Chicken Pox , Pasta, Birthday, Xmas, Europe and a Wii

Hi again, been slack with the blogging, but who reads anyway?

A few weeks back Rose got chicken pox....who knew hey! She never had it as a child and was exposed to it by our nephew Kurtis. Anyway, she spent an annoying week at home trying not to scratch. Luckily, I've had it (well 99% sure), and Aimee was vaccinated :) Rose is fit and well and back at work now!.

The other annoying aspect to chicken pox was that we had booked an Italian Cooking class that was a xmas gift for us and the WongChu's from Lars last year. Of course -Rose with pox couldn't attend - and the cancellation policy ...."tough"- no refund or credit and you can't reschedule. So I ended up going without Rose. The course itself was enjoyable, made fresh pasta - and the eating part was the best, though the lack of cancellation policy left a slightly sour taste.

The WongChu's are heading to HK and Europe for a month - Xmas in Paris (very nice). As it was Wongy's B'day last weekend, and they fly tomorrow, we had dinner last Saturday as a bit of a happy b'day/farewell/merry Xmas get together. We went over early and played on their Wii, which I've kindly volunteered to look after while they're O/S...look out high scores - not. The whole gang was there, Us*3, Jeff, Kitty, Lars, Craig, Thao, Mariana, Renato and the boys (who mainly slept....). We went to the Asia's Restaurant in Lindfield. Very nice, I especially like the soft shell crab and chilli eggplant. Yum. Aimee was relatively good for the night...no major incidents to report - and she scored early Xmas presents :)

Anyway, enough for now - blogul8r.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter anyone :)

Thursday was very exciting, apart from selling the house, we had some great news from Mariana and Renato, that they are expecting twins. Wow - what do you say...amazing.

We've had a busy 4 day w/e so far. Friday was spent completing a build of a PC and laptop (Umart), then delivering to our brother and sister in-law. Had to setup the internet, network, desktop, wireless Laptop and a printer as well. Good fun for a geek like me :)

Saturday we visited our friends for dinner a some Wii action on a 50inch plasma. Very addictive and the graphics were impressive on the HD TV. Unfortunately - I was tired and fell asleep with Aimee....not good company I'm afraid.

Today, we went to a family easter get together with my aunt/uncle and cousins. Lots of kids, and Aimee seemed to enjoy herself running around, though she managed to get a small cut over her eye. Way too much chocolate was consumed by all. ;)

Just watched the Malaysian F1 GP, mostly boring but nice to see McLaren one-two finish. Mark Webber had a "consistent" race, placed 1oth and not lapped.

Have been experimenting with blog layouts, Rose prefers this layout, and I don't mind it, so we will stay with it for now.
