Easter Morning Tea at Numdaji Kwei

Today I was invited to join Zade for morning tea at Numdaji Kwei. It was in conjuntion with Easter which will be celebrated this weekend. When I came by around 9.30 am, most other parents in the babies room were already there. Zade was excited to see me again so soon after I dropped him off this morning. While Zade and his friends were having their vegemite and cheese toast with sultanas, the parents were served with hot cross bun and o.j. Very nice as it was served warm with some butter. After tea, I spent some time reading and playing with Zade outside in the playground. I left around 10.30 am and head back to the office.

Anniversary

Today is my 8th wedding anniversary. And it's the 2nd one in Melbourne without Danial. Only God knows how hard it is being seperated but I know that it's all part of the big plan. Danial and I have been through a lot of good times, bad times, laughter and tears. I know that God has chosen the best mate for me and I'm thankful for everything I have in life. I have come this far, alhamdulillah, and I pray for many more anniversaries.

I love you and I longed to be with you again. Happy Anniversary Sayang.

Farewell Yeo, Chit, Joshua and Justin

Chit's family used to live across from our old apartment. We we're neighbours for almost a year. Chit was very helpful especially with advise on how to raise a baby here and also she gave me tons of Joshua's clothes for Zade to wear. Her husband Yeo is a PhD student at RMIT, and he finally submitted his thesis last week. They will be leaving Melbourne to go back home. So today Aileen, May, Tien, myself and the kids had a little get together with them at Unimews to bid them farewell. I wish your family all the best. Thank you for all your help and for being wonderful friends. I hope that we'll meet again when I go home to Malaysia, and may our friendship continue to grow.

Alyssa's Birthday Party at Wriggle It

Zade received an invitation to Alyssa's birthday party at the Wriggle It Play Centre. Alyssa is May and Tien's daughter. She turns 4 today. The party started at 2 pm, but we went after Zade woke up from his nap. We arrived around 3 pm, just in time for snacks and birthday cake. Zade and I gave Alyssa a Barbie musical box which we got from Target the week before. There were a lot of familiar faces there. Keanne and Layan from Unimews, Joshua and Justin were there too. I had a chance to catch up with the moms. After cake, Zade had fun chasing balls and running around the playground. We left with a ggody bag filled with lollies, toy and balloon.

Around Bundoora West Campus

This afternoon, I finally made my way to the west campus. The hub have e-mailed me twice since two weeks ago asking me to pick up my new insurance card. I actually go to the west campus each time I drop off Zade at the chilc care, I was just too lazy to stop by the hub. Anyways, since it was a really lovely day today, I took Zade along so that we could enjoy a nice walk around the campus.

Zade and Elmo

Zade just loves Elmo. It started with a book that Aidan left behind in Malaysia. Then it was Elmo's dvd which he asks me to put on everyday. Now he has an Elmo soft toy which he saw at Target and insisted that I get it for him. He is very attached to it. He cleans it, feeds it and sleep with it. As you can see, Zade also watches Elmo on dvd with Elmo.
