Ok, this post is a bit late. We have officially moved last over a month ago to a place that is not so far from our old house.
Our orange house– pretty, isn’t it? It is a two-storey town home, with two rooms on the second floor. What we like about living in this house is it’s very close to the department store, to the bus stop and it has a quiet, lovely neighborhood.
Its space is just enough for our things, too. So hopefully, there will be no more house transfers for us in the next 3 to 5 years!
Housing subdivisions (moobans) like these are very common in Thailand. The rent would range from 5,500-8,000 THB if you are in Bangkok, and from 2,800- 3,500 in the provinces.
Our new house does not have an aircon for now– at first we were really doubtful we could go on for a month without it, but we managed to survive (LOL!). The best part about not having an aircon is that we did not have to pay anything for our electric bill for the past month because our bill was just less than 300 THB. When we saw the bill, we thought, “Who needs an aircon?.” Ha!

Roi celebrated his 6th birthday last March 23. We had a small but fun celebration at a friend’s house. We were supposed to hold it in our new place but we were considering about the bigger space and the internet connection that they have. My parents have also set time for us to skype on our little boy’s day, too so we needed a place that has a connection since we don’t have that as of the moment yet.
Guess what our Roi got for his day? We bought him a bike, which he fondly calls “Mr. Turbo”. He is very excited to go for a ride with friends every afternoon. I don’t know if he will really be driving a motorbike when he gets older– if he would, maybe we could get him a scala rider g9 for his 21st birthday!
Well, that seems to be a very long time from now– meantime we are just enjoying our little boy, which I still fondly call “my baby”!
And oh, sorry I have not uploaded photos yet– I will blog about our little party, promise!

Attending conferences with the kids could be quite a challenge, especially for moms like me. It would be difficult to keep them quiet and not distract anybody during sessions. I am just grateful about this conference that I recently attended– there is this childcare provided for, so it was so much relaxing and we could sit through sessions without having to worry about the kids.
Activities would vary from watching films, doing crafts, playing games, sing songs and learn verses. There are also toys provided though I have not seen a duncan yoyo being played. It’s probably because there are a lot of very young kids who could not play with it skillfully.
I am just happy to see the kids having a blast with other kids. I am sure they would miss their new buddies when we head back home to Bangkok tomorrow!
