Mid-Term school holiday (Week 2)

14-16 June (Monday-Wed) I signed up for them to join science camp for 3 days at RM120/each. On the first day, they learned about Inertia and how to make chalk. They played hopscotch using the chalk they made. Jo1's named her group 6 Einstein and Jo2 group is Happy Scientist.

On Tuesday, they decorate their project folder and make origami. At 5PM, I went to fetch them. In the car, I told them that I got a good news and bad news for them. The bad news is - I am taking them to Dr.Sim's clinic which is few blocks away from their school. Their annual influenza jab is due, and this time they are taking influenza + H1N1 (2 in 1). Jo1 weight at 29kg and Jo2 is 20.3kg. Both of them asked Dr for a smaller needle so that not so painful, but so shame that Jo1 cried. Dr recalled that when she was a baby, she never cried at all.

And the good news is - mummy will bring them to cinema to watch The Karate Kid tonite. Surprisingly no queue at the ticketing counter, we managed to grab a good seat for a good show. The movie lasts for 2 hrs 15min and we reached home at 11PM.


On Wednesday, the last day of their camp they learned how to make ice-cream in 10min. Both came home happily with their stuff done at the camp in a orange color bag.

What a fruitful holiday they had...

Mid-Term school holiday (Week 1)

Jo1 has 2 weeks of school holiday right after 1st semester 2nd evaluation. This round, I planned ahead instead of letting her sitting at home watching tv whole day. School holidays began on 5 June, and her school celebrated Teacher's Day a day before. All her classmates brought food to school, it was a potluck party. She had fun eating, playing games and some performance for the teachers.

On the 8 June (Tuesday), both of them had excursion to the bird park and KFC at Batu Lanchang for lunch. It was arranged by Jo2's kindergarten, so they have bird show by the trainer. This is their 2nd trip to this place, but surprising they can't recall.

On the 9 June (Wednesday) Jo2 went to school while Jo1 stay at my parents' place. I received a call from PBB (Macalister branch). Initially I thought she wanted to confirm cheque issued, later only found out that Jo1 won consolation prize for a coloring contest that her school teacher send in on behalf. Mummy so happy and proud to hear about it.

On the 11 June (Friday), we took an early flight to Kuala Lumpur. Rent a car with GPS and headed to A Famosa Resort, Melaka. Due to time constrain, we bought ticket for Animal World safari and Carnival at Cowboy town. We paid RM200+ for 2 adults and 2 children, lunch included. The ride by safari truck was so bumpy, but we get very close to all the wild animals. I think they should warn people ahead, it's def not suitable for pregnant women, babies or ppl with heart problem. My kids enjoyed the Wild Wild West show amongst. By 4pm, we were done with safari but carnival only start at 8:30PM. So, we left A Famosa to a nearby town - Tampine hunting for dinner. Back to Cowboy Town around 7:30PM, the Red Indian show and carnival was amazing.

On the 12 June (Sat), we woke up late as everyone was very tired. Bath and had breakfast at the hotel, we arrived at KLCC Aquaria at noon. Bought family package ticket at RM99 (2 adults & 2 children). We spent quality time there for about 4 hours. Shark feeding session was the most excited of all. Next, we went to Mid-Valley Megamall for dinner and shopping. Also, drop by relatives house near Bukit Jalil b4 back to hotel.

On the 13 June (Sun), CH - my youngest BIL join us today as we planned to visit sky bridge Petronas Twin Tower. Unfortunately, all entrance tickets we gave away even though we reached there at 9am (this is my 2nd attempt to go there). We didn't stay at KLCC for long, we went to Pavilion instead. We walked around Pavilion, Starhill galary, Lot 10 and Sungai Wang since all these places are nearby to each other. Had a good rest at Coffee Beans for about an hour b4 we headed to KLIA at 5PM. Luckily Lbh Putrajaya wasn't jam at all and my flight from KL - PEN at 8PM on time. That's the end of my KL trip and home sweet home at 10:30PM.
