of kids fleece blanket

We saw a newletter in our mailbox advertising a "The Cars" kids fleece blanket. Since Lancerlad likes Pixar cartoons, Lancerlady thought it would be nice to buy one for him.

We did not expect the blanket to be big since it was meant for kids. When we opened up, the blanket was big enough to cover Lancerlady, Lancerlad and Lancerkid. It was also big enough for Lancerlad to play Obi Wan Kenobi.

of see bird

We spotted an eagle perched on top of a tree outside our flat. I took out a binoculars and showed Lancerlad how to use it. This was the first time Lancerlad has used a binoculars.
Lancerlad: So small, daddy.
Lancerlord: You are looking into the wrong side.

It was funny the way Lancerlad handled the binoculars. Especially when he tried to use both eyes to look into the eyepieces.

The next few hours, he kept playing with the binoculars.

of do i look like a girl to you?

The other day I was paying a bill that was addressed under Lancerlady's name.

After I handed the bill to the customer service officer over the counter, he asked
CSO: "So you are Mr Mary." (Let's take it that Lancerlady's name is Mary.)
* Lancerlord blur. Pause for a while. Trying to re-wire brain *
Lancerlord: "No that's my wife's name."
CSO: "Oh ya, Mary Chio Char Bor." (Let's take it that Lancerlady's full name.)

Hello? Bak Chew Tak Stamp. Do I look like a girl to you? And I swear Lancerlady's name is clearly clearly a lady's name. Put both English and Chinese names together, so very obvious is a female name. Unless I chop off my....

Something is very wrong when I read this Straits Times article about IRAS taking part of the "Progress Package" money from people that owe tax.

18,000 Pay Tax Debts With Progress Package Money

Pity those people. It is "Hentak Kaki" package for them, not Progress Package.

of left-hander

After reading Gary's post about his kid being a left-hander, I also want to talk about Lancerkid.

Lancerkid is also a left-hander. There was once we passed him a colour pencil, pointed to his right hand and told him to use his right hand to draw. He nodded and waved his right hand. Then he took the colour pencil with his right hand, passed the colour pencil to his left hand and started to draw using his left-hand.

We knew that he will be a left-hander long ago and we do not intend to correct him. However the older generation folks keep correcting him whenever they play with him.

of punctured

Lancerlad asked about the tyre that was attached to the rear of a 4x4. I said it was to replace the tyre when it gets punctured. I ended up spending some time to explain the meaning of punctured to him.

Lancerlad: Punctured? What punctured?
Lancerlord: Punctured is when the tyres has no air. Just like balloon.
Lancerlad: What punctured?
Lancerlord: When tyres punctured, the car cannot move.

In the end, he said.
Lancerlad: Punctured like pang sai

of huh here and there

There was a period of time when Lancerlad keeps using the word "Huh?" a lot. So we asked him why he keeps saying that. He said he could not hear properly.

We took him to the doctor to have his ear checked and the doctor said that it could be because of ear wax. So the doctor prescribed some ear drop solution.

Yesterday when cheeky Lancerlad heard Lancerlady said "Huh?", he said "Mummy why you say huh? Cannot hear is it? You need ear drops ah!"
