A busy, tired but an ok day :)

Woke up at 6:20am this morning and hurriedly got myself ready to go over to my friend's. As I wasn't sure of the route to the place(though it's not too far, by car esp.), her niece came to fetch me over :D
Accustomed to the different families' customs or no-custom, for that matter, I wasn't surprised when there were some formalities not observed or 'changed', for ease of convenience over there and I just rendered whatever help I could after I've dolled her up.

Apart from the time spent on getting the bride into her waistnipper and the bridal gown, the 'change' of customary procedure further delayed the initial timing and by the time I was finally able to leave , it was already 8:45am. Daddy had to leave by 9:15am, so I had to rush back home. Even had to abandon my plan of getting Mcdonald's breakfast for daddy, some stuffs and collect the PD's letter from the clinic.
There was a buffet lunch at my friend's new home @AMK after their marriage solemnisation, but as Renee's not attending school today, I couldn't attend. So, after I've wished her the best and gave her a hug + a red packet, I almost dashed out of the flat hahaha.
I had to quicken my pace as it was about to rain when I was halfway through and by the time I slot my key to my home gate, it was raining and...my legs were ready to give way hahaha.

Daddy drove my car out and hoping to get a faster reply from the school, I called the clinic and requested for a fax copy of the PD's letter first. But even after I've faxed over the letter, I'm still to wait(don't know when) for the school's HQ to revert with their reply on the fees 'refund' and they can't tell me when I would get that. I guess it shouldn't be that difficult as we've no intention to withdraw from the school - merely a suspension, so just hope they'll revert really soon so we can decide if to resume soon or the next term.
There was a missed call from the school when I was driving in the afternoon and it was Mrs Jacob. She's already left when I returned the call and I guess she's probably calling to enquire on Renee's absence - am sure the administrator will update her tomorrow.
(On this matter, Eileen had suggested earlier, over the phone that perhaps we could try another branch as it might be that the current one is not 'suitable' for Renee? My nephew used to fall in and out of sickness within days, continuously for 9 months but miraculously stopped when my sis changed the pre-school, thus the suggestion. But I told her that it's still too early to tell since she's only started for 2 mths and there's this strong bug going on at the moment, so I'll have to wait till she resumes and monitor from there).

Daddy came home ard 11am and unable to resist the lethargy, I went to take a nap. Woke up 1/2 hour later and began to get myself ready whilst waiting for Renee's lunch to be cooked. We all had our lunch at Punggol Plaza as I went to get some groceries from NTUC. I drove hee...
Then it was further practice at the punggol area and more turning and parking practices at our multi-storey carpark(for me to brush up on my turning as daddy, like the instructor, noticed that I tend to slow down alot before a turn and they felt it's not necessary/a smooth drive with that).

My skincare order arrrived this noon, even though no record was shown when I checked on its status at Singpost's web. Good thing it arrived before we went out!

As the car was delivered with the fuel tank 1/4 filled and it's began to show 'low', dadddy wanted me to drive down to the kiosk so that I'll know how to go about it the next time. But due to the frantic fast walk this morning, my legs couldn't take the strain after the practices and I told him to take my car out hahaha.

With daddy feeling not entirely well and I've had a tired day, we ordered pizza for dinner :)
