After a week in Adelaide..

It's freezing here in Adelaide.. today it's extra cold - 10 degrees Celsius at the moment. Right now I'm wishing for Malaysia's hot and humid weather (where I'll be wishing for a cooler weather - human beings are weak creatures who are not satisfied with what they are given..Astaghfirullah!) Anyway, here I am.. already a week here in Adelaide. Arrived from Melbourne last Wednesday. I was in Melbourne for about a day; reaching Melbourne before midnight on Tuesday 2nd of October and then catching another flight to Adelaide early Wednesday evening.. It was good to see the grandchildren again - Umayr is much friendlier now (doesn't mind being hugged and kissed - used to emphatically say 'no!' if you get anywhere near him) but little Ammar is being wary of strangers.. And what about the new brother? Amru is such a sweet little baby.. sleeps most of the time and not fussy at all!

And here he is..sleeping peacefully

Here is Umayr having fun on his trampoline

And Ammar upset because his brother has taken away the chair that he used to climb up the trampoline..

Mowing the overgrown backyard now that it's spring..

Orange tree at backyard

Sweet and juicy

Peaches - growing..

Apricots - still green..

On Sunday we left Kak Long and the baby and went to 'Jack Cross' Sunday Market. Time to stock up on fresh food - usually cheaper here. It's just like the night market (Pasar Malam) in Malaysia only it's during daytime..

Bang Long with the Kailan we bought (3 bunches for $2)

Frozen ikan kembung or mackerel they call it here

Umayr posing for the camera

Well..what do you know...they sell scarves for Muslimahs too!

Ammar scowling for the camera..lol

Tuesday was Umayr's school day. He goes to Kindy school twice a week.. (Tuesdays and Thursdays - I think all they learn there is mostly social skills..). Umayr wanted to bring his baby brother for show 'n tell but his mom said no.. so he just had to be satisfied with the truck he got at 'Jack Cross'!

Ammar sending brother off, too. Umayr with a hat on to play outdoors in the hot sun (what hot sun??)

Here's Ammar looking cute and confident in the chilly weather..

And here he is keeping warm, and watching his favourite movie on the ipad

 A few pics from Melbourne:

The 'halal' KFC at Weribee shopping centre where I went shopping with friends

The 4 lovely kids (Yahya, Raudhah, Taufiq and Afiq) belonging to the friend whom I stayed with in Melbourne. Thanks guys!

It's sleeting outside and I'm very eager to zip up into my sleeping bag right now. I hope the weather will get warmer soon..I still have 5 more weeks to go... help!
