This Week

Hard to believe it's the end of the week already! It seems like everyday something is going on.

So far, this week, we've managed to get Abang to nap in the afternoon on Monday and Wednesday. Yes, that in itself is cause for celebration.

Then on Wednesday, since he had a good nap and was feeling quite refreshed I took him to the nearby driving range to pukul bola. We'd never been to this driving range before but since it's open to the public and much, much closer than going to the club, I thought we'd try it out.

Abang did really well! He hit 50 balls and hit most of them on the first try, and even hit some pretty good ones. Definitely an improvement.

Then, yesterday, we decided to go to Atok's house for the afternoon. Wan and Adik have been cooped up at home from Monday to Wednesday so it was nice for them to get out. I napped with Adik at Atok's house since he'd been having some very restless nights lately, and one night he wouldn't fall asleep until 10:30pm! When we both woke up, Abang had finished his Mandarin homework with Cikgai and we were ready to go to the club.

We had an old couch and carpet that we wanted to give away, and Atok had inquired at the caddy hut at the club and they were happy to have it. Man, I was so pleased to have a big van that could fit the boys, Wan and me AND the couch, carpet, PLUS Abang's golf bag.

Did I mention Abang has a golf bag and some clubs? We got some very good deals on used children's clubs at KinderGolf (http://www.kindergolf.com/) at 1Utama. He's so pleased with them he even carries it around himself. Which IS a big deal.


In the meantime, Adik has been a pretty well-adjusted boy, considering his lack of sleep. Yesterday morning he hopped merrily by himself into the kindergarten from the car. It's really nice when I fetch them from kindergarten, they yell "BYE" to their friends, and all the kids waiting out there yell back, in unison, "BYEEEEEE!!!!" It's kinda cute.

Then, finally, yesterday, Daddy got his birthday cake. I was supposed to make it last Friday but it was Report Card Day and I had to take Abang to his his pediatrician. (Funny how that happens.)

As requested, I made an orange cake with chocolate icing. But I find the orange cake is a little 'padat' and not as fluffy. So maybe next time I'll try a chocolate cake with orange icing instead.
