blogmages/fullmoon.jpg here’s my lame attempt at being a poetic photographer. only thing is – the effin camera on stitch-0 don’t work too well in the dark. not that it works fabulously in daylight.

but yeah, this is it. it’s supposed to show a large full moon through the dark leaves of the tree in front of our house. but the moon turned out small in the pic. so much for poetism.

blogmages/plssirmayihvsomemore.jpg mothering rule #537 : toddlers will always happily put any container with the slightest indent in it on their head – but will always scream blue murder when you try to put a cap to protect them from the afternoon sun.

kya’s placed on her head an array of things – dustbins, bowls, cups, laundry baskets, you name it. thank god my dad is a stickler for cleanliness – even his dustbins are speckless – who else do you know that scrubs mightily the bottom of a wok (asian frying pan) – maybe i should take a photo of that. so i don’t make a fuss whenever kya proudly shows her latest headdress.

blogmages/melunch.jpg i have been bemoaning the fact that the shopping complex that used to use the tag line ‘everything under the sun‘ didn’t have a measly mcdonald’s outlet. i was heading back to the office from paying for my trip to kerteh when i passed by the level 2 foodcourt (still dunno what’s the new name) and noticed that the left wing (or right wing, depending where you’re standing) has opened to public.

the second thing i noticed then was *drum roll* ta-da!!! a macca’s outlet!! although i’ve had my lunch (sandwich), i decided to get me a burger just to officiate its opening. i foresee a lot of me hard-earned moolah being channeled to this outlet. oh and there’s the book that i’ve been reading on and off for the past 1 year. the unfinished tales – a fitting title since i can’t seem to finish it . always end up opening up the lotr trilogy to check up on some details and getting engrossed with that book instead.

blogmages/newtackytoy.jpg our family has a new routine now for the weekends. we head for the nearby park for an hour or so of walking, walking and more walking (for me it involves a lot of running around after kya on the playground gym) and then we end up at the neighborhood mamak restaurant for breakfast. i made the mistake of also dropping in the convenience store next door to see whether the latest ‘Pedang Setiawan’ has arrived and kya saw this toy that sells for RM2.

she had actually wanted to buy that toy in each of our earlier visits to the store but i’ve always said no. that morning, i didn’t have the heart to deny her a measly 2 dollar trinket – so i got her the toy. she played with it for roughly 10 minutes and immediately lost interest in making it turn. it’s now turned into something she uses to hit people with. especially her uncle andy..tsk tsk.
