Anyway, here are some insect jokes you can tell your kids:

• What’s smaller than an ant’s mouth? An ant’s dinner!
• Where would you put an injured insect? In an antbulance!
• How do we know that insects are so clever? Because they always know when your eating outside!
• What do insects learn at school? Mothmatics!
• Why is it better to be a grasshopper than a cricket? Because grasshoppers can play cricket but crickets can’t play grasshopper!
• What is green and can jump a mile in a minute? A grasshopper with hiccups!
• What did one firefly say to the other? Got to glow now!

Below is a slideshow of Alphabet A to I. Will add more on daily basis.

Rimba Ilmu, a botanical garden, is situated in Universiti Malaya Kuala Lumpur, opens from 9am to 12pm; 2pm to 4.30pm on weekdays. Admission for adult is RM4 and children RM2. They also open on First Saturday from 9am to 12pm and offer guided tour to the garden. Closed on other weekends. Plants are labeled accordingly so that you know what are the species.

More information about Rimba Ilmu can be found here: Rimba Ilmu Botanic Garden or UMique Rimba Ilmu. Please refer to the map before going. My son and I were lost during the trip and we had to make two trips around the university area before we found two students sitting by a bus-stop and asked them for direction. By the time we reached Rimba Ilmu, it has been closed for lunch. My son and I went straight home as he is not the type to wait for two hours ^__^

Mum in Malaysia somehow can read my mind on what I’m going to post (have already illustrated this morning) for F page so I’m releasing it early!

I have been to Aquaria and it was fun looking at fish I never seen before. My son Yassin was a bit upset because his favourite Killer Whale is not there but overall he had a great time. I am hoping that the management will one day consider bringing in Killer Whale; even only just for a while. That will make Yassin the happiest person on earth!

Anyway, I am thinking of enrolling Yassin and my niece for Sleep Over at Aquaria. But then they both don’t meet the age criteria; Yassin is 6 and Wanda is 14. They only accept children age 10 – 12 years old. So if your children is around this age, go and enrol them in the program! It will be a great holiday fun!

Here’s a shark by Yassin:

Kid’s love eating out but sometimes we parents are out of clue where to bring them. I normally bring Yassin (sometimes my nieces and nephews and little cousins and mom) to Cozy Corner Ampang Park, Victoria Station Jalan Ampang, KLCC Food Court, Secret Recipe, KFC, McD, Chili’s any many more. But there are more places to go, just check out Hungry Go Where. You can browse by types of food, by location and by prices. There are variety of food choices to begin with: Malay food, Indian food, Chinese food, Western food and fast food!

My niece, Wanda is my biggest loyal follower when it comes to eating out!
