Hello everyone,
Its been a busy time for us - all three of us back in the work and playschool groove! Ahhh.....back into the rat race again! Ariff started work as a Project Engineer with Patrick Hastings and he was so happy that he could not wipe the smile of his face during the first week of work! The weather is slowly changing into cold Autumn mornings. We tend to be very homely during the week since we are all tired from the work and Aerin from all her playground antics. Last weekend we explored the city for a bit of late night shopping which was wonderful since they had heaps of street buskers and activities. The weekend was filled with grocery shopping and catching up with Ariff's cousins.
I had an interesting moment at work last week which showed me how uncultured Aussies can be. A girl at my work ("the dumb blonde sheila") was commenting on public holidays and somehow the month of Ramadan was brought into the conversation. She viciously commented how ridiculous it was for Muslims to be fasting and how the purpose of fasting seemed nonsense to her. She reflected how during her time in UK, her fasting Muslims colleagues were so grumpy that it drove her nuts. I was eavesdropping the whole time (since I sit a few tables away) and I was thinking how sad it is that this girl grew up with narrow-minded views in comparison to the tolerant global Malaysian. I ended up hoping that the dumb blonde sheila would choke on her non-halal chicken during lunch.
Anyway, here's some pictures of us at work and play! We are heading to Gold Coast this weekend to catch up with Ariff's old friend. Should be some nice Kodak pictures then!
Love heaps to all.

nice to see the themepark well patronised. How long is the box staying as stepping stone for the national gymnast to gayut. Has she mastered the loop d loop swing yet or the one hand grip? will teach her new Barney gigs next month.
Love, Atok & Wan
Awww... The pic of you at work reminds me of when you were here... at work... with us.
As you may recall, we have our own uncultured aussie Sheila within our midst :P
