The Mexican Embassy recently invited T1’s school to enter an international art competition about Mexican Food. One of her favourite subjects is Art so needless to say, she really, REALLY wanted to participate in the competition. The end result is not near enough to Picasso but I absolutely take my hat off to T1 for sitting at the dining table for 2 whole days and 1 night to complete her masterpiece.

Her determination was remarkable for a 6.5 year old and I’ve now learned that the attention span can STRETCH if it is to do with something she wants to do. I kid you not, she started on Friday night with research and ideas and started sketching it out on Saturday morning and sat all throughout Saturday (apart from a short break for TaeKwonDo) and Sunday (skipped Soccer), ONLY stopping for meals and her shower and toilet breaks. She did not watch TV, she did not play her toys, she did play with her sister but only for a bit. She was THAT determined to get it completed as she knew the deadline was on Monday. I had no part in it whatsoever………swear to God.

I didn’t push her, I didn’t question, I only encouraged and gave my comments whenever she asked. I mean, what’s the point of ‘cheating’, right? You’re only lying to yourself……….

So here, I present to you, T1’s first art piece for an international competition. Wish her luck!!!

Title: Malaysians selling Mexican Food to Raise Funds for the Malaysian Orphanage Landslide Victims (and this idea of hers came whilst I was watching the news about it!)

The colourful banner above is actually a canopy roof – LOL, and have you noticed that each girl has a different Malaysian costume? I thought that was awesome – One Malaysia! LOL, and her Avocados are spelt wrongly and look more like pears, LOL, and look at her corn on the left? They look like ACORNS!!! rather than jagung……and I really couldn’t understand why there was a brown floor when there was already a green floor. That big green blob on the right is a cactus……..BLESS HER. What a GREAT effort. I am so proud of her.

The best part of this exercise was that T1 sat and read her World Book to learn about Mexico and she scoured the net to look for Mexican food and what they looked like; and now, she is enriched with some foreign culture and can tell you quite a bit about Mexico! She even knows their currency and how to draw the flag and what those big hats are called and the different kinds of food available in Mexico etc. Seriously? She knows more about Mexico than I do now. Seriously.
