In A Flash
The school holidays are passing in a blur of children, outings and tuition classes. JCC's been busier than usual, what with the kids here for half the day (literally half of the day - 12 hours) and the preparing for next year's intake and the organizing the outings on top of the cooking daily. There was even a period of 2 weeks where my staff was on leave and I had to run JCC on my own from opening to closing (again, it's 12 hours).
Whoever the hell who is not a business owner trying to run a business by themselves, and who says their job is to bao sua bao hai (cover mountain cover sea) (a hokkien term for having to do everything) can go fuck themselves.
Weather's been unpredictable, but so far on all our outings it's been good luck so far. Let's hope the skies will clear up later on today and let us maintain our lucky streak.
We're going to the Kids' Kampong today! Apparently there's longkang fishing (squatting next to a small drain with a small net and a bucket to catch the fishes inside) and animal feeding. My friend Tommy's going too, and his kids are going in at my expense. I'm actually more than happy to pay for them, but apparently I need to pay for the maid's entry too. Bummer.
Makes one wonder exactly how many families cannot handle their own children and needs the maid to follow them everywhere.
Aaaaanyway, I watched The Hobbit with the boyfriend yesterday. Movie was supposed to be good, but the Cathay cinema at Causeway Point kind of ruined the show for us. The show kept stopping halfway through, dragging us out of the story with some crappy techno playing to a blank screen while we groaned and cursed, and then forcing us back in a little ways on so that we either forgot what was going on in the show or couldn't catch what was said for that few lost seconds. Also, the colour tone shifted between reddish and blueish while Gandalf was having a meeting with Elrond and Galadriel. I was so turned off with the colour tone changing every few seconds that I didn't catch anything they said at all. Also, no reparations were offered.
Avoid Cathay cinemas at Causeway Point people, it will ruin the experience of a good movie. They are el sucko.
