Que Sera Sera: Our summer

Coming back to this blog, I almost feel nervous because being absent for a while, I have lot to catch up. Like overdue homework! But it's never too late in this case. Our 7 weeks away went by really fast. After flying over 20,000km to Singapore with a 5 hour layover in Charles de Gaulle, the girls and I were more than ready to stay put for a while. We did for about 4 weeks, had a good time just hanging out with grandpa and grandpa. After Singapore, we went to Vietnam for 2 weeks. We started from Hanoi, did a boat trip at Halong Bay, flew to Saigon, took a 5 hour bus ride to Mui Ne where we had total relaxation for 5 days and then back to Saigon. The girls did so well during the trip so in the end, it was another satisfying holiday.

Another 20,000km and we're back home. To be honest, it is good to be back in a routine and now both girls are in the same school. I'm 'forced' to do the school runs since kinder 1 students are not allowed on the school buses as yet. In fact, Sera and Yassy are in some kind of a 'probation' until the approving party give the green light that they are ready for the bus. That is, Sera is mature enough to take care of Yassy in the bus, walk her to her classroom, walk herself back to her own classroom and finally, take care of Yassy on the journey back home. We think they'd do fine but we will wait ... patiently.

We have a new addition to our family and that is a little (well he's actually growing fast) orange tabby. We have named him Zuma. In Arab, it means 'peace' and in Mexican it actually derives from the name Moctezuma, who was one of the greatest ruler of the Aztec empire. Now what a good name hey. More about him in the next post.
