Feeling Monday blues

Last Saturday I was the MCee for woodlands Zone 11 RC Chinese Dinner Feast. Actually everyone was busy preparing the occasion on Friday night and on Saturday morning. Friday night many helped in decorating the venue and Saturday night we were preparing the mandarin oranges and getting the things ready. For this event, Irene was the most pitiful. She was the one selling most of the dinner tickets at $20 per pax and getting sponsorships for the various things. Nowadays people have all sorts of reasons of not being able to help out. Somehow Lack of trust is a really fact. Actually we are all volunteers so there is really no need to second guess too much. I hope everyone can just give all they can and contribute like before. I was really tired after the event as I have not worn long heels for a really long time and all the standing is really too much for me. Luckily all went okay and we had a lot of fun too.

The next day, members were supposed to gather at 4pm to prepare for the Chinggay float event. My kids were really not cooperative and so I was half an hour late when I arrived. Children played and ran about for a while and the sky suddenly turned dark and it started to rain cats and dogs. Everyone was trapped under the tentage and my two sons could not stopped complaining. In the end, I allowed then\m to be drenched as I had bought some clothes for them to change.

The evening we had some la wei fan. I had cooked it at 2pm and it was kept in the thermal pot. Sons were busy playing and watching the programme after that. The Ching gay processsion was delayed as some of the floats were damaged by the heavy down pour. We ended up waited for a lont time. This year's floats were quite disappointing as they only had 4 floats coming our way. My kids and I were lucky enough to catch 4 other floats while on our way home after the event. Somehow spending so long there is a really big mistake. We only reached home at 11pm and kids only got to bed at 12am.

This morning the boys acted out and refused to go to school. Really angry with them but what can I say? The answer is that the boys will not go out with me again lo. They are now used to sprouting foul languages and even did that in public. Their behaviour is a disgrace to me as well. Fighting and pushing and bickering in public. Really hope to send them abroad as far away from me as possible. Anyone keen on adopting a pair of twins????
