Easel
Aiden's latest "toy". And yes, the 2 big letter As are written by him. Not bad for a 2 years 5 months old boy ya? He learnt to write the letter A about 2 or 3 weeks ago. With practice on the iPad, he can now write more letters like C, E, F, H, I, L, O, Q, T and so on. Not forgetting numbers 1 and 10 too! Well done Aiden boy!!

i generation
Aiden saw Daddy at the study table, he ran over and asked him:
"Daddy, I want the i-computer"
Haha, a natural connection since he is so familiar with the i-Pad, i-Phone and i-Pod!

A for Apple
My cousin sent me a video of her girl saying A for Apple, B for ball and so on. Inspired, I decided to ask Aiden since its been quite awhile since I last asked him. Here are some of his answers that left my jaw dropping...
J for Jet ski
K for Kayak
Q for Question
T for Turtle
U for Unicycle
W for Wagon
Z for Zig Zag
Ok he has been absorbing all these from his iPad games and the Brainy Baby DVD that he watches :)

So proud of him!
At 2 years and 4 months old...
Daddy: No I didn't see that
Aiden: Aiden saw a green garbage truck!
All in perfect English! And he goes on to add...
Aiden: 垃圾车, garbage truck!
Adding the icing on the cake in Mandarin 😁

Intouchables
Love this show! Highly recommended!
Taken from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1675434/:
In Paris, the aristocratic and intellectual Philippe is a quadriplegic millionaire who is interviewing candidates for the position of his carer, with his red-haired secretary Magalie. Out of the blue, the rude African Driss cuts the line of candidates and brings a document from the Social Security and asks Phillipe to sign it to prove that he is seeking a job position so he can receive his unemployment benefit. Philippe challenges Driss, offering him a trial period of one month to gain experience helping him. Then Driss can decide whether he would like to stay with him or not. Driss accepts the challenge and moves to the mansion, changing the boring life of Phillipe and his employees. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Correction
A few weeks ago, when we visited my cousin Wendy...
Wendy: Aiden, do you like the chair you are stitting on?
Aiden (calmly and without skipping a beat): Stool.
Yes, it was a stool but Wendy thought he might not know the word and chose to use a more generic word instead.
Kids these days are taking too much DHA in their milk.

Permission
Aiden reached out for my phone, which was on the bed
Hubby: No, you have to ask Mummy for permission.
Aiden: Mummy, I want permission
(Yes I believe this is the first time he heard of this word and yes, he pronounced it very accurately)
Hubby: No, you have to ask Mummy for permission.
Aiden: Mummy, I want permission
(Yes I believe this is the first time he heard of this word and yes, he pronounced it very accurately)

7 years Wedding Anniversary
Yesterday was our 7 years Wedding Anniversary and we had a wonderful dinner at KU DE TA. It was a pity that the weather wasn't good and we couldn't sit outdoors. But we really enjoyed the food and realised it was the most expensive meal we have ever had.
Ended the night with a drive up to Mount Faber, something we used to do during the dating days. But it has been about 3 years since we've last been there. Nothing much has changed though we realised that the trees have grown so much that our usual view has been blocked! Hahaha :p
Thank you Hubby for the beautiful necklace and earrings, something I've been wanting! Such a surprise! But it must have burned a BIG hole in your pocket!
