new bed before we can do the move.  

Been feeling troubled over the move actually because of my high expectations and my want-to-give-them-the-best mindset. Was also afraid that the change will cause bad fengshui for them and etc

Yes, I know I tend to over think.. But I dont think I can control that, especially if it is relating to my family… I can settle for the moderate but I would want the best for them…… 

On Leave

On a day’s leave today after few weeks of working hard - a week of not taking leave as cover was on office duty, a week of covering and a week of covering duty in office. 

Prefer going shopping malls on weekdays as less crowded, especially if you are early.  Went around Giant IMM to use my $10 voucher.  Then to M1 to recontract Kemp’s line and a new Iphone 13 for him. 

Then a quick lunch and buying of teabreak and then back home, did some work till now… 

So sleepy and tired now. 

But 1 thing made me happy today - the M1 staff recommended that I change my Mum’s line to a SIM-only plan since her contract ended and no intention of getting a handset.  And it is cheaper monthly!  Yeahs!  And guess what, I was still feeling frustrated at the M1 shop earlier because there was a lady who cut my queue, and I scolded the staff manning the queue to look out for people queuing and not just serve whoever approaches.  Come to think of it, if the lady had not cut my queue, I wouldnt have met the M1 staff that gave me such good recommendations!  

Everything happens for a reason! 

Weekends… Too fast

Weekends… ended too fast.  Thought of resting at home but felt guilty towards my parents cos I was busy in office for the past week.  

And so… Saturday was about buying food that Dad likes.  Sunday was bringing Mum for shopping.  

Today was tiring.  My knees aching again (maybe because the weather turning cold).  Brought her to Chinatown to buy her clothes.  Then us to Orchard cos I also wanted to buy new clothes.  

Another week of working and I will be on block leave.  Looking forward…… 

But first.. I wish to settle the changing of rooms for Kemp and my parents….. 

Big hole in my pocket again.  

Just finished my 1 week stint in office.  Long and tired week.  Was W-ingFH for the past 6-7 weeks. 

Pretty happy to be back in office, met Ching, Elv and LY.  

Went for Korean BBQ on Friday with LY - the beef, pork and side dishes were nice!  

Oh and we had our virtual lunch on Friday too - the food was also nice!  But sigh, forgot to take pictures again… 

Hawker Centre at Toa Payoh Lorong 1

Long time since we came here for food.  Finally came here today because of Mum’s craving for the carrot cake.  

The 小碗面 here is also nice.  I queued for at least more than half an hour today.  But I was too hungry and forgot to take photo…. 

一切都是注定的。

你已经做的很好的。

如果是注定的，你怎么想都改变不了。
