Busy day..WOW!

Woke up as usual at 5 plus am. It is the same time I wake up when I am in Singapore to go school. But it is different now. I used to wake up and rush to school to prepare for the day's work and do any last minute of preparation or printing. Now, I wake up and 'rush' to wash up to prepare breakfast and lunch for my husband. Though the environment and stress is different, one thing is the same. That is, I am always here to serve even if I am in Singapore or in US- my students or my husband.

If you ask me which is tougher..well, I would say they each have their difficulties and rewards. I always love to find satisfaction in all that I do so that I enjoy whatever I do. I think a lot of people esp my colleagues all envy me for having such a good life here now--having not to work. But I feel, the grass is always greener on the other side and humans are never satisfied-they always want a better life etc.. But trust me, wherever we are, there are always obstacles/difficulties and complains. It is not easy doing nothing...and living a totally different lifestyle now from the usual Singaporean pace of work. It is tough. But I have no complains as wherever I am,I want to enjoy all that I can...because if I am always going to have the mindset that the grass is greener on the other side, I will def be a very unhappy person. I once heard 93.8 FM radio station DJ said that the most unhappy person would be someone who compares.. Hmm..food for thought.

Anyway, this afternoon, I went out with Angeline and Gek Teng (colleague's wives).Before we met, Gek Teng came over to my place to chit chat and I introduced some online computer games to her so that she can play when she uses the computer. She looked so happy. We met and had lunch immediately. I ordered a hotdog which was huge and thick. Could not finish, so I took away to eat for dinner. After lunch, we walked around and I did some shopping-a T-shirt and huge looking strawberries. Went to a bookshop as well. Quite a big place with seats to sit while reading.

Went home at late afternoon. Talked a while at Angeline's place and Gek Teng's place.Got to know Angeline better. Had a good time. Now, me and Gek Teng quite close and we both chat over the internet when we are at our own place. Ha..

Had a great time with the wives. After that, CT came home and took me to a Chinese Restaurant called "Wan Fu". The lady boss is a Hongkonger. We took away as it is better-no need to pay tax. Take a look at the Yong Chow fried rice I ordered. This is one order and they gave so much. So the order can be for 2 people. About 5 US which is cheap for 2 people. The fried rice is quite nice with char siew and prawns. They sell a lot of varieties of food. Even have roast duck. Thought of my mum as she likes to buy the duck and bring home to eat in front of TV. Mum: We will do that when u come ok?? Cannot wait!

After taking away the food, I went to Walmart to collect my photos which I sent for printing there and did some grocery shopping. Did not buy much as I still have food back home and need to clear a bit before my parents come as I am sure they will like to buy some groceries.. :)

Went back home at 740pm. Starving! Had fried rice and watched American Idol which started at 8pm. So happy that my favourite is not out yet.

Ok..going to watch my chinese kungfu show now. Ciao!
