Dah dua tiga hari ni we all bershopping 'back to school' stuff. On Tuesday, we went to Woolridges to buy the Little Misses text books for school. Sebab sekolah private kan, so text books semua kenalah beli sendiri. But instead of just buying the recommended text books, we belikan juga extra work books for the Little Misses. Ye lah, nak harapkan the teachers aje bagi kerja rumah, memang lah lemah sikit. Most of the primary schools here have quite a relaxed attitude in regards to homework tak macam M'sia. So, dalam seminggu tu maybe 2-3 hari aje the kids will dapat homework and ada sesetengah schools tu, langsung tak bagi homework to the students. So, it's up to the parents lah nak teach the kids at home or not. With Miss 9, we all selalunya suruh dia buat homework for half an hour everyday, so tu yang kena beli extra workbooks for her. Miss 5 pulak since she's starting Year 1 in Feb so belikan lah jugak dia homework books so she can start doing homework along with her sister.


Today pulak nya, I bought exercise books, stationery, school pants and socks ( school top cuma boleh beli at the school aje). Ingat nak beli school bags as well but starting from this year, their school has made it compulsory for all students to only use the school's school bags yang ada logo sekolah. Tension aje I sebab sure nya dah gerenti mahal and God knows if it's going to last or not. Rasa macam nak rebel aje pulaknya but sian pulak kat the Little Misses kalau diaorang aje yang pakai bags lain, hehehe. The Little Misses dah awal2 mintak Hannah Montana pencil case, nasib baik lah they are on special so Mummy belikan lah jugak. Weekend ni nak shop for school shoes pulak. Luckily anak ada 2 aje kan, so tak lah banyak duit habis, hahahahaha......


For dinner tonite, I masak dishes melayu abis :-). Tadi masa grocery shopping terjumpa lah kangkung and 'Melayu Celup' kat rumah ni dah siap mintak kangkung goreng belacan sebab dah lama dia tak makan, he said. Mengidamnya mengalah kan melayu betul ;-). Dah dia nak kangkung goreng belacan, kenalah masak nasi, and bila dah masak nasi, kenalah masak lauk pauk lain jugak kan. Tu yang leceh bila masak nasi ni, sebab kena masak 2-3 macam jenis lauk especially kat rumah ni since the Little Misses tak makan pedas and we all suka pedas. Kangkung tu harga dia A$6/kg and tadi I beli kacang panjang gak which cost A$10/kg, mahal giler kan! Tapi sebab dah lama sangat2 tak makan kacang panjang, beli lah jugak sikit tadi. Last summer cuba tanam kacang panjang tapi tak menjadi, jadi kacang pendek aje! So, dah terbukti lah yang bukan semua benda we all tanam menjadi, hehehehe.



So, our lauk pauk tonite, kangkung goreng belacan, gulai ayam, daging masak kicap and telur goreng. Melayu Celup tu kata sedap kangkung goreng belacan I masak :-).


Mummy saje makan dlm mangkuk kecik ala2 chinese restoran style, hehehehe. Kononnya nak tricked my eyes from eating too much lah sebab guna mangkuk kecik aje kan so tak boleh lah ambil nasi banyak2, wahkahkahkahkahkah. Tak guna lah kan exercise beria pagi2 kalau makan masih ter over.
