For many years I was the only girl in the house and I did
everything with my two older brothers, Christopher and Brendan. Even after my
younger sister, Kimberley, was born, it was still only the three of us who did
everything together because she was too young. Basically, this meant that there
really was not much room for Barbie dolls or masak-masak sets (I did not mind, really). Playtime and the weekends usually comprised:
However
there were two things we loved more than anything else in the world - Michael
Jackson and our Lego set and believe me, that's the truth!

After years and years of building skyscrapers, warcraft machinery, firearms and the odd-house or two (I was after all, a girl), I often found myself yearning for more. After watching
at least a dozen times, I wanted to see them move. I wanted
animation, I wanted them to tell a story. Suffice to say, 3-pairs of hands
were never really enough. So you can only imagine my delight when I
accidentally came across a whole collection of StopMotion Mini Story videos
filmed with Lego! The icing on my Lego cake? A Michael Jackson tribute!! I
squealed, jumped and cheered enough for my brothers to come see what all the
fuss was about - then they started buzzing with excitement too!!
My heart
and spirit soared with every movement. Who knew there was a whole community of LegoLovers like me out there? There
were others who wanted to see them come to live! I wasn't alone!!
It was
amazing! Sorta like having one of my childhood dreams come true. Today, even I
try my hand at Stop Motion mini Lego movies on my Mac!
Now,
there's only one thing missing: an opportunity to immerse myself in all that is
Lego! To take the experience to a whole new level! Although I do have some money
left in my MAYBANK Savings Account - I
was hoping to use that to invest in a brand-new LEGO
set!
Please Sir, may I have tickets to Legoland?
