Mid-term School Break (1st – 15th feb 08)

Kakak had her last exam paper on that Sunday, and Monday was the starting of a 2weeks school break. Umi had come up with some idea on how to occupy the girls time during this 2wks break, a project called ‘Scrapbooking for Ayah’s birthday present’. The girls are soo excited to start with the project and surprisingly, umi feels the same way too! :)


We only went outing on Thursday night of the first week, shopping for groceries at Geant Khurais. It has been quite some time that we haven’t been to Geant, the last trip was like few months back. Had our dinner at food court before heading to the theme park. As kakak just finished her mid-term exam, as a token for her ayah let both kakak and adik chose one ride to enjoy. Just for the record, they do not often get the chance to spend time on themepark as we think its just a waste of money. It wud be much better if the money is spend on books or art&crafts items…at least they can be more creative with it. Still, once a while wud do no harm to let them enjoy the rides..wudnt it? As it turn out, both of them decided to ride the ‘Screw Ride'. Unfortunately, adik was so scared that she cried with her eyes closed all the time!! Even kakak had that frightened look ……exciting feeling gone in a wooosh! J Done with the so called entertainment, we strolled into the Hypermarket to get the groceries. Reached home around 11pm and everybody was so tired that within minutes all ZZzzZz…………..

Since we did not get the chance to shop for art accessories last Thursday night, ayah promised to take us after Friday prayer. Yupp, it sure exciting when ayah gave us the green light to shop for art&craft stuff! We went to Riyalin shoppe (some sort like Kedai RM2) and bought some water colours, colour paper, some glitters, ribbons, wrapping papers and lots and lots of glue!! Since umi insist to check if there is any sale at Jarir Bookstore (the largest bookstores in Riyadh), ayah being as sporting as usual, took us there. Luck was not on our side as we left Jarir 15mins later empty handed. Next stop was to Malaz restaurant, to tapau Umi’s favorite ‘Prawn fried Rice and ayah’s ‘Crab Massala’ for dinner. Poor ayah as it turn out that his fav dish is not available that night, so ayah will just enjoy umi’s chicken sambal (leftover from lunch). Before we drove home and end our outing, our last mission was to collect a new PC for kakak and adik’s room!! Yupp, we decided to gave the girls their own PC as we feel that kakak has started to enjoy having her own things in her room. Hmm…umi’s lil girl had grown up ..sigh! Time just fly when u really enjoying it, isn’t it? As for the rest of their mid-term break, the girls are sure enjoying themselves with the water colour painting and glitters craft.
