3 Cai 1 Tang 2

Ever since the show San Cai Yi Tang 2 is starting to show on tv, Ace has been telling me that he wants to be San Cai Yi Tang 2.... I take it to mean that he would like to be a chef...



Anyway, he is amused mainly because when he goes to school and says "San cai yi tang 2" to his friends, they laugh and find it hilarious... so every now and then, he would say he wants to be san cai yi tang 2...



The other day, he kept pestering me to make him a chef's hat.. when I made it using a plastic bag that was white in colour, he was very unhappy and insisted that I had to make it using white paper...

So in the end, I masking taped two pieces of white paper together into a barrel, put a VOTE DAVID LEE pin I got from the lions club convention on it and gave it to Ace and he was finally happy...


But leh, it seems he still finds that his play outfit was not complete, he quickly ran to find masking tape, taped it on the table and started scribbling on it... and all I saw was "ACE CHUA 3*1*2"



And I was wondering what 'Ace Chua 321 meant...

"No lah... not Ace Chua 321. It is Ace Chua, 3 Cai 1 Tang 2!" Orh.. the gibberish shape represented the words he did not know how to write.. CAI is replaced with a leaf like shape and Tang is replaced with a circle thing that looked like a bowl of soup...

HILARIOUS! Hahahaha...

Anyway, he happily posed for a few photos for me and went on to make some DIM SUM for me using his play dough set.. proudly donated to him by Tashi and Oracle.. hahaha...

Time flies... In a twinkling of an eye.. Ace has grown from baby to toddler to a little boy!

But his 'pattern' has not changed one bit... here's a pic of him I took when he was sleeping the other day.. compared to the photos I took when he was a few mths old! Hahaha..

As they say, leopard can never change its spots and old habits do die hard:)

Mr Monkey

The latest game that Ace is playing with me is this game called Mr Monkey. Actually, Ace invented the game..one day we were lying on the bed an he started using a falsetto voice and called me Mr Monkey and pointed to the two yellow bolsters and said that they were bananas...

The next day, while I was taking nap, he came and disturb me by saying that I took his bananas in the same falsetto voice... and then he announced that he wants to disturb me...

So I told him that when he sleeps, I will wake him the next day by pretending to be Mr Monkey too...

The next day, my grandma had a hard time waking him cos he played for a long time before he slept... so I tickled his legs and used a falsetto voice and told him, "Oh Mr Monkey, look at these two bananas! I want my bananas!" (He was wearing yellow pants that day... ).

When he did not wake up, I hit is buttocks and said, "Wah, here are two delicious peaches! Mr Monkey, wake up, wake up... I found 2 peaches..."

And when he still did not wake up, I ruffled his hair and said, "Come on, Mr Monkey, I found a coconut!" And Ace just inisted on closing his eyes and smiling secretly in his "sleep". He finally did wake up and from now on, every night before he sleeps, he wants to play the Mr Monkey game but he has since changed it to Mummy Monkey and Son Monkey game intead of Mr Monkey... and he even added variety like we have more different fruits as well... the mouth are strawberries and the ears are oranges, etc... and he still speaks in a falsetto voice...

But he is more creative in that the monkeys dun just eat food but also do things like slide down branches (the bolsters) or play hide and seek on the trees... HAHAHAHA...

Looks like it will stay our BEFORE SLEEP game for quite a while...

The other time he was in a pretending to be baby game... every nite before we slept, he will run his hands over his face like "FACE OFF" and say, "SHING" and everytime he says that, he transforms into a baby and when he wants to talk, he will "SHING" and transform back into a boy.. this game lasted for about 2 weeks...

Let's see how long this one will stay...

PS: When Daddy came home, I told him about this game and somehow, the two "perverted" men.. big and little decided that the armpit will be the strawberries from now on.. yew.....:S Hahahahaha.....

Art Class- Painting Of A Bell

This week's art class was a rather fast one... That's because this week's theme was painting a bell.. and the bell was so small.. Ace finished it within an hour and decorated it with flowers and lollipops...



And he was happily ringing the bell...



Since he had so much time left, his teacher gave him a paper to draw and he decided to draw a birthday cake because he said his birthday was coming soon...



Funnily enough, when I asked to take a pic of his drawing, he insisted on turning the paper over and drawing somemore first.. he drew a circle and divided the circle into four using two lines and wrote the numbers "1, 2, 3, 4" inside... I wondered what it was and he said it was a countdown of when his daddy is coming back... when i went home and described it to my mum, she said she was the one who taught him how to count down...



He even added his daddy's name and put a tick on it.. cos he has already started counting down.. HAHAHAHA....



Anyway, when he reached home, he took a few plastic bags and shook the bell and shouted "Karang guni! Karang guni!"



Hahahaha.. this is the first time I see karang guni with such a colourful bell lor! ;)

Well Behaved Ace

The other day, I was told that my mum would be busy for the whole saturday and my dad says he is going out.. so out of desperation, I decided that I will bring Ace along for my 5 hour convention seminar.

That is not an easy decision to make given that Ace can hardly sit still... so I had to plan intricately for this one....

First, I prepared some things that will engage him like like colour pencils, pens, notebooks so that he can do drawing... and next, I prepared a few snacks and some water... and the last bit of preperation was to preframe him that he had to behave or i would not bring him there again.. and I made him promise to sleep during the convention...

So on the day, he said he wanted to wear a shirt and a tie.. and he asked me if I could also buy him a jacket because he wanted to dress just like daddy... so I dressed him up and asked him if he wanted to do his hair.. he said he did and so I did the chicken hairdo for him that he liked...

When we reached there.. for the first hour.. he was happy to draw.. eat some of the snacks... but leh, after a while, he forgot all he promised me and so I had ot bring him out of the room and repeat our agreements.. "If not we will go home now..." And so he agreed...

I gave him an assignment and got him to draw a card for the speaker... his favourite Uncle Arthur... and so he drew a card... and then he spent another hour eating some more snacks and taking pictures of himself and the convention...

And then I reminded him that he promsied to sleep during the convention and so he slept through the next 2 hours...

Finally in the last hour, he woke and listened to Uncle Arthur's talk and it was funny because he enjoyed the talk so much, he was laughing together with the crowd and because his laugh was a cute baby, toddler sort of laugh than an adult laugh, his voice stood out and so many people turned around and looked at him and smiled at him.. amused that he actually understood the talk and the jokes....

And because despite a little bit of impatience, I felt he was really well behaved (5 hours leh!) and so reward him by bringing him to eat mac donald dinner:)

Afterward, he insisted on going gai gai with Zhenyin and so we walked around a bit before we headed home.. when I reached home, I was totally bushed... PHEW, what a day...
