Why Nai Nai Jia?

Me and Max often wondered why always prefered to go to Nai Nai's house versus Popo's house.

Initially we thought it was becuase he got to visit them a little less often... but then we realized that even if we visited them everyday in the week, he still prefers to go there.

And then we took to asking him why and he says it is becuase he gets to eat fruits there. But that is a strange reason because in Popo's house, there is always so many different types of food.

In the end, our conclusion is that our parents show their love in different ways and he just enjoys Nai Nai and Yeye's way more.

When he goes to Popo's house, Popo is often back late and by the time she is back, she is usually really tired and so Ace usually gets to like play with his mountain loads of toys there. The toys there however are usually educational like LEGO, etc.. sometimes if Popo is free, she will do a little bit of artwork or homework with him. Gong gong's idea of showing love is to shower him with lots of food.... pancakes, strawberries, chee cheong fun... and of course, gong gong's favourite past time is "Ace, come here and sit beside gong gong and WATCH TV TOGETHER with gong gong..."



Now change the scene to Nai Nai's house. When Ace is at NaiNai's house, he has loads of toys as well and mostly purchased at his request like guns, swords, remote control cars, bicycle. He loves Nai Nai's cooking and they also always buy fruits for him. And from the time he reaches, there is always someone engaged in some activity together with him like for example, Yeye will sit and play the toys with him or they will take out a piece of paper and draw together...

I guess he just liked it that there was someone always beside him, engaged with him, paying attention to him...
