Yesterday was a hectic day for me. In the morning, I had called the Pos Laju postman to come and collect my customers’ parcels and the postman turned up really early yesterday. I was busy packing the bag to go out when the intercom phone rang. The guard told me that the postman was downstairs. Holy sh*t, like a headless chicken, I quickly summoned by 3 girls to help me with the big bag of parcels as the parcels were all not ready to be sent out yet.
My 3 girls quickly came to muumy’s rescue, with me shouting away, directing them what to do — Alycia to tear the paper off the stickers and stick the dockets onto the flyer bags. Sherilyn to help me separate the consignment notes and Baby to help me throw the papers away. That’s one of the moments I was thankful to have 3 girls!! I also had to seal a few more parcels — last minute ones as I had to rush out everything so that my customers could get their parcels before CNY. When the postman arrived, we were still busy working. The postman had to stand outside the door for 15 minutes and watched us work like some factory workers rushing to meet an important deadline. Phew, I could feel my migrane knocking on my head as I worked LOL!!
After we were done with the parcels, I quickly prepared my girls for a bloggers’ gathering at Kids’ Zone @ Hartamas Shopping Centre. The main purpose of the gathering was to meet up Chew Lee who had just come back from Germany for a few weeks. Can you recognize who’s who here?
After the gathering, we had lunch at Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant. And then we had Moo Moo Cow natural yoghurt for dessert.
After desserts, we went to Mercato to shop for some groceries. As we were about to leave the mall, we saw the Lion Dance troop outside the mall. There was a spectacular dance by a ‘pien mien’ Chinese dancer. A pien mien dancer can change its face color at lightning speed throughout the dance by tapping on a special device which changes the face mask. It was the first time I saw a life ‘pien mien’ dancer perform. After the pien mien dance, there was a breathtaking lion dance performance where we saw the ‘lion’ jumped up the poles to dance on the poles.
Baby screamed when she saw the pien mien dancer. Behind the ‘pien mien’ hideous looking dunno man / woman, when the multi-tiered mask was removed, everyone’s jaw dropped. She has such a beautiful face, svelte figure, fair skin, perfect pearly whites and long curly hair!
We reached home at about 4ish pm and some close family friends came to visit us. Later, we went out for dinner with our friends. What a tiring day it was for us all yesterday. And while my little ones were in slumberland at night, I still had to slog in front of my PC to clear my work and trying to force my eyes to open up.
