Since it looks like we are coming back to Singapore for three months after we've done our two months travelling New Zealand, I've started looking at rental apartments again. I found a nice-looking place in Novena which would be very convenient for friends, church and work. It is modern, clean and light and even comes with a weekly cleaner included in the cost. Brilliant.
Why is it that Singaporeans are always late for appointments? I had to wait twenty minutes for the estate agent today. That said, the air conditioning repair guys were spot on time, so I can't really complain.
I like having time at home, but I'm also looking forward to doing two days a week at the Canadian school from next week. It will be good teaching practice and it'll be good to be busy again.
It's amazing how quickly I've got used to the heat here again after the UK. The humidity is high, but it has great effects on skin and hair. I went for a pedicure yesterday, at my usual place, and they cut the price by 50% for no apparent reason - very odd, I'll have to go back before the offer ends.
I'm enjoying reading 'Boundaries in marriage' - it's actually quite a useful book. Says a lot about conflict, I think I understand where my defensiveness comes from, and more importantly how to go about changing my response. I like the idea that each individual in a relationship owns certain aspects of their soul such as feelings, attitudes, behaviours, choices, limits, desires, thoughts, values, talents and love. Once you can get this in your head, I guess any other problems pretty much sort themselves out.
I'm getting excited about New Zealand now, less than a month to go - time to get fit for all that walking.
