Well, hubs, bubs and I had been on our 3 weeks holiday to Singapore and Hong Kong and got back last week but mentally, I have just returned to blogosphere after having to plunge myself into a backlog of work, cleaning and getting connected again with my network of friends here.
In between all that last week, there was also the excitement of Australia beating Japan 3-1 (should have been 3-0 if the fault was picked up by the referee!!!) in the World Cup Soccer in Germany. Normally, I'm not into sports but Australia hasn't made it to the finals in the Soccer World Cup since 32 years ago so it's a big thing. More a nationalistic thing than the love of the sport, really. The 3 goals that Australia managed to get in the last 7 minutes of the game was just grinding but brilliant to watch. What a sentiment it created for the whole week and we're still talking about it!
Then my son went to childcare for just one day this week for the first time so that was another big emotional event. I was really anxious the night before and the whole day while he was in childcare. I even stayed and watch him from a "hidden" room for about an hour before I finally left him with the capable carers. Ended up, he was just fine after the first hour. Ate all his lunch, didn't nap, socialised well, played well, gave the carers lots of smiles and laughs, and was following instructions when I arrived to pick him up! He went so well, I decided to put him in childcare for two days a week starting next week! I'm so proud of him!
I haven't forgotten the holidays. We had so much fun. It really brought out the good in all of us but it was also very tiring thus the need to sleep a few days after we returned! We ate and walked heaps but we must have eaten more than we walked because I still gained a few kilos! I will have to have a post or two on the holidays.
Well, that's all for now. I thought I start with something small to get the momentum back!

Sorry I missed you in HK.
Tried contacting you but to no avail.
Sorry!
Tried to reach you in recent weeks.
Sorry that I missed you guys in HK.
Jaywalk, not to worry. I forgot to get your contact no in
Shenzhen before you left for France. We were in Disneyland on 1-2 June anyway coz I made a mistake with booking the days and it was one of those no refund bookings so you would have had to come meet us there and I know you don't like the HK disneyland so I didn't bother trying to contact you. Might be able to catch you in Spore during Christmas?
If I can come back for Christmas hor, I would love to meet up.
But, let me go get a hair cut. Damn long by then it would have been 1 year never cut liao!
Err... how come Cheena barber not good enough is it? Must wait till you get back to Spore before you can have a haircut? I think hor, it's an excuse to have a hippie look, right? Midlife crisis har?
I have been getting my hair cut at the same place in Holland V for the past 20 years (since 1986).
Since Sec 3 wor! Got kum cheng lah!
