Q-tip?

I was browsing on the internet for a toddler's activities since Haris looked so bored playing alone. My eyes were glued on the computer for quite sometimes until I came across one of the blogs that talked about this painting technique, Q-tip. I was wondering what the Q-tip was so I asked my best friend, Mr. Google and the answered that Mr. Google gave me was, ' only use the tip to apply the paint by using a cotton bud.

Firstly, I laid a mat on the floor, put the bib on Haris, and squeezed some colors on the painting tray so that he could choose any colors that he fancied.







After playing with the colors for about an hour, he said 'mama finish'. Straightaway, I gave him a good washed and this is the result of the Q tip technique by Haris.. Not so 'tip', isn't? Apart from the Q tip technique, I also introduced a stamping technique by using a carved potato for painting, unfortunately, he did not like this technique as much as Q tip.



Sometimes, a standard coloring technique with the coloring book also will do.

October annual funfair

October annual funfair is a yearly event in Liege. The funfair lasts for a month. Nothing much we can ride or play since we have baby and buggy to take care of. But, still it worth to go and just enjoy ourselves.

Another activity for him

This was the second time I brought Haris to the story time. He seemed to enjoy it so much especially when he started showing 'strangers stress free' behaviour. Before this the separation anxiety had developed in him, but after various activities with the other babies, he seemed to improve a lot..As a mum I cannot resist me self from feeling proud and happy for him. When I was in the library, I met two new mums. These mums told me about the perfect places for the swimming, sensory skills and musical classes for the babies. I will be going to try them next week and will blog about it later.

For the time being, just a few pics of Haris with Teo after the story time.

day out

This photo's taken at mediacite shopping mall. Can you spot the boring face by haris?

Treat

At Quick burger on the last sunday. Early evening treat by papa after mumma and Haris complained about 'boredom'.

Hmm..I was thinking and planning about booking an outdoor shooting for us as a family. I found a very talented photographer and perhaps will book the session in September, after fasting month..InsyaAllah.

Enjoying the nature..

we went to am's univ yesterday morning to enjoy the forest walked. This was Haris first time at Am's univ..

Knackered but enjoying to the full

We had a full blast activities at the weekend. On saturday afternoon, our friends paid us a visit and brought us KFC. Yummyyyy! They were came along from Rotterdam, Holland. Rozi, Iskandar and their cute son Aiman. I cooked nasi kerabu with daging and ayam bakar for them. I started cooking like mad since 10 am and finished at 1pm. Just about the right cue when our guests entered our main door. After eating and resting for a while, we brought them sightseeing in Liege town and along the Meuse river. Taking pics, trying the best waffle in Liege were our activities before headed home and had a second servings of Nasi kerabu. They off back to Rotterdam at 7 pm.





By the way guys, Thanks for the KFC. Cheap train tickets for a day rider with Holland train and the top of that, thanks for this such cutie baby's body..



On sunday morning, we woke up around 7 am to get ready for our trip to Delft, holland. The journey took about 5 hours by train (including the waiting time and etc). We took IC trains and needed to change thrice before arriving at Delft Zuid station. This was the second time we stepped our feet in Delft. But this trip was not a holiday trip. It more on paying a visit to Am's ex-lecturers during Univ time at USM, Puan Wan and En Mail.

Preparing and serving a very nice meals by them was an extra bonus for us. The menus were Spaghetti seafood, mashed potatoes and sauce, rice, marinate chicken, apple pie and Ben and Jerry ice cream as a dessert. Our tummies were really fulled up with foods. The foods I can tell, totally gave us the satiation after half day fasting since in the morning! Rambling stomaches were eased away..Ada ke ayat gini? Hehehehe.. Burppppp!

After talking, praying and resting we off back to Liege at 6pm and safely arrived at Liege Palais station at 11.30 pm. Well, we supposed to arrive at 10.30 pm but because of our stupidity in Dutch language, we did not understand the instruction given by the train conductor. He was saying the train will split into 2. The front coaches will head to Maastricht, which was our initial plan destination and the back coaches will head to the other terminus station. We supposed to move into the front coaches at Sittat station but, unfortunately we did not. Hence, we ended up arrived at terminus station instead of Maastricht. So we had to take another train to Maastricht and resulting us missed our train back to Liege guillemin from Maastrich at 9.09pm. In the conclution, we wasted one hour of our travel time. Such a shame!


- muka yang kepenatan akibat lama dalam train and sakit bontot-

We arrived home around 12pm in the midnight. I was knackered and hungry like hell. The best part was, I badly needed to pee and took a bath. As in my previous entry, I am suffering from itchy skin all over my body when entering my third trimester of pregnancy and it is getting worst last night,when I spent almost 12 hours travelled without taking shower in the noon or evening. Plus, itchy scalp after covering head for the whole day. Rather than that, we were enjoying ourselves to the full and it was not a cliche weekened activities like it used to be!
