爸爸读故事-哥妹俩-一份心意

Spent some sweet time with my kids during the year-end school holidays, to read comics with them together. And I would like to share whatever done via internet all around the world. It is fun.

By the way, these are 'raw' uploads and no editing is done for better presentation and a thousand apologies for that.

The story is written and drawn by a famous Malaysian Cartoonist, and I think the story lines are inspired by some famous Sci-fic movies, such as Terminator, iRobot, The 5, Wall-E and Matrix.

It is fun to read, to watch and to discover something new in life together with kids, but as an adult, we have other things to do, e.g forever never ending house whole chores and works commitments. So, you can just download all my youtube files by Youtube Downloader and play them at once for your kids to view. No more pestering from kids for more youtube stuffs. enjoy !
