stropal and munira"s birthday

last week,muhd's class made cocktails(out of fruits,of course!)he chose strawberries and apples hence the name stropal.his friends used mangoes,bananas,grapes etc...when asked how it tasted like,he just said "all the smoothies taste terrible",haha...apparently they didnt use any sugar to make it healthy.strawberries here arent sweet at all unlike the ones(some,anyway) in other countries.
its munira's bday today.i just made a banana cake since she requested it.she's feeling rather sad as there is nothing special going on today.her friend burcu was supposed to come today but she didnt.maybe we will take her somewhere later.

cartoon strip

there was a cartoon strip competition last two weeks.muhd wanted to enter it but had somehow forgotten to work on it until the last minute.he pestered me to help so i searched for a pencil(sharpened,of course!) and a paper.then he asked "what should i draw?" and i said "up to you.think of a short story and work on it"

half an hour later he asked me again and since i had a lot of house chores to be taken care of,i asked him to ask his dad.hubby helped him and the story was about a chicken and a tiger.muhd wanted to dra a real tiger but his dad said "we dont have time since the closing date is tomorrow.why dont u just draw a stick tiger?" my son was not happy but he reluctantly followed the advice.he coloured the strip and handed it in the next day.

a few days later he came home with a prize-stabilo highlighters."look ma,i won!!' apparently he was the winner for his class and very proud of it.but hubby who helped,was the proudest of all!hehehe....
its a pity i didnt snap a photo of the cartoon strip....

my second daughter's bm is going downhill eversince she is in the international school.yesterday she asked me "ma,what did u cook?"."kari ayam,i replied."what are we eating it with?" "nasiklah!"then she asked again,"what about the lemak?" "HA??" "u know,lemak?"HA??" "u know,fish,chicken" oooo.....lauk......haha......

hari raya puasa 2010

for the fifth time,we celebrated raya abroad minus families and relatives.twice in oman,once in holland and twice in qatar.pity the kids actually as they miss the true meaning of raya.i enjoyed my raya very much when i was a child but to my kids it is just another day...:(

we went twice to sea world.the kids wanted to look at the sharks again and also bcos we forgot to bring our camera the first time around.haha!

vacation in gold coast australia

we went to goldcoast australia during the summer (july 2010). my father followed us which was quite surprising. we were there for 9 days, 8nights.too long,if u ask me.

anyway,we went to the movie world,sea world and wet n wild.we've been here before in 2002 but since muhd wasnt born yet at that time,he requested we go again.above are some pictures....
