Friso Brings My Family Out

Malaysian school holiday has just started and no school until next year! Argh! Being cooped up in the house with a rambunctious, talkative and inquisitive 6 year old boy can be a challenge. Raimie is our only son, so it is inevitable that we have to be his playmates at home. (Man, he is one bossy kid when it comes to playing with us. I wonder whose traits he got that from?)

What to do, what to do during the school holiday? Especially now we have to tighten our belt a bit and save money (have to set aside some $$$ for Raimie's birthday on Dec 2 too! Cakes doesn't come cheap nowadays, and the thought of baking him one scares me. The kitchen might explode! Muahaha)

Photo: that's Raimie on his 5th birthday. My, almost a year gone by already... We never missed each other's birthday. Don't need to be a big celebration, a peck on the cheek and a wish of a "Happy Birthday" from our loved ones are enough.

OK, back to activities for the school holiday - luckily there's Friso Family Day Out on Nov 29. Nothing brings out the "kiasu"ness in me than freebies and this event is open to the first 120 bloggers who writes in. Cool! Sure hope we can be in that 120 spot.

I'll be looking forward to the event as there will be talks on nutrition and parenting experiences, magic show and lots of prizes to be won not to mention a chance to meet fellow bloggers and budding bloggers (that's your kids, parents)!

I know Raimie loves playing and tumbling around the kids' gym and meeting new friends. Got free samples of Friso milk or not? :D After all that running, jumping and screaming, the children will need something healthy and nutritious to drink and what better than milk? Yummy!

We always do something together on the weekends - be it assembling paper models (that we have plenty of stocks), playing jigsaw puzzle together or playing video games or just simply spending it at nearby parks. Family Day doesn't need to spent out and about - what is important is the time we spend together not how much money we spend on him. Right? What is important is the bond you have being a family and communicating with each other. It is especially important to make a point to spend time as both Zaini and I work and don't have much time to spend with Raimie on weekdays. (The bane of modern life, I guess)

Photo : Spending time at parks in Putrajaya - this is almost a weekly event for us, if the sun favoured upon us otherwise it's the shopping complexes tour instead!

Photo: Dinner with the rest of the clan eating Ikan Bakar. It is important to spend time with Raimie's aunts and uncles too.

Of course, taking a vacation together and going to Disneyland won't hurt either. Wink wink. Hint hint. *^-^*

Give us a chance to hug Mickey Mouse at Disneyland!
p.s. That's us with Mickey & Gang at One U in 2006.

(Sure nice if we can win a 3 Days 2 Nights trip to Disneyland Hong Kong for 2 Adults and 2 Children from Friso, eh?)

Wanna join too? Shimmy over to Nuffnang website for more info. Hurry! (Or better, don't hurry and give me chance to win that Disneyland trip. Hehehe)

  6. @life ramblings,
    true but I think our generation enjoyed school holiday more compared to kids now - heck! there are way too many holiday classes and tuition advertised.
