cartoon strip

there was a cartoon strip competition last two weeks.muhd wanted to enter it but had somehow forgotten to work on it until the last minute.he pestered me to help so i searched for a pencil(sharpened,of course!) and a paper.then he asked "what should i draw?" and i said "up to you.think of a short story and work on it"

half an hour later he asked me again and since i had a lot of house chores to be taken care of,i asked him to ask his dad.hubby helped him and the story was about a chicken and a tiger.muhd wanted to dra a real tiger but his dad said "we dont have time since the closing date is tomorrow.why dont u just draw a stick tiger?" my son was not happy but he reluctantly followed the advice.he coloured the strip and handed it in the next day.

a few days later he came home with a prize-stabilo highlighters."look ma,i won!!' apparently he was the winner for his class and very proud of it.but hubby who helped,was the proudest of all!hehehe....
its a pity i didnt snap a photo of the cartoon strip....

hari raya puasa 2010

vacation in gold coast australia

we went to goldcoast australia during the summer (july 2010). my father followed us which was quite surprising. we were there for 9 days, 8nights.too long,if u ask me.

anyway,we went to the movie world,sea world and wet n wild.we've been here before in 2002 but since muhd wasnt born yet at that time,he requested we go again.above are some pictures....

fun day

we went to villagio yesterday.had sushi for lunch and as usual the kiosk was empty.i guess qataris and the mat sallehs dont really favour japanese food.TGIF was full as usual.
after that we went to hunt for the sale sign.kakak spotted the first shop with that signage.spring,a shoe shop which i have never heard of before but clearly a place she has patronized while shopping with her friend.i bought one sandal for her and she walked out of the shop in it with her old crocs in the box.

adik has been harrassing me for a new dress for her year end party.finally we found one at H&M.she picked a floral dress along with a white tights.i wanted to find a pair of sandals for myself and saw a nice one at the zara window display.we went inside and found it but when i tried it on,it didnt look quite as nice as it was on the mannequin.haha!instead adik bought another dress which i,myself liked.kakak was not happy adik got 2 dresses.oh well!cant please everyone.she doesnt realise the numerous times she came home with more things than adik...

since muhd didnt have any sushi earlier on,he was quite famished by the end of the shopping spree.so,we ended up eating pizza and garlic bread before heading home.
