Success journal 601: Family day and connecting with my secondary friends

Wake up with Jenny having neck pain. I took Jayden to school, brought Jacob to buy some croissants from Kamome and let Jacob play in the playground. 

Connecting with him and stuff. He prefers the mat floor to the grass. 

He can climb up the red slides now

I then brought him back home and had breakfast with Jenny. 

After my breakfast, I took a taxi to Charles's wedding. Haven't seen them for ages. Good to connect with them again. 

Brief solemnisation in private patio had lunch in a nearby ramen place. 

After that, I did some groceries and brought them home via taxi. 

After they are awake, I then fetch Jayden from Chinese class. I brought Jacob with me. Saw Jayden with another boy called han in the Chinese class. 

I brought rugby and also badminton to Thomson playground so that they could burn some energy. 

I met Han and his dad; his dad came to chat with me. We did a good solid chat for a while. It was mind-opening to understand people's strategies. He also mentioned that he knew some people who pulled strings so their kids could get in. 

After our conversation, I quickly share it with Jenny. 

After our meal, we went to velocity to accompany Jenny for her neck treatment. She sprained her neck after an intense sport yesterday. At the same time, I hang out with Jayden. Spent some excellent one-to-one sessions with him. We went to read some books in a bookstall.

Success journal 597: half day off to support my family

I seldom take off for my kids, despite all the childcare leave, which I used while my helper was not around. 

Yesterday I took half day of annual leave to bring Jacob to his vaccination in toa payoh

We sent Jayden to school and called a taxi to the polyclinic. I took the queue number with my phone. Pushing the limit of technology. 

When we reached the polyclinic, our queue number was on the missed list. Waited for a while. 

Jacob had a low-temperature fever in the morning. The nurse nearly rejected us for the immunisation jab. MMR dose one and chicken pox dose 1. 

He took one jab on each of his shoulders. The immunisation cost zero as he is a Singaporean. How lovely. 

Took a taxi home and took Jacob to Thomson playground. He was very cheerful and played with himself. He also learned how to stand and clapped his hands. 

When is around 1045hrs, I went to fetch Jayden.

Along the way, we chatted, which was very entertaining. We went to United Square, and I bought some bread for him. He wanted breadtalk instead of the proofer. Damn boy. I bought breadtalk for him. 

We walked home and had lunch together. Left for work around 1230hrs 

I left work around 7 pm, took a bus back and reached home to join the family at home around 1930hrs. Connected with Jenny while I was having my shake and also an avocado meal. 

We chatted for the rest of the day and slept.
