MHsN Science Fair 2016

The Malaysian Homeschooling Network Science Fair 2016 was held on 26 March (Saturday) from 11am-5pm at Bangsar Village 1.

It was our first time going to the science fair and I must say, I was impressed with the passion shown by the homeschooled kids!

They proudly showcased their science projects and eagerly explained about their projects and demonstrated experiments to the visitors, both adults and kids alike. 

The homeschooled kids even prepared homemade science kits which visitors could purchase and do their own science experiments at home.

The venue was buzzing with activities, especially when each booth (there were 20 booths in total) offered visitors interactive activities for them to try out.

It's awesome that homeschooled kids are given a platform not only to exhibit their projects but offered an avenue to hone their presentation skills and boost their confidence in public speaking and interacting with strangers.

Who says homeschooling isolates kids and that they don't socialise?

Lil' Tot is only 5 years old but to have her exposed to things like static electricity, conductivity, open and closed circuits, amongst others, were sure to pique her interest in science.

We look forward to attending the next science fair which is held annually and many more activities organised by the homeschooling network groups.

The Stroke Story: Day 7

We spent the entire day at the hospital.
The physiotherapist came twice for hubby to do some movements.
Hubby was also taken to do his CT scan.
After he was assessed by both his Cardiologist and Neurologist, he was given the green light to go home. 
He was discharged after 7pm.
He was given approximately 11 different types of medication to consume. 
The happiest piece of news all week. 
We finally got to bring Daddy home.

The Stroke Story: Day 6

9am: 
We headed out for breakfast and bought for Daddy too. 
We spent the entire day at the hospital since we were able to be with Daddy in the same room. 
We brought a mat for us to sit and perform our prayers. 
We brought some stuff for the kids, to keep them entertained.
Upon reaching hubby's room, we saw the Neurologist talking to him. 
He advised that they would be conducting a CT scan the following day just to make sure that everything was fine before he could be released. 
The recovery process would be much better if he was in a familiar environment, at home with the family.
I asked the Neurologist if hubby needed to go through a post-stroke rehab. 
Upon assessing hubby's condition, a rehab wasn't required.

10pm: 
Left the hospital after hubby took some pain killers and sleeping pills due to extreme headache.

10.30pm: 
Hubby messaged me - "Thanks for everything dear, from the bottom of my heart. Definitely lost without you." 

I cried myself to sleep.
