Barbie Doll vs Baby Corn
The price for a pack of Barbie Doll consists of 1 doll, 3 handbags, 3 pairs of clothing and 3 pairs of shoe is equivalent to the price of 50 kg rice. “Boleh beli 5 kampit beras”, I’m sure my mother would say that, if I mention this to her.
Watching the young girls in my family playing with the costly Barbie dolls, made me want to recall back the old days how my sister and I owned our dolls. Mother made them using pieces of cut linen; just a simple doll with round head and hands stretches side-wards. I just made one here, exactly like the one mother made before, except for the color being white not yellow.
Today, I don’t see young girls plucked them to play with; only mothers do but for other reason, cooked them.
One of the reasons that caused our cost of living very high is pampering our children with expensive toys… hmm what to do.

you know queen bee..I never had the luxury to play with a barbie doll last time…not even a corn doll..
I can understand that.. not all parents want to spare more on expensive toys like the barbie; there’s a lot more to think about, like children education etc.. and of course not everybody have the chance to plant corn.

I never knew the corns got name ones based on the color of the ‘hair’
I had 1 barbie in my kiddy days… a birthday present from an aunt 
It was a Hawai Barbie… and I wanted to grow my hair long n curl it like the doll then.
They did not have name; we gave them name.
I used to have long brown hair when I was young but turned black as I get older… I bought one mermaid for my niece birthday last Nov.

i love Barbie dolls but i always tell my daughter that all dolls are the same.. of course now she can’t demand much. Ur mum very creative lah… so cute dia punya design tu.. im sure you were happy wt that doll that ur mum did for you kan.
Good lah your daughter; i’ve seen girls who cried loud in supermarket because parent refused to get what she wanted. It doen’t need creativity to make a simple botak doll like that..mum just ikat2 saja bah.
