"Anything you can do...."

"I can do it better", that was probably what Hasya was thinking when she saw her Ayah doing the exercises for his back.

Ayah was given some diagrams/pictures by the physiotherapist on how to do some stretching and back exercises for his slipped discs, and he has been quite disciplined in actually doing them at home. And the kids seem to be quite amused every time they see him lying on his tummy when he does them, and they started calling Ayah "The Walrus" (it had always been "Fatto Whalo" before this...:))


The Diagram


Anyway, a few times when Ayah was doing the exercises, Hasya would follow him, and here are some pics taken of her showing Ayah on how to do it properly - HER way, that is!



"Here's how you raise your legs, Ayah!"


"And this is how you arch your back!"


"While you're at it, see if your toes can touch your head, old man..."


"This is how you do a bridge, Ayah"


"Higher!!"


And later - "Hey, make sure your fingers are touching your ankles, okay? Easy, peasy..."

(By the way, while Hasya was doing all these exercises, Hilman was exercising his thumbs and fingers - with his PS2, in the background)

Errrrr....Hasya, dear...we don't want to make a pretzel out of your Ayah, okay?!!

* For the uninitiated, Hasya used to be in the Selangor pelapes team for rhythmic gymnastics. But we decided to pull her out of it due to certain circumstances and because of a certain individual. Read about it here.
