I'm not well today so ummi and abi took me, together with Sofiyya and Umayr to our doctor at Bukit Gombak, have the cold and a slight fever. We had brunch at Alif, my favourite prata shop and then went back without Abi as he had to go to work.

When we got home, ummi gave me my medicine, five in all. Later ummi showed us how we can get different colours from just three basic colours of red, yellow and blue. They are called primary colours.

She put them in these transparent plastic cups so we could see how the colours change. After that, ummi let us, including Sofiyya, paint with the different colours that we made. We even had a spray to paint with. Sofiyya truly enjoyed herself as this is her first painting session.

Ummi then let us play in the pool. We played 'rain' with the colander and our elephant water container. She also gave us funnels to pour water into our water wheel. After all that action, we had TV time, we watched Sesame Street and The Backyardigans. Then, its off to bed....zzzzzz....so tired.

a walk in the park





Yesterday we had a nice walk in Choa Chu Kang Park with Ummi and Sofiyya. At first we wanted to play at the sandpit playground but we decided to join Sofiyya at the toddler's playground instead.

After a while, Ummi called us to take a walk to look at the different plants that can be found there. She let us take photos of the Cempaka Hutan, lime, curry and lemongrass plants. Unfortunately, we were unable to take any home as souveniors, maybe next time we can plant some at home. After learning about the plants, we sat down for a drink and Ummi asked us to look at the different shapes of the plants around us. Some were triangular, some round and some looked like fans.


We then took a slow walk to Lot 1, stopping to look at the mimosas in the open field for a while before having our lunch there.We really enjoyed ourselves that by the time we got home we were too tired for anything else, much to Ummi's relief.
