Updates

Been pretty busy the past few days. The new maids came on Friday. So, my house is spick and span finally after 2 weeks of accumulated mess. So far I am pleased but I will blog more about that after about a month of testing them out first because they are pretty expensive. For a single session, they cost RM70 and they don’t do washing and ironing. A bummer. That’s why I am in the testing stage. So, that was Friday and took up half the day.

We stayed in for the most part of Saturday cos Ashley didn’t nap in the morning so she wasn’t in the mood. By lunchtime, she zonked out in mere seconds. The parents were equally bushed and we too zonked out till 5 pm when Ashley woke us up. The weather didn’t help for a productive day either. Was too conducive for sleeping. So, all 3 of us fully energized in the evening like some hopping energizer bunny raring to go. The brilliant Momsie suggested we go ‘kai kai’ (outing) at the Curve. I wanted to have dinner at Marche’s. Just had a craving. We went with Ashley in tow. She was pretty excited cos she has never been to a restaurant with us. Yeah, we don’t bring her out when we go out to eat. We would leave her with the grandparents. But this time, we wanted to give it a try and see how fidgety she would get. Surprisingly, she was pretty ok. She sat quietly throughout our dinner. Of course, it did help that she was simply fascinated with this lady sitting at the table next to us so Ashley was entertaining herself by observing that lady. Don’t know why. Doesn’t matter la, as long as the parents ate in peace, any form of entertainment would do even at the expense of a stranger.

We hung around a bit cos we wanted to get Ashley some stuff and clothes. She’s outgrowing most of her gifts so its time the parents got her some. Gosh, they do grow real fast huh. By the time we were done around 9, we went home and by 9.30pm, she went to bed, zonked out again. There was just too much information for her in one night. The Momsie followed suit and went off to la la land shortly after, leaving the poor hubs watching his footie by himself.

Sunday? Well, Sunday don’t say la. I am virtually not at home as the little celebrity has to make her weekly appearance for her ‘fans’ (the grandparents and great grand ma). So, the parents, like 2 bodyguards cum driver cum PA, ferried her from one place to another on Sunday. While at the grandparents, the parents snuck out for some shopping to get weekly home supplies. We were seriously running out of tissue and toilet rolls. If we didn’t get any, I tell ya…I don’t even want to imagine.
