The nature of things

My little boy turned six yesterday. It was a quiet celebration at Swensen, with lunch and ice-cream. Well, at least the staff there sang him a birthday song and his two uncles joined us as well. Nenek and datuk were holidaying in Melbourne, but they called in the morning to wish him together with his Aunty Yan and Uncle Nazif. Afzal received a Black Widow water gun from his youngest uncle Suffian.

Since we received two complimentary tickets from his uncle Ayom to the Kids Central Live Show on 31 Aug,we went - only Afzal and mummy, sharing a special time together.

Today, we were at the airport bidding his daddy farewell. Daddy left for US again but this time to Illinois for the next three weeks. After that, mummy brought Afzal to the Kids Central Carnival because the tickets were still valid since it rained heavily the last time. On the way home, we stopped at the coffeeshop beside Kassim Mosque and bought packed dinner. Afzal wanted briyani.

Mummy and Afzal shared a packet of chicken briyani and mummy felt like drinking soda. So mummy relented and shared soda together with the big little boy.

Now, While Afzal is occupying himself with his new remote control car from his Aunt Midah, mummy is feeling blue. Oh well, I will keep myself busy with work for next week while putting Afzal at mum-in-law's place. In this moment in time, that's the nature of things, I guess.
