I was very reluctant to go out but I know I have to because
- we run out of eggs for tonight fried rice
- need to transfer money ( from POSB to OCBC )
- somehow I know I need my tea today
- my lunch is important
- need to go library to return books
So, after I’ve
- done with the babyplus session
- mopped the floor
- done with laundry
- washed the war zone twice
- blogged about our dinner last night
I will usually go to NEA website to check out today weather, the 3 hours nowcase. Okay, PARTLY CLOUDY but the sky seemed dark. I left the house around 130pm and walked to the bus station, hoping it won’t rain today because I hanged my clothes along the corridor ( good sunlight ), before I board the bus, checked again and it still showed PARTLY CLOUDY, from 2pm-4pm!
I reached the mall, had my lunch, bought my eggs and went to OCBC Bank. It was merely an hour, I walked out from OCBC Bank and it was pouring !!! I took out my phone and checked the nowcast, SHOWER WITH THUNDERS, 3pm-5pm! WT… I was thinking, okay! That’s it! No point rushing home to clear the clothes, at most I wash them again…sigh…
I then went to
- library to return the books
- Old Chang Kee to buy curry puff, yam pie and crab meat
- Toast Box for my tea
- top up my new ezlink card
And left the mall about 345pm. The feeling was not good while walking back because I know I have to clear my damped clothes. Walking closer to my block and I still peeped… eh, how come my clothes are gone? I walked slightly faster…

It must be my best neighbour, Mrs. Neo ! Actually this is not the first time she helps me to keep my clothing when raining. While we were away to Taiwan for 8 days, she was the one who water my plants. Imagine the terrible weather in May, I thought I would see dead plants. We wanted to say goodbye before we departed but they were out, not because we want them to water our plants but Ben thought that we should always communicate with our neighbour. When we reached home after the trip and saw our plants were still alive, we knew it got to be Mrs. Neo. Not only that, my money tree pot always fell after some strong wind and how come I know Mrs. Neo picked it up for me? ahha… soil on the floor… Besides, the whole family like our pooches, whenever they pass by our house, they will stop by and and say HELLO to Smoochie and Twistie.
Lately, she found out that I am pregnant and she shared some of her stories with us. We also told her that we will be inviting them over for the full month celebration. We are just so lucky to have the Neo Family to be our neighbour ! 
Di, u are really lucky to have good neighbour. I am not that lucky…. My neighbour in my previous area, only makes us live in fear everyday, from borrowing money from us that takes so long to return with a obvious lie when borrowing money from us, strangers (yes, real stranger that makes people scared) keep knocking our door asking where are they constantly, and even in the middle of nite, me & my ang in our sleepwear recording statement with 2 police officers jus cos “strangers who claimed to know them” keep on knocking at our door at 1am in the morning! My ang is always worried when he travel cos I am alone at home, and I always jump when the doorbell rang…. gosh it’s horrible…..
Now at this new hse, i dun get to see my neighbour at all…. so I really wonder why I can’t hv good neighbour…. my friend is very close to her neighbour… i so envy…..
Just like me – i don’t like to close door. And make friends with them:)
I dun close my door most of the time too….. think their hours and our hours very different ba….. I think for 1 year plus liao, I only get to see them less than 5 times… LOL…..
Most of them scare of dust *duh* so close door.
