I love our apartment. There are lots of buildings around if you look outside on our deck. It's very fun too since it's like you're going to fall right down but you aren't. There is a building that is just getting built right next to us and a little bit far away, but I'm looking at it right now. It has lights on two cranes sticking up. There are three lights on each crane.

In the morning today, I went to the pool first. I swam underwater from side to side. It is very fun. We have a humongous pool and a water slide. The slide gets boring, though, after a while. After that we hung out in the house for a bit. Nanny and Papa skyped us and showed us their new kitchen. They have to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner down in the basement now. Then Boom Boom turned on some music and we all rested.

Today is Malaysia's Birthday, so we did not have school today. I felt great to know that we didn't have school. It wasn't so fun in the morning because I had lots of problems with my annoying little brother.

We went to Lake Gardens in Kuala Lumpur today. We played in the playground and while I was pushing Boom on the swing, a girl said "A dark cloud, it's going to rain." So, I told my Mom and Dad. My Dad was resting on the bench. When Daddy was about to get up, the thunder came. It was big loud thunder. Then Mommy and Daddy talked a little. Mommy said we're going to the Deer Park. Then it started to rain. We started to walk down. I saw a mouse deer and another mouse deer and another mouse deer. We saw shelter up ahead and went under it away from the rain, then I smelled big deer poop.
.
I saw a little baby deer. It was running all around. 10 deers were under the shelter. They don't want to get wet, that's why. We went to the National Mosque. I took some pictures of it with my camera. Then we walked back towards Chinatown. There were lots of people with big carts around. Purses. People riding motorcycle with ice cream on the back. It was tough getting around without getting lost at least once but I was lucky, I didn't get lost. Then we got some dinner. Mine was really good, rice and chicken.

Then I went home on the subway. We stopped at Ampang Park stop, near our house. Then we went and bought me a Hari Raya outfit for the Malaysian Muslim holiday at school. Then I saw a "Tuck Shop" and it reminded me of the Tuck family! In the Tuck family, there is Spencer, Caroline, Graeme, Courtney, and Matthew.

I took a picture of Boom Boom's shoes too. He just got them. They are flip flops. His pinky toe is hanging off. I told him that when he bought them. But he said, "I want those shoes still!"

I went up a long path to the Acropolis in Athens. It was super hot. I saw the Athena Temple. It was right over us when we walked up the steps to the Acropolis. It was big city where they prayed a lot. Inside the Athena Temple, there is a really tall, really big statue of Athena, but I didn't see it because the temple was broken down a little.

I took a picture of the Acropolis on the cover of a book, then I took a picture of the real Acropolis.

We went to the Epidavaros Theater. I climbed to the top of the steps. It was very hot and hard and super tall too. If you dropped a coin down at the bottom, you could hear it all the way at the top.

I went to the island of Paros with Isaac, Theo, Max, Tina, and Bruce, Mommy, Daddy, Boom Boom, Griffin. We went to a beautiful beach with lots of rocks that I could climb on. I climbed up and had a beautiful view of the ocean. It was very fun and I jumped in from the rocks. The hike up the mountain was very fun but there was lots of mountain goat poop along the way. We went down to a small cave where there were piles and piles of dry goat poop. Griffin picked one up and said it was super dry but it was the stinkiest stink bomb in the world. We saw another little pile of rocks that was very tall and had a great view of the ocean. I climbed there and ran and jumped and played on the rocks. We tried to see who could get to the rocks first. I won. Mommy and Daddy said I was a mountain goat. I got up to the top. It was a super good view. I saw all the boats and the blue sky. Isaac said "This is a really good view. I wish I was down there at the water though, this is super hot" Then I went to ask my Dad for some water.

The island in Paros, we had a humongous water park. It was super big and I went on the slides. They made the slides scary but they really weren't. It wasn't so fun sliding down the inside of them because I told you they look scary but they really aren't scary. You go super slow and you have to push with your arms and legs to go fast. I saw a black slide but I didn't go on it. It goes into the ocean. I was too scared and Mommy tried to make me but I said "No!"

I liked to pet the horse. I saw a baby cat that was only two months old. It was so small that when it walked, it wobbled a little. I rode the horse last, of all the cousins. It was very fun to bounce up and down on the horse and hug it.

Love, Alice
