Ace is one confident little boy...

The other day, I brought him to his dancing class on my own and so while we were at the MRT station, I decided to go into one of the shops there to take a look.

The uncle there was quite friendly and then he told Ace, "Wah, boy, you very handsome leh.. you look more like mummy or daddy?"

And Ace told him.. "I look more like daddy and my Papa is a botak.."

And then Ace told him without thining and without prompting.. "I have many many girlfriends!"

The other day, we were watching So You Think You Can Dance on cable at my in law's place. And then my cheeky son just started dancing when one of the really geeky looking contestants started dancing....

This is hilarious!



Previous Post: Control Freak?

Ace has a new pair of crocs that we bought for him sometime back during a Crocs Sale...

Then it was a little bit too big for him and so we kept it in the cupboard... and then the other time when we went to Penang, one of the presents we bought for him is those buttons you put on the crocs.

And then we kept it and everytime he did something good, we rewarded him with one button. One day, we found a star button on the floor and now, he has three buttons on his crocs.

The other day, his slipper strap broke and so, we decided to take out the crocs and let him use it as his slipper.

And Ace is very particular about his buttons. Whenever he puts on his crocs, he will adjust the buttons and make sure that the spiderman and the thomas train will face up.

Many times after walking around for some time, the button will swivel and turn and Ace will pause in his steps and bend down to adjust them until they are straight again.

"It's ok lah, it will turn one full round and be straight by itself.." I told him. But he just insists on stopping, bending and turning it back before he walk again.

I wonder if this means Ace is anal and that he is a control freak? Well, I guess not lah...me and Max are quite easy and free in our parenting style.. sometimes I even think we give him too much freedom.. hahahaha...

Previous Post: I Like Sushi And Sauce Mian

When it comes to dinner time, Ace doesn't have many preferences. It is usually is sushi (which means inari and egg sushi), sauce mian (which means lor mee), sushi mian (cold soba), chicken rice (any sort of rice that is put nicely in a shape of a bowl and has some sort of vegeterian meat)... and his preferance is usually in the above mentioned order....

Whenever you ask him, he will tell you that his favourite is sushi and sauce mian.

Now, the problem is sushi at our usual Sakae Sushi is really quite expensive and it is something we really wouldn't want to eat everyday... me and Max prefer variety when it comes to food...

So over time, we developed a few things to replace Sakae Sushi, to save cost and also to create a win win situation.'

There is nothing I can do about sauce mian.. but since it is available 10 minutes away and is only $3.50, I just buy it for him sometimes...

As for sushi mian... I discovered that a pack of soba noodles cost $4 and the sauce cost about $7 at NTUC. So whenever he wants to eat that or when Max is not free, I will cook that for him.

As for the sushi, initially we did stunts like telling him he has to fulfill certain criteria before we bring him there. But the thing is, we got sick of eating sushi after a while and one fine day, Max developed a GREAT idea!

We went to GIANT to buy sushi for him.. and then the two of us would be able to eat anything we like and Ace will also be able to eat what he likes! ;)

Lately we also discovered Ichiban sushi thanks to Justin and found that buying sushi there is even more wu hua and cheaper than us buying sushi from GIANT. The happiest thing is that I discovered that there is a Edo sushi about a 15 min walk away from my house...

Anyway, we have since many happy dinner moments due to the winwin situation:)

Previous Post: Special Vacumn Cleaner

Ace is getting more and more imaginative these days...

The other day, he took out the engineering set and fixed them together. And then he started to move it back and forth and started to make the "wooooooooooo wooooooooo" sound and so I asked him what he was doing.

"I am cleaning the house using the vacumn cleaner..." And then he happily vacumned away.

About 5 minutes later, he suddenly exclaimed, "My vacumn cleaner is very special... it has two sides.. this side is for the floor.. this side is for the face... and if you put the bar (he is refering to the Eumora bar that I am supplying right now) inside, it can bshhhhh on your face.. and then the water come out here to wash it and then you will be pretty pretty and handsome handsome...."

Hahaha.. amazing! I wonder where that idea came from.. but I must say he is really quite advanced in his thinking.. hahaha.. i would certainly buy a machine tat can do all tat:) hahaha

Previous Post: Mr Ai Swee

Ace is enjoying he dance class... seems like his lessons include lessons by Miss Sam (who teaches them dance steps) and lessons by Miss Elly (who teaches them via fun games like Big Bad Wolf). I asked him which he likes better and he prefers Miss Sam's dance steps to my surprise... (When I brought him to the Bollywood Dance class that day, he actually managed to keep up with the dance steps for a good 15 min before be felt tired and thirsty and had to rest...)

The only thing is that he feels that his dancing uniform is actually 'not nice' and always insists on changing into something else after dance lessons when we go out. I told him that since he is the one wearing the clothes, he has to be responsible for remembering to bring his clothes along.

The other day, he took a nap and when he finally woke up, we were in a hurry to go out and thus he forget to bring along the clothes he wanted to change into.

While we were in the car on the way there, he kept asking me if I could go home and get his clothes for him. I told him it was a long way back. And then he asked if I could stay at the dance class with him and get Daddy to go home and get his new clothes for him.

I told him that his dancing clothes are very nice already and he insisted that long pants are for sleeping... and that his t-shirt is not nice..

He kept bugging us and bugging us and bugging us until finally max told him.. Ok, you go with us first in your dance uniform.. later at 9pm, you can change into anyting you like.. and tat quietened him completely.. cos he din realize that by then, we would already be home! hahahahahaha

Hai... I've never met a little boy who is more AISWEE than him lor...
