AROOZOO SCHOOL NOW DEFUNCT

Believe it or not but i went to my old school today - Aroozoo School which is now taken over by DPS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. Left Aroozoo School about 18 years ago...

Felt so nostalgic. With me was my son, Ammar Rizqullah. I was around the area and decided to pop by and co-incidently, a relative of mine is a teacher there now. I was proud to show Ammar my primary school...He loves the big green field!

Basket Ball Court

My favourite spot during recess time.

The Toilet. A must 'GO' place everyday!

Used to be a Bookshop. But it is now the Transport Room.

Indoor Hall...Assembly during raining days.

The tuckshop.

Used to have 5 food stalls and 1 drink stall. But there is only one Indian Foodstall run by KOMALA VILLAS.

In the picture, is Ammar...tired from walking using the crutches

AMMAR WITH HIS FRACTURED TOE

Last Monday, Ammar was at my parents in law's house.

He played football by himself and wore only slippers.

And the next thing, obviously, he ended up with a fractured toe!

My father in law told me about it but since Ammar wasn't complaining of any serious pain, i don't see the necessity to bring him to see a doctor.

He looked ok although a lil bruised.
I thought with a lil urut would do the trick.

But it was only yesterday (Tuesday 16th Oct) that he started to feel pain when he tried to walk. I thought he was just exagerrating.
But seeing him limping, i knew he need immediate medical help.

So at 4.30pm, i sent him to KK CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
The x-tray results, showed that Ammar had a broken toe. Sigh.....
He was casted and i need to buy walking crutches for him.
Ammar was complaining about the weight of the cast.
He is not used to the crutches and instead moving around using a chair.

At night i heard him sighing...'there goes my duit collection' hee hee.
I lied to him that i had used his money to bear the cost of his medical fees.
But of cos it wasn't his money...wink wink wink
But my most worrry is...next tuesday his final exams will start!

YASMIN IN KEBAYA NYONYA

On last year fasting month, i had placed a deposit of S$30 with a guy named 'A'au' who has a shop selling 'Kebaya Nyonya' at Chinatown. The deposit was meant for a kebaya which i had ordered for Yasmin to wear on Hari Raya 2006. I often patronised his shop when i was working around Tg Pagar. Unfortunately, there wasn't any suitabe size for Yasmin who was then only 2 years old. Months passed and i totally forgot about the deposit and i have, too, stopped partonising his shop at Chinatown.

Until yday, i went to the Bazaar at Geylang and 'bumped' into a shop that sells Kebaya Nyonya! I was attracted by a children's size kebaya that was on display. Excitedly, i went into the shop and started to browse. There were white, blue and pink color kebaya. I wanted the pink color kebaya but only the blue kebaya has size 2 so i settled for it. The kebaya comes with a matching 'kain batik lepas' with glitters on it.

Just when i was about to pay...out of curiousity, i asked the sales girl if they happened to own a shop at Chinatown? And she replied yes. Ha ha...so it is the same shop owned by A'Au! I asked to speak to A'Au but currently he is in Malaysia. Luckily there was another lady who had helped me to call A'au's sister and told her about my deposit which wasn't returned to me since last year.

Alhamdullillah, A'au's sister agreed to offset the S$30 deposit and i paid a difference of S$15 for the Kebaya Nyonya.

Back home, i tried the 'Kebaya Nyonya' on Yasmin again.
Finally this year when Yasmin is 3 years old, i can wear matching 'Kebaya Nyonya' with her on our upcoming Hari Raya visits.

It was hillariously super cute on her! Yasmin loves the 'Kebaya Nyonya' and started to dance immitating "Lilis" from sinetron 'Mimpi Manis' hee hee hee...Take a look at the shots...

CHILDREN'S DAY CELEBRATION AT SAJS

Last Friday, i went to Ammar's school at SAJS to celebrate Children's Day.

With me are Yasmin, Sarah and Bibik.

I brought Fried Bihun compliments from my Mom.

And also cupcakes which i ordered from Kak Ros.

Goodies brought by other parents.

Makan time.

Happy hour.

Rose among the 'thorns'...

I am very proud of Nicholas Nitesh. He took good care of Yasmin. Helping her with foods and drinks.
