Last Weekend of 2022

Popo went for cruise! Woohoo! She was sailing with my brother's family and my SIL's extended family on the World Resort cruise. Why was I not at all jealous but beaming at the thought of the weekend freedom? FREEDOM! The kids were equally excited and started making plans. Popo needs to go more cruises. It is for everybody's good. I have been very encouraging. 

The 1st program for the long weekend was to JBP. I remembered those days where we signed up as members and would bring the kid(s) in stroller to the BP on weekend morning bcos it is literally a stone throw away. JBP is moving and there is a promotion - $10/ pax. Grab!

We didn't stay long, about 3 hours. Luckily the tickets are at $10 a piece or I would make the kids stay the entire day. Lol. We caught both shows, making our money worth. 

We had to leave after the 2nd show bcos Nana had program in the afternoon and Zaky was just tired.. like any other days. Zzzzz. 

Popo left at about 3pm and Zaky had his friend, B, over for sleepover. The timing was perfect, Popo left and soon after, B appeared. We are well trained. 

Bcos Popo wasn't home, Mochi spent alot of time outside of his cage and terrorising Puffy. 

Then picking whichever spots to nap. Good life. 

Mochi also got to sleep outside his cage for the night, his very 1st. Puffy was moved to the kitchen in case we wake up to a dead hamster. I woke up at 3am for the last RI of CY 22 and found Mochi chilling in the balcony. Nice.. he also didn't break anything or meow the night away. Good kitty.

Oh yes, I did the last 2022 RI with the WWF. The weather forecast said that it would be windy and cool. Then it started drizzling when I left the house at 3.40am, which turned to a light shower. T.T why like that? 

We decided to meet nevertheless and fortunately it lightened to a drizzle again. We rolled off on wet roads and it drizzled for a long time. We decided to go anti-clockwise to escape the rain, my 1st ever anti-clockeise RI. 

The drizzle didn't really stop and up to ECP, I cannot tell if it was the rain or the water splashing from the road. It didn't matter anymore. 

The returning leg was tiring bcos there were too many traffic lights and thus too many stopping and starting. We took turns to pull; whoever that still had energy to do so. I started to 怀疑人生 in Woodlands and it didn't help that Woodlands is like so huge when one is tired and we never seem to get out of it. 

Finally, completed! My longest RI!

Daddy Lim brought all the kids to ECP skatepark. I came home to peace and quiet and a cat. By the time they were home, I had cleaned and lub my bike, cleaned Puffy's cage and Mochi's litter. Accomplishments unlocked! 

I spent the afternoon napping. I cannot. I heard the boys swam and were happy playing games, leaving Daddy Lim and I in search of dinner and to tabao for them. Nana had her friends over in the afternoon. I didn't even see them much. Then she left for a sleepover at her Youth's home. 

Ooo.. I missed Taiwan. 

I don't know what time B left, I was quite wasted and was hiding in the room. Mochi earned another night of sleeping outside of his cage. Did we countdown and with the kopitaim uncles? Of course not lah, only Nana did countdown with her youths. Young people can. Hmm.. the kopitiam uncles also young. 

While we turned in early, sleep was so disturbed. Daddy Lim had a nightmare, I saved his life and woke him. It turned out that I was his nightmare, wearing a white mask and strangling him in his dream. Lol. It was shortly after midnight. Then at 1ish, I was awoken when Daddy Lim yelled "who is that?". Obviously, it was Zaky who went to the toilet and couldn't sleep after that and was loitering at the end of our bed. Zzzz. 

I tucked Zaky back to bed and came back to my own bed at 2ish. Yawn. The next morning, I went bfast with Daddy Lim and again, saw that the happening and "young" kopitiam uncles had an excellent countdown. 

Zaky and I didn't do much for the day, but ensure that we didn't leave evidence of the sleepover before Popo's return. Nana came back in the early afternoon and was beat. Daddy Lim brought the kids to the indoor skatepark for more skating. The highlight of the session must be Daddy Lim and Zaky knocking into each other bcos Zaky was looking only at the camera. 

While Zaky was "bumped off", they both fell and we had a good laugh. Lol. 

Bcos it was New Year's Day, it called for a good dinner. We booked ourselves a table at I'm Kim Korea BBQ, at the very last minute. 

With that, we ended our last weekend of CY2022. May CY2023 will be filled with plenty of love, joy and laughter and be more exciting with traveling back in full force. Hoho.
