This was another "Double Merlion show" but this time in public. 

Remember the time when Bray was so sick, he vomited in the middle of the night. He did managed to run to the toilet, but didn't manage to get the vomit into the toilet bowl. So the whole floor was full of vomit. Then Bev suddenly turned up, was happily cheering and stepping on the vomit. I was screaming at the sight of her. But it was too late. When she realized that it was vomit that she stepped, she started vomiting on the floor too. At that point, I just gave up and let them finished their mini-Merlions show. 

This time, Bev was complaining that she didn't feel to well on her stomach after dinner. She asked to be piggy-back. While walking home, she vomited on the path. She started crying, we quickly sprayed some water to remove the vomit and continue heading home. Bray who was a few seconds behind us, caught up and started vomiting too. This two... how many times do they need to perform their "Double Merlion show"? 

Something else happened at work this week. 

While eating lunch at workplace, there was a sudden commotion right behind my seat. I turned around to see a woman fainted in her seat, her fingers were tightened in a stiff position. Another woman helpless, looked like a colleague of hers in tears, desperately hugged her, massaged her, whispered for her to wake up. She seek help from the crowd to call an ambulance. 

I watched helplessly as my heart raced in silence. Two young men stepped-up to help the woman. In 10 minutes, the ambulance arrived at the scene. The fainted woman was carried and laid on the floor. The paramedic quickly hooked-up the woman to the portable emergency equipment and breathing mask. Then at that moment, what I saw broke my heart. The woman, although unconscious, had a tear streamed down her cheek. It must have been difficult for her to not be able to control what she was going through. My tears gushed down. It was hard to watch, but knowing she's getting all the help needed was a relief. 

Some good things happened this week too. 

We went to Jurong Lake Garden and the Clusia Cove was opened. It has been under maintenance for awhile. The children enjoyed playing in the sand. 

I volunteered to be in a feedback video for Bray's swimming school. Attended first Parent Teacher Meeting of the year. 

Finished another book "Psychology of Money". The book is divided to 20 individual chapters and can be read independently. I particularly find the chapters "Never Enough, Confounding Compounding, Getting Wealthy vs Staying Wealthy, Tails You Win, You'll Change" particularly rewarding are good takeaways. 

Money sense is a behavior and not simple science, formula or mathematics put together.
