At the end of our summer holiday, we made a
stopover on
Langkawi for a beach holiday. We made a
trip to a tropical reef, where the others went snorkeling and scuba diving.
My mother and me stayed closer to the beach, to feed the fish. I even saw
black tip sharks! As my armbands were not good enough for swimming in the
sea, they gave me a life vest. There were many Japanese on the boat, who
could not swim, so the boat had enough in stock. The size was a little too
large for me but my mother tied me up like a sausage. |

When we came home, there was another surprise:
our dog Laska was pregnant. She had taken her chances when we were not there
and now look at the results. Within 4 weeks, the puppies were born, four
tiny little sweet things. I wanted to keep all of them, but my mother said
they would not remain small forever and anyway, one dog and 4 kids was
enough. But the first two months I played with them the whole day.
A cultural event was organized by the Dutch School and I was also invited.
My brothers and sister where in the organizing team, they played a puppet
show, with a dragon, who turned out to be an orange duck. I had lots of fun! |

Then it was again time for holiday. This time we
went to
Bali. We did such a lot there! We went to
the tree top adventure park. The tree tops were too high for me, which
really spoilt my mood in the beginning. But then I found lots of Indonesian
families, and in no time I started playing around with them. I made scary
sounds and pulled faces, and they all run away from me, so I started chasing
them around the playground. We had a lot of fun.
Everywhere in Bali you see interesting statues, which you can climb on or
imitate. All hotels had a swimming pool and most of them were close to the
beach, so I was in the water most of the time. And I loved the food: so much
rice, it is almost like
Bangladesh! So
while my family members were ordering complicated things like nasi campur
and gado gado, I stuck to my nasi putih. |

In November, there was political unrest in
Dhaka, because the elections are coming and
a caretaker government is taking over. Therefore, policemen and RAB are
stationed all over the city. The RAM men are very impressive, all angry
looking men with black head scarves. The black head scarf in this case was
supplied by Karmela, the face was supplied by me. |
