What a fright

Today passed by peacefully and children were reminded to keep their volume down. After I bought the carpet, the noise is not lessen. The carpet could not stop the loud noise so it is a waste of money if we were to carpet the whole house. The timber floor will continue to have the loud " thud...thud...thud" when they run or walk like an elephant. If children don't cooperate, I am afraid we will have to look for another place. With the breech of contract, we will have to bear the cost of the landlord finding a new tenent so our deposit will be forfeited. Moreover, finding another place could be difficult as landlords usually do not prefer big family.

Anyway today's blog is not about the noise which I have no control. Just now at dinner time Channery gave us a fright when she choked on the chicken she was eating. Luckily I have some first aid skills and managed to get the choked item out. I was really not confident of getting the food out for even experienced first aider might not succeed. I kept my cool and did what I know and luckily she coughed it out. I was thinking of what to do at that moment and CPR flashed in my mind. I think I better go and read my first aid book again to refresh my memory. This is one book that I must have whereever I go.

Now we are watching a show" Bondi Rescue". Many people are really not aware of the danger of swimming at Bondi Beach. The beach is a world famous beach as the wave is huge and good for surfing. If you are swept out of sea, that is the Atlantic Ocean. Scary that many people are not so concerned of their own danger. The TV station always managed to catch the life guards in action every summer and there is no lack of surprises.

Alright that's all. I can't wait to go back Singapore and I dread cooking the reunion dinner as Joe will only be back at about six plus. Wishing all of you back in Singapore a Prosperous and happy Rat year. That is Joe and my year so you probably can guess how old are we. :>
