简单就是美

Our extended weekend was simple.

I got a slice of experience of being in his office, mapping his previous description of the office to the images I saw through my eyes. The blue walls, the windowless space yet being sufficiently spacious, the messiness (actually it wasn't that bad) of his table and the unwashed mug on his table with residual coffee at the inner bottom. Then, there was the greenness surroundings, the vastness of the landing fields and the craft he has spent often racked his brains over for. In a way, his workplace allowed him the flexibility and freedom of movement, which I suppose he values quite a fair bit. Yep, I appreciate him bringing me around and introducing to the place he works at every workday.

Then it was bread-baking at home on Fri after the hangar open house. Spent 3 hours plus getting the two loaves of raisin bread out; happy that it was a success! Luckily there was an engineer at home to help adjust the oven temperature and timings. The under-performing Takada oven would have to go soon! WW and his parents found it of some standard, but too bad my own mama papa just dumped the whole loaf into the fridge and didn't cover it up. Thus it became a little too dry. But mama sang praises of it nevertheless. Didn't know one could be so proud of a bread loaf. Hoho

Saturday we were shifting some flower and plant pots and some furniture from Hillside Drive to Blandford Drive. WW and family will be moving to their new house on coming Friday. The new house is very-almost done and all the lightings, deco and feature walls are completed. It's beautiful place; can't wait to own a piece of it! Haha... (just kidding)

Today is Papa's bday and we headed off to Mong Hing Teocheow restaurant. Busy Shou Bi came down directly from his hostel at NTU and went back to his hall after lunch. Such family meals out are not that frequent anymore now that Shou Bi has his own very-packed life in uni. He has joined the Motoring Club and ODAC in uni. Hope he still has time for studies and don't end up with one more year of studying. Furthermore, Tian spends most of her weekend with Hen, sometimes wii-ing away. Good thing WW likes dinner at my place and we have that with mama papa almost every Sunday evening.

Reflecting back, it is a bliss to lead a simple life. Both WW and I don't ask for much, we live our days doing what we like (most of the time), don't particularly have to handle unpredictabilities in our lives and are pretty easy-going. To soak in the late afternoon sun earlier today, we went downstairs to fly a kite at the open area beside my HDB block. He controlled the kite movements while I released/wound up the kite string. It was a simple old-day childhood activity yet it could bring us relaxation and joy. You really don't need a lot to be happy.
