Kidzania

The much awaited Kidzania will open soon at the Curve, Damansara on 28 Feb 2012. There is on-going promotion at the Curve, with free photo shots for kids. With the photo code, you can download the photo from its website, and entitle to free entrance for one adult and one kid (as claimed by the worker on duty). Anyway, when i entered its website, a slogan is also required. I guess it is like a contest and the free entrance are only for winning participants.

The price for adult is RM35, for kid is RM55. For school promotion, it is RM50 for each kid and for every 10 children, one teacher gets to enter for free. I would like to recommend to Elly and Emmy's kindergarten too.

Happy New Year 2012!

Happy New Year 2012! We had our new year countdown for the first time together, after a few futile attempts in the previous years. The girls were asleep by the time the clock ticked. Cheers to the new year with emm. not wine, not beer but healthy Vico, that my girls loved.

Wish you another great year in 2012, just as our little family aspire to have too. Its all about simple living and spend more time together with family, friends and self.

Halloween Story Telling

Emmy drew this and told a story of scary theme during our evening family activity. It was a scary story of the monster and the baby alien. We all had a great laugh listening to her imagination, with change of voice and actions.

Craft Time @ Home

Lil sister, Emmy was down with fever, diarhoea and vomit. According to doctor, its the season for virus that caused this sickkness.

We spent the weekend at home. Elly and emmy spent some time doing art and craft. The girls drew, cut and paste some angry birds.

Elly made a birthday card for her good friend in her kindergarten, YinTing. She found out about her friend's birthday through the Astro Disney Junior channel. What a coincidence as she was watching some programme when the birthday greetings appeared on screen.

ParentWonder.com

I recently like to read parenting blogs, especially those written by parents themselves. I like to share this blog written by Abel Cheng, a work from home daddy with 2 young kids. Check out his blog at www.parentwonder.com. I find the blog rather entertaining and informative.

There is no magic required in bringing up kids, just lots of patience and love. I like his saying that we are normal human being too, dont put too high expectation on ourselves as parents as we are learning and growing at the same time too. No one is born as a great parent. It requires a lot of hard work, fine-tuning and 'trial and error' as each kid is unique and will require just a little more observation from us.

I have a 4 yo toddler myself. I seem to connect with his post on 'What a 4YO should know'. I am sharing his views too, to me what is more important is not the checklists of what the kid can or cannot do. It is what our parents have 'condition' or set the expectation to the child.

As Emmy will sit for her exams, haha, yes, Malaysian education system is funny. Starting tomorrow, she will start her 2 weeks of exams. I spend some time to do some revision with her, but i do not pressure her with the exams. To me, what is more important is the learning journey and not the results of exams.

Anyway, back to this blog, it also recommend some scenic places around Malaysia for parents to plan for short vacation with children. I will plan for mine too, have heard a lot of Sekinchan, hope to be able to bring my kids there for a day tour.

Thanks, Abel Cheng for all the sharings.
