This is the gleeful face of the boy who conquered swimming class! In the car before class, he was reluctant to go, but agreed to do just one task in the class. He said he would do the "dragon wings" task, but nothing else. Funny enough, he exceeded his own expectations and ended up participating in every.single.task! The lesson went by in a flash and I was surprised when it was over.
I had been dreading class today, thinking I'd be going through the same old motions of dragging a baby donkey to the water. WWHD..."What Would the Husband Do?", I asked myself. The husband would show up and do it anyway. That gave me the mettle I needed to stick with the difficult feelings and support him.
It was our fourth class and another breakthrough. Definitely a little victory today.
Val came by at lunchtime and we went to check out E-Pacs, a wholesaler that specialises in vegetarian food (mock meats and the like) but also stocks lots of Singapore/Malaysia food. They have frozen fish paste, otak, yong tau foo, chwee kueh, and even packs of frozen durian flesh. Familiar brands like Brands essence of chicken, Old Town coffee, Yeo's and Ayam brand lined the shelves. There was assam laksa paste, rose syrup, and heong piah. I left with a packet of frozen Bergadil, two packs of sugary gem biscuits and a packet of Kopi O Kosong.
Definitely nostalgic food and while it took me 5 years to finally visit this place, I'm glad I made it here! They run a cafe on weekends that's apparently very popular and has the best nasi lemak. Perhaps worth a trip here one Saturday morning.
