The estate flea market had come and gone with just over hundred in cash takings. Business was not good! May be it coincided with the Great Singapore Sale and the beginning of the school hols or the fact that now a days there are so many stalls close to 70 all selling similar items ranging form baby to books to toys to used clothes, shoes and bags.
I had hired a ad hoc baby sitter to "jaga" Rachel since she liked so much to run about in the estate and thankfully my Sis in law Eve helped tremenduously from the moving of the heavy toyogos up a flight of stairs to promoting. She's really good and strong for her age and i actually feel bad each time she helped me. We had pizza dinner after that long hard day where the rains threatened to pour not once but twice.
Talking about weather, these days its so hot you could melt. Since young i prayed that Singapore will be cooler, best at least 5deg cooler, I would not mind if it rain daily as it would mean cooler temperatures. I also dun understand when people adjust their thermostat to 25deg its far too warm for air con temp. I function best when its bet 20-22deg and no i do not have any thyriod problems but perhaps I am carrying too much Blubber. Well insulated from the cold.
Now that i am a full time mother and rachel is not attending child care any more, I literally have no time to even look into the mirror. You see, I am the type that need to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror criticising every mole and black head and applying this and that from head to toe before i feel really "GOOD" Each morning i also need a nice cuppa with papers to crank my engine. Afterall, I am still waking at least once a night to nurse my toddler. (I have not slept through the night since 2004 Mar)
I hardly have time to exercise too, its so difficult, when she is awake she NEEDS me to play with her, read to her, paint with her, play computer games and learn together with her and when she sleeps i have so much to catch up in terms of house hold chores or meal preparation. Sometimes, after she sleeps at night I finally have the luxury to focus on cleaning the house.
I am quite house proud and rather a neat freak. I can't stand hair on the laminate floors or in the bath room. So are soap or toothpaste stains on the sink or vanity surface. I get irritated when things are in a mess. Some times i have to clean the floors several times a day due to baby food mess. How to have more kids?? One is enough!
Afterall, I had cared for baby since Day One when were back home from the hospital with a SUPER ULTRA BLOODY PAINFUL C-SECTION.
