Goodbye 2010

*Picture googled

Today is the last day of 2010 and i couldn't just let it go by not saying goodbye here. So much has happened this year. A lot of tears has been shed but there were also a lot of laughter. 2009 was a difficult year for us but 2010 tested us even more. Now that 2011 is coming, i really don't have any high hopes for it. We'll take it as it comes, try to be positive and continue praying that our lives will be back to normal.

Here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year 2011. May it be a prosperous, healthy and blessed year for all of us.

A trip to the National Science Center

My sister was on her year end holiday and so was my mum. So they decided to take Luq & Leia out and asked whether i had any place in particular to bring them. I instantly remembered my friend Muna who took her sons to the National Science Center a few weeks back and thought that it would be interesting to bring Luq & Leia there since the Dinos Alive exhibition was still on.

We reached the NSC around 1.30pm and the weather was perfect. Cloudy with a little chance of rain. Teehee. After buying the tickets (RM10 for adults and RM5 for children 4yo n above), we made our way into the center. I remember going to the NSC but it was a long time ago during school days so it was like the first time for me too.

As soon as we passed the walkway and entered the center, we saw 2 gigantic dinosaurs. A brachiosaurus and a tyrannosaurus rex or also known as the t-rex. Luq and Leia were scared of the dinos (most kids were), especially the t-rex bcoz it was moving and roaring. We walked past the 2 dinos and went upstairs to the exhibition halls.

While walking towards the exhibition halls, we passed by a few experiments stations and tried out each one. It was interesting but there was not enough time to complete each experiment bcoz Luq and Leia were easily bored. Who can blame them since they're only 4 and 2 years old. There were also photo tricks. Can you spot them in the photos below?




There were 2 dino exhibition halls (carnivores and herbivores) with smaller dinos. The halls were dark and the dinos were also roaring, which made Luq and Leia more scared. Luq was sitting in the stroller and refused to take photos and Leia was holding on to me like a koala bear to a bamboo tree. Somehow it did feel like we were in Jurassic Park. Hehe.



Once we were done with the dinos, we went down where there were more experiments stations. Luq and Leia were running here and there eventhough they were still coughing. I had to monitor their body temperatures closely too bcoz they just recovered from high fever.

As soon as we were done with the NSC, we went to IKEA to have our late lunch and went home after that.


Luq and Leia really enjoyed themselves and couldn't stop talking about their trip as soon as Mr A came home. 1 day we will go there again with Mr A. InsyaAllah.
*All photos were taken with my BlackBerry bcoz i forgot to bring my camera. Not bad eh? *wink*

Addicted to Foursquare


Yes i am! I started using foursquare on 12th June 2010. That was when i first unlocked the Newbie badge. At first it was fun to check in to different places bcoz my friends in fb and twitter would know my where abouts since i set it to post my locations to fb and twitter. Then it became more fun after i found out there are a lot of badges to unlock and i became obsessed with unlocking the cute little badges. The new fb for blackberry also has the function where you can check in to places yo go but it's no fun bcoz it doesn't unlock badges like foursquare.
My sister was quite worried with me using foursquare at first bcoz she said one of her colleague's friend's house was broken into all bcoz of foursquare. Well, sorry to say but some people are really stupid to check in to their homes on foursquare, revealing their full address. And some people don't know that they can still check in without posting the location to fb or twitter. Now that my sister also has a blackberry, she's hooked on foursquare too. Haha
I've just learned a few tricks on how to unlock foursquare badges (no i'm not going to share it). Hehehe. So nowadays i mostly check in to places which i know i can unlock new badges and i only post my locations to twitter instead of fb. I now have 36 badges and still counting. Some may say it's a waste of time but for me, it's a hobby that doesn't cost a single cent.

My terrible TWO

Nothing much to write about my little princess except that she always drives me up the wall with her antics and screaming but i still love her to bits.


And now she's not shy to pose in front of the camera (if she's in the mood).

But if she's not in the mood, her picture will be as below. Hehehe.

It's been ONE year


*Picture googled

.. since I started dis blog and i think i have matured in the sense of writing over this 1 year. When i first started blogging, most of my entries contained a lot of emotions and i was pouring out almost everything out in the open but i slowly learned to control what to write. Another month to go before we welcome 2011 and i hope this last month of 2010 will treat me a bit better. I've only changed my blog layout twice since i started blogging. Maybe it's time for a blog make over so that i would blog more. Alasan! Haha
