Laughing at Cicakman

Many things can make Rayyan laugh.. but only certain scenes from "Cicakman" can make him laugh like this...

Good thing we bought the DVD long time ago... the best bait to prevent him from sleeping at his nenek's every night.

Smart Kids @ PWTC

I actually wanted to go to Smart Kids more than buying the new camera. My purpose of going there was purely business. I don't think kids can enjoy much of the stuff there... being their size, a couple of hours walking smelling people's pants and skirts would get them suffocated. Gila ramai orang! And it's a paid exhibition. 4 bucks each adult.

There were lots of activities for kids. There were some great ideas in getting the crowd to participate but they just needed a bigger place. PWTC is no longer suitable for big crowds. PC Fair has shifted to KLCC Convention centre. Smart Kids should follow.

I wanted to collect as many brochures as I could for business purposes. I've a project coming out sometime in May or June that would cater for similar demographics as those people who paid 4 bucks and the kids they brought along. I guess I succeeded in my "research exercise".

AMD (the chip maker) set up a fighter jet simulator for kids... man the Q was looong. Rayyan got interested but I didn't think we could wait.. takut nanti bila dah sampai turn.. he lose interest pulak.. so we went on looking at other booths...



Ja was eyeing for the Munchies bag.. ingat diorang bagi free.. rupanya kena beli 10 bucks! Not bad at all.. a red bag filled with Munchies products.. a definite bargain! Dah seronok dapat bag tu Ja bought another bag.. full of junks! "Boro" ke ntah apa junk food ntah... takpelaa duit dia.. hahaha...

Oh, almost forgot. Rayyan participated in a game at one of the booths.. was it Perpustakaan Negara ke apa ntah... he had to throw a paper ball into one of the many plastic cups on the table. He got it and then he had to answer a question. The lady asked Rayyan to count "Satu sampai Sepuluh". He started with One... then the lady said.. ah oklah.. "One to Ten"... Rayyan got to "Five" when she gave him a blue cap as the present. That got him excited a bit..

So lepas habis kutip brochures.. apa lagi.. balikla.. one last pose before going back... Rayyan with his cap, and the tiny "surf's up" penguin at the PWTC entrance...

Papa and the Flying Ringgits

I got myself a new toy! ;-))



It's a Sony... DSC-T2. Got fed-up with my old Sony digital camera... that fossil has a memory stick of 16MB and can't support memory stick larger than 128MB. Who sells below 1Gig sticks nowadays??

I bought it at Sony Style @ The Curve this morning. There was also a 50% promotion on display units.. there's this miniDV Sony camcorder selling for only RM500! (retail RM999). Macam nak sambar je benda tu but nasib baikla Ja stop... kalau tak terbang lagi duit...

Talking about terbang duit... right after buying the camera, we stopped at Mother Care. Disebabkan mak bapak pemalas, so we bought a toddler pram for Rayyan. Takut dia letih or nak tido etc bila kitorang jalan2 Europe starting this coming Friday! This 16kg boy is no joke. Kalau dah tertido, sapa nak angkut? So we got a MacLaren. Yup, Nana.. the Maclaren Volo.. Ada 10% sale.. so okayla.. cheaper than the one Ja saw at Mother Care @ One Utama even before the sale price.



So after buying the camera and the stroller... we thought of having an oleo pasta lunch at Fasta Pasta @ Ikano. That place was closed for good! Ntah gi mana dah tetiba je tutup. So we settled for Absolute Thai, next to the Dome.

Lepas makan kitorang gi Smart Kids exhibition at PWTC. Updates in the next entry.
