Welcome to our Lala Land where everything you see here are Fantasies

Once upon a time, there were two curious girls named 

Sandra & Evelyn. 

They found a painting on the wall. 

and were memorized by it.

They accidentally pulled the frame 

and water started to gush out of it..

And they started their fantasies ......

Evelyn & Sandra in Wonder Land

Sailing by the river

OMG!

 Sandra was sucked into the pool

Evelyn came to rescue

They both went into the sea.

Woke up in the morning & realized that they have turned into

little mermaids under the Sea

Little mermaids met Spider-man and 

immediately they fell in love

They found out Spider-man has an affair.

Out of anger, they killed spiderman &

ruled the world.

All men shall now obey

They love to dance

So Do You Think You Can Dance?

Dance like Michael Jackson

                                                   Ballet

Disco Dance

Jump & Jump

Pole Dance

They love adventures and often get into trouble

Escaped from the crocodile!

Escaped from the dead!

The side view.

 

Caught by an elephant

Caught by the cat

However, they were strong enough to fight back

But they couldn't escape from God's hand

Save Me!

So they prayed to God

God listened to their prayer and sent a bird to rescue them

But they fell off from the sky

.

.

.

And became

ANGELS

~The end~
