Little Miss in K1

Oh how time flies !

This is the second week of Kindergarten 1 for our Little Miss A, she loves her new school here in Bangkok and her Teachers told me that she was very pleasant girl since day 1, lucky me *grin*

Photo above taken this morning, Wednesday is Taekwondo day, she was very proud of her outfit and her high front kick movement, she showed it to everybody before we get in to the cab this morning, what a Cutie.

Piece of Mind

In our private calendar today marked our 1 month staying in Bangkok. Many things happened ever since,for me 90% of it was great discovery and the 10% is a feeling of slowly loosing my inner peace.

Normally, when I'm stressed I go to the kitchen and bake my heart out, since we're still living in Shangri-La apartment which has a very nice kitchenette (with electric stove and Microwave oven) I'm not even dare to prepare our own breakfast (real truth : can't be bother to clean - up afterwards, LOL). On that note, baking is out of question.

Then recently, I've been having nightmares (some are very weird ones, not worth to be mentioned in details) and my sleeping pattern changed, I'll be fast asleep at 10 pm and woken up around 2 am with no ability to go back to bed no matter how hard I tried *siigghh* so I pray, quietly at my own pace, hoping that all this phase just a temporary thing .. it lasted the whole week ! I'm still functioning to my daily task of keeping my Little - one entertained (thanks to coffee) but I'm feeling sluggish and edgy at the same time.

I started talking to Hubby about going to the Buddhist Temple called Wat Phra Kew for the upcoming Sunday last week, "I need to have my soul cleansed so I can sleep at night" I told him,knowing me and my superstitious background he agreed and off we go. We spent the whole afternoon visiting the temple's ground and the surrounding, I prayed with hundreds of people inside the temple, all with their own wishes, it was crowded yet so peaceful.

Must say the truth as a result of that peaceful weekend, I sleep better these days, no more nightmares, I think one way or another my wandering thoughts just accept the fact that everything will fall in place .... at a time.

We are HERE

Sawasdee Kha,

Greetings from Krung Thep (Bangkok) !!!

As some of you know we left Jakarta couple weeks ago to start our new venture in this vibrant city. I must say that it is very easy for me to settling down here since its still in Asia, love the food, enjoyed the warm climate and I also have some really good friends who lived here (yes, it helps A LOT). For my Hubbby, its a great opportunity for him to work in the new environment, bigger property and new challenges. Unfortunately for our little one its not so easy, in the first week she told me (almost daily) that she wants to go home to Jakarta, the second week (when I dragged her a long for house hunting) she just breakdown and cry every time I sat her into the Housing Agent car backseat (poor thing). 

This week I'm putting her needs (play, friends, toys) on top of my list, I'm taking her to FUNARIUM tomorrow, playdates on Wednesday, British Club swimming Thursday and movie on Friday. Hopefully, she will be back to her happy-chirpy-mood by the weekend so we all can have a breather *siiiggghhhh*

Since we made our mind last weekend to the area where we want to live here in Bangkok and finally found our dream home yesterday I just can't wait for our shipment to arrive in couple of weeks and open our 202 boxes (yeaahhh, all those baking stuff ARE fragile, they need lot's of wrapping *LOL*) then ... start baking again !!! 

On that note, must go now and entertain the little one (Ariel wish for today : go to Skytrain station, hop on the train, go to Siam - Paragon for endless Merry- go-round and a new book to read then back home ), will keep you posted.
