2 weeks came and gone, mum and papa came and gone...
the day they arrived, met them at auntie's house, had dinner and cake together cos it was also auntie's bdae the next day... helped them unpack and of course, my dear mother decided to bring the whole house and store to us, and the whole house looked like a tornado landed for a few days...
had the friday, mon and tues off... friday, took them to see homeworld, which of course made us all upset... thinking it would be so good if we could actually afford something similar... after that went to victoria's basement, and then back to auntie's house again, hung there for a little while before going to pick pongie up... saturday... pongie went for her ielts course, and we stayed at home till it was time to pick her, drove into the city, had a drive pass pongie's workplace, and the nice apartments and waterfront area, after that went for dinner in this malaysian restaurant near chinatown, yuck the food is sooo bad... thank goodness we went for lindt after... sunday... stayed at home to help mum prepare for dinner as we invited auntie and uncle over... needless to say, we were all quite stressed towards the end of the day, with the cooking, cleaning... monday... pongie's graduation... wore my new red dress, it was really hot that day though, thank goodness the ceremony did not go for that long... got doubly charged for the graduation photos, still waiting for my refund to date... everyone said pongie's graduation much better than mine, they even provided some finger food, champagne and drinks after the ceremony... went to myers after and bought a mixer, a red Sunbeam mixer... learnt to bake pandan cake... have baked 3 pandan cakes to date... still not quite successful yet, main issue is still the mushiness in the middle of the cake... also made curry puffs, needed to be spicier... tuesday... went to seven hills rsl for buffet, finally! according to everyone... it was alright, not as exciting as the first time we went though, the food was not as nice... I think the novelty has pretty much worn off... after the buffet, went over to auntie's house to hang out...
then it was back to work, karen's finally returned from long service leave, Sarah's found a job at Westmead similar to MRT, had to do a HV at Blacktown, DOH unit, everything was pretty much yucky in there, except for a huge LCD plasma screen in the lounge area... it's all about priorities I guess... oh and received the p/c letting me know that I did not get the TACP position... which means keep looking Andrea... worried about when Nov comes, when kevin leaves and Kirti comes, and when June approaches, I might not have a job... cross my fingers and toes, hoping that I can find a job before that time comes... submitted my leave application for 3 weeks off during chinese new year... it's been fairly busy atm, last friday was actually pretty shitty, thank goodness I had nice colleagues who helped out... baked a pandan cake for ren's bdae that day, but pretty much brought the whole cake back cos he had 3 other cakes, which was fine with me, cos I got to eat more cake...
saturday... stayed at home and did more baking, went out for dinner with auntie and uncle at Ribs and Rumps... it was expensive... sunday, did more baking again, and went to auntie's house for dinner... was looking up the internet for new shows cos it's pretty boring atm, found these movies which Mike He acted in, one with Ella and the other with Fiona Xie... downloaded the one with Ella, watched clips of the other movie, but comments were that the other movie was not great... I have to say, I could not recognise Mike He now, unsure if it was bcos of the new hairstyle or the fact that he has aged, or that he has put on some weight... pretty sure the last time I watched his show was Huan Huan Ai, and that was ages ago...
today, sent mum and papa off at the airport, don't feel as sad this time, probably cos they have been visiting quite frequently recently, and I am going back in Jan, and pongie's here, and potentially nainai is coming in Nov... went to see the GP again today, not good news, have to go see another specialist this time, and take iron and Vitamin D supplements, she was actually scaring me when she started talking abt having to do iron infusions... worried about the specialist review though, apparently I am insulin resistant... which is a risk factor of diabetes :( the issue is most of our diet is made up of mainly carbohydrates, and fats, and of course, sugar, and the fact that I eat little veg and fruits...
