Dinner out with a friend cum classmate cum neighbour after replacement class on a Saturday. 

After the holidays, it is time to start the year end exam preparation again. Gosh, it feels like the last test was just weeks away and we have to prepare for another one again! 

This is our time table - 2.5 weeks left!

Last day of the school holidays. After breakfast, which was bread with fried eggs and cucumber, the children played for a while before heading out for more fun. 

In the evening, we attended a musical concert at a nearby school.

The live orchestra music was very loud and very long, DH fell asleep half way through the concert and managed to sleep all the way to the end of the concert. Even the loud music cannot wake him up!

XN showed more interest and listened very closely to the musical performance.

The school holiday is almost coming to an end and we decided to visit the local zoo for a change.

The children were very excited as usual and they can't wait to get in.

The local zoo gave us a closer feel to the animals.

There were the very popular "feed the animals" sessions which in this case were the camels. They loved to eat their vegetables.

The price to feed the camel was very affordable. The children had a great time.

Unfortunately, all the tigers were shot before we arrived....... wait a minute......oh, they were just sleeping under the tree.

The sun bears were more lively than the other animals. The other animals were mostly sleeping due to the heat.

There was a pony ride and the pony was very friendly.

We had a great morning at the zoo. After that we went for lunch and the children continue to play till late. Really wonder how they can have the energy to play continuously like that?

It was the start of the school holiday. We went to stay in Lego Land Hotel!

The lobby had a lot of Lego brick models and lots and small bricks around for the children to play with.

The children were really enjoying themselves because this was the first time there were so many bricks to play with. Even though all the bricks were the typical rectangular type, there were so many of them it was possible to create anything you want if you have the patience to build it.

DH  had a great time running around the lobby area.

We took a pirate theme room for the night.

The children had their own sleep area with 3 beds and their own TV too!

There was also a puzzle wall.

The most interesting part was the safe in the room which the children had to find all the clues around the room for the lock combination to unlock the safe and see the surprises inside safe.

Even the toiletries were Lego themed! 

At the hotel, there was a daily Lego building competition. For this month, the theme was birthday cake. And guess what, We WON!
