BUILD A BEAR WORKSHOP

Yesterday afternoon i decided to bring my children for shopping and dining. We went to UNITED SQUARE. Yes it is my favorite place bcos everything there has all the children's neccessities!. We first went to popular bookstore to get some art crafts stuffs. Next to Toys R Us to buy 'PLAY-DOH' and then to GUESS Boutique to buy a bag and socks for Yasmin .

Once done, we went downstairs to the Atrium. There is a BUILD A BEAR WORKSHOP going on there. Both Yasmin and Ammar were so thrilled. To purchase these bears, you will have to go through seven fun steps!

First step - Yasmin chosed a pink bear named 'Hopeful Wishes Teddy' with an option to include a 'sound device' in the bear's body. Then we proceeded to the 'WOOL MAKING MACHINE' for the inserts.

Second step, as you can see above, the wools are inserted into the bear's body through a 'metal-pipe'.


Third step, some 'fixing's here and there to even out the wools in the bear's body.

Fourth step, Yasmin was asked to make a wish. She was given a small cushion of a heart design to insert into the bear's body.

Fifth step - Secured stitchings at the back .

Sixth step, brush and 'dry clean' the bear.

Seventh step - Make a birth certificate for the bear.

Viola! Finally 'HOPEFUL TEDDY WISHES' finally came alive! Yasmin prefers 'teddy' to be in its original self without any accessories. This lovely teddy cost only S$41.90!

ANGEL CLAY MAKING

Last Friday i took time off to spent quality time with Ammar. We went for 'ANGEL CLAY' making class. It was our first time but we did quite good! It was fun coloring, kneading and moulding the 'Angel Clay'. At the end of the day, i bought a box of Angel Clay to try it out at home. It cost S$10.50 for 65g.

Angel Clay is a new concept of clay from Korea , produced using challenging nanotechnology. With this new concept, Angel Clay has caused a stir in the clay industry in Korea . Its special characteristic is in its lightness . Its weight is only 1/8 that of the weight of normal clay . Not only that, the amazing thing is that when it dries up, it becomes even lighter! Because it is so light, you can use it to create sophisticated artwork which was never possible with conventional clay.

Angel Clay has a smooth and moist texture that makes you want to keep touching and kneading it. Because it comes in white, Angel Clay gives you the flexibility to create any colour you desire by use of poster colours, highlighters, markers, or any water-based and felt-tip pens.
A major strength of Angel Clay is that water is able to restore its softness and moisture should it dry up due to exposure to air. All you need to do is spray water on it, keep it covered in its container for a few days, and the Angel Clay can be used again!
With Angel Clay, the possibilities to create are endless . It is safe, non-toxic and so easy to manipulate; suitable for both children and adults!

Above are in-house samples done by the instructors.

The class ended for 1h 30 min and we are allowed to bring back our 'creations'.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

On 30th Aug was my bday but i only managed to celebrate it with my family on 31st Aug. This is in due respect to my elder bro, Fendy who had a surgery on my bday. Most importantly, i have all my families celebrating with me except for my dad who is at home taking care of my Aunt.

We had a lil Thanks giving led by my hubby, Zakki, with words of praises to Allah.

Yummylicious....Evryone loves the cupcakes!

Actually it was a last minute decision to order the cupcakes! Last month, I had infact ordered 40 pieces of mini cupcakes for Ammar's Teacher"s Day celebration but his teacher decided not to have any party. So instead i had asked KAK ROS to do new designs for my bday...hee hee...And as always, KAK ROS is ever so accommodating although it was a last minute request! Take a look at her creations! My family especially the kiddies were so thrilled upon seeing those cupcakes!

I also ordered cupcakes for my elder bro, Fendy who is recovering from his surgery.

I am so happy to have my family celebrating my bday with me.
