Numb

Today, I'm feeling a little numb.. though not as bad as I felt yesterday...



I am thankful for the support from my family and friends. Rezad and I are encouraged by the fact that Arif appears to be in perfect health, is growing well and is not in any discomfort. The doctors are just being extra cautious due to his medical history. Still, my heart drops each time they give me "the worse case scenario talk". As a mum, I can't help but worry. However, rather than worry myself sick, I think right now prayer, faith and courage are better ways for me to cope with what may come ahead.

His physio begins next month and his ultrasound is in three months. I think when the New Year rolls around, he would have made leaps and bounds :) All I have to do is shower him with my love and continue to have faith.

The Force Was With Us @ Kinokuniya

Last weekend, the boys and I attended the Star Wars Reads activity at Kinokuniya, KLCC, which was organised by the Star Wars Malaysia Fab Club. It was really fun and we had an awesome time :)

Here's the panel of Star Wars experts, who provided an in-depth take on what's happening in the Extended Universe and what to expect in the upcoming Star Wars movie.

A Fun Day @ Kidzania :)

Recently, the family and I had a chance to enjoy a day at Kidzania, courtesy of Lifetime's Mom's Time Out Blogger Post-and-Win activity. It was our first time at Kidzania, so it was really exciting for us! Here's a glimpse at Kidzania and the wonders that await within:

Kidzania
First, we checked in with our 'boarding passes.'

Then, Amir swung by the bank to cash his cheque and get some Kidzos (Kidzania currency).

Kidzania
Kidzania is a miniature town, with everything scaled down to kid size. Kidz are supposed to get 'jobs' at Kidzania. At some jobs they'll earn Kidzos, while some activities will require them to pay Kidzos.

Every child is a star, but now he or she can be so much more! To celebrate your child's talent, let him be a Dugrostar! With Dugrostar™, every child gets to be a star! This opportunity is open to children in two age-based categories: three to six years AND six plus to 10 years. Participants in each age category can enter in these segments - singing, dancing, playing an instrument or a combination of these talents, and perform individually or in a group of up to six children.

From now to 12 October, join proud parents across Malaysia to rejoice in the special talent of their child by participating in this unique opportunity.  Parents can register their child in three ways:

i. By uploading a video of their child’s performance at www.dugro.com.my;

ii. By visiting select nationwide roadshows where live recordings can be made at the Dugrostar™ Recording Booth; or

iii. By submitting the completed registration form with a recording of their child’s performance and mailing it to the address found on the registration form.

What’s more, participation in Dugrostar™ is absolutely free, with no proof of purchase requirement!

Children can also enjoy exclusive Dugrostar™ collectibles with purchases of Dugro® 900g softpacks during the campaign period, such as piano or guitar bags, cool jackets and watches, and much more!
