Busy Saturday

we started the day early. got the boys ready for an outing. as usual, an outing that was supposed to start at 9am started at 10am, even though the boys were ready by 745am.

we went to lake gardens to meet hafiz and his friend. havent been there for ages. due to the heat, hafiz suggested we stop after an hour.

















then off to tssc's house for debt repayment. its rambutan season...my favourite fruit. we left with 2 bags of rambutan and a little something from tssc's nursery.



















had a quick lunch and then got the boys to go to bed.

we had dinner at dot's house for her hubby's birthday. kudos to dot for the wonderful spread and the yummy cake and the lovely door gift and especially the companion. hope the birthday boy had fun!

Hari Kecemerlangan Pelajr 2008

amir had his hari kecemerlangan pelajar (such a mouthful) on saturday. he's been practising for weeks. i thought he would be singing the ayam itik song but i found out he was to sing another song.

waiting for the event to start was a torture. even before it started asyraf was throwing a fit. ariff was his usual cool self, as long as he had something in his hand and in his mouth.

his headmistress gave a speech at the start of the event. amir's 2 favourite teachers were the mc - cikgu huda and cikgu fatim.





















the toddler class gave the first performance (complete with tears) and amir's playgroup class was the 2nd to go on stage. they sang sayang ibu song (with asyraf as a back-up dancer on the side) and the apple song (which amir wouldnt sing - he says he doesnt like it).



















amir got no 9 during his mid-year exams so he got a consolation priza. i loved the 4-5 year old performance. they were so cute!

















we left early...all because of asyraf. on the way home the boys slept, so hubby said we'll drive around first. went to the aussino sale and bought bedsheets for the boys. so cheap and nice!

Just The Two Of Us

hubby and i took leave on tuesday. went out just the two of us. lots of plans were made, most of them didnt materialise, due to malas-ness and sleepiness.

we went to settle our quit rent and assessment at mbsa. we dont pay at the counter, usually, but we wanted to make sure they update our particulars as we've not been getting the payment advice since last year. i also wanted to collect my cheque book but the bank seemed so far away.

next was ikano and the curve. the top of my list was brand's outlet - but it was closed till 12pm for stock take - so hubby and i spent over an hour at popular book store. bought some heavy reading for us - it doesnt get any heavier than hubby's dictionary - and some light reading for amir and asyraf.

















then a quick stop at world of cartoons (i need to get the pooh pajamas for the boys) and aussino (mental note to get those nice bedsheet set for the boys' room next month). as i walked pass mum's care, this jumperoo caught my attention. i want i want i want (note - i also saw it at isetan yesterday...stop following me u evil jumperoo!!) then off to brands outlet. after hassling with hubby on so many things - colours, pictures, elmo or thomas, tiak or no tiak - we finally decided on 3 tops each.

















finally...we've been waiting for this...hubby and i had our lunch at bubba gump. we sat there for a long time, enjoying our food and reading. of course the boys were never far away as they were our main topic of conversation. i love the concept of the place. foodwise, ok lah, but i will opt for the shrimp alone next time.

















after lunch, we discarded our plans to watch a movie and went home.

that night we took our time with the boys. no need to rush as we prepared everything before we went out to pick them up.
