last friday, we all went out for pizza. it was supposed to be 10 kids and 7 adults. but uda got stuck at kl central as the lrt was down (again!), so mummy and abah went to pick her up, after depositing the 5 girls that were with them.
but it was really not bad. The kids were generally well-behaved, more intent on eating than anything else, and boy, did they eat. We ordered two sets of the family meal, so we had 4 pizzas, 12 soups, 16 bread sticks and 2 pitchers of soda, and we ordered one more pitcher just in case. everyone finished at least one bowl of soup and a slice of pizza. syazmi and amjad had 4 slices *each*.
it was after they finished tucking in that things got a little noisy. sarah decided she wanted to dance to the music. then azraf and sufeeya found themselves playing peek-a-boo with a young woman at the other side of the panel. but by then, we have finished eating so time to go.

tkd again
I really need to remember I have a blog :).
the second lesson of taekwando, we came early. so the kids went through the whole warm-up routine. the stretching went fine, etc etc and then they had to run around the place 5 times (at least!) poor azraf. he kept up, but as soon as they finished that routine, he came out of class, ran to me, and said he was tired. I would think so! and then he refused to go back to class -- alamak!
sunday, he had a fever, just a tad actually, but enough for him to be happy to miss TKD. the next friday, he plain decided he wasn't going. we'll see this week.

tae kwan do
As of 4 August, Azraf is now officially registered in the tae kwan do club. I think there's someone else his age, unless she's just small for a 4 y.o.
He has been so eager to enrol. This guy would be TKD'ing by himself at home, following the moves he saw when watching the older ones in their TKD class. We were thinking July but July just rolled through and we just waited for August.
So I had him registered, and he got his uniforms straight away. But then shyness struck. He didn't want to change into the uniform and joined the class that was already going on. But I managed to coax him by promising to stand just outside the training area. So he changed, and went in, I don't think the Master was quite thrilled at first to have another newbie who seemed just too young to take in his instructions :). But he was pretty patient. And a few steps (or whatever you call their moves), Azraf went into the swing of things. Too enthusiastic especially when they were doing the kicking moves in twos. His favourite part of course was when they got to shout 'tae kwon do.'
We've been teasing Hania that soon Azraf will catch up with her, and at the rate she is going, that's not impossible!
current standings.
Ilya & Syazmi: Black Belt 1st Poomse
(congratulations! they just earned their black belt this month, and are justifiably proud, they're asking to have the certs framed on the living room wall for everyone to see).
Amjad: Red
Syakira: Blue
Hania: Yellow Green
Azraf: White
the grades: white - white yellow - yellow - yellow green - green - green blue - blue - blue red - red - red black - black belt 1st poomse - (I'm not sure what they call the upper grades of black belt, I'll know when the kids move up :)).

stinky arms
did you know that if you rub your arms together, your arms will smell very stinky?
hania was doing this, and then Grandma said "nanti bau busuk, macam tahi ayam," and hania smiled and nodded, indicating that was her intention anyway.
that got everybody else's attention. so Syakira and Amjad and Hania and even Grandma were rubbing away and going 'ewwww' and then going hysterical. Poor Syazmi was doing his very best to smell the stinky smell but for reasons unknown, he couldn't smell it, even when the others were going 'ewwww'.
Mummy and Ibu were just laughing watching them doing this. We didn't know this before. So now we do, and so do you.
