8 Weeks Post 60DWCC - Long Live Our New Found Hobby

So another week has flew by, what's all the time gone to? For us, we spent quite a bit of time pursuing our new found hobby - playing slot machines. Online.

While it does suck up our precious time, THL and I find that the game is exhilarating, especially when you get a huge BIG WIN prompt. :)

Day 110 - Saturday

The day was spent going out with THL's family. We visited Changi City Point as well as getting some stuff from some of the exhibitions at Singapore Expo. We all had lunch at the Prawn Noodle restaurant.

As we have an appointment with a long time friend of mine, the 3 of us left early and took a train down to Pasir Panjang Station. We had our dinner at Pasir Panjang Food Centre and as usual, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves devouring the satay, BBQ wings and Zi Char foods that we ordered. My friend gave us a lift home after that. What a sweet and kind gesture from him! :)

We spent the evening watching some boring TV shows while playing our beloved Slots Paradise games.

Day 111 - Sunday

RK and I left for a jog to Chinese Garden early in the morning. We went home just in time to eat breakfast prepared by our beloved THL. :)

We set out to Jurong Point after our lunch at one of the nearby coffeeshop. We bought some stuff some Popular, Robinson and NTUC. We later had a little bit of dessert at Durian Empire.

In the evening time, we had fruits for dinner and THL cooked noodle for RK. Watch the funny yet exciting Hangover III DVD with THL while playing Slots Paradise.

Day 112 - 116 ~ Monday to Friday

We got our air conditioner serviced on Tuesday as it is no longer blowing out any cold air and with the weather getting warmer everyday, it is therefore a top priority to have the air-conditioner fixed.

On Thursday, our stupid son RK spun his head endlessly at one of the playground after our session of soccer and freebies. And guess what happened after that, he was so dizzy he has to go to bed early after dinner. Serve him right for performing such act of stupidity. LOL!

On Friday, I got another complaint against RK from his Chinese teacher. RK has not been doing his corrections and homework given to him for a few weeks hence the teacher got no choice but to call the parent. I gave RK a big piece of my mind when he came back home in the afternoon. I also made him finish up all the outstanding homework and corrections.

Friday evening, we meet up with my parents and had dinner at IMM. We ate at one of the recently shrunken Taiwanese restaurant. The food is average but the price is slightly above average.

Transport Expenses:

Like I mentioned last week, I will only be updating the transport expense at the end of each month now. March just ended and the figures are out. We spent around $140 in terms of transport expenses for the month of March.

Weekly AfterThoughts:

The long awaited news regarding the adjustment to COE premiums, loan terms and interest rates have not been favorable hence we will just have to hang on and continue our now more than 60 days without car challenge. :D

7 Weeks Post 60DWCC - A Super Busy Week!

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, RK's one week holiday is over and I did not realize the impact of having him around the house for an entire week until I started planning my work on the next week. OMG! I was pretty much unproductive this whole week (with RK lurking around in the house) and I have only completed a very small portion of my project work. It looks like the week ahead is going to be tough as I will have to speed up and make up for the loss time.

Day 103 - Saturday

The 3 of us went out to the food market at Jurong East for breakfast and we took a bus to IMM after that. The intent for going to IMM is to get another standing fan for the house in preparation for the hot and humid summer days that is coming our way. Sometimes I wonder if what would have happen to people like us living in Asia had the man who invented air-conditioner & fridge failed to invent them after all. Would we be submerging ourselves inside the water a.k.a swimming pools all day long during hot summer days? :D

After a quick lunch at the foodcourt at IMM, we took a bus back home. I managed to get some work done in the afternoon after we washed up.

Today also marks the day the 3 of us started playing Slots Paradise - another app game from within Facebook. The game was easy to play, the leveling up was quick and the graphic for the bonus games look great. Will THL and I get hooked and play this game everyday? Time will tell. Let's see. I must say it has a really close similarity to those slot machines inside casinos.

Day 104 - Sunday

After breakfast, the 3 of us went for a morning stroll at a nearby canal early in the morning. This is the first time the 3 of us have ever gone for a morning walk and RK really did enjoy himself. He even tried out all the exercise equipment from the exercise corner. We went back home around 930am as it became hotter.

After our lunch (prepared by THL), we watch quite a few series of Heels to Wheels on M1Box. They even have a website at http://www.heels2wheels.tv/. The variety show features the visiting of various interesting spots in Taiwan. I manage to do a bit of work in the late afternoon with RK watching his favorite TV show.

I went for a run in the evening and had something light for dinner. I have lost about 4 kg some far since selling away our SUV and I have decided to keep at it. Another 8 KG to go and I would have hit my ideal weight. 加油!

Day 105 - 109 ~ Monday to Friday

The entire week was mostly spent catching up with my project work although I still managed to leave aside sometime to spent with RK. Coaching and managing RK's school work has inevitably consumed a huge chunk of my time during weekday afternoons.

We have most of our dinner at home during the weekdays with the exception of Friday which we went out to Westgate for dinner. We visited the Westgate Wonderland at Westgate and RK had a great time there, sweating himself out like nobody's business.

THL and I have started to spend more and more time play Slots Paradise and now even RK is using his own Facebook account to play the game. I think it is a healthy game so long it does not involve financial spending of any kind.

Transport Expenses:

Instead of hours collating the detailed transport expenses on a daily basis, I have decided to just announce the monthly expenditure on transportation on a month by month basis. I will be showing the figures for March in next week's update.

Weekly Afterthoughts:

This week have been tedious in the sense that I have had lots of work to catch up. I did manage to finish up what I needed to finish and still have spare time to spend with RK and our new found hobby - Playing Slots Paradise. LOL!

These days, expenses on transportation are at a minimum and hence I have decided not to spent the extra hours trying to tabulate every single cents spent. Unless there is an abnormally huge expenses, I will only share the figures once a month i.e. the last week of every month.
