Nanoboy!

You know, one of my mentors told me before that 人是追求快乐，逃离痛苦的动物. That means that humans either chase after happiness or run away from pain.

We are usually both but you tend to prefer one over the other. Ace is definitely a chase after happiness type of guy.

A week before, Ace's Gandie Zhiguang had a roadshow at the bookfair and his company, Scrawl Studios, has some stage show to promote their new cartoon series, NANOBOY.

Gandie still passed us some NANOBOY stickers and Ace loved it so much that he promptly pasted on his bed. So for the past one week, the reward of watching NANOBOY was used to entice and motivate him to do everything from keeping toys, to wearing his shoes by himself, to finishing his dinner to going to school.. you name it, we've used it. (Sorry, Zhiguang, we've abused your creation...)

Finally, it was saturday. Finally, Ace finished his right brain training lesson. Finally, Ace finished his lunch.

"Are we watching Nano boy now?"Ace asked.

Because we were way too early, we told him we had to wait somemore and so he got upset and went into tantrum.. kept wanting Daddy to carry him. We walked around the Anime Fiesta nearby and saw lots of interesting costumes and finally, it was time for Nanoboy!

While we were walking back from Carrefour toward the convention center, every 3-5 steps, Ace would ask me, "Are we going to watch Nanoboy now?" "We go and watch Nano boy ah?" "我们去看Nanoboy啊?"

I nearly fainted!

Anyway, Ace took part in the contest and a question correctly:) It surprised me cos in the past, he wouldnt have put up his hand to want to answer the question but he did! :) And he shouted out the answer loud and clear into the mike! I wish I could take a picture of that moment ;)

Anway, he won a free Nanoboy poster and some more stickers! No prizes for guessing where the stickers went to... YES, his bed..

As for the poster, he just kept bugging me to paste it on the cupboard at the doorway so that the first thing he sees when he goes into his room is NANOBOY! :) hahaha...

After all the excitement, it seemed that he didn't really want it to end. After the event, we were deciding whether to go for tea and he told us, "I am not tired..." but by the time we reached the cafe, he was totally knocked out! hahahah....
