Luqman's Sports Day

Today was Luqman's Sports Day. He has been so excited about it for the past few days and now that its finally here, nak makan b'fast pun susah. The event was held kat Sekolah Sri Cahaya which turned out to be a good choice of venue, enough shade, lots of food and drinks available at the canteen, reasonable toilet facilities(!).

As usual, because I was there, Luqman didn't want to sit with his group and their teachers. Nak mama dia je. So I had to sit with him to try pujuk dia sikit. But it didn't work...

In the end, hubby told me to sit jauh sikit while he settles Luqman. Eventually he did get Luqman to sit with his friends albeit a little reluctant.

Not too happy.....

Sure enough, as soon as I was out of sight, Luqman was ok. Haiya, nasib baik tak buat golek-golek macam kat sekolah dulu.

Dah mula senyum-senyum sikit!

By the time it was Luqman's team's turn to go, he was up and raring!!

The theme for the sports day was "Going Green" or sumting like that. So all the games had enviromentally friendly motifs to them. Luqman's game involved "recycling" plastic. The kids had to do some running around sorting out piles of plastic bottles and putting them into baskets. Dapatlah anak montel I tu berpeluh sikit!!

Go Luqman Go!!

Each teammate was given a letter and after finishing the game, they all lined up to spell "USE LESS PLASTIC" ......

As a token, all the kids were given a medal each to take home. There was a small award-giving ceremony and as it was Luqman's first, he was very curious and couldn't stand still.

Whazzat???

All in all, it was a very enjoyable day .... and Luqman went home a very happy boy. We had to go to Giant after that to buy some groceries and Luqman insisted on wearing his medal all throughout the shopping trip.

Sarah's Bday Party

Last Sunday was Sara's bday party. Was supposed to be a small party, I told her to invite just 15 friends. Dont know what was actually lost in the translation but somehow 30 kids turned up that day, felt like I was swarmed by bees! The noise! The kecoh! The mess!



All in all, it was a fun party. Had a few games to keep the kids entertained and even a little craft corner for them to create their own bookmarks as keepsakes (actually that was a tactic to get them to sit down in one place and stop "buzzing" around so much!). Had to top up the food twice to satisfy their appetites but it felt good to watch them enjoy themselves.

The Kids (80% of them)

Hari Raya at Pulau Tinggi

Last aidifitri kitaorg semua komplot with my parents to escape to Pulau Tinggi during the raya week. Boy, did we have a good time! The water was clear, the weather was just perfect....clear water, clear skies, clear minds! The pulau itself was sparsely occupied, there were barely 7 familes located around us. We stayed at a backpacker's longhouse, cleanliness of the place was just average but who cares, we felt real cool "roughing it out" lah konon!

Luqman's Bday Party

After such a loooong absence, I barulah "teringat" nak start updating my blog. Luqman's bday party was held in October last year and I just happened to come across some pics of his cake. He wanted an army-themed party so we actually dressed up if camouflage T-shirts that day. Got the idea for his cake thru the internet......

.....and the cupcakes......
