This was a short week as I was on leave on Wednesday to buy school books and uniform with Zaky. I think every other colleague is on leave bcos my work calendar was exceptionally empty. I don't get many emails or messages from colleagues too. It is actually a nice way to welcome Christmas and to end the year. Hoho.
True be told, I can't remember if it was similar the last 2 covid year end. I think not bcos travel was restricted then and everybody ended up working. I like this quiet. There was even an email from the shared office that the office would close at 3pm on Friday, basically telling us not to go in to office. Ok, I am very obedient. I happily and quietly WFH on Thursday and Friday.
Daddy Lim had to work hard to bring home the bacon. The shipyard doesn't sleep. We agreed to meet at Jem/ Westgate to only see hoards of people. Obviously we weren't the only ones who started Christmas celebrations early. We ended up having dinner at Toby's. It is OK, we are simple food people.
On Saturday morning, Daddy Lim brought the 2 kids for aggro skating class while I go chased after some 包 with the WWF.
I fell during the ride. It was such a silly fall.
We were at the light and it had just turned green. I had my left foot unclipped and was trying to balance without coming to a complete halt bcos I was lazy. Just when I was sure that we were rolling off, the cyclist in front of me came to a complete stop. I tilted my handle bar right to avoid his wheel and in doing so, shifted my weight to the right and I flopped onto my right, with my right foot still clipped in bcos I don't know how to unclip my right foot. Palm-face.
Luckily I wasn't the last rider (the last 2nd one). Unluckily, other than the last rider, nobody knew that I had fallen and had rolled off. Luckily again that the last rider was a big size guy bcos I couldn't get up with the bicycle still on my right foot and the foot still clipped in. He hauled me up, allowing me to unclip and free myself. Other than a small scratch on my knee, I was fine, only my ego was badly bruised. I was glad that there were no other cyclists or cars to witness my silly act. So stupid.
Nana went out with her friends in the afternoon. Zaky was happy to stay at home to game. Daddy Lim and I had lunch on our own and did some shopping. He needed a hair cut; he always need a haircut. Lol. I have barely seen his hair longer than crew cut. Then we saw this on sale.
Daddy Lim pleaded with his puppy eyes to buy this super expensive shower foam.
This shower foam bought back funny memories. Many, many, many moons back, we were at Auntie H's place for playdates and these playdates usually include a bath where the kids would had fun in their big bathroom. We heard giggles and laughters and to our horror, they had used up a good half bottle of Auntie H's expensive rainbath, and innocently claiming that they wanted to wash the toilet. Nana totally remembered the incident and the aroma brought back all these memories. Oh yes, Auntie H's toilet ended up very sweet smelling. Lol.
We were back in Jem again and this time, we managed to find decent food bcos we were early.
The evening was so cool and windy. Nana and I took a moment to enjoy on the beach chairs. I told Nana that I could totally take a nap if I had a blanket.
Did we countdown? Of course not lah. Daddy Lim was in bed before 9pm. By 9.30pm, I was about to doze off and went to lala land when tucking Zaky to bed. I don't know what time I crawled back to my bed. The next time I checked time, it was already 1am. Merry Christmas! Hoho.
