Better Late than Never

I must admit that I sacked a bit this year. Usually I got my Raya card organised well ahead of time, but this year with the combination of work, and moving house, things got delayed. I managed only to get down to business last night during the rare nights which I could get my act together and get things going.

So, Anita would have to honour of getting the cards posted. I got the stamps already for them, so they just need delivering. Raya was definitely round the corner now....

Waiting for Berbuka

Not that they were fasting, but they were well-behaved this afternoon. They sorted out their homework and was revising for their exams tomorrow.

I wasn't sure what Anita had in mind but I guessed that she wasn't making sure that the boys weren't swapped around. Hence the shirt and their names on the back.

For today, Anita prepared chicken rice. Selamat Berbuka.

Me, the Boys, Finn and Jake

It wasn't often that I managed to get home early for dinner. It was a quick afternoon rounds today, so I managed to get home and chilled with the boys when they returned home from Quran school. Irfan was absent today as he had a bit of a cough.

Since Anita was fasting I had to babysit the boys, and it was messy. Even Irfan was full of energy despite the cough and he had been jumping around the room all evening.

But then cane their favourite TV show, Finn and Jake. Everything went into standstill and stunned silence. Just as it should be....

Homework!

As usual, getting the boys to do their homework every night was a big exercise for my lungs. I had to get then to concentrate and they were easily distracted. Idlan actually finished his homework before dinner and Irfan decided to do his after watching TV.

As soon as they finished their dinner, they were running around with their guns again. Another shouting natch before they started to behave. Ten minutes later, then the homework was done. He could've easily finished it he had his meal .....

Anita's Night Out

Anita had been fasting for the past three days and tonight, her friends asked her to join them to break fast together at one if the restaurant in town. Luckily, I was able get home early. So, off she went.

And the boys had been in top form tonight. After finishing their homeworks, they just jumped and jumped. Driving me nuts. In the end, I had to let them have their iPads. They seemed happy afterwards, and I was able to finish some reports for work. It worked out fine!
