Apa cerita?

Apa Cerita? - what's news? with me here. Been busy that's all I can say. :) Really not an excuse. Though I must admit in those busy times I did have a few pockets of free time but I filled them up doing something else which I really need to do or have to do. I went to learn rollerblading with Mr.H and BZ which ended up with a painful backside. I don't think I'd be rollerblading for another 2 - 3 weeks (and without a 'butt protector :D ). I could not get up on Monday and I took a day off. But since they needed me at work so I went the next day.

 Yesterday I went on a 6-7 hours hike to csobanka with ex-colleagues. Returned home and got ready to visit family friend because there was a M'sian girl coming over to visit too. Came back home near to midnight. After last weeks, backside busting incident today I woke up with sore leg muscles. Just great... :( It's Pentecost holiday here today so I'm grateful. If not, I know I would have a hard time waking up in the morning and working whole day. Only uncool thing about Public holiday is that every shopping places is close for the day. Well, starting from yesterday in fact. So no checking out the ipod dock which I have been wanting to for ages. Not to mention that we have nearly an empty fridge.

 I do have babysitting work in the afternoon. Well, meeting up with a friend with her son and let the kids play together. BZ comes back in the evening from her grandma's so tomorrow the entire cycle of waking up go to work, pick BZ up, go to sleep starts again. :) Life ain't easy.

Children Malay song.

Sadly I must admit, I know more English children songs than Malay ones. At first I don't know why it is so. Maybe because I learn more English kids songs due to my work? or because there aren't really many kid's songs in Malay?

Bonnie's teachers requested that she sings a Malay song for the year end ceremony. I was in a dilemma. LOL Because I only know one song well. Which is the " Pelangi, Pelangi" song. I heard it a long time ago on an Islamic children program back in Malaysia. A program which I watched with Bonnie rather often when she was still a baby.  Anyhow... we still have a week or so to practice. I just hope I don't have to end up being in front of a class full of kids and parents and grandparents to help her sing the song together. :P Stage fright. :D

Weird weather.

It is 8 pm and it is still bright outside. Seems like Summer is getting closer yet we need to turn on the heater today because it's a chilly day. Weird weather we're having these days. Last week, some days it really felt like summer as it went up to 36 degrees celcius. This week it has been cloudy and cold every day. Gosh, I really want Spring back.

I'm not looking forward much to Summer though after the heat we experienced last week. Well, only a little because of the Summer break.

Thank goodness it is Friday tomorrow. My favourite day of the week. :) Well, not that I don't have work to do on Saturday. Tutoring and important meeting with friends. Not to mention looking around for kids wagon - need to join with the current one we have with a turnbuckle or a chain for taking kids out on excursions.

Old stuff.

After years and years of neglect, I finally checked out my photobucket account - when I saw it on my bookmark today. It's like finding old trinkets in grandma's attic. :D Same excitement I had when I checked out a box that I hadn't opened for years to find all the things I used to use back in Malaysia. My old wallet, my jusco card,  even the contactless cards like the touch-n-go and the s'pore mrt card - a silver bracelet that I bought myself when I was a student.... I didn't even remember I had them.

 Anyhow on Photobucket, I found these animated gifs and photoshopped pictures I made back in the days when I was just a SAHM, back in the hair-tearing days when you needed to design your blog manually. Gosh I miss those days.

Mothers' day gift

Though Mother's day was celebrated last Sunday but they did an early event at the kindergarten. Here is what I got from Bonnie. :)

School

Bonnie will be going to school this September. Quite a few of her classmates in kindy are going to the same school. Yes, we've already decided on which school - which was not that difficult to choose as we chose of course the closest. :D But then it is also because many people have told us that the school is pretty good. They have at least 2 -3 times more applications than they could accommodate each year. So much the better for me that way,since asking me which is a good school in Budapest is just like asking me about the best flavored cigars. I simply have not much clue. Here the school prioritizes English, so many of the subjects are taught in English. However each class has a major on certain subjects. We picked Drama for Bonnie. Well, she is quite a drama queen (which little girl isn't :D) She loves acting or play pretend so we thought that it'll do good for her self esteem. That's what we hope for at least.

Lazy day.

Today was a really lazy, lazy day that I almost feel bad about it. Well, almost. It's not like I always have lazy days these days. But then again, I still do feel a little bit of guilt for wasting away plenty of time doing nothing productive.

Tomorrow is the last day of the long weekend. Then it's back to work!
