4.44PM

I don't know why but for some odd reason unbeknownst to me or the universe, I seem to be drawn to 4.44pm. I'd unconsciously look at the time and it'd be 4.44pm. I'd be doing something, minding my own business and then I'd have the urge to look at the time... and there it would be.... 4.44pm. Why?

There's more but you get the point........ I'll get more screenshots and add to this collection as I go along...

How Did YOU Spend Mother's Day?

Let me see, I spent my first 8 hours of Mother's Day at work, then 30mins with my wonderful sister and her family, then 2 hours in Church, and then a further hour at a local shop to get some groceries. Finally, I am home, to my family, at 11am. I was told to march into the shower while hubby and Bryan got lunch ready.... So I did. These was waiting for me at the table as I emerged from my room....

PRESENTS! I was famished by now.... Too late for breakfast, too early for lunch, I had my favourite Mother's Day brunch instead with........

Yup! My (and the kids') favourite! KFC also gave me 2 Mother's Day presents.... 2 magazines. At that point, however eager I was to unwrap the pressies, presents could wait.... I was THAT hungry.

Thank you my 2 angels! Note: The pink phallic-shaped item there is an LED flashlight and it's not what you think it is.... a lipstick case.

 

With my tummy filled and my heart full, the next 4 hours were spent in a dreamless sleep. By the time I knew it, it was 5pm already and then to bed again at 9pm.

 

That's a day in my life, working night duties on a weekend... How did you spend your Mother's Day?

 

 

Minecraft Angels Watching Over Bryan As He Sleeps

Bryan is absolutely crazy over Minecraft... his latest added to his collection is this......

The glowing Red Stone Ore

I hope no one tells him that there is a Diamond Ore. These things cost a bomb!



The Navy Next?

Having lived in Singapore for 15 years, I have learnt that most parents, youth, mainly boys, shudder at the thought of entering the inevitable, National Service. Now what is "National Service" you may ask? Well, according to the most trusted site in the world, for Wikipidiots like me, Wikipedia states that "National service is a common name for mandatory or volunteer government service programmes (usually military service, also known as conscription). In Singapore, it's at least for 2 years. For the young and virile men, their fear of entering NS, from what I gather, was of losing their nubile girlfriends to NS men who have "ROD"ed (Run Out Date aka finished with NS). For the nerdy ones, maybe the fear of missing out of 2 years of university education. Oh I can go on with the stories. The most important thing to remember is that, in Singapore, they have no choice but to be enlisted.

Derrick had to go through the same thing in the past, went through countless Army Reservist duties throughout his young adulthood.

I wasn't in the army, but I served with the Singapore Civil Defence Force. The title of "Officer", Lieutenant was given to me. For me, it was a little different: I didn't have to dig trenches, although I did have to dig through rubble during my EAS stint. I didn't have to carry a gun, but I carried syringes, needles and morphine when I was on the streets. I didn't fight crime in the street but I fought to save lives on the streets. I didn't pepper my sentences with "sentence enhancers" aka hokkien curse words ... oh wait...



And now, my daughter, my Princess, has decided, on her own free will, to join the Australian Air Force Cadet Corp.... Sigh.... I'm waiting for Bryan to join the Navy, just to complete the circle.

This is my Princess on her way to her first in-camp over the weekend

These are pictures of her, post camp, all smelly and dishevelled.

 

 

As you can see, Bryan is so proud of his big sister, Cadet Liew!
