Burjuman Center (29th November 2008)
I took the wife and kids to the Burjuman Center....we wanted to get a taste of the noodles at the Noodle House......
Ain and Apit....with a Porsche.....waiting for a cab....
We ordered 2 curry laksas (for Ibu and Along), 1 tomyam (for me), an egg fried rice (for Ain) and a mango pudding with vanilla ice cream (for Apit). For drinks, 2 hot chocolates and a big bottle of water...... The tastes were not bad at all..... but I think my wife's and mother's cooking beats everything and anything.....and of course anyone....even Jamie Oliver and David Rocco...
Along's not feeling well....while Ain and Apit enjoying their readings
After dinner and Maghrib, we went to Macgrudy's... My wife wanted to get a novel......to read during her past-time....the kids also got the books of their choice....They already began to read them while waiting for the cab...

Raffles IS (1st December 2008)
The girls' school Raffles International School held a National Day celebration at the South Campus.....I took a day off today to see Along performs. Ain didn't have any performance to do.....probably because she was ill during a good part of last week.....
Along and her classmates
Along was involved in the Traditional Arabic Dance.....click HERE to see the video.
Ain with one of her friends
Ain got the answer right....
Ain was just happy watching the performances...with her friends....but she got a present answering the question about UAE National flag colors during the interactive-presentation session.
What did Apit do all the while? Well, he wasn't feeling very well lately..... He is the third casualties after Along and Ain.....Ain was the first, followed by Along.....and now Apit...
Despite being sick...he's still as handsome as ever...
Lying on Ayah's lap....look at the dried lips....sian Apit....
But he still didn't want to miss the occasions.....he still wanted to give his morale support to Along and Ain.......
Yes!!!....long holidays....boleh bangun lambat.....yea, yea!!
It's going to be one of their last days in school this year.....their school will be closed until the 13th of December, then re-open for a week before closing back until early next year. School re-opens for the next term on the 4th of January 2009. That explains the smiles (in the above photo).
We had the opportunity to see what did the girls do in class.....some of the activities were exhibited on the walls lining the hall ways.....
Some of Along and Ain's class activities put on the walls....
It's good experience for the kids......and for us the parents too....we saw some samples of Arab cultures.....from the dance until the delicacies.....
We watched some Arab ladies cooking some traditional dishes....one dish looked like tosay, the other looked like our own Malaysian "cekodok".....
A traditional Arab dance by Grades 1~4....(Along in 5th from the right)
Traditional Youla dance by some Arab youngsters from another school
Arabian "Tosay" anyone?
And "Cekodok"... dipped in honey?
Waiting for the ride home.....
As usual....we asked the reception to call a cab for us.....and it arrived in less than 10 minutes.....
We arrived at our place at almost 300pm....everybody was very tired.....I think I slept until about 615pm......
Overall....it was a nice family gathering......
