London Spring Term Holiday: Day 1

In the spring term holidays (which were 2 weeks long), my family and I went to London for 4 days and 3 nights. The reason why we went to London, is to make my baby sister Aila's passport because we are going to Malaysia 🇲🇾 in the summer holidays.
Instead of travelling for 4 hours straight, we decided stop in Birmingham, which is approximately at the halfway point in our journey. 
We set off in the morning on Wednesday 12th April and we drove 2hrs and 18mins to Birmingham. It was quite a long journey so I slept for most of it 😴.
I also forgot to mention that I was fasting during the holidays as it was Ramadan (the month of fast for Muslims).
Ramadan is a special time for Muslims, we fast from sunrise until sunset and we do a lot of good deeds as they are worth more in this special month. We also do a special Ramadan night prayer called Taraweeh after our 5th daily prayer.
When we arrived at Birmingham, we went to the Bullring Mall where we found some nice treats to buy for breaking our fast tonight. We got some baklava, and Turkish delights in different flavours (my favourite ones were orange, the strawberry one was a bit confusing, it tasted like rose with a hint of something else that was SUPER perfumey). 
After that, we resumed our journey to London...

Once we arrived, we were found our apartment that were staying in and it was on top of Tesco! Wow! We also found one of my favourite drinks in another shop nearby 😍.

We had a lovely iftar (the meal when you break your fast) and we watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Stay tuned for more updates!
(I forgot to take pictures on the day so apologies for that 😅)

Pizza Pizza

Today, my mum suggested my sister and I make 3 mini pizzas for lunch. She also asked my brother to make brownies with her. We all woke up and opened our home school (I knew that I would have a lot of fun today because we had so much fun yesterday).  I decided to draw a greyscale (black and white), shaded picture of my blue, metallic hydroflask. I think it looks very realistic. Share what you think of my drawing in the comments. After that, my sister and I made the pizzas. Me with my drawing. I had to be very careful with the shading and I really did not want a single line out of place because I want it to look neat. I also put the shadow of my bottle to make it look even more realistic.

Birthday time!!!

Image
Yesterday was my birthday and I had a lot of fun. Two nights before my birthday, my family made a surprise cinema outside: watching the movie of my choice. I chose Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because it is my favourite Harry Potter book and it includes a time turner - which is one of my favourite magical objects in the world. Halfway through the movie, we all were absolutely freezing cold so we carried in watching it inside. We also ate my homemade birthday cake which was a tiramisu coffee cake (it was delicious, in my opinion, although I slightly wished that there was a bit more coffee). On the day of my birthday, I played the game of riddles with my Grandma, uncles, aunties and cousins that is on the other side of the world - Malaysia. My sister and I were one team and we were second overall. my cousin was first place. Here is one of the examples of one of the riddles. Question: What is more useful broken? Answer: Eggs. Our cinematic experience in our garden. M...
