Geh Kiang


There is a hokkien saying, "Kiang toh ho.. mai geh kiang..." which means it is good to be clever, but dun try too hard to be clever and end up doing stupid things.

Ace tried to geh kiang (pretend to be clever) that day.

Ever since has has managed to conquered the slides at the playgrounds (he can now climb up the ladders, go up the slide and slide down ALL BY HIMSELF), he has decided that popo's house is a playground as well.

Now, he climbs from the floor to the coffee table, coffee table to the chair, chair to the dining table to get food.. isn't he a born athlethe? hahaha...

The other day, he climbed onto Zhen popo's bed and then he tried to sit down and put his feet through the rails. In the end, his bum was hanging in the air and he had to use his arms to support his weight.

Initially, he found it very fun and even smiled at me at waipo. Me and waipo smiled at each other knowingly and smiled at him and sit there and waited to see what will happen next.

As he started to get more and more tired, his facial expression start to change but he still tried to grin and bear with it.. and finally, when he could not take it anymore, he started crying for help.. hahaha....

He has since stopped trying to repeat this stunt :)
