The little noisemaker returns to school.

Soon it will be the first day of school again. Adam is all ready for it. Like a veteran that came back from a war, victorious, he has made up his mind as to how he will be starting the day. He has packed his bag, whitened his shoes, and tested out his new set of uniforms. I hope nothing goes wrong for him tomorrow but a couple of sneezes before he finally fell asleep is bothering me. To state the truth, I am worried for him. It will be a new class, with some new classmates and I'm sure a new form teacher. A period of adjustment, although may be short, is needed.
It was a packed last two days of the holidays for us.
On Saturday, we went to Unisim to pay my school fees. That took us way past lunch time. After which we went on a duck tour. It was a unique experience I must say, being able to be on the water and on land without changing vehicle.
Next we attempted to watch avatar 3d only to find out that it was being shown in 2d. So, we decided to drive all the way to Singapore Discovery Centre where we managed to catch the show for only $7 a ticket. Not a bad movie I do say so. Worth every cent.
On Sunday, which was a couple of hours ago, we went to a wedding. After which we went to Ikea, where we bought 30 glass jars. Those jars are meant for Su's program in her school. We then went back home. Adam did a mock up tv with a marlin in it and proceed to "watch the show". It was very creative of him. I wish I'd share his enthusiasm a bit more.
So it now 1.04am.The roads are quiet and I'm beginning to wonder as to what the future hold for me, my family and my little noisemaker.
Ya Allah, with your grace, let me be strong, to face the day and the trials that you have set for me for you are the all knowing and and the all forgiving. Amin.

At mega bites

At mega bites having lunch. Going for the duck tour later. Excited.
But knee is so painful. Still. Adam is doing his first journal and he
is excited about it. I am such a happy person.
