End of holiday


My holiday is officially over tonight. Tomorrow is the first day of class. What have I done during the long break? I didn't get to do the literature research I promised myself to do for my thesis. That's the biggest failure of the season, I guess. But I've done plenty:
  1. Pampering my family with daily chauffeuring services.
  2. Home cooked lunch and dinner almost daily.
  3. Five days of cooking for 600 VBS kids and volunteers.
  4. Scanning my children's pre-digital photos. Yea ... all done.
  5. Learn to export and import (files).
  6. Migrate to gmail.
  7. Went to see a doctor for health check (1st time in 11 years, uugh dreading that for years)
  8. Made a simple scrapbook for Daniel.
  9. Hosted Women Enrichment Ministry's Summer coffee at my house.
  10. Hosted luncheon for my former cell group mates.
  11. Went for long coffee with Chihiro.
  12. Going to airport to pick up and send relatives (How many times? Lost count already)
  13. Be a part of the new GKY in Singapore.
  14. Redecorate the balcony with new plants and new upholstery.
  15. Survive 1 month without a part time cleaner. (Found out that Natasha can iron her own clothes:) and Daniel doesn't care much about ironed clothes)
  16. Went out for lunch with Leony and Kevin.
  17. Spent the whole morning talking with Elly (a friend who is visiting from Indonesia).
  18. Had lunch with Elly.
  19. Brought Lilies and her two interesting daughters sight seeing in Singapore.
  20. Read lots of trashy novels.
  21. Read Scott F. Fitzgerald's "The Rich Boy" and "The Popular Girl" (I hope someday my kids will read these)
  22. Increase my level of intensity on the treadmill. (Incline at 5.0 yea..)
  23. Come to terms with some life issues.
  24. Watch lots of FOX news and Hallmark movies.
  25. Birth day party for Daniel (today!)
So you see, I did plenty after all. Including the VBS participants and the ladies who came for coffee and luncheon, I'd say I had touched at least 650 people with goodness and graciousness. Ha ha ha... what a nice way to say I've done nothing much for almost three months.
