A Brand NEW YEAR

1/1/08 Tues

Woke up really LATE today. Meryl and I was only up at 10 and then did a mad rush of getting ready to go visit my dad. Arrived at the hospital at about 11 and met up with the rest. The grandfather was wide awake but unresponsive as usual and there were lots of comments about his loss of weight which some of us think is good to keep his weight low. Then it was mahjung time at 3rd Aunt's house while the kids went to the playground. The hubby was not happy when the game was still ongoing at 2 as it was way past the kids' lunchtime. Luckily there was a coffee shop selling delicious 'zhi char' just a block away and we had a sumptuous lunch. Then it was back home and we slept 3 hrs straight. Dinner was a simple affair of porridge and then we went over to Ta jiu's house to play x-box.

Today was the 1st day of school for both Meryl and myself. She was accompanied by her dad for the 1st half of her school and I rushed down straight after school to catch her in action for the last half and hour. She seemed to be doing fine and her brother, for lack of nothing to do was also in her class! Took a lift from Siew Yei as it was still raining and put the kids to sleep after a snack. Meryl slept from 3.30 to almost 6pm! After dinner, we went to AMK hub to do some groceries and bought some durian puffs.
