A Beautiful Day

It is a beautiful day today-sunny, warm, with light breeze. The space along the way to school looks especially beautiful today against the azure blue sky.

Video Call home
I video called home twice within a span of 12 hours, haha. When I called last night at 10pm (10am in SG), Taiqi and Ah gui were still in the park. After they came back, Ah gui fed Taiqi and praised her for improvising a bucket and a spade as cooking utensils and crockery (she even put mini toy fish into the 'wok'). It was quite amazing that when I video called again at 9am today, a toy cooking stove complete with an oven had appeared in the home! Dajie, indulging Taiqi as usual, had bought it for her earlier in the day. It was sponsored by Ah gong with his lottery money. Taiqi is so adorable, calling me 'jeh jeh' over the video and had wanted to feed me with her 'cooking'! Of course, Joey would say that I would be in a totally different frame of mind once I go back, haha! Joey was mopping the floor and erjie just came back. It was another ordinarily happy saturday at home.

CLS client
I met up with my client for the first time. I have called her the 'vacuum cleaner' client in my mind to distinguish her from the other client, which also has a consumer protection problem. VC client is a neat, nice-mannered and very polite lady. And for some reason I think she reminds me of Mrs morrison, probably because I guess she was from Spain.
She was roped in by her friend in a pyramid selling or a similar scheme. It is really unfortunate that people run into legal problems out of encounters with friends who do not have their best interest at heart. And the worst thing is that it is so easy to fall into this trap under the persuasive power of a hardcore salesman. I felt for VC client because all she had wanted to do was to sell those machines to make some money to supplement her dwindling income during a certain down period of the year. It is quite despicable for those people not to let her pull out after she realised the insensible way the whole thing operates.
I hope to get down to doing the memo next week soon.

Groceries and good samaritans
Did groceries for the second time at Value Mart at Richmond Oxford. On the way back, met Gustav who was on his way to the recreation centre. He was so funny when he said that he need to go to the gym to feel that he is 'still alive' from all the work...haha...He helped me carry half of the bulging bags that I was carrying. Apparently I looked quite overwhelmed with all the bags (I was trying very hard not to) because one of three girls I met at the London Hall door offered to help me hold the doors and subsequently her friends offered to help me carry some of the bags to the lift. Such good-spirited people! They stay on the 4th floor. I wish they stay on the 5th so that we can know each other more, haha!


Last Thoughts
Went for a relaxing swim just now and feeling good now! Anways, I should try to finish up my remoteness presentation real soon so that I have time for everything else. But since I'm going for dinner with the SaW members later, I figure that I'd not do much later today. Yay, hotpot!
