Gong Gong's Present From Macau

Gonggong went for a trip with his friends to Macau and when he came home, I asked Ace to call him...

As usual, Gongong was embarrassed whenever he gets alot of attention and after like a few seconds, he handed the phone over to my mum...

No one.. at least I didnt know that my dad bought Ace anything.

When Ace visited the next day, Gonggong gave him his present.... a pair of cool sports shoes:)

While I was chatting with Ace, Ace told me this pair of shoes is very nice and that he likes it very much.

So I messaged my mum later and told her "Wah, daddy has such good taste and chose a design that Ace likes leh..."

To which my mum replied.. "Only his two grandsons got presents lor.. the rest of us did not get anything...

I commented to Ace that Gonggong is very clever and knows what size he wears and Ace told me, "Of course he knows.. the week before he went to Macau, Gongong asked me what is my shoe size and I told him already.."

Then I asked my dad and he said he heard that shoes in HK were cheap and since he intended to go spend a day in HK, he jotted down both Cay and Ace's shoe sizes and bought them a pair of shoes each:)

And upon chatting with Gongong the next time I visited, I found out why everyone else had no presents... cos the trip was a little over the budget for him. Apparently, this group of old uncles all had leg pain, this pain that pain.. so hor, they travelled around in cab... which was expensive...

ANd then GOnggong also complained that the food there was very expensive... much more expensive than he remembered... BUT hor, the last time he visited HK was I think when I was one! hahahahahaha...

Chee Ko Pek!

The other day, one of Max's secondary school mate posted pictures they took during that time...

I saved those pictures and showed them to Ace later... and asked him if he knew who this is...

The following conversation ensued...

Ace: Nope!

Me: Are you sure you dunno him??? U cannot recognize your own father????

*the 💡 in his mind lights up as the realization hits him... *

Ace: Aiyoh... How I know... In this photo he looks like a p̶e̶r̶v̶e̶r̶t̶ chee ko pek mah... How I know is him???? *giggles*

Max: you are so dead!  *ANGRY FACE*

Photobomber Ace

 So the other day we were on our way to our Lions Club meeting and we decided to bring Ace along... I wanted to take a picture of this nice clip that my sister bought for me.. while I was trying to take a selfie in the car, our good fren kept photobombing me lor...


 Photobomber had the cheek to tell me, "I was just trying to lick the most delicious ice cream in the world ... and it tasted of HAIR! "
 ANyway, while we were having meeting, he was bz playing with the new lego set that his dad bought for him...

But of course he made himself useful also lah.. we got Ace to help us take group photo afterwards:) hahaha..

The Claw

Ace was watching youtube and suddenly got very excited.. He ran out and asked me for rough paper....

Didn't know what he was up to.. passed him some paper and left him to do his own thing...

He ended up making these claw things that he played with for some time..

The next day, he brought them to Popo's house to show off...



Cayden saw them and thought they were very cool and kept saying he also want them.. and so, Ace made one for him but realized it was too big for Cay's tiny fingers... so he tried to make with a smaller piece of paper... and then both boys were happy..

Popo liked it very much and said it will be useful for storytelling and asked Ace to make another 10 for her so she can use them for storytelling in her school ;) hahahhaa...

That's Ace making them for Popo in yellow color...

As for me, I am just glad this took his attention away from mobile games for a little while...

Cheese!

Did I tell you Ace is very into Cheese now?

This atas little boy actually enjoys BLUE CHEESE! Another favorite of his is SMOKED CHEESE.

THe other day, Max bought some Ace some cheese and afterwards went overseas for work...

So Ace came home from school and started eating the cheese.....

After he finished, he nonchalantly told me, "Next, I am going to do some Calverts!"

I dun even know wat he talking about and what sort of cheese Calverts are lor! Hahahaha...

Shi Zi Lu Kou

Every once in a while, it is nice to take a break and do something different:)

Usually, Saturdays are rather bz.... cos have to go many places and do many things :)

Took a breather the other day to go Shi Zi Lu Kou with Annie:) hahaha

First stop.. Jiao zi and suan la tang at Tall Girl Restaurant:)




Then we walked further down to see what else we can eat...

And walked past these beautiful houses...

So quaint and such beautiful colours right?

Then there is the elegant one....

ANd the warm homey feel one...

Saw some beautiful flowers and wonder.. why this tree.. which bears ALL PURPLE FLOWERS... bears ONE WHITE flower!?


We finally decide to sit down at Sinpopo..




But we only had stomachs for desserts:) Hahahaha..

And spent the whole time chatting there:) Till... it was time to go home...

THanks to Max for taking care of Ace so I could enjoy myself with a girls day out:)

Tai Tai High Tea

 Now that most of my friends have their own children and that everyone is bz with work and family, it has been rather difficult to find time to gather and meet:)

The other day, since Ace was going to be in school till very late.... and since everyone was free, we decided to meet up for Taitai high tea:) Since it was such a rare occasion, we took a really really long time to decide on where to go cos everyone had different idea of how they wanted to spend this precious time together:)


 Finally we settled for High Tea at Artistique:) Not bad.. the food is quite good and the pricing is decent;)



 Even the button you press for service is classy:)





All in all a very pleasant afternoon:)

5 Points For Abgenation!

 Ace came home very happy the other day and told me that his Abgenation group got 5 extra points today cos they made this plant for science....

Ace said he was the one who came up with this idea and the plant had roots but it dropped out:) hahahahaha...

But good try lah:) I am quite impressed also...

Wes Visits


 And so, my penpal, Wes, and his family visits AGAIN:)

And this time... Max is also here in Singapore.. so it is a rare chance that both our families can meet:) woohoo!:)

So because our guests made request to go somewhere with all the foods they havent ate yet, we thought that there is no better place than the Fengshan Blk 85 market! Hahahahaha... Want to eat anything also have lor:)


We went to pick them and passed by Geylang Serai.. so pretty hor ;)

Though the kids last met each other in 2013, they sort of instantly continued from where they left off. Likely because for Ace, it is like being back in Dubai with his international school classmates... and also because AL is such a dear and is Ms Congeniality personified! She is so chatty and friendly with anyone... and everyone! I am looking forward to Ace growing out of his chow bin face and moving into this chatty, friendly phase... Cos I noticed kids at around 10, 11 are usually emo... but upon reaching like 13, they sort of start to open up :) hahaha...

 The kids bonding over their common love of mobile games:) hahaha

 And taking selfies...



 And this sort of gathering of course calls for a group photo.. and since Wes has the longest arms... he gets the honor of holding the camera:) hahaha

 And of course must take one with my pen pal mah:)

 Ace was super excited to see how much taller he has grown as compared to Uncle Wes. The last time we met up, Ace told Uncle Wes he wants to be taller than him in future!:) hahahaha...

 Proof that the boy grew a fair bit.. BUT I think he is far from being taller than Wes!

 Round two for dessert :)

The "beer buddies" who made a date to have beer together the next time cos there was not enough time to grab one together this time:)

Looking forward to when they visit again!:) woo hoo!:)
