First Day @ Year 2, Beaconhouse Sri Inai

Ahh, what a feeling! To be back in school is something I've been looking forward to in the last few days. Honestly it got a little bored staying at home.

The teachers were busy getting ready and most of my friends from Year 1 returned and after reviewing the class allocation notice ...

I'm in Year 2 Rembrandt. From Wikipedia - Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch painter and etcher. He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art and the most important in Dutch history.

There's 25 of us in the class with a few new friends to make.

Ms.Dusshan is our class teacher and lesson proper kicks off tomorrow. In a class named after a painter, I've signed up for art & craft under the CCA.

Getting ready for School

1 week additional holiday just flew by but it wasn't fun at all. Many relatives of my friends were troubled by the flood and hope they have all returned safe preparing themselves for the new school year starting 12th January.

Books, Bag, uniform all set. I've been flipping through the books and getting myself familiar with the contents. Can't wait to get started!

2014 Year End Holiday Activity #3 - Pantai Indah Seaview

This was a short trip before New Year. The Pantai Indah Seaview Resort was about 25km from Kuala Selangor and time was pretty much spent driving around.

Did a little prawn catching nearby a commercial fishing pond.

Enjoying fantastic seafood fare for dinner.

2014 Year End Holiday Activity #2 - Lexis, Port Dickson

One of the biggest highlight last year was when my cousin sister's family came down from Johannesburg, South Africa for holiday in KL.

We had loads of fun but the best was our 3 days holiday at the fancy Lexis Port Dickson resort. The chalets are on water equipped with viewing glass panels.

We tried lots of things, Segway ride.

Wii Games.

Archery.

Clowning around and making the best of the trip. Baby Sailesh was just as excited and trilled with his first external trip with us.

Mostly we just lazed around and relaxed. Spending loads of sista time sharing stories and listening of musics. Come visit us again Rakshita!

2014 Year End Holiday Activities

December holidays are always a time to look out for simply because it's when we students really unwind after a whirlwind of a year submerged in books.

There was loads of food, in particular, Spaghetti Grill. Their fried chicken strips is awesome to say the least. But the highlight was the sumptuous Pizza.

Since it was Christmas, I bumped into lots of Santa Claus.

Here's Santa with Santarina.

This one not only looks like the real one (well atleast that's how we've been made to believe), he sings too and his voice is fantastic!

My personal favourite was Uncle KT. Not only I know him personally, his gifts were awesome and we had a blast mingling and interacting with his alter ego.

It was a pot luck party hence daddy prepared Italian seasoned linguini served with a choice of spicy peppers and tomato sauce or mushroom and herb sauce.

Worked on my own personalized T-shirt.

Attended a 5 days holiday camp @ Kiddo Science where 3 days was spend on science of Magic and the last 2 days on desert making. The masterpiece above is 3 of my workmanship using edible items.

2 Days of sensory development and brain training @ Genius Mind Academy. Sounds pretty heavy but it's great exercise to help students focus better.

A fruitful holiday indeed!

Grandpa turned 70!

Last month we celebrated Grandpa's 70th Birthday with a huge surprise party at the Gem Restaurant in Petaling Jaya. Rocking 70 was the theme of the day.

It was a month long plan with everything going flawlessly as Grandpa had no clue what was in store for him including Grandma thinking it was going to be a normal day out.

All our close relatives and friends were invited and grandpa's close friends also joined to wish him well. The whole ground floor was booked for our event.

Cake cutting, a video presentation of Grandpa from his younger days, my song rendition specially for him and great food made the night super special.

Happy Rocking 70th Grandpa!

Happy New Year 2015!

Starting the year with loads of presents! Thank You Aunty Caroline for the gifts.

2014 has been a very challenging year for me. Starting Junior school and enjoying every bit of it was fun coupled with a fair share of intensity but I emerged unscathed.

I am looking forward to a great 2015 with my head held high looking forward with great hope and ambition. My empathy to the flood victims and deepest sorrow to the families going thru the airlines tragedy. School begins a week late on the 12th.
