THE CONTINENTS OF THE WORLD

Out of old toys,

out of old cardboard...

out of imagination,

out of creativity...

HAIRDRESSER

8 June 2012, Friday

Min loves playing with her hair.  Tying, untying.  Tying up her hair with medals (as seen in picture), it's like having long hair (according to her).

She's tying up her sister's hair here in the photos below.

ZHEN'S FAVOURITE PILLOW

December 2011

Zhen loves this pillow (cover) a lot.  One day, Min was hugging this pillow, at the back seat of the car, while I was driving.  Zhen, in the front seat, tried to trick her little sister into 'selling' this pillow to her...

LZ:  Min, come we play selling pillows, want or not?

LM:  Ok.

LZ:  Boss, this pillow very nice.  How much is it?  I want to buy this.

(I was smiling, knowing what Zhen had in her mind.) 
LM:  This pillow is RM10. (I forgot the actual figure.)

LZ:  Here's the money.

LM:  Sorry, I want to close the shop now.  You come back tomorrow.

LZ:  Ok... now, next day already.  Boss, remember, I came yesterday.  I want to buy that pillow. 

LM:  Sorry, I'm busy today.  You come back tomorrow.

(Zhen was getting 'mad' for not getting her favourite pillow and I was laughing out loud.)

CAMPING IN THE ROOM

6 November 2011, Sunday

MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL (中秋节) 2011

It's Mid Autumn Festival... the kids had fun playing with lanterns and candles lighting.  They had an enjoyable time at a friend's house yesterday night too.

TEDDY'S LAZY EYE

18 August 2011, Thursday
I was putting my girls' soft toys to the washing machine when I found this poor teddy...

Both of my girls have a lazy eye, on their right eye.  They have to patch their right eye for at least 1-2 hours every day.  So, I guessed they must have patched poor teddy and forgot to take the patch off.  :-)
