love triangle

This happened when I was catching my drama on viikii while Rey is (still) eating his dinner.
I must have looked too excited when watching the scene of girl A (good) sharing a ride with boy B (bad turning good boy) on the same bicycle, all this being witnessed by the evil 'girlfriend' of the boy.
I: This is so sweet....oh no, the girl sees it!
Rey: what's so interesting? (walking towards my laptop)
I: They're riding on a bicycle but the girlfriend sees it!
Rey: This girl is angry?
I: yah, never mind, she's bad. She's evil. It's a love triange.
Rey & I: whahahahahaha...
seriously I don't know why he's laughing that ticklish kind of laughter for like 3 minutes. He's too small to understand love dramas, right?

authocratic mama?

I: Can you wash your hands before you eat that snack? Anyway, please take a shower before your snacks! And I want you to throw that dirty socks into the washing machine, clothes too...blablabla..
Rey: mama, you are controlling me!
Yah, and sometimes he says I'm noisy too. Doesn't this happen in teens? He's too early for that. Time to adopt a new approach.

Transformers 2

I love sci-fic movies. Transformers 2 hit the screen in Japan today. It's quite weird when I had zero interest in Transformers cartoons 20 years back. But after watching Transformers 1 with Rey, I'm hooked! I wanna go so badly ... but have to wait till next Wed b'cuz Wed is ladies day with tickets at 1000yen = S$15. Yah, usual price is exorbitant at 1500yen, more than twice the price in Singapore. I don't mind waiting a few more days; at least there is something for me to look forward too.

Rey is pestering me to bring him after school. Still considering. He's definitely going to bombard me with all those questions like "I thought Megatron died already? Why's he back?" till I can't concentrate. poor Rey, his mama is selfish (evil smile).

macha day

Need a cold desert on a hot day.

Bubbles

Made this bubble solution to keep Rey entertained for 1 hour. I got a shock when I saw his hands all wrinkled and white, I thought the skin is going to fall off.

Fractions

Made some harsh browns for breakfast today. It was so good and I realised that 1 harsh brown for each of us is just not justified. papa was still in bed so I suggested,
I: Let's eat up papa's share! So we can have half each, ok? (nodding frantically, too lazy cook again)
R: ok, why not, we give papa half and we can have a quarter each?(Good! He can apply fraction!)

lettuce

This is called "sunny lettuce". Rey was talking about how nice it tasted when the school teacher dipped it in mayonaisse+soya sauce (I added sesame oil too). So I bought 1 whole bunch of it and prepared the salad for us 3. I went off to do other chores and when I returned to the table 10 minutes later, the whole salad is already gone. Rey has eaten it all up! He's a rabbit. not surprised when he asked for a 2nd serving.

toilet business

One of Rey's hobby is singing in the toilet while he does his business. Today he made a necklace out of toilet paper.

sailor uniform

From today, Rey has to wear his summer uniform (so cute!)

road work

shovel cars, pumps and roller.

There was a roadwork (renewing road) going on in the middle of the night just right outside our house. A perfect night for Rey as he could look down the window and see his favourite vehicles at work. I was amazed at the worker's efficiency. The whole stretch of old road slabs were dug out, ground flattened, cement filled and rolled over, all in 4 hours. Somehow, we slept through the noise.
