dad

My dad is close to 70yrs old. Born in 1940. He used to work in Toyota as a storekeeper. Retired.. well, Retired for 6months I think..Then he got bored and started working again..

I called him last night to tell him to stop working in jun/july. At least he said he’ll think about it.

Have to thank thewife for triggering me on that. We tend to forget he’s ~70 … and his job is taking its toll on him..

My sis and I agree that the main challenge will be boredom

We had lunch with him yesterday as well. He bought some fresh strawberries for theson. he won some money so he wanted to treat us lunch. We had a good lunch and managed to chat a bit with him about quitting. He said he’ll quit in july after they move to the new place. I’m ok with that. You’ve worked enough dad.

thegoodson

Theson is actually a very good and generous boy. Well sometimes he’s a bit moody and cranky and stubborn but like I said he’s got a kind heart.

Yesterday at his English class, he cut out pictures of cakes from a brochure ….(We were at CB&TL the other evening and he took the brochure for the cake listing) and …anyway, he gave one cake cutting to each of the teachers.. :-)

CB&TL

When you are stressed, down an ice blended.. it helps

Thewife took a mocha while I took an ultimate ice blended from CB&TL

Mondays really suck…

war

The kids are at war.

theson fights in stealth. He attacks thebaby when we are not looking. Pinch, push, pull… some instances we cant prove it, once when thebaby cartwheeled and fell.. seeking attention.

thebaby also cannot be underestimated. Though he’s only 16months, he just goes head in and bashes. he bashed theson’s head with the tv remote, mineral water bottle and yesterday with a plastic cup..

You can hear a loud “thunk” every time it happens followed by theson wailing…

Sigh..

orange

I’ve attended 2 farewells lunches and for both I’m wearing the same shirt..Orange striped..

It looks like thats my Friday uniform.. I must say I do look good in brighter colours, though I still love my “greys”

its fun

when you know people are blatantly twisting and turning and lying to you.... sigh.... we know what you are doing laaah, dumbass… mgmt cannot be trusted. They will always have an answer for you.. I hope I never turn into that..

step back

everyone should take a step back and learn from the susan boyle incident...
 
many times we always pre-judge people by how they look or how they act or how they sound..
we all have our prejudices no matter how well we try to suppress them
never judge a book by its cover..
 
 
did you learn something?

krod over boys

thewife is hooked on a new korean tv serial "boys over flowers"..i saw one episode and to me its not a good sign when the boys look prettier than the girls...seriously, the girl were really bland/plain... was that intentional? dont think i'll be watching that show... :-P
on a brighter note, i've actually started watching krod mandoon. its a sword/sorcery produced by comedy central. each episode is only 20mins but so far i actually like the humour. its just hilarious... over the top.. lets see how long it can last.

alone time

we managed to get some alone time on friday. so what did we do? we went to the 3-points-of-gold at the bays-of-queens and ate to our hearts content. we had 2 full hours to eat slowly, not rush, not worry abt whos going to spill his drinks or  who did not have enoughh to eat..
just us.. it was an ala-carte buffet. cost us both $99 but it was worth it.
we had : springrolls, stirfry veggie, prawns, softshell crabs, tomyam soup, deep fried fish, 2 small desserts and 4 glasses of fruit juice. all this for $99. i think it was definitely worth it. by the way, each servings looked like it was for 3 people.. i loved the crabs and the fish... thewife loved the soup.. we're definitely going back maybe with my sis in tow..
we were supposed to go for the companys annual dinner but we just didnt feel like it. yaya, anti-social... it would've finished late anyway and i knew we wouldnt be able to make back in time to fetch the kids. thebabysitter limit is still at 930pm.
