as mentioned earlier, i am on holiday now hmm... but you know, even though it sounds like i won't update this blog too soon, as a truthful blogger tell me who can't resist this. thank god i can get easy access to the internet here, only that i can't post my pics just yet! grr...so when i read that most bloggers already wrote about yesterday's event, i was like— "wahhh... this cannot be, i also wanna take the chance to win 32" lcd tv from sony!" hehee... i have already won a RM100 MPH voucher for being one of the 10 best written pre-event blog posts courtesy of friso (read my winning post here)... i wanna more!!!
kuE's note:pics above are courtesy of redmummy and lina *big grin*so as some of you people knew it, i was there at the event with my darling megat. actually we reached 1U +/- before 9.10 am. as the business hours start only at 10 am, we waited at the concourse level near the information counter until about 9.40 am; when we started to walk up straight to the kizsports & gym. how surprised we were that the organizers were all ready there to greet us parenting bloggers with our kids, including robb who later introduced me to tengku nila a very nice lady from dutch lady. i wished that i could know you more someday ;)the event has been lead by marcus as the emcee. he really has done such a great job. i could see that all the kids lurve him! wahhh... who knows, maybe he can also host a children's programme like pak nil someday hehee...
well, as soon as we registered, megat didn't waste the time at all to enjoy himself playing at the kizsports & gym while waiting for the event to start. what when he heard marcus told me that parents were allowed to try the games too specially during that event. i did! it was fun and scary a bit though especially when i was sliding down the slides *glurp* arghhh!!!... all you people should see my pics better to describe that wonderful moment, unfortunately i won't be able to download them yet :)part of the event was mentioned here. besides that, there were also some informative talk by ms evon tan, a nutritionist from dutch lady. not forgetting lilian chan, on her experience of raising her 5 kids aged between 6 to 18 years old. there was also a magic show by mr banana before the prize giving ceremony.
it was really a fun family day out indeed not just for kids, but parenting bloggers too! see you all again next year(?). i would like to take this opportunity to congratulate sawanila.com again, for winning the grand prize of 3D/2N trip to disneyland hong kong! don't forget some souveniers for me too occay?!! hehee...NOW... can that 32" lcd tv from sony be placed in my mansion? *glurp*take note that lotsa pics will be posted after my holiday, i promised! :)
updates: more great pics can be viewed here.
what is the meaning of the word family?many of us are neglecting of the word FAMILY especially those who are working and not giving too much attention to people beside them. i personally experienced the same thing but when i've read the story below, it all change my perspective about the people around me. it is a story of a son who wants to buy the time of his father. a very touching story, a simple but very effective in changing the person's life. i got it from an email to me, i don't know where this story originated so i consider this as a God's Letter to all the people who do not know the real meaning of the FAMILY. here it goes—a man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year-old son waiting for him at the door. “daddy, may i ask you a question?”“yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.“daddy, how much do you make an hour?”“that's none of your business. why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.“i just want to know. please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.“if you must know, i make $20 an hour.”“oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down.looking up, he said, “daddy, may i please borrow $10 from you?”the father was furious, “if the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. think about why you are being so selfish. i work hard everyday for such this childish behaviour.”the little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. the man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. how dare he ask such questions only to get some money? after about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. the man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.“are you asleep, son?” he asked.“no daddy, i'm awake”, replied the boy.“i've been thinking, maybe i was too hard on you earlier,” said the man, “it's been a long day and i took out my aggravation on you. here's the $10 you asked for.”the little boy sat straight up, smiling. “oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled. then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. the man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. the little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.“why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.“because i didn't have enough, but now i do,” the little boy replied.“daddy, i have $20 now. can i buy an hour of your time? please come home early tomorrow. i would like to have dinner with you.”share this story with someone you like... but even better, share $20 worth of time with someone you love. it's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. we should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.if we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. but the family and friends we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. and come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.so what is the moral of the story? don't work too hard... and know who you are working for... and... you know what's a family?F = fatherA = andM = motherI = iL = loveY = youfamily day is the name of a statutory holiday in israel and the canadian provinces of alberta, ontario and saskatchewan, and a public holiday in south africa.while in the united states of america, the country celebrates family day on 4th monday of september. i was unaware of the holiday until recently when i saw it online while i was browsing. in order to state my curiosity, i decided to do a couple of quick google & wikipedia searches to see what this holiday was all about. i’m really not any closer to finding the exact meaning of the holiday, but i suppose, on a very base level, it is about family and spending time with them and appreciating them. but do we really need a specific holiday to do that? shouldn’t that be something we do on a daily basis?what does family day mean to you? is it another day off of work? is it another long weekend you can use to get drunk? do any holidays nowadays have the meaning they once did “back in the day” (as it were)?
so what say you parent bloggers out there, if we spare some time during this school holiday seasons to join ‘nuffnang friso family day out’, the first nuffnang parenting bloggers gathering courtesy of friso! they are throwing in a big incentive for parenting bloggers to write as creative as they can to attend this event. the best creative blog post written will be rewarded with a dream vacation of a 3D/2N trip to disneyland hong kong for 2 adults and 2 children fully sponsored by friso!but it's not just that... there are lots of other prizes for your family that you can win. among them are; - 10 X RM100 MPH voucher
- and they are also rewarding parenting bloggers who write the best post event blog post with a 32” LCD TV from Sony!
so what are you waiting for mommy, daddy and/(or) parent bloggers out there? go here to find out more about this. now put on your thinking cap and let your fingers do the blog posting! who knows, your blog post might just win your family a trip to disneyland!hmm... shall i say that i will meet you all there with my megat? i know i will, insya allah... :~)
