Concept of money

Today he wanted to run into the restaurant when we were hanging out at Ion 55th floor. 

I told him, you need money and I don't have. So you better go to Ah Pa. To that , Cayen said "Ah pa , I want money to go to restaurant !"

I was stunned by his grammar and sentence structure.. School must be doing a good job or he's quite good in absorbing such stuff from our usual conservations.

Anyway, we did a SG 50 family portrait before that .. It was rather fun to sketch our portrait .. And be part of the SG portraits ...

A follow up post to the iHerb order

I have received some questions on some of the products and its intended usage. So here's a quick summary on what they are per my research.  (By the way, i am no doctor. This is based on what I gathered from Dr Google..haha):  1. What is Propolis?  Propolis  is a resinous mixture that  honey bees  collect from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. It is used as a sealant for unwanted open spaces in the  hive . Propolis is used for small gaps, while larger spaces are usually filled with  beeswax . According to this   site ,  Propolis has a long history of medicinal use,   dating   back to 350 B.C., the time of Aristotle. Greeks have used propolis for abscesses; Assyrians have used it for healing wounds and tumors; and Egyptians have used it for mummification. It still has many medicinal uses today, although its effectiveness has only been shown for a couple of them. Propolis seems to have activity ...

Made up stories - deciduous

Image
As you know, I like to spin stories during bedtime reading in request to his request for more stories even after I off the lights. Today was no exception. Given the cold weather after the rains, I decided that the theme would be seasons. And so my story goes: Once upon a time, there's an Ant and Grasshopper who like four seasons. This is because they like to see the leaves change colour and the temperature change. For instance, in Summer, the leaves will be green and in Autumn they will turn yellow or orange. In winter, they will all drop off..  "Yes, these are deciduous trees, not evergreen trees , " he interrupted .  I was surprised. Deciduous ? Haven't heard this word since Geography class in secondary school, "where did you learn it from?" "FasTrack.. (This is one of his classes)," he replied, sounding very bored as if I should know.  This is really very fast track I think. Looks like my fictional stories better be as fact ...

Cayen loves SAM

Image
This was our second visit to SAM at 8Q .. Once again, they have very interesting exhibits for children and offers a nice alternative to spending time at indoor play gyms. First section involves some mega Tetris looking blocks for kids to arrange ( like Lego) and that station kept Cayen busy for nearly an hour. It's funny to see the dynamics amongst the kids - Cayen is OCD about arranging his blocks neatly to supplement the "bridge" structure, this older boy was bent on destroying the bridge n structure, and how some older western kids were bent on climbing on top of the "bridge".  Then, there was the room where you can cycle to generate lights and sounds (think kinetic energy) .  And this "garden" where you can hang colourful balls just like how you would on a Christmas tree. This must be Cayen's favourite activity because he says "I love here!" And this giant jigsaw puzzle was very interesting as well because one can arr...
