------------------------------

Yes, the all-time favorite lovable and huggable purple dinosaur will be live in Oman along with his friends (BJ, Riff and Baby Bop) for the first time! It will be held on 2 consecutive days, 25th and 26th of October 2013 at the Qurum Amphitheater. Still waiting for the ticket prices to be announced though and hoping that we could watch this show as my daughter loves Barney and Baby Bop so much> It probably was the first video she watched (as this was the first thing that came to my mind when I wanted to download videos for her, and didn't fail me anyway ;). Even have a Barney stuff toy for her and hoping to have the rest of Barney's friends for her collection. ;)

Eid Al Fitr 2013 holidays announced!

Really thankful for Sultan Qaboos for making the period of holidays for both public and private sector equal. :) 

Anyway, Eid holidays is surely to start from Wednesday, August 7th. I think its based on the sighting of the moon. 

In case of Thursday, 8th August, being the first day of Eid, holidays end on Saturday, 10th August. Working week to start on Sunday, 11th August. 

In case of Friday, 9th August, being the first day of Eid, holidays end on Monday, 12th August. Working week to start on Tuesday, 13th August.

So its either a 4-day or a 6-day holiday.. Let's all hope and pray for the latter. :)

Useful Facebook group/pages to join/visit in Oman

Muscat Mums (Group): Not only is this group for mums in Oman but even for dads, or everyone.. Just make sure to abide by the rules like no posting of non-child related items for sale or any other commercial advertising and you're good

Muscat Mums Members (Group): A group but only if you're a paid member, with benefits/priviledges which I have mentioned in another post 

Muscat.. Where can I find...? (Group): Want to ask anything (as you know everything in Oman is hard to find out even to look for reliable carpenters, etc), then this is the group which can help you. I have asked quite a few questions here and when I thought no one would bother to reply (or why would they waste their time reading and replying to me right? Or so I thought).. but still, they are very helpful and would really take time to reply/help you out, just don't mind some judgmental people who instead of just answering your question, asks you something in return (not helping, really) ;) Just ignore them anyway, or make sure to reply with a smiley face :)

Crafty in Oman (Group): For crafty people out there, anything craft-related can be shared in this group. I even shared my crafty work for my daughter's 1st birthday, and they loved the idea. A good place for sharing and getting good craft ideas to make 

Lets cake a cake! / Muscat baking club / Baking in Muscat (Group): Obviously as their names imply, all about baking and for more ideas on who to contact if you want to order cake for any ocassion. Got my daughter's 1st birthday Princess castle cake from one of the bakers of these groups, cheaper rather than buying from shops ;) 

Oman Adventure (Group): For the adventurous people in Oman. Did you know that there are activities in Oman like bowling, and wall climbing? I bet you didn't know ;)

FILCOSOC - Oman (Group): For the Filipinos living in Oman

Muscat Buy, Sell & Rent (Group): A buy and sell page worth visiting

Kidz in Muscat / KIM (Group): For activities for your kids and contacts of most of your party needs such as bakers, face painters, magicians, etc. 

Muscat Beauty & Spa's Forum (Group): For beauty tips, questions and beauty product/service reviews

Healthy Hearts in Oman (Group): A group which was formed based on personal experience of having a heart 

Muscat Schools & Nurseries (Group): For finding suitable daycares, schools, nurseries in Oman especially to those who are new in this country and get helpful tips from other moms

Muscat Buy or Sell / Muscat Buy or Sell Cars / Muscat Expats Buy and Sell Market / Muscat Buy & Sell / Muscat Buy and Sell (Page): Pages of the same purpose.. just quite tiring to view as you have to search for these pages 

Useful blogs in Oman
