How are you today?

[PhilippeD]

Do you know how it look a meter long stripe of red lip on a wall?

Me I know!!!


***************

Every night before go sleep I learn some basic to my older girl, she ask for it.
We count her 10 finger in english, in Bahasa and in French
We learn the color in the 3 same language.
And we said the alphabet, first just telling them and than singing the alphabet song.


Yesterday I was walking alone with the older one and thinking she must start to know the alphabet I ask her to told me it.
With a big proud smile she told me: A B C D W X Y Z

Ok... We still have work to do!

So how consistent are you? By that I mean: The ideal picture is that the parents speak their own language with the children. But all together they speak a 'common language'. So I speak Dutch, my wife BI and together we speak English. Worked pretty well, almost fluent in three languages. The only problem could be the writing skills. And more and more you will be pulled in and tempted to speak BI as well. Don't.

Now it's mostly dual, bahasa and english.
I talk english with my wife and bahasa with the kid... And my kid still have a malaysian accent because of Upin & Ipin.

In some week the older one will go to school where she will learn english.
I start to talk to her more and more in French. Me and my wife are thinking of swithcing to French... We will see

Hi Nina
Just write how you are feeling today.

It's funny how life can be boring with nothing happening for may day and suddenly everything happen in same time.

Yesterday when my wife left... I mean when she try to leave, she got stopped by a snake rolled around the bar of the gate just upper the handle. Quite hard to miss it was right in our face. It's me who was appointed to get rib of it... With a big comotion about "don't get bite".
With a stick I make it fall. It's funny how those little thing (60cm) are always ready to fight.

Finally he run in the sewer. Later I learn by internet ulat tambang are not venimous... But not sure.
Anyway it reapear 5 minute later and I let the kid have a look at him... From a distance!

My wife was on her way for delivery to our customer at the nearby toyato. It's kind of practicle to have the people at a consessionary as customer when you buy a car.
They told my wife the "we will get our car before the 20" is today and we will have the car tomorrow.

YEAH!

And this morning the electricity drop at 9, probably for the rest of the day.

BOOH!

This team will not get a fifth attempt..

I use a very good guy for my AC, good and fair price.
The only problem is... It can pass a month in between I call him for service the ac and the time he will point out!



Yesterday morning we finally got the car at the indonesian time (24 hour late than what they said).
My first impression when I saw it: What a cheap ugly car... It is what a bought, a cheap car. I don't complain about it, it just it was looking even more cheap than when I saw it in the concessionary.


After driving it 5 minute, my wife had the same comment without know of my first impression which I had keep for me.
Anyway, it's a business purpose car (delivery) and transport for the kid to school... Not a car for show off.

Alia, before go for the first ride we let the kid a 5 minute inside the car, they didn't cause problem when we ride.

So far the first impression ride was good and I'm quite "happy" with it (for the price).

Does anyone know what is the goal to have 5 "wake up" alarm in a car? Not the security alarm, the clock come with the possibility to put 5 alarm.
I will never use that and I can't even think of who would use that and for what?

[jstar]

Bwah. It's not a big deal, don't worry about it. The smaller cars always have to 'boxy' to offer an efficient inside space. And that is often not very pleasing to the eye. (It's a bit similar to the Japanese Kei cars.)

Are you sure the 'alarm clock' is not the facility for customized odometer settings for trip reports? Have a pic?
