"Sian" is the word of the day

You ever feel "Sian" i cant think of a word in english that can convey the right emotion that goes with being "sian", the blues? downer? thats how i feel now "Sian".(if you have another word i would love to know)
So here is another photo-less post. When i get home at night i am really to tired to post any pics and until i leave Bukit Timah and go back to my safe haven of Sengkang i doubt i will be doing much in the way of uploading pics from work.
We went to the Doctors over the weekend for TLOML's regular check up all is well though the little one is not so little anymore! On saturday i went to my mums place to hang out with the kiddos from oz, along with the machado kids we went to the playground and played then we went to the park and played somemore!
On Sunday a lovely outing to the zoo was organized by TLOML and i was very suprised when i got out of the car and there was the DOO awaiting our arrival, with a bag of lovely sandwiches.
Philip, Phil Jr (megan and michael were sick) turned up as well along with Eileen(sis in law) Becky, Edwin(godson) and Gabriel our cousin. SO all in a nice morning of animals and kids.
Thats roughly what happened over the weekend, and now i am back in bukit timah...sigh and sunday seems oh so long ago. The one saving grace at the moment is that i have a couple of books to read and am reading 4 books concurrently, Winstons War a trashy yet exciting book on the pre war days, another book on the ten years prior to ww2 focusing on churchil's life also a book by a birtish tv journo on reporting in general but mainly of his time in afgahnistan, i also just finished two books bravo20 and a biography of frank sinatra. Except for the bravo book the rest were purchased at the book fair recently. I have different books for different moods, one for the bus, one for lunch time, one for the bed and dont really like to sleep without reading a page or two at least. When i have nothing new to read i tend to go back to old favourites like old copies of national geographic sometimes i awake to find myself surrounded by yellow bordered magazines....
its 1330 now and i have another 5hrs here today....sigh....


i almost forgot my disclaimer. IF you should find any typos please refer www.idonotcare.com a site for the many things in the world I DO NOT CARE for. :) havbe a nice day

Well, thats how I feel too, except it comes with some sadness too. Family outings are such fun. Id love to do stuff like picnic and go to the zoo and take some pictures.. because there's only so much we can do in Singapore other than feasting on cheap hawker food, lol.
