Remember that time when I won a gold medal in an Olympiade (second time).
Well…for the record, I also got MONEY! The one before only got an amount of Rp500.000,00. But this time, was much better. I got an amount of Rp750.000, 00! :):):)
I was soooo happy and Mum and Dad agreed to get or buy something using it! I already knew what I wanted. It was something that I haven’t had in a long time. Something that I love (until now) and something which I usually take to build something new out of it.
You guessed it right: LEGO. 😉
It was just Mum and I first, and I had soooo many suggestions!
I immediately took out my I-Pad and opened the LEGO app. I saw many LEGOs there, including LEGO Friends, LEGO City, LEGO Disney, LEGO creators, etc. And, luckily, it was on discount!
I searched Disney, but at that time, they were celebrating Disney 100, so everything there was at least Rp1.000.000,00!.
I had no intention in LEGO city, and obviously NO intention in creators (puh-please! I can create my own, thank you very much!).
LEGO Friends, here I come! Of course, there was a new LEGO Friends behind the camera: LEGO Friends, A new chapter! I wanted to get one of those. And finally, I chose Autumn’s House. The house is a country house with nice green tiles and literally…
It’s all. About. Nature. So…yeah! Definitely.
We didn’t buy it as soon as we could, because we had to get Dad’s permission. On Tuesday, I finally asked him. We were all watching TV, and he was really absorbed into it, so, pretty impatiently, I waited until there was an advert. Dad took a look and didn’t really approve.
I was pretty upset. Dad showed a LEGO Rocket, but this time, I was the one that didn’t approve. I mean, the rocket had only 500 something pieces! Whilst Autumn’s house has nearly 900! When I told him this, he finally did approve.
Happily, we bought it! We weren’t really expecting to come until Christmas, because it was sent from Jakarta, which is pretty far away.
However, surprisingly, three days later, a big parcel was waiting for us! :). We didn’t get our hopes up, until we opened it…AND IT WAS MY LEGO! While I was admiring it, my parents took a look at the label and saw that they took a shortcut and sent it from Medan! Pretty smart don’t you think?
I wanted them to wrap it up so it could be a Christmas present, but my parents refused, because they said that they were wanting to get something else. Hmm?
The next day, I immediately open it and build it! There were six packs, and it took my almost four hours to finish it. I was happy that it was worth it, and I got my first ever LEGO Friends: The New Chapter LEGO set! It goes with four mini-figures, one dog and one horse.
Autumn is a teen girl that was born with a limb difference, but over all, she always goes on adventures and loves volunteering at the adoption centre!
Aliya is teen girl that is always tidy and is head girl of her school. She is the leader of the group and keeps thing on schedule (she sounds like Mum 🙂 )
Leo is a teen boy that loves cooking and sports. He has a very rush of gratitude to Autumn and he always helps out with her for animals too!
Mia is Autumn’s Mum, and yes, it is the same Mia from our first LEGO Friends: Girl on a Mission. She is the housekeeper of her house and loves baking pies as much as loves her daughter!
Daisy is Autumn’s dog who loves Mia’s pies.
Peanut is Autumn’s horse who is also the foal of Mia’s old horse: Bella.
It is one of the biggest sets I’ve ever had, and now, I always play with it.
Thanks Mum and Dad, and also to myself for earning the LEGO. And big thank you to POSI for making kids earn what they deserve!
