童真

我想。。。 小孩子们之所以会比较容易快乐是因为他们的童真吧。

他们的思想单纯，不会把简单的事情复杂化。

就拿Chu Chu '看拖把' 事件来说吧。不就是一个拖把而已，他竟然能笑得那么开怀。而我们这些大人,会笑也是因为看见他为了拖把而笑。



咳。。。大人真会把简单的事情复杂化。

New chef from the Tang's Family

Yummy Yummy!!! It's the very first time my baby sister take up the chief chef role in our family. She became the overall-in-charge to cook for our dinner. Look at this colourful and mouth-watering dish:









It's a very high class dish, it's panfried linguine. We had all enjoyed the meal, but, it's not because the food is tasty (though it's delicious). It's mainly because we are eating the meal heartily as a family. It's so warm to be able to eat with my whole family.

Of cos, I must have some contribution. However, my dish is effortless. Though the dish is easy to prepare, it's very health. Haha... Well, my dish is none other than... Salad with Thousand Island dressing. Hee hee...












It's another happy family gathering. :-)

Exploring new things

Chu Chu is exploring more new things... He used to be very fearful of the coin drop kiddie ride. However, this time he's not. We placed him in this car kiddie ride, and he enjoyed himself.

This is actually supposed to be a school bus... Hmmm... I hope he'll enjoy going to school in future. :-P









In fact, he has shown 'interest' in reading. He even 'Shhh...' us when we disturbed him. There's a videoclip to show:


Hee hee... Though he may not know what he's reading, he seems to be very engrossed in his reading. I understand that this may not show that he's really interested in reading, but it's still very enjoyable to see how hard he try to 'read'.

Mmm... Chu Chu... Mummy MISS you VVVVEEEERRRRYYYY much whenever you are not by my side.

New hair cut for Chu Chu

Chu Chu had got a new hair cut!!! Phew... It's a REAL challenging task to bring Chu Chu for hair cut. This time, the credit goes to my papa and the barber.

Firstly, my papa brought Chu Chu to sit outside the barber shop for awhile, allowing him to get use to the environment. At least, this time he did not cry before he entered the barber shop. Great! The first challenge is overcome.

Next, the barber was informed that Chu Chu is fearful of hair cut, hence, he carefully put the cape for him, in order not to scare him with the big piece of cloth. However, Chu Chu refused to put the cape on. The understanding barber then tried to put the towel instead. But still, Chu Chu refused to put the towel on. The barber knew that the priority was to get Chu Chu hair cut, he then suggested not to put anything on.

Upon an agreement with my papa over the cape and towel, the patience barber, who claimed that he has 8 grand-children and hence knows very well how to handle hair cutting for toddlers, started to dance and cut Chu Chu's hair at the same time!!! Yes, he danced. Not only did he danced, he also danced childishly with funny hand gesture. By doing so, he managed to bring laughter to Chu Chu. Brilliant!!! Chu Chu was not crying, but, laugh when he got his hair cut!!! Isn't it wonderful?! Salute to the barber!!! For $5, the barber got to dance and cut the hair from this challenging head of Chu Chu. Fantastic service!!! And the hairstyle is pretty 'IN', not 'GONG' on Chu Chu's head, and it makes Chu Chu look more like a boy. See for yourself:

I told myself, Chu Chu will not go anywhere else for haircut, except to this barber shop. :-)

Build Castle cum Vegetarian Steamboat at Jie's place

My baby sister say: "Before dinner, let's build castle."

So what's exactly build castle? Well... It's none other than dry swimming...

So what's exactly dry swimming? Well... It's none other than playing mahjong...

Aiyoh... Playing mahjong say playing mahjong lah... So many different terms... As if it's illegal to play mahjong...

Well...It's a fun mahjong learning session, where all of us enjoyed, except my parents and jie who didn't have or want the chance to sit at the mahjong table.

Here you can see, they're so happy at the table:









Even Chu Chu had enjoyed himself with the tiles:









Well... The mahjong learning session didn't last long, as we're hungry. So we started the sumptous vegetarian steamboat. Yummy!!! Still dreaming of it now.
Look at the ingredients:









All of us had enjoyed ourselves, but I'm not quite sure for KenKen. As he will get hungry easily with vegetarian food.









I definitely had enjoyed, especially the vegetarian balacan. Really YUMMY!!!

And I have learnt something during the steamboat, that is:
1) dorg - means poisonous in Hokkien
2) phang - means smell nice in Hokkien

Hee Hee...

Though he can sweat alot easily and it makes him stinko easily, I still love to smell him. :-)
