Ganma's Visit

Ganma Evon made way from Malaysia to SG to visit Ace with Uncle Kev again ;)

But because they havent met each other in a long while, it took Ace a little while to warm up to her again. However, Ace still called "GANMA EVON!" very loudly.. so I think he must have melted her heart ;)

Uncle Kev caught Ace's heart by playing the knocking head game and then they told me that the way to get a baby to like you is to imitate their actions. Then they will think you understand them.

And Ganma also bought Ace a shirt while touring Bali. "Mei mei!" Ace told me the moment he saw it and immediately wanted to put it on. "Chuan chuan!" He said and then HE PUT ON THE PANTS BY HIMSELF! I didn't know he knows how to wear pants! Hahaha..

Previous Post: Swimming Again!

Swimming Again!

I brought Ace swimming again...

This time round, two very interesting things happened.

1) I dropped my shoe...
Well, I wanted to bring Ace to the pool before it hit 11am so that it would not be so warm. The last time we went at 12 noon, we came home alot darker and I prefer to be fairer ;) Hahaha... So I was in a hurry. Just before we left, Waipo said to ask Ace to pee and so I did. But alas, nothing much came out and he told me, "no more..." So we pulled up his pants and walked on.

Halfway through walking there, Ace told me, "Mummy, shee shee..." and he squat down.

"Ace, we are going to reach soon. Grin and bear with it."

So we walked on somemore.

About 150 steps more, "Mummy... shee shee..." And then he squat down again.

"Ace, you can shee shee when we reach the swimming pool ok? Let's walk faster!"

When we walked past the Sepak Takraw Association, Ace squat down and told me he wanted to pee again. "Mummy, toilet.." he said.

"Yeah, there is no toilet here Ace..."

"There... toilet" He said as he pointed to the association building... (Wah, so clever ah! How he knows there is toilet inside?)

"Well, Mummy carry you and we walk quickly to the swimming pool ok?" And so I started carrying him and started walking quickly. Just as I was about the reach the gate of the swimming pool, Ace told me, "Mummy, shoe!"

I thought he might have dropped his shoe and so I looked on the floor. Nothing! And so I presumed he had his shoes on and so I continued to walk. Only when I reached the swimming pool toilet and tried to put him down to pee, I realized that he lost a shoe.

"Oh dear, Ace, your shoe is gone! How ah..."

He looked really dismayed and proceeded to be unable to pee at all.

"Ok Ace, your shoe is somewhere. We will look for it on the way home ok? Since we are here to swim, forget about the shoe and go swimming first ok?"

"OK", he said sadly.

When we reached the pool and looked out into the green grass area outside, I caught sight of his orange crocs.. "Look ace! Your shoe! We go and pick it up later ok?"

And Ace stared forlornly outside.. till he finally saw his shoe. "Shoe! Shoe! Shoe! He said excitedly and finally, he was ready to go into the pool and play.

2) Chat Me Up
Anyway, once we were in the pool, as usual, Ace only wanted to waddle in the first step of the pool. The improvement is that he needed no coercion to go into the pool and walked in to walk around himself and he did not resist putting on his float.

Halfway while walking here and there with Ace, my eye caught a very strange ensemble from the outside carpark. Two grown men with two children. And reminded me of the movie, Three Men and A Baby.. hahaha ;) I wondered if they were gay partners.. haha..

And then I noticed that one of them kept staring at me. The moment he walked into the pool, he started to bio me from far far away.

The two children jumped into the pool and one of the men started taking out the toys that they brought. "Daddy, we go swim le!" And they went swimming as the children's Daddy started applying sunscreen and taking out the toys.

The one who bio me lay down and suntan.

A while later, Mr Ace Chua decided to go and explore OTHER PEOPLE'S TOYS. I told him that if he wants to play, he has to ask permission so in a very meek voice, he said, "Can I play please?" (I taught him to say tat lah) The Daddy said ok and Ace continued to play. Ace also very lucky because the children very gladly shared and just played their own games and left Ace to play with the toys quietly.

After a while, Mr Suntan came over and sat beside me and started chatting me up. "How old is he..." And then he proceeded to tell me how I look like his friend... how he has no girlfriend and no one wants him.. how cute his nephew and nieces are... and finally he asked me, "So is this your son?"

"Yeah!" And I smile sweetly at him. I could see his face was crestfallen! Hahaha.. "I thought since you look so young, you are his ah yee..." And then we proceeded to talk about what I do for a living and what does my husband do...

"I am yellow face woman lah.. stay at home and look after kids one.." I told him. Hahaha...

Anyway, his name is John. Hahaha... I am quite happy lah..means me havent lost my charms mah ;) hahaha..

I told Max about it and Max said I should have asked for John's address so that he can go and tear his door down. Hahaha...

"His built very good leh!" I told Max.
"OOI!" Max retorted.
"I trying to motivate you to train mah...."

Ah Yee always reject when I ask if she could bring Ace swimming. When I told Ah Yee about this and we came to the point about how John is very well built, she said, "Hmm... ok, from now on i volunteer to take Ace swimming!"

Hahaha....

Previous Post: Grand Evening Out

Grand Evening Out

I promised Daddy I will bring Ace out once a week...

So every week, I will either bring him shopping, bring him somewhere for a meal or bring him swimming...

The other day, since we had nothing much to do at home, me and Ah Yee decided to bring Ace out shopping again! ;)

This time round, we managed to stay outside for a long long while before we returned home and even managed to buy something while Ace had his own share of fun ;) Think Ace had lots of fun too.. cos after shopping (where he managed to find a friend to play with), we went to Mac Donalds for Ice cream and after that , we even went to the playground for some fun ;)

Previous Post: Happy Feet

Happy Feet

Ace LOVES my feet.

Whenever he touches my feet, he goes into what we call "BLISS" in POV joining terms.. that means you feel so happy you cannot help but laugh and laugh.. haha ;)

I wonder why he loves my feet. Keep telling him my feet are dirty but every night before he sleeps, he must go near them, cuddle them and kiss them before he can sleep.. sigh...

Anyway, I have two theories about why he loves my feet...

A: Ace used to be a feet masseur in his previous life

B: Ace used to be buddhist and I used to be a buddha in Thailand (thai pple kiss the feet of the buddha)

Previous Post: No more

No more

Monkeys see and monkeys do.

No more squeezing of blackheads on my nose in front of Ace. CHECKED.
After he saw me doing it once. Now whenever we take the mirror out he will press on his nose... as if he was squeezing blackheads

No more swear words, no more scolding. CHECKED.
The other day, I said, "tamade.. must clean this up.." Ace ran to me and repeated, "tamade.. tamade..tamade.. " and laughed...

And then the other day, he watched the barney CD 6 times and I asked him, "You siao ah?" and after that he kept saying, "siao ah, siao ah, siao ah..."

Previous Post: Max Away...

Max Away...

Max has been away for almost two months now. In another one week's time, he will be back.

Initially, I was really upset at his leaving for two months.

But now as I look back, it was good that Max was gone for two months.

On his side, he said he did not realized that he took me and Ace for granted and learnt to appreciate us more...

On my side, many many things happened. I learnt to stand on my on and be a true leader. I learnt to be responsible for my own life instead of relying on Max all the time. I learnt to decide for myself what I want instead of asking other people to decide for me all the time. I learnt not to sacrifice. I learnt to communicate better with my people. I learnt to appreciate myself more. I learnt to appreciate Max more. Appreciate my parents more and most important of all, I learnt how to get along better with Ace.

I often asked myself why even though I keep saying that I want another child, the other child is not here yet. As I have mentioned before, results equal intent. I know this is probably because I am not ready yet in one way or another.

Part of the reason is that I cannot reconcile the fact that sometimes I find Ace is a hindrance to my freedom and I have some fear of taking care of him or being a mother to him. Even though everyone says I am very motherly. The fact is, after a short while, I often feel a need to take a holiday from my own son and I feel so bad and so guilty about that.

I often think that with every child I had, I had to 'sacrifice' 2 years of my life with them. If I had 3 children, tat would be 6 years of time wasted just taking care of kids instead of doing the things that I really wanted.

Even though I enjoyed my motherhood journey but I was often in sacrifice. I think I cannot do my business as professionally as I want because I have to bring Ace along if there is no one taking care of him. I think I have to slow down my path towards POV trainer because I got to think about Ace. I think I have to sacrifice business time because I want to spend more time with Ace.

Just before Daddy left for the middle east, the situation is made even worse cos I literally threw Ace at Daddy and did not really spend time with him or do things with him thinking that he needed "daddy time" more than time with me.

The real reason, however, is the fact that I was glad to be rid of this responsibility of being Ace's mother for a short while. I was glad to stop 'sacrificing' for a while.

But the heavens are fair, once Daddy was away, I was full time mother. There is only MUMMY time... and because Waipo had to work morning shift in the first month, the MUMMY TIME was intensified...Initially, I could barely breathe.... my first solo outing with Ace only lasted one hour.

Now, I can bring him out and spend a good 3 hours together.

As he grows and develop a personality of his own and as I interact more and more with him, I am starting to love Ace not just as my son.. but also as my friend... as the person he is...
I slowly learn to appreciate being with him and as I enjoyed myself more and more with him, I started seeing being with him as less and less of a sacrifice.. god, it took me two and a half years to learn to appreciate my child...

Actually, I know now that I am just using Ace as an excuse. Child or no child, no one can stop you from living your purpose. Parenthood in fact, I think will help me learn more and speed up my process to become a POV trainer. Ace is also my motivation to do better in my business. Like Arthur said, if your children were to know that if you went out and do business, you could afford to bring them to disneyland, your children would probably say, "Mummy, go out and bring us to disneyland!" Hahaha.... In Ace's case, I think Barneyland is probably more attractive.

Anyway, Ace, thank you for being such a wonderful son and teaching me so many wonderful lessons about life. Thank you for all your love, trust and confidence in me. Mummy loves you and will do my best, lead a good life and do you proud! :) I love you!

PS: I talked to Veron.. she says my second child is coming soon. I am just getting ready for it, getting Ace ready for it... I agree.. cos I think now tat Ace is more assured of my love, he is ready to share it with one more new life ;)

Previous Post: My first Mini Trader, Ace Chua

My first Mini Trader, Ace Chua

I mentioned once a long long time ago that Ace is a born businessman ;) Cos he likes to stack up my pdts and sell them..

I think he must have very good powers of intuition.

Even though I did not tell him that my company has changed strategy and business model and that we are now going into franchise trading instead.. he gamely started trading VP and APPLES.. hahaha ;)

Ace ah... trade apples got no trading volume and therefore no income one.. you want to trade, you can trade the breast enhancement cream, indinine coffee, moor facial bar, fibre plus and juz 5.. hahaha...

Previous Post: Mummy Drink Milk

Mummy Drink Milk

Nowadays, Ace has a new way of telling you that he is hungry.

Even though he is aware that he only gets milk once in the morning and once at night, at all possible strange times of the day, he will come and ask me, "Mama, drink milk!" And then will will pull me towards the kitchen.

If I ignore him or pull him away, he will cry and then he will throw a tantrum... with tears in his eyes, he will cry loudly and throw his whole body on the floor ( I video this down once.. will put it up on the blog when I got time)

Initially I was perturbed, how can he always be so hungry for milk. In the end, I discovered that all he is saying is that he is hungry. Because if i ask him, "Are you hungry ace?" he will either reply "yes" or "hungry"

When that happens, all I need is to pass him something to eat. No matter what it is, doesn't matter, as long as there is food, he will be all smiles again.

I think he must be growing because all these cries for milk are getting increasingly frequent. The last i weighed him, he is 14.6kg! That's one quarter my weight lor! And I am 15 times older than him lor!

Anyway, I am happy that my parents have a ready supply of fruits in their fridge so I try to settle his hunger pangs with fruits so that at least these snacks are healthy. At any rate, they are better than biscuits or bread (if you dunno bread will clog up their digestive system and make them constipated so the less bread they eat the better).

Previous Post: Gai Gai

Gai Gai

The other day, Ace started dreaming about going to Mac Donalds again.

So he came to me and told me, "Mummy, gai gai... Mama, mac donald"

Then he pointed to the door and said, "suo shi..." (which meant the keys) and then he took the keys and tried to open the door. Upon failing, he tried another another strategy...

He picked up my shoe and started to put them on for me and tried to wear shoes.. alas, he was wearing waigong's shoes! hahaha...

Because they were too big, they dropped out when he tried to walk. So he tried to put them on my feet instead.. hilarious i tell you! Hahaha...

Previous Post: Creative Ace

Creative Ace

Hahaha... Ace reminded me of my childhood...

I still remember that when we were young, we would fold the mattress and make it into a cave that we lived in. When sharing our childhood stories, this is a common game that all children will play.

So I guess children are really naturally creative and imaginative.

Just like Ace. He would take the chair, turn it over and pretend to be rowing a boat.

Recently he has started to also understand the concept of make believe. For example, he will take an empty plate and pretend to cook inside and then he will pass me the plate and tell me, "Mummy arhm..." which actually means the food is ready and it is for me to eat.

I will then pretend to take a bite, he will pretend to take a bite and then he will laugh and proceed to cook his 'next dish'.

Dun attempt to ask him what the dish is though.. cos currrently no matter what you ask him, the answer is either "Ice cream" or "Mac Donald" his two most favourite phrases... hahaha...

Previous Post: Pose

Pose

Ace likes to take pictures.

Very often, he will run to me and ask me to "xiao xiao" which means I am supposed to use the camera or my handphone to take pictures of him.

Finally after many demos, he finally understands what is the meaning of posing for the camera ;)

The other day he was in a really good and so he started posing for my camera when I told him to..

Not bad hor, like model leh! Hahaha...

Previous Post: Stuck

Stuck

Someone very geh kiang lor... treat the sofa like his playground.. jump up and down.. run here and there.. dive into the pool of clothes on the sofa and tell me, "mummy, swimming..."

In the end, he got stuck between the two huge sofas and at last resort, used crying to ask for help...

Hahaha.. I can't help but want to laugh at him though... As the chinese says, "Early know today, why tat time like that?" (zao zhi jin ri, he bi dang chu)

Previous Post: Leisure Afternoon

Leisure Afternoon

Ace is very atas one lor...

He really knows how to enjoy life..

The other day, he sat down on Ah Yee's bed with a book in one hand (it is one of those atas sort of books about relationships and the higher mind...) and 'a glass of champagne' in beside him.

After flipping a few pages, he will pause, take his champagne glass and make a slurping drinking sound. And then he will say, "ahhh...." and put it beside him and continue reading his book.

Hahaha... I think he is born to know how to enjoy life man! hahaha...

Previous Post: Rocking Horse

Rocking Horse

About a year ago, we vistied Xiangling and she said she has this wooden rocking horse that her son no longer likes and asked if we wanted it. That incident happened at a time where I strongly felt I need to give my child more toys... hahaha... and so, in the end, we accepted.

Initially, Ace did not like that rocking horse much. If you put him on the horse, he doesnt even want to rock or know how to rock. Even when I sit on the horse and show him how to do it, he is JUST not interested.

Over the course of the year though, he slowly starts to like the horse. Now, not only does he go up the horse and rock, he even does stunts like standing on it instead of sitting on it.. or twisting his body in strange contortions while he is on it.

But he only plays with it for like 5-10 minutes once a month.

I ever thought of buying those Little Tikes sort of little car for him to 'drive' around in since he likes cars so much. Partially also because I saw how much he loved playing with it while he was at Xiangling's place. Heng I did not really buy that car for him when I wanted to. I guess it will in the end, end up like the rocking horse.. having very little 'air time'... Phew...

Anyway, if i really asked myself why I wanted to buy the very expensive toys for him.. it is all as a compensation for the feeling of being a lousy parent. (If other children can have it, how come i cannot provide my child with it...)

Haha.. but as I said, there is a cheaper way to get rid of this feeling.. and tat is to forgive our parents and also to show our child alot of love. If you give your child alot of love, they will be happy forever. If you buy them a toy, from my experience, they will only be happy for half an hour! hahaha.... Don't you agree?:P

Previous Post: Drink Juice

Drink Juice

Well, Ace's vocab has certainly increased and come a long long way...

Eg, when it is time for my breakfast juice, he will run to me and say, "Mummy, drink juice..."

I would give him some and he would drink it and then he pushes the cup back to me and tells me, "Hai yao..." or he would say, "Some more..."

When he is done, he says, "Finish..." and then brings the cup to the kitchen and tells Waigong, "Waigong, boh liao..."

After that he points to the TV and says, "Watch TV...watch Barney..."

If i ignore him, he runs to his Laoma and says, "diang see kee!"

If he is seated in his high chair and wants to come down, he tells Laoma, "lok lai!"

If that doesnt work... he says,"Mummy! SHEE SHEEEE!"

See, multi lingual leh! hahaha...

Previous Post: Mobile Performer

Mobile Performer

When a child is talented, he can perform anytime and anywhere.

Just like Ace Chua.

Since Daddy left, if I do not have any appointments, I will be the one responsible for bringing him to his Shichida lessons and usually, we take the cab there and take a train home because it is difficult to find taxis in that area on a sunday.

So at the MRT station, Ace will hit on the bench and sing really loudly. Some time later, the people who saw him perform started to smile...

In the MRT train itself.. he started to perform a different stunt. WHen I carried him in my arms, he reached out for the safety handle on top of him and then wriggle free while holding on to the safety bar.. like monkey bar like tat.. and then he tells me, "Mummy, monkey!"

So the next week, I decided to buy him a packet of biscuits which kept in quiet for a really short while and he started to touch people's bags, people's umbrellas, pockets.. etc... etc...

But of course, he doesn't forget to PERFORM...

Cos when we came to the over the ground part of the track, he realized that it was raining and he started to recite his Shichida story book, "The rain is raining on the roof, drip, drop, drip. The rain is raining on me grass, drip, drop, drip.."

And then when we came out of the MRT station, he saw that it was raining heavily and he started singing, "Rain rain go away, come again another day..."

Many days later, I then realized that he learnt this from the Barney VCD that he watched.. haha ;)

Now, whenever it rains, he will do the DRIP DROP DRIP thing and sing "Rain rain go away.."

Previous Post: Mugged!

Mugged!

Ace loves to drink fruit juice.

In my family, every morning, we will have carrot and beet root juice... so I will share my juice with Ace.

usually, after he is done, instead of a milk moustache, you will see a juice moustache on his face.

And then he comes and asks for more...
But somehow, the second time he drinks it, he will the the cup around so he will end up marking his forehead as well and you will see the circular shape of his mug on his face! So farnee...

Me experiment many times liao... always end up the same. I wonder why he likes to change sides.. hahaha...

Previous Post: Games

Games

Remember that I mentioned that Ace knows how to play Ba Xian Guo Hai and Jiu Dian Mai Jiu game?:)

Well, here is proof... as Ah Yee plays on happily with Ace ;)

Luckily he learnt these two games. Now whenever he feels/looks bored when we are outside and I have no toys, paper or pen on me, I play that game with him to catch hold of his attention. Works really well and so me can bring him out for longer periods now ;)

Previous Post: So Angry

So Angry

Nowadays, if Ace does something wrong and you get angry, you don't even need to tell him, he will tell you,"So angry..." or he will say, "Popo so angry..."

Likewise, if you do something to upset him, he will also tell you, "So angry!" (But his so angry is very cute no matter how he says it.. hahaha)

The other day, Waipo was at home doing her own things and suddenly Ace came to her at about 9pm and asked for milk (he usually only drinks milks at 11pm). "No ace, it is too early already..."

"So angry..." Ace said...

"What are you angry about?" Waipo asked him.

"No milk..." *humph* and he went to play.

Well, Ace made me "so angry" the other day I nearly wanted to dapao him and send him to bahrain to papa. Sigh..

For my BD, Jez ah ma gave me a really really nice hello kitty organizer with alot of stickers inside and a nice white address book.

Imagine I went out happily and came home to find that my stickers are 60% gone.. they are pasted all over the place on the address book.. and there is some ADDITIONAL artwork on the WHITE address book :S In addition, my organizer also kenna some graffitti by some two year old who thinks he is Vincent Van Gogh... SIGH...

In addition, the gate to the kitchen was removed by MR Hercules Van Gogh.. which resulted in me not having a good night's sleep cos the moment he woke.. (which was two hours after i slept), I had to wake as well because he might go into the kitchen to play with knives and what nots...

So angry!

What made me angrier still is that I kept the organizer HIGH up and I know only one person who might have taken it down to Ace... Ah Ma! GRRRRRR.... And tat stupid Max kept challenging me to wake Ace and spank him lah.. laugh at me that both Laoma and Ace are doing things to get my attention lah... made me really very very very angry I wanted to KILL Max Chua.

In the morning, I scolded Ace and told him i am very angry.

"Sorry mama.." he said and smiled at me.. hiya, and then all my anger gone.. hahaha ;)

Previous Post: Waigong's Birthday

Waigong's Birthday

The other day, it was Waigong's birthday...

I asked Waigong how he wanted to celebrate his birthday and he said he wanted to cook.. so i just asked him to cook noodles and got clari and stan to bring home some extra food.

"When is Ah Qing coming home ah?" Waigong asked me.

"Soon lah..."

So he went to the back to warm the wok to start cooking.

When Ace saw him doing that, he told me, "Waigong chao chao chao..." and then he ran to the Gohonzon table, took the bell and the bell ringer and start to imitate waigong...

"Mummy, chao chao chao... " he laughed.

I hope gohonzon dun mind.. maybe he is cooking for Gohonzon.. hahaha ;)

For more pics of Waigong's BD, you can visit my MULTIPLY site ;)

Previous Post: Ace is NEAT

Ace is NEAT!

My son is really neat!

I am not just saying that he is good.. also that he is good at arranging things.. or rather, he is at this stage where he likes to arrange things..

The other day, he took out all the toy cars that he had and then he arranged them all into a straight line..

And just this morning, he took out his wooden toy and started stacking them up and arranging.. I must say his mobility is really good because I was really impressed with the very neat arrangement.

Phew.. I tot a messy and lazy person like me might have a messy lazy kid.. turned out that my son is really quite the opposite ;) haha...

After his meals, he will stack his plates and cups and bring it to the kitchen and pass it to Waigong.. he will also keep his toys when we ask him to after he has played with them.

In fact, he had so much fun stacking CDs in Ah Yee's CD rom drive that it is now spoilt cos he stacked like 3 CDs inside and used brute force to push it in... Anyone knows how to get them out???

Previous Post: Goal!

Goal!

The other day I brought Ace to go Yeye and Nainai'a place for supper because we wanted to celebrate Shu Shu's ORD date.

As I had a meeting, my mum sent Ace there earlier after her meeting and so he spent alot of time playing with them and had a headstart eating the supper before I even got any chance to do that...

By the time I reached their place and started eating, Ace was already full and started running around the room.

Then he came to me and pulled at my hand, "Mama... lai, lai..."

"Where do you want to go, Ace?" I asked him as I stood up and followed him. He brought me to the sofa and asked me to 'jor jor' (sit) there...

"Why must jor jor here?" I asked him.

"Watch TV", he said matter-of-factly as he climbed to sit on the seat beside me.

"Ace, what programme do you want to watch?"

He turned to me and gave me a matter-of-fact look, raised his arms up in the air and shouted, "GOAL!"

Hahaha... actually though, it is just monkey see monkey do.. cos whenever we went to yeye's house, that would be Daddy's routine.. so Ace is just acting it out on behalf of Daddy.. hahaha...

No wonder Yeye keeps saying Ace is Chao Barbie.. so cute right?:P

Previous Post: Waipo's School Concert

Waipo's School Concert

Well, I uploaded some really nice pictures of Ace visiting Waipo's school concert rehearsal...

Click here to see pictures.

Hahaha.. he is dam funny one lor...

When he reached there, I was so worried that he will run on stage and try to dance with them... so I asked him to sit on my lap.

After about two items, he started to explore sitting down.

After sitting down for another one item, he started to ask me to take out my handphone, "Mama, xiao xiao...." and started to imitate the photographer taking pictures...

Even later still, he started to mimic their dancing...really funny i tell you!

Anyway, I just wanted to show case pics of their performance because if you look closely, you will see that most of the props inside were made by my lao mu! ;) Very creative right?! ;)

Her boss asked me when I will send Ace to their school... I guess I just might want to do that starting next year... gotto go learn to drive...

Previous Post:

PS: Speaking of creative people, my laomu is not the only one. My good friend, Peg-gy started a VERY VERY VERY VERY nice website featuring all her own handmade jewellery. If you like bling bling stuff.. have penchant for high fashion lookalikes at a reasonable budget or am starting to think about wat to give your friends for xmas, this perfect CUSTOMIZED and UNIQUE gift will definitely give them a really pleasant surprise. Look out for her xmas selection here. I bought a really lovely necklace for a girlfriend from her and she loved it so much she wore it for 2, 3 days straight! hahaha...

Previous Post: King Of The World

King of the world!

It is VERY VERY VERY VERY rare that Ace will actually like to put anything on his head.

That is why, since he has been born, all the hats that we or his well meaning ganmas have bought for him have all gone wasted.

The only thing he will automatically put on his head is ah yee's white hairband... but he does it because he thinks it is funny and he doesnt keep it there for long...

So the other day, when Ah Yee showed me pics of her bringing Ace out, I was really surprised to see him wearing that golden crown on his head.

"I dunno leh, he liked it and wore it for the whole time we were there leh.." she told me.

For the next few days, he would take it out, put it on and talk loudly... maybe he is pretending he is in a school playing, playing the role of a KING.. hahaha ;)

Handsome boh?:)

Previous Post: Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Ace just stayed over at Nainai's place again.

I suspect that this time round, the song they taught him was Baa Baa Black Sheep cos when he came back, he kind of started to like this song.

He would come into Ah Yee's room, see the Love Pack explaination book with hard cover, take it, hit on it to create some ryhthme and then start singing this song.. most importantly is that he could sing the whole song... I am really amazed! :)



Previous Post: Rubber Duckie

Rubber Duckie

Sesame Street's favourite Rubber Duckie song.. performed by ACE CHUA.



By the way, no one taught him how to sing it, he just knew how to sing it suddenly one day... muahahaha...

Previous Post: Die Dao (Fall Down)

Die Dao

Just before Daddy left, he decided to teach Ace how to play a game. The game is something like the game, 007.

So Daddy will shoot Ace and say "Bang!" and Ace will say, "Ah!" and raise both his hands high up in the air.

Initially Ace only knew how to point and say "bang" but after a few demos, he started to be able to answer "Ah!" as well..

Eventually though, when he says "ah" he will fall gracefully.. like this.. hahahaha



Previous Post: Ace can say my name

Ace can say my name!

My son is so so so so clever!

I only told him once that if he does this, it is called the YANDAO POSE... from then onwards, whenever you say tat to him, he will pose this way.

The other day, I spent less then a minute repeating his name, my name and daddy's name three times to him and he can say our names!

Me: Ace, what is your name?

Ace: Ace!


Me: Ace, what is mama's name?

Ace: Angel!


Me: Ace, what is Papa's name?

Ace: Max!

I got him to perform for Daddy over skype and Daddy was really impressed. Hehehe.. actually it is all thanks to Daddy cos he asked if I could teach Ace some new words or new things before he came home.

Anyway, this got Ah Yee very excited and she started training Ace as well. Now Ace can also say Ah Yee's name, CLARI.

Let's Go SWIMMING!

I promised Ace before Daddy left that I would bring him swimming once every one or two weeks.

On the first week that Daddy left, I was quite bz.. PLUS da yi ma came to visit me.. and so I did not bring Ace swimming.

Eager to keep my promise, I brought him swimming on the second week one day mid noon. It was really quite warm and initially I decided to warm up at the baby pool. Ace had no qualms about walking into the pool and stood and played there happily.

After a while, I brought him over to the kid's pool and he started to cry the moment I brought him deeper into the water and during this time, he would call out, "Papa... Papa... Papa...."

The interesting thing is this. Right after we are done with swimming, Ace told me, "Mama.. Mac Donalds..."

So I told him that because it is past breakfast time, there is nothing he can eat there since we are vegeterians and I dun allow him to eat french fries yet. Besides, Waigong has already cooked lunch. "So we go home and eat the very delicious lunch that Waigong has prepared for you... OK?"

"OK!" Ace agreed happily.

Once we put on our clothes and started walking home, he tried to pull me to a different direction.

"Where do you want to go, Ace?" I asked him.

"Mac donalds!"

"But we agreed to go home right? I bring you to mac donalds another day.. ok?"

"OK!" And he happily continued to walk.

Ah Yee says though that she is somewhat amused by the fact that Mac Donalds is the CLEAREST and MOST OFTEN repeated three syllabus phrase used by Ace.

I think they really do very good marketing lor. Everytime he goes there, he gets a balloon. Everytime he goes there, it is like a treat for him.

Anyway, both me and Ace got darker after the swim. I shall wake up earlier so that we can go before the afternoon sun hits the water... then at least it would not be so warm.

Da Bian!

Ace woke up the other day and walked around with this blur look on his face. After a short while, he went to the corner of the coffee table and squat there with a constipated look...

After that, a whiff of shit started to fill the air...

Hahaha... Maybe Ace was a little doggie in his previous life. Even shit also must find a quiet corner to do so.. hahahaha....

Anyway, Ace, if you want to da bian, go to the tampui or the toilet lah!

Picnic ;)

Ace ran into Ah Yee's room, took all the bolters, pillows, blankets, soft toys, threw them on the floor and started lying down on them as if he was having some sort of picnic.

"Ace ah, are you having a picnic?" I asked him.

"Picnic!" he said and continued to nuzzle against the bolster...



Hahaha.. shh... dun tell Ah Yee....
