I know… I am most inconsistent with posting on this blog, you’ll have to excuse me I’ve been so busy the last 2 weeks… with raya, birthdays, more birthdays, change of school and also work.
I’ve received a notice from my host provider that they are moving their servers to somewhere more secure so this move will make all my sites inaccessible for updates for a whole week, so I am trying to sneak this post in today before I get locked out of my own website soon.
Here goes … starting from 1 oct.
We went raya visiting at an old employee’s house in Gombak on Raya morning. We left our house pretty early at around 10am and even though we had been to her house before we ended up getting lost AGAIN!! (this happened the first time too!) So after driving around most of Gombak for like 10 mins I called for directions (so shy) and we finally got to our intended destination at 11am. We sat around and caught up because I had not seen her since I sold the cafe 3 years ago, the boys were keeping their mouths busy with chocolate and cookies! (lots of it)
Then we headed into the kitchen for this…(Kak Yah was my chief cook when I ran my cafe & catering business)
The food was so yummy!! oohh…there was lemang too but we did not take a picture of it. After we had our fill, Kak Yah even gave us more food to take away (again so shy…). Since we were so close to 1 Utama, we decided to spend the rest of the day there.
We had dinner with Chris’ dad and family that night at a chinese restaurant in SS2 and the following day at Pangkor seafood in Taman Megah. So wednesday, thursday and then friday we did celebrated Aaron’s 2nd birthday at Fullhouse in NZX near Ara Damansara.
Here is a picture of me and the boys, we shot a video too but I have not edited it yet, will do it soon I promise and post it here.
Aaron had a wonderful time and was quite delighted that we sang happy birthday twice (you can see this when you view the video which I’ll post here in another post). The next day he actually said “Aaron… Koko…Mummy…Daddy…Kakak go Happee Day.” He can’t say Happy Birthday yet, he can only say Happy Day (lol). After his birthday dinner we came home and I gave them both a lollipop each, so the boys were even more delighted! The wonders of the lollipop…
We did nothing on saturday which was good as we really needed a break from all that restaurant food and then on sunday the 5th we went to church as usual and then headed on over to Tony Roma’s to celebrate my brother’s Happy Day!
After gorging ourselves too full, we then took some pictures (just a tip, make sure you order way less than what you need if you go to Tony Romas because the portions will shock you!)
Can you see, we are like so sick from an overdose of food… and there is still more food leftover! This picture was taken from the top of Aaron’s pram on automatic and yes the pram is red.
After all that food we had to “walk it off” around Sunway Pyramid and we ended up buying Ethan a pair of Clarks. This was sunday right, so for the next whole week (which was last week) he bugged me everyday wanting to wear his new shoes. He wanted to wear them whenever we stepped out of the house. So here is a picture of him wearing them 6 days later on saturday night when we were going out to Subang Parade.
Can you see the delight on Ethan’s face? 
The Monday after Tony Roma’s Chris talked me into sending Ethan back to school as we had already paid more than 100 bucks for his concert which is supposed to be held in November. Chris also felt that it is good for his socialising skills so I said ok why not… it won’t hurt to send him for the next 2 months. So Chris sent him to school in the morning and I turned up at noon to pick him up as usual. To my dismay, his knees we literally filthy and his white school shoes looked like they were worn for a week already. (this is monday only!!!!)
He came home sat down at the dining table and gobbled down his lunch to my surprise, so I asked him what he had for break in school. He said they gave him one of those salty crackers coated in sugar…I said… “IS THAT ALL?” Can you believe it…one piece of square biscuit that even I would not buy for our house…
So I made the decision that night after talking it over with Chris, I was going right to the New School - The Core in USJ11 to see if they will take him right smack in the middle of term. So that is exactly what I did and I went back to his old school to collect his things and we said goodbye to that filthy school.
I told the administrator of the new school about my concerns with the previous school and they said that they would help him with catching up with all the reading.
To my amazement, after only 1 week at this new school Ethan has a whole new outlook about reading and he now loves to read compared to just a week before when he did not even want to read 2 pages of Peter & Jane. His new teacher Ng, is quite dedicated even writes short notes in his Peter & Jane book to mark his progress so that we can read it and today Ethan came home with 4 stars for todays’ reading. Yes… I am a proud parent!!!!!
So last week I was pretty much spending my time ferrying him to school and settling all his fees and uniforms and blah blah…blah…ooo books too… So much for home schooling….HAHAHA…
This week I’ve had my head in work trying to make up for 2 weeks ‘leave’ that I’ve taken, so far this months sales has taken a direct hit from the world financial crisis as I think people are just scared to spend money just incase the worse is not over… so sales figures are at an all time low for this year.
I’ll have a few videos to edit and post here over the next few posts, so look out for them!
