Craft with ParenThots, 2nd Year

Yesterday was my 2nd time participating in the annual Art and Craft activity by the Star's parenting unit, ParenThots. This yearly fare normally kicks off the mid year break.

It was better organized and went on in such orderly manner. Most of us got there early to be eligible for the limited goody bag giveaway.

As early birds we made it for the first activity which was the same I attempted last year. No complaints but had only the morning slot free for my music class schedule clashed.

Took a good start ....

and completed to perfection. Check out my name at the bottom left of my art work. That one had some professional help from daddy .. ;-)

I had just enough time to try my hand at making my own greeting card. Lots of lovely pre-cut papers in various shapes were available and I mixed and matched them accordingly for an inspiring Father's day card.

Free Giveaways @ Supermarkets

Weekends are important to every store, pretty much everywhere for that's when the crowd pours in. Enticing them with discounts and bargain buys are a norm moreover with more and more hypermarkets spreading like wild mushrooms, the race intensifies.

So how do you get consumers to buy a certain food product? Free samples of course! We can try on clothes, shoes and accessories but food tasting is one way ...

You have to feed the mass to get the buy in and if they don't like it, there's no refund / return. Every aisle serves up a product for shoppers to try as they walk by.

Now here's a 'food' for thought, influenced by traditional French cuisine, the samples should follow a standard sequence. Appetizer, Main course, dessert followed by drinks.

Designed in miniaturized size in the order of serving will give the buyer a good feel of how the product fits into a meal plan and compliments others along the line.

The Longest Batik Painting by Children

At 5 years old, I've made a small contribution being part of a massive exercise that was recognized as a new entry to the Malaysian Book of Records!

The Longest Batik Painting made by children, all of whom were from the Krista Kindergarten.

The feat will be on display at the Hartamas Shopping Center till early next month. Certification took place yesterday attended by key dignitaries.

All the kids worked hard at completing each piece which was later attached to one another before being brought in to be strung up. Some last minute pieces were also done onsite.

To entertain the attendees, some schools came forward with great performances like this Arabian piece.

One that came all the way from Sarawak.

A sketch on Snow White and the 7 Krista Kids.

A Choir ... and

The finale by the Winners of the Krista Central Region Carnival 2011!

The anchor dancer wasn't visible at the picture before this but a crucial element to the piece performed to the tune of Lady Gaga's Poker Face.

Overwhelmed at the feat and our performance ...

Nice work by my mates and me for the glory of Krista!

Happy Teacher's Day!

To all my Teacher's .... Thank You!

The Avengers

Enjoyed the movie thoroughly! 9:30pm show must have been a little too late for me for I slept through the boisterously loud climax.

Happy Wesak

This afternoon we made our way to the Sri-Lanka Buddhist Temple located in Sentul. Traffic was crawling but thanks to the volunteer force Rela, getting a parking was relatively easy.

Steady flow of devotees were managed very well by the youth committee who helped coordinate at key areas within the temple. We had no problem at all making our offerings.

This temple has been our yearly destination for as long as I can remember and stepping inside instantly creates this tranquility within. The teachings of Buddhism is all around.

 

Finding such orderly conduct in some temples can be questionable for failed management in performing their duties. No offence, it's just an observation from my limited experience.

The money tree was an interesting way to get people to donate for a good cause as the temple conducts lots of charitable work for the under privileged.

At the time of leaving, they were gearing up for the evening procession. The floats were looking absolutely spellbinding.

As long as the bunnies hop into my pocket ... I have no complaints.
