A new development in our NZ visa application, papa was interviewed via phone. The notification letter come few weeks ago and today is the appointed date. We were both nervous. Papa did some research and I contacted my friends in NZ. In my opinion it went well, papa sounded calm and answered the questions clearly. Well, we'll have to wait for another 3 weeks to know the result.

My life now: wake up at 07.00 or later :P (papa prepares the breakfast and Tio's lunch), take a bath, pack Tio's lunchbox and Jeremy's food, ride my bike with Jeremy around AIT sometime (to buy food and, rarely, feed the fish), go home, give Jeremy a bath, browse the internet while Jeremy is playing, prepare lunch for me and Jeremy. At 13.00 my maid comes, mops the floor, irons the clothes, washes the dishes. Usually Jeremy naps from 10.00-12.00 but when he wakes up late, he naps at 12.00 or later. Then 15.00 Tio goes home. Help Tio taking his bath, cook our dinner while my maid watch the kids (mostly Jeremy as Tio can play independently now). Take a shower, set the washing machine, remove the food from the electric stove and keep the stove away so my maid can do the dishes (our kitchen is so small that if I don't keep the stove and the food the water will spray on them). The kids get hungry at 16.30 so I feed Jeremy while my maid feed Tio (must admit, I let them watch movie coz Jeremy won't sit still even for just one minute without it). Then at 18.00 my maid goes home. I prepare my own dinner just before she goes home. Papa usually comes soon after or 1-2 hours later when he has training to take care of. Then at night after sweeping the house and washing the dishes, I take some me time watching movies (first was Desperate Housewives, then Pretty Little Liars, then Gladiator, then now I start watching Heroes, it's very gruesome, I didn't know it and I watched it while eating my lunch), I usually end up sleeping at 01.00.

Our maid is good and she has good chemistry with my kids, but somehow not with me. Oh well, I have to tolerate more because I've experienced the worse. It just won't work if the maid doesn't click with the kids. She comes on Mon-Fri. On weekends I sweep and mop the house and clean the bathroom while papa iron the clothes.



Tio will have his graduation on 28 June and he will perform "If we hold on together" with his friends ;)) my big boy is going to kindergarten now. Then he will join summer school which is arranged by some of the mothers (because the school won't arrange any this time). Let's see how it goes
