GOLD COAST MORIB FOR DADDY'S BIRTHDAY

This was the farm I saw on my way to Morib

On Sunday, me and my family went to the hotel called GOLD COAST MORIB. It was located in Selangor. Daddy drove us there . I slept in the car. The journey took an hour. After 30 minutes, I woke up and saw a lots of coconut tree, the palm tree and a lot of cows outside the window. It was like a farm. The palm tree and coconut tree were different. The fruits were also different. We passed through the village to get to the hotel. I think there were less traffics in the village compared of the town.

We arrived at the hotel. I saw mak long and Marcel! I was soo surprised! I didn't know that daddy invited them! There were lots of people in the lobby. We waited for mama to get the key for our room. Then, we arrived at our room. Our room was big but dirty. The housekeeper had not clean our room yet. I didn't like it! There was a bathtub and the jacuzzi in the bathroom. But there was something I like. I like the jacuzzi so much. By the way, mak long and Marcel were in a different room. Right after that, we straight away changed to our swimming attire and went to the water theme park.

The moment we wanted to go to the water theme park, we bumped into nenek and atuk. I also did not know that daddy invited them, too. Another surprise!! After we shook hands with them, we went to the theme park!

The long, curvy slide that I rode on

At the theme park, there were lots of types of slides. There was a long slide, tall slide, sloppy slide and many more. I rode on the long, sloppy slide. WHEEEEEE! After that, I went to the bouncy house with my sisters. We jumped on top of it. Sooo bouncy! BOINK! BOINK! BOINK! The bounce house was slippery and dirty. That was why I always fall down. Marcel also bounced with us. Then, we went to the deep pool with our parents. Me and Ariana rode on the round big floties while Marcel pushed us. Woah! That was fast. While we were swimming, Mak Lang, Pak Lang, Mak anjang, Pak anjang, Adelia and Atiff joined us too. Everybody was swimming happily.

Later on, we went to the seafood restaurant near Tanjung Sepat. We went there to have a dinner party for daddy's birthday. Before that, we went to the jetty.  We saw a lot of boats but they are small and dirty. The boat was docked to the jetty. After that, we wittnessed the beautiful sunset there. I really enjoyed looking at the sunset.

At the restaurant,  we  waited for our foods. There were a lot of people eating. People were eating because it was dinner time. After 15 minutes,  our food was served. We enjoyed our meal. Mmmmm! Delicious! After we finished our meal, it wasvtime for the celebration. We gonna sang the Happy Birthday song for daddy. I was surprised there were THREE cakes for daddy. He was very lucky because 3 persons bought the cakes. It was a chocolate cake and strawberry cake too. I don't really like the chocolate cake because there were nuts in it. That was weird.

The next morning, we had our breakfast at the hotel. There were lots of people there. So the place was crowded and we ended up waited for the seats for so long. I was a bit bored. Finally, we managed to find the seats and had our breakfast. After we ate our breakfast, we went to the water park! AGAIN!

This time we swam at the pool, but not that long because we must rush because we must checked out. We swam just like an hour. For lunch, we had our meals at Bangi. We ate at a restaurant called 'Restaurant Ayam Kampung'. The chicken was a bit skinny but tender. But it was still yummy! Mmmmmm! No more hungry!!!

It,s time to go home. I was soo happy! This was the great vacation because i got to go with my big family. I hope I get to go with them  again! Byeeee!❤💚💜💙💛

My roadtrip to the North - PERAK

Perak Darul Ridzuan.

Perak welcomed me and my family with good foods. We started our journey by going to a stall which was located in Kuala Sepetang. It was called Mee Udang Mak Jah. The stall was famous with prawn. We ordered our food. I ordered 'char kwey teaw udang'. It was soo yummy! The food really awed me.

Kuala Sepetang is famous with seafood because it is located near the river. So the fishermen can fish easily. The boat must be docked to the jetty so the fisherman can give the fish to the fishmonger. Then, the fishmonger can sell the fish at the market. I think the jetty is big because there are a lot of boats.

After that, we went to the night safari at the Zoo Taiping. We rode on a tramp and saw lots of

animals. The announcer told us the information about the animals. The hippopotumas is the silent killer. The African people are scare of this animal because it has sharp teeth. He also told us that flamingoes rest and sleep with just one leg. African lion can't swim. We learnt a lot of things. I loved this zoo very much! I hope I can go there again.

We saw the animals at Zoo Taiping. They were zebras and giraffe in the picture.

Later, daddy drove us to Ipoh after the journey to the night safari. We put a night in the Kinta Riverfront Hotel. We went to our room. We peeped through the curtains and saw the colourful decoration trees and beautiful firework along the river outside. I think the firework was for the Thaipusam celebration. Then, we slept because we were all tired.

The next morning, me, mama, Ariana and Arlia had our breakfast at the cafe. I had nasi lemak. It was delicious. While we were eating, daddy joined us! After breakfast, we went out from the hotel and headed to a restaurant. It was called NASI KANDAR AYAM MERAH. My parents really wanted to eat again. It was strange for me. I saw there were lots of people queing and eating there. I think because the foods were yummy. After my parents had eaten, we went to a hotel at THE LOST WORLD OF TAMBUN.

At the first place, I didn't know about this place. Then, when my parents told me about this, I was overwelmed because there was a water park! What a fun surprised!!!! We went to the theme park! Thre were two types of parks. One was a dry park and another one was a water park! We went to the dry park. First, we went to the MERRY HANGING GO ROUND! It was awesome but dizzy. Then, we went to the small boat ride. It was the same thing but it was faster than the merry hanging go round. Later on, we tried on the BIG GIANT SHIP! It swinged to the right and left end! Woah! But pity Aya! She can't ride on it because of her safety. She still young. Then, we went to the WATER PARK! Me and Ariana slid at the loong, curvy slides! Woooaahhh! I was soo extremely happy! I wanted to try it again! It was fuuuuunnn! We also went to the very looonnnnnggggggg man-made river. We rode on a big numbered '8' floties in blue. It tooks a while to reach the end of the river.

Later on, we went to the HOT SPRING! It is naturally hot! We relaxed there. Cool! Ariana and Arlia played with the water and made a big splash! We relaxed there until 5.30 pm. Then, we went to our hotel and went outside to have our dinner at the restaurant called NASI LEMAK AYAM KAMPUNG. The chicken tasted different than the other chickens. Mmmmmm! So delicious. After eating, we went to the hotel and slept. What a tiring day... Zzzzzzz

The next day, we took our bath and straight away checked out from the hotel. We had breakfast at Hollywood Restaurant. It was another food place that we explored. The foods that we tried were roti telur goyang, keaw teaw, roti bakar and goreng-gorengan. I never knew about this kind of food especially roti telur goyang and goreng-gorengan. I think this is a special food in Ipoh.

Finally, it was time to go back home. Do you know why? Because our vacation was already over! I missed Perak! Byeee Perak!

The roadtrip up North - PENANG

Last Thursday, my family went for a roadtrip. First, we went to Penang and then to Perak.

We departed from home at about 10.30 am. We were heading to Penang. Daddy drove us there by car. From Kuala Lumpur,we have to cross Perak to go to Penang. But we also needed to cross the bridge. We needed the bridge because Penang is an island. We were actually crossing the sea and if we want to go to Penang by sea, we need a ferry. There were also big ferries that carries cars.

After 3 hours, we reached Penang! We were heading to Hard Rock Hotel which was located at Batu Ferringhi. Before that, we stopped at a stall that served a speacial dish which was Laksa Penang. I ordered Laksa Penang and Teh Ais. After we finished our food, we went to Hard Rock Hotel.

The hotel was not far from the stall. It tooks us only minutes to reach the hotel. At the hotel, we first checked-in. Before we went to our room, the waitress served the welcome drinks to us. And then, we went to our room in level 3. The room was facing the swimming pool and the beach. The scenery was beautiful. However, the room was smaller than the room we went last time. That room had a small playground and trundle bed for the kids. While this one not. But we were still happy, thankful and grateful. We can't wait for the swimming pooooolllllllll!!!

We went to the swimming pool and swam! We swam and slided down the pool and played with the water. It was very fun! We love swimming at the swimming pool because of the slide. I was happily swimming at the swimming pool with my sisters and my parents. We only stopped swimming during Maghrib.

For dinner, we hunt for Nasi Kandar Beratur. Daddy drove us to a stall which opened at 10.00pm. We were late for dinner! The nasi kandar was yummy! I never ate nasi kandar! It was famous in Penang! While we were eating, mama saw a trishaw. The trishaw was special because it has lights at night. We wanted to ride on it. But unfortunately, we didn't manage because we were sleepy. After we ate Nasi Kandar, we straight away went to the hotel and slept.

The next morning, we took our breakfast and straight away went to the swimming pool. AGAIN! We swam untiiiil noon. We had fun swimming and playing. We stopped swimming at 2.30 pm. We went to level 6 for our tea. They served dessert. After eating, we went to Lone Pine. It only took minutes to reach there.

Lone Pine is a boutique hotel. At first, we didn't really like the hotel. But after sometimes in the hotel, we loved the hotel more than Hard Rock Hotel. The room was big. We were enjoying the hotel. We went to the park near the beach. We took a stroll at the garden, relaxed at the hammock and played! Then, we went to the beach and played with the water and sand. Finally, we went to our room and had a bubbly bubble bath. Cool! Then, we took our dinner in our room and played some more! After that, we went to sleep! Sleep on a cozy bed. Zzzzzzzzz

The next morning, while everyone was sleeping, me and mama took a stroll at the beach. Mama took a picture of me while I was playing with the water and sand. It was sooo fun. I enjoyed spending time with mama! My heart was calm whenever I spent time with ONLY her! This was because when others were around, they sometimes made my mood uncontrollable.

Then, I went to the tent near the swimming pool to relax while playing with the Ipad. Mama went to the room to wake Ariana and Arlia up because they were still sleeping.

Finally, Ariana, mama and Arlia had arrived! We went for our breakfast! I ordered char kwey teow! Yum! Later on, daddy came and joined us! He ate omelet. After breakfast, we all swam. We swam untiiil noon. Then,we changed our clothes in the tent and checked out from the hotel!

Penang vacation was very fun. I really really didn't want to leave Penang. However, we had to because we were going to Perak. I hope Perak going to be exciting as much as Penang.

Byeeeee Penang!!!!!

Nasi Kandar Beratur, PENANG!!

Yesterday, me and family went to Penang for our road trip. I always love Penang. I love Penang because there are a lot of soo delicious food such as pasembur and char kwey teow. The famous one is... NASI KANDAR! It was my 1st experience eating it. Yum!

The stall's name was NASI KANDAR BERATUR! There were lots and lots of people queing at the stall! I wondered why people were queing for it. Then only I knew all of them were queing because the food is soooo delicious. And it is famous in Penang. No wonder it was called nasi kandar beratur.

Luckily, daddy came early so he had the chance to queue in front. He was 4th in the line. We managed to get our food early. But actually we were late for dinner because the stall was OPENED only at 10 pm!

The food had finally arrived at our table! Yummy! The food were rice, meat, kuah and chicken. The chicken and meat were soooooooo tender! Daddy ate nasi kandar with lots and lots of kuah while I ate the rice, meat and chicken only. So yummy! Before this, I didn't know that nasi kandar is famous in Penang.

After we ate, we went back to our hotel. I had a great day and learned new things.

Mama's birthday!

On Sunday, me and my family went to Restoran Subak for our lunch. We went there to celebrate mama's birthday! Before everyone came, we took some pictures. We waited until everyone came, then we had our feast!

We ordered our food. I ordered cabonara. After we ordered, we waited for our foods to be served. It was sooo delicious! When everyone were eating, me, Marcel and my sisters heard Marcel's funny jokes. After that, the surprise begun!

SURPRISE!!! There was a cake in front of mama! We sang the birthday song! After singing the birthday song, mama cut the cake and we ate the cake! MMMMM..... So delicious! It is sooo creamy. It is a cheesecake! That was the end of the day!

There was another celebration on Monday. Daddy took us to Pavillion because mama's birthday falls on Tuesday, 22nd January. We ate at a restaurant. I ordered burger but it was too big so I shared it with Ariana. It was delicious. Then, SURPRISE! The cake had arrived ! We sang 'happy birthday' to mama! The cake was WOW!That was the end of the day.

Today, mama came home with joy because mama received hundred stalks of red cherry roses! Daddy gave to mama! This shows that daddy loves mama sooo much! Sooo romantic!

These days are full with happines all along! Happy birthday mama! May ALLAH bless you!

My Cross Country experience

This was my first time ever participating the Cross Country at Pemaisuri Lake Garden,Cheras at Site 'A'. Let the adventure begun!

First, I registered at the registration counter. The teacher who registered me was Teacher Afni, who taught me Maths last year. After I told her my full name and class, she gave me two pieces of papers. The papers were written with the same number which was '4001'. I think it stands for primary 4 first registration. This is because I came early. After I registered at the counter, I waited for the teacher to brief about the Cross Country and the launching. Oh, I forgot! By the way, the teacher's name is Teacher Surraya.

After she gave the speech, the teachers briefed us about the checkpoints and how many rubber bands we have to collect. After that, all of the students had their breakfast, did the warm up session and read the dua recitation. Then READY, SET, GO!

The Cross Country had begun! I was nervous when my shoes came off, at the moment the run had just started. I' m afraid I am going to lose. Every one was pushing ME! EVERYTIME when I am running, my shoes always came off. Whenever I'm running. Then I put on my shoes immediately. Luckily, mama helped me to put on my shoes again and I continued running.

On the slidy and sloppy parts, I managed to beat some primary students. Then, I saw mama! I was shocked! I taught she was sitting under the shelter. But luckily she ran with me.

After a while, I was soooo tired so I walked. That moment, mama was running behind me, cheering for me. My courage was as high as the mountain that time. When I ran for a little while, I saw my teacher so I ran to her and took the rubber band. That time I was at checkpoint number two. So I ran and ran and ran until I felt that I was discourged without mama. I almost cried when mama came. She patted me and we ran together. What a great time we spent together. That time I had collected four rubber bands. Two more left. So I ran and ran and ran and ran until the finish line! I got the 26th place!

Before the prize giving ceremony, I drank the Vico drink from the yellow Vico van. The healthy chocolate drink. Then, the ceromony began! The 4km champion went to an African girl who ran about nine minutes and four seconds. Congratulations!

It was a great day today! I felt like an outdoor girl! I thanked mama and all the teachers for supporting me. All the best for next year!

My brilliant experience of the puppet stage

Last week, we did the Puppet Stage. It was an amazing idea from Ariana. So let us get started!

We needed a box, tape, pencil, scissors, paint brush, paints, palette and crayons. First, we took the box and drew a rectagle shape. Then, we cut the rectangle shape to make a hole. And then time to PAINT! We even decorated it! We did the banners, grass and lots more! After that, we did the curtains!

Easy peasy to do the curtains! First, I folded the edge of the fabric. Then I stitched through the folded fabric until the end with the needle and thread. I took a pin and a ribbon and tied them together. After I tied them, I slided through the pin into the fabric through the hole.Then, I PULLED THROUGH the pin at the end of the fabic. And the curtain is done! Then we hanged the curtain using the stapler at the puppet stage.

I ❤ed the decorating part! It was a really good way of helping us to be creative. And I loved Ariana's idea. It was the fun activity.

Me and my sisters painted the stage.

My happy face and my painted hands
