While you (Nayli) were in school all day... (Part 1).

Dear Nayli, after we sent you off to school last Saturday we did a couple of things... We are really sorry you missed it, but you were going to be in school all day that day till 5:30p.m in fact, there really is no excuse as to why we couldn't wait. Sorry! We promise to take you along next time.

Firstly we zoomed straight to Bangsar to have breakfast at our favourite place. We will not be updating any pictures this time because we had what we always have when we go there for breakfast. Papa and Zarif (Zaim shared with Zarif of course) had they Big Breakie as usual, and Zarif had Hot Chocolate. While Mama had her Waffles since she still has not gotten her much sought after waffle maker.

Secondly, we wanted to check out a bookshop, however it was too early so we decided to wait at the Lake Garden's playground. Zaim and Zarif had a wonderful time running around. This was not even the main playground area. We discovered a smaller play area by the car park. However, it was enough for the two boys to have a good time! 

Zaim enjoying the swing.





A little afraid but it was way too much fun to stop.







Zaim had his first "helicopter" ride!


Trying another swing, not sure what he's frowning at though.

Weeeee!!!

You cannot go to the playground without going on the see-saw.


We're going on a trip on our favourite rocket ship....

We see the beginnings of a rock climber perhaps???

Zarif even managed to make some new friends.

Zarif's favourite had to be this sliding bar.

Even though it was a rather overcast morning, it was still quite warm. Luckily, the lure of getting some books for themselves worked  to make these two boys to eventually leave the playground, with the promise of returning sometime soon of course.

Yes Nayli, what about the bookstore? you are wondering... Patience girl, we will update you on that in the next entry....

Farewell for Azlyn.

This is another group of life long friends, we have known each other since we were in school. I was the new comer since I joined the school (an all girls school) when I was in Standard 6. I have known Azlyn a little longer ever since we were in Standard 4 I think, because we went to the same religous school. The great thing about our group of 11 or so friends is that we weren't all in the same class. We only re-grouped in the mornings before class and during breaktime and since we were in a day school we don't spend much time together after schooling hours either. Yet till now we keep in touch even though not on frequent basis, we still keep in touch. Enough to know that we will miss Azlyn now that she is in Cairo following hubby who has just been re-assigned.  

We met up for a late lunch at Alexis, GEM two Sundays ago for a simple farewell. It was just the 5 of us, Carol (who is back for a sabatical of some sort from the UK), myself, Eva, Azlyn of course and Mariza. The rest could not make it. Some had other plans and another half of us are actually scattered everywhere around the globe.

Azlyn and her not so new found hobby in the form of 500D.
