Week 23: May 21 to 27

Another fun week in KL this week.

Tuesday I went to a luncheon to welcome the wife of the new DA, who arrived on the weekend. Then I went shopping for a new pair of swimmers.

Wednesday I was going to go to Chinatown, but ended up going to get a pedicure with Toni instead.

Thursday, Steve was home by 11 so we went and had lunch, then we went down to the school for Junior school Open Day afternoon. Where we spent the afternoon in Danae's classroom. She finished her 'mini beast' and then had to explain what is was, what she used to make it, and what its defence mechanisms were. After school we had a parent teacher interview with Lachlan's teacher. When he found out Steve was a meteorologist, he asked him if he could come into the class to speak in a few weeks, because they studied weather last term.

Friday, Steve was also home a bit early so we went out for lunch, then went looking for birthday presents for a party the kids were going to on Saturday. I had wanted to go to Chinatown in the morning, but tidied up the apartment instead. Then we came home and as Lachlan and Danae got off the bus we rushed off to take Lachlan to the dentist. He has a wobbly tooth and the permanant one is coming through his gum kind of crooked, so I wanted to get it checked out. The dentist said to give it another month, and if it hasn't come out he will need to go back and get it pulled out. Poor thing was in tears, and now wants to eat a lot of apples. We finally found presents, then came home and had a quick swim. We came upstairs for dinner, then had Toni and Michael over for a drink.
Saturday was even busier than Friday. In the morning I did some cooking for later that night. At 11 we went downstairs for the birthday party for the two New Zealand girls, Lucy and Caitlin. Then we came back up to cool down, and do some more cooking. At 4 we went to watch the Adelaide Collingwood game with most of the other High Comm people and met the new DA. We could only stay a while as we had to come back for a bbq we had planned with our new Aussie friends. They had some visitors staying and it was a great night, and a very late night.

Sunday was a quiet day, we all slept in. After breakfast Steve and the kids went for a swim, while I went back to bed with a headache. After lunch Steve did some study, and we all kind of did our own thing. Then we went out for dinner and had some cheap, local food. On the way home, we saw a water and light show in KLCC park. It was really good, we are not sure if it will be a regular thing now. Here is someones youtube video that I found:

I was going to talk a bit about Malaysian food, as it's such a big part of the culture here, but I might save it for another time. I think I've said enough for today. Have a great week!
