pen pals anyone?

Miss 7 came home 1 day many weeks ago showing me a letter from her pen pal. Terkejut I sebab kecik2 dah ada pen pal. She said that all her classmates have got pen pals as well. Then she told me yang her teacher organised with another teacher from another school North of the River for their kids to be pen pals to each other. So, kiranya each kid in her class ada 1 pen pal from that teacher’s class in the other school lah. It’s a good idea sebab it teaches the kids how to write sentences, spell words, ask questions and it makes them happy to have friends somewhere else. But they exchange the letters at school, bukan kena pos surat tu sendiri Smile.

And a week before school finishes, their pen pals will be coming to their school for a picnic together so dapat lah berkenal kenalan and see each other’s faces. Seronok sangat2 lah Miss 7 sebab dia ada pen pal and Miss 11 takde!

And now, jadi kerja pulak untuk I sebab Miss 11 asked me to find her some pen pals. Well, I guess with her it will be email pals lah bukan pen pals sebab diaorang mana ada guna pens lagi dah kan untuk tulis surat, hehehe.

I said to her yang I can help her cari pen pals from all over the world (Mak dia perasan terer and ramai kenalan konon2nya, wahkahkahkah). Pastu bila Miss 7 dengar yang I nak carikan Miss 11 pen pals, dia pun terus lah nak jugak!

So, sesiapa yang ada anak or anak sedara or anak angkat or anak kenalan or sape2 lah yang baya2 Miss 11 and Miss 7 yang suka berutus email and suka cari kawan (cari kawan eh, bukan cari awek!), please let me know.

Miss 11 and Miss 7 tak kisah sama ada boys or girls, diaorang kawan aje dengan sesiapa Smile. But kenalah guna English ye sebab I malas nak jadi translator kalau dalam BM or Jawa, hehehe.

Ada tak agaknya yang berminat nak berkenalan dengan The Little Misses? Kan tengah cuti sekolah kat M’sia sekarang ni, dari tak buat menda, baik tulis surat kat kawan baru kan! hikhikhik……

Manalah tau kan, kalau we all balik M’sia bila2 nanti, boleh lah gather2 jumpa2 sambil makan pizza macam ni…

Edelyn boleh jadi pen pals Alya & Zahra. Mula-mula, biar Edelyn write something to Alya & Zahra thru email....ok kan?

msmitchie said...

Tempted.
Daughter is 6 and speaks Jawa (German Hehe). Would give her some practice for her English since she will only have English in 3rd grade and she is only in the 1st now.

azieazah said...

LG.. yeah memang suatu idea yang baik. Macam zaman dolu-dolu,kan?

Nanti anak-anak ni akan bertukar-tukar cerita dan pendapat. Bagus lah.


Teruskan..

Mia's Mom said...

Adakah offer ni terbuka untuk kanak2 di tanah air sahja? Bolehkah Damia apply sama untuk berpenpal dengan Miss 7? :-D

blu4sky said...

My Life My World said...

Bagus lah sekolah dia orang ada idea macam nih. I teringat masa kecik kecik dulu ada satu rancangan TV they call "The Big Blue Marble".
My Brother just suka-suka hantar dan dia dapat Pen Pal dari German, dan sehingga hari ini dia still keep in touch dengan that girl from German tu as Pen Pal. Lama tuh, dari umur abang I, 11 tahun sampai la ni dah 46 tahun ... hikhikhik

Teringin nak jadikan Hilman Pen Pal anak Min .... tapi mamat ni tak ada email ... hukhukhuk

lemongrass said...

Asilah,
just use my lemongrass@y7mail.com email ye so bolehlah Zahra baca :-)

Akira,
alah, takpe, suruh diaorang tulis sikit2 aje sbb my kids pun bukannya tulis panjang berjela sbb ambik masa weh nak taip 1-1 huruf tu, hehehhe.

Shidah,
that'll be so good! Boleh lah whenever we all balik M'sia sambil kita2 jumpa gather2, diaorang pun jumpa gather2 kan :-).

Hamsini,
takpe, my kids pun cuma guna simple english words aje so tak payah you ken atranslate :-).

Nanak,
hikhikhik...wah, terer lah yr baby kalau dia boleh guna keyboard at 7 months :-P

Sally,
boleh aje! Just guna my lemongrass@y7mail.com email, pastu boleh dia hantar email ke my kids :-).

zmah,
tu lah kan, memang best idea mcm tu sbb memang happy all the kids dpt pen pal :-)

Nora,
ada tapi tak boleh lah bagitau kat sini nama glemer I, hahaha.

RC,
Salam. I think you are a bit too 'old' for the girls lah, hehehe ;-).
Masa I kecik2 dulu ada jugak penpals fr Europe tp kejap aje pastu dah lost contact :-).

Sooyaree,
my kids ni teramatlah sukanya dpt surat with their names on it esp klu bukan stamp Australia, hehehe

MsMitchie,
Kalau yr daughter nak ckp German dgn my kids, I kena bukak kamus lah but I guess it's never to early for her to start learning English like you said :-).

Kak Azie,
kita masa kecik2 dulu suka sgt2 kumpul penpals kan, seronok! Hopefully my kids pun suka jugak lah :-).

Mia's Mom,
Salam. I think Zahra will be happy to get a penpal from so far away (one up from her sister, hehehe).

Blu4sky,
Hehehe...teringat kenangan masa zaman muda2 dulu ye :-).
My kids pun suka dpt surat with their names on it even if it's just from the dentist, hehehe

Kak Acik,
Uish, bestnya ada pen pal yg lama sgt2 macam tu. Semua pen pal I masa kecik2 dulu dah lost contact.
Psst... bila lagi nak kenal2 kan Hilman dgn bakal bininya ni kalau bukan dr sekarang, muahahahahaha

Flower said...

ok dokey. I'll invite you tru your email address. I have to invite org, sbb org tak leh nak invite me. I disable kan my add as friend button. I ni kan kera sumbang. hehehehe.

dieya said...

teringat zaman sekolah2 dulu.. tulis surat kat pen pal serata alam, rasa happy sgt bila posmen dtg bagi kita surat. cikgu pun encourage as a way to improve english. ada satu akak kat kampung kept in touch with her childhood pen pal in UK punyalah lama sampai dah besar and ended up marrying that guy! hebat betul penangan pen pal ni :-D

Anash said...

talking about penpal, I just want to share my sweet memories with penpal.
1986-getting a penpal's address thro 'ape-kenama-programme-tu-i-dah-lupa' during school year.
1997-finally met her in UK coz further study there..we really hugged each other...
2010-lost for 10 years no contact, thanks to fb, we comunicate again in cyberworld..the most toucable word from her was .."you are the first person i search/put in the facebook.."
so, go for truely penpal..i sokong your intention getting penpal for the kids..
PS:melalut plak my comment..haha..

lemongrass said...

Nora,
hehehe....takpe jadi kera sumbang ni. Kat FB ni skrng mcm2 jenis orang ada :-)

Dieyea,
Wow! Cerita Akak kat kampung you tu memang boleh buat script drama lah. I nak aje suruh you tulis about her love story kat yr blog so boleh I baca, sure romantis habis kan! hehehe

Anash,
That's really sweet between you and your penpal. Memang kiranya true kawan lah kan. I ada jugak penpals dulu but memang tak ingat langsung their names :-(.

afid said...

kak Lg,
dulu masa skolah kan, ada satu classmate yang macam jadi ejen tau. Dia ada kupon budak2 yg nak jadi penpal dari oversea so kitaorang bayar je bape sen tah untuk dpt kupon tu. so lepas tu bersurat2 la...hehe..klakar je.

Just came across your blog, I think my daughter would love to have a friend. She is a quiet girl at school. She is 8 and her name is Erisa. I hope your daughter won't mind another friend from M'sia :)
Hope to hear from them.
