Nadira's 1st experience @ Globalart

well, i was always wanted to send nadira to the globalart class. but last time in Labuan, i wasn't sure if she capable was enough. Globalart Labuan was located @ 2 lot of shops, 1st floor Financial Park. and i was very sure it'll be hard since i'm working 24/7 during school days.. (only teachers know what i've meant 😜)

since it was a long school school break, she already good in reading, quite ok in writing except a little untidy that was the same with her colouring. 

was surveying on 2 of Globalart in KK. 1 was from City Mall & another from Likas (Chan Yai Villa - next to Petronas Pump Station). the differences :

Globalart City Mall - new (just open), a kids store (more of product selling & just 1-unit of class), good attraction. but a little pricey rm260 for 10 lessons, basic art stuff (rm140), complete art stuff (rm240) and it was hard to find a carpark.

Globalart Likas - kind of old building but the interior is still a nice place to learn, they have 3 units of class here. 2 for abacus mental arithmetic & 1 for globalart. rm230 for 10 lessons / rm340 for 15 lessons, basic art stuff (rm100 - i  wasn't sure if it's the same set as in City Mall), while the complete art stuff (i wasn't also sure for the price). they have parking area for residents there (but it kind of available during office hours).

since there is 1 extra page, her teacher, Mrs. Monica had asked her to do it @ home (so on the december 16th, nadira do the colouring with my guidance. yes, i do learnt few tips of colouring & clay artwork from her teacher too😊)

actually we did it together😁

9th lesson (17/12) :

last lesson, the 10th (19/11) :

hopefully she can attend more of globalart in the future.. either for the whole year or during school holiday😁 insyaAllah😊

Arissa Nathifa's playing @ the Toybox

during nadira's 4th lesson @ Globalart, Likas, arissa and i went to ToyBox which is opposite to Sabah Trade Centre building. it was fulled of lots of toys for babies & toddlers.

they open from 10.30am until 5.30pm as i've remembered. they also charge rm10 per entrance for 2 hours and during rm12 weekend. o ya, only kids being charge not the parents!😁


it was also a clean & hygienic place to play. you need to prepare socks to enter, both kid & parent. they're also selling socks, some drinks & snack if you don't have any socks or just feeling thirsthy or hungry😊  

here are pictures of arissa's playing here : 

she really loved riding this car😄 huhu.. maybe i should buy her a tricycle or a car similar like this😜 💰💸


she also being adorable when playing the 'masak-masak'.. she even cook more for for me to eat together with her.. how sweet😊 


arissa's playing selling @ the veges & fruits stall🍎🍊🍋🍉😋

she loved playing with the golf ball too.. i think this kind of toy is a must for every kid⛳️

she'd also played @ the doctor's workstation😋💉 mm.. i've imagined this as mini Kidzania 😉 surely to bring the girls to Kidzania once arissa is 4 year old.. they'll be enjoying their time there!😄



arissa was playing 'orang-orang'😊


babies' area.. complete lots of toys with cartoon showing @ the tv..

it was a good idea of their effort to clean the kids' hands with sanitizer and checking their temperature before allowing any entrance. but i think they should do to the parents too, at list check the parent's temperature.

i was also thinking that they should have more space @ the shoe rack, not forgetting shelves for visitors's bag. 

hubby said it was a very nice idea to open hot-spot like this in Labuan, but i've said that it needs high cost for lots of toys not forgetting the rent fee.. it has given me about the idea working with small kids around is stress-free rather than big kids😅 you can baby-sit your own child while other's child playing around your child😊 nursery? no thanks😜

p/s - will share nadira's experience @ her globalart lessons as soon as she completes them. still need to bring her to Toybox too before she'll be 6 years old next year.. well, it's about 2 more weeks before we're going home to Labuan😊
