Happy New Year 2009!

Hiya folks....a new year all stretch out in front of us. I didn't make any resolutions this year. Guess I kinda fumbled into this year!

The end of last year was spent rather quietly, though we did have a small party at home. Adam, my going to be 6 years old son, was sick the last few days of the year so we just stayed home. I was desperately praying that he get well in time to start school. Mum-in-law celebrated her 70th birthday with much ado with friends and family. Wow....I was just trying to imagine myself when I am 70...what will be the thoughts going through my head? ( hopefully with a full head of hair, haha!)

Adam and Alex ( my 14 year old) are now in the same school so I am doing the very early morning run. Yawn.....Adam started his real school ie year 1, with much longer school hours, taking lunch in school, and wearing his brand new uniform. Thank God he had a few friends starting at the same time so the first day of school was tears free for him. Mummy almost broke down when I bid goodbye after the bell rang. This is my baby of all baby.....and he is starting year 1. A friend who knows me well texted me asking whether I was bawling my eyes out. I told her I have been crying in my heart for days now, praying that all will go well. Thank God it did. He adjusted well, waking every morning, eager to go to school. Happy mummy and child!

So now I have even more free time so I am looking for stuff to occupy me, hopefully some part time job apart from the one that I am already doing now, ie teaching music. Times are tough....so it will be wise to gain some extra income if possible....

Started back all the music classes....I missed the kids so it was really good to see them. Today was special....had two siblings from my ex students who have finished the program come back to me. Looking at the students that have grown so much and so well....and now starting the cycle all over again with their siblings....makes me feel really good!

Chinese New Year is around the corner....more feasting and spending! I am still reeling from Christmas....so I think it will be a quiet CNY! Definitely not going anyway as both sides of the family are here in KL.

Adieus for now folks.....
