7. The Mad Dog

Dear Daddy,

I've just been to see a doctor again. He checked my eye and told me that my it's getting better. Steve had to come too because we both have to have some mad dog shots today. We have to get a certificate for a proof that we're not mad dogs otherwise we can't enter to ENGLAND!

As usual, the doctor had a lot of trouble trying to examine Steve! Poor doctor... (He told me I was good girl though!) Mummy looked so tired from carrying him, holding him, while trying to talk and write at the same time. Poor mummy, she had to go to work after that. 

To be honest with you, Daddy, I think Steve is actually a mad dog. The test will show that he's positive for it. That means he can't come to England with us, doesn't it? Poor him...

Anyway daddy, I'm going to be a good girl as always and help mummy so don't worry about us. Speak to you soon!

LOVE From Momo

6. My Project

Dear Darling,

Hi, how are you? This is your lovely wife!

Thank you for calling me everyday and thank God for Skype...technology is great, isn't it? But don't worry about me too much. You have lots to do there, especially now, and I'm doing fine here. That was my choice too, for you to go there first...

After you left, I asked myself many times. "Is finishing this project worth not being with you?"... I have been a bit depressed and getting weak. (It wasn't the only reason, as you know, but a big part of it.)

Today, I had a half-way inspection at the site. (They check that everything is built to specification.) After that, somehow I realized I really love my Job. I have to see it through till the end of this project. I don't know if it's going to be exactly how I wanted or not but the important thing is that I complete it before I leave. I still have so many troubles and difficulties at the moment but if I don't finish it and just quit, I'll regret that.

Sorry about moaning and being unhappy recently... I almost gave up. I want to try again if it's not too late. I'll finish this and come to you with my head held high. Is that okay with you? I'm going to tell my company that I will quit after this project, then maybe they will fire me! Untill then I would like to see it through to completion!

Speak soon!

4. Two Great Things

Dear Daddy,

Hello, it's Steve again. Today's Sunday, that means mummy's day off!! I've been so excited since I got up in this morning. I monitored her every movement and followed her everywhere she went because sometimes she forgets and goes out without me! In the morning she did some house work... I waited so patiently. Then Aunty S came. They talked, talked and talked... but I waited calmly. Finally, they took us to S-Pulse Dream Plaza for the second week in a row! It was worth waiting for.

It wasn't only great thing today, Mummy took us for a second long walk to the beach in the evening, too! Now, I'm so happy and a bit tired... bit sleepy... Zzzzzzzzz...

3-1. Who's on the diet?

Dear Daddy,
It was so nice talking to you on the phone last night. We'd just had a walk when you called and so it was really good timing! Why? I'll explain why...

Mummy looked exhausted when she came back from work. She fed us but after we'd eaten there was no sign of going for our 'after dinner walk'. So I nagged her and begged her to go... Finally she took us.(thank God!) On our walking route, there is a Lawson convenience store, right? She went there and bought bunch of snacks! She is supposed to be on a diet, isn't she? 
I don't care if she is fat or skinny, in fact I prefer women who have a bit of meat on them. What I can't stand is when she is over weight, because she gets so negative and moans about her self! (You know exactly how I feel, don't you?) Then... you called us! After that she decided she wouldn't eat all snacks she bought. That's the story I wanted tell you.

"...but some of them have to be eaten otherwise they're going to go bad,aren't they !? " She ate some roll cake and éclair after all...

Can I help you?

Get well soon!

Hi Momo,

Sorry to hear about your eye. Hope it gets better soon! I like your idea about the desktop picture, but it's probably better if you don't tell Steve. You know how he is!

This weekend is your Granddad's 70th birthday party. I'll send you photos!

Wish you were here!
