C's Birthday

Ace was invited to a birthday party... the type where they go watch a movie together and enjoy a a meal together...

Ace C loves horses, the night before, we had spent a whole night trying to shop for C. Ace initially wanted to buy model horses but leh, we couldnt find one that Ace thinks C will like as he says C likes brown horses... and the horses we saw were all other colours.. plus many of them were packaged in purple packaging.. and Ace thinks it is too girly.. in the end, he settled on a Horse Poster and a really nice puzzle  with a nice horse photo tat can be framed..

I remembered the time wrongly so we arrived an hour early.. since we were early, we went walk walk in Virgin Megastore, one of Ace's favourite shops here in Dubai:)

Saw this new item called a 3Doodler.. it is like a 3D printer in the shape of a pen!

They started off as a kickstarter project and is finally launched all over the world.. including in the UAE...

They have got refills too...

Ace was quite intrigued... I din check the price but i figure this one is definitely not cheap... So I prayed hard he wun ask me to buy one:) wahahahhaa

Just love walking around in Vigin:) They have so many interesting things... eg... this

Dun need to stir your kopi anymore!

One cup can bake everything!:)

USD Napkin anyone?:P

Came to the music section and then my son picked out a guitar and started plucking.. and then very cooly said, "Aiyah, this one is out of tune leh..." and put it back.. Wah! I am so impressed leh! Made me feel like our investment into his guitar lessons are sooooooooooo worth it!:) wahahaha

And then hor, best part is.. he walk walk walk... picked out another guitar and started playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for me!:) hahahaha

Max on the other hand was at the book section and he simply loves this book! BEER MAKES DADDY STRONG... SO HIM!

This one says:
Toy Story 3...
It was nice and dark in the cinema... so no one saw him cry...

 

$800 for a handbag... Daddy will NEVER understand THAT

Daddy's HAIR.. The Photographs help him remember....

Then Ace went to play with this board...

And I discovered something really interesting! So cute right? Dun need green fingers also can grow herbs for your kitchen!

THat is me and Ace sitting down for a while to rest... while Max walks around the sports shop...

And then once Ace went to the party, it was time for a 3 hour date for me and Max! :) woo hoo!

Went for a friday brunch.. free flow white bubbly wine!

And the food is very very good and there was a very wide variety too.. regret eating breakfast that day!:) wahahaha

This next few ones are taken after Max has had a few glasses of the white bubbly wine...

Which explains why he is acting funny...

And such a lecher! But I read somewhere that if your man loves you.. they will usually be lecherous towards you! Wahahaahahahhaa...

I dun remember what this picture is about... Maybe he is complaining why I only drank four glasses:) wahahahaahaha.. anyway, we very xiao on.. we even cut apple ourselves and add into our bubbly and make something like SANGRIA:) wahahaha

One very good thing that came out of the fact that Ace had to go to the birthday party was that we now have a new system in place to teach him the value of money.

For this party, Ace had to come up with his own budget about what and how much to buy... and then he had to work and do chores to earn enough to pay for it. For this time only, we will pay first and he will work to pay his dad back....

BUT any future parties or things that he wants to buy, he will need to do chores to earn the money and save up for it. We will not prefund again so if he does not have enough saved, too bad for him:)

And Ace's very first lesson.. before we said he had to pay for the present himself, his budget for the present was 200 dirhams... when we say he got to pay himself by working chores... budget dropped to 60 dirhams! Wahaahahah.. But I told him cost of movie and pop corn and food... add up, cannot buy 60 dirhams present cos is too little to cover the cost. Buy present have to buy something that can cover the cost plus a little more lah... unless it is something you make and then cannot put monetary value to it...

Ace very boh liao.. used paper clips to make a big chain.. cos he liked to watch PIMP MY RIDE on MTV.. and the host is a hip hop rap star called Xibit.... and he always wears a large chain around.. this is Ace's RAPPER cool look... wahahaha

WHen he got tired of that, he went to take his glue gun to make his own 3D printer! wahahahahahaha.. creative or not??:)

He did this strip and then tied it to a pen and made a message for us:)

Phew.. save money! I think glue stick is cheaper than the 3Doodler!:) wahahaha
