Last week was a very productive weekend for me personally.
On Saturday, I woke up earlier to finish up painting the sealer for my toilets and part of my master bedroom.
Then the toilets were also washed and finally I got the repairmen to fix up my leaking tap! Looking at him doing the repair, I conclude that it may be beyond me to change my own basin tap as it’s not as easy as it seems.
He was using something like a metal tubing with holes around it and even had a spanner which was specially sawn shorter so that it can be used easily in confined spaces. Tools of his trade.
Uncle Ah Seng also very kindly drilled a hole on my wall so that I can hang up my clock and sprayed some WD40 on my window which wasn’t moving smoothly due to wear and tear.
So, 1st coat of sealer for moulding ceiling painted checked, toilet washed checked, leaking tap repair checked, hole in a wall drilled checked, Smooth window checked.
Wifey was pleased as a punch!
As Ah Seng took longer than expected to arrive and finished up the job, we couldn’t make it in time for Saturday service as originally intended. So we went to have our dinner instead at Seah Inn. As usual, wifey ate from her favourite fish Soup stall, and I had my Orh Luak as a reward for doing the household chores… plus a bowl of Yong Tau Foo.
After dinner, we went over to Vivo for a walk, intending to take some nice pictures using Priscilla’s Canon G15 but the deco this year seems a bit boring (like previous years’) so we didn’t take any. Ha.. then we went to Daiso, it was very crowded there as people are shopping for Christmas already.
I got quite tired after walking for a while so we went to St Marc for dessert before heading home.
Sunday service was special. There was no sermon being preached but Pastor Andrew Yeo led worship for the whole service. He also shared a testimony of hope, of how he and his went through a tough journey before finally having children. It was touching and authentic. Worship got even more intimate after his sharing and the tangible presence of the holy spirit was really moving in the auditorium
After service, we went to meet folks at Lido to catch Thor. Every November, Dad’s company will give out 4 free movie tickets as their yearly tradition so we took the opportunity to catch the movie together. Dad was zzzz after about 20mins. Ha-ha, guess he couldn’t really appreciate the show. After the movie, we went to grab a bite at Takashimaya basement before heading to M1.
We spent a whopping 3 hours waiting for dad’s turn to re-contract and he finally got the HTC Desire 601 at no cost at all as he has loyalty points which can be converted to $50 voucher. Personally, I felt that the phone is really impressive and value for money. Specs are good and looks classy too. It’s also quite user friendly… what more can one ask for?
We had our late dinner at ML market that night before retiring into the night, it was very fulfilling to have spent time with our parents just doing simple errands because they really need our help in certain matters, especially with regards to technology, health etc. I guess they appreciate the time spent together as much as me. Want to also thank wifey for waiting patiently together with us as it was really tiring.
** I really like HTC's tagline "Quietly Brilliant". Don't we all want to be quietly brilliant in all that we do? being modest despite having a spirit of excellence... that's the way to go ;o)
