OMG. That time of the year is here again!!! Moms! Brace yourselves!!!

My poor T1, she actually asked me today if I will be happy now that she is officially home or if I preferred her at school. She must have picked up on my conversations with adults on how I wasn’t looking forward to the school holidays. Major oops!!!

Of course, I told her it was the happiest time of my life!! And meant it. No more driving out to do the school run. No more nagging to get out of your school uniform to shower immediately after school. No more nagging to get to sleep early. It’s the holiday. We just relax and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

So.

Since we will not be traveling abroad seeing we’d done Perth and Chiang Mai last month and during the exams as well, oops, I now have to crack my head on how to entertain a very precocious little girl.

We have exactly 6 weeks with 6 weekends, so let’s start with the weekends in no particular order:

Weekend 1 – Christmas weekend with family

Weekend 2 – Melaka kampung trip (Miche, I’m really coming!)

Weekend 3 – Rapunzel party/movie screening (A big THANK YOU to the darling who gave us tickets!!!)

Weekend 4 – KLCC Park Bloggers Meet

Weekend 5 – Peter Pan the Musical

Weekend 6 – ????? RUN ERRANDS!!!!

Let’s get to the days of the week. Some days SHOULD be spent at home just chilling although my girl finds this boring but she needs to be trained how to get out of boredom. I always tell her that only a boring person can get bored. It’s true! If you are one who gets bored, then obviously you are not using your brain to think what else you can do!?! So, for the rest of the week days, we shall attempt to cover the following activities:-

1. Rock Climbing
2. Movies – Sammy’s Adventures & Megamind
3. KLCC Petrosains
4. Science Centre
5. KLCC Aquaria
6. Hip Hop dance class with classmates
7. Sunway Lagoon (maybe, only if I can get a gang to go. I’ve never been…..)
8. Paper machette-ing our next year’s Halloween costume
9. Designing, Organising and Staging a play where T1 is the main performer with T2 as supporting cast
10. Writing and Colouring a Story Board
11. Paint on Canvas (this won’t be finished by the holidays but it’s a start)
12. Maybe a trip on the KL Hop On Hop Off bus since she’s wanted to do this since forever (get to know your own kampung, y’know???)
13. Buying and measuring new school uniform/school shoes/school books for the big next year
14. On a weekly basis, we shall have at least one swim, one trip to the park/playground and one play date
15. She reads herself to sleep every night and whilst she has her poo so I shan’t include any reading activities. And seriously, she is way advanced in reading (she reads the Famous Five at six, the Hubs and I only read that when we were like twelve???) so I really need not worry about her reading. She even borrowed a Bahasa book from the library last week at her own initiative. I was so proud of her!!! Bahasa book, who would have imagined??!! I even asked her, what for??

Right, I think that covers enough fun. She totally deserves it. She has done SO WELL in school this year, despite it being reputed as the gruelling ‘too academically focused‘ school (straight As – Math, Science, English, Bahasa, Computers & Mandarin; although straight As at this level is a breeze, I don’t expect her to keep this up as we move on up!), she also did VERY WELL in the non-academic pursuits. She was co-emcee for her annual concert, she performed on Literacy Day, she performed for the school’s year end Xmas celebration and was ‘decoration‘ on stage when the school presented a token of books to the underprivileged children of Myanmar. She attended several field trips and watched a few movies at school including Shrek, The Little Mermaid and Lilo and Stitch (can’t remember what else). She had fun in school……she now says she doesn’t want to move up next year because she loves her teacher and wants to keep the same teacher forever. This is after moaning on the first month that her teacher was a tiger from the jungle! I secretly think she’s teacher’s pet, if there is such a thing.

All I can say is, these school holidays are going to be expensive (additional RM1500? the bulk due to the Melaka trip) and yes, it doesn’t have to be but these are the things she wants to do and well, I think she deserves it!!! I am proud of my monkey. And just as an after thought, these holiday privileges will be slowly confiscated one by one as and when any rudeness or disrespect or disobedience comes to surface. You know how it is with six year olds *wink*

What about you? What are your school holiday plans??? I don’t expect it to be as busy as ours, ours is completely OVER THE TOP!!! Poor T2, nothing planned for her. Never mind, she adores her Che-Che and will be happy to join in whatever her Che-Che does….. *grins*
