7th Day Of Raya

A quiet Raya weekend for us. We didn't go out visiting anyone or "Raya"ing anywhere today. Just stayed at home and for me, feeling rather blah today. Hay fever hits me hard today. Ugh. 

Better be all well by dawn tomorrow because I need to do at least 16K steady run! I've been rather lax in my half-marathon training and Adidas King of the Road is beckoning in two week's time & Taiping Marathon in three! @.@

I've gotten the Big Boss approval for a Raya do over at the office next week; and the food will be catered by an ex-staff who is now doing a small catering business as her side-income. Lemang, ketupat, nasi impit, sate, all the works... People of Finance Department, don't ask about my "open house" already ah... Got the office one, enough lah! *evil laugh*

Raimie kept busy and entertained himslef with playing Wii for a while during the day... He also had his haircut. Need to have neat hair to return back to school next week!
and doing this as I typed this post. It's been ages since he last bothered with any of his jigsaw puzzles. He had lots of them as we bought a lot for him to play when he was way younger - to develop his problem solving skill, visual & tactile skill and all that nonsense. 

Anyways, he had his first 70pcs jigsaw puzzle when he was 3 or 4. A Dragonball Z puzzle, if I might add. ^^ Though I have to mention that there is a Winnie the Pooh 3,000pcs jigsaw puzzle still left languishing and unfinished now stashed away in the store! It's those darned sky. All that blue repititions! wahaha

      Dragon balls jigsaw puzzle... I made one, framed and gifted it to my then-bf (now hubb). The frame is now hanging on my in laws' wall. He's a huge fan of Son Goku.

      I also made Sailormoon one for my sister and it's on her bedroom's wall.

      I think I did several back then.... you know, no computer, no smartphone and dialup Internet service was so much expensive. So in order to kill the time, I just play with jigsaw puzzle, even thought I was almost 20 years old already.

      I was already back to work on Thursday! Boo!

      But Raimie will only be back to school on Monday. Early mornings and jam. So not looking forward to it... unless I'm out running. Early mornings, I mean.

      at 6.55am - I was still waiting for dear Zaini to get ready to drive me over to Putrajaya for my long run.

      Duit raya is only for kanak-kanak.... Over 10 years old not entitled. Maybe gadis will give SK duit raya, he's still a kid in his heart (and mind). Body stuck in a 30+ years old uncle. Kakakaka!

      Nope... We bought jigsaw puzzle for educational purpose when he was really small.

      I guess so.

      My son nowadays rarely look and play with his puzzles anymore.

      Got more interesting stuff to occupy him, I suppose.

    Now you give me a good idea to buy a simpler jigsaw for my old man to play. He has dementia issues and specialists said he will need skill games to play often.

    During the Raya holiday, I did spring cleaning to clean up my children toy cabinet. I found many jigsaw puzzles, I gave all of them away now. My girls have no chance to fish them out and play again like Raimie.

    We seldom go out during weekends.

    Have our breakfast, go to Di Zi Gui class (Confucius teaching) and be home by noon. Stay until dinner... sometimes I cook, tapau or dine out. Then back to the nest to catch some TVB series or movies.

    Boring, huh?

    I agree that weekend should spend with loved one, be it at home or outside. Quiet is always the best, may be I am a homely person, or may be I am aged. I like to be at home most of the time.
