Arwen's first camp out!

Well, in theory that is. You saw a cartoon where they went on a camp out in their backyard and suddenly you also want a camp out but you said "we don't have a backyard" and then I said "maybe we can go camping at mak long's house". Mak Long was very sporting and was on board at once when I asked her. You told kakak Iman "I can't go camping in my garden. my garden is full of cars!" Hahahaha

Anyway so on 18 Dec 2012, mama took you, ya, redza, nadiah and adam for a camp out at mak long's house. So we played at the backyard with 2 of your tents. I even let you and Ya fall asleep in the tent. Then I carried Ya into the downstairs bedroom and then when I carried you in, you woke up and had a terrible meltdown! A midnight meltdown! You didn't want to sleep in the house! Everybody was so surprised because they have never seen you throw a tantrum. At 7 years old you could not comprehend why I didn't let you sleep outside like in the cartoon. You cried so loudly for so long and eventually I think at about 3am you settled down but still refused to go into the bedroom. We brought your tent into the house too but you didn't want to sleep in it. So in the end both of us slept on the couch. Then slowly Mama slept on the floor while you were on the couch. In the end Mama had the camp out because I slept on the sleeping bag. Arwen Arwen anak mama. Mengamuk pasal tak dapat tidur luar. Bahaya la sayang. Ada nyamuk. Takut pencuri pun ada juga.

Cousins having fun

Arwen didn't want to join in because she was so sleepy.

Finally fell asleep inside the tent outside the house. Pre-melt down.

Post - melt down.

Golf

It has been a long time since you've been to the driving range. There always seems to be other pressing things to do whenever we plan to go to the range. Finally, today we get to go since Tok Bak is in Johor. You cant fit your golf shoes anymore!! But you are stronger now and can actually lift your golf clubs.

Sleepover at our house!

For the first time ever Ya and Redza is sleeping over at our house! Then along came Tuah and Nisha too! Yippee! So it was on a tuesday, tok bak came to our house. Then we went to TTDI because tok bak wanted to visit a shop there. Thereafter, we stopped by at Mak Lin's house and then Tuah and Nisha followe us home in Tok bak's car.

Tok bak had lunch and dinner at our house! This was a big feat for me because I can't really cook for others save for bak and you. So the kiddies slept over for 2 nights and I think you all had fun. This was a big accomplishment for me too because I actually cooked food for the kiddies - bihun goreng! Hahaha

On the second day, we went swimming at the club. Mak Teh came along and brought nadiah and Adam too as she was on leave. Adam wanted to sleep over our house too at the very beginning with Ya and Redza but mak teh thought it would be too much for me handle.
