Weekend Jaunt!
in nomine patri, et filii, et spiritui sancto amen
met the avp of one of the managing agents as we are partnering with them to be the exclusive sales rep for outdoor advertising at prime locations. he wanted to meet on a saturday and i said sure... so i told the wife and i met him at toa payoh while the wife brought elise and eliza to the library.
discussed the agreement and thought we had resolved all the issues when he sprang a surprise that we should amend one of the clause again. so i said ok and we'll do so and lets conclude the deal this coming week. had some chit chat where he told me about his vision and plans and how his regional experience put him in good stead to think out of the box versus his colleagues etc.... and i just smiled and listened. when time was up, i shook his hand and left.
anyway, lenus was bringing larissa to see the doc and we then met. he had an office party to go to and i ended up with the twins and mrs lenus. iggy and theresa was down from KL as well and all of us walked around toa payoh and then mrs lenus (or was it iggy?) suggested a movie and the girls screamed "chicken little"
the wife was apprehensive about this as eliza will scream while in the theater and well..... before we went it, she started saying she doesnt want to go into the cinema and we cajoled her into agreeing.
the movie started ... all went well.... halfway through... when the "aliens" came (for those who watched the movie will understand what i mean) eliza started screaming "I WANNA GO OUT! I WANNA GO OUT!" and cried and cried....
the wife and i did out best to calm her but she continued her screaming so what to do? i carried her out and father and daughter could bond while the wife and elise with the lenuses continued with the movie....sigh
btw... a freaking ticket is now $9.50 on a weekend! that tells you how long i hv been to the movies (in fact, if i remember correctly, the last movie i went to was "the beach" starring di caprio ..yes yes... i know that was centuries ago!) no wonder there are still pirates hawking their wares.... sheesh!!
met Jude while walking around toa payoh waiting for the movie to finish and we had a chat... he just failed his ippt.... looking at him, dont think he'd ever pass! hehehe
picked lenus up around 5pm and we went to st theresa's for Mass. we were early and we spent the time around the columbarium. somehow looking at the souls of the dearly departed makes him more aware of the fragility of life. i was especially moved by those that have gone to the Lord when they are babies or kids..... sigh.... said a prayer for the parents of these children that the Lord will continue to strengthen and bless them.
i know how they feel cos i do once in a while still think about leia...... another post on this perhaps...
Mass was good and met joe augustin after and we talked. we then went off to mrs lenus's cousin's place for dinner and that was that.
