Move 2012

Wow! I noticed that I have not updated this in ages!

Time for a quick update! We have now moved from Aberdeen to Kuala Lumpur. We have been here since March 2012 and it has been an interesting move so far! Coming home to Malaysia after living abroad for the past 10 years certainly has it advantages and also disadvantages! Still in the process of buying a place to call our own and I am hoping that it will happen sooner rather than later!! 
Other than that, we have now Mikayla in school and she is certainly enjoying it! She has been in this new school for 1 term and by gosh! We are nearing the end of term!!! The good thing about this is that she has made friends here and is certainly adapting well to the weather! Education wise, there were adjustments needed for her. Though she is in an International School, she is required by the Malaysian Education Department to learn Bahasa Malaysia! Something that she has not learnt before due to our own lack of usage of the language whilst we have been away! So good times ahead for her! Hope that she will learn and use the language at some point soon! She is getting better at understanding and knowing the words.. so that is a start! I am hoping she will be able to converse in simple malay language before the end of the year! 
As for Max, he is definitely enjoying being home with mommy and grandma! As we are staying temporarily at my mom's till we secure our own place, he gets to hang out with grandma alot especially when mommy has to go and get errands done!! He is becoming quite a talker and he enjoys company! One other thing we have noticed that he likes are flowers! Maybe this is a sign that he will be a romantic when he is older! Fingers crossed! Need to however get him into a school when he turns 3! Maybe even slightly before that! I seriously need to get my backside going and looking for places for him!
