I am having a very relaxing weekend. I spent the whole of Sat morning in school. Sometimes, I hate having to come back to school on Sats cos it means less of a weekend, and having to wake up early on a Sat morning. But sometimes, going back to school on Sat mornings can be a good thing cos the school is virtually empty (except for my band practicing) and I get to do so many things, work which cannot be completed in the course of the week, or just preparing for future work due. And the Sat that just passed was one of those Saturdays. I managed to get so many admin out of the way, and then some of my kids came back for extra lessons with me. It's nice to be able to give them one to one attention cos I can do so many things with them.

Then I had a nap in the afternoon and met the girls, Wendy and Angela for dinner and drinks. It has been a while since the three of us met cos it's hard for Wendy to get out now that she's married and all.And we are all really busy so this was one of the rare times all three of us were free. We had dinner by the garden at Chijmes, had seafood pizza and calamari fritters. Updated each other on gossips, and happenings in our lives. We did a little bit of shopping and then went for drinks, brownies and churros at a bar at the Esplanade. Took some pictures with the girls. Cant even remember the last time we took pictures together, probably last year during Angela's bday. That was more than a year ago.

It was a lot of fun. A lot of laughing, gossipping, talking, and more laughing. It's nice to meet up close friends, and just have fun. :)

And today, I have the whole house to myself cos everyone's out. And I woke up late, had a decadent breakfast of chocolate cake, then did a whole array of housework before I started on my last set of exam papers. And then spent the rest of the afternoon just surfing. Totally no-brainer day and I love it.

So to end this blog entry, I am going to blog down three things that made me very happy this weekend, aside from all that I have talked about above:
1. Reading a damn good book on child prostitution in India. Heart wrenching. I just inhaled the whole book at one go.
2. Reading a positive article on long distance relationship in the Sunday Times today. Gives me hope. :)
3. Completing my exam papers.

So there you go. Simple pleasures in life which puts a smile on my face.:) And before I go, here are the pictures we took yesterday.:)

Wendy found a way of taking the pictures to make us look leggy and thin! :)

Short week coming up. I can't wait!
