27 Aug - 4 Sep 2013
The holiday seems to have given a new lease of energy and determination. Ever since I got back I have been extremely busy but productive.
Things went pretty much like this:
Got back to Singapore (after a good flight in which the little one co-operated really well).
Unpacked.
Wrote all the detailed blogs from the trip (and there were a lot of those!)
Uploaded the holiday pictures.
Caught up with everything at work and made some good progress too.
Exercised 6 out of the 8 days since I got back.
Managed to get a "that's a very lovely post" for camel pose at yoga class.
Caught up with friends at work and outside.
Started meditating every night before going off to bed.
Got to watch the little one learn new tricks like picking up toys and placing them on my palm when I tell her "Give", imitating me when I cough, playing her new favourite game of collapsing on the bed at the count of three, trying to say "this" and "that" even though that's not what she means when she says it... etc. etc.
Caught two good films - a lovely Malayalam film called "English" and an interesting independent film called "Good Morning, Good Night".
Got excited about the new found muscles on my arms! The workouts are working!
Did some more planning on the next big holiday, this time with both the set of parents!
Had a discussion with a friend who got inspired by the script of Aravindum Aaarumughamum and has thought through a way to use the film to raise funds for a particular social cause. How awesome is that! More details on this coming over the next few months.
Discovered a whole new hangout area in Singapore. It all happened when the hubby and I were out of ideas for a new place to take the little one out to for our routine Sunday outing. I resorted to Google and we got several recommendations on kids friendly cafes in Singapore, all around this area called Robertson Quay. We had been there before but what we didnt realize that beyond the restaurant we have been to, there is an extremely long strip of cafes and restaurants and bars lining the river, connecting Great World City mall to Clarke Quay and beyond! That was such an awesome discovery because there were dozens of cafes to choose from. We had a good brunch at one and walked more than 5kms up and down the strip. It was an evening spent extremely well!
So there. That's all that's been happening. It's a lot. But it's all good. I am glad that instead of lazing out after the holiday, I have been able to bounce right back!
