Eetle and playdate!

Wht a weekend it was! Saturday we drove the Swift to a used car dealer. Turn out the salesperson was quite a nice guy and I don't feel bad leaving the car there. When dear signed all the necessary forms and whatnot,I was left in the car with Aresha sleeping on my lap. I almost got teary eyed (emo la sangat) and funnily enough I actually bid farewell (read: literally talking to the car, saying goodbye and thanks and hope she'll fall to a good hand)Oh dear! I'm gonna miss our compact, but just enough to accomodate the three of us lil' Swift :(



After waiting for almost 2 hours (including roti telur & choc Vitamilk session at nearest mamak)
We finally ride on our '68 Beetle. Definitely a different experience but so much fun! Aresha was stunned the first half hour. She seems to sit back, enjoy the ride, inhaling the natural air condition and fell asleep right after that! It is a good sign indeed! She's comfy and all and kept saying 'Eetle best!' (insert thumbs up here)
I even suggested tht we watch 'Mukhsin' to celebrate, lol! Not today..we need to (at least dear think that)get to the famous VW spare parts supplier @ Jln Ipoh to get some regular service. We don't want to be stranded by the roadside, do we?
Before heading home, we decided to take a bite @ our usual drive-thru. Aresha had so fun, her face show it all, with the wind blowing her hair, priceless!
Tho' this is just a temp VW before dear got(and still looking) his '67... I must say riding in a VW is so much like riding on a Harley! Why? (Since u can only feel the a/c when the weather is not too humid)The sound itself plus vibration is very similar to a Harley. All in all we LOVE it!


The next day, we went out on a playdate @ Kidzsport (again! Had 3 vouchers to redeem before 31st) with ET, Apek & their kids the English speaking Taha & oh-so brave Ainul, Kecik & Nadia. All of us had a blast! Apek has to catch Taha who ran around ALL the time :) The always smiling Ainul can't get enough of the pool of balls. Dear and Kecik having the time of their life bullying the kids (and Aresha too!) in a miniature football field while me & Nadia, we had some catching up sessions before taking turn to watch Aresha as the big boys went to Amcorp Mall. While sipping orange juice and munching currypuffs & muffins, I can't help but amazed by Taha's English vocab and his politeness. I know Aresha's taking her babystep to talk and build sentences, I'm not gonna push her so hard and let her have her own pace. Being a mom these days is not easy!
We promised each other to meet up for more playdates in the future. After her 3rd visit, Aresha's now really familiar with the playground and she even went down the slide on her own for the first time while mommy busy catching up with her friends! Wow! Marlia even told me tht Aresha couldn't find her way up to the slides but still didn't give up! That's my girl!
I managed to drag Nadia to accompany me for grocery shopping before she gave me a lift to Bangsar to meet up with dear and Kecik. Aresha really enjoyed the ride as she run her hands on Nad's dashboard and cushion, giving another thumbs up! :))
We went to Bangsar Village II, our turn to accompany her on a shopping spree followed by fruit and vege picking @ the pasar malam, hehe.

It's all good except for the curried mee goreng. Poor Nad,should've followed our instinct to go to tht banana leaf restaurant, kan? Next time, I promise!
