Field Trip to KL Bird Park

It was a field trip organized by my children’s kindergarten and it was meant for children from year 4, 5 and 6. Year 3 children could join with one condition: They must be accompanied by their parent(s).

A dilemma had risen within me. If I tag along, my middle child, Wayne, would stick to me instead of following his group but on the other hand, my daughter, Nyn, has been talking about the trip day and night. How can I say NO?

Yup, you guessed it right! I gave in!

*fast forward*

We finally arrived at our destination by bus.

Before going in, the children were brought to the mobile toilet outside the entrance.

Birds that we saw: the hornbill, the eagles and hawks, the Lorries, the lovebirds, the storks, the parrots, the peacocks, the peasants, the emus and ostriches and etc.

The children were excited to see birds of all colors. Besides birds, there are fishes too.

Can you guess what this is? Answer will be revealed in my next post.

The nursery is a MUST SEE! We actually see eggs in the incubator and little chicks hatched in there.

What about birds feeding? Sounds fun, eh? Well, we managed to feed the ostrich with vegetables. If you visit the bird park, walking at your own pace, you would be able to feed other birds as well.

If you would love to take a photo with the birds standing on your shoulder or your hand, you can do it here and the price listed is RM5 per shot (with your own camera) and RM20 (with the their camera and a printout)

The last stop was the bird show. The bird show was actually not up to my expectation but generally enjoyable for the children.

The field trip ended with a meal at the restaurant in the bird park.

An enjoyable trip, I would say but guess what?

I became the weight lifter that day and was so exhausted when I came home. Why the weight lifting you may ask. Well, that’s because my little daughter fell asleep while watching the bird show and I had to carry her all the way to the restaurant and I tell you, she is not light at all!

Nice experience overall.

Bread and More Bread

I think it runs in my family or I would never have the answer as to why I love bread so much. My sister is known as "Bread Queen" and we often tease her that she would marry a "Bread King", a man who owns a bakery.

We can eat bread every morning and still not bored. Now, I married a husband who also loves bread and off course, we produce three lovely children who love bread too. We could eat bread for lunch or bread for dinner at times and not to mention bread for breakfast everyday.


So, you can imagine us visiting bakery, going in empty handed and coming out with loads full of bread but thinner wallet.


If you are wondering where I got those buns from, they are from a shop called Dami.



Bread, anyone?

What Cake?

Have you guessed? This was my sons' previous birthday cake. You see, we love Secret Recipe's cakes but each one of us have different taste bud or should I say, we like to try new flavors which we have not tried before. So, instead of getting the whole cake of one flavor, we mix and match and it turned out like this.

The boys were rather happy with this mix and match cake. Maybe they love to eat a little of this and that, just like me.

Well, have you mix and match cakes for birthdays before?

Potato Salad

This is easy to prepare and I would always bring this for pot luck or parties. For a lazy and lousy cook like me, this would be a perfect dish to prepare.


Ingredients:

1. Potato (boiled and mashed)
2. Hard boiled eggs (mashed)
3. Onion (minced)
4. Mayonnaise
5. Butter or margarine
6. Salt
7. Pepper


Mix it all up and you get your very own potato salad. It tastes good too.
