Split personality

I can't be alone! You are hard driven at work, make decisions, be on the go the whole day and simply never have time to pee! At home, you just want to relax. You like to see the world goes by and let others decide. You are the easy-going dude who kind of loathe to make any decision.

Well, I kind am like that. Which sometimes drives my wife nuts. On Thursday, she got some "free" entrace to the bird park. Well, I kind of initiated the idea of bringing my parents to the bird park since well, they kind of visited almost every shopping malls and shops in Singapore. Seriously, I thought that it'd be nice even though they've been there. So, my wife got all excited and managed to book those free passes (4 in all). Turns out that I did not really put a concrete plan and by Thursday night, there's still no plan. I was like ".. take it easy.. maybe the plan will just happen". Anyway, turns out that my parents do not want to go as they've been there before. Oh well....

So, we're planning to go to the bird park and have a picnic! We've prepared our tuna mayo, with lots of freshly groud pepper and we'll be on our way tomorrow morning. The first show starts at 10:30am. We might head there by 11am, walk around and find a nice spot to eat our sarnie. Probably leave by 2 or 3. And I'd probably try to sit down at a coffee joint, sip my coffee and read the papers (it's really an activity that I truly like as I watch the world goes by). We will then go and watch a church play.

Anyhow. Today's was quite a sleepy day. We were so tired yesterday night after the night saffari. Tis was really too bad, cos we really did not visit the whole zoo. I hope that our Japanese guests do not have a bad impression cos we really did not get to vist the zoo and gawk at all the creatures there, in almost their natural habitat (they did a good job actually).

Woke up around 10am and had lunch with my parents at this erm, dunno what place in East coast. Then went to my sister's place where my parents will be bunking till around Sunday. Left there around 3pm and headed to our nice cozy Rail Mall (well, now that we don't stay at Hume, it's kind of not to near). Had kopi-o and spent 1 hour or so talking and reading the papers. That's when I thought of maybe doing a business in education?! And also concluded that I need to come up with some company-wide initiative as one of my goals for the next 1-2 years... kind of leaving a legacy and accomplish something, other than, erm, solving the daily problems. Also thinking of putting part of our savings into my company's Money Market Funds... well, at least the return, though not guaranteed, is better than the meagre interest on savings account. Maybe tis time to start buying USD too!

Borrowed a movie. Headed home and rested. Then we cooked one of our favourite dishes and one of the simplest... well, some pasta and tomatoes. Watched the movie and here we are now! I'm writing this blog and my wife is sleeping... Tis 1am. So I better go.
