Yy watches Bolt!

We brought yy to watch his 3rd movie, Bolt! The cinema started off with about 7 people and by the time it ended, there were only 3 of us left! It was kind of weird but I jokingly told mama that it must be the most worth cinema visit because we paid for 2 seats but had the whole cinema to ourselves!

Yy loved the movie alot and when I asked him to rank between Madagascar and Bolt, he unhesistatingly chose... Bolt! But sadly, when asked, he still's afraid of dogs! But only non-white or big dogs! LOL! Well, at least it's an improvement... Here's yy and his imitation of Bolt!

Yy watches Madagascar 2!

This would be the 2nd time we are bringing yy to the cinema. We went to watch Madagascar 2 at City Square. We didn't tell yy in advance because we were afraid of disappointing him (e.g if he's sick, raining or something unexpectedly crops up, etc) so he was most pleasantly surprised. He also looked awed because there were so many kids in the cinema and he was also very excited. He would whisper to me a couple of times to ask about certain scenes and he would also join in the general laughter at times (with a slight delay that we were sure he didn't quite catch the joke but couldn't resist joining in). We also bought him a separate cinema seat but unfortunately, he was too short to see properly so after a minute a too, mama carried him and he sat on her lap.

After the movie, which was very very entertaining (better than the 1st episode), we were ravenous and we then had a sumptous dinner at an Indonesian restaurant. As you can see, yy had a most wonderful day!

Yy learns music!

Yy was very envious when all his jie-jies were learning piano so when the topic was brought up, he quickly chipped in to say that he's also keen. We asked but it seems that at his age, the music schools all felt that they should learn how to appreciate music first before graduating to specific musical instruments.

Here you will see candid pictures of yy (in blue T-shirt) enjoying his music class. His class is on every Sunday 5pm to 6pm. While yy's in the class, mama and papa would then sneak off for a date, which was very difficult since kids joined the household :P

Yy and the bully!

We brought yy to Jusco yesterday and he had a swell of a time riding his "car". Until he was bullied. A rather obstinate and violent child used his car and bumped his car at yy. Yy was shocked! The boy bumped again for the 2nd time and yy got out of his car fuming.

At this point of time, yours truly was startled and was wondering how yy would react. So guess what yy did.




Yy got out of his car and raised his fist and punched the air a couple of times letting of his anger. He did not once hit the bully! On one hand, we are glad that he had good anger management but on the other hand, we're not too sure if that's the right way to handle bullies... We made up our minds then to make sure that we send yy for martial arts training when he gets older...

Yy attempts to read time... unsuccessfully!

Yours truly was enjoying his warm bed on a typical Saturday when yy marched in and demanded that papa wakes up as it seems that the day only starts properly when both papa and mama are awake... yawn!

Papa then tried to buy some time by teaching yy how to read time. Papa told yy that if this long needle moved from the bottom, i.e., at the 30 minute mark, to the top, i.e., the 60 minute mark, then papa will wake up. Papa had hoped to get another half an hour of sleep.

Yy said ok and proceed to stare studiously at the watch. Papa had just adjusted his pillow and was about to continue his handsome sleep when barely half a minute later, yy loudly exclaimed, time's up! It looked like yy was looking at the second hand and not the minute hand.

After demolishing yy's hope and educating him on the finer points on the mystical art of watch reading, papa then continued his handsome sleep. Several minutes later, yy the shook papa up again and said, "Why so slow har? It's not moving."

Hearing this, papa gave up and felt that it's easier to just wake up!

Yy in his first undies!

Wow! This sure is a week full of firsts. After the short adventure on yy and his bicycle, we are pleased to report that grandma bought yy his first set of undies, with yy proudly displaying it to papa and mama :)

Yy drives his bicycle!

Finally! Yy has finally done it! He finally learned how to ride his bicycle last week. Previously, he could only half-cycle, i.e., his feet will go on half a revolution to propel his bicycle forward.

Unfortunately, grandma reported that he had suffer a fall and broke one of the bicycle's brake handle before achieving success. This serves to remind yy that... failure is the mother of success :D

So, never give up Yy!!! Papa and mama always behind yy :)
