Thursday Is The New Friday

Ever since I started working part time, I started my weekend off on Fridays, therefore Thursdays is the new Friday for me.

For starters, I am not doing well physically. I have a bloated belly for about a few days with a lot of gas. Then those toxic gas probably has decided to move to my kidneys today, which caused me to have terrible backache. I can't walk properly or stand straight. I didn't visit my friend this morning and bring her lunch. I just can't get out of the house to travel on public transport. Looking after Chester was also very uncomfortable the whole morning, especially when he cries for me to carry him.

Things got better in the afternoon. Chester was a little fussy when I tried to tuck him to nap. He did sleep though, and I get to rest my back. After doing some work for Allan on the computer, I started napping. When Chester woke up from his nap, I got up too. I looked at the clock and it was 3.55pm! Wow! About 4 hours nap for him today. I was worried he couldn't sleep but thankfully, he did go to bed at 9pm. I just hope he doesn't wake up at 5am tomorrow morning.

We went to Sham Shui Po for dinner tonight with my in-laws. When you are homesick, everywhere seems to remind you of home. PRATAS STREET! Saw this street sign at Sham Shui Po.

Lobsters for dinner. Well, not just lobsters. There were other yummy Cantonese dishes too. I must admit I am always bias when it comes to food and think Singapore has the best food. I haven't been doing justice to the food here. Over the years, I have tasted some of the yummiest seafood, Peking Duck, Chinese cuisines, Japanese ramen and a lot more. The dishes were great this evening. Chester managed to sit through most of it and ate his dinner. I get to eat too while feeding him. I think it gets better each and every day. Bringing him out every time is a pain but somehow, it doesn't stop me even if I always tell people I just want to keep him at home. I still want to bring him out and make him adapt. As painful as it sounds, it does get a little bit better each time.

If you don't believe me, look at that face of his. He has started to take interest in playing with chopsticks at dinner table. These two little sticks help keep him occupy for a while, then the rest will be some little snacks, wet tissue, YOUTUBE on phone and occasional walk away from the dinner table and back to pull through dinner. Just no strangers for the time being around dinner table will be alright.

Of course Scarlett played with him too. 

The evening ended with crappy red bean soup dessert and watching this loving sister holding her little brother's hand, walking on the dodgy street to our car. It definitely does feel like Friday.
