I was so counting down to the end of June
because its the school summer holidays till September
which means im not working since the kids are away!!
woohoo!!
as much as i love having a job and income
the end of june was so hard to bear with the hot sun
when i need to be outdoor for the hottest time of the day to fetch the kids
and the kids become cranky with their need for holidays too..
At least, it marks the end of my contract!
I cant believe i survive a year of babysitting
even when im complaining like theres no tomorrow..
27 June 2015
At the end of june also means gaypride is here!
I used to love to be at Pinkdot in Singapore every year
although its more fun and grand here,
i still miss Pink dot.
I guess it really matters more to have friends than the event itself
As the husband was sick, we didnt spend much time at the gaypride this year
to me, is not really enjoying myself in the event
but to show support to the cause!
And im glad husband is a supporter too,
at least if my future child is LGBT, i guess husband wont want to kill him/her..
haha
If you noticed the LEESSANG cap
Yes, im so crazy that i bought the cap online
it is my cap because im still so crazy about running man!
haha
With love from Singapore
I didnt know that my friend left a gift for me
before she left Paris
and its this beautiful zara clutch that i saw with her while shopping!
I have been looking for a clutch and its crazily expensive here
especially for those that i like
I missed those cheap bags shops in Singapore
Thank you so much my dear!
The other great news is my sister is coming to geneva for her meeting again!
Its really nice that my sister works in a swiss company
that there is always the probablity for her to come here
Well, this year will be her solo trip and i dont think she can extend her stay much
I think Im just so looking forward to meet up with her!!
And of course, i can start my sg supplies orders again...haha
However, she will probably be here at the week when we are shifting
Now im really hoping that we can shift before she arrive
but... sigh is summer holidays...
Appartment
We finally signed the papers at the bank for the mortage loan!
According to the consultant, all should be fine for the final approval..
The supposed timeline was to:
10 August - Get the final approval from bank
11-24 August - 10 days cool-off period
27 August - last inspection of appartment
28 August - final sales contract and collect keys
29 August - shift house (End of rental lease)
Now, we are hoping that we can get the final approval earlier than 10 August
as we will be away to visit grandparents-in-laws for 7-15 august, my sister will be here 24-28/30 August,
owner will shift out around 10ish august, and 29 august is my mother-in-law birthday
that we really want to be able to shift earlier than 29 August!
Although we secretly suspect the notary gave the date of 28 August as he is going for summer holiday..
Anyway, our hopeful timeline:
3 August - Get final bank approval
4-17 August - 10 days cool-off period
20 August - last inspection of appartment
21 August - final sales contract and collect keys
22 August - shift house
29 August - End of rental lease
Well, keeping our fingers and toes crossed!
Heatwave
This year, we had a really hot spring that i predicted a hot summer
but i definitely didnt not expect a heat wave
Summer is generally endurable where day temperature average about 28degrees
and night temperature average about 19 degrees
Paris is not so well equiped with air conditioning as Singapore
28 degrees can feel like Singapore minus the humidity
Sadly, this week there is the heatwave
where during the day, it can go up to 36 degrees
and night is around 29 degrees!
Our little fan seems to be blowing hot air at me
and do nothing to cool down the appartment
Especially when the day is so long...
Im never a fan of cold food
Singapore has trained me well to be able to eat steamboat in hot weather
and i love to have hot food for meals
however, the heatwave won and i give in to make cool meals :(
Husband is happy since he likes cold food
and i tried to make cha soba without soba..haha
I pretended is a fusion...
I dont know is it the heatwave or im just lazy during holidays
I dont find the energy to pack for the shift
I dont feel that I rest well at night
I dont want to do anything except lying down with the windows shutter close
Oh, i have the stupid heat rash again
The heatwave is supposed to end in 2 days
I desparately need the weather to be cooler
or I may go out of control and impulsively buy a portable air conditioner
because is summer sales...
Summer sales
Although I told myself no buying because we are shifting
and to save money
Heatwave forced me to hide in coller shopping mall and lured me to shop
Well, i wanted to shop
The summer / winter sales here are probably the best times to buy things
It seems that any shops will be at least 30% off
but i think i did apply some restraints in my shopping
Summer sales is ending on 4 August, so i really need to cover my eyes till the end
And last,
I just want to show off this Adidas top that i bought
Yes, is totally not worth the price even after the discounts
but i couldnt control the adidas fan in me...
