Luckily for him, he is going to Australia, not Africa, so not much hardship on his side.
At home, mommy has to take over the chauffeur job of sending Kathleen to child care in the morning before rushing to work. Clocked a total of 2800km of driving during those few weeks! Mommy also cannot go back to office to work during weekends which means tougher time management!
For Kathleen, she has to wake up earlier since mommy work regular working hours. The poor gal and mommy just catch up on those missing beauty sleep on weekends :P And Kathleen had to follow mommy on all her wild trips all over the island on weekends to visit friends, look for the perfect bicycle, went Sentosa etc all using public transport (cos mommy got so sick of driving, she prefers to take the public transport where she can talk to Kathleen and show her things and play with her).
Mommy also got a children ezlink card for Kathleen.
Kathleen misses daddy and catches up with him by skyping with him during the weekend, when she will show him the new things she get (eg, birthday goodie bags, McDonald's free toys etc). And Kathleen also entertained herself in the car by recording her voice on mommy's handphone
Good thing she enjoyed is that she gets to share the king size bed at home with mommy (no more squeezing with daddy) but not good is that the lizard gets the upper hand at home! :P The house is also alot neater without daddy leaving his things around, and the tv only gets turned on twice in those 6 weeks!
Then one Friday night in end July, all this ends as Kathleen and mommy went to Changi Airport (via bus!) to pick up daddy, and now the days of slightly more sleep, squeezing in the bed, playing on samsung galaxy tab, messy house, TV perpetually on all the time, being chauffeured by a more experienced driver are back again.
And the lizard seems to know that it no longer has the upper hand and did not appear again (so far).
