We had a great weekend, and got a lot done. I also managed to play catch ball and go swimming with Zen both mornings, and also played a lot of guitar, focusing on scales and soloing.
On Saturday, Zen did his homework, we went swimming and played catchball, then headed downtown to see School Of The Arts (SOTA), where Zen may study his junior high school and high school years, if he’s accepted into either the music or theatre streams. We sat in on three seminars and learned a lot about the programmes, and got a great tour of the school, including the rooftop, and the canteen, and the music rooms. Wow! It’s a great campus, right in the heart of the downtown, full of lots of enthusiastic people. We also ran into friends of ours, whose daughter has just started the school and just loves it.
After that we had a nice dinner at Chili’s, and headed home by cab. Tried to watch The Wizard Of Oz, but Zen fell asleep near the middle. Watch the rest tomorrow.
Sunday we woke up, did homework and other studies, and hung around listening to music. Zen and I went swimming and played catchball again, hanging out a bit with Alejandro, Pilar, and baby Inez, then headed back. I wrote a lot on the blog, which was good fun, then practiced guitar all afternoon. We had a nice dinner and tried to finish Wizard Of Oz in the evening, but it malfunctioned on us. Darn!
Check out the cool nasi lemak Naoko made with Japanese ingredients:

When we went to the pool on Saturday, Zen and I found a baby coconut in a strange position next to the concrete, we’ve adopted him! We hope he likes our home, because he’s awesome!!!
Our coconut!
