A very busy Friday

On Friday, I was extremely busy. I woke up late at 8am and quickly prepared the children;s breakfast and lunch. Luckily I still managed to get their sandwiches and pancakes ready. Charles as usual said that he was not hungry and refused to eat his breakfast. I managed to get him to drink a cup of miloand a quarter of a pancake. After sending the kids to school, I came back immediately to clean up. After a while, Channery refused to watch the children's programme on her own and she made me sit with her. I took the opportunity to sew Charlynn's name on her jumper. Btw she found her jumper. It was in a corner of her Chinese Class. When I asked her to go search for it, she was not thorough and did not see it. After a week's suffering, she was lucky to find it. No more nagging and anger from parents. Luckily we did not buy her a new jumper on Monday. We actually made the trip down to Lowes but she changed her mind.

At 11 plus, my male neighbour came over and asked me to go over for coffee. I am really scared of this man. He seems and definitely the "Chi Ko Peh". He kissed me on the cheeks the other time and made me very uncomfortable. I am the openminded lady but his actions was really not the usual greetings. I have told Joe I need to keep a safe distance from him. He once told me his wife is away every Friday and I kinda had a shock to hear him inviting me over for coffee.
Well! I told him no I have lots of chores to be done and baby sleeping. He even said to go over to take a lolly for Channery. Well! I told him I have cooked lunch and baby to eat lunch soon so can't take sweets. Very uncomfortable with him around and sometimes when I go out to hang laundry I usually will take note that he was not around as he can always peep at me from his house. The wall separating our houses is only the height of my shoulder so I have seen him watching us.

Anyway, will take care of myself. He is a grandfather of 7 so he better watches what he is doing. I will learn to keep a safe distance from him. Okay back to Friday. I was very happy to send him away and decided to watch Tv. To my surprise, there was a movie "Le Divorce". It was a very interesting movie about an American lady in Paris. Well! People staying in different parts of the world sure have many differences and social etiquette and definitely some bias. Somehow the ways of doing things are very different too.

After watching the show, I quickly put Channery in the car and drove to the petrol koisk. Need to pump petrol and pump up gas for the tyres. Guess what I was so blurred I pumped the premium petrol and still not very sure whether if I had did the pumping of gas correctly. The pump here does not have beeping sound and just do it when you feel is okay. Funny way of doing things.

After paying I quickly rushed to fetch the kids. No parking lot so I actually walked a long way to get them. Friday is their Art lesson so we need to really rush a bit as I need to pick Joe up before sending them to Jean's house. However, Charlynn and Chantz did not follow my instructions and we lost one another. Needless to say they were scolded of not being cooperative.

After sending the kids to Jean, went shopping for groceries. Prices of things are about the same but we still bought quite a bit of stuff. After children's lesson, we decided to go King;s street for dinner. It is actually near Joe's school so we were back to that direction. We had thai food at a "Thai times 9 ". The food is not as fabulous as the one down the street. I have decided to learn how to cook Thai food so as to save us the $50 we spent at the restaurant.

Upon reaching home, Joe was hoping to catch a live telecast of football on tV but the kids wanted to watch Simpsons and other shows. Joe threatened to send the TV away as kids are addicted to TV. To me, I can't live without a tv so he probably won't have his wish.
