Eirfan's 1st dentist appointment.

May 12th - 2009

Since couple nights back Eirfan told us that his had a cavity and his teeth is very pain. So I bring him to a near by dental clinic that applied for kids dental. The clinic here need to be booked first before doing any treatment. And for the kids below 12 years old, all their standard medical treatment are free of charged and covered by the government even we are non citizen of Japan. At first I was afraid that Eirfan will cry when we entered the treatment area. But he looked very cool and sit on the treatment chair by himself. After the dentist check his cavity, he said that it was a bit bad condition and he took an X-ray shot on that teeth. The result was a 50-50 condition but he said he will not pull the teeth out but if needed he will only take out the nerves of that teeth before fill the cavity. Luckily the cavity was not reach until the nerves but to fill the cavity Eirfan need to be anesthetize before start the treatment. But what was shocked is that the anesthetize shot also was not pain at all. Eirfan also was very cool and didn't cried at all. After his treatment finished, the dentist told that Eirfan also got some other tooth that need cavity protection. Most of them are small cavities and this mean that Eirfan need to return for this treatment every week until all his cavities are being filled.
Finally after what we promised to him before the treatment, we bring him to the Tomica Shop at Oasis 21 as his little treat for being brave during the dental treatment.

Being praised by the nurse.


Treatment time!


At Tomica Shop. He got himself a new Tomica pajama and a Tomica model car.

Daily routine

May 11th - 2009

This is my daily routine, before 8:20 am in the morning need to send Eirfan to the bus stop for his kindergarten's bus to pick him up. He will be back on 2:20 pm except Wednesday he will be home at 11:20 am. Most of the morning Yuri will accompany me to send Eirfan. She really wanted to go to kindergarten with Eirfan but she is still under aged. She was born in June so she need to wait until next April before can enter the kindergarten, but if she was born between January to 31st March she will enter the kindergarten by this year due to the school here start from 1st April. When picking up Eirfan at the bus stop, sometimes Yuri will follow me but most of the time she is having her noon nap with Eiqmal.

It's only about 3 minutes walk from our apartment to the bus stop.

The other side of Makinoike park

May 9th - 2009

Today we went to the other side of Makinoike Park...to be actual we went the the main entrance of the park. The nearest entrance from our house was the back side of the park. In order to go to the main entrance, the route was quite far. The park itself is a big park c/w golf course. The parking area at this side also very big and got playground for the kids and also there are a lot of shady trees that can be lie down below it. The play field itself also many. Even there is also a place for skateboarders here. As usual, after a light tit bits then they played their toys that we bring along to the park.

Can't insist his favour to take picture with this Audi.


We set our mat under a sakura tree.


Play time : Eirfan with his new toy gun

Toyota Automobile Museum

May 6th - 2009

On the half end of the Golden Week, the weather was not so good and rain for the whole day. We decided to go to Toyota Automobile Museum at Seto City and it's about 10km from our house. The museum is not only for Toyota cars only but it's a museum o the history of cars. The entrance ticket for adults is only 1000Yen and free of charge for children below 6 years old, so only me & my wife need to pay the ticket and the kids got their privilege again. At the main building there are one floor of the history of car itself and another floor is the history & development of Japanese cars. There is also a new annex beside the main building and it about the history of car in Japan after the world war 2.
Eirfan & Yuri really excited here. They really enjoy viewing all the cars, same as me, i also really enjoyed visiting this museum. I also impressed with the leaflets about the museum here..it almost got every main languages...even got my homeland language Bahasa Melayu version. Total of 16 different languages of leaflet are available and also got a special leaflet for kids too. The leaflet for kids got a stamp seal area that can be stamped at few corner of the museum. There is also a theme base event held here from time to time especially for the kids of course.
