I caught up with my old team mates for brunch yesterday! It was really nice catching up and I was reminded of how lucky I was to have such a fabulous team, we were always busy but also very happy and productive. We ended up chatting for over three hours, I was so shocked when I realised it was 1pm especially since I promised the kids I would be back very soon.
Luckily the girls didn’t miss me at all and told me they had fun helping their papa with gardening. In fact Saitaomei asked me this morning whether I found the lawn very nice and neat ‘we helped to clean it up!’
Luckily it was not too late in the day for us to venture into the city.
When we were young, I remember going to places like Kuching Plaza and Sarawak Plaza with my parents and he really enjoying ourselves. I also remember our evening strolls at Kenyalang, borrowing video tapes and buying kuih from the kuih aunties. Sometimes we bought taofufa too. I wonder whether our city weekend outings, the local playground and local shopping forum will be what my kids remember of their childhood.
It’s Monday again but I am relaxed and chilled because there’s no work ! I know that subconsciously I am still thinking about my work because I dream of work and my colleagues at night. I wonder how long it will take for my traumatic work experience of the past few years to fade away. I guess it affected me more than I realised.
The morning was spent walking the kids to school, grocery shopping with ah ma, then lunch and some cooking. I finally managed to hand in the kids’ passport application, phew, at least one horrendous administrative task ticked off till the next five years. I’ve realised that I’m actually terrible at administrative tasks, I’m so disorganised it shouldn’t come as a surprise but sometimes I forget how daitaoha I really am.
I’m hoping I get to go for a swim tomorrow, ahh this holiday is glorious 🥰
