Swimming Progress Check

Week of Dessert

It was Emeryn’s second week of swimming lesson. Basically this Intermediate course sharpens Emeryn’s skills on freestyle, back stroke and underwater submersion. Every morning, mummy sent Emeryn to the class while some of the days Ah Ma picked Emeryn after the class. Mummy took half day leave both on Mon & Tues for the swimming class arrangement and to settle the tenancy agreement. Emeryn attended daycare half day in the afternoon.

The whole of last week, it was a dessert week where mummy cooked red bean and sweet potato dessert soup. Emeryn’s preference for red bean soup is without the dried tangerine peels whereas she don’t like the sweet potato at all except for its sweet based soup.

Mummy’s cousin sis from KL came to Penang for a short trip with her bf and mum on Sat. All of us meet up for a family dinner at the new food court at Karpal Singh Drive. After the dinner, we continued the gathering over coffee at Macallum Connoisseur. The gathering ended around mid nite and Emeryn started to feel unwell.

On Sun, we were too lazy to go out for a meal. Thus we settled with a simple western breakfast and porridge for lunch. We went to Tesco to run some errand before meeting Carmen Ee Ee at the Four Faced Buddha for a prayer. After the prayer, we headed to Por Por’s house for our usual Sun visit and had our dinner there. For the month of Dec, mummy stopped Emeryn’s art class for a month due to our hectic schedule.

2016 Year End Holiday CHECKED

 

 Due to the high spending on renovation for our new home, mummy has not bought any flight ticket for this year end holiday. As for this school holiday, we have resorted to just a 2 days 1 nite kampung style holiday after Emeryn has completed her JAWS Intermediate Program. As the school holiday begins, Emeryn starts her 2 weeks swimming lesson at the Bukit Jambul Golf Club. On Mon, mummy has successfully booked a flight ticket to Busan, Korea on 2016 year end, bringing along Por Por, Ah Kong, Ah Pak and Ah Mou.

Mummy took leave on Tues as the Malay tenant is moving out from our old house and mummy spent the whole day cleaning the place and to get the plumber to fixed some of the plumbing issue before handing over the house to the new tenant. After the swimming lesson, Emeryn tagged along with mummy at our old place before going over to Pekaka after lunch.

Last week mummy tried making chilled mango with sago pearls but the texture came out a bit too thick. On Thurs evening, we went for a swim and Emeryn successfully swam from one end to another without stopping. A new achievement unlocked for her!!! On Sat, mummy woke up to a mess in Emeryn's room where she kept herself occupied making herself looking beautiful. She uses her make up kits and mummy's cosmetic to do a make over and wore her hair band. As for lunch, mummy cooked and we spent the whole afternoon at home catching up with our tvb series.  In the evening, we went to Hotel Seri Malaysia for the AGM of FV. It probably took us only an hour before we headed home again.

We woke up early on Sun and drove to town where we had dim sum breakfast with Ah Kong, Por Por and both Ee Ees with their spouses. Mummy's cousin bro and his family joined us for the breakfast too. After the breakfast we went to Beach Street along with Ah Kong & Por Por for the car free day event. We spent a short time there before going off as the day was very hot and humid. We were literally sweating. Mummy left Emeryn with Ah Kong & Por Por and she went home. Ah Kong & Por Por later sent Emeryn to her art class and mummy picked her up at 4pm.

Update from FB >>> Emeryn: Mummy, I have a good news for you. Me: Yes, what's that? Emeryn: I can swim freestyle very well already. Even my coach also said GOOD.
