Integrity & Words of Wisdom

This is another eventful weekends. For Saturday morning while Adrian brought the Anthea and Anders to the playgroup to rid them of their ‘adrenalin pump’, I did my house chores in peace. After that I prepared their lunches. As each of them has different likings, so I need to prepared 2 set of lunches.

1. Anthea – mashed potatoes with hotdogs
2. Anders – lean pork meat with dried scallop porridge

Verdict – both of them enjoyed their lunches…thanks goodness.

After lunch, both of them played a while at the neighbour’s house and then have their afternoon nap. Dinner was with the extended families at Jack’s Place. Think its must be the Father’s Day celebration, the place was so crowded. Service was so lagging and I have to ask for the sour cream and beacon bits 2 times before they brought it to our table. Didn’t enjoyed the dinner much as Anders was giving me some “problems”, so after dinner, I brought him home.

On Sunday, we went to view a 5 room flat. This unit is in the same block as my in-laws. The Aces family is considering upgrading our home to a bigger unit. However I think it is the wrong timing. Now it’s the PROPERTY BOOM time, just like 7 years ago when we bought our current home.

We met dad on the ground floor when he came back from his usual Sunday badminton session. He was giving us his advice on the unit that we saw. He was saying, “It’s good to consider upgrading, as the children will be growing big”. We knew dad always belief: In life, you must always upgrade yourself, and then you will
become a better person.

Back to the house, we viewed and liked the house but the asking price is way above our budget, so we have just have to wait till the next chance. When I called the agent to check with her regarding the flat, the agent was telling me that the owner had now changed her/his mind. They are now asking for more monies to sell their flat. We were shocked because the agent mentioned that someone did already match the owner asking price, so now GREED has got into the owner.

So now I am asking this question: when you are talking about MONIES, people lost their integrity and their Belief. We saw that there were religion signs places all over the house and in front on the door. Sigh…what more can we say.

For dinner, we went to Metropole Herbal restaurant, another wonderful dinning experience. Good meals and a lot of information being shared. Looking forward to this Friday outing… :)

Hi Astee,

In life, not many ppl can stand firm to what they belief. No matter what it is, don't be disheartened and try to stay positive. I'm sure adrian and you can find a suitable home for your family. Take care.
