Both Othniel and I took leave from 23-24 August 2006 to give off to Jeriel's nanny. Coincidently, the 2 sisters (taken care by Jeriel's nanny) were also away for holidays and that week was school holidays. So we decided to give nanny Annual Leave to spend time with her 3 teenager kids.
23 Aug 2006
We woke up later than our usual time. I cooked simple ABC soup and rice for lunch. My project was to clear all the ironing (a few months of clothes). Othniel's project was to complete his window sealing in our master bedroom. In our master bedroom, there is one redundant small room just before our bathroom entrance. Othniel modify the grille by making it shorter, so that there is some space to put a piece of wood. After nailing the wood, the wood same level with the wall. Then he patched the small holes with 'filler'. After that, paint over it. Wow, hardly can notice that there was once a small window there….
We went out for simple dinner and after dinner, I continued ironing while Othniel clearing all his clothes which was old and hardly wear. He inherited a lot of shirts from his later father because he was the only one can fit into most of the clothes compared to his 2 brothers. I also clear some clothes which I hardly wear even though still in good condition. Our principle is make sure keep clothes only in our room not in other place since staying in small apartment. We packed the clothes to pass it to Jeriel's nanny who would sort it then later we would put into Charity Box the remaining ones.
Jeriel was considered good boy (sometimes demanding for attention) going around playing by himself and kept asking 'Mummy, what are you doing?' and 'Papa,what are you doing?'.
24 Aug 2006
We planned to bring Jeriel to zoo but not sure of haze condition. We woke up a bit late and found that it was improving. We went to Time office in Jalan Tun Razak to collect my Consolation Prize for Valentine Day. Then we dropped a cheque in Citibank at Jalan Ampang. We went for lunch in a Char Siew Chicken Rice Shop near Ampang Point. After lunch, we went to Zoo Negara.
Wah, school holidays but thank goodness weekday so not that crowded. We sat the train and then walked to a few areas which were not covered by the train. Besides that we went second round to the animals which Jeriel was familiar like elephant, tiger and lion.
We rushed just on time before the heavy rain started at about after 5pm.
25 Aug 2006
That day, we woke up early for dental check-up at 9am. Jeriel was ok and sat at the dentist check-up chair for a while when he started to show his sad face (almost wanted to cry). Then Othniel's Ku Che (dentist) said she did not want to frighten him yet as he might not want to enter the clinic in future. So, Othniel carried him up from the chair. Both Othniel and I clean up our teeth. We will need to let Jeriel get use to the place and also to his Ku Poh.
We took a simple lunch and went to SS2, PJ to run some errands while Othniel went to the cobbler. The cobbler took quite long to repair and sew our shoes. When we were home, Jeriel was so sleepy that he slept. We close his room door and started the store room cleaning. For those who visited my apartment, actually we divided the smallest room into partial study and partial store. We decided to throw the spoilt items or donate unused items like bags etc. Othniel managed to clear a few shelves in the store room. Then we started to move some things from Jeriel's room to the shelves in store area. Jeriel's room now looks more like room not partial store area.
