1. This morning, I finally introduced myself and found out a few of my office neighbours' names. The roti canai 'flipper' is Tarbik; the tea lady is Muniamah A/P Ponusamy (she even showed me her IC to let me know how to spell her name!) and the candy man is Omar. Bought my first 20sen candies from him today. Feels good to have at least introduced myself before I leave my job here. Oooh... I am going to miss them :-)
2. In the evening, Jess dropped by my house to do grocery shopping together at the pasar malam. Veg, fruits and buns were the items for the day, to last the kids for the next 3 days when I am not around. Took fried kueh teow for the very first time at the pasar malam. Quite yummy, can try again the next time :-) Had to also hunt for a paper cup for Bob's art class and 10 packets of salt for the kids' school project. Next, 5 glass containers ... of all things. Hmm ... will have to hunt for them next week. Whatever will the teachers come up with the next round? Interesting.
3. Today, the kids asked my permission to eat maggie mee for supper and I said yes, on one condition : to kiss me ! All of them rushed to kiss me on the cheek except for Jenny... hmmm... kind of not warmed up to me yet I guess. We can play and laugh together but when it comes to showing affection ... will have to work on this one. A good challenge, maybe I'll just need to look up the parenting book again to gain some ideas :-)
4. Someone got me to call him my elder brother !
