    Hi Akhila, Shara, Chitra - How are you all doing?

    Hi IndianLady - Sorry to hear that. Hope your kid feels better soon.

    Hi Sonali - You are one of those lucky people to sleep for that long.
    Glad to know that you relaxed well on your weekend.

    I didn't do anything on Monday. After my 13 hr work I felt so tired and slept after eating Dinner.

    I was able to read one book to DD.

    During my lunch break I went to shopping (looking for some nice curtains) and didn't buy anything. That made me more tired.

    That's all.

    Hope all is well.

    Hi Priya,

    Am good, it was a long weekend, was a bit busy so didn't get time to update here. Hope you are feeling better today. Yes, I understand when you say that not buying a thing after looking around for it makes you tired... happens to me too :)


    Hi Sonali,

    Seems like you had a great sunday with sleep - cook - eat - sleep routine!! It would have been even better if there was no cooking involved at all.... someday I would love to do a sleep - eat - sleep for one day :) enjoy dear!!

    IndianLady,

    Hope your child is well now. Take care.

    My update:

    Saturday:
    My kids performed karagattam at the Singapore Heritage Fest. It was a cute performance of kids doing various forms of Indian folk style dances. The age group was 5 to 10 and the all the children were so cute and the performance was lively. My children enjoyed putting on the makeup and were lovely on stage. I for one can never go on stage and face people. I am glad my kids are getting early exposure and they can overcome their shyness and stage fright soon.

    After the performance, my DH and I went to meeting and my MIL and kids went home. Here I have to say, I was so ill-informed about the event we were going. I had presumed that it was about environmental seminar and what we found was a set-up where they were trying to persuade us to invest in some obscure tree that is supposed to produce expensive oil :spin

    I was the person who got the call and without making proper inquiry I agreed to go and asked my DH to tag along. But he was a good sport and we enjoyed all the blah blah of how profitable it could be for us, but we politely declined and escaped from therebie1

    Sunday

    Again had the same performance but at a different location. After the performance went to the west coast park with a friend's family. All the kids had a great time and we all too had a nice time catching up and chatting. Got home late at night.

    Monday

    Got up late. Did a bit of cleaning, laundry, cooked veg biriyani, helped dd to clean up her bookshelf and do homework. Applied hair pack for the kids and myself and had refreshing long bath :)

    In the evening, took younger DD to cut her hair. She had been wanting to cut her hair but was waiting for the performance to get over. she had hair until her hips, now she has chopped it off to just below shoulder. She looks very pretty now :) MIL was slightly opposed to the idea, but after seeing dd jumping about happily and shaking her head until she is dizzy, MIL too is happy about it :)

    I am ok with long or short hair. It doesn't seem like a chore to me to plait their hair in the morning (both had hip length hair) for school. But I am happy she has her mane trimmed off. The elder one still is happy with her long hair, and so am I :)

    Hi Akhila - Very nice to hear that your Daughters performed at the Sigapore Fest. You must be very excited to see them on stage.

    I know about those marketing calls I hate it when they chew us out. I had once been to a time sharing meeting and it went on and on for like 2 hrs.

    I love long hair. I never had long hair may be tats the reason that I like long hair :)

    Good to read your updates. Nice that you are making effort to put hair packs on you and DD. I should do that.

    Hi Sonali - Nice to read your updates. Good that you completed your Pooja. Which movie did you watch? I am also telugu.

    My Updates:

    Today I came back from work at 7pm. After I came home I watered the plants we already have leftovers so no need to cook today.

    I went to a fabric shop got some lace and fabric - plan is to sttch some pillow covers, add some lace at the end of my curtains.

    I started a lot of projects that I need to finish before I start anything new.


    After coming back from the store ate Dinner and off to Bed.
