That Peaceful Easy Feeling ...

I've been up since 6.20am today. Yes, don't adjust your screens please, this is not a technical glitch and neither is it a typo. I really did wake up at 6.20am. Honest, really, I'm not lying. Come on already, trust me when I say I woke up at 6.20am, ok ... LOL!

Well, the truth of the matter is I woke up at that ungodly hour to keep wifey company. The boys start school today but I'm still on holiday (my last day of lazing around the house) and she had to wake up to make their breakfast and I just couldn't stay in bed while she had to wake up so early, so I told her last night before sleeping that I'll do my best to wake up with her and keep her company while she made their breakfast. And I did wake, as difficult as it may have been, I forced my lazy butt off the bed and went down with her.

I didn't know how peaceful and calm it can be at such an ungodly hour of the morning, I think even god was probably still asleep! There was not a stir in the whole neighbourhood. You could even hear the clock ticking on the wall. Well, as nice and peaceful as it may be, this was a one off thing for me.

'Don't get used to this ok, honey?' LOL!

On normal work days, I'd wake wifey up and continue sleeping till it's time to get up for work. I work really close by so I wake up much later than the average working person who has to leave early to battle the traffic jams everyday. The joys and benefits of working about a 5 minutes drive from my office :D Well, I did continue my sleep after she was done with the breakfast but the fact that I was awake for at least 30 minutes at such an early hour entitled me to some bragging rights ... LOL!

Today is the last of my CNY holidays, then it's back to work for me tomorrow. I am so not looking forward to starting work but then, at least I had a great holiday and I'm much refreshed and full of life. But that still doesn't mean I'm ready for work, k? Just in case you're reading this boss, we could do with 3 more days of the holidays ... LOL! Traditionally over here, when we get back to work on the first day after the CNY holidays, we'll all be getting an Ang Pow from her. So at least that's something to look forward to tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to lunch time as well cos I have a date with wifey :D After sending the younger boy off for school later, we're both going out to spend some time by ourselves starting with a lunch date at one of her favourite Malay restaurants near our place. She doesn't know it yet but after lunch I think I'll take her out shopping or something. We'll see how it goes. It isn't always that the boys are not with us so I might as well maximize this chance :) Well, the older boy will be back from school though, but he'll be more than happy to stay home and watch TV. And my mom is home to keep an eye on him anyway.

Seeing as how that is going to be the case, I'd better hurry and finish this assignment I have on mortgage lenders. Hmmm, in fact this reminds me that I have to look in to what's been happening with the apartment I bought. The project is currently stalled but I was told last year that they were reviving the project. And there's been no news since then. Just my luck, the first time I ever buy and practically invested all my savings in the place and the whole damn project is abandoned for a long time with some silly reason. Oh, well, maybe it's time to start scolding someone ... LOL!
