In a blink of an eye, 5 weeks had flew by and it was time for Ah Yee and Athena to head home. Just like how it took us a few days to get used to Ah Yee and Athena in the house, I am sure that it would take us some time to get used to their absence. The only thankful thing would be Zaky returning to his room and I get my bed back. We were supposed to take turns to sleep on the floor but Zaky had all kinds of reasons when he was bunking in with us.
This particular trip, Nana was busy preparing for her Chinese O levels and then prelims and had much lesser time to spend with Athena. It was Zaky - the many afternoons and evenings at my brother’s place when Athena was there for her swimming lessons. The outings to Science Center and indoor playgrounds and the many make believe play, watching cartoons and playing board games together. Nana had her fair share of make believe and board games too in the evenings.
I was very surprised at how willing Zaky was in spending time with Athena bcos it is tiring to entertain a kid. Yay, I run far far; I had done my parts with my kids many years back. I am then reminded that Zaky has always been very nice to younger kids.
One of the good things is that Zaky had spent many dinners at my brother’s place. He really missed Popo and her cooking. He always raved about how great Popo’s food is after every dinner and Popp of course will cook all of his favourite food. Popo obviously missed him a lot too.
Zaky has decided that even after Ah Yee and Athena leave, he will go to my brother’s place weekly for dinner. That’s so sweet. I am sure Popo will welcome him but not sure of the rest. Hahaha.
We had many family dinners too, including a BBQ.
The kids had a good time running around.
We reenact an old picture.
This is the ending pose of the “John Lim Boo-boo Cracker” song that the big F composed when they were little, even before Athena existed. It was a meaningless silly song that brought back a lot of memories. Hahaha.
