Happy Birthday, Ace!

Ace had a very happy birthday this year...




Well, his birthday was kind of a week long affair... and here's a brief description of all the celebrations he has had and the pressies he has recieved so far...


Pressies received this year:


  • Ang Pow- from Yeye, Nainai, Popo and Gong Gong and zen popo

  • Magic Set- From Me and Max

  • Spiderman Shirt- From Ah Yee and Net Net

  • Panda toy + Writing books- From Shu Shu and Diana Jie Jie

  • Piano with mic - From Teacher Ivy

  • Remote control car- From Tiff, Mel and Germaine
  • A snoopy and grumpy bear soft toy- From Diana's tuition kid

  • Lots of hugs, love and warm wishes- from everyone!

And I must say his celebrations began real early too... early in the month, he celebrated with Ganma Karen and Gandie ZG at the Little Big Club concert... They bought him the best seats in the house and even thought him a light stick to wave in the dark... and after tat, we happily went to eat sakae sushi...

And then we also had breakfast with Megan Ganma...

But mainly, his celebrations revolve some form of food lah... he had quite a few parties being done.. One party was in Yeye's house and there was a cake and lots of food and everyone sing song...

And after that, he had a celebration in school where they sing song for him and he gave out some small little gifts after that. According to his teacher, he told his friends that he had a birthday cake that day and if they were not good boys, they would not get to eat the cake... hahahaaha... guess where he learnt that from???

And then there was a celebration with Evon and Kev at Zi Zai vegeterian restaurant... where he drank too fast and tat is why the last few photos were of him semi naked cos he made his shirt so wet we had to remove it..

Last but not least is of cos our own personal celebration lor. But I guess it was not a very 'successful' celebration so to speak. Since it was his birthday, that meant that he would get to eat something that he liked-- sushi!

So we brought him to sakae sushi.. it all started well since he was really happy there. And then Max told him that we would bring him to choose his own present witha $30 budget. But sadly, we walked around the whole of Tampines Mall and Ace just could not find anything he liked other than the magic set which was actually for 6 year old onwards.. so I was reluctant to buy him the set since I felt it was too difficult.. plus.. the set was beyond his $30 budget...

So in the end, we did not buy anything. To make up for it, we brought him to the arcade.. he won some tickets and won some chocolates but they tasted yucky and so I kept it.. Daddy said he would buy popcorn for Ace to eat in the movies but because the queue was so long, he was in such a huge hurry to go in we just went in.

Initially when they were showing the adverts, Ace was still engaged and ok. By the time the movie started, Ace started to throw a tantrum because he asked how come there was pop corn.. Daddy told him no pop corn but will buy him a cake later... or buy him ice cream later...

But Ace was indignant and proceeded to throw a full force tantrum in the cinema when the show was going on.. to so shut him up, Max went to buy pop corn for him even though the movie has already started. I mean I understand that it must have been disappointing tat one shot, he din get his present and he din get his popcorn tat was promised.. so I know why he felt really upset.. and exhibited such unusual behaviour.

Alas, Transformers was also a bad choice for a movie.. everything was dark.. the robots were dark, the background was dark, there was a lot of dialogue that Ace did not understand... Ace told me before we went in, "Cannot talk loudly in the cinema you know... it is rude..."

But children are inconsistent and have poor memory... After a while, Ace got bored.. started to talk loudly, command me to hold his popcorn for him and complained when i ate "HIS" popcorn (he said, "Eh, I ask you to hold, not to eat!").. all in a very loud voice. If not he asked me about the storyline loudly.. or he would get upset and kick the chair in front of him.. midway he turned around and started to climb up and down his seat and turned around to smile at the other children there. I swear there and then I would never bring him to the movies again...

"I dun like this boring boring show..." he told me 30min before the hsow was due to end and I had to carry him in my arms to make sure he doesnt go running around to disturb other people.

Anyway, when the show finally ended, Max was disappointed cos he felt it was a lousy show. But I guess it was also because he could not concentrate and keep having to put Ace in check.

And when the movie finally ended, it was almost 11 already.. (2.5 hours is really too long for a 4 year old manz) and so there weren't any cakes available.. so we told him we would replace it with ice cream instead.. which made him really happy as well.

The next day, just to make sure we kept our promise, we went shopping for toys again.. I then realized it is so difficult to shop for Ace now that he is older... mostly cos he has strong ideas abt wat he wants and dun want plus he has all sorts of educational toys at home.. there doesnt really seem to be anything else we can buy him...

Thank god we finally found a cheapo magic set tat cost $15. Nevermind that it is more suitable for a 7 year old.. most important is that it is a magic set. And surprisingly, Ace really liked the grumpy bear and the snoopy and hugged them to sleep.. so because we rather he hug a happy bear, we bought him a Tenderheart bear to replace the grumpy one.. we told h im we bought him tenderheart bear has a big heart and is a leader.. just like him.. plus he is orangy in colour...Ace's fav colour..

But I guess he was happy overall lah.. cos by the time he went to Trio Center on saturday, he still told Peiqin that it is his birthday and Teacher Peiqin still sang birthday song for him ;) hahaha...
