But that wasn't the end of the celebration. Two days later, the wife planned a surprise outing. It was to be a mini golf activity near Boat Quay. We arrived at noon and there was an element of puzzle as the game area was decorated like an escape room. There were 18 holes with various degrees of difficulty and as we passed through, clues were scattered around. In the end, the kids had much fun and didn't focus on solving the mystery. After a late lunch at Publico, everyone got home full and contented.
Once in a while, things happen. The car battery died while the wife was at a mall. It's my fault as I wanted it to last another two months before replacing, so the delay cost me an additional $80 for onsite assistance. My helper needed a loan as her son's agriculture business collapsed due to persistent unfavorable weather. We agreed to advance her salary by six months. To end on a positive note, I finally convinced myself to purchase a putter and set of second hand golf irons to hopefully play better. With proper maintenance, they should last a lifetime so I take it as a long term investment.
