Our Happy Anniversary





Hi all,


How time flies! It was our third wedding anniversary this week and we thought we celebrate it with a beach holiday! We went down to Surfers Paradise and stayed at Holiday Inn for a little R&R. Gold Coast is such a beautiful place, the ocean is so so blue, the shopping is great and the folks are so friendly. We were blessed with great weather and we soak up like the locals by hanging out on the beach.

Aerin loves the beach, she basically runs into the waves gung ho! Its our third month in Oz and she has settled so well, eating lamb chops like a pro, handling blonde lil chicks with ease and being a lil beach bum with so much spirit. Her school has put her with the older toddlers since they noticed that she is happier with the bigger kids and she is loving every minute of it! She has learnt to paint and paper mache things. She's a lil Picasso in the making!

I made friends with some Swedish people down at the park ("the Ikea couple") and we had a great BBQ with them last weekend. I have promised to make the Ikea couple the famous Kari Ketam and they exchange are making us Swedish meatballs! Ariff and I are slowly making friends and its quite a global list - Indian folks, Ikea couple and da' Aussies.

We took Aerin to Alma Park Zoo last week - its a great lil place where you can feed almost all the animals there!

We are so amaze with Australia - the people here (even at work) are so open and laidback that its such a nice change.

We hope everyone is well at home, have a great Labour day weekend.


Love heaps xxxx

HAPPY, HAPPY,HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Well done kids, you have survived the first 3 glorious years + bonus stress foc in the form of ANAK! Glad to hear your celebrations went well and we can't wait to see you all again real soon.
Anita is not amused at this. Nizam misses Aerin and everytime tv ads with little girls appear, he'd get excited and say "Mama look, baby!"
I've been busy ths week with the paralimpiad games and trying to recruit staff for NYLA Comms sdn bhd. But already got 2 of them and hope to start operations by end May.
We've been doing a weather watch via internet but do keep us posted on weather on the ground OK?
