Another quiet week. So got more time to relax and call up friends for chit chat.
For the delights:
- This week, Yulin covered Austria, after Italy. From the emails and sms received, can see that she is really enjoying herself.
- Met up with a friend for dinner at Dhoby Ghaut. Had a good update on each other’s well being. Thereafter, walked around the shops. Bought some cookies and tea leaves for mum - Mother’s Day gift.
- Celebrated Mother’s Day with all my siblings on 12/6, Saturday. Had lunch at the restaurant outlet at Blk 555 Ang Mo Kio. The tenant had rented the premises from my brother. Glad to see that mum was in good spirit.
- On 13/5, it was another round of pot luck makan at my mother-in-law’s place. Though she had to visit the toilet more frequently, can see that she was pleased that all of us got together.
Now for the woe. The maid who was supposed to keep my mum company ran away on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning, when they was still no news of her whereabouts, my sister reported police. Finally, learnt from the agent that she was at the house of the one who brought her to Singapore.
The reason she gave was she sensed that my mum did not like here. Still, we felt that she should have talked to us first. Well, no way we would take her back. It’s going to be maid hunting again. Sigh . . .
