Updates on Nuffnang Friso Gold Family Day Out, 2 Jan 2010


Hi folks!

Time really flies....After two busy days sending KY to nursery, finally I am up to it and eager to post up some pictures and write-ups on Nuffnang Friso Gold Family Day Out which we attended on 2 Jan 2010 held at Kizsports & Gym, 1-Utama Old Wing.

Look at the long queue and crowd...we arrived at 10am but there are already a long queue there...good response yeah from all parents!

This year, I am so lucky that Nuffnang had called me to inform that since I am one of the early-bird entry, I am given another family invitation, which means I get to invite another 2 adults and 2 children along and have fun with us! How nice right, but at that point of time, suddenly I am not sure who to invite(at such short notice when everyone could be everywhere else having their holiday break).

First, I contacted my sister(she happened to have arranged for outstation trip that weekend), some blogger friends, alas in the end, I thought hey, why didn't I think of my babysitter!!(As decribed in my previous post entry here)

So, I quickly gave her a ring and asked if she would like to join us for some great fun at the event with her kids and hubby before the school reopen! And YES, why not, she said!!! So here's a picture we took that day! Say Hi to my ever-trusted babysitter and her family!

Thanks to this gentleman(nicknamed shaolintiger), who is the Official Photographer for the event(why I must say official, 'cos with the numerous bloggers bringing along their profesional camera, SLR, you would be confused who is the "official" one...haha...)who helped us to take the group photo!

This year, my baby Shone enjoyed himself a great deal(last year when he attended the event, he was merely 5 months old), this year he went pa-pa 1-2, 1-2, 1-2 [means: climb-climb,1-2, 1-2, 1-2] with me following behind closely or rather chasing behind him...

Shone went through the slides(high and low ones) countless times...phew..thoroughly enjoyed every slides ride...:)


Shone immersed in a pool of colourful balls

Shone enjoyed being a footballer...I simply love this big open space for kids to play balls safely and have fun!

As for KY, I noticed that she enjoyed the magician show as well as the gym class the most!! Compared to last year whereby she practically do her own stuff when the gym teacher was doing the singing and dancing, etc, this year she followed the Hokey-Pokey dance and obstacle course pretty well.

Obstacle Course


Guess this is the difference which comes with age! She also enjoyed the magician show and kept repeating to me some of the things she saw the magician did during the event!


Some kids cried upon looking at the magician in a red robe and played tricks with FIRE!! Haha..kids don't try this at home ok!!!

And KY also tried her first SandArt with the picture of Dora. She was so happy mixing the numerous colors and she even chose the eye color as green and pink, and I just let her be since that's the only time when they are free to choose their imaginative colors and hey we do have green color contact lenses nowadays rite..lol



KY, after got her little pressie after a short dancing stint with this bubbly emcee(who also the emcee last year) ! He really has a way to make the kids dance with the music!

And here is their lunch room for kids.


We met Redmummy at lunch room with Red Daddy and manage to catch a snapshot of this two lovely red couple!

One of the notable sight of an event, nicely-parked strollers of all sorts of brands(you name it!) and neatly-arranged shoes of all sizes!

And from the lunch room window, I managed to snap a picture of my blogger friend, Chinnee, the owner of Mamapatch with her daughter, Qiqi and her twins who is same age as Shone!

You must be wondering why most of my pictures are taken at lunch room? Because when the kids are busy eating, that's the ONLY time I have to take pictures lol!! Other time are spent enjoying all different games, places, talk by Ruth Liew hehe..too engrossed!

One thing I especially took note of when Ruth answered one of the commonly-asked questions from many parents, which is on how to curb or manage kids who picked up foul languages once they started school.

According to Ruth, we have to asked ourselves where does the other kids picked up those foul language from if not from the adults? So the crucial part here is parents gotta be a good role model themselves and not speaking those "languages ourselves! And some things are mere learning phase and the kids will get over it soon.

And this year, I managed to meet some of the mommy bloggers as well as their lovely kids!

The first one I spotted is Izzah, the princess of Kak Ros, from Mombloggersplanet (they won the Most Creative Blog Post and the prize is- 1x 3D 2N Trip for 2 Adults and 2 Children to Hong Kong Disneyland!! Congrats Kak Ros!


I think Izzah is getting tired and bit teary here cos as usual the prize giving ceremony is at the end of the event and obviously all kids are worn out but very happy!

Look at the big crowd filled with family bloggers! Hope to get to know more of you in coming events to come for bloggers like us!

Look at this group photo of the happy winners of 1x 3D 2N Trip for 2 Adults and 2 Children to Hong Kong Disneyland and 10xRM100 Toys "R" Us!!

And lastly, look at this tired but happy Shone, lying on his babysitter's comfy shoulder.



That's all on the updates on Nuffnang Friso Gold Family Day Out, 2 Jan 2010!!

Let's hope there will be Season 3 next year!

Thanks Friso, Nuffnang and many other sponsors and bloggers who made this event a spectacular one!

Cheers!

My Cool Girl KY

Don't KY looked mature in this picture?

She's taking over the driver's seat while her dad went packing dinner.

Now my little KY is going to school today! Had to wake up very early...well at least considered earlier than usual for her as she would normally sleep past 8am, but now she had to wake up earlier to get prepared to start her nursery at 8am!!

Hope she will enjoy herself at the nursery!

Love you, my dear baby girl!


Cheers!

KY going to nursery?!


Yes, I have enrolled KY to a nursery!!!

And these are some items I bought from Tesco Back-to-School promotion. Actually it was an impromptu purchase as it did not crossed into my mind that I should be getting these for her as she'll be starting her nursery soon!! And actually I quite like that lady-like looking white Pallas school shoes, it's very comfy and lady-like unlike those we wore last time, rite mommies :P. And it only cost RM18.90, which I think cheaper than the sport shoes I bought for KY last Chinese New Year??!!

Wow..I feel like I am stepping into another mommy zone....which consist of schooling children, homeworks, exams, etc...wow..wow..cannot imagine that! From baby-hood, toddlerhood and now it's a new adventure for me, catching up with current education and other extra-curricular activities(range from UCMAS, Kumon, etc, etc,...wow...but pray that I don't go into the extreme and neglect the most important fact that KY should have interest in those before committing to send her to one!!!!)

As much as I love to homeschool her but as I am still a FTWM(Full-time Working Mom), I cannot find sufficient time to coach her properly.

So best to enrol her to a nursery and she's been asking me to send her to school ever since last year!! Hopefully her desires to go to school persevere! :)


Cheers everyone!

Happy New Year and have a Great Year!

Nuffnang Friso Gold Family Day Out


(Picture taken from Nuffnang site)



Hi folks,

Just a short entry...that my family is attending Nuffnang Friso Gold Family Day Out at 1-Utama today!

Due to being the early entry, I am given the privilege to invite another family over to join in the fun!

And, I have invited my ever-nice babysitter, her husband and her two kids along to have some fun together!

I always believe that we should appreciate the services of our babysitter who given us a sense of security and comfort that our children is on good hands! And it's not an easy job being a babysitter! Not only it can be tiring but it is a BIG responsibility as well to take care of someone's kids!

So, stay tuned while I post other pictures of the event soon!

Meanwhile, happy weekend everyone and hope to meet some blogger buddies at this event! Don't forget to say hi and hope to snap a picture with you all for remembrance!

Cheers!
