An early day at last

After working for almost 2 months, today was the first day I managed to finish my work and leave early. All the month-end tasks and reports are done. Tomorrow my boss would review my work and he'd go on leave for a week. I think I would go home early next week too.

I have been buying one-way tickets to work and take taxi home. But just now, I bought myeself a weekly ticket. Having been taking taxi for the last 2 months, I find tkaing train back a little uncomfortable. So many people waiting for the train today, not helped with the extra pilgrims from World Youth Day. I managed to sneak into my train, but I know many peopel couldn't get into their trains earlier. I'm not sure if I want to leave earlier now...

This Saturday, hubby and I are thinking of visiting a GP for consultation before we decide on what to do next (IVF or other treatments). Hubby wants to start later but I fear my 'egg' will deteriorate if we don't start early. Furthermore, treatments may take long to see the results.

Good news to my neighbourhood, Ari, my Indonesian friend (Antepe group) moved to the estate. He rents out his apartment in Eastern Suburb and rent a house from his child's day-carer (who owns 3 houses in the same 'hood!). So that'll make 3 of 5 of Antepe live here and 4 of 5 live around Sydney West, with Hartono living in same estate and Wendy living in a nearby suburb. Only Agung lives in Sydney South.

He moved house last Sat and a few of his church's friends came to help. Hubby and I couldn't help as we had visitors (2) from Singapore and Adelaide. Hartono's baby's sick so he couldn't be there too, but his wife coooks for Ari dinner for Sat night. I picked up Siomay Bandung from Meryl (7-mth pregnant lady I mentioned on previous entry) and it was a lot, so I shared it with Ari and Hartono. It's so happened that Hartono's wife made Bahkut Teh (M'sian style) so she passed some to me too. Now that we live closer to each other, hopefully it'll be easier to meet over the weekend for gatherings. Hope Ari will throw housewarming party soon...

Although Agung lives quite far away, he works in the city and he and Hartono meet almost everyday for lunch and I join occassionally. Agung's bank has regular offer to buy Woolies or Coles gift card at 5% discount and Hartono and I ordered $300-$400 Woolies gift card from him for 1 month's expenses ( supermarket and petrol). Now we need to ask Ari if he wants to buy some too.
