Bump into a Friend

18.1.13 - Today TH went outstation to collect CNY cookies and buy seafood items. So I was alone today but my schedule was tight too.  Had to go JW school in the morning to collect the $100 student aid from Government.  Made an effort to go earlier and bought 2 magnum ice cream for her and her good friend, Madeline. Was too early and waited in the car for a while until time's up. Met JW at the canteen.  She was happy with her friends.  They sat together at a specific area at the canteen.  While she was having her lunch, I proceeded to the small hall for briefing.  A politician from the Government introduced himself and asked us to vote for him in the upcoming election. Hmm, so political. Money politics in no good. After briefing, we adjourned to the classroom to collect cash.  In the hall, I met Tan Po Chin, a former colleague in BP.  We chatted throughout and in no time, we collected our cash.  By the way, I noticed that JW is likeable in class. Most of her good friends sat near her and she is indeed happy in class. At the moment, I am truly happy for her.

Since P. Chin has so much to share with me, we adjourned to Old Town Selayang for further chat.  We have so much in common, we both stay in Selayang Indah and our kids are in the same class, in the same tuition centre at Mega Maju and both of us share the same hope, that is for our kids to get into Wesley next year.

After being a home maker for so long, I always thought that a day out with friends over tea would be a blessing. But after tea today, I realized I wont want to do it again.  It was different from what I thought.  It was a social chat and I didnt really enjoy it.  Perhaps I am a Melancholy and I am what I am. I prefer a boring day with TH.  I am missing him now.

By the way, I read somewhere that in order to sit down and do nothing u have to be on top of the ladder of success. Meaning I should count my blessing that I am able to do that, because I am already on top. Gee, a sweet consolation to myself......
