Ahoy there!
Tis a rainy and cold week! Aerin was out with a sore throat and we had to dose her up on her first run of antibiotics! Needless to say, she was a clingy koala and I was the ever present eucalyptus tree with a very sore back.
The Crackerjack festival was a small suburban fun fair complete with the rides, the ferris wheel, the show bags, baby animals, performances, fireworks and a tent full of stuff you wouldn't really buy ( do you really need disco balls in your living room?) Ariff said it reminded him of "Pesta Penang" - all that was missing is the apek with Pagoda singlet selling kacang! Aerin was highly fascinated with all the rides but she was extremely scared to get down from her euculyptus tree. We tried to get her to play the games (albeit it was an excuse for us to play the games) and we ended up playing fish for the duck and throwing basketball into hoops in exchange for a measley soft toy made in in taiwan!
Although it was a wet weekend, we ended up shopping for Moreton Bay bugs at the local fish market. Yummy things they were - tastes like lobsters but kinder on the pockets!
I have been developing some strange food fetish all over again - assam, steaks, coffee tasting bad - does make me wonder whether I'm getting clucky again ;p
anyway, Wan Jue is arriving down on Friday so it should be a good weekend at Gold Coast ahead! Its the Queens holiday on Monday so we get some time off from work and some family fun!
Hope everyone take good care of themselves! Love heaps.

Hiya kiddos
Crakerjack and what have you - you sure know how to spend weekends. Hmmm assam... ? won't say more coz the Ozzies may rob me of the stuff before I reach you.
Hope Aerin's infection is getting better or you may soon need props for your back. maybe if you teach her to skate or rollerblade, she may use her legs again.
I will send pix of Nyla Comms when all signages are up. Many visitors are excited for me, saying it is a nice office and the 'feel i.e. fung shui' is good. I hope they are dead right.
The rains are here again and so are the frogs! Darn frogs - play hide n seek with me, but I'll get them yet. Want frog satay? or sweet sour?
Hmmmm.........
