2012

Happy New Year. A new year with new hopes and wishes. My new years resolution is to try and be more organised. Easier said and done. Already a month has already gone by into the new year and I am finding that life is still kinda upside down. Lil K has started Kindi again and is now in the 6 years groups. He is really happy about being in the "Mushu Class" (little red dragon from Mulan). Getting up on the morning of the first day back to kindi was kind of slow. Then with the promise that he could wear his new Ben10 shoes (which has blinking light) everything went smoothly. So this year there are many new exciting things we are getting involved in. We have signed Lil K up for piano lessons and fun art classes. Raju Tata was our kind Angel who bought Lil K an electrical piano for Christmas. We got the Casio AP220 and it fits well in our tiny apartment. For the time being Lil K is just tinkering on it whenever he feels like it. Its fun seeing him pretend he is playing a master piece. Maybe I have a future composer on my hands. Lessons starts in February as I wanted to start after the Chinese New Year Holidays.

We have also started going for Bahasa and Maths Tuition. Tuition is with Lil K's Aunty Miss P. Her Bahasa is excellent and I couldn't have found him a better teacher. His first tuition lesson was on Wednesday. We went up to the house  she teaches at and for the first time I saw Lil K being afraid of the unknown. He is normally such a confident boy. I had no problems with first day of kindi. I just drove up, the teacher fetched him from the car and he happily waved good bye and that was it. I think I was more upset about leaving him at kindi than him seeing me dropping him off. But tuition day was completely different. With eyes as large as dinner plates and non-existent tears threatening to surface he looked at me. He did not have to say anything as his eyes said it all. "Amma please don't leave me here". Ms P was really nice about it all. She started chatting with him about his new tuition bag and pencil box and just like that she had managed to get him in through the door and was slowly starting to introduce him to the other students in the room. Quietly I snuck away and went to my Aunts house to wait for class to be over. One of the longest hour in my life. After about an hour I hear him happily chatting away to his new friends as they walk in through the gates. He gives a happy shout " Ammma! I am baaack" "Tuition was fun and I really like going for tuition". Oh boy was I happy to see the joy back on his face again.

We have slowly got back into some kind of routine again. But with upcoming Public holidays throughout January and February I find that I still cant be serious about work. Maybe its just laziness? The next thing we are looking forward to is my cousins engagement party. It will be held in Ipoh so that's a short holiday for us.

Maybe my new years resolution should be to try and write up more blog post. I will certainly try. But of course no promises :)

Wishing every one a Happy New Year. May the coming year and all the years to come be filled with abundant of LOVE and HAPPINESS!
