Week 12: March 5 to 11


Last week I mentioned Lachlan and Danae’s school routines. The school runs on a two week schedule, and it can be difficult remembering what each child needs to take to school each day and each week. When they have PE they have to take their PE uniform and change into it, unless they have PE in the morning. So here is their schedule:
Week A:
Monday: Danae- library
Tuesday: Danae- PE (take uniform)
                 Lachlan- music (take clarinet)
                                 PE (wear uniform)
                ASAs- take golf clubs
Wednesday: Lachlan- music (take clarinet)
                     ASAs
Thursday: Danae- swimming (take PE uniform and swimming stuff)
Friday:  Danae- assembly
              Lachlan- swimming (wear PE take swimming stuff)

Week B:
Monday: Danae- library
                                PE (take PE uniform)
                 Lachlan- PE (wear PE uniform)
Tuesday: Danae- PE (take uniform)
                ASAs- take golf clubs
Wednesday: Lachlan- music (take clarinet)
                   ASAs
Thursday: Lachlan- PE (take uniform)
Friday: Lachlan- music (take clarinet)

This week started off pretty quiet. I went to brunch and shopping with a friend on Wednesday. Steve had hockey training Monday and Tuesday night and played on Wednesday night. I also drove down to the school on Wed afternoon for an information session on their school camps which are coming up in two weeks. Lachlan is going to Lumut for three nights and Danae is going to Malacca for a night. They are both really excited about camp and it looks like they will both have a great time!
On Thusday I went on a trip to Malacca with some other ladies. Malacca is a UNESCO world heritage listed city about 2 hours from KL. It is where Malaysia was founded and was very interesting.
Friday I got my haircut, it was well overdue and I decided to treat myself to one of KL’s top stylists. He was very good and I really like my cut. Friday night was spent by the pool and there were a few more friends there than usual. Lachlan seems to be a hit with the girls here and Friday night he spent most of the night playing with three girls around his age; Eve who is from Scotland buy has spent a lot of her childhood in the US, Mio who is in Lachlan’s grade at school and catches the bus with him, and Ella who also goes to the Australian school but is a year younger.. and Danae who spent half her time joining in with Lachlan and the other half playing with Mio’s brother or the New Zealand girls.
Saturday was a busy day! We had to get up early because Danae had made the soccer team for the under 9 girls gala day at one of the international schools. It started at 8 and was a bit tricky to find. When we got there we found out that the girls team had been cancelled and we somehow hadn’t been told. But the boys team was 3 players down, so Lachlan stayed to play goalie and had to pretend he was only 9 years old. At lunchtime we went to another international school as they were having an international fair and one of the auskick co-ordinators was going to be there and wanted kids to play a little demo scratch match of football. But when we got there we couldn’t find him or we got there too late. We did see a few other people we knew there and had some food. Then we came home and had a swim and a game of pool tag. After that we went out and had dinner and wanted to do some shopping at Low Yat, a 5 floor shopping centre just for techy stuff. We needed to get a GPS and an IPad cover for Steve.
Sunday was very low key, Steve did some study and we got groceries for the week because I won’t have the car this week as it’s Steve’s turn to drive to the college. And we watched some NAB cup and swam in the afternoon.
