Our 1st visit to the library...
Had been planning to bring the kids to the library all these while but there are always sumthing that has stopped our plan......Well, eventhough the kids had their own mini library at school but they have not experience to go to the "real" library yet..

Last Saturday hubby woke up & first thing he told me.."Mari pigi lai-fai-bre-fre-ri-fi" (if you don't know what's that means..it means "Library" in "F" language ;)))..he says that cuz he doesn't want the kids to understand on what he says or else it will excite them awal2x...

Daddy only told them after they had took their bath...wah semua pun excited...Told Andrea to bring her homework along and she immediately packed her bag..and Andrew..tidak mau kalah juga...so he just brought his bag without anything inside [-)...

Not so sure which library to go (ada di Dongongon, Jalan Tasik & KK)...so just told hubs to go to the one in Jalan Tasik since it's new & i've been there few months back during our work visit. So off to Library Jalan Tasik we went...

Since its their first visit to the library, so took their "gambar kenangan" infront of the Jalan Tasik Library :D....

Andrea muka excited..err..Andrew (wearing dad's fav shirt) muka blurr??

So when we got inside, the environment was too quite (luckily we had warned the kids to be quite & behave themselves)....Andrea wanted to do her homework but could not find a suitable place for her to sit.....Both hubs & i were trying to search for kiddies book but couldn't find one...the only thing that we can see are magazines & computers...Being curious myself, went & ask the guy at the counter and he told me.."lama suda tu bahagian kanak2x kana pindah pigi KK library"...oooo..ok..now i know..since no children section here so thought that the kids at least could play the computers (tidak juga sia2x kan) so went to the counter once again kunun wanted to pay for the internet access but was so dissapointed (again) when the guy told me that only those with membership card could have the access for RM1/hour....I had lost my membership card few years ago and so wanted to apply for my kids BUT they could not process since I did not bring their birth cert..mana la sia tau kan!!...aduii...(double the dissapointment :(:()...Told the kids just to go back since nothing they can do there...itu pun suda start lari2x sana sini....both of them gave us the "sad" look and said "Still want to go to library!!"..

Doesn't want to dissapoint them..so hubs drove us to KK Library....can see the kids smiling face again :D/....when we got inside there..wow..this is the rite place for kids..the environment memang ngam la...!!! No one care if your kids are jumping or running around....as long as they did not shout or make loud noice and that's ok...Both Andrea & Andrew were enjoying themselves and see what they've learned from their visit:-

A place where you can sit and do your homework.

A place where you can find plenty of interesting & colourful books in many shapes & sizes..

From stories book to children's encyclopedia. (Andrew is looking at the insect's encyclopedia)

A place where you could relax, chill out and stretch your legs..

And finally....

A new place for Andrew to run and jump 8-}...

Will definately gonna visit this place again...At least now Andrea is motivated to read..those colourful and interesting books must have inspired her a lot :)...Well, to wraps up my entry for today..here's Andrea teaching her adik to read...and it only lasted for 1 minute 22 seconds???

    Yone, you know what, I spent quite a lot of my kiddy time in the library previously. My parents will send us kids to the library after school almost everyday. After school we go home for lunch, then off to the library. Mom and Dad will pick us up after work :) Some of the staff remembered me coz they told me when I used to work there hehehe...anyway, I learnt to enjoy reading since then :) So say YES to the library! I would definately bring my Ethan there once he is bigger. I always said, library was once my babysitter too ;p

    BTW, there's story telling or drawing/coloring sessions for kids in the library tu..find out from the staff at the counter...am sure the kids would enjoy tht too..normally on saturdays if not mistaken :)
