I have neglected my blog!!! Very bad especially for a fresh blogger. Abaden... only Mr Ababe has been reading my blog... he he.. He also noticed the number of days with no blogging and chided me for not being serious. Sorry..been busy with work and adapting to life with Ababe Jr going to school etc etc etc...
Anyway, today's a Friday and Monday is Chinese New Year. So would like to wish my Chinese friends a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year... 2009 is year of the ox!! Mr Ababe and I are both born on this year so maybe some luck will rub on us...
Ababe Jr is currently behaving well. Everyday I have to highlight the subject that would most attract him just to get him into the mood:-
Monday - Swimming
Tuesday - Computer
Wednesday - Gym
Thursday - TV / Library
Friday - Music
Phew!!!! Thank God for timetables which were really meant for pre-schoolers.
He'll be on holiday till Wednesday, hope I'll be able to get him interested to go to school again on Thursday!!
We'll be going back to our house this long weekend and unlike the Chinese, we'll be cleaning up the house... Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

Second day of pre-school
First day went fine... Second day, Ababe Jr had to ride the van to and from school. We sent him off in the morning and he was ok.. I then drove to school to check him out without his knowledge. Peeped through the small window at the back door and saw him half lying on the table, doing some colouring, am assuming that he's bored to death.. He hates drawing or writing, maybe he just doesn't have the patience yet! Anyway, I managed to slip away unnoticed, went back home and updated my facebook.
Almost towards end of schooling, Mr Ababe and I went to check him out again getting on the van, then rushed back home and waited. He came back home happy and full of stories, in my opinion more excited of being back home knowing that the school day is over....whooshhhh...
I had to go to work in the afternoon, of course not by choice, and of course Ababe Jr threw a tantrum when he found out that mummy was going to work but all's well that ends well.. Ababe Jr was appeased, mummy got to go to work and washing machine went kaput!

First day of pre-school
It is Ababe Jr's first day at pre-school yesterday (5 Jan 2009). We knew he would cry because he usually cries anyway if we leave him at Ikea's play area. Anyway, he was fine when we first arrived, left him in class and told him that we will be waiting for him...
Suddenly, when Teacher Shanti closed the door, the door swung opened and a few kids ran out screaming and crying looking for their parents. Oh no!!! I was sure it would create a domino effect and the rest would start crying too... And Yes!!! Mr Ababe confirmed he saw Ababe Jr's shoulders were shaking (signs of silent crying). But the teachers were already consoling the kids so everything is A-OK except for those who ran out...
Auntie Celia (the van driver) will be driving him home today. We saw him lining up waiting for the van and once he was on the van we walked towards the car to wait for him at home. That's when he saw us!!! He immediately shouted "Mummy! Mummy!" and cried! Auntie Celia consoled him and drove off. By the time he reached home he was already fine and enjoying the ride.. Auntie Celia said he only cried for a short while...
Phew!!! First day is over...

Introduction
I have always wanted to start blogging but had never had the time to really sit down and do it... so here goes nothing!!!! I am the wife of Mr Ababe and the mom of Ababe Junior... so I will identify myself as Mrs Ababe. My main purpose of starting this blog is to leave a legacy to my husband, my son, and hopefully my other children (with God's willing)...Hopefully through this blog I will be able to journal our journey through life, looking at it through not just my perspective but maybe also from others... My next blog will be a short descriptive life we have had for the past almost 9 years together, and the past 4 years since we had Ababe Jr.. Then from there we will start our future journey afresh. Once in a while when I am reminded of something which happened during the past 18 years of my relationship with Mr Ababe, then there will be an occasional down memory lane blogs... So please, bear with me.
