Ace Gets A Haircut

Before we left for Dubai. I gave Ace a haircut. Because I did it in a hurry and because I did not preplan what sort of cut I wanted to give him, it turned out looking like he had a b0wl put around his head and that I cut around it....
By the end of our trip, the bowl turned into a MUSHROOM... HAHAHAHAHA.. so since my mother in law doesnt need to work, I decided to send Ace to her house earlier before our usual monday supper to cut hair...


The end result is Ace gets a nice cut tat can be nicely geled up and when Nai Nai finished cutting his hair, even she exclaimed, "Aiyoh, looked just like Ah Xiong (Max) when he was this age!"



Hahahaha..

Home Sweet Home

That is picture of our family portrait tat Ace drew before we slept...

It was tough to sleep early but we still managed to wake up at 4.30am in the morning.. When we reached the airport.. there was a super duper long queue.. and we also karang kaboh for a while because we were more than 10kg in excess weight... hahahaha....

Before we went in, I felt really sad about leaving Max and started tearing... and then my son laughed at me and said, "Mummy mummy cry baby! Crybaby!"

Because it was so painful for me.. I just walked into the gate without saying goodbye to Max... thank goodness we will be meeting each other in another four weeks time..

We went in early but Ace said he didnt want to go walk around.. so we found a corner near our boarding gate and there is only one chair left available and so we sat down and shared the chair and we played "Guess what i am thinking about.." games with each other...

Finally on the plane.. this time round, they gave Ace a puppet, some colouring pencils and a activity book.. i din get any on the flight there.. i should have asked for it since we already paid money...

Taking off.. GOODBYE DUBAI...

That is how Dubai looks like up in the air.. just brown sand...


Then Ace started to cry when the plane took off and flew furthur down. He cried and said things that you hear right out of those soap operas...


His 15-20 minute monologue while crying went something like this:
I don't want to leave Dubai. I don't want to leave daddy... I want to stay in dubai to be with daddy... why, why why..... why do we have to leave dubai.... (cries and sobs uncontrollably for 2 minutes), I want to be with daddy... why daddy cannot go back to singapore.. I cannot see daddy, i want to see daddy... why daddy cannot come singapore.. why daddy dun want to be with me... why why why why.... why is it like that.. why.... (sobs another 5 minutes.... stops for like 30 seconds and starts again...) DADDY!!!! DAADDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it goes on again...



Come to think of it, his crying face looks exactly the same as it was when he cried when he was a baby lor...


I suspect these might be the desserts we visited.. check out the golden sand.. ah.. I miss the desert already!


Thank god they started serving food.. and so Ace stopped crying.. he said he will continue after he finished his meal.. but I just kept talking to him about who we would meet and what we could do in Singapore and he was so tired he fell asleep and forgot about crying.. hahahaha


Beautiful landscape and clouds...

Well, Ace watched The Simpsons till he was really tired and zonked out...

I watched The Last Mao Dancer (I think Max will like this movie) and Eat, Pray Love... took picture of this man crying cos I think he looks a little light Max and thought that might be how he is looking now.. probably secretly crying in the car or in office.. hahahahahaa...

From the desert, when we moved into Colombo, we started seeing a different sort of scenery...

Would you like to sleep on a bed of clouds? I think tat looks comfy, dun you?:P

View of the land and the sea....

Ace asked me to take photo cos he says this cloud is special... "It can stand up.." And tat is Ace's fav salad cos it is time to eat AGAIN!

Ace watching tv AGAIN... now watching Megamind...


Eventually he still wanted to watch the simpsons...

Singapore from the sky.. singapore, here we come!

I think I took this picture cos I saw the ferris wheel but i cant figure out where it is now.. hahahaha

Anyway, we got home safe and sound...

Adventures In Dubai Day 37: The Last Dinner In Dubai


Breakfast for the day.. pankcake with ice cream and oreo cookie! Hahahaha..

And that is me.. all packed up... sorry.. 80% packed after 4 hours worth of packing...

Max came home slightly early today and decided to bring Ace out to to fly the helicopter. Alas, the top blades broke when the helo fell... (That's ace looking upset tat the help is spoilt)

So after a very short while, they came back ad decided to fly the helo on top of our bed.. hahhaha And Ace got very excited and started jumping on his bed because he is unsure whether the help can still work with faulty blades...

It did fly.. but not too high.. so Ace was disappointed...

Then it was time to go for dinner.. since Lemongrass is our fav and is near our place, we decided to go there for dinner.

Ace sai nai with his daddy during the last dinner in Dubai...


Tada! What a spread!

Max trying to finish 3 person's share of rice.. hahahahaha

Afterward, Ace wanted to go to the arcade in Lamcy Plaza.. so we went.. when I went to the counter, the lady said the minimum you can put into your card is 60AED.. and I only had 30 AED and so we just went around and pretended to play till Max came..

I was trying to persuade Ace to give it up cos i dun see how we could play tat many games for the card to be fully utilized. But Max fainlly managed to get the person to top up the card with only 30 AED:)



And we also found like 10 tickets... and we went on a playing spree and collected more tickets...




In the end, we collected exactly 100 tickets.. hahahaha

Then we went Chilli's for DESSERT:)That's Ace trying the read the menu to find out the history behind Chilli's. But he got upset when there are many words he couldnt read.. hahaha.. so he got Max to help him out..



Our order for the day.. molden chocolate cake with ice cream.. I would love to be able to learn how to do this cos I like to drink it.. hahhaahaha.. on the left are the three things tat we used the 100 tickets to exchange...

Two cars and a bling bling keychain in the shape of the letter M.. "You know why I choose M? Ace asked me..." I know his first choice was A for Ace and second choice C for Chua...

"Because then whenever I see it I can think of daddy..." And so this proudly hangs on his trasnformer bag that he brings to school everyday...


One last hug before we go home...
