Last day of 2006 in Rabbit farm.

Happy New Year 2007! Yeah, I know, it's 16 days late. Well, can't blame me. There's just too much this year has in store for me.

Well, frankly, it was just an excuse for being lazy. What had I been doing these 2 weeks? I can't seem to remember actually, except I had been freaking busy running around here and there, feeling fatique all the time.

There is one big change in this new year though. That being the case I don't have the luxury to sleep way past 7 anymore from now on except during weekends or school holidays. It's like back to school myself, waking up to the alarm ring, and dragging myself out from the bed covers. Then, it's the routine of picking the big boy now after his school hours, weaving in and out of the traffic jam every darn afternoon.

Sometimes I have the urge to resort to BAS SEKOLAH, but seeing his delighted face when he sees me, makes all those sweat worthwhile.

I remember when I was young, I used to envy my school friends who need not wait for buses. They have their mommies waiting for them and taking them straight home. For myself, I had to wait for some longest time for the bus to come, and then, it takes more than an hour to reach home. I would be dropped dead by then. Most of the time, nonetheless, I would be sleeping in the bus, and the driver had to shake me up from my slumber.

Once, I had been "forgotten" by the bus driver and left stranded in the school until late afternoon. Poor me, everyone was gone, and I had no money to make any calls, my parents might not even realised I was still at school! Lucky there were some teachers who were still in their office, and they had been kind enough to give me some coins to make a call to my father. Lucky I remembered his office number and lucky he was still at his workplace too. I was practically sobbing when I talked to him. He came to my rescue very soon, and I was back to home sweet home, safe, sound and comfortable.

That poor driver, he was wahlup left right back front by my parents that night. I often look back on how scary it had been, how I used to hope that my parents would pick me home after school just like my privileged friends were.

So, now perhaps it's understandable why I rather take the trouble of driving them around. Seeing his happy face when he sees me as I arrive is just absolutely priceless.

We bid farewell to 2006 and welcomed 2007 by a short day trip to Bukit Tinggi. The best part of the trip was in rabbit farm, the children just can't stop running around the little farm, chasing rabbits and also, one another. They wasn't in a hurry to go home though it was way past the afternoon nap, we had to lift them off the ground to have them get into the car!



That night, we went to Chillis in Midvalley, after we discovered the "Kids eat free" with each main course ordered. The juice were bottomless, the kids menu come together with a soft drink. With all these deals, how to resist? You can't find any better deals elsewhere, I suppose. Furthermore, I just love the lamb steak. It's super dee duper yummy. Hmm.. writing it about now makes me salivating for it again.

I have also started working on my last year's resolution, drinking more calcium rich milk! Going into the "late 30's" now, I shiver when I think about the body parts failling me one after another. First the eyesight, then the white hair all over my head, next the skin texture, I don't want to be complaining about the aching bones soon. But I am sure getting fatter with all these milk intake. Now, this old friend of mine wouldn't comment I am thin anymore!

There are other resolutions in my mind. But let me work on last year's ones first!
