Battleship Ella Ella

The boys finished their homework early tonight and Irfan especially wanted to watch a movie. He flipped the channel around, and eventually we ended up watching "Battleship". A big budget movie amwhich reminded me of a typical Michael Bay offering. Full of explosions and melodrama.

But the boys seemed to like the missiles and spaceships and aliens and more explosions. Cracking stuff. Before long, Idlan started singing Umbrella. He recognised Rihanna from the movie, before making spaceships and battleships using his Lego block. The room ended up in a mess as usual. Not a pretty sight!

School Trip Day

It's school trio today for the boys and as we surveyed a few back, it was KL Tower they were headed - hence the blog entry only went online after the fact.

Equipped with a mobile phone, both of then went with their classmate and actually called Anita a few times from the tower. But they need not worry as Anita actually followed the bus, and was actually at the bottom of the tower when they were up. She was that kind of a mother. Never stopped worrying about her boys.

Since last night, Irfan especially had been looking forward to the trip. He actually packed his gear this morning, carrying with him his own wallet and my old iPhone. I got a message from Anita earlier that they were already both home, safe and sound. Lets see what they bought as souvenirs as they actually promised me to get something when they come back ......

Kenduri at FRIM

The last time we went to FRIM was during the Raya break last year. The canopy walk was closed, and we ended up walking up the hill on a trek with the boys looking for some wild bugs.

Yesterday was the second time we were there, and it was to attend wedding of a cousin. It was held at the Auditorium, and to be honest, I didn't realise that there was enough space.

I have to say that the actual place was not really designed for such an occasion but it had enough if everything. And certainly it was a change from the usual kenduri venue. Quite creative really.

So, we got to meet relatives coming all the way from Penang and Kedah which we haven't met for years. It was also the first outing for my Mum since her heart scare. She was really happy to meet with her friends and other relatives. We on the other hand decided against bringing Idlan and Irfan. They would just moan and groan if they were there.

Ezyrolling at Titiwangsa

For Idlan's birthday, his Uncle bought him an Ezyroller. A tricycle minus a pedal. One actually propel it by turning the front wheel side to side. And even though it looked rather silly at the beginning, the roller actually worked. And yesterday, we bought another unit for Irfan, and if course helmets, knee and elbow guards. The next step would be to find a suitable ground. And off we went to Titiwangsa.

Boy, did they have fun. And everybody there were staring at the two of them. According to one of the roller blade instructor, he had never seen anything like this. The boys actually cycled around close to two hours before calling it a day.

Since the place was crowded on a Sunday afternoon, I had to walk with them to make sure that they did not run into crowds. It didn't take then long to get the hang of how the Ezyroller worked. Anita on the other hand sat on one of the benches enjoying the nice breeze. She was still recovering from her surgery.

So, for a first outing, the boys really loved the Ezyroller. And they were really easy to use and was great fun.

Mum at Home

The progress Mum had made had been great and the Cardiologist was keen for her to be discharged straight back home rather than hanging around a few extra days in the ward. The moment Mum heard that, she insisted on going home.

She had been mobilising well, and her appetite was slowly picking up. My main worry would be the number of visitors she would be getting once she got home. I bet it would be a fair few. My aunt would be traveling from Penang later this afternoon to stay with her, and so would my sister.

With the two weeks of school holidays starting this weekend, she would.have plenty of people hanging around her house.

As for Anita, she started some soft diet for lunch just now. Once my Mum's settled down, I would be heading back to Subang. Lunch then hang around for a bit as a few of my friends would be visiting later on. Anita was missing both Idlan and Irfan, but I don't think it would be an idea for them to come yet. But maybe, I'd surprise her.
