MY "LAST DAY" OF SCHOOL (PROBABLY) || 20th MARCH 2020

Hi there,

  Uhuhuhuhu!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is probably my last day of school at Pirie Park and if you guys were wondering why I wrote 'probably', here is the story.

   So as all of you would have known, the Coronavirus is all over the world right now. So our school (and the rest of schools in the UK) is probably going to close till August which is the end of Primary 7!😢😭😰😥😣 We were so sad to leave each other especially me because I am going to go back to Malaysia at the end of P7 to take my UPSR examination. The others will go on to secondary school. I will miss them so much!

We had a crying fest at school just now. Hahaha!!! We will also be missing our prom, Idzhar will miss his science club, I will miss my art club and we will miss all the upcoming events. We were so mad at the Coronavirus. One of my friends was stuck in Spain last week but he is back now and he came to school today. Anyway, here are some photos of our last day in school today. I really hope school will not be closed till summer so we get to meet each other for a bit before we say our final farewell before the summer holidays.

FAIR AND FROZEN

Hi there.

So, like I said in the previous post, there are christmas decorations, markets and fairs everywhere right now and I already told you about the fair in Edinburgh in my last post.

Last Saturday,  the day before we went to Edinburgh, my family and I went to Intu Braehead to watch Frozen 2. I was so excited! The movie was awesome! After the movie, we went to Pizza Express for dinner. It was a  really nice family outing.

Kids' movie snack at Odeon. 

 Got our snacks and ready to go in.

Ready to go home, sleep early to go to Edinburgh early next morning.

The day before that, we went to George Square at the city centre to go to the Christmas fair. It was so pretty with all the christmas lights, the rides and the decorations! Idzhar and I were so excited! We begged Mommy and Dadda to let us go on one of the rides. Hehe... They said that we could go on the merry-go round or the carousel because the queue for the ferris wheel was too long. Mommy took Aysha on the ride with us while Dadda stayed to take pictures and videos of us and looked after Aysha's stroller.

After the ride, we went to get S'mores! Before they made our S'mores, we got to toast our own marshmallows too. I chose a chocolate Oreo S'mores while Idzhar had the chocolate orange S'mores. Needless to say it was so yummy, even Dadda, Mommy and Aysha couldn't resist picking on our S'mores! At the fair, we bumped into a few of Dadda's friends. We talked and took pictures with them. Finally, we went to have dinner at Las Iguanas before heading home.

 Some Malaysian friends in Glasgow.

 Aunty Natasha was also there. She is also one of Chevening Scholars in Glasgow, like Dadda.

 Dadda's classmate, uncle Enad Talal from Saudi with his wife were also there.

We missed the Govan Christmas fair a few days ago (because we were planning to go the day after but it turns out that the fair was only for a day) but Pirie Park Primary's Chrismas Fayre is coming soon! Will tell you all about that after the fair on Friday. 

Bye. ⛄

MY TRIP TO EDINBURGH|SEPTEMBER

Hi there.

I wrote this earlier in September but I forgot to post it so here it is.

Nadhrah has gone back to Malaysia (I will miss you and the other cousins) but Cuna, Uncle Aie, Mama and Safiyyah were still in UK but they are at Edinburgh so we decided to visit them before they fly back. Dadda rented a Suzuki this time. It's just a small car that can fit us all. Hehe... We actually didn't want to sleep there but we think we will be late so we just took some clothes and put in a bag and went. We arrived there about 1 or 2 p.m.

Ayahde, Cik De, Nadhrah & Mawar came to our apartment before they left. Said our farewells in front of our apartment.

On the way to Edinburgh. The weather was nice.

First, we went to The Royal Botanic Garden. That place was huge. There, we took a lot of pretty pictures and we also bumped into some Malaysian Chevening Scholars that Dadda had contacted. After we're done, we went to a hotel that Mommy had booked last minute. Although the hotel was small, it was so beautiful. Mommy was so happy because the hotel was right in front of the student house where Mommy, Tok Mama and Pak Su stayed for a while when Tok Mama was studying in Edinburgh years ago. After that, we went to dinner at Nandos in a mall near Cuna's air BnB. We ate, talked and had a lot of free botttomless yogurt that comes with the kids' meal.  After that, we went to Cuna's BnB.

Nando's at Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre where we had dinner.

The next day was the day that Cuna and the others went back to Malaysia so we went to meet them again before they went to the airport. Before we went to meet them, we went around Edinburgh. We went to the house Mommy and Tok Mama stayed a long time ago. After that, we went to Mommy and Pak Su's school. Then we went to meet Cuna and the others at Edinburgh Waverley Train Station Mall. We ate lunch at Chopstix Noodle Bar. It was so good! After we're done eating, we went shopping!!!

Tok Mama's university, not her department though, hehe...

It was an Open Day weekend in Edinburgh so we got to go into McEwan's Hall, where students from Edinburgh University have their graduation ceremony.

Walking in Princes Street Garden on the way to Waverly Shopping Centre. Edinburgh Castle in the background.

Our last meal together before they went back to Malaysia - Lunch at Chopstix at Waverly Mall.

With Mama, Dadda's mom, on the way to the carpark.

We stopped by at Aunty Jill's apartment to say hi and for CuNa to return the car seat she borrowed for Safiyyah during their Scotland trip. We also said our goodbyes to each other here as we all went our separate ways.

After that, it's time to go home. My family and I went back to Glasgow. Cuna, Uncle Aie, Saifyyah and Mama went back to Malaysia (Bye guys! We will miss you!)

So that's all for now. Till my next post.
Bye.
