false dawns

It has not been one of my better weeks...

Been unwell from last week. Down with the flu. Felt like crap. Only now been able to return to anywhere near my normal self. Did not get MC except for the day where I went to see the doc...

Agnes came over yesterday for our annual family tradition:The Easter Dinner. Second only to the Christmas Dinner in importance in the Boyd Family calendar. Noel, Paula,Mum and dad were there, along with our menagerie of felines and canines.
After dinner me and Agnes spent a little *ahem* quality time together in my room. It seems the last few weeks have been a blur. We both seemed preoccupied with places to go and people to meet. Sometimes we forsake the ones closest to us. But we made it through.

On Good Friday, the office guys(and gals) including Ten and wife spent the day at St. John's Island. Was nice, although a tad inconvenient with all the travelling and odd ferry times. The guys went on the first ferry. Agnes and myself opted for the second ferry much to Hasli chagrin. Guess he was pissed that we sprung the last minute no-show on him. Agnes and myself were not feeling good that day as alluded to above. So a few extra hours of shut eye was welcome. By the time Agnes and I got there things were already in full swing.
Had a great time playing 'Monkey' using of all things a coconut we found on the shore. Thank goodness we did not play Dodgeball...
By 4pm it was a mad rush to the ferry terminal for a ferry that took forever to come. I guess there was a slight mix up in the timings.
After getting back to the mainland, we all had dinner at the food centre opposite WTC (Harbourfront...Vivo City ...or whatever they call themselves now). The fried rice and hor fun we ordered was crap and took forever to come. Grr...
After dinner we all set off on our own separate ways. Agnes and I went to Kent Ridge Park (finally!) and walked the various trails. It did not take long as it is not all that big at the peak. After that we headed to..
East Coast. Nuff said.

Saturday: picked Agnes from her place at around 5. Came to my place. The weather played havoc with our plans. We had wanted to bring Camou to the dog run but the inclement weather put paid to that idea. We just kinda hung out at my place before heading to Wah Hoe's for a late dinner. Mum and dad were nice enough to drive Agnes home after that.
