Yauyau likes to help me put the dirty laundry into the washing machine. This is something she can do really well (so easy, isn’t it). However, it will take ages for her to finish dumping the whole pile into the machine; she has to put them in one piece at a time. Then she will quickly go scoop up some washing powered before mummy stop her. She knows that is the forbidden part, so she has to act fast.

After that, she will want to help out in the folding of the washed laundry too. She would announce that she is folding clothes, and then haphazdly “fold” the garment into a ball and pile them up somewhere. She can have all the fun she wants pretending folding clothes, but what I fear most is when she decides to help me put back the properly folded pile. Most likely, she will leave a trail of clothing all the way to the wardrobe.

It is difficult to stop these little kids to help out. I tried not to suppress her enterprising act though she is creating more work to me. Better let her practice and perfect her skill in anticipation of her becoming my personal assistant in future. Heh.

We are back from our weekend trip to KL again. No more funny request from the Malaysian Immigration to produce any train/bus ticket of any sort this time. Having checked my passport for my previous entry, I think what one of the commenter said was right; our passport weren’t properly stamped by the custom officer at Tanjong Pagar Train Station. Do check that the passports are properly stamped before entering the country to avoid any complications.

We made a trip to Putrajaya this time. Nothing is confirmed yet, but we might be relocating to Malaysia. Putrajaya is some kind of place my friends describe as 鸟不生蛋 (a place that even birds won’t visit). Hmm…they seem so wrong, with the vast open space and large number of trees, that should be some kind of birds’ paradise, isn’t it. Well, even though the trees, space and the ability to see the sky prove to be very tempting, our trip around the area made us come to the conclusion that Putrajaya will be deleted from our options.

The residential precinct are really different from any other Tamans you see around Malaysia. They are developed in such a way that there are no fences separating the houses. Low bushes or hedges are used instead. However, with the huge empty land spaces, I don’t understand why the houses are cramped into a minimal plot of land. Seems like the typical Asians concept of building houses - maximum build up area within the limited piece of precious land. Just imagine those chalets we see in East Coast Park, most of the developments there are quite similarly sandwiched.

Having tour around the area for an hour or so, I only came across one Muslim Kindergarten and don’t see any other establishments that will cater to children. That would be our deciding factor, Putra is out. We will find a place in PJ instead.
