Long shot riffle

My little inventor at work again, suddenly i hear the tape scrap scrap again and uyay is at work. He found our broken green ikea children writing table leg( yeap our famous green table is missing a leg, thanx to Harith) and applied "tape" the magnifying glass at the side and tada!! He got a long shot riffle, able to shoot far target.

Busy taping taping taping and sigh ....taping, did i mention this boy is a perfectionist, he wont have the magnifying glass wobbly, it must be attached firmly at the expenses of soo much tape.


Yeap!! Thats the masterpiece, oh yes at the back he attached a holder from a broken shovel to the stump of the table leg for easy handling.

Ummi now is his easy prey, see how he gets the magnifying glass viewer so alligned with the so called riffle. 

Yes, Uyay is very technical, while Harith is very artistic. I am now finding and exploring more toys / tools to enhance and nurture their imaginary innovative inventive ability which I believe are within every children given the chance to explore this natural gift.

Fruit tart

Been wanting to bake a fruit tart and I finally did!! The dough recipe is just like those of cheese tart.
Yep this post is one which i gloat at my own tiny mini achievements, lol.




Terry fox run

In the year of my birth, a hero Terry Fox, a cancer survivor himself at the time started a marathon called "marathon of hope" to raise money for cancer research. He ran or rather hop everyday in rain, strong wind with one leg ( another been amputated due to the osteosarcoma) 43km a day for 143 days in the hope to raise money and awareness to help cancer research center to study and eventually find cure to cancer. Although the spread of the cancer eventually force him to stop his quest. 

Today full of energy our families for the first time ever join the "marathon of hope" and wish that his spirit of helping, fighting and sharing stays with us and help us grow into somebody in the likes of him.The marathon was held in many coutries every year and raise millions for cancer research. 

We finish the 10km run , walking while pushing Diha stroller( Diha been a darling the whole time) , harith biking, uyay riding his scooter. We enjoyed ourselves soo much.

Semangat waja nak start!





Initially i never have expected that we will complete the run , and so proud that we did. Bravo to my boys who didn't want to give up and want to see the finishing line.
