Well, husband was off to Montenegro for a week (from 11th to 16th March ( I can just hear some of you saying "Huh? Where?"). It is on the Adriatic Sea right next to Bosnia, Croatia, and Yugoslavia. Apparently it is the latest place for European holidaying. Well, it took 24 hours for him to fly there (including 10 hours waiting at Frankfurt airport for a connecting flight), meetings on 13th and 14th, and then 24 hours to fly back - with the same waiting time in Frankfurt. Talk about TIRING!
Anyway, while he was there, I decided to head back to KL... no point hanging around SG without him - no fun at all! So, I had a peaceful week in KL - stayed with my parents for three days and stuffed myself silly with my Mum's great cooking - met some friends, vegged out, and generally ate too much! Phew, talk about "piling it on"... and NO exercise to counteract all that food either.....
Husband arrived back in SG on 17th, went to work on 18th morning, and drove up to KL on 18th afternoon. Spent Saturday wandering around 1-Utama with him, then he went to the F1 on Sunday. Drove back to SG on Monday afternoon... sigh... back again.
Since then, we have been spending some time looking around for little things to put into our apartment to brighten it up. We bought loads and loads of picture frames for husband to print out his photographs, frame them, and put them up on the walls (our landlord having left a million hooks/nails in every room for us to hang up things!) We also got cushions, a colourful carpet for the sitting room and a rug for the dining room, and another one for the study. A really fantastically priced 3+1+1 sofa set in maroon leather, and some colourful little knick-knacks. The place looks nice and welcoming now... all the better to welcome our friends WHEN you all turn up (just try not to turn up all at the same time!). Yesterday (26th March) we got everything pretty much into place and can now relax and enjoy the apartment.
Husband is still terribly, terribly busy, while I am still tai-tai'ing around (well, sort of!). I do have a part time maid who comes in once a week to vacuum, mop, do the bathrooms, and iron the clothes. If anyone here in SG wants a part time maid I would definitely recommend her. She helped us out the last time we were in SG, and she is helping us out again, and she is truly a lovely lady - very honest, very hardworking, and a genuinely nice person. I make sure the bills get paid, run the errands (bank, post office, grocery, etc), go for my hot yoga (ouch, stretch to the max!!), go for 1 hour walk/jog on those days that I don't do yoga, hop into town and go for a wander now and then, meet up with husband now and then for lunch, read books, do sudoku (yes, I am addicted now), and generally find enough to do to pass my time reasonably. Definitely cannot complain!
So, folks, that's the latest. We hope to see you all sometime this year in good ol' Sinjapoh - we should be here at least till end of this year.. no guarantees yet for next year.
Till next time... take care, and have a great life.
