On my off day..

As I'm working in a 5-day work job, we are being compensated one day off in lieu of National Day. Thus, I planned today as my off day.

Having seen that today is the start of Comex, and it being Thursday, I thought there would not be too many people. Boy was i wrong...It was still as crowded. How come all these don't have to work??

I arranged with my in-laws (I know my father-in-law is crazy over computer thingys), my mother to meet at Suntec. As my dad and I were going out of the house, it was drizzling a bit and Yitian saw us carrying our umbrellas and she,too, wanted to bring hers along..

No more domestic help!

We are back to having no domestic help. Sri did not like looking after children. She says she does not know how to handle Yitian. Even with us putting her and Yitian at my sister's place and with Mata helping. She says she prefers looking after old men, I presume elderly folks. It's defintely easier as you don't have to run around them, they don't have that high level of energy!

Well, Mr Kho and I were glad that we discovered it now rather than when our second one is born. The maid agency was quite efficient in handling the administrative part of it. Sri has officially been transferred and we have gotten our refund back.

Not to worry, I can manage. When Mr kho and I sat down and talked about it, we realised that at this point in time, we may not be suitable to have a maid. We prefer to do things ourselves. And like I mentioned before, it's a weird feeling to have someone who you totally don't know staying with you. So i guess, this chapther in our lives is closed, At least we did try out.

Shopping with Mickey & Minnie Mouse!

Went to Giant Parkway Parade for some grocery shopping.

Yitian was getting a bit restless, thus enlisted the help of Mickey & Minnie to help keep her entertained. It worked!
