National Day Dinner @ Sydney

We had National Day Dinner at Stamford hotel on Saturday. The food was not very authentic. Actually I think we are overpaying for the kind of food provided. I think most of the cost goes to the fresh oysters and wine which our family do not take at all. The singapore food they prepared was lousy. I think I can cook better than them.

We sat with a family whereby the husband is working for a German company. They had stayed in Germany for 2 years before the company posted the dad to australia. The company applied for their PR when they came here 6 years ago and they got it within 2months. The wife is not working and she is busy being the class mum. She helps in the classroom and keeps herself busy socializing with the other mums playing golf and tennis etc. Husband flies regularly to Germany as he is needed back in Germany. They had been PR for 6 years and definitely very Aussie already. To them, Singapore is a holiday destination. Their 2 boys are studying in the private school and the boys's days are scheduled for many activities. I think the mum is a bit kaisu to let the boys learn so many things. They are living an elite lifestyle and as comparison, we are not really living in style. Our neighbourhood is not very good with many immigrants. My kids are picking up bad language and habits from their peers. Joe think it is alright for them to be in the public school full of immigrants. I told him I wanna send them to a school where there are more Aussie kids but he said there was no need to. Jing zhu zhe chi, jin mo zhe hei, I can not be Meng mu as I have no say over the finances and the place we stay depends on how much Joe is willing to fork out. Maybe to save money, we should cut down on their after school activities and just bring them play balls at the park.

Feel like going home already. Can I tahan till next year DEC? My mum kept telling me to go back as she said I am being selfish and kids will not be able to catch up with their peers when they come back.

Told Joe I wanna go back this dec but he is against the idea. Maybe it's a better option as he will be free from us and does whatever he wants. As for the kids, they can do whatever they want and I just have to let them be la. i was too stressed out over their school refusal and not studying in Singapore. sometimes I think that no one is indispensable. My ex colleague can just dropped dead and the husband got married after a year. Her kids learnt to live with the step mum and step siblings and somehow they seem okay. We can only live once and who knows what will happen tomorrow????
