Jess is 6!

2008-09-02T09:45:21Z

Jessica celebrated her 6th birthday on the 29th of August with her friends at kindy. Grandad bought her a super large cake to share with her friends in school. We weren't there, but glad she enjoyed her surprise-secret party, made her wish and blew out those tiny candles with glee. We opened some presents I got her another before dinner (new dress and some treats), and then after dinner, a new barbie roller bag, 3 pairs of new shoes and some coloring materials she loved. Feels like she's growing up so fast. Her vocabulary is amazing, and her mandarin is already a hundred times better than mine... though I would never admit it to her. She'll be in Standard 1 next year and my hopes for her is that she learns to behave herself, especially around others. She knows how disgraceful it is not to say her "thanks" or "please-s" and "sorry-s", but she shows her impolite reluctance any way, sometimes, and that really gets to me. Still, she has the most charming smile and really, a good heart so I'm quite sure she'll learn and remember her good manners, in good time.

Len and Chris joined us for dinner on the 22nd night, while Selvyn and Lillian joined us for lunch the next day, on the 23rd afternoon. By the next day, we all wore the sun-scorched look... which still lasts till today, and despite the rainy days, doesn't seem to be getting any better, any time soon.

Drove down right after a great beef noodle lunch in Sri Kemayan, Seremban before we headed to Port Dickson. We accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up taking a much longer route to Eagle Ranch, and had trouble finding the place, until my sister gave us two landmarks to look out for: an electrical transporter station, and a bandwagon that made up the quiet, welcoming troupe to the ranch. Stayed in a red Indian styled teepee room with an attached bathroom: you can look out at the sky while having a shower, which is kind of nice. There is air-conditioning, fan, television and tea/coffee making facility, but that's about it. Inside, it could get either too cold/humid at night, and kind of difficult to leave the doors open, for the ever-waiting to fly in flies and mossies (eech!)

Magic and I left from my place in time to get stuck in the usual traffic, but though we thought we made wrong turns during the drive accompanied with our usual quick catch-up chatter, we made it to the wedding dinner ceremony on time. We were stuck in the jam longer than the duration of the dinner. No additional comments... at all.

Birthday gifts from the garden.

In celebration of my birthday this year, I introduced a pond into our back garden, behind my study. Soon after it's completion, I invited a variety of water fairies into their new home, and my new pond. They swam delightedly around after slipping in, that I knew we would all be one great family. It's amazing how the cats have taken to our new family members, too... absolutely protective of them, especially from those greedy birds that might catch one or two of them for a quick snack.

He's doing great. Stay with the good thoughts. We visited Jeff's new restaurant in the city about a week and half later for a really nice dinner. I don't have the shot of it (no time), but certainly, the best "o-chien" in KL city. Twothypy enjoyed his daily naps throughout.

it's strange how he's grown so much bigger since his kittenhood - his voice just changed into this deeper, hoarse tom cat meows, but despite his increasing maturity, and show of independence, he's just as adorable as ever... and narnia still growls at him for just being in her space!!
