School Concert and Boxes of Memories

Today I was at Ammar's school the whole morning, to help them out with concert rehearsal. The concert is tomorrow.

It'll be his third concert.. The first one we attended was at Thousand Oaks, California. Thanksgiving concert, which was quite fun. Then last year it was at Royal Adelphi, Seremban.. that was some production! I have no idea how the teachers pulled it off with 3,4,5,6 years old. Kudos for the teachers. So we'll yet to see how tomorrow goes although this one looks like its going to be a much smaller scale production.

I found Ammar's picture when he was about a year something. I miss the baby fat. He's (on the left) with his pal, Hakim .. although now they're not 'pal'friendly anymore.. hardly see Hakim these days although his family has also moved back to Malaysia.



I have this big ambition to create scrapbook/memory book for my boy and girl. I have kept a lot of things (pictures, cards, artwork, footprints) since their birth, all in boxes. Yup, I am one of those crazy mums who would keep everything.

I just never had the chance to sit down and put the pieces together. It's been on my to do list since 2001. ay ay ay.

Oh when I came home this morning, I saw a few pots of plants that I bought like a week ago, have arrived. I've been on the phone with this apek for days now, asking him 'where are my plants'. His answer was 'saya tak sinang aaa..nanti bila sinang saya anta la'. Urgh!

But I got a great bargain though. The nursery is closing down cuz they're expanding the road so I guess the nursery land was bought out. So things were selling at markdown. A bunga kesidang sold for 20 bucks each, when the normal price that I buy (lepas tawar) is usually 50 , or 45.
I wish I had gone to the place sooner, cuz by the time I was there, the nursery was almost empty. Somebody must have striked out I guess, with lot of garden bargains. I guess this evening I have my hands full with figuring out where to put the plants, and actually plant them.

Reminds me of a saying I heard 'men buy stuff they need, even though its not on sale'. 'women buy stuff they don't need when its on sale'.. or something like that.

Well, u know what. There's no such waste with plants... hihi.
