Many people keep searching for places where they can find new and exciting party favors/return gifts for birthday parties. I have seen some really nice party favors at HyperPanda at Festival City, Dubai. The Party Centre is also another spot to check out when planning to buy such gifts.

Entertainment and Activities

Outlet Mall has organised lots of shows and entertainment including the famous Ronald McDonald Show, a Modhesh Meet and Greet event with a chance to meet this lovable character and take personal photos with him, Tanoura Dance Group, Comic Dance Act, Plant Pot Juggling Show, The Funny Shopping Family, The Unicycle Parade, Puppet Show and Argentinean Gauchos Dance Group.

To keep your kids entertained and happy during the long summer, there will be 10 weeks of different themed-based activities which will be held from June 11 to August 19.

CIRCUS WORLD (11 -17 June)

An engaging show will be conducted by magicians who will perform a myriad of tricks for kids.  Also during this week there will be clowns showing the art of balloon shaping and tying.

SAND ART (18 – 24 June)

Take a bit of the beach home with you by crafting cool sand-filled bottles or sand paintings.  Kids will have great fun making these and will have a summer souvenir to take home with them. This activity allows children to become even more creative.

EGG SHELL PAINTING                       (25 June – 1 July)

Kids can get creative and paint their hearts out with egg shell painting. Egg painting is adored by kids and will keep them excited for hours.

PLATE ART (2 – 8 July)

Personal hand-made plates make great gifts! Plate art is an opportunity for your kids to get creative and it brings out the artist with-in.

HAND ART (9 – 15 July)

Your kids will be shown how to make a finger puppet creation using the simplest products.  Also during this week is a posh activity for ‘little princesses’ to learn nail art and how to paint different art effects on their nails.

BRAID A HANGER (16 – 22 July)

This activity will teach kids how to be smart and save Mother Earth, to recycle and re-use plastics. The resulting braided clothes hangers look attractive with the bonus that clothes won’t slip off!

CARNIVAL MASK (23 – 29 July)

Kids will use different materials, colours, glitz and glue to form the most glamorous carnival masks to transport them into a world of fantasy.

CUP CAKE (30 July – 5 August)

We will be sharing some cupcake magic with your kids.  Even grown-ups can’t resist their diminutive charms.  We have tips for turning out these munchkin-sized treats and ideas for dressing them up to suit all occasions.

CRAFTS (6 – 12 August)

Got the beads, glitz and glue ready to go!  With the sun being the theme this summer, kids can go extreme and make the hottest fashion accessories.

BACK TO SCHOOL (13 – 19 Aug)

It’s school time once again!  Gather blank pages from old notebooks and create a recycled notebook.  To make it more interesting, kids will design a unique front cover with their favourite pictures.  We will teach them the benefits of recycling, and they will have lots of fun in the process.

PAKISTAN ASSOCIATION SUMMER FIESTA

Do you get worried when its time for your kid’s homework?!

Homework seems to take up a lot of family time esp. keeps the mum on her toes. I am sure all of you must have derived some sort of homework tacking strategies. Here are some simple rules.

  • Set up a schedule that will allow the child little breaks, and still get the work done. 
  • Specify a place for your kid to do homework on a daily basis. This will help him/her to realize what is expected of them. Guide them to organize their work place too for smooth study time.
  • A good idea is to have the computer near the homework station, in case needed for research work. 
  • Place a dictionary, atlas, thesaurus and other reference books in that area too.
  • Organize pens, pencils, paper and other supplies so that time is not wasted in hunting for those items all around the house.
  • Appreciate when the child is showing interest and working towards finishing the task.
  • Some children need a push. Talk and explain why homework is important and how a good attitude can do wonders in completing work. Motivation is the key but it will take a lot of time and effort to get the ‘work avoiders’ to get serious. Don’t lose hope, keep trying!
  • Once work is completed, it should all be placed back in folders and backpacks. This will help avoid the trouble faced when projects are forgotten at home. 
  • Backpacks must be placed at easy access points in the house preferably close to the main door so that they are picked up quickly the next morning.

HAPPY HOMEWORKING! as my 3 year old says when he sees his older brother at the desk. :)

Twins explore personality types in co-authored work

By Nasheet Jaffer Khan, Community Solutions Editor
Published: April 02, 2009, 22:46

 

Dubai: Dubai-based twin sisters Mariam and Fatima Masood attempt to help break personality codes through their work of fiction I Know Who You Are.

The novel spins its tale around the nights and days of a 12-year-old boy, Sultan, who stumbles upon magical powers while cleaning a closet, as his family prepares to move house.

What follows is Sultan’s journey to understanding the varied personalities of people, aided by his grandfather.

Being human we have problems with humans,” 25-year-old Fatima said. “Actually, it should be the contrary. Every person has a character skin [type], which affects their manner of interaction and relationship with others.

The book surmises that if you are able to identify the personality type, you can understand people better.

 

Mariam said that sensitivity and a keen observation of people helped provide the fodder for the story.

She said: “Just because people have physical similarities, they expect each other to think alike, believe or have similar opinions, too. The book broadly categorises the basic personalities.” She is quick to add that they “don’t claim that all personalities can be categorised“.

Employed as kindergarten teachers, it took the twins a year, endless cups of tea and countless “rain cheques” for family gatherings to finalise the book and its prime characters.

When it comes to creating something from nothing there are quite a few things that have to be considered. The development of the character ’skins’ was a challenging task as we had to make each character as powerful as the other and yet unique,” Mariam said. She added that no character had a negative side to it as “everyone has a good reason for doing what they do“.

Squint-eyed nights of research and belief in their story gave the twins the courage to push the envelope and mail it to the publishers.

Fatima said: “There were times when we used to feel stressed and disappointed, waiting for publishers and literary agents to respond. However, from the time of sending the queries to signing the publishing contract, it only took us three months.”

Thinking of the time we started writing and to see the book published has been a rewarding experience. I feel like going to the bookstore just to see the book there!” Mariam said. Fatima added: “It was similar to seeing the harvest of a crop which has been planted, nurtured, protected and prayed for day in, day out. It is still unbelievable sometimes.”

The twins said they could not have written the book without each other – it was “a joint thought”. They said: “Though we are identical, little is common between us. We still understand each other the best.”

How has the book changed their lives?

They said: “It has simplified it. We know how to deal with people more effectively.

The book is published by Olympia Publishers and is available at Jashanmal Bookstores.

Lipstick

When testing lipstick for colour, the best place to try is on the cushion of your finger, where the skin in pinkish like that of lips.

Scissors 

To sharpen your scissors, cut a sheet of emery paper into small pieces.

Plasters

If you find removing sticking plasters difficult to remove from your skin, try rubbing baby oil over the plaster.

Plasticine

A quick alternative  for plasticine for children is a dough made with salt, water and flour. To give it colour add food colour, paprika or mustard powder. To keep it soft, store in a sealed plastic bag.

As hands sweat  a lot in rubber gloves, they may become damp and smell unpleasant. Avoid this by dusting the inside of gloves with talc when you use them. Wash gloves from inside and dry inside out after use.

Shoes

Remove odour from smelly shoes by sprinkling a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda inside each shoe and leave overnight.

Zips

A zip can be helped to run smoothly by rubbing it with a little soap, pencil lead or candle wax.

Talk – ‘People and Personalities’
by Fatima Masood, Co-author of the up coming book “I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!”
At the Creative Mumz’s Meet-up
on 22nd November 2008

‘People and Personalities’was the topic of the talk conducted for the Creative Mumz group in Dubai. The meet-up was at Al Qasba in Sharjah and started at 11:00 am in the morning.

Fatima introduced the Twins’ concept of the arithmetic operations (+ – × ÷) that can help in understanding yourself and others. An activity was prepared to list down qualities every individual identified as necessary to add and subtract in her/his personality. 

Then, time was spent to note people and qualities we would like to multiply and divide in the society. An interesting discussion sparked off when everyone interpreted a quotation by Aldous Huxley about the society. It was a very interesting talk and informative too.

” I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!” is written by Dubai based twin authors, Mariam Masood and Fatima Masood. It is being published in the United Kingdom by Olympia Publishers and shall be out in Spring 2009 with the grace of Almighty Allah.

If you are a book lover, this ones for you.

I am among one of the few first readers of the book and I must say its a very gripping piece of modern literature. The concepts put forward in the book are very unique and capture the mind of the reader. You tend to read and re-read the core lines and concepts as you unfold the mystery woven around the characters.

It would be a good handbook to keep as a guide to understand people we live with. I believe the character skins portrayed in the book are very real. As you read the book you tend to say, “Oh! yes, I know this one; it is so and so in my life..oh so now I know!!”

By Faryal

Here is what the authors have to say about it:

I Know Who You Are! is a unique novel which has a blend of fascinating fiction and hard-core reality. It not only tells the readers the story about Sultan and his family but it also reveals the secret of dealing with people successfully.

 The book presents the concept that every person has a Character Skin which guides his behaviour and inspires his conversations. If you know a person’s Character Skin, you can understand, respond and deal with him effectively.

 “Truth is only valued by the ones who are righteous, for the ones who are possessed by their own beliefs are indifferent to it.” (Mariam & Fatima Masood)

 I Know Who You Are! diversifies a person’s perspective through positive thinking. It invites its reads to explore, enjoy, reflect  and analyze the concepts the Character Skins, people, possess.   

I Know Who You Are! will be in bookstores in Spring 2009.
