Oops, I Did It Again

So very Britney the title but my happenings are far from being glamourous.

Yap, I did a matchmaking stint again, second time round and second time lucky as well. The pair hit it off real well, much to my relief. Then again, I should be pretty confident of my track record and since both were really good people, they should at the very least be friends after the first meeting. Mr. K is the super nice guy next door with the best of manners and temperament, a brother of my close pal (who had left yesterday in pursuit of her dreams. I wish her the very best too though she's sadly missed right now). Ms. E is a young lady with the biggest heart I know of, maturity beyond her age and of course the nanny of yours truly when I was alone and pregnant. And so a coffee time meet ended with dinner well past 9. Of course the auntie here didn't tag along and to think both didn't want to respond to my incessant sms when they were together says it all, doesn't it? I know I am very super AUNTIE to have thought of and arrange this but the joy out of knowing that they got along well really gives me the kick, though I must say it was a distance to drive from BT to the beach, today being Mother's Day and I had to prepare the dinner spread for the extended family and that Claire wasn't feeling too good. But the trip paid off handsomely, at least from the indications I got from both parties after their dinner. What a Mother's Day?!!

This weekend was really well spent, I felt very connected with the kiddos again. Was feeling a little distant after the recent rush at the workplace. Was very touched with Claire's handmade clay container with a card thanking me for everything I have done for her, that I am the best mummy, She loves me, etc, even though I had been pretty harsh on her lately over her exams. Although I am earning much less with my half time, can't felt but think that my time these past few months have been really well spent connecting with the kids and my mum. The kind of satisfaction with having known that I have been there for them is not what a higher paying job could buy for me. And though finances look set to get tougher with our recent flat purchase, I am certain God will provide, just as how He has provided for us all these while.

There leaves 3 more people I'd like to make their day, with more joy coming my way. Of course not forgetting to thank MY ONE for his Mother's Day gift.
