GAP Casting Call

So we went to the GAP Casting Call a few weeks ago at The Gardens. Did y’all go? I met one of my readers btw *waves to her if she reads this*.

We arrived at 3-ish pm and people were already queuing. Each participant was given a number based on first come first serve. Raina and Ayra were the 127th and 128th participants of the day!


There were GAP clothing provided for the photoshoot. I was hoping the lady would give Ayra that hot pink jacket but I guess it wasn’t in her size – Ayra was given a purple logo hoodie to wear instead. Raina didn’t wear any tho. It’s either because they didn’t provide size 0-3 months or maybe because Raina was “GAP enough” as she was wearing everything from babyGap that day, except for her booties! ;p


Ayra fell asleep in the car and she was cranky when she woke up. She was even crankier when we arrived because the place was crowded (she hates crowds)! I was worried she might throw her tantrums – melalak/meronta-ronta depan camera or throw the word-thingy or baring atas lantai or whatever that would be embarrassing.

As for Raina, budak kecik ni cool saja. She was in her own little world, sucking her fingers and minding her own business in mummy’s arm.

In fact she was so lost in her own world that she didn’t see the cameraman yang duk agah-agah dia sampai orang lain pun join sama. It was kinda funny! She did smile in the end, altho I don’t know what or who she was smiling at.

Ayra came to make sure no one kacau her “abik”.

And then it was Ayra’s turn.

“Ayra, look at the camera!”

“Smile Ayra. Come on, SMIIIILEEEE!”

But she didn’t. Heck, she didn’t even want to hold that word-thingy.
Oh well, at least she didn’t cry even tho there was a crowd of people watching!

So here are the photos of Ayra and Raina.

Voting ends 31st December 2010 (for entries from The Gardens). If it’s not too much to ask, please cast your votes for my girls – Sharifah Ayra Adelia and Sharifah Raina Aryssa on the GAP Casting Call Facebook! :)

p/s: Thank you so much for those who had voted!

Let’s hear from the kids

Kids don’t operate like grown-ups do. Sometimes I wonder what’s inside the mind of my 22 months old daughter. It’s fascinating to see just how curious she is about everything around her. She would poke, pull, push, climb, kick, bang, throw whatever she could get her hands on. She’s like a mini scientist – there’s always something new to discover!

“This is so cool! I press this button and there’s a light flashing. And ohh what’s that sound?”

Mommy look! I can fit in here, you can’t!”

“Oh hey, I could actually sit in this thing! Row row row my boat…”

“I’m gonna help dad by making more holes on this thing”

“This is actually fun. Dumping the clothes out of this basket and scatter them!”

Well, I never knew a printer could be a place to stuff CDs, pencils and bits of papers (yes, I found them stuck in the tray!), or how a bookshelf can be turned into a hide-and-seek spot, or how one could have so much fun playing with dirty smelly clothes! It just shows that kids perceive things differently from us adults. And because of this differences, Dutch Lady is having a Facebook contest for all mothers called, “Let’s hear from the kids!”.

To participate in the contest, you need to sign up as a fan of Dutch Lady Facebook page and click on the ‘contest’ tab. This contest is split between kids of two age groups: 1-6 years old and 6-12 years old. All you need to do is answer these 3 simple questions on behalf of your kid:

1) How tall is mummy?
2) What does mummy work as?
3) What does mummy always say to you?

This is what my 3-year old neighbour answered when being asked the questions:

1) Mummy is tall like Dibo The Gift Dragon.
2) Mummy works in the kitchen.
3) “Go ask daddy”.

Anyway, the contest will be running for 4 weeks starting from 26th October until 22nd November 2010 and each submission will be posted for the public to view and vote for their favorite entry by clicking on ‘Like’. Of course there’ll be prizes! At the end of 4 weeks, the top 3 entries that receive the most number of ‘Likes’ will win:

1st prize: RM1,000 cash + Dutch Lady Milk products
2nd prize: RM800 cash + Dutch Lady Milk products
3rd prize: RM500 cash + Dutch Lady Milk products

So let’s hear from the kids, shall we?
C’mon mommies, this would be fun!
