Yesterday, as the nation took their rest from all the activities and celebrations leading up to the NDP (National Day Parade) on Saturday, Di and I had to work extra hard on Ya Ya’s off day because we didn't ask for any help this time. Well, Di’s 104 year old grandma is hospitalised (in coma, to be exact) so his parents were busy. Gong Gong, on the other hand, caught a cold and we felt he needed a good rest.
Moreover, its been a really long time since we last spent a day together as a family. Yes, I mean, just the 4 of us – Di, me, En & Xuan. It was tiring as we brought the munchkins for a near 2-hour morning walk, and then an evening walk which lasted about an hour. But we enjoyed the day thoroughly, though I hope it doesn't become a daily thing. Hahaha…
You know, Ya Ya was sweet enough to have showered the munchkins and cooked their lunch before she left for her once-a-month break. I get to skip the laundry and cooking chores altogether, and yet I still felt exhausted at the end of the day as compared to the usual routine. So can you imagine if I had to juggle those duties as well? Arrggghhhh!!! Help!!!
By now, I must confess I’m one of those who cannot live without my helper. Not just any helper, but in particular, our beloved Ya Ya. Kudos to all the domestic helpers out there who made our lives a lot more manageable, agree???!!! I was very glad to have Ya Ya back at home last night. Very, very glad indeed…

Yup. With a good domestic helper our lives are so much easier. We really appreciate having Ani around especially now that the Mrs is pregnant again.
I have to care for her as she is weak and nauseous most of the time so Ani will have to take care of Isaac and the housework.
While I managed fine the first time round I cannot imagine not having Ani around for this pregnancy.
Hi Dylan
You're absolutely right! I can't imagine going back to my books next year without my helper around to care for my girls. She's really God-sent.
And I believe having Ani around also makes you feel more at peace when you need to take a short break? My husband could actually doze off on the couch when my helper takes care of the kids while I'm out do marketing! Hee...
Our helpers are really god-sent. :)
Yes, indeed! I'm sure you and I appreciate our helpers all the more since both of us have twins. Really can't imagine life without them! ^.^
