Happy Days!

Happy days! I received my daughter's report card today and am absolutely proud to say that she has done exceedingly well! This is to say she had switch schools in the middle of a school year and moved countries at the same time! So great encouragement to know that she has settled in very well in all aspects!! Although her language skills in bahasa malaysia and mandarin are yet to be fully tested and utilised! ;-)
So, this means that the school year is coming to a close yet again! Whoa!! Where did all the time go? She will be starting secondary school next term! How scary is that thought!! Seriously, gosh! My baby is growing up!! Way too quickly!!

Anyways, so I have also been looking around for schools for my little one and i think i have sort of decided on the one he might go to.. but still have to call the school and have a visit session there soon!! This also means for me that my baby boy is also growing up! He is going to be 3 in a few months!! How did that happen???
However, he will most likely not start until sept/oct this year! Since Miks is on her holidays, it is better he stays home too and plus we might be making a trip home to Sibu! So at least i will have him home for a few more months!!

Lunch and a Margarita

Today, i had lunch with some yummy mommies from Miks school! We had fab smoked salmon and a lovely turkey ham quiche! Yummy!!
However, since i am not much of a drinker, the one single glass of margarita left me with hot flushes and a red face! Although, i must say, kudos to my friend S, who made it! It was fantastic!!! Although, the other after effect for me was a headache. Not as bad as the previous one i had but still there! There was also cake made by H, which was also great.. unfortunately i havent got any pictures of it all! Next time i must remember to take pictures!
Then we left to collect our girls from school after their rehearsal for the school show. It was pouring rain and i was rained on!!!
During all this, Max had been left home with granny and he had a blast of a time staying indoors! He planted with grandma and was proud to show me the stuff they had transplanted from small pot to a bigger one! He has also been busy painting with water color. I know for sure it is no Picasso but one has to start somewhere!! He does love his sessions! Actually, yesterday he got hand painted and face painted by sister dearest!!
I will really have to get pictures on here again! Once I have figured out how to maximise the storage space i have on my mac, it will be easier to download pics from the camera and eventually have them here!!

Headaches

After lunch yesterday, I had come down with a splitting headache. But yet managed to take the kids to Popular bookstore to pick up stuff that Miks needed for school. Mind you, it is not that she does have any of those things, she has loads of them but they are all sitting in the storage warehouse waiting. But what to do? She says she needs it even though school's out in 2 weeks for her for summer! We spent about 1.5hrs in Popular in which she spent time reading a book. And I spent it looking and running after Max that he does not destroy the displays and looking at cook books that I can only salivate looking at for now. Mental note to self, remember to go and get more cookbooks to try out after we move into our place!
Anyways, back to the headache, came home after dinner and had to go and sleep pretty much right away! Not very often i feel like that... but last night was horrible.. ended up with my dinner back up and had to pop a couple of tylenol tabs to feel better and manage to sleep with that! Hopefully this is a rare occurrence. Cant manage to feel like that too often!
