AQWA

To the AQWA !. Yes, last Tuesday, we took the children to AQWA..Aquarium of Western Australia. We decided to go on Tuesday to avoid large crowds and traffic jammed. Well how wrong we were. There were huge crowds lining to get tickets inside. With little bit of patience we managed to get inside. There were varieties of fish, turtle, sharks, stingrays, sealions..etc. I think the best part was when we entered undersea world..shipwreck coast. Those angry sharks were swimming over our heads. However, I have been to the better seaworld than this...

Caversham Wildlife Park

During the first week of school holiday, we took the children to the Caversham Park. It was quite a pleasant experience. It was our first encounter with Aussie animals such as Kangaroo, Koala, Wombat and host of other species that we never saw before. The outing was ended with a refreshing picnic nearby the park.

Story Telling Session at Mirrabooka Library

Today I brought the kids to the Mirrabooka library. They have some books to be returned. While in the library, surprisingly they organized a story telling session for the children. No wonder many children were around. Guess what..Alia had become a guest star during the session. Unbelievable. Alia and Amal were quite reluctance at first, but after much persuasion they relented and listen attentively to the story teller. A very pleaseant experience. Guess what..Santa was presented too.

Summer Oh Summer

Summer is here ! Get ready to get hot and sweat. Over here summer is damn hot. The temperature can easily reached 40 degrees. Imagine like Arafah!. However after much pleading and pestering from Alia, I decided to buy a plastic pool for them to get soaked! Amal had been acting like a champion swimmer...Alia as her usual self..like a hungry crocodile.

AIC Open Day

Over the weekend, on Saturday, Australia Islamic College, Dianella where Alia and Aida attending their school held an open day. It was quite a remarkable scene. They have choir presentation, face painting, clowns, teachers meeting, barbeque and hosts of others.

Strawberries Pickings at Wanneroo

Salam,

Over the weekend, we went to Elliot Rd, Wanneroo for fruit picking activity, strawberry that is. The farm called Hai's strawberry is owned by a charming Vietnamese Aussie. He was is Pulau Bidong before, before Aussie government took him away to WA. Anyway, the farm is abundance of sweet red strawberries ready to go into your belly. Wash the first ! You can pick as many as you can, and will be charged approx AUD20 per 10 kilos. I was very interesting and enjoying picking the fruits. We managed to get approx 10 kilos. I don't know whether we can finish the or not. They can easily get rotten.

Anyway, we able to make couple of jams, strawberry chocolate, strawberry shakes and even desert. Still have some more. Maybe they will end up in a rubbish bin!

Hillary's Day Out

Took the children to Hillary's boat harbour today. Along the way, we stopped by at Coles to visit my work place.
