The school hols are almost over..and most of it was really boring and depressing. Stupid H1N1 ! Because of some stupid virus, we've been stuck in Brunei and mainly stuck at home. It s also frustrating when I hear people who've come and gone overseas and, God bless them, are perfectly fine. But with 2 high risk kids, I'll give it a pass. I guess Takashimaya will still be there next holiday.
Am i paranoid? Call it what ever it is but I doubt those people who give me a weird look when i wipe down my supermarket trolley with baby wipes AND Eucalyptus disinfectant spray, will be there for me if my kids were sick and quarantined!
I also missed my first cousin's wedding in Singapore which was really frustrating as its been a while since I've seen my Singapore family. And as a precaution, I have also not attended ANY wedding or any enclosed area activities in Brunei. Tak Salam susah, Nak Salam pun susah, cant be pulling out my hand sanitiser every few minutes! Kiss Kiss lagi..
School starts in 10 days. Tim will be in Year 2 and Muhammad will be starting Pre-Kindy! I've started (well..asked the maid) sorting out their school stuff and labeling all of Muhammad's things right down to his undies). Next week when the Brunei Grand Sale starts, I will be (with a vengeance) buying new school shoes etc etc
Puasa's round the corner and I pray that I'll be strong and patient and hide all distracting items away before Imsak! hehehehhe...especially things that puff!
My Raya clothes should be ready by end of this month (Yes that early as u know I'm one of those ppl that send their fabrics to tailors at least 2 months before Raya) Call it anal if you want, I call it" I dont want the tailors to do a rush job on my clothes and I get frustrated the night before Raya".
Tonight, I made Tim get in bed by 8pm..well 815 by the time she stopped complaining that it was too early. Through out the whole holiday, she has been staying awake way past midnight! And so has Muhammad! So today, Muhammad went without his afternoon nap and fell asleep at 7pm. He's woken up once already at 830pm and I just heard a whimper...Must get bottle ready!
Well...My BIL went to KL and very kindly hand carried us some Krispy's..it was goooodd...but not as good as it would have been having one with you in KL!
Am very sorry but I havent called Nana yet..will do so sometime this week. Oh and a friend of mine who lives in Kl attended a cupcake course and showed some pictures on her FB. Its in Putra Jaya (is that far??) and the blog is bakeryproducts.blogspot.com. They have the cupcake boxes that I've been looking for.
Oh..and u know where I went for lunch today with TC and Tim..you wont believe it..Ms Lo and you like to go there..I'm not snobby just very particular. That Kway Teow place near Gadong River! Hahhahahaha....sorry mate..I could hardly swallow my food. Tim wasnt very impressed either. Before we decided to go there, we went to Thien Thien, Tim scrunched up her face and didnt even want to sit!
Oh and I beaded one of my baju kurungs! Heheheh..out of boredom mainly. I bought tiny tiny beads , semi precious stones and fresh water pearls. Took Lyn and me about 4 days in total. Couple of hours a day. Am tempted to do another one..hehehhe
Havent baked any new cupcakes since..umm..I dont know. But I bake something every Friday for Daddy the Gift Dragon to bring to golf on Saturday. Maybe i can convince Melly to hand carry some cupcakes for you on her next trip. My lemon bars are quite deelish I must say.
Yup..Dibo bought 3 cars and a laptop in the past 2 months. Dibo dibo dibo ding...
Miss you LOTS!
