this is a piece of work by kakak… she drew this while being home-quarantined ..a decision made by both her parents in light of the H1N1 scare and also the fact that her pre-school had cautioned us of an outbreak of HFMD in the neighborhood. she produces works like these whenever the fancy hits her, which is nearly every day. most of the time, it’s black and white… extra effort in coloring would be made if she feels extra good on that day…

and since i was blardy bogged with work yesterday that my plans to hop over klcc or pavillion to get a card or token gift for amir’s birthday was crushed – immediately suggested to kakak that she address the drawing to her baba! (yeah, cheapo mommy.. LOL.. sorry ayang… mmg nawaitu dah ada dah… but time didn’t permit)

then this morning after sahur.. did the usual rounds on my google reader feed and came across the updates from emilayusof.com… especially love her moleskine series of illustrations.. and was reminded that in those distant days of bukit merbah, i was quite fond of doodling myself…

it was an outlet from all the studying *cough*cough* that we did – boarding skool kids are a hardworking bunch you know!… i especially recall doodling the backs of the heads of my classmates after being done with my exam papers… it was a common doodle on the extra foolscap that was distributed for our answer sheet.. wish i had kept those..

anywho.. since kakak regularly draws (and goes through the full ream of paper in 2 months or so).. i loathe thinking that i’d lose those extra good drawings she made – so am considering getting (making?) her a proper folio so she can keep her loose pieces of work.. and also buying those sketch books (which makes my life much much easier).. should also consider getting one myself and see whether i still got that drawing/doodling bug in me..
