Getaway, Short Break, Family Break

2 main goals for the rest of the year:

1) A short getaway with Nick

2) A family getaway with the kids and if possible, with friends

So I am shortlisting a few places:
- Bangkok
- Penang
- Hong Kong
- Perth
- Tokyo

???? Any suggestions? I want cheap and good packages! :D

It's racing time!

Nat and Matt had their Sports Day recently in Sept. It's funny to see the small kids running in races and half the time I think most of them don't even know what they are running for.

This is a video of a race between Matthias' N1 class - Hope and anther N1 class - Joy. The kids are just following the teachers' instructions and what other kids are doing. Guess it's a fun and interactive way for them to learn how to listen and follow instructions. Amidst the smothering early sun, the kids actually ran and completed their activities.. Kudos to them, esp the 3 yr olds!

As for Nat, her race involves alittle bit more hands and eye co-ordinations. She had to run to a point, roll the ball in her hand and try to knock down the cans that are placed a distance away.
Pls ignore the later part of the video.. which was due to a small commotion from Matthias (he had a fright when he realised I wasn't around him).

It was a fun day.. but as the weather was pretty hot that day, i tried to keep the kids under the shade most of the time. Even though they had other races that invites parents and even had a 'sibilings' race, we did not participate. A reason was because I was there alone with the 2 kids. Well, not exactly alone with the teachers around.. but you know..the kids will stick to me if I am there even when their class is around. To top it all, Nick was down with a nasty flu bug that day.. so despite the fun, it was also tiring rushing around like a mad dog.

Cos after the morning sports day, I got to rush off to bring Nick to the clinic, then rush off to another appointment in the afternoon. In short, a tiring off day!

Sleeping Beauty zzz....

Matt fall asleep while he was watching tv in the afternoon. It's a funny sight. One minute he was watching.. the next few minutes, he was fast asleep! Don't u find my boy is so cute? :p

I can't wait.. for Christmas 2009

Yes. I suddenly can't wait for Christmas to arrive this year. I miss the festive season. I miss catching up with frens and family. I love the holiday season and mood on Christmas eve, day and many days after. ;)

O holy night...
