England, Spring Term and more!

15-4-2015

So, I know the last post was in December, and now it is April, but I have been busy. Here is what I have been doing:

January:

In January we received some very sad news about my Great Grandmother. She was dying. Two days after a Skype call with my Grandmother, my dad had some very exciting news. We packed our warmest clothes and phones and books and things because we were finally, after seven years, going to England! I was over the moon excited and it was a surprise visit, no one knew we were coming! 

It wasn't a straight there flight, we flew to Amsterdam and stopped there for a few hours before continuing to Manchester. 

When we got there it was freezing (and very early). We did all the bag control, money exchange and what not before getting our super, super small, red rental car. We stuffed our bags inside as well as ourselves and headed to my Aunts house. We made snowmen and had snowball fights, and sled races and had an awesome time. We  fed chickens as well. But I really enjoyed meeting my new baby cousin Freddy! He was born in November 2014, and he is SO SO SO cute. We kind of did a tour around England thing, because we visited my parents of friends, my mums dad and his parents (who are 92) and her aunts and uncle. We also did some shopping and I bought a R2-D2 bag. I also enjoyed going to 'The Kop' (Liverpool's stadium) and I bought a Liverpool jacket, which is SUPER comfy. 

We stayed in England for eight days and then got up at 2 o'clock in the mourning to give back our car and get ready to fly back to Qatar. (We left just in time because my Aunt said at around 4 in the mourning there was a snow storm! Phew!

March

On March 3rd 2015 my family went to see Ed Sheeren (one of my favourite singers) live. It was AWESOME! Honestly, he was amazing. He didn't just sing his songs either, he sang some big hits too. He even did a mash up song with Fancy (Fancy: Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX). I had loads of fun!

On March 11th I had World War 2 Day. My and my classmates dressed up as evacuee's as a fun activity. We made sandwiches, played conkers, made paper hats, painted Union Jack onto banners and played hopscotch. It was super fun - I still have my conker, and it has no cracks!

On the same day (March 11th) my Great Aunt and Uncle came to visit us. We picked them up from the airport. They stayed with us for 17 days and left on the 28th. It was fun to see them. We went to the beach with them, went to some Art and Crafts stalls and got henna and went to City Center and had an awesome time. I think my cat Mouse liked them too! 

April

 Right now I'm on my spring break. I have been to the beach, to Doha and around and about. I go back to school in 4 days. I had a two week break. It is going to take some getting used to, the school schedule.

Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies

1-12-2014

Yay! Merry almost Christmas everyone! I hope you are as excited as I am! Christmas is my favourite holiday of the year! I love Christmas Eve, all the wonder of what your getting, with yummy Christmas dinner and awesome games and family. Even thinking about it makes me smile! Christmas brings everyone a little closer together. But Christmas is about giving not getting, kindness for kind, a present for a present, a card for a card and a smile for a smile!

So because my mum finished most of her work today she had some free time so she let me make cookies. I did it mostly by myself with a little help here and there though! We aren't in school yet so now we have time to get ready for the best days of the year; get my dad and other friends and family presents, put up the tree and make Happy Holiday cards!

My cookies started out as regular vegan dark chocolate chip cookies but ended up as super awesome sugary dark and white chocolate chip cookies with super sour dried cherries (my mums favourite). We usually add or change things in recipes since we get other cool ideas that need testing, and I am proud to say this one was a success! Happy Holidays!  ;)

The fox and the cat

6-11-2014

Hi! I have awesome news;

On the third of November my family came back from a trip from Doha, and guess what?! At the second or third roundabout we saw a dessert fox! It was small and had big ears with a triangle like stripes. But the most amazing thing about it was it's eyes, they were shiny and big and black and red, a little scary, but a lot awesome! 

Yesterday (the fourth of November) we went to Doha, and collected out new cat! He is a White Persian Angora Mix with a copper coloured eye and a ocean blue eye. He is so cute! He sat on my lap and stood on my stomach. I also said, "Hi Five!" to him and he brushed his head onto my hand! WHAT AN AWESOME CAT!!!!

Thanks for checking in!  :)

Yep, another one! :)

Hello! Today I am feeling a little ill, there are many reasons why; upset tummy, sore muscles, headache etc. So I am just chillin'. I have watched some videos on YouTube, played on our Wii and then checked facebook, gmail and more.

This is probably quite boring for you, so into the updates:

• My sister and I have still not started school, we don't know when we will be allowed to go to school but we all hope it will be soon
• During the Eid break for the school here, my family has seen our old friends; we went to Doha to see our old friends for when we stayed in Qatar 3 years ago, then the day after that we saw my dad's friends, sister's best friend and her family (we had loads of fun)

Thank you for checking in with my blog! I'll chat soon :)

Living In Dukhan

28-09-2014

Hello! Thank you for checking in with my blog; 'Smee's Bubbles'. Since I haven't updated my blog for a while now, I thought now would be a good time to do so. Lots has happened, so I have been quite busy with all the moving things to do like, adapting to a new house, getting used to my temporary bed, organising my room, making trips to Doha and more, I have sadly forgotten to update my blogs. 

We (my family) have lived in our new house in Dukhan for 4 weeks now, but sadly we (my sister and I) haven't started school yet. My Papa has started work, and all the other children in Dukhan are going to school as well, but my sister and I have to get ready before we start. We have had all our injections and our BCG's. I itch my BCG while I sleep. Opps. 

Well I am going to now have a shower and get breakfast now! My tummy is rumbling like crazy! Oh, BTW: our shipping is in Qatar, but not yet ready to stay in our house. So hopefully we can collect it soon!

Thank you for visiting my blog! Please comment, share and subscribe. Thanks :)

A new start!

26-8-2014

So our beautiful holiday in Tioman has ended and we have flew over to Doha, Qatar. Today is our second full day here and we are watching Batman Begins. 

Well, I need to get ready for breakfast now, bye :)

 

PS: I am at Wyndham Grand Regency in Doha, Qatar.

Jurong East Water Park

18-6-2014

Yesterday my dad, sister and I went to the 2 dollar water park! We came in threw the back entrance (the car park way - we don't have a car) and it was hard, but we found. We also had some trouble with the lockers - but again - we managed. Then we went and got tubes (or rubber rings, however it is for you) so we could go on slides. Guess what!!!!!! They shut down the wave pool and lazy river! The wave pool needed repairing or something so there was no water in it, but the river was fine just not moving (because they probably shut it down)! So basicly the only things open were the slides, kiddie waterfall and lap pool. We used the slides, which by the way were awesome! There are three slides. For two, you'll need tubes. The highest is the blue (tube needed) and middle is pink (tube needed). The yellow one (no tube needed is the lowest and fastest. We had an awesome time. After that we went to J-Cube and me and Mathilda got a subway then we went to westagate were Papa got some Indian food. Then we had a play in the top jungle gym before having a peanut butter stack and drink at Starbucks. Then we went home and had a swim before getting ready to go out for a pizza dinner! 

Tips:

• When you go on a tube needed slide you should kick the water so it wets the side of the walls so you don't get stuck

• Hold firmly on to your tube (I slipped of once when it got stuck and my friend had to push it down)

• Take a rash top if you have a hole in your swimsuit

• 1 tube is 5S$, a locker is 40 cents 

Thanks :)
