Tenby, Wales, in January

Ram and I are in Tenby now. We came together with Fahrul and Najla last saturday. Sita Stayed back in Malaysia as she has commitments to satisfy in Kerteh,and since Najla is already in school, albeit playschool, we thought she should not miss it and since we have the time we can help look after her for a while. So, here we are in Tenby.

The weather now is cold, very cold and wet. I do not mind the cold weather so much but when it rains coupled with strong winds, gloomy skies, and wet grounds, I prefer to remain indoors. It has been raining every day since we arrived and for long stretches of time every time. Ever since we were here we saw the sun for only two hours yesterday!! The rest of the time was gloomy. So, we have been at home all the time except when we have to send Najla to school and back.

All dressed up for school- No that's not a ballet stand!!
Must not forget my lunch box



Monday, apart from going to school, Najla attends ballet class in the late afternoon. It is held at the Leisure Center, a Community Center, where various facilities are available. There is a large swimming pool, and several indoor courts. We sent her there and waited while she attended ballet lessons which was fo about half an hour. Apparently there are several classes for various age groups and various stages of ballet lessons. Najla is still in the beginners class. As soon as class was over she headed straight for the cafeteria and ordered slush and a doughnut. She finished the whole doughnut and the slush, a fizzy shaved ice drink, which for Najla, it is a rarity to finish all the food and drink in front of her. We were quite surprised and thought she must be hungry after all the ballet movements in the class. We found out later that it has been her standard practice tp gp tp the cafetria after each ballet class!! Motivation to attend ballet class perhaps.

She is adapt at playing alone and sometimes transport into a make believe environment. She also seem to enjoy musical sounds and do sing to herself sometimes. So I spend time with her, singing along with her children songs and nursery rhymes and other times talking to her about school, what she likes and general things like that. She can be talkative when she wants to!
