Pareo Magic













All the pieces of pareos I brough with me was not used as a 'sarong' or wrap-arounds as I would usually use (as in Malaysia) but as you can see, we used a lot of them in our play. Saffy & Oscar enjoyed buiding their little tent - a little shower & bathroom area, sleeping area and work area.

We had to use whatever we could think of or could find at home. We used Grandma Nancy's little tables, little chairs, cloth pegs, plastic bag cut into long strips to tie one end to the other side to make a room.

In the beginning, it was Saffy's play and Auntie Lay Hoon was her construction worker and eventually Oscar got intersted too which was just wonderful !!!

Oscar directed with lots of ideas to the construction of how the tent should look. Saffy... she must have her roof top to every tent we've built !!! *Smiling*

Since I had a few extra pieces of Pareos, I gave them to choose one just for themself. Oscar chose the green-blue-purple with circles on them (you can see it very clearly in the picture). Saffy chose a red one (which is just at the back of Oscar's in that picture).

I do miss Oscar very much. He's now in the hospital and we won't be able to see him for the next 6 months as he's in an isolated ward only parents can go in.

Tracing back ...

I haven't posted for ages!!!
Can't seem to find the opportunity to update this as often as I would like to. Will have a lot of tracing back and shall try to post as much as I can with what has been happening since I last posted.
