One of those days

Today was one of those few days when everything didn't go according to plan. Didn't mean it's completely screwed tho'. Just.. Scattered all over the place. Like Bumi's vomit *ohno

So the kids hitched a ride with a friend, a neighbour -unplanned
And the husband got his ride to the airport almost an hour after the requested time - unplanned
As I started translating, B's teacher texted me, asking me to pick him up because he didn't feel well - totally unplanned
So the wife picked up the boy, and the girl.
And we drove to the mall duh!

Get well soon baby...

Her 1st Time Making Up The Bed

This morning, while I was busy preparing for their school uniforms, she casually touched my arm and said, "Mom", pointing to the direction of the bedroom. I turned to see and found this view. What a refreshing view, in oppose to crumpled up bedsheets and balled up blankets I have to put up with every morning. She's nine years old. Might be late for.a simple bed-making, but it's a start and I was glad. I smacked her cheek and exclaimed, "Alhamdulillaah!"

Warung Kita

Location: Ruko Akik Hijau BI D Unit 22 Jl. Pengayoman
I rate this place *****

yes, it's a stand-in-line, one-time get-whatever-you-want buffet kind. You just pick what you want directly from the window, rice and all. My favorite is bakwan udang. No lack of options there. Beside the buffet, there are also ayam kremes, it's fried chicken with crumbs and rawon, the famous black meat soup of Java, of which you have to order and priced a bit higher than the buffet. They charge Rp15k for 1 plate of buffet menu and Rp20k for the preorder menu. You don't have to memorize what you took, the waitresses are all trained to do that just by glancing at your plate while delivering complimentary mineral water. Pay after you eat at the cashier who will only ask if you take anything from the table like peanuts or crackers and that's it.

You want a healthy home style cooking with affordable price in Makassar, this is the place. Highly recommended.

The league continues every Sunday with team practice every Friday afternoon. So, every Friday the kids leave school at 3pm instead of 4pm. It's been going on since December last year with 2-week break for Christmas and new year holiday. So far the kids are enjoying themselves, if not for the sport, the friends! Alhamdulillaah they get along pretty well. Nevertheless, I think basketball started to be their thing, considering that's the only routine we haven't heard them complaining about *wink

Now that it's the low season, we are now considering going on a vacation. Papu will take his annual leave, well, it's about time. And it's the beginning of the semester, of which I think there won't be any exam for the next two weeks. Really hope so.

Now, where to go? Where to go?

Where There's a Will, There's a Way

Seriously. This cc business is getting on my nerve. But someone's got to do it.

Anyway, I finally went to GG this morning. Ooouwh my muscles ache after so much sitting and lying at home for a month! Guess I don't start from zero but minus. It's actually worse than two months ago when I first started GG.

Day Off

Yes, J & B are staying home today. I need to make sure J doesn't sweat her neck and as for B, well, let's just say he's not himself this morning. He's actually a quiet sleeper and a morning person yet here he is open-mouthed and snoring at 6.30 am. My bad. Last night I threw in an anti allergic drug along with his asthma medication. I couldn't stand to see him awake until late at night like that. Hopefully they'll be right as peach tomorrow. Papu already left at six after preparing breakfast for J. Rather gloomily I suspect. Hmmm... Aways be the one who objects to routine deflection he is.

Anyway for me, medicine shopping, vacuum cleaning, bedsheets washing and furniture rearranging are waiting ahead. So, Happy Monday happy folks!

Finally Open!

Alhamdulillah the sports center at our residential area has finally opened, per Oct 1st the swimming pool has been available for the residents. The kids are super excited and can't seem to have one day without going there and swim. Except for my girl.  She only went there once and came down with fever and an unknown redness all around her neck. Hope it's just a simple rash from the fever. The whole family had a mild sore throat, guess the heat has taken its toll. No sign of rain yet, at all. That is maybe why this pool opening thing has greatly energized the whole neighbourhood. The Heat is murderous!
