Thanks to Alicia, else I would have postponed my long over-due hair-cut appointment indefinitely. She also gave me the perfect reason to "chim" in Starbucks for a while before the hair-cut, have not done such things for a long time.
With the new hair trim and colour, last week seems more colourful too! Despite the annoyingly frequent conference calls, managed to squeeze in a drink and dinner with Mike and Rickson at Prego's! How I miss that bread they serve there! So much so I had to take a picture.... Bumped into Owen - my ex-colleague at Tokai Bank many years back- at "His Grace" cafe.. and this was right after Vincent told me Owen came to our office the previous day to attend seminar and missed meeting me as I was out at that time!!! What a coincidence. Then on Saturday, when my Aunt Annie came by my place to collect her Tupperware, I sent my maid down to meet her as I just reached home after an afternoon of shopping with Ying Hong and was too tired to step out. Guess what? Today as we were cycling in Pasir Ris beach park, we saw her there!! Quickly got Yinghong to pose for a picture with Aunt Annie...As always, thanks for all those wonderful kueys you make for us!!!!!
And one other thing I have not done for a long time.. I did it this week , i.e. reading a Novel!! Boon Chong passed me this book he bought from Chennai airport - "for one more day" by Mitch Albom. Not a bad read at all, a little sad as the story telling involves the character losing his mum. Mainly, how you wish you can have one more day, or one more conversation with the loved one you have lost. When she/he was around, you always thought you have plenty of time.... sound familiar?
Oh, and today I went to the new Coffee Club in White Sands to have a nice glass of iced latte and read the book there, while Ying Hong was at her friend's birthday party. This place is cool!!! Nice green retro swivel chair (actually very comfortable!) and a row of red sofas with the table in a dug-in hole! Like a tatami style! I am sure Ying Hong will love it! True enough,when I told her about it just now, she said "Let's go now!"... will wait till next weekend anyhow.
Hmmmmm.. back to real life.. Jasmine and Alicia have been talking about their FACEBOOK experience, Urai has succumbed to their persuasion and opened an account... don't think I could do that.. far too much time needed to maintain another on-line psuedo social circle..
my real-life circle of friends are the best!
