Ace The Builder

Well, to Ace, anyone who is in overalls and looks like he is building something will be known as Bob The Builder...

As there is some upgrading work going on at our place, there are lots of chinese and indian workers walking around the estate and everytime Ace sees them, he exclaims, "Look mummy! The bob the builder uncle

Recently, Max brought Ace to some pasar malam that was selling toys. Apparently, there were many different types of sets like policemen, doctor and of cos, Ace saw a "bob the builder set" and fell in love with it. So Max bought him the set.


(Look like Phua Choo Kang or Bob the Builder leh??? hahahaha)

It was a set that came with hammer, screws, bolts, screwdriver and best of all, a yellow safety hat like the one bob the builder wears. Ace loves the hat cos the hat has a light on it and every day, he just keeps wearing the hat and walking around with the light on.. he even stares at himself in my full length mirror after wearing the hat for a long time.

Thanks to the Bob The Builder hat, his engineering set had a revival time.. meaning after being neglected for so long, Ace got interested in it and took it out to build a few things.... And his creativity and mobile skills has improved by leaps and bounds. He now can build transformers (optimus prime he says it is), motor cycles, aeroplanes, houses...

Alas, I still cannot find the cowboy set that he wants.. sigh...

PS: Ace is very excited. They finally removed all the aluminium boards around the lift upgrading area and we can see the half finished lift and lift landing from our house now. Ace keeps telling me, "Mummy, our lift is going to be ok soon... hahaha.. that newly upgraded lift tat comes right to our doorstep is OUR LIFT in Ace's eyes.. because of the new lift, Ace happily announced to me that we are going to have a new house... Children are just so wonderful...
