Always nice to have a long weekend! This time, Friday was the day off work. Thursday ended on a sour note at work but I won’t go into that.

Friday morning we packed up the ratbags and went with the whole gang to Sembawang Park so they could play in the playground. Was a hot and sunny day and the boys had a ball. Shanthi and I went for a look-see at the new terrace houses being sold there by Fragrance Homes (yep the same group that brought us the Fragrance hotel chain!) The houses are really lovely. 4-storeys, 6 bedrooms (incl guest room on ground floor), 5 of which have attached ensuites. Even has a lift (yes a lift), such an extravagance. Priced around S$1.3-1.5m but it’s a buyer’s market so they’re taking offers. Only 99 years leaseholds though.

Saturday was the boys playschool in the morning followed by roti prata for the 4 of us next door. Then we dropped the boys he to rest and Shanthi and I wentut for a couple hours alone.

Sunday is 2/3 over now. Shanthi met her friend for an early breakfast with Keith in tow (Kyle was still sleeping). I was taxi driver and enjoyed a nice coffee and breakfast by myself at Borders while waiting, followed by a little bit of clothes shopping at M&S! Then we went home, I did a few small things that needed doing and now a loaf of herbed bread is in the breadmaker and I can hear my Silvia calling me to take her for a spin with a shots or two of fine Highlander supremo blend.

Soon it will me Monday, and that’s something else I won’t go into much here (lest I bring dark clouds to an otherwise fine Sunday). The Straits Times says the new Aware exco was itself ousted after failing a no-confidence vote at EGM yesterday. Reads like a very poorly managed takeover from where I sit.

Peace.
