Sudden changes

Suddenly, our Wish came true. Ben's dad called during lunch yesterday and asked us to go to Tagore coz he's looking at either a Wish or Honda Stream. To cut the long story short, we committed to a Toyota Wish XE 1.8L (Light Grey that doesn't look very grey). It's been our dream to get this car coz our Mazda can't ferry anyone once the family loads up, and we hate that. Actually, we've died to that idea coz when Ben's dad first saw the Wish, he wasn't overly impressed with it and wanted to get a Picnic instead (which is supposedly the same car actually! but more conventional looking). So the two men didn't get any coz they couldn't agree. Oh well. Then suddenly - many months later (FIL has been scouting around actually!) and got us there. It was totally amazing.

Another thing - my MIL's maid has been on our nerves for the longest time, so much so that we're pretty numb to it. Initially we really wanted her out - even wanted to install CCTV to 'catch her' etc... but also died to the ideas. And then - when she went for her medical check up on thursday, the pregnancy test kit showed "+". She even wanted the doc NOT to tell my MIL! Oh well. She says that it's her hubby's (he came to singapore) - they did it on Hari Raya which was on 24 Oct 2006. (Check up was on 22 Nov.) You do the math. My aunt asked, "Her hubby sent his sperm here uh?" Not too long ago, she said that he had run away with some other woman. It's all too confusing. Anyway she's gone back. Seems she wanted to abort the foetus and had wanted her friend to deliver the abortion medicine here, which ruffled my FIL's feathers. He said if she wants to do it, go back Indo to do it, but not in the house. Seems she's bent on it. Hopefully the saga has ceased. They're getting a new maid, and MIL is rather pleased with the new one after the interview last night - doesn't like long hair, walks fast, can cook (but Indo food). We're 'encouraging' ours to be on her best behaviour so that the new one won't adopt the nasty generational attitude towards my MIL.

Things are looking upwards. :)
