Sy Turns Three ..

Well, well, well ...

He's 3 years old now. Sy got a remote controlled stunt car one day before his birthday. By October 28, the day of his Birth-Day, the car's spare tyres were broken. That happened even before Sy cut and eat his carrot cake. Yes, I made carrot cake for him. Simply because I don't know many cakes to bake and because I like carrot cake, so do Sy and the rest of us.

Enter Day 3 after his birthday, he lost half of his interest in the car. Now, almost one week after, his interest only remains in the car's remote control, which he sometimes uses as a handphone. The car remains there untouched, most of the times. But once the sister touches the car, suddenly his interest comes back, in full! And he thinks he's cute, by doing that!!!

A had 'her convocation' day on Sunday. She looked really happy, as we just let her play with her friends, running around freely, something she is seldom allowed to do.
The event was a bit chaotic, being the Kemas division's first of such event. But then, if you had to handle more than 500 children and hundreds of parents at the same time, any event could easily become chaotic.
Still, I think the organiser has managed quite well. To be honest, I really enjoyed the children's performances. Although far from perfect, I could see they really enjoyed themselves and tried to give their best, and that's most important to me. We stayed until almost the end of the show. But I know Am didn't quite enjoy it. I could see from his face. He dozed off 80 per cent of the time. Really, even if I think hard enough for like 10 years, I'm sure I still can't tell what he enjoys and what he doesn't. Some things are just hard to tell ...

but,

Sometimes, being at such an event makes me feel that I actually DO have a life, that my life is not only around two children and a husband, that there are other things besides our home sweet home and unfriendly workplace.

I just want to be NORMAL ...
