Wonderful Rain

It is more than 2 weeks of haze. Last night, lightning strikes and this morning, rain rain rain.  So I managed to collect rainwater for plants.  Now the air smells fresh.  The air is cool.  It is nice to get a break in the weather.

Some of the trees in PCN leaves are totally brown and the grass were brown this morning when I cycled.  It is good that the trees are getting their lifegiving water.

Best of all my rainwater collection has replenished. 

Eunoia

At the Sengkang Community exercise area, a girl came to do sit-ups beside me.  I was also doing my sit-ups and planking exercises in order to strengthen my core muscles.  I notices she is wearing Eunoia T-Shirt.  So I ask if she is in the school.  Yes!  She is in J2.  So she is same age as B3.  It is school holiday now and she is exercising.

I chat with her a bit as B3 will be in the same school if he was in IP program.  She is in Arts stream and studies Geography and Chinese  Her CCA is Chinese orchestra.  She was from St Nicholas.  The school is quite far in Ghim Moh.  There is a shuttle bus from Sengkang.  So it is not to bad.

Her Maths is not good.  So I recommended B3's tuition teacher.  Do not know if she will take up.  Also the tuition teacher's Maths is quite weak.  So hopefully she does well in her A levels.

B2 is Back for Year 3

B2 started his academic year in U of T. This is his 3rd year.  Two more years to go.  Hopefully, he come back with good results and will be able to get a job.  He seems to want to go to do clinical psychology but his 2 cousins in SMU psychology work in bank or ecommence.

I just hope he can earn enough to support himself and his family.

Hot and Humid

It is hot and humid.  I find it difficult to focus.  Also I did not have proper lunch and cooking myself different snacks to eat.  I am also drinking a ton.  Beer, pineapple juice and tea.

Wish I live in a country with cooler climate.

Reading Again

I am enjoying reading random stuff.  Usually things that interest me.  I also like to look at pictures of planets and the moon.  While most of the stuff I am reading is easily available on the internet.  It is  better in a book as it is organised with a central theme.  Also the subjects are treated with more depth.  I also enjoys reading stories again.  Some are old stories.  I like smaller books as it is faster to finish.  Love Story, the old movie bring a lot of nostalgia.  It is only about 50 pages long.  So an easy and relaxing read.  I was surprised to find there is a sequel!!  It is called Oliver.  Oliver is quite exciting and then takes a turn which disappoints me.  He is going so well with this girl who can match him in wealth.  But a Hong Kong trip kills the relationship and she went on to marry another lawyer.  What a bummer!!
