Kids and playground

Kids and playground ...what can I say ...they just get along LOL ....when we were in KK, our apartment was on the same level as the playground ....and nobody seems to be there ...so, we sort of conquered the place during our stay there ....we came early in the morning, when the boys were still in their pyjamas ...hahahah ...it was fun! and the boys loved it!

a happy boy trying the slide

adik was hesitant at first ..and after watching Al having a grand time ..he was game to try ...

his first try ...still scared by the looks of it ...but he got the hang of it ...and refused to go back to the apartment

the swing was not that interesting to them ...they sort of just glanced at it and tried it once ...and went back to the swing LOL ...I was MORE interested to use the swing hahahahahaha

but one thing to remember when going to the playground is to make sure that it is safe ...children wont care as long as they are having fun, but as adult we have to take care of that part for them ....check the equipment for faulty and hazardous parts ....and my dad keeps on stressing that I must be there to supervise the kids ...kids should not be left alone at the playground (it's common sense really) ...so, play at will as playground is entertaining for kids ...but be safe!

family - you can't live without them :-)

our most recent a family photo ...i love this one! everyone looks relaxed ....we have our ups and downs but generally we get along ...like the saying say, "we can choose our friends, but we cannot choose our family" ...my dad always advise us to make the most of our time together ..and that, whatever happen in the future, we are to remember that we can (and should) cunt on one another ...coz we are family ...

LOVE MY FAMILY ...warts and all ...

Al's present

Haslina gave Al a set of wooden building items including screw driver, screws, tyres and so on for his birthday....Al was so excited to receive the present and then very engrossed to learn how to use the tools ...

he was impatient to open the present but I made him wait as I want to take a photo to send to Haslina ....

  the content

the items are safe in the sense that there wee no sharp edges ...and it is great as it stimulate the child's creativity as well as enhancing their motor skills ....at first, my dad and my brother only taught Al how to fasten and unfasten the blocks using screws and screw driver ...basically just teaching him how it works without going into details about designing shapes like car, helicopter, ship etc ....

nowadays (approximately 3 weeks after he got the present) Al is able to build something on his own ...he would proudly show his creation to us ....yesterday he made a baggage tractor like the one used at the airport ...he got the inspiration while plane watching at the airport recently!

showing off a helicopter ...made by Daddy ...

Thank you moi for the wonderful present ....from all of us!

Al's fourth birthday

Just got back from a holiday in Sabah ....a family holiday as all of us managed to be in one location at the same time ....and as promised we celebrated Al's 4th birthday in a simple do ....

LOL ...i just saw his feet in this pic! 

we went to Ranau to get a cake but by the time we got there (5-ish) the shop did not have much choices left ...there were no small cakes or cake slices left ...and the shop was about to close down for the day hahahaha ...i was thinking of getting cheesecakes but there were none ...NADA ...so, my brother suggested that we get 4 muffins instead ..and the candles, of course ....

we decided to sit at the balcony after dinner ..and had the candle blowing session then ...Al was very excited ..in fact, he wasked us to re-lit the candles 3 times before he was satisfied ..and that means singing "Happy birthday" three times as well ...

this was the 3rd round of singing ..and adik and nenek already sat in a far corner, as adik wanted to play Angry Birds on my mobile ...LOL

a happy birthday boy

and the family
