Mad rush to get forms filled

Some private schools have put out their registration forms in Colombo, so all hell broke loose at the our household. Frantic calls to hubby’s cousin ensued who was put on duty to report to us if this happens (and who dutifully did) to make sure the form arrives in Singapore in time.

Isn’t DHL tracking a wonderful thing? The forms were DHLed and we could track the movement of the form every step of the way. So one form was filled and send back to cousin dearest to hand deliver to school with us checking the progress of the delivery like watching a cricket match. Imagine the cousin dearest’s surprise when hubby was on the phone asking whether it has arrived, when our computer screen showed that it has been picked up by Sumaneshwaran, and hubby says “It’s OK, Sumaneshwaran has just signed and picked it up!” She was like, “Ha? How do you know my helpers name?” ;o)

So, the next form from another school has just arrived and one of Hub's colleagues has picked it up and I know his name! ;o)
