Actifit Ulog 2 August 2019 - Of Work, Durians and Dragon fruits! Steemonsters and John Wick 3...

Hey everyone! TGIF! I always look forward to the weekend when I can chill, rest and spend time with loved ones. It sucks that I am always just waiting for the weekend to come... You know that it's bad when you are letting the majority of the week fly by just for the two days. Anyway, I am continuing to keep my goals in sight and as I said before, do something every day towards it. I am happy to say that it does give me something to look forward to.

This whole week I have been flying solo with my kiddos as Hubs was away working in Singapore. He just got back earlier this evening and he was off again to work attending to the shops that had been neglected the entire week that he was away. I, on the other hand, was busy getting the boys ready for bed and getting them to sleep. I have really come to appreciate the time that I spend every night with them. I have made it a point to make sure that I am there to put them to bed, read to them and recently in the last few days we have been having a threesome pillow talk! Pre-schoolers and toddlers are really so sweet when they are settling down for the night. Interestingly enough, they have been talking about the loss of their little "mei mei Jasmine" (little sister). It doesn't get any easier but remembering her made me feel a little more whole. After the boys fall asleep is the time that I get to do my posts so here I am writing and playing Steemmonsters at the same time!

It has been a pretty good stint for me tonight as I have had a winning streak on Steemmonsters taking me right up to Bronze II league level! Woohoo! It has been a while since I played and I lost a few rounds before getting my mojo back. Game on! I wonder if I can get to Bronze 1 League before I crash for the night? Well, I am definitely going to try but playing Steemmonsters, blogging and watching John Wick 3 at the same time is going to prove a little tough...LOL

I had to get to work earlier than usual today because of a very important vendor review meeting with a core client that was going to take at least half the day, not to mention all the other days that I had to clear before the weekend. I am grateful that the meeting went well and the client seemed to be happy overall with our group performance in helping them find the right people for all their positions. We left the meeting with a very good possibility of many more positions opening for us to work on within the next 12 months. Then we all decided to head over to Din Tai Fung for a well-deserved lunch together just to celebrate this win. The food, however, was disappointing! This branch in Nu Sentral is a halal one (doesn't serve any pork) and the food tasted really bland compared to the food in their non-halal branches... clearly we are not going back there anytime soon.

Finally, it was time to head home! Yay! I said my goodbyes and ran out the door as I needed to pick up the kids from my in-laws and visit a good friend who lives nearby as she called to tell me that she managed to visit a dragon fruit farm and had brought back many kilos for me! The ones from the farm are really fresh, sweet and full of flavour. She shared with me that the best and sweetest ones are not the ones that look perfect on the outside but the ones with marred skin. I had a lovely bonus surprise though when I got there, she gave me a tupperware of durian! Best of all it was D24 durian! I have been wanting to eat D24 for quite a while now but the last few times that I did eat was Musang King. I finished everything of course! Lately, for some strange reason, Hubs doesn't eat durian anymore. Oh well, less men more share for me!!

Ok, it is now really early in the morning, I am trashed, my tummy is full of durians and dragon fruits and John Wick is busy decimating agents of the High Table in the New York Continental Hotel...

Thanks for visiting my little space and have a great weekend everyone!

Xoxo,
Khim
