Grandpa's Birthday... @ Mushroom Pot

We had a mini birthday celebration for Grandpa on Saturday at Mushroom Pot at Indoor Stadium. Everyone enjoyed the meal that consisted of very delicious jellyfish starter, steamboat with variety of mushrooms, meat and vegetables, two cooked dishes including Tibetian pork ribs and fried calamari. Cayden loves the fried calamari - check out the second video. :)

We are planning to go back to the restaurant again in a bigger entourage and maybe pay for their buffet dinner. The guys at home surely can eat more and we all enjoy a wider variety of food cooked in their very nice herbal soup base. :)

Chauffeur Cayden Koh

We were at Kallang Indoor Stadium last Saturday to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. Everyone enjoyed the dinner... more pictures to come in next post. :) Anyway, there was this car road show in which Cayden sat in all the cars on display. Thanks to Uncle Sam, Cayden could identify the distinctive parts of the interior of the car including:

1. Steering Wheel
   
   
2. Mirror
3. Gear Knob
   
4. Hand Brake
   
   
   

There was this van he sat in and wanted everyone to get onto the car (see photo below). He tried to check out the number of seats and wanted Grandpa, Grandma and the Aunties to get in... A hunky driver in the making huh...? Still we did not get up onto the car as we were too embarassed to do so!

See for yourself if he is able to identify the distinctive car parts... I was impressed. Within 5 minutes, Cayden recognised and familiarised himself with the 4 parts. :)

D.I.N.G.O

Cayden picked up many new songs lately and one of them being DINGO! The association with animal makes it easier for him to remember this song better. :)

In case you want to hear the complete version, check this video out... It also has him playing with the tangerine and preparing to get out for an evening of fun! So cute!

Savouring His Food

Cayden developed this habit of closing his eyes when he takes a bite of his food. I wonder if he is trying to tell us "AWESOME! The food is great!" or he is just being plain naughty...

Oh My God!!!

Unbelievable! Cayden has been talking so much and they all make senses..........

Today, I bought 5 sets of flash cards for Cayden and we had a great evening exploring the pictures on the flash cards. His favourite set of cards is "Transport" and he could identify alot of the vehicles. The other favourite deck of cards relates to daily necessities. Check out the following video and his expression around 2 minutes 40 seconds when we started talking about sweets and ice-cream.

Cayden was so proud of his own achievements that he started mimicking how we praise him... I nearly fainted!

He is coming back!

The hokkien boy is coming back tomorrow morning!

Why did I say Cayden is a hokkien boy? Oh my... he picks up many hokkien "vocabs" lately. For example:

• Char Bor Lang (woman)
• Dar Bor Lang (man)
• Or Qi (visible bruise)
• Gum Sia (thank you)

Infact, Cayden picked up more rubbish. The other day, Cayden's Mom tried to break the seal of a new bottle of mineral water bottle. She let out a "Oh!". Cayden immediately turned his attention to Mum, frowned and said,"Shit. Oh my God.*". *Witness by Aunty YangMing in Dubai.

OH MY GOD!

Aunty Yangming Visits Dubai

She did so over on May day. Initially I thought Cayden didn't really miss her soooo much:

But I was SO wrong. Cayden is still excited with Aunty Yang Ming around:
