Halloween 2013

We didn't celebrate Halloween and we don't really know when is the exact day for Halloween :p
Saturday mommy brought us to New World Park for dinner and so happen that there was a Halloween activities over there.

There were Halloween theme creative makeup + costume contest, also there were few games been setup for the kids in conjunction with World Children's Day.

I played the first game which is Hook The Crocodile (no photo been taken).
If you managed to hook 3 crocodiles in 3 minutes, you will be given a little gift. So lucky, I able to complete within 3 minutes and I got the gift : )
We played all the games that setup over there as there was not many people there. No need to queue as well.

See the red ring on the moo moo horn? That's the ring I managed to hook on. 

Throwing the ring

 Shooting...we have to shoot the aliens. Too bad, I can't aim it accurately but 弟弟 was able to shoot one of it.

Throwing the ball in the cup. This game I managed to throw in 4 balls where 弟弟 managed to throw in 1 ball. We play it over and over again, as the 姐姐 in charge also didn't stop us, since there is no kids queue behind us : )

Angry Bird

Snack and Ladder

There are parts of the contestants. I told mommy I was scared but I still pretend to smile for the photo. But 弟弟 didn't scare of them, he even shake hand with one of them. 

But they are "friendly", they didn't purposely scared children. They come nearer to us and say hi. So we know they are not the real monster : )

See the mummy, vampire and werewolf? They all dressed up for the contest.

 Besides those scary make up, some dressed up very nice. Like these 2 girls below, they were dressed as Red Ridding Hood and Pumpkin. So happened that they are daughters to mommy's boss.

Yes, we met mommy's boss there. The whole family were dressed up for Halloween.

This uncle is mommy's boss

 After all the games and photo, we went to stage area and watch the make up & costume contest.  However, we left before the contest end.

Attending Party

Last weekend mommy brought us to a BBQ party at her friend's house.
We were just recovered from sickness, so not much we can eat in the party. We only able to eat the fried Mee Hoon.

Eating the char mee hoon by ourselves

After the party, 弟弟 starts to play with Barbecue at home. He used stool, toys to build like a barbecue pit. He used the cloths to hang on a long stick and that become the chicken : )

preparing for BBQ

See the hanging clothes? Those are chicken :D

We did request mommy to organize a BBQ party for us as well. Let's see if mommy able to fulfill our requirement.

Music School Annual Concert 2013

It's our music school annual concert again. I have been joining the concert since many years ago but this is 弟弟 first music concert.

Well, 弟弟 join back his music class after he stopped for few months.
This time he is willing to follow teacher's instruction and also show his interest in the class activities.
Not like previous time, he just sit aside and watch the other children play around during the class.

IMAGINE - this year concert theme

This year, the venue is in the indoor stadium of a high school. I would said that this venue is not a good place for a concert. The stage is small, and the sound system is not very good as well.

Besides, when the children perform, you can see a lot of parents just walking from one side to the other as it is a stadium. 

We like the concert that held in Dewan Budaya, USM. The stage is high and all the audiences are able to focus on the stage, it is like a cinema. 

As I am going to sit for ABRSM piano exam soon, teacher arranged us to play one of the song from our exam pieces in the concert.

弟弟 also been selected as his class representative to play piano in the concert.
As they all are very young, around 3-4 years old, they shared the piano. You can see that, 弟弟 actually playing together with another 2 children with the same piano.

As 弟弟 music group also perform a dance named Chiwawa. So mommy asked me to company him, that's why I am joining the dancing performance as well, though this is for younger children.

Before the dance, let's have a group photo. We, elder jie jie are wearing the yellow blinking ear where  弟弟 and the others younger children are wearing either orange or pink ear.

You spot 弟弟 and I? Actually is hard to take photo during their performance. All the parents just stand in front of the "dancer" and holding their camera up high for shooting. We can't get a clear and good picture on the whole group performance. Even mommy already stand at the highest staircase.

We, with yellow blinking ear are standing at the front row to guide those younger children. However, you see, some of the orange ear is standing together with us.

See all the parents are standing just in front of the children and we are not on the stage, so is just same level of height. That's why we can take a good photo of the group. Every parents will just focus on their kids and shooting on individual performance.

After the dance, we wait for a while to watch those elder jie jie and ke ke dancing.

This is during morning rehearsal. At least not that many parents and we able to snap some photo.

Not a good performance but at least 弟弟 got a chance to expose to public and he is independent enough and able to follow instruction now. Especially when I was on the stage to play piano, he just sit at one corner (the waiting area) and wait for me. Not like others di di, their mummy complaint that when the elder sister go up stage, the younger boy run around to find his sister and cry when he can't find her.
