1:39 PM

Yea, nasi ayam for lunch! Whoopee!

It was very spicy. Well, only the chili sauce. But at least it wasn't TOO spicy for my intake.  The chicken was moderately good, and the veggie - blagh.  It would've been better if Mom did not hog all the mushroom for the broth. I mean, whoever heard of that? I've heard of mushroom soup (which I heart intensely), but mushroom BROTH? C'mawn, man, I'd rather eat mushroom brethren. XD
Anyways...oh yeah! I was talking about the veggie. Well. Mom told me to cut carrots. Then she said, "So basically you just choose your veggie you want to cook." I silently screamed, "I DO NOT LIKE CARROTS IN MY VEGGIE!" I don't like crunchy carrots. I only approve of soft, cooked carrots. Annnd...we didn't have Zergut. So my veggie was kinda nasty. As for the greens - huh! They were FLOWERS. And there weren't enough. Hmph - chicken bok bok choy is better. And the rice was just fine. All yellow and all.

Hey! Guess what! It's 1:47 PM now.

Random Happenings

Thursday: Pre-Eid

On Thursday, there was an akikah for someboddy's baby. Coincidentally, it was the same day before Eid. So, after all the eating and most of the people left, me, S, and some of our friends helped decorate the masjid for Eid. We put up the lights is the musalla and the hall. We put streamers over the windows. It was very hard work. While me, S, R, and Keela were doing the lights in the hallway, Keela's brother Zak came and helped a little bit. He got a sticker (goat head) stuck in his sock and he told me to get it out because he was too chicken. Then he asked me if I got henna. I said not yet. But then I saw S getting it, and so I did too. After I got it, I continued with the lights. It was hard 'cause I didn't want to mess up my henna. My hair was all messy and I had to ask Ummi to tuck my hair back inside my tudong. When we were all done, we played in the musalla. R, Keela, and Keela's sister Nabeel were gliding and sliding in the musalla with their socks. Keela's mom took a picture of us (S, me, R, Keela and Nabeel). Then, we left. We went to Albertsons and bought some food for the visitors. We got ice cream, cookies, and Go-Gurt.

Friday: Eid

I woke up like a few minutes before Fajr and I was like wondering if I could go back to sleep or not. Then, after a while, I heard the water being turned on upstairs, and so I knew that daddy was awake. Then, I got ready t'go. I couldn't find the dress, btw, so I had to be tradishunal, much to your disappointment. Then, when we were all ready to go, we went outside. Ummi told us to stand in front of the garage so she could take pictures. We were all worried about the cars passing by and wondering why ugly people in nice clothes were standing in front of a garage like poor peeps, and a ninja was taking pictures of them. XD.

So then we went to the masjid. People were fillin' up the masjid like ants to crumbs. R wasn't there yet, and Mnr wasn't either. So we sat fatly, watching people hug each other and listening to the takbir. And watching the weird, smelly kids. Pretty soon R came in. Her clothes were so JUICY. They were white and turquoise with millions of sequins. Even her socks matched.

(Unfortunately, I couldn't find my pink socks, so I had to wear my blue ones, and they didn't match at all with my pink baju krong.) Then, it was time for the salat. Me and Z went to the kitchen so he could eat, and we watched R's mom Sry do an activity with the little kids. They watched Take Me to the Ka'aba. Then they played a game. Then, my long lost friends came late for the prayer. (Their names are Nr and Hb.) Then I took Z out to the playground.

Pretty soon the prayer was over, and people came pouring to eat. Me, S, and R played at the playground and talked about henna and stuff like that. While I was waiting for Ummi to be done talking and for Abi to be finished drinking tea or something, I sat in the van with the door open and listened to a nasheed that I recorded on my camera. :D Then we went home.

Sandy's dad was supposed to come to our house so we could follow him to the farm. He took like a million years. He finally came. He led us to  place where there were millions of potholes and loads of flying dust. At the farm, nobody was there to supervise us. We took a look at the sheep and the pigs (blech!) and the chicken chickens. There was this teenage chick that escaped from the coop by a hole in the wire door. Abi tried to get it back through the hole by opening it more and saying, "Sini, sini, sini!" But of course chickens don't understand human language, and Malay at that, so it just ran away in fright. Pretty soon all the men came and they chose some good sheep. The only sheep there that wasn't scared of humans was the big black one with big horns. Sadly, we slaughtered it. I took a video of the first sheep to be slaughtered. S thought it was sick and nasty. But me, I could watch without wincing a smidgen, like I said twelve posts ago. I was planning to take videos of the other ones being slaughtered but then I changed my mind.

Finally, after sitting in the van being cold, Abu Yaz (Sandy's dad) said to Abi, "You can go now, F. You have kids." And I silently said, "YAY! Thanks, Sandy's dad." and S chuckled. So we went home, and I slept on the way.
Abi and Ummi cut the meat for a long time. I saw Ummi smashing chicken with the flat side of the knife to make it look more appetizing, as that's how they do nasi ayam in Maleesia.

Then the guests started coming after Maghrib. Auntie Saleem and Kylie came first. Kylie had a broken arm because of his daftness. Then Amunay came. Amunay is one of the coordinators for the Muslim Girls Club. Amunay left early 'cause she was scared about leaving her kids (Suheidi, Lulu, and Yasser) at home alone. Kylie played with H violently. After a while, Muhee, Hal, and Akeely came. Then Tonio, Noha, and Mstfa came. Me, S, H, Z, Kylie, and Mstfa played on the carpet. Mstfa tugged H's hair and pinched Kylie's nose. It was hilarious. Then everyone started to leave. Muhee, Hal, and Akeely left first. Then Auntie Saleem and Kylie left. Lastly, Tonio, Noha and Mstfa left.

Saturday: Post-Eid

I was the first to wake up. The living room was all nice and yellow, and everything was silent. I ate some cookies. Then Z woke up and we made bracelets. Pretty soon Abi woke up and said, "Siap Z! We're going to Chucky!" I told Z to get ready, but he said he didn't wanna go. Pala HOTAK n'kau! (That's Malay. I dunno what it means, but mommy says it and it's funny.)

I ran into my room and said to S, "Wake up, S, if you wanna go da Chuck!"
I ran into H's room and said to H, "Wake up, H, if you wanna go da Chuck!"

Next thing I knew we were in the van driving to the mall. We played at Chucky Cheeses for a bit 'cause H had a soccer game at 1:00 or something. The first thing I played was a bowling game. Then I played a football game.  I was slightly good at it. Then I put two tokens in a basket ball game that was broken and I had to ask the people to get it out.

All too soon, we three used up all our tokens. Boohoo! We fed our tickets to the ticket thingy and got prizes, then left.


The End.

The Busy Day - and the Interface

This Post Is Ten Days Old. But Read It Anyway.

THE BUSY DAY

a Story told by N

    Sunday was a busy day. First, we went to tennis (and left John at home). It was fun. The only thing I mostly do there is rollerblade around the court picking up tennis balls. After H got tired of playing tennis he wanted to go climb a tree, so he did. After he got down he tried another tree. He found a nice big thick stick (like his head). He told me to climb it first, and when I tried to, someone came to us with her frilly brown dog. Well, actually, it was a puppy. The owner said the dog was only a few months old. So we petted it, and then the owner went away.

    We continued to climb the tree, but I couldn't, so we went to another tree. H found a silly streams spray can and tried to spray it, but it was clogged or jammed or something, so he tried breaking it open with his 'staff'. The can was pretty strong, and after H whacked it a few times, it sizzled. But nothing came out. Then he got angry and hit it real hard, so much that it broke the stick (LOL). Then we played baseball with the can and the broken stick pieces. Then we gave up and went to the playground. We played something (I forgot) and then pap said, "Challo!" (That means 'Let's go!')

    So after we all stunk up the van with our sweat, we went to Unidad Park, which H calls Wooden Park, which is probably H's most b'loved park in the world. We played Obby Course, we swung on the swings, and then we went on the dreaded tire swing. First, H and Z went on it, and I pushed them. Then, Z got on, and H twirled him till Z did his scared cry. Then, I got on, and H twirled me, but Z didn't get out of the way, and my feet were sticking out, so his big old head got kicked by me. H was like, "Z!!!!!! I told you to get out of the wayyy!" Then it was time to go.

    It's really scary when H's angry, so watch out. He can dig his never-clipped nails into your skin and make you have flat, painful-peel scabs.

When we got home, JS was bathing. It was nine or ten AM, and we were going to the soup kitchen at eleven, so we had to get ready. After we were ready, John and me, we went to the kitchen where H was eating a sandwich. He was sitting on the counter greedily eating a PB & B sandwich.

    We brought the plate of sanwiches in the van and devoured them to death. Then we got to the soup kitchen. Joycie was there, and bald ol' Nubby, and I think Dr. Iqb was there too, I don't know. He was like, "Ohh, the whole family's here! That's nice!"

    So First, we badly made ham sanwiches, and then we wrapped them up. We were working with a girl named Kym. She and mom became the best of friends. Then we served the people. I was assigned corn, but then changed to Tray person by mean ole' Beck. I didn't like it, so mom switched with me.

    S did dessert, and H did watermelon. I did the sandwiches. And just how plain sad is that?

    After all that, the animal shelter person, Jn, was supposed to pick us up at 1 o'clock. We saw her through the window. S said bye to Kym and then we ran out.

    Jn said, "Wow, you guys do a lot of volunteering! I mean, this soup kitchen, the quilts, and the animals..."

     Jn's friend Glo was there too, apparently. Unfortunately.

    There was an open house at the animal shelter (which I'll just call SHAS now), so there was a cookout, sodas, and cookies. Plus more dessert. Oh, and fruits. Including STRAWBERRIES. YUM.

    We (Jn, S, Glo, and me) looked at a few dogs, and Glo and Jn talked to some people, which was apparently very boring and made my feet hurt because I had to stand there in my orthotics which is painful. Then we went to go see the cats. There were some nice new ones, and they were all shy and nice.

    Then went to a hut outside of the cattery, which contained the kittens. When it was finally our turn to go in, we went in (obviously) but Jn didn't wanna go in because she couldn't see no nothing.  So we were left in there with a staff and Glo.

    The kittens weren't quite kittens, they were like teenagers or something. The two boys were gray tabbies, and the girl was black. S and I went in there and petted them till they died. The girl wasn't very active, though, and she was kinda wild.

    We finally left that place and went back to the front to eat some. Then we left.

    There's this thingy, that you have to collect cans to save the animals or something. Always after Jn takes us to SHAS, she takes us can scouting. A lot of people in my location drink Bud Light, apparently.

    Jn gave us snacks and healthy soda. Lemon Lime Blue Sky Soda, cookies, Health Bar, Annie's Bunny Cheddar Cheese Crackers, and something else that I forgot.

   Glo talked too much and says she saw a can, and sounded disappointed when Jn said, 'No' or 'It's too far away'. They FOUGHT. When they both left the car, me and S remained, and I said, "Oh my God." And S said, "I know right? Old woman fight!" And then she laughed nervously.

    We finally were done scouting and Jn sent us home. Rudely.

~THE INTERFACE~

    I hate the new Blogger interface. It's messy and not neat, even if those two mean the same thing. It's all hideously white and orange, and hideous. It's so unorganized that I even forgot to to put labels on a post because I didn't know where they were. I mean, seriously, bro.

    What were you expecting this story to be about? Seriously. It's barely even a story, because I think I'll end it right now.

    Bye. See ya later.

Yay! It's My Birthday Today!

Today is October 1st, and today I am the age that is equal to 7 x 2. I am in a hotel right now in Oklahoma City. We started traveling on Friday, September 28 and went to Dallas, TX for a class by Omar Suleiman. The class was called Behind the Scenes. We got there for free Friday. Only me, H, and Abi were taking it, because apparently S had to study for her class or something, and Ummi was too busy with her class. So apparently some people have a lot of classes going on here.

Anyway, the class was kinda boring but Omar Suleiman made a lot of jokes at least. H and I drew a lot in our books, which made Abi scream, but at least some of the drawings were relevant. On Sunday, which was the last day of class, we left. We left right after the class ended. Well, we left after we had our last pee. Oklahoma was three hours away, which is quite surprising.

After the long, terrible three hours in the van, we got there. Our hotel was called Sheraton. We have to go to OK City (it isn't really okay at all) because Abi has a conference there. While waiting in the van for Abi to get our room, we saw some weird people out the back window. I saw a smelly kid peering into the hotel, and there were some weird dancing people. Somebody took the keys of a woman's car and drove it into the parking garage.

The beds are white and the bathroom is white, and the sink is too high. There is orange shampoo, yellow conditioner, yellow bar soaps, and white lotion. Very descriptive, right? Yes, well, anyway, I must tell you how my birthday went.

At somewhere around 3:00, we left the hotel. We had to be back at 4:00 because of Abi's conference. We went on a water taxi, and the tupA' water taxi driver asked the passengers if they had an October birthday today. Ummi stared at me meaningfully, but I don't like to talk muchly, so I remained silent. :D But a smelly person on the taxi named Angela had an October 1st birthday, so good for her. When we went under a bridge, the driver tupA'ly sang the birthday song along with the other tupA' passengers.

"Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy BIRTHday, undear unangelic Angela,
HAPPY birthday TO YOOOUU!"

After the tupA' taxi ride, we went to a souvenir shop. I bought some earrings for me, myself and I. And S too. S got lame ol' silver butterfly ones, and I got big, dangly blue and purple ones with a silver star on each. Then we went to peachwave, a frozen yogurt place. There was a thingy for that if it was your birthday today, you got to get a 16oz cup of frozen yogurt for free. And the weight didn't matter. So isn't that great? Yeah, so S and H told me to get a lot of frozen yogurt since it was free and all. I got what I thought was enough, but they told me to get more, so I hesitantly did. And then, I got loads of toppings. I got strawberries, white chocolate chips, Rolo candy, Skittles, rainbow sprinkles, and strawberry sauce. How good does that sound?!

Anyway, here's where something really eventful happened. They (mom, dad, S, H, and Z) left me in that place to finish off, (and who told me to get a lot?!) and I left the gift bag with the earrings in it in there! We were already walking back to the hotel when I suddenly remembered. So I gasped loudly and everybody stared at me oddly. Well, John and H did. So I told them the problem, and then John told mom, and then dad walked back to that place with me to get it.

So yeah, that's how my birthday went. Mom was playing Montezuma (a game like Bejeweled) on the iPad, and H and Z were playing with her, and then suddenly, mom lashed out at H because he was being annoying.

"Ahh, go a-WAY lah! I'm gonna play by myself. You're not helping!" :D

Then me, Z, and H surrounded mom helped her, but she didn't appreciate it. She said, "Okay, you all be VERY quiet. And don't mention any colors or you will distract me! GOH!"

So we tried to be quiet, but somehow H managed to say something, so the punishment was that mom played another one. But we all couldn't help ourselves, so mom played another one. We managed to
stay quiet and finally it was Z's turn. Then it was my turn, and then H 's. He didn't play Montezuma, though. He played Jetpack Joyride and Fruit Ninja.

Oh yes. When it was my turn, mom chased H and JS around the hotel room with her spit. Mom - a human goat? Correct.

A few hours later, dad came back for his conference, and then Maghrib came, and dinner, and now I'm on one of the white beds typing this post on the iPad.

My Smoothie

Apparently mom took pictures of my best pink smoothie, sooo...

This is the ONLY picture though, so stop crying. Oh and also, I made another pink smoothie last night, and I was planning to add my secret ingredient but I didn't want mom to see it. The secret ingredient was chocolate ice cream, because raspberries go great with chocolate. In my opinion, of course.

Oh & BTW, Joycie called this morning @ like 6am and told us to look @ the rainbow outside. So we did, and mom took pictures of the rainbow & told us to get Z because he 'likes' rainbows. So S had to go in the house & wake Z up. Z was apparently still sleepy & smelly. Mom was like, "Look, Z! Rainbow! Rainbow! *fake gasp* Haaa, rainbow, Z!" Then S said we could look at it better in the front yard, so we went.

This is it in the backyard. There was a light rain coming down for some reason.

Joycie said there were double rainbows, so we tried to find it. Then mom finally found it. It was faint. Mom said Z likes rainbows but then S said now he's gonna hate them forever. LOL.

This is it in the front yard, and if you look closely you can see the double rainbow.

Then after Ummi was done looking at the rainbows she took like a hundred pictures of the plants. Literally.

My tomato plant now has 19 small green tomatoes growing on it. I broke off all the yellow leaves.

My BEST t'mato plant.

Unwrapped in a Smoothie Dilemma

Yesterday while we were waiting for Maghrib, me and Z watched Sweet Secrets Unwrapped with Marc Summers. We took turns listening to it with the headphones because the loudspeakers don't work. Then S came along. *SCREAM* We watched all the sweet secrets and then S wanted to watch Paula Deen. Paula doesn't have a deen.
H cut chunks of cheese for us to break our fast with. Mom had told me to make smoothies, and that's when the dilemma began.

~The Smoothie Dilemma~

Ummi told me to make smoothies so I did. I got raspberries and strawberries from the chest freezer in the garage. I got the blender out and everything. Ummi said I had to make Z's first. So then I piled the berries in the blender and then started pouring in the soy milk. But, the getah couldn't be found, so the milk spilt everywhere. *SCREAM*

***A few minutes later after calling Ummi from her exercising***

"Ayyayyaaa..." says mom.

"The rubber thing is gone." I say.

"Alamak..." says mom.

"Abi likes to take all the parts away," continues mom.

"Well..." says me.

(Mom opens a drawer and finds a different kind of blender, a hand blender.)

"Haa, use this," says mom. "It's a hand blender."

(I silently sigh with relief and pour the berry+soymilk mess into the cup, and then mom hand-blends it up. It turns into a nice pink glob of gluten free smoothie.)

"Haa, get a cup lah!" says mom.

(About to get a cup until - )

"Eh, actually I thought you were going to add his yogurt?" says mom.

"Emm..no," I say.

"Eh, letak lah!" she insists.

"M'kay."

(I open the fridge and get out his nasty soy yogurt. I take a spoon and spoon it in. Then mom blends it some more, and now it is finally done.)

"Haa, pour it into a cup and give it to Z," says mom.

(I pour it into a tall green cup and place @ Z's place @ the dining table.)

"Haa, Z! Your smoothie! Go get a straw!" says mom.

(Z goes 'n' gets a straw, and I start making our smoothie.)

(I pour more berries in the cup and blend it. I add our yogurt. Then it is done. Another pink glob. It's really globby and doesn't slide a bit when I attempt to pour it in a cup. So I take a spoon and spoon it in. Then I try to slurp it up, but the globbiness makes an effect on me trying to drink it. It is not very sweet, but good enough.)

(H drinks the smoothie and I think he sorta kinda likes it but he insists on adding sugar next time.)

That is the end of the smoothie dilemma story. I am going to try and make another smoothie today, this time with a little sugar. Oh, and I forgot the flaxseed.

No Such Luck

Today S and I got picked up to go to the Farmers' Market. We were gonna sell bracelets and bandannas. So we did. It was for the Humane Society. The girls from the Boys and Girls Club came. People passed by our booth and the girls said, "Hello we're sponsors for the Boys and Girls club and the Humane society." And they we're like, "Oh." Then they walked away rudely. We didn't make very good business, but in the end we made $23. And the week before when they sold, they made $49, so in all that's $82. I bought a snow cone for myself and S. Rainbow flavored. Then when we were packing up to go, i got to take a bandanna for myself and S took one too. Then we went home and played with H's tupA' friend. They're out swimming right now.

N

Play Party!

The performance today was amazing. So the first play went on, and my only part in it was to pour a box of tin cans over a cardboard 'closet door' to make a 'monumental crash'. My part in the other play was being H's cousin. H's name in the play was Simon. My mom did take videos and pictures, but I don't think it would be safe to post them here.
After the two plays, there was an awards ceremony. First, a boy got his certificate. Then it was my and H's turn! H got the Mr. Engineer Award, and I got the Right Hand Gal Award.
Then, we left the theatre and went to the clinic to present our projects. Ours (H, me, and another kid) was an animation on division, as I mentioned in the previous post.
After everything happened, we went to the big room and got cupcakes with fancy rainbow frosting. There was also red and orange punch.
Then, it was time to go.

Now Camp is Really Extinct!

Today was the last day of camp. We ate our cookies for snack today. H and I couldn't eat the cookies he and the other group made, because they had vanilla. So I just ate mine. It was so crunchy. The roof of my mouth hurt.

Here are the games I have played in camp so far (Might not be all, I forgot some of the names):

Who Started the Motion?

Making Rain

Barnyard Animals

Sound Motion

I Have a Watch

Whisper Shaft

Duck, Duck, Question Mark

Simon Says

Sharks and Minnows

Lemonade

Machines
One Word Story
The Prince of Paris
The Name Game

And that's all I remember...there was a lot more, I'm sure...

Tomorrow will be the play. We are presenting plays based on the books Noisy Nora and The Doorbell Rang. Then me, H, and another kid will be presenting our animation on division.
Then there will be cake and an awards ceremony. Yay!

It will be from 12:30 to 1:35, supposedly.

Tell you what happens tomorrow,
N

Camp is Extinct!

Tomorrow is the last day of camp. The play is on Thursday.
Tomorrow we get to eat the cookies we made today (they're called Bird's Nest Cookies (I'm in the Bird's Nest group)).
Today I played a game called Apples to Apples with my group. It was so funny, dude!
We have to finish our animation on division with our group.

Annnd....

Yeah. No footnotes today. Sorry.

PS: Alah! I have grrroop!

Hiking

On Sunday I went hiking up a mountain. It was a Girls' Club event, and there were six girls (including me and Skina) and two adults. We went into a hermit's cave, which was nice and cool compared to the outside weather. At one moment all the girls decided to hide from the adults, so we hid in a nice chair-like part of the mountain. I ate a granola bar. Climbing down the mountain was pretty steep, and one time I fell. I was holding a thin tree branch, and you can guess it broke. I fell and smashed my face into some rocks and plant junk. (Don't worry, I'm okay!) My left leg hurt slightly for a while. When we finally got to the bottom, at the parking lot, we ate. I ate two cheese sandwiches, pineapple chunks, a banana, and something else that was really good, I can't remember what. Then we went to a girl's house to see her new baby sister. We ate pizza. We played soccer, and twice the ball got kicked over into the neighbor's yard.

Albuquerque and Balloon Fiesta

Yesterday, which was my birthday, I came back from Albuquerque. The yearly Balloon Fiesta was yesterday! We watched hot air balloons fly in the air. There was bad traffic while we were trying to get there. We had to pray Fajr in the van. We ate cheese bread sticks. At 6am about, we saw the balloons released already. We counted eleven. The weather was awfully cold. When we finally got to the parking space, we opened the van door, and cold air blew in. My feet felt dead. Especially since I wasn't wearing socks. Anyhow, we watched balloons blow up and get in the air. Some balloons looked like bees. There was a clown balloon and a haunted house balloon that couldn't get up, and they fell down. After that we went to the fair and played some games. H and I threw darts at balloons, but we only popped one. H and Z got dog toys. No, not dog toys, dog soft toys. Well, it was kind of a mix-up between a kangaroo and a dog, because it had a short tail and big ears. So it was probably a Chihuahua. We went to the Balloon Museum and explored the boringness of air and flight and whatsoever. Then, when we were about to leave, we decided to go to the gift shop. Our dad gave us twenty dollars each. I bought a pendant.
After that we went to the masjid and Yasmine's Cafe.
Then we went to the Talin Chinese store and got JELLY!!!

Newr

Picnic!

On Saturday the masjid held a picnic at the park. There was a jumping balloon. One looked like a dog and one looked like Spongebob. There was chicken, salad, donuts, cupcakes, and lots of other yum-headed things. I rollerbladed with Skina and our friends. There was ice cream. I had an ice cream sandwich and a popsicle. I was quite sweaty. But it was fun and we left at about 5 o clock.

Blackouts and BM's

Last night there was a rainstorm, a bad one, so bad it gave us a blackout. Before the blackout though, we were eating dinner. Thunder rolled...and then at a point when we were eating calmly, CREACKKK!!! The lightning and thunder cracked so loud that Skina's eyes widened, and H put his head down but looked up. I made a face at them that said, Are you scared? Very funny.

And today my brother Z pooped in his underwear, a very stinky moment.

Today H made donuts and my mom made cream puffs! Yumm!

Newr

Friday and Saturday Plans

This Friday we're going to the masjid for a bake sale provided by a Muslim Girls' Club. (For more info about the club, please go to muslimaatrus.blogspot.com.) H is selling at the men's side, and Skina, I, and some other people are selling at the womens' side. The proceeds go to Muslims Without Borders or Islamic Relief.
My mom's friend is going to have a baby, so we're planning a baby surprise for her. We're making...a DIAPER cake. *Gag* Some girls are coming to our house to make it. But at the masjid there's also a picnic...sadly I can't go because of the girly diaper cake.
So today my mom is making pandan chiffon cake. I think she's making a red one too, with sirap. And on Monday and Tuesday, she made Chocolate Lemon Biscotti. H is making donuts and malawah.
Skina made a banner for the men's table, I made one for the women's.
Might put pictures up.

Gattitown

Today I went to Gattitown, the arcade I told you about in the previous post! I rode the Go-Karts which were extremely fun except I crashed into some daft people. My dad rode with my little bro and he won! I say again, those Go-Karts were so fun but NOT the bomb!!

I also played this bowling game called Ice Ball. While I was playing it though this old man that looked like a hobo talked to me in a weird language. It was also very loud in there so I couldn't hear him. (Gladly.) I saw him later in the praying room. I was like, "What? He's Muslim?"

Then I played a game that gives you tickets and I hit the jackpot!! I got 100 tickets. I played basketball, and a game in the kids' place where a frog has to knock down bugs with its tongue. It was so easy and I got lots of tickets.

We ate lunch. I ate pizza, mac and cheese, two brownies, and a cinnamon bun. Drinks, pink lemonade and, um, fruit punch.

There was the athan going on too. Awesome, you know. It's unusual. So we prayed Dhuhr and then we had to hurry up and play games because our cards expired at 2:00. So yeah.

We fed our tickets to the machine which got jammed pretty much a lot. So a fixing man had to fix it. (Obviously!) Then we counted our tickets on the printed receipt so we could get prizes.

I got a pencil, an airplane, a glow-in-the-dark slinky, a squishy, spiky pink ball, a paddle game, and shades. I can't wear them though because they get in the way of my glasses. There was also a furry lamp that I really wanted but we didn't have enough tickets.

We ate and drank again and left.

Unfortunately, I found some forgotten tickets in my pocket when we got home.

Tomato Sandwiches and Ice Cream

Tomato sandwiches are so good! I found out how to make them after reading Harriet the Spy. Bread, tomatoes, and mayonnaise.
I also had mint chocolate chip ice cream. It's so good too!!! But it's not my favorite. My favorite ice creams are cookies n cream, fried ice cream, chocolate kind of, strawberry kind of, Neapolitan kind of, umm, what else eh...that's it I guess. I like Popsicles and ice cream sandwiches.
And banana splits!
