Uniqlo Star Wars TShirts

This is a long overdue post but I would want to record this here.

During the last school holiday, my Ah Mah followed Ah Ku's family for a holiday to Taiwan. Ah Ku and Ah Kim bought us two Star Wars Tshirts from Uniqlo Taiwan each for Kor Kor and I. I was happy because I am a fan of Star Wars. It was later that Mami realised that Uniqlo sold the Tshirts here too, but the sizes ran out really quickly.

Here is a picture of us wearing Star Wars TShirts. Tobin Kor Kor's Tshirt was also from Uniqlo Taiwan.

Do forgive our "old fashioned" hairstyles. Our hair were still wet, and
Mami loves to comb our hair like that because
it reminds her of our late Ah Kong.

Random Picture

I just want to share a random picture. Mami likes this photo of Kor Kor and I in our pyjamas. We were taking turns to play FIFA Football game on the Ipad. So, while waiting for my turn, I sat on my Kor Kor... so excited to see the football match. I must have been very light, because there was no complains from Ben Ben Kor Kor.

Holiday in Hard Rock Penang

We had a 3 days 2 nights holiday in Penang. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was one of the best hotel for me. I enjoyed it very much because of the pool slides.

I love swimming in the pool because it had multiple pools. There was a pool with 3 slides, a sand pool and a deeper end pool. I particularly loved the pool slides. It was fun. Though it was during the school holidays, it was not overly crowded, and there was hardly any queue to the slides.

We went to the beach. It was clean. We enjoyed the rides at the beach. We had the viper and banana boat ride. It was costly, but it was great fun. I was shocked to see Ben Ben Kor Kor's reaction. He was not very brave. I sat in front for both rides because Kor Kor was fearful that he would fall off the boat.

We spent a good amount of time in the Hard Rock Teens Club. It had Billiard tables, Futsal table, PSP and a Mini Theatre. I loved to play billiards and watch movies in the mini theatre. Would you believe that I won a billiard tournament against Ben Ben Kor Kor? Here is my evidence.

The food was ok, but very costly. Breakfast was provided and the selection was good enough for me. I ate nasi lemak (plain without sambal) and roti canai (with dhal) the most. I took pancakes too. I did not fancy the sausages, ham and hash brown. They were not really my favourite.

It was a good holiday for me. Kor Kor and I enjoyed ourselves.

Frying An Egg

At what age did you learn to fry an egg?

As for me, I am 7 years old and Mami has taught me how to fry an egg. This is the result of my first attempt. I must say, I was way better than my Ben Ben Kor Kor. I was really proud of my achievement.

Swimming is My Favourite Sport

I love swimming. I don't particularly enjoy swimming lessons, as I prefer jumping into the pool and playing in the water. Playing water is so much fun. Of course, it would be best to play in the pool with friends.

Unlike my Kor Kor who goes multiple times a week to the swimming pool for his training, I only have my swim lessons once a week. I have individual coaching under a great and fun coach. Mami was advised to transfer me from my individual lesson to the intermediate group lessons during the weekends. This would mean that I would have to swim longer hours, twice a week. I don't think I am up to the challenge yet. Perhaps later I will consider. Oops... I know it is up to Mami to consider, but I am sure she feels the same way too :)

1st Day of the Holiday

I consider today the first day of my school holiday. I always feel that Monday is the start of the week. So, it feels like it today.

My holiday was a little boring. As usual, Mami expects Kor Kor and I to do some revision. She would always repeat herself by saying that school holidays are the best time to do revision. It is difficult to revise during school days. I agree with her because I would always complain if Mami tries to do revision with me during school days.

So, as expected, I had some workbooks to do. After awhile, I got distracted.

I know my head should not be down,
but this was after one hour of revision.

Distracted by a Lego Ninjago brochure

After revision, I went downstairs to watch a bible movie.

In the afternoon, Mami wanted to do some music theory revision with me, but to no avail :). I had to attend my regular Kumon class at Kumon centre. Was there for an hour. 

After Kumon, Mami made me happy by bringing me to the swimming pool to have an hour swim. It was so fun and refreshing. Of course I did not swim all the time. I played in the pool most of the time.

After dinner, I had to practice my music. Today, Ben Ben Kor Kor helped me with a new song. 

So, that was roughly how my first day of school holiday went by. Boring huh?

Lego Swamp Police - Box Of Bricks Midvalley

There is this new shop in Midvalley called Box Of Bricks. They are located at 3rd Floor. They are having a Lego exhibition with the theme Swamp Police - Catch the Crooks in the Wild. The exhibition is at Ground Floor, Mid Valley Centre Court from 11th to 22nd March 2015 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

We went as a family to see the legos offered, thinking of buying a Lego Technic present for my cousin Tobin. There were quite a good variety of series offered. A few had some discounts. However, most of the lego sets there were tagged as normal priced items. Nevertheless, there was a good teaser for lego purchases which caught Kor Kor's and my attention. With every purchase of RM100 and above, we are able to enter a mission game and we will be entitled to get a free minifigure series 12. There were also other promotions whereby some bigger sets purchased entitles you for a free lego. However, these are very limited. Quite a number of sets were sold out.

There are 3 steps to the Mission Game. 

1) You will be given a small container with lego bricks. Bring the container to the table provided and you will see a laminated document with the instructions to build a lego police car. You just have to build the police car as per the instructions.

2) Once you have build the police car, bring it to a station that has two tracks. It looked like a maze. Run your police car through the maze which leads you to the crooks.

3) Identify the crooks in the Mission Booklet provided to you by circling the crooks.

Once you finished the Mission Game, the police car is all yours.... Yeay!!! Not only that. You will also receive a poster and a cerfiticate of completion. Isn't that great?

It was a great experience for me and Ben Ben Kor Kor. We had lots of fun. If you want to participate, be sure to have your receipt of your purchases at all times. They require your receipt. So, if you are free, do drop by and believe me, it is worth it because you get a free lego police car, and don't forget to redeem your mini figure series 12 using the same receipt at Box of Bricks shop in Midvalley.
