Tis monsoon season in the tropics!!! Good morning and how's everyone? We've sort of entered the monsoon period, lots of periodic heavy rain with lightning and thunder, the whole spectacular works (either in the morning or afternoon). It's pretty good for us, keeps the temperature down in the high 20s!!!
A big thank you to Uncle Steve, William, Gemma and Clive from Claire for the card and disc! Dan the man has seconded the disc and it has become his!! Big hugs too to Grandma and Granddad from Claire for their card too.......as you can see, my overly excited daughter has opened all her cards early! Anyway, we'll probably take them to the zoo tomorrow for an early breakfast with the animals thingy! Nic has left their birthdays up to me this year and so after last year's small-do, I've sort of, to say the least, gone overboard this year. Have organised a joint birthday party for them next Sat (4th Dec) at my mum's home (much to her dismay hah) with bouncy castles, balloons, games, food etc for 20 kids and 30 adults.....do you think that's an overkill??? ....NOT....... hahah....anyway, this should fine-tune my organisational skills so that when I open my PR company, I should be able to handle the big clients like Microsoft and Coca-Cola! ;P
Sorry, if I'm going on a bit......on antibiotics and painkillers at the moment. Have a large abccess on the upper palate of the mouth...too much talking I suppose. Oral surgeon aka Uncle Raymond says it's NOTHING.......'should go down'...what does he know about pain! Doctor asked if I've eaten crabs (tick that....ate chilli crabs last Saturday), prawns (tick that...had butter prawns as well) or any 'hard' (????) things (ditto....had Indian 'hard thing' dessert last week)....doctor thinks that I've punctured the palate and it's gotten infected!! Anyway, should heal....so I'll let my fingers do the talking!
Things have been busy over here, Nic with the job proposals and me with the grant exercises and conferences. Will be taking the kids on a family holiday mid-December. We'll be going with my mum and dad, Li and her two kids, my aunty Ah Hia and Mary. This time, we'll go to Penang for about 4 days......should be fun seeing Daniel on the beach for the first time! Unfortunately, Nic and Koon Hou won't be going. Too much work for Nic plus no leave, and Koon Hou has gone into private practice. He's opened a heart clinic so I should be able to get my MCs from him!
Well, got to go and have lunch now.....will 'drop in' over the weekend!
