My Son Thinks That A DSLR Camera Is A Toy

The other day, we were walking around the mall and walked into what me and Ace terms as Daddy's toy store...  an electronics store that sells all sorts of gadgets...

And Ace kept pulling my shirt and saying, "Mummy, can you come... can you please come.. i want to go there and play..." I thought he was thinking of going to the apple product section to play with the ipad/ipadmini/iphone and I said he can go and play by himself.. so he happily ran away....

I walked around for a while and decided to go back and look for him...

Instead of playing with an iproduct, I found Ace holding on to a DSLR and fidgeting with it and trying to take photos!

See,the action like quite pro right?:P

All thanks to Kerr gor gor who lent him his DSLR when we went out together lor.. I hope he is NOT going to ask me to buy him a DSLR next...

Cannot resist taking photos of these antique phones.. cos I know CCC is going to love them :) wahahahahaha...

Then we walked around the mall and saw this very cute sofa.. so very Alice In Wonderland..:)

Guess what interesting thing I saw.. it is a cake pop maker!

For a moment, I was tempted to buy one to make cake pops.. but after thinking through, I think i am quite happy to eat my square, rectangle or watever shape cake I make from my happy call pan.. but I can think of someone who will like this!:)

Packing The House

Ace is having a two week term break before winter term starts. Since two weeks is quite a long time, I told him we will plan what to do during the two weeks.. we arranged to play with different things and do homework... and just so I can be a little bit more relaxed, I added in PACK THE HOUSE....

Day 1: Pack his book shelf.. not bad.. he took initiative to wipe every one of his books:)

But when it came to sorting his books, he sort of did it anyhow... so I had to help him lah.. so now finally the book shelf is neat.. and since he was the one who packed it.. he knows how much hard work it is right... he has been trying to keep it neat:)

I posted this on FB and a friend commented that my son very ke lian.. i told him if Ace not ke lian now.. then will be I very ke lian and his future wife very ke lian lor:) wahahahahah... this is good training mah.. anyway, Ace is very proud of himself that he did it and that he is independent:)

Few days later, time to pack his clothes drawer... not bad, his folding skills is quite good..

Too bad though the holiday is too short.. we planned for clearing up the living room but did not have time for it.. looks like "I" will have to be the one doing it... dam...

PS: In the end, I ended the one doing it... Max says he is not used to all the extra space without toys lying around.. wahahaha:) And I forbid Ace to take out any toys to play over the weekend cos then at least can look neat for one weekend!:) wahahahahah

Christmas Day At Jumeriah Beach Residence

We decided to have a special christmas lunch.... and so as to avoid the crowd, instead of ang moh food, we opted for dim sum at this place called Da Shi Dai...

Max cannot decide what to eat...

They even had a dim sum brunch:) And our fav sambal chilli!

Very happy Ace:)

Nothing to do so take photos of our own funny faces:)

We ordered a stir fry...

A fried bee hoon that is very very decent.. tastes like zi char type of bee hoon..

And hong kong style plain cheong fun...

Dumplings....

And this panfried veggie pau which tastes very good!:)

And of cos must order carrot cake lah ;)

Mmmm.. yummy!

Since we are in the area, Max thought it might be a good idea tow alk around.. cos hor, the last time he said he came is like when he first arrived in Dubai and since then he has never been here because it is always so crowded.. that is why he dun like to come...  As we drove around, I noticed that all around, all we see are just ang mohs.. and because the weather is cool and all that, all of a sudden, I feel like I am back in Switzerland during our honeymoon!:)

And we were so happy to find parking space cos we realized there is a beach nearby...

While walking away, we saw this really bling bling car.. it is red with sort of shiny speckles within...

And even the LEXUS logo got blinged up:) wahahahha..

I think is got money no place to spend..

And then.. we discovered the beach!

Check this out.. the only place in the whole of dubai where you can see people in their bikinis!!!!

Ace trying to build sandcastles;)

Ace looking down on the floor and searching for TREASURE:)

Such beautiful clouds on a beautiful day:)

Some even brought umbrella lor:)

Alamak.. red like lobster and STILL suntanning.. If I may add, that was something like 2pm in the afternoon!

More beautiful clouds...

Ace found two treasures... a shell and a stone.. Gee, he looks very very like Max in this photo.. dun you agree?

Just when Mr Ace wants to go toilet, we end up in Hilton Dubai Jumeriah.. wahahaha.. so we went to the toilet there lor:)

Taking a walk down JBR....

Lots of interesting things to see...

Since this place looks like Europe, must take photo. got Ace to be our photog:)

The crazy boy dunno go and take how many thousand photos..

Saw lots of interesting shops and went in to see see look look.. this chair nice right.. guess how much it cost?

Ace very intrigued by this face/mask/chair...

Did you manage to guess correctly? After discount, that single chair cost 44,461 dirhams.. tat is more than 15K sing! siao!

Max says maybe can buy this for F.. buy her a sexy man since she is single:) wahhaahahha...

Max asked me to take photo of this but this one very difficult to capture the effect. it is actually thousands of little birds flying in a spiral..

Would you use this serving platter??????

Found some gnomes tat double up as stools:)

Hey hey hey.. guess who we saw :)

Max Chua lookalike Stallone:)

Look like Max or not??

Love the arabic style paintings.. maybe we can buy something here before we go back to SGP for good in memory of our time in Dubai..

The two most famous buildings in Dubai...}

Time to take a rest...

And have some desserts!:)

I took photo of this and told Ace I will put up a sign like this at home.. and I think I will get rich very soon:) wahahahahahha

Ace doing the whining look so that he can pay me 500 dirhams:)

But nothing perks him up faster than a sweet dessert.. to my surprise, instead of chocolate stuff. he chose a caramel apple thingy..

Max still trying to pose like Stallone..

But once Lava cake comes.. no time to pose.. CHEONG AH!!!!

Then time to say goodbye to JBR:)

Tata...

Then, we went to buy my xmas pressie ;P

yipee!:)

Later, tried to be different and order something different at spring bamboo BUT turned out to be not quite what we expected..

Mental note to self.. next time just order the SAME things:)

Then time to go home and the boys have fun with the note 2 by drawing moustache and sunglasses on each other...

I very cheapo.. cannot find hello kitty cover.. so I made my own:)

Like my wallpaper? Gosh, tat was almost 9 years ago... Max says hor, something wrong with the picture cos we all look too tall.. I told him nothing is wrong.. we have just grown fat over the years:) wahahahahah

And of cos must use hello kitty wallpaper then can:)

Still using my iphone though.. slowly migrating my stuff over...

Anyway, it turned out to be an excellent christmas day:) Thanks dear for the wonderful day and the wonderful present!:)
