Once upon a time, there's one young mother ( YOUNG kahh ?? ) living in a small cottage in the middle of the desert with her 2 young childrens. The man of the house was out "hunting" so that they will have foods on their table. One day, this mother was trying her hardest to concentrate on.........












....watching her favorite Korean drama series. Ha Ha Ha..

Well that day episode was sort of critical important episode u see. It's like if u miss that episode, might as well u skip the rest of the series. Begituuuu critical sekali !! However, her 2 young girls doesn't agree and demanding for her attentions, to which she needs to find a solution for it, a quick one indeed. She's definitely need something that will keep her girls occupied for the next 30 minutes or so.

Think think think...

Then....

Tingggggggg !

She gathered her 2 girls and announced a competition called " DRAW YOUR MUMMY CONTEST "

The winner will win 3 scoops of London Dairy ice cream sprinkled with generous amount of chocolate rice and the other contestant ( obviously there's only 2 participants right haha ) will have to satisfy with one scoop of ice cream. I am mean and cheapskate like that at times :)


Like any other contests, there'll be rules and regulations applied. Well for this contest, there will be 1 rule and 1 rule only....

DO NOT DISTURB MUMMY !

**wink wink wink, batting eye-lashes**

I am very considerate organizer I tell you bahahah...

Keep it short.. contestant number 1 submitted 3 drawings after the contest ended while contestant number 2 only submitted 1 masterpiece despite sooooo many questions thrown ! Rule breaker this one .... Sighhh..


Let's move on to judging..







When I asked her " Ni jek adik lukis mummy? Skirt mana? Baju mana? Mulut idong mummy mana?



Guess what she replied ?















Oppssss chorry adik lukis rambut mummy macam Hantu Kak Limah !




I rest my case. She's definitely something else hahaha...

I supposed you can guess who win this time. No competition at all. Anyhow, both of them was awarded with 3 scoops of ice cream each. The results doesn't matter, the effort it is.

And like other fairytale should ended, everyone lives happily ever after.

The End !

After almost a year living in Q8, there's one obvious fact among many that I personally came to noticed. Beauty and hair salon outnumbered other types of business here. 1st runner up is laundry shop, like seriously. You can find laundry shop every 50 meters and since there's so manyyyy of 'em all, no wonder they offered home pickup and home delivery services. Fell in third place, in my opinion was no one but pastries shop. Well, Arabian did have sweet tooths and there's notin' new about it.

I was blogwalking and stumbled upon this video from 248am ( he got it from buzzfairy).

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.. That's what children are all about.

Today, as I performed my Zohor, Erin as usual, will imitating my solat routine from takbir to when I say my prayer. It is rather puzzled seeing her terkumat kamit during doa part so I asked her what could possibly she pray for to which she replied with cheeky smile and wide grin. Haha that's Erin answer for nothing. So I was called to teach them about prayer, you know basically what you can/should ask from Allah.

To sums up, basically my version went like this..

YA ALLAH, MAAFKAN LAH ( i changed the words ampun since i think it's a big word for them for now else I will need extra good 10 minutes to explain the words ampun itself) DOSA MUMMY DAN PAPA SAYA, NENEK DAN ATOK SAYA, TOKKI DAN TOKWAN SAYA. MURAHKAN REZEKI ( as I expected, i had to explained the words rezeki to them both, to keep it simple I translated as duit. They'll understand later when they grow up that rezeki doesn't mean duit and duit only but for now let stick to what they could easily understand) PAPA SAYA. JADIKKAN LAH SAYA GOOD GIRL, DENGAR CAKAP MUMMY DAN PAPA SAYA DAN RAJIN SOLAT.

I personally think it should be enough for them to understand basic prayer. To test whether to do understand what I just taught them, I asked them to repeat their prayer, of course using their own version and this is what I got..

Alis and Erin almost synchronised :

YA ALLAH, MAAFKAN PAPA DAN MUMMY SAYA, NENEK DAN ATUK SAYA, TOKKI DAN TOKWAN SAYA ( hmmmm so far so good). Erin then took the lead and decided she can do better. So she continued.... BAGI LAH PAPA CAYA BANNNYYAAKKKKK DUIT ( Cute !!!) , NANTI PAPA CAYA BOLEY BELI MAINANNNN, KERETAAA, CHAUN THE CHEEP... BLA BLA BLA ( not cute anymore ! ) And continously adding more and more
" wishlist"... sighhhhh ....

I just let her be because I wanted to see how the closing would be... After she's about done with her list, she end up her prayer with this....



TOLOOOOOOONG LAH CAYA !



Ha ha ha ha ha ha.... very drama queen this girl I tell you






So it occured to me that she got the point that we should be humble and seek for help from Allah.

And so she understand the relation between money and materials in life.

However, I wonder where the part where she was supposed to ask to be a good and obedient girl goes ?

*rolls eyes*

Having said that,

I think it is a good start :)
