Tres Marias summer workshop. It was indeed a long summer for my Tres Marias.They wanted something different and exciting . So I let them enroll to some short term workshop.

 

Ela enjoyed to play the guitar. So I decided to let Joana to teach her at home. I find it very  money saving since the tutor will be coming to our place. Joana seems to be a nice teacher even though she finds it difficult to teach younger teens in playing the guitar. Eventually Ela learned some songs played on the guitar. I am amazed of how fast she wanted to learn. She really strums the guitar everyday for her not to forget what she learn.

Cj is on voice lessons. I enrolled her to Patricks a studio with all the gadgets necessary for the recording of voice. It was indeed her first to enroll such activity. She was so excited at the same time nervous on her first day. She will have a recital on the latter part of May.

Kim is on dancing. I enrolled her on her school summer dance workshop. She always see to it that she will be ready for the afternoon sessions. She tagged along her cousins. She really love what she is doing. Imagine she needs to dance from I:00 to 5:00 pm but her energy level  never let go. She’s really up too late in the evening just to show what she learned. She end up the workshop with big bang. All of us went to her dance from Folk dance and hip hop. She will never forget this summer because  she was one of the chosen dancers of the school. It will be a busy Saturdays  during schools for me and Kim.

Series for Ela and Kim

Sometime ago my I heard my kids sing some song which lyrics that so strange to my ears. I was asking them about it. But they just both giggled. One time I heard Kim saying  “ amirah! Amirah”  with a very unfamiliar tone.  I asked her did you have a new friend with that. She nodded “ NO”.

  Every time Ela and Kim arrives home they are so excited to change the channel to watch this on Disney Channel. I was so curious . so I seat with them and listened as they sing along with opening song of the said TV show. They really enjoy it.

So I decided to search for it in the Wikipedia “Waktu Rehat (Break Time), also known as As The Bell Rings Malaysia, is a Disney Channel Asia Original television series that premiered on August 31, 2010. It is based on Disney Channel Italy Original Series, Quelli dell'intervallo. The show follows on a group of Malaysian Lower Secondary School students from fictional SM Jalan Mas (Golden Road Secondary School) on the school hallway during Recess.

The series premiered on August 31, 2010. The first episode, called "Durian Breath" or "Nafas Durian" was shown online on August 18, 2010 in Disney Channel Asia website & Disney Channel Asia's YouTube channel. The show currently airs every Saturday and Sunday on 12:00 pm (MAL/PHIL).. English Subtitles are available during each episode.

I find it educational and funny. Especially for my kids when they hear some words same with us. They pretend to know the language because they are reading the subtitles. So now I know that it is break time from all the dramas .

Rotonda Escapade

     We had an adventure week end at ROTONDA.  A rice field all around you. The pasture is really green. We went there for a visit for Ela and Kim . We tagged along some cousins and relatives. We visited a relative who passed away.

     Ela and Kim seems to be excited to see such place. We ventured to the place where they haven’t seen for a while. They grew up preferably in the city. It is their first time to passed along a rice plot. The van we used seems to be swaying left and right just to get through the small alley.

   We enjoyed meeting some friends. As we decided to go home. We had a slight fall on the other side of the rice field. Needless to say, we need to get out from the vehicle just to give way of the van to be moved. The kids seems to be enjoying the adventure. They thought of many things like maybe they will leave the place late in the evening. So we ask some help from houses nearby. Good they lend us their tools .  So the driver was so engrossed of lifting the wheel from the mud. The driver made a plan, we will all be seated at the back portion of the van so that the van will left a little higher . Then the van moved. At last, the van moved. We all yells ...hooray.
