to start with... went back to Jurong on Friday evening after visiting my Industrial attachment students and to continue to clear my things and as well as my mum's things (as earlier T n myself have dialogue) and come to a conclusion to leave some of the memories behind is best to have it rented it for the time being. I don't have to go over to Jurong so often if there is somebody looking after the house and this will lessen the impact of recalling the memories there. So there I got myself busy clearing lots of things....imagine 14 years worth of junk (my junk actually) to clear. Guess what? The curtains in the rooms... it was there hanging for 14 years.. I have taken them down now and they go direct into the rubbish chute. The house is like a place frozen in time for 14 years. [When my mum is alive there, I don't clear things there as I tried to prevent dust from flying around in the house as my mum's condition is very sensitive to the surroundings] My mother's things....so so painful to clear...but have to bite the bullet and do it once and for all. So I clear, clear and clear all the things but still a lot more to clear..
Saturday came and I down to CPF Tampines to close mum's CPF account (wah everywhere also ang, ang with CNY decor (Red, red, everywhere)...procedure is easy, cheesy..just produce death cert and own I/C but the cash will be in 2 months time. Told bro will hand over the money to him once received. Afternoon, attend children's birthday party at Curly n Spike, UE square...1st time there but Tiff was rather bored so we ate tea time at Delifrance...it was yum yum. It was a rather big portion so we share.. It was a rather slow moving, sleepy afternoon as we ate and watch the rain from where we seated inside at the Delifrance. Quite relaxing actually. Fel was having lots of fun at the birthday venue upstairs (Curly n Spike)..she was a princess for a day..Here is Princess Felicia..
Went back dead tired and slept from 5pm till 8 pm alomost forgotten about dinner till 9pm and start to look for food..call MacDelivery but told it has to be 1 hr arrival..WAT? Drive out to grab some food and "Ta Pau" back.
Sunday came, went to church as usual and you know wat? Fr Joseph (from the St Mary's of the Angels) gave the sermon...I told myself....the last time you came to our church was the day my mother was about to passed away..so wat now this time? I experience a sudden fright in me but it came and gone, Fast.. Anyway, it was just a thought that flashes across my mind and the sermon was beautiful. It was raining whole day so we went back to sleep for the most part of the day (my fav pastime besides running)...and later went to in-law's place for dinner.. we have crabs since for the very long time I can recall..yum, yum and we discuss piano shifting. Father-in-law also reminded us not to sell Jurong house (same advise as my mum when she was still very much alive)....so will take their advice and keep the house.
(P.S. ...if Felicia is a Princess...so that means I must be a King then? Rite?...he!he!)
Bye for now and Cheers!
God Bless!
