hari raya #2

nothing much except for a CG barBQ (i think i've forgotten how to spell the actual word).

our leader B8 & his wife share almost similar birthdates, so the wives of the other members decided to throw them a (sort of) surprise birthday barBQ last nite. held at a condo pit, the kids...

...kept themselves busy at the pool while the adults fired up the pit. is it a normal thing at barBQs that it's often just 1 or 2 persons who end up doing most of the grilling?

same occurence again yesterday.

some of the kids tried their hands at it as well....


thanks to the ladies who bought, sliced & marinated, there's chicken wings, hotdogs......

.....& jacket potatoes.....

& even ikan panggang.



even though it's B8 & wife's birthdays, the kids got into the act as well....

& behaved like it's their own - they actually blew at the candles.

one advantage of having a barBQ at a condo was that the kids, who by & large were more concerned with playing with each other than eating, had the space to do so....



& this little eager-beaver was dubbed the chair stacker...

i found the seventh pic ..kids blowing the candles bit very amusing. one thing abt my kid... he doesnt have many opps to mingle around like this. he is oways coming n going to and from structured activities. it isnt healthy but i dont have many frens who bring their kids along in the activities

Beng,

i can identify with your situation, which is why we try to let him socialise with other kids as much as possible. currently, most of his friends are from church.

Barbeque....ok?


In my CG, the oldest member shares the same birthday as me...born in 1925!

Just me,

we in sarawak r still living in concern at the moment due to the dreaded cowsackie thingy. at the moment kids r advised to keep away from public places as much as possible. sleepless nights worrying like last night when Benghui started to get sick but i dont think it is the dreaded thingy. jus the average every day virus. the problem is with patients going to clinic etc, there is an element of risk jus by visiting the doctor.

Beng,

i still remember when we were affected by the same thing in the late 90s. in fact my daughter got HFMD twice! but she recovered completely without any complications.

i hope the threat will go away soon in sarawak.
