Fruits of Labour: Redux!

Sometime October last year, Daddy and I got on a mini garden project and almost instantly we saw it bearing fruit. Literally.

Today, despite being a small plant .. we've had a good harvest. The green chillies are really awesome and looks so healthy. It was beyond our expectation and the bugs were kind enough to not feast on this one.

Water used to wash the vegetables before cooking is poured here in the morning and that practice gave us this surprise. A Little Capsicum plant grew in the same pot.

I couldn't believe my eyes and happy that this project turned out to be a great success. We have begun looking into other potential vegetables to be added to the garden.

We got a ringgit's worth of green chilies and a little capsicum. Not too bad.

Smart Kids 2010

This year's Smart Kids Fair at PWTC was bigger than ever. Not that I've been to them year after year but somehow the amount of walking done justifies the size.

It was a father daughter affair so we left early hoping to be the first 1000 eligible for a goodie bag. We thought we had a good chance thinking how many people were willing to pay an entrance fee and sacrifice their Sunday ... how wrong we both were about it.

The turnout was unbelievable. People may have been there as early as 8 for the opening at 10:30. We were in que for 30 mins before reaching the entrance.

I got to play with lots of educational toys from various vendors and service providers. Again Grolier was there and another surprising item that caught my eye.

Pingu English Training Books and tapes. Based on a stop-motion claymated TV series, Pingu doesn't talk. I wonder how kids would relate.

Gymboree Art Class

At the end of the Level 6 art class, we get a chance to play dress up. Interesting selection available for the girls but sadly limited for boys.
