goodbye angkong

2 Comments

Thursday morning we were informed with the sad news that Ichi’s maternal grandfather passed away. Although I didn’t get the chance to really get to know angkong I found him to be a very quiet and caring man. I was amazed that even at an old age he knew everyone and he knew where and what is happening with his children and grandchildren’s lives — that’s with about 50 people in the family (children plus in laws, grandkids and great grandkids). It is unfortunate that we won’t be able to make it home for the wake and funeral and to say our final goodbyes. But I know that angks will understand. We will miss you!

bike hire

2 Comments

Although most of us where under the weather last week and deciding that we didn’t want to be cooped up in the house, we decided to go to Sydney Olympic Park last Saturday. We wanted to do a bike hire for E who was all excited to try riding. Along with the Baui’s off we went in the afternoon to bicentennial park and E & S had fun with their first ride. But they’d all soon trade the bikes for playing in the playground which of course is where we ended up after a while. Click on the pics for more.


report night

2 Comments

Last Wednesday was report night at E’s preschool. It was our first parent teacher meeting and it gave us a chance to see how E was doing during the short time that he has been going there. It was great to hear all the positive feedbacks by the teacher. She finds E very independent and he doesn’t have a problem joining in the activities. He doesn’t have a regular group of friend (which is expected as he’s been there only a few sessions) but he interacts with the various groups of kids there. We’re happy that he is enjoying going there.
