All About The Memories

We are going to extend my sister’s visit pass this weeks. She was given thirty days by the immigration officer when she arrived here and she will stay a little over a week longer than that. Fortunately applying for extension is easy and can be done online. I don’t need icverify either, and I can pay using my debit card. We should know the result after office hours the next day. I’m so glad we don’t have to go all the way to the ICA office to do this. It’s a very busy place and quite far from our home. One of the reasons why I love modern technology.

In a few months the registration for new primary one students will commence and we will join other parents in registering our daughter to the school of our choice with hopes that we get accepted. There’s a lot of criteria involved in the process and at popular school where there are way more applicants than open slots for new students balloting are done. I’m sure all admin staff at the school work really hard so that there will be no errors and omissions or names and that everyone will be given an equal chance of getting accepted. I hope to enroll my daughter at the school in our neighborhood and I hope we don’t have to wait long before finding out the result of our registration.

My sister is looking forward to watching this movie when it finally hits theaters everywhere. I don’t know for me it’s one of those movies that will be nice if I can watch with hubby but it’s okay if we don’t. Since having kids we don’t get to go to movie dates anymore, before the baby was born our movie selection her animated films because of our daughter. It would be night to have a girl’s movie date with my sis though.

My dad called several times yesterday but I didn’t get to answer it. It was unfortunate because my eldest daughter was really looking forward to talking to him, she tells me how much she misses her grandpa and a fun conversation with him would have made her very happy. I don’t know when he will have the chance to call again, when they are at sea I don’t think he can use vontage phone service so I really have no clue when to expect a call from him. I hope that it’s soon, my little girl have lots of stories to tell.

My cousin recently bought a few medical uniform to use for her first day of work as a nurse at a local hospital back home. She was happy she got a good deal buying several pieces as she got the bulk purchase discount. Of course she is more excited to start working having waiting for the right job for two years, her first job was as a call centre but being a certified nurse is her dream and I’m happy that she gets to fulfill that dream finally. Patience is a virtue they say and I’m sure that all her waiting was worth it.

It’s great that my husband can come off work early on most weekdays. Taking care of two kids and keeping up with household chores is a lot of work and sometimes it leaves really exhausted at the end of the day so I love it when he comes home early and help out. He does have to work from home sometimes, he could be teleconferencing for an hour in the spare bedroom or maybe check his work emails over dinner. We do spend fun family nights together where we watch a movie or play a game so I’m not complaining.

I would love to have a craft room like the ones above. It’s great that everything has its place and everything is organized. I think anyone would be inspired to work in a space like this.

I’m not into sports or the great outdoors, I’m contented staying at home and reading books/magazines or watching my favorite shows. I thought I didn’t miss out a lot but now that I have kids I most certainly to my best to expose them to outdoor activities. I’m not gonna go out and buy half chaps right away for my girls but I would take the family out in the park to have picnics and ride bicycles. I know this would be something they will enjoy, as for me…if it will make my kids happy I’m more than willing to do anything. It should be fun.

My friend just got a casio cdp-100 for her daughter for her tenth birthday and she was very happy with it. She sings for our church choir so having a keyboard at home to play and practice gospel songs will be great for her. She thought about giving her daughter one when she turned seven but she decided she was still too young for it and she wanted to see if she will really take her lessons seriously before giving her such a big present. Her love for singing and playing the keyboard didn’t change so when she turned ten she got a really nice keyboard from her parents and I know she will have so much fun with it.

When I was in labor with my youngest child I wasn’t in a lot of pain at the beginning that I thought maybe I could do without epidural this time around, I thought about not asking for it and thought I can take the pain. Well I never got to find out if I indeed can take it all the way through because I chickened out and asked for the epidural when the nurses came to check on me. I got scared I guess that I would be in so much pain and that it would be too late to ask for the drugs by that time that I would be left with no choice but to endure it all. I got scared that I would have a c-section in the end because my body was too exhausted from the pain that I can’t even see the hospital computer carts nor have the energy to push the baby out. I don’t have any regrets, my beautiful child came after five hours of labor and though I had fever and chills for a few hours after the delivery we were both doing great by the morning. If we will be blessed to have another child in the future I think I will still choose to have an epidural.
