1. This morning, Jenny had to wake me up ! I actually overslept despite my alarm clock's ringing. Had to leave the house without a morning shower ! Luckily, no appointment in the morning :-) Still managed to get the kids to school in time though ^_^ Met big sis in school and had a good short chat too.
2. Felt good after a quick shower and changed into my white Esprit skirt-jumper. Always felt younger when in this favourite skirt-jumper of mine, kind of lifts up my spirit. Yeh ! Had a good yummy breakfast of fresh frog porridge.
3. Went for a swim in the evening, this time with many many laps and for the first time, swam non-stop round the pool instead of straight laps till exhaustion set in ! Felt really good ^_^
4. In the late evening, hang out with Pauline and another friend at the Sri Petaling pasar malam for dinner and some marketing too. A light evening in good company :-)

1. It's Monday and the first day of school after 2 weeks holiday break ! Dash came into my room at 6 am and crying away, complained of chest pain and faster than usual heart beats. Got him to see the usual child specialist after sending the other kids to school. Dr Kanchana ordered an X-ray and the result, nothing is wrong ! Phew ! Dash got his mc and was sent back to school. The doctor gave me some pointers on how to deal with the next similar complain. Learnt a new technigue today :-)
2. Managed to get the tenant to pay the balance of deposit and this month's rental albeit a shortage of RM100 which she has promised to bank in for me. With that, went to the wet market and bought some vegetables and fruits for the week :-)
3. Got to a client's office in time to meet the ED, electrician and landlord, issued payments due. Done in a jiffy and everybody is happy.
4. Lunch was on Connie, in "exchange" for some personal tax review work for both Bea and herself. Ha ha :-)

1. Productive day at work. Visited HEI's office for the first time, settled some payment and budget issues with client. Received some files for audit from another client. Signed a service contract with an NGO client for a year which will help pay my car installments for the year.

1. It's the first day of June and this month is set to be a month made in heaven (according to Lillian Too ...) for female roosters !
2. Managed to gobble a big mug of green juice made up of green apple, celery & bittergourd. Felt my instestines being cleansed after my morning bowel movements before my swim.
3. This morning's swim was great. Crystal clear water, the pool is not crowded at all and the sun just starting to warm the water. Hmm.... had many good laps, non-stop, to make up for the over-eating over the last few days! The boys had a good time too, watching cartoon in Pauline's place and took their brunch there while I swam. Thanked Pauline and Dennis for baby-sitting my boys ^_^
4. The kids went for their swimming lesson, both boys seem to be very disciplined and enjoyed their lesson for the day... freestyle, side kick, dolphin and underwater :-)
