After Beijing trip, my life seemed to be fast forwarded in full speed. I seemed to have lunch more on the table alone or with my friends discussing work. And I seemed to go home a lot more later than usual. It’s a perfect combination of rating calibration season and managing additional accounts as one of our colleague moved to another department. It’s exhausting and tiring. When I am home, I usually just hit the sack and collapsed ’til morning. And the stories repeated again on the next day.

The good thing is, during weekend I spent it full day with my family.

We had quite a busy day on Saturday. It started with me (re)doing math test in my dreamed business school. Due to better preparation this time, I think I managed ok. I only need to do more soul searching as to why do I want to do this a.k.a why do I want to add more stress into my almost manageable life? I need to search my soul better as I still have not find the answer until now.

After test, Pascal and hubby picked me up for coffee and cookies at Starbucks, before we picked up Mika from his Tae Kwon Do School. Guess who had the cookies crumbs all over the mouth? We have little cookie monster with us. We then had lunch in Ny. Suharti where we also spent sometimes to play around the fish pond and marginal play ground. Again, my cookie monster ate a full plate of rice with chicken. I wonder what happened with his diet program? It did not seem to work…

After that we went to PIM 2 to watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua. It was Pascal’s first time watching movie in the theatre so he was very excited. He kept on going up and down, inside and out and stood up on his chair. It was a bit frustrating and yet it was fun. But not for poor Mika who seemed embarrased with his little brother’s boisterous attitude. So we tried to manage Pascal’s endless energy by taking turn in taking him out and taking him in again. And the fact that we sat two rows from above made it quite tiring for a couple of mid 30s like us. Not to mention that we lost the continuation of the movie. Argh!!

And then we went for dinner at ChopStix for the hundredth times. We’ve been going there every week for months! The boys seemed never grow tired of it and I seriously thought that ChopStix should have give us discount or some sort of recognition as loyal customer!

Oh well, I guess what is important is that we were together. Nomatter what we eat. So we went home tired and contented. We slept right away, surrounded by the kids and I thought that I had never felt happier in my life like where I was on Saturday. I love you, boys.
