Funny conversations during the Macau trip


(We were just chatting about something in general , then suddenly ... )
C: From now onwards, I will challenge you .. 
Me: ??!?

I was trying to open a mineral water bottle ; but it was too tight so I passed it to my mum and asked her to help me open. C saw the scene and exclaimed, "next time it's very hard, you pass it to me, I help you open." Then he feigned a trying-very-hard look, and said , I will 'Eee Eee Eee' and I will open for you. "

I laughed. Looks like my boy has grown up. 

So after a while, when I was trying to open my next bottle, I handed it over to him. He tried to open but failed. So he handed back to me.
C: Ah Ma, help me.
Me: I thought you wanted to help me?
C: you help me open, I help you open .. Ok??
Me: ?!?

Ah Pa was with C and were waiting for me and Ah Po to arrive.
Ah Pa: oh! I forgot something, it's in the hotel. 
C: ok, I will stand here (he shifted to a corner in the busy walkway of Studio City)  and wait for you to come back . 

How brave of him! But no, we ain't leaving you on your own.

We tried to go to the playground but it was more suitable for big kids so we changed plans to watch a magic show instead. Cayen was thoroughly fascinated with all the acts and watched intently. It was quite interesting a setup as we first saw some card tricks in an interactive session, then moved to 2 separate mini studios for 2 acts by 2 magicians, followed by a finale in a bigger theatre. From card tricks, to dancing handkerchief, floating microphone, appearance of a Ferrari , vanishing acts - we saw it all. 

When we asked Cayen what he likes, he said Everything. But when we pressed for a favourite, he whispered ,"I like the Wa Wa .." 

We didn't quite get it. 

Then, after some probing, we realised he was talking about the backup dancers who also took part in some of the acts. He said they were pretty!! 

Boy, boy, you really start young.

We had a turbulent cruise back to Hong Kong. However, before the turbulence could get to us, Cayen had already vomitted due to his phlegmy cough and maybe a little of motion sickness? After we finally reached the hotel , I was pleasantly surprised to see that with the package came a complimentary Internet phone with data , that comes not just with tips for travelling in Hk but also free unlimited calls to selected countries including Singapore and Malaysia and Hong Kong. So we made a call back to Singapore so Cayen can speak to Ah Gong.

C: hello Ah Niao, Aki, Yoda (our cats). Hello Ah Gong. 

Ah Gong: when you come back?

C: erm, tomorrow. I want to eat ice cream. 

C: 阿公，刚才我吐. (And he had to repeat 5-6 times coz Ah Gong caught it as he was on speaker) 

Ah Gong: 为什么吐？

C: 我不懂 leh. 我又没有喝冰水，我还是吐。(his expression and gestures were comically adult) 

Whoa, he sure knows how to give the most relevant update.

Nurturing creativity

We went for curriculum updates last week for Cayson and the week before for Cayen. Bumped into the English teacher who told me that Cayen eats his lunch very well including vegetables (doesn't sound like him at all). She also mentioned that Cayen likes to test boundary. Recent case in point , teacher would ask the children to not talk in the toilet as it could be noisy for the children in the adjacent classroom. As he wasn't allowed to talk, he purposely started singing instead. Then our discussion was cut short and I wondered how the teacher responded to his singing eventually.  Nonetheless , this is one of the many instances where Cayen would not do things the conventional way. In Cantonese, I might even call him "Seng Mok" (savvy). For instance , previously , he was spotted sipping lime cordial juice on a plate -he has helped himself at the dispenser without my knowledge . One would have usually told him off but I decided to ask him why he did that. He said that he

Feedback from teachers

As part of the regular meet the parent session, I joined Cayson to make ice cream. Think I must be the only one who managed to tear two plastics bags in a row due to vigorous shaking. It’s good fun as Cayson tried his hand at making ice cream from Meiji strawberry milk.  Teacher’s feedback on him is still good as usual as he’s still quite an obedient and easy going kid though she did remark that he’s picky with some food like vegetables now. And whilst he’s 99% agreeable in the past, he’s been more prone to his own opinion (I read it as trying to get his way). And sometimes he followed his classmates’ action of scribbling away randomly during colouring when he used to colour carefully within the lines. Observations were quite in line with what we see at home. Recently he would cry when he doesn’t get his way. For instance, we were playing snakes and ladders and he started crying when I made him slide down when he hit a snake. He kept screaming “I want to win”. Later on, he proceeded to

Top 12 Tips during Confinement - revised edition (2017)

This is dedicated to my dear friends who are expecting their bundle of joy very soon. Being a hassle-free type of mother who needs to go back to work after maternity leave, and also one who likes a good bargain, these are the things I personally find very useful, practical & cost saving. 1. A good breastfeeding pillow  - my Brestfriend  For some strange reason, I didn't see the need to invest in this initially. But this has to be the top 1 or 2 items I cannot live without during the first few months. No matter how I positioned the normal pillows, I just couldn't get the right positioning without straining my shoulders/ back. So yes, this is first on the list. Anyway, if your milk production is low, try papaya with fish soup and remember to drink lots of water. If all else fails, you still can try to take some herbal medicine before resorting to Formula Milk. This herbal supplement improved production by 30-50%. I only took it when baby was having gro
