Preserving our roots

One of the things while we are away from our birth country is to make sure that our kids do not forget their roots. We are very proud of Darrius for picking up Mandarin when he spent 2 years in the kindy. His grasps of the language is not excellent but I can say it [...]

It’s Achacha, not Cha Cha!

When I first arrived here in Melbourne, I must say there are so many stuff I’ve not seen before when I visited the farmers markets! Though I have been living in Perth for 2 years 10 years ago, there are just too many new things here to be discovered! So, life is definitely interesting and [...]

Testing day!

Today I have to take 2 tests. It is for my driver licence conversion. First it was the computerized test with 32 questions and the other one was the hazard perception test with 28 questions. The computerized test is something like the ‘Undang-undang’ test in Malaysia and I did quite well in that. As for [...]

Packing Lunches/Bento for School

I must say all my investment in those bento gadgets are finally put into good use as it is a MUST to prepare lunch boxes for school going kids here in Australia. Darrius has 2 breaks a day so he needs to have a snack for morning recess and preferably a hot/warm meal for lunch break.
Luckily [...]

Gosh! How time really flies!
Though Darrius was supposed to be attending Primary 1 early this year like all his peers, but due to our move to Melbourne recently, he has to starts a month later. That is because, the new school year for Victoria only begins in early February.

Going for music lessons

Darrius’s new school does not include music classes in their curriculum so we have to have alternative and send him to music schools elsewhere. We still do not have to time to check these centers out yet since we are still trying to settle down before the new school year begin next week.
I’ve spoken to [...]

Slowly settling down

We have been here for 3 weeks now and I could say we are slowly settling down and adjusting to the new routine and time. We managed to sleep at our usual time but tend to wake up slightly earlier than before because the sun rises earlier since it is summer now. The sun don’t [...]

Shop till DROP!

The past one week, we were literally shopped till we dropped! We went from store to store to check out furniture and electronic goods for our new place. The weather was not so ideal as it was really HOT! I think it was around 35 degree Celsius at least if not more. Can feel our [...]
