what a surprise, what a bonus !

What a Surprise !
After I entered the last blog, while getting ready to leave the house, received a call from my new Principal. She told me about the exemption which they intended to give to me. This I know is the doing of Choo and Tang.

Anyway, I know, I am expected to be there tomorrow, I will be there. And I am going because my students and their parents are expecting me and a few would want to discuss their children's progress.

I will not put the Principal in a difficult position. I know the grounds for giving me exemption isn't strong, though I appreciate the gesture of thoughtfulness very much.

Anyway, today, the Family Day went on very fine. Very good planning from the church's side. The weather was perfect. Thank You, Lord.


What a bonus!

Yesterday, by the time we met hubby, it was already 7.30pm. The kids were very hungry and so we had dinner at the nearest coffee shop first. This turned out to be a bonus.

As usual, after dinner, we wanted to head to Changi Airport, our favourite place for the children to run about. And, this, also turned out to be a bonus.

I noticed the unusual slow traffic along ECP. Plus the jam around Shenton Way, which will never happen on a weekday ..... unless, unless, unless ........

wanna make a guess?

Some of you might have got it......... !

Unless there is a fireworks display show !!!!!

We were at the tail end of the Benjamin Shears Bridge.

ECP is a 5 lanes' expressway. But, 3 lanes of cars just stopped and waited for the fireworks to begin! Of course traffic police would be powerless. They could only ensure public saftey.

The crazy thing was : when the fireworks display started, many drivers and passesngers just got off the cars and walked towards the grass patch area to catch a better view. Some would place their kids on the cars' roofs!! This is so crazy !! And can be seen as dangerous. Only safe coz no vehicle could move since there weren't any drivers in the first place. Ha !!

Zoe enjoyed the fireworks display from within the car. Today, her art work is fireworks and more fireworks, on her hands, btw.

This is truly a great bonus, esp for Zoe.

We had a great night out.

The children slept very well. Till 10.30 or 11am in fact.

I'm glad the Lord made this day went very well and joyous.

It turned out to be a good holiday afterall.

Thank You, Lord, You are so kind.

I know You care.

Love,
Jesselyn Ng
