Well, whatever happened to my resolve of blogging regularly? Just like all my good intentions they never see the light of day. Anyways.., Still can't decide whether I like it here. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I hate the commute - I don't know why we decided staying 15 minutes walking distance from the MRT station was a good idea - I hate it esp. when I have to walk in the hot sun. Evening is a bit better because you have the breeze. Office is fun though. In the space of 5 months, we have managed to get 2 complaints against our 'noise' level. Yours truly is one of the main culprits. I cannot speak softly like a lady to save my life. Either I am squealing or laughing or beating up the one junior T-da and I have marked for bullying. Work wise, I am scraping through. I am doing what I am best at - nagging kids to complete their tasks and being what one kids call an 'editor' because I love correcting and reformatting their answers. I have picked up another hobby - stuffed felt toys and I am enjoying it. The dressmaking class starts next month and I can't wait to design my own clothes. I need to buy a sewing machine. I have also resumed baking - we just have a convectional oven. The first time I nearly burned my cookies to death because I am stupid enough not to figure out that the temperature in the recipe for conventional oven needs to be adjusted for convectional ovens. I baked three cakes in a row for the elf's birthday. Back home, we are having a house constructed. That is keeping DNA occupied - I heard she is terrorizing all the workers, supervising them to death. Hopefully, we would have it ready by December in time for Tamo's wedding. This house was Baba's dream - I am sad he could not see it come true. Apart from that, there is nothing much. I am toying with the idea of writing a book - as if anyone would pay to read the crap I write. But just to feed my ego. It would be a miracle if I can write one and a even bigger miracle if I get it published. Let's see. And why do friends drift away?
