Out in the real world

I learnt about primary colours and mixing them in giant test tubes to get secondary colours. Do you know what the primary colours are? They are red, blue and yellow. These colours can't be created by mixing any colours together. But you can mix these colours to form secondary colours. For example, you can mix blue + yellow to get green and red + blue to get purple. And then there are tertiary colours like when you mix a primary colour with a secondary colour.

Confused much? :p

Besides learning about alphabets and numbers at home, I also help my Ibu a lot with the housework. Sometimes I help Ibu with some baking, sweep the floor or hang the clothes. One of the biggest challenge to Ibu is to homeschool me and keep the house clean to a certain standard. At times I make the mess and will leave it to do something else. This makes Ibu very angry and I will clean up after she nag. :p

Made these ants with pegs, pompoms and pipecleaners with Ibu. These were used in our story of prophet Sulaiman alaihissalam who can understand languages when others cannot. I must ask Allah to grant me this ability so that I can tell the ants not to crowd the dining table so much! I can feed them if they ask nicely. :)

We borrowed "Banana!" by Ed Vere and I thought it's a fantastic book. First of all, it teaches the basics of manners. The red-shirt monkey wanted a banana but the blue-shirt monkey refused to give it to him till he said "Please?". There is mainly just one word in the book (Banana) so any kid of my age can probably recognise the word after a few reads. hehe. "Bananas?"

It's amazing what one can do with limited resources. Ibu gave each of us a black paper, some white paint and a few cotton buds. Adek drew a creature which looked like an octopus while I drew a house with some clouds and a tree. You don't have to be an artist to draw like one!

I am playing our own game called "Guess the moshling!". A great game to play with our huge moshling collection. I am blindfolded first and then had to guess the moshling in my hand based on their textures and shapes. Some are pretty hard while others are quite easy to guess. One must know their moshling for sure!

This is our first storytelling session on board of the SMRT Train. Participants listened to a few stories while the train move from Ang Mo Kio-Woodlands and back again. Ibu managed to get slots for us on the last weekday of the September holiday.


We arrived early for the registration but it was already quite crowded. The queues were moving pretty fast but it was a rather long wait to board the train. Adek and I were put in the 6-9 years old group even though adek is supposed to be in the younger age group. We were advised to sit together so that we won't get lost after the storytelling session.


We finally boarded the train half and hour later and met our storyteller, Mdm Juriah. She started the session with Fox's sack when the train started moving. It's about a cunning fox who hid a bumble bee in his sack. When a woman lets out the bumblebee that he had put in his sack, the fox replaced it with a rooster, a pig, and finally a little boy. A very lively story which made us laugh. The next 2 stories were pretty boring. Adek was a bit bored already and she started to do her 'monkey' act. hehe. The event was ended with a share-a-riddle session and everyone was given a colouring worksheet. Hope to join another session again next year!

We visited Ibu's friends during Hari Raya just now. Her house was HUYUUUUUGE with many storeys. I had a fun time going up and down the staircase while Ibu and her friends chatted in the kitchen. There was even an entertainment room where anyone can play any (playstation and nintendo) games they'd like. wow! We also had a blast eating the generous spread of goodies (which Ayah will disapprove! hehe). We went to Nenek Ros' place after that but not before getting ourselves sweaty at the playground. Yes, even in our baju kurongs!

I have a favourite baju kurong thanks to my nenek Ros. It's blue with polkadots. I looooove this sooooo much that I will wear it everyday if I have a choice. I got my chance yesterday. Since kakak had to wear baju kurong for her Hari Raya celebration at school, I also wear mine before fetching her. I even got a matching tudong for it. Ibu got it from Ulfah Hijab on facebook. They have a trademark hellokitty-like bow on each of the hijab they designed. Aren't they cute??
