On Saturday, we woke up bright and early though I was a bit grumpy as I couldn't fall asleep right until after 2+ the night before. I would want to blame it on the hubs coz he scooted off to have a Friday night out with his colleagues and wasn't home until I went to bed. I wasn't particularly mad that he was socializing with them, having a timeout after work, but more on being worried since the safety in this country is not something to be taken lightly of these days.
Anyway, he was back in 1 piece as I found out in the morning and we went to our normal usual hangout for breakfast. Then, we went off to the usual mall to survey an aquarium. My hubs is yearning to have a bigger aquarium since some months back and we are looking around for one right now.
The afternoon was as usual, kids' going to classes while I do some groceries shopping, off to library to get some new books, then off to their BM tuition class. This BM tuition class has started since this month and though it locked our precious weekend time in the afternoon, it also gives both of us some time of our our own to walk around, hand in hand/arm or off for some quiet tea break. This time, we went off nearby to talk to another aquarium shop owner. It had been very informative and hubs half decided that we would get our bigger aquarium from him.
After picking them up at 6, we headed straight to dinner and since it is considered an early dinner to most KL folks for a weekend, the shop was almost empty and food came very soon. We finished our dinner and were home before 8. That was pretty early for a Saturday evening, but I had no complaints since I didn't feel like going anywhere anyway. We showered and changed to our pjs and happily snuggled around doing our own things, but comfortably happy knowing we were around at home with each other.
Today, Sunday, after breakfast, we came home, got the kids to do some studying while I busied myself in the kitchen making pizza, orange and currant scones, corn soup and soya bean drink for the lunch/teatime. When all the food was ready, the kids finished their assigned work, and they were soooo happy giving the thumbs up to the food I prepared for them. Meimei specifically asked me to make the scones again for her recess time in school tomorrow. And the pizza for Tuesday's. Yes, your highness, your wish is my command!
I was also feeling happy that the kids done their work as I told them to do. The boys washed the dishes for me after that meal, and I went up to check on their work. I was pleased that the kids did what I told them to do. I tested didi on some Malay words, and I feel glad that he could mutter the words most of the words out as I asked. This new method of learning which I would blog about later, is definitely working better than before.
I felt so recharged that I cleaned up the whole floor and settle some longtime clutter in and around the rooms and felt even more satisfied! But hubs was complaining that he was wasting time at home doing nothing! I retorted that I achieved so much today!
Anyway, since my work was almost done, I suggested to him that we all go jogging or walking at a park. It was almost 5pm, just the right time for that kind of activity. I was prepared to cook dinner but if we were to go out, the dinner would have to be outside and the soup I'd done up would be left for tomorrow.
He took such a long time to get out of the house that I almost wanted to tell him we should just go swimming. But since all of us were already in our jogging gear, we went ahead with our initial plan.
The Taman Tasik Permaisuri is such a wonderful park and merry with crowd of people that it instantly cheered me up being there, walking with my loved ones, taking in the fresh air. It was our first time there though we had been to the nearby playground before. Didi took his badminton racquets along and we also played for awhile with him taking turns. He's so into this game right now.
After the walk around the park, we had our dinner of old styled charcoal claypot chicken rice in Cheras, it was very yummy! It just add on to the list of making-wonderful-moods things. Then we went home, hurried the kids to shower and bed, while I went about to make bread for tomorrow's breakfast and the scones for my little baobei daughter. The vision of her eating her scones happily in school's recess time tomorrow just makes me feel contented.
And there, a very uneventful, yet simple and pleasantly happy weekend that had been for me. Hope more weekends are like this!
