Daisy's Birthday

This evening we celebrated Daisy's birthday.  We are very lucky to have such a great amah taking care of our family.  We went to Susie's Corner for a delicious steak dinner.  Daisy opened her gift from us (a DVD player for her room) and since the DVD-guy was there with his pirated movies, she was able to pick out some new releases to go with her present.  At home we ate birthday cake and sang happy birthday!

Landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa

Last night a massive landslide occurred in Bukit Antarabangsa.  Bukit Antarabangsa is hillside community about 5 km from where we live currently.  Many of the families from ISKL live in the area including our friends, the Woodwards.   They live above where the landslide occurred and were stranded.  The landslide totally wiped out the only road that leads to the upper part of the hill along with electricity and utilities.  Everyone has been evacuated. The Woodwards had to evacuate their home with their three small children and hike around the landslide on a footpath through the jungle (you can read more on their blog here).  Luckily, the grandparents live nearby and the family can stay there until they are able to gain access to their home.
