Since my work trip cum holiday was postponed, we decided to take a trip to Adelaide. It was partly a holiday and partly also to recce the place.And because it was such a last minute trip, we had problems getting a direct flight. So had to transit in Perth. The flights itself were an experience but more about that later.

This is the 3rd flight (1st was when he was 6 months and 2nd was when he was 1 year old) for the little fella and we were initially a little apprehensive as he is a lot more active now. So we were wondering how much we had to do to occupy him. So we armed ourselves with plenty of snacks and some of his books as well. I think it helped that he chose the books himself. He was then a little more keen to read it onboard the flight. Overall, he was quite a good kid on the plane, slept some, ate a little and watched quite a bit of the in flight entertainment stuff. It was good that there was Playhouse Disney And of course, it helped that there were 2 of us taking care of him.

All in all, we had a good trip and like always, we tried to balance it with activities that he liked and stuff that we like. So that no one gets shortchanged. It was a great thing that we brought the stroller along so many of his daytime naps were spent in the stroller. We discovered this nice Japanese place that sold udon soup so meals generally weren’t a problem. It was funny but I think the little fella missed eating fishballs as he kept asking for them.

We did lots in Adelaide. Shopped, attended 2 fringe festival events, took a day trip to the hills where the little fella thoroughly enjoyed picking strawberries at the farm,went to the beach, went to the zoo.Was a bit sian that I had to work some of the nights but guess I cannot complain since boss agreed so readily to my 2 weeks leave though it was a busy period here. But then again, when it is really not busy?

The trip gave me a better sense of the place and what to expect should we shift there anytime soon. Definitely want to move but there are tens of trillions of worries in my mind now. Must really learn to keep the faith and not let the worrywart in me take over.

It feels sort of like an oven out there today.Though lunch and company was nice, it felt good that I was back in my nice cool office. U know, I think I am going to miss this office when I leave. The cosy-ness of it and all…wonder what it will be like in the new place. But guess, if I dun get out of my comfort zone now, I probably never well. I like trying new things but it worries me too.Oh..I digress..I was going to write about lunch. It was a nice lunch and the good thing with meeting up with good frens is that though u dun meet for a while, when u do, it is like you never left off.

Oh…whilst walking back from Bugis, I saw this lady…wearing denims, carrying an LV bag and a pink Hello Kitty umbrella. Individually, they look all right but when put together, they look so wrong. I mean…an LV bag and a Hello Kitty  umbrella?!?! Not that I have a great fashion sense but there are just some things I won’t put together.

This is such a wet wet month. Apart from the times when I am home when it rains, I dun like it much. It makes getting around so inconvenient esp when picking/dropping M off in school. It makes me sleepy too..It’s been raining virtually the entire day though it is lightening somewhat now. I wonder if there will be a repeat of the floods like last week. Thomson Road was so badly hit that cars were partially submerged, plants were destroyed and even kois escaped. It was a good thing that the rain was heaviest that day, Matthew was home with MM.Kept him home as he was running a temperature and did not want to risk him getting wet.

This rain makes me sleepy too. Feel like I could do with a looooooooong looooooooong nap.
