Bought 2 pirated vcds today, courtesy of Jeff , our regular vcd peddler. He was formerly a staff with our organisation but took vss a couple of years. I never got round to asking what he really did for a living nowadays, but he's always at our office, lunging around his big black bag, containing loads of vcds and dvds. There's always a new movie title, a new song album or new cartoons , and every time he came round, we became poorer by RM 5 minimum. During the last Raya, he supplied kuih raya and also 'bahan letupan' a.k.a. mercun ( fireworks) of all sorts. Kalau kena tangkap ni, masak ngko jep...




I bought Narnia and The March of the Penguins. Narnia received rave reviews from those who watched it. The March of the Penguins is actually a documentary by some French guy. It was fashioned into a movie, complete with a story line and all. I read about in the papers and decided to buy it.

Tina bought King Kong. Told her that Azah went to the premier screening and thought it was boring. It was nearly 3 hours long and I'm not about to let my children watch some 'orang utan'' broke loose for that long period without my supervision. I have become some sort of Lembaga Penapisan Filem or film screening board for my children. Babah never bothered to watch any of the vcds anyway, maybe because he hardly or easier said, never bought vcd for the children. So the onus felt on me to ensure that those vcds bought is suitable for the children.




The latest Harry Potter was hard to explain to Anis. So after watching it together with Anis for the first time, I hid it away from her. The other Barneys, Teletubbies, nasheeds, doa with children nasheed group, a lot of Shreks, Madagascars , Barbies, Disneys etc. are scrambled in the drawer under the tv cabinet. But I resctricted to only 1 2hr long vcd or 2 short cds per day.
Anis used to watch Barbie everyday until the young ones and Bibik got bored. Nowadays, tv is usually the morning kids' show ( Sesame Street, Pingu, Dora the Explorer etc) while vcd is played once a while .

At night, Anis is hooked to Puteri, Natasha, Impian Ilyana and Trio, those sitcom or drama with pretty girls as the main cast. I , personally do not approve of the way those girls dress and do not find hard to explain to Anis why we should not emulate. She hates gowns and skirts and recently banishes sleeveless shirts from her wardrobe. Although she still wears shorts at home, she prefers long pants or jeans when we go out. Hmm...guess all those skirts and gowns will go to Aina then....
