Alahai malunya I sebab ramai yang nak tengok my costume 'creation', hehehe. For your information, I'm not a genius when it comes to creating costumes at such a short notice and out of thin air :-). Actually, I'm just not a genius, fullstop......hehehehe. But since we live here and the Little Misses go to school here and they love performing skits at school so I do occasionally have to use my 'creativity' to make costumes for them. When we were living in Adelaide and Miss soon-to-be-10 attended the public school there, lagi lah banyak costumes yang I had to 'create' from scratch, hehehehe. Dah lah the 'creative' side of my brains are not that well developed so kadang2 tu memang lah ntah apa2 aje costumes yang turned out :-). As long as the Little Misses are happy with my creations, that's all that matters right :-). Some people will just buy the costumes but we would rather use the money on something else so nak tak nak terpaksalah Mummy memerah otak mereka/ menjahit/membega costumes yang diaorang nak. I wonder why the Little Misses never asked their Dad to make the costumes for them, hahahahaha......


So far, Miss 5 belum lagi kena buat any costume apart from fairy costumes which are just so easy as long as you have the wings ready, hehehe. In the Little Misses room, there's this big plastic basket full of old clothes for their dressing up games. Most of the stuff are my old tops and scarves and sarongs so bila dah takde idea nak buat costume, I just selongkar the plastic basket hoping to find old clothes that I can bega2 to make into a 'new' one, senang kan, hehehehe.....

My cute little Egptian with the chinese features, wahkahkah.... Make up mata dia tu mahal weh, Mummy dia yang mekap kan pagi2 before pegi school, wahahahahaha.....

Narrating her segment. Punyalah gabra dia but we told her as long as she's loud and clear, that's good enough.

Trying to walk like an Egyptian but she looks more like the song that goes....

"I'm a little teapot, short and stout..."
"Here is my handle and here is my spout..."



I found this old photo of Miss soon-to-be-10 when she was 7 as Saucepan Man from 'the faraway tree' by Enid Blyton. Jenuh I nak membuat all the saucepans and the pans to tie around her body tu! Nak bagi the real saucepans, berat giler, sian pulak dia nanti asik terantuk aje kat saucepans tu so I made them out of thick papers.

Mynn,

she doesn't look like a typical chinese but a girl from kazakhstan or all the countries that end with the prefix tan in middle asia. definitely a mixed of arab and chineselah..

the costume turned out well...nasib baik mummy tu ada midas touch!
