Oh, I am an incurable shopaholic. Went to Cocoon again, to collect my altered dress, and the whole shop is on a 1-for-1 sale now!! But... I had parked some distance away (what to do, we non-tai-tais, who count ourselves fortunate to have a car, still have to save on parking fees whenever possible and park at URA car parks when we can find them) and had put just one coupon for half an hour. So... I didn't really have time to try anything. And who should I meet but radiant, just-married S, who was picking out clothes to try as I left. Enviously. Sigh... sigh...
Well, I suppose it was good that I didn't have enough time to try the clothes. I don't need anymore, do I?
The holidays are certainly fun, even for stay@ home mums. No pressing need to get anything ready at a particular hour, or to be at the school gate at a particular time, etc. Anyway, the poor boy is stuck these two days at a Chinese 'camp' (full-day enrichment programme). He proclaims that he dislikes Chinese but he actually did 'very well' (his teacher's words) for his exam. How it was possible that he did much better for Chinese than English I don't really know. To his delight, we stopped the weekly Chinese 'enrichment' (seemed to me more academic than enrichment) classes he had been attending for 3 years since we are now living on just one salary. However, as he's not going to be speaking much, or any, Mandarin till school starts next year, we thought he should go for some holiday classes.
Just heard on the news that global donations covered just 57% of the UN's appeal for monetary aid put out at the end of last year.
