      Me time spent pruning and potting new cuttings. Bought some flowers for the bedroom. :love:


      Re Michelle Chong's rant on Singaporeans not taking pride in their work, I think that is really a broad sweep of the brush. Without knowing the background to her rant... There will always be individuals who are not interested in their jobs. Sometimes job pressure gets in the way. It is true that you have a higher chance of getting better service and quality when you pay more. Peak periods or hours are always hard in everyone.

      And there will always be bad apples. Let's not be so negative.

        There is no bad jobs but unpleasant colleagues


        I decided NOT to remain in ofc to do the cleaning after working hours

        I guess the extra stress is affecting me as I woke up 2.30am and found challenging to return to sleep before the alarm rang at 5.30am

        ME time now …

          the weather is so ridiculously hot and humid...yet the person who planned the hike still went ahead yesterday :rant: bird brain :mad:

          daughter took 2 paracetamol within 6 hours during the hike and came home to take another one after dinner. i kept her at home today as she is unwell.

            Singapore is mostly either hot and humid or raining. Raining of course not advisable to hike. So that leaves hot and humid and if very very lucky, nice cool balmy which is very seldom. If hot and humid also cannot then no need to do any such outdoor activities already.


            Your girl most probably did not hydrate enough. How long was the hike?

                  Hike over lunch time or the whole event from start to end is 10am-2pm? Where was the hike done?

                  I actually appreciate if schools organise such stuff. Maybe because I do a lot of such activities, I know the effort and the responsibility that goes into it.

                  I will try to understand that it takes time to gather everyone, travel to the location, organise all of them, brief on safety aspects, etc. Then when the main event is over, there is also the closing of the event, then the travel back to school before all are dismissed.

                  Maybe I am also cuckoo one loh. I do bring kiddos for hikes at like 10-11am. Cos leave house at about 9+ after breakfast. Reach whatever place we want to explore about 10 to begin hike. Finish about 12+pm then hunt for food. Either that or we do 3pm - about 6pm timing, followed by dinner. And that was when kiddos were much younger. Most of the hiking trails are shaded so we find that it's not so bad.

                    Depending on where you hike, ie, the organizer can always choose a more shady trail.

                        i don't think there are any other feasible time slots for a school outing like this.
