When you have time on your hands...

My confinement period is almost up and I'm planning on a food rampage. I miss laksa and I miss ice-cream. And of course I miss a nice ice cold fizz. Yum...

After my confinement, I would still have about 4 weeks of leave. I'm already thinking of the options I have to utilise them. The options are of course limited to breast-feeding friendly places since I will have Lyra dangling off my boobs. But I realised (actually I realised this many years ago), I'm really a bore. I have absolutely no idea where and what I can do when I have free time.

Just yesterday, Ms Sui asked me what I would do if I have 3 hours of free time... I gave it really a hard think... and then I told her roller-blading and hanging out at some alfresco dining with a good book. I was actually just trying to be clever and 'hip'. Well, at least they seemed like hippy ideas.

But seriously, I wouldn't do that. Imagine, I would have to travel to East Coast and then blade around like a lonely idiot! Pigging out at some buffet seems not too bad, but food just don't taste half as good alone. So I don't think I would do what I suggested at all. Mostly likely, I would stick around at home, staring at my PC, hoping for some work emails so that I can be kept occupied. Yes,... I lead quite a pathetic life.

I'm still raking for ideas so if you have some, do let me know. Do bear in mind about my 'boob-extension' though. ;)

time passed by very fast. i thot that half a year at home would have given me sufficient time to explore all of s'pore and do things i like. fact is, s'pore is a boring place. anyway, in the end, i used up whatever time i had left by doing thing that make me happy:
1) washing, cutting and treating my hair in a salon ( i used to go for $10 cut at qb house)
2)went to tony romas with my son for cheesy potato skins, ribs and choc avalanche (yum!) on a weekday. he was happy and so was i :)
3) went to tiong bahru and imm, places i would never go myself, with a fren. turns out to be very fun exploring interesting shops and eateries.
i guess the key thing is to do things that are new and interesting to you. live life fully!

I do live life fully; just a full boring life. Ha ha... I think when I'm alone, I just get lazy and do the easiest, which is eat, sleep, shit and watch some TV. These are very precious cos on normal days I have to rush through the eat and shit and TV and sleep are both interrupted. :P
