Tuesday Steve went back to work and the kids and I stayed home doing some washing and watching tv. We went out for dinner with Mel, Leigh and Ella to Las Carretas as they were leaving for Dubai this week.
Wednesday the kids started back at school and I had lunch with Cathy and Mel. It turned into a long lunch as we went back to Cathy's for some wine and Steve got the kids off the bus and dropped them at Cathy's on his way to a function.
Steve had a morning tea at the High Comm Thursday morning, then had the rest of the day off. We met for lunch, then went to get some groceries. Steve also had Friday off for study, we went to IKEA and the curve and to a pub for lunch. Friday night we went out for dinner at 7atenine with a group of people for Janelle's birthday. It was a great night.
The weekend was pretty quiet. Steve did some work and we watched quite a bit of footy. On Saturday evening Steve and the kids went to Colonel Toh's for a party (I wasn't feeling the best). We were invited out to Out of Africa on Sunday for lunch with Michelle and her family. Out of Africa is a sports club with an Olympic sized pool and a south African restaurant, it's a great place for adults to have a drink and talk while the kids swim.
Saturday was the start of Ramadan here. Ramadan is when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, then they have a big feast in the evening. Ramadan lasts for a month and ends with Hari Raya, a celebration similar to Christmas. So it is an interesting time here in Malaysia. Steve gets one week off for the whole year, and it's during Hari Raya, in mid August. For those who don't know, we have planned a trip to Venice and a cruise around the Greek Islands for our week off. It will be tiring, but we are really excited about it!
