An almost wasted Sunday ... thanks to Election 06

Election happens once every 5 years... thank goodness for that!! Due to the vote counting, the papers on Sunday started printing late, resulting in all the newspapers arriving late yesterday. Which meant that my entire family was loitering around Chai Chee pick up point from 6am(Which was already later than usual) till abt 8am.

I slept at 130 in the wee hours of the morning after watching the election results, which was a pretty bad move as i had to wake at 5+ to go and deliver newspapers. But in the end, have to spend 2 hours waiting for the papers to arrive derives me of my precious sleep.

In the end, i spent the late morning and afternoon taking a rather long but unfulfilling nap.

The good news is, my brother drove my mom and me down to ikea to buy a new sofa (the sofa-those old type with wooden frame and square foam cushions-in our living room had gave up after 30 years of butt abuse) and a wardrobe for my parents. Total cost: $1151.50 ..... which is a better investment for the family than using that to buy a new PC for my BF2.

After signing on my credit card, we left and bought dinner back home. Later on i met up with TTW and fen for a swim. Manage to complete 20 laps only ... my triceps are crying out in agony liao. Looks like i have to reduce the frequency of my swims ... maybe this wed would be the next swim, if my muscles recover by then.
