As with each year, EngHooi is hosting a Christmas lunch cooking his specialties; nasi lemak, prawn noodles Penang style. This year, we showed up with extra people to eat lunch; my mom because we thought she’d enjoy the change of scenery, and to take her earlier off my sister’s hands. She behaves better in the company of others and seemed more spirited and alert. I invited CK and family which Shoo Fun (former lawyer) and Vincent (former I T) thought was a bit strange, EH didn’t think anything of it so we didn’t think much more of it either. CK came and ate and met folks, and then left to tick off items on his travel list. I figured that he is a seasoned traveler and has plans of his own with his family and didn’t persuade him with other plans which I had in mind.
I put some other plans in place also, my own. I decided that gardening would help me focus on something other than work. It's like sketching, it's therapeutic. I need to lead by example, I'll plant seeds, transplant seedlings into the ground, or into bags and give away or sell.
Next, I'll start repairing the house. We'll start by re- painting it, not all by ourselves but some. Sara can be convinced to help.
At 7pm, I went for a run which was hard at first, as I haven't run for a long while, but it got easier. Easy enough for me to think about a pre dinner run on nights when I don't play squash.
