Short Takes

Short Take #1: Merdeka!

Our Merdeka celebration: Since the boys had a late nap and woke up only about 6pm, I though we could go out to watch some fireworks. So grandpa, grandma the two boys and I drove up to a hill somewhere in Cheras to have a clear view of the Petronas Twin Towers. Much to our disappointment, there was no fireworks. It was only later through e-mail, that I found out that there was a fiesta down at the twin towers and fireworks were only let off at about 1am. We were all in bed by then.






Short Take #2: Swiss Ms

Got a post card from my old pal (she is actually half Swiss) who was in Switzerland for a family reunion. Great to get something lovely and personal in the mail box rather than all the junk mails and bills.

Thanks, Lynn.







Short Take #3: Ikea

We went to Ikea today to look at some shelves and a table for me, which we need desperately to get My world a bit more organised. The boys had fun running through all the "rooms". Finally we took off for a late lunch at FastaPasta (great food, but the drinks burned a big hole in the wallet). By then Micah was tired and, complaining of a tooth ache, fell asleep and missed all the good stuff. Max ate well and after a while realised the brother was missing. "Koh-koh?" he asked, gesturing empty hands. Then when daddy told him where Micah was, Max was delighted to discover his brother fast asleep on the seat. Glad we took the booth seats.
