A Sunday with the Kids...

Roshan took half the day off from work yesterday so we brought the kids to Marina. We like Marina Square because it's not as crowded as the other jam-packed heartland shopping centres.

We went for our meal at Cavana first and Fuddin was pretty well behaved as we had bought his beloved fries from Macs beforehand (smart planning!). After a good meal, we went to John Little and Fuddin just went crazy. With new found energy; he was sprinting the whole of John Little! We finally had to resort to bribing him with a mini lollipop!




We then decided the kids had enough of the indoors so we let them loose. They had a good time wandering aimlessy and basically just being kids. Fuddin managed to get the front of his shirt all wet as he attempted to dip his fingers (and almost all of himself) into the water feature. Ayra was more obsessed with the little tree; wrapping her arms around it and gleefully posing for the camera. Ahh..to be a kid again. You lose all sense of inhibitions.



After that, we walked round aimlessly for a while as Fuddin was pretty uncooperative and Ayra was just running all over the place in her new high heel shoes. Urggh! Sometimes I wonder why I ended up with such mischivous children. Then it occured to me that both of them did not take their customary afternoon nap hence the hyper and grumpy attitude.

So we decided to go to Wak tijah's house for a visit. On the way there, an eerie silence descended upon us. ayra had fallen asleep in the front seat and fuddin? Haha...he had fallen asleep standing up! My poor little baby boy!




So I had a 20 minutes break as well but as soon as we reached our destination, they were up, bright eyed and ready to go. Haha! So we went to Wak Tijah's house and Ayra and Abah had a good time playing with this interative game set... Wii? Is that what you call it? Anyway, they had a ball playing (especially sports deprived Roshan) and dear Fuddin was the over excited, jumping cheerleader who positioned himself at the best available spot... in front of the telly!




Ahh...what a Sunday!

A Good Friday

It's the Good Friday holiday and in fact, it's not too bad a Friday. We woke up early and brought the kids to IMM where we proceeded to the kids' play area. What can I say? The photos and the video (hopefully to be loaded soon) speak for themselves.

Ayra turns 5!

Yup, my litle girl turns 5! We were supposed to throw her a HUGE bithday bash but that didn't work out so we had 3 small little parties for her instead. being the sporting trooper that she is, she didn't mind one bit. It didn't hurt that she still received loads of presents. Aunt Fiza and her sis were even kind enough to bake personalized cupcakes for her...complete with her name! Thanks Aunt Fiza...the cupcakes were lovely to look at and even lovelier to eat!

Anyway, Ayra has promised to be a good girl from now on, now that she's older and all (but truthfully...its been 2 weeks but she's still as mischievous as ever). Still, I'm not complaining. Kid will be kids and I will always be grateful for my precious baby girl...faults and all. Muacks! I love you Nur Ayra!

Running Amok at Toys R Us...

An took half the day off today. Fuddin's favorite toy broke last night (it had been abused beyond repair...may it RIP) so we decided to bring the kids to Toys R Us to get new ones.

Looking at the pics, you're right if you're guessing they had a good time. Fuddin was especially hyper and was running amok! In the end, we didn't get to buy anything there. Haha. That's so typical of us. We then dragged Fuddin to Kiddy Palace where we finally managed to buy a decent toy for each of them.

Then off to where else but MacDonalds where Fuddin was reunited with his beloved fries. Ayra was feeling adventurous and keeping herself occupied by asking for another cup of plain water, going to the wash basin to wash her hands... she was doing anything and everything but eat. Yet again...how typical.

Then off to Wak Ruby's house. Izal and his wife had driven down from Malacca so we decided to visit them. They were watching some scary horror movie and Ayra's petrified of those (she gets nightmares) so we didn't stay too long.

So my weekend is over. Another 2 weeks to go before the one week break. I've got soooo much marking to do. I will get it done before the break. Well, I don't have a choice. Ok will try to update soon.

The "Sick" Family

So I was sick. So I almost died of the pain (it felt like the contractions I had when I was about to give birth!) and thought I would never be myself again. Then I got better and I'm back to work (now is that a blessing or a curse?). I even came back a day earlier. I had Tuesday off as well but being the dedicated form teacher I am, I came because 5Ruby had to go to the Handicapped Association for their CIP programme.

Well, I'm glad I came. My dear class would have been so lost without me. They are such a happy, cheerful bunch. I'm quite amazed actually. We even sang a song for the people there, gave them personalized cards and fed them cookies. The girls took some photos. Will try and upload them later ya?

Well, today's a good day. I'm discounted 2 periods so that means I only have 2 teaching periods but I have ELDS later till 6 so that's a bummer. I would actually like to get home earlier coz my parents are really unwell; Ayra has a fever and Fuddin has a really bad cough. An is on 2 days mc as well. In short, we're all SICK!

For now, I'll survive.
