Homework Afternoon

We spent the earlier part of the afternoon in Bangi, supporting our high school MRSM Terendak at the Ansara Games. Unfortunately with the boys on tow, I had to do the babysitting at the car park. Anita get to see the games with another friend of ours, and she had a lovely time.

I didn't even have the chance to snap any photos while we were there.

Fuelling up with some cheesy pizzaOn his final leg ....But reality soon returned as we had to catch up on the homework for the weekend. Idlan had a couple of essays to write while Irfan got a project. We started early and hopefully everything should be done by dinner.

More Photos

I just realised that I took tons of photos during the party. I used combination of three cameras, the main one being the Sony Alpha 7R mk II with the Zeiss 24-70 lens with a flash. The other two were the wide angle Leica Q and the X-pro 1 coupled with the 35mm f1.4.

You can never have too many balloons ...The boys helping out with the preparationsMaking sure that the game consoles working just fine ...Yes, the mask fitsAll lined up ...The combination worked a treat and as I only had the flash for a couple of days, it worked much better than expected. I would be employing the setup for the upcoming MSH meeting in late April as I would be tasked with taking the photos again.

The drinks are readyThe mini pizza was a hit ....... and so were the sausages ...The labels were up ...The robot was on-lineSo, in the end I must have taken more than 200 shots ...

Irfan' Classmate Party

Irfan turned 10 on the second day of Chinese New Year. And straight after the school break, both he and Idlan had school assessment. No real time to have a party. Irfan had been talking to his classmate about having a party just for them. We dithered but he persisted.

Finding the right time was quite tricky. Finally we settled for last weekend, almost a couple of weeks after the his actual birthday.

The games has startedIrfan staring at his cake ...Guns would have been a better choice ...Poor boy was lost ...A small party, just among classmate. No clowns or anything like that. Just then playing video games with food and cakes. It worked out fine, with some of his friends wanting to stay back after the party.

They played with their Playstations and Wii U, well through the afternoon. And of course binge watching YouTube on the TV.

PlottingBig breathSee how the Pro cut itThe main attraction was the cake however. Mama Min did it again. More on that on another entry. Irfan was especially happy and right excited well into Monday. And Idlan decided that he loved his room after all and since the party had been sleeping in his own room. Although I had to sleep with him there...

Cousins Were Back

My Mum had a bit of fever and we brought her for a check-up - dengue test negative - and stayed at the apartment over the weekend.

Julia came to visit and the moment her children arrived, my boys had been asking if they would stay overnight. It was a long weekend after all with Monday being a holiday for Thaipusam.

No wonder they slept late!Not sure what they were up to ..Looking through the old LEGO bitsSo, came the cue for a trip for junk-food shopping followed by early sushi dinner. Then the havoc started when we reached home again. More pizza and junk food ensued. Plus video games party of course.

They were all still asleep when I got up for my ward round this morning. Not sure what Julia's plan or what time she was coming over to pick the girls up. Mum also feeling much better and might be heading back to Bukit Antarabangsa today.

Saturday Night and Homework

The boys really don't have much of a choice. Anita and I would be out all day tomorrow, so the boys had to do their homework tonight. Looking forward to free time tomorrow, they duly obliged. But now, they had to finish them. And there were a lot ..... Good night!
