Well, after ate breakfast with our university classmate’s kid, he went apartment hunting and I worked on the yard, mowing the lawn, trimming the trees, picking the wild grasses, putting back all the stones for erosion control and power washing the side door and garage. It looks great right now until next time.

Aunt Jane and Carrie stayed here for 4 days last week.

Our classmate’s kid will stay a couple of days and our old friends, a couple, plus her sister and brother-in-law will stay a couple of days starting next Monday. Her sister needs surgery to remove a lump in her lung. They are old conples and driving back and forth to their house in the country side is just too much for them. So, they usally stay with us. This time, not them, but her sister needs someplace to stay. We are glad that we can help.

Well, I heard Mom is putting two cherry trees in our house at Washougal. I also heard that over there, to buy a house now, they need to lineup and sleep over at the office door. Just like Las Vegas when I was there. Crazy! Imagine, when bubble bursts, what will happen. And a lot of people just bat the opposite. Interesting!

Donald, did you get the tickets yet?

This is the pool inside the Warren Condo complex 

This is a water slide at the Chua Chu Kang Comminuty Swim Center 

This is what the warning is all about 

This is a warning sign in the back of the Chau Chu Kang Park 

This is the todler playground across the street from the Northvale Condo in Chua Chu Kang Park 

This is the Chua Chu Kang Neighborhood. We may live in either the Warren Condod (where the red star is) or the North Vale Condos. Both are right outside the MRT station. There are parks with playgrounds across the street (green area on right) and the Lot1 Mall has lots of stuff including a public library, a movie theater, a 10 minute kids haircut place, a ramen place, two sushi conveyor belt places, a grocery store, a day care center, a video game parlor, a food court and two McDonalds. 

A map of Singapore. The red star at Chua Chu Kang is a place we might live. I work just above the Kranji station (NS7 or number 7 on the north south MRT line) We also thought of living in Bishan (NS17). The tony area where a lot of ex-pats live is Orchard (NS22).

We went swimming again at the Fishkill All-Sport. Again, I wanted to go to the outdoor pool, but it seemed like it was about to rain, so we went to the indoor pool instead.

Today we are going up to Bard and picking up the doggies and then tomorrow Bob and Katherine are coming in from NYC!

So I biked to work yesterday.. It only took me an hour or so to get in. Of course, since I’m paranoid about leaving my bike outside, and would never ever ever in a million years do that. I, of course, did what any other paranoid person would do, and I chained my bike up to the outside of my cube. I “worked” for the day, and then when 6 came around, I got changed a left.

Well today, my boss sent me an email telling me that someone complained about my bike being in the hall… great.

Referencing my picture below, there’s a hallway running down the left side of my cube. My cube is the inside corner cube.

Apparently, there’s a lot of senstive library materials being shuffled around and people say tehy might bump into my bike… But i dunno. The hallway is a good 8-9 feet wide and there’s already a clothes hanger to hold people’s jackets in the hallway.

so anyways, hopefully she isn’t just complaining about my bike in general. Plus, this is a great excuse too to get a folding bike. ha!
