It will so much easier for HuaiHao if he recognises the talent and gift he has- of speaking.

He has it.

Like when we lay down on the bed in the afternoon when Qinzhi has tuition and we just blabber about anything and it has to be about the cube of late

We spoke about the algorithms and I asked him how many he has mastered. To which he replied, “I have to do xxx do xxx do yyyy do yyyy and I still have my work at McDonald’s”

And what is that work I asked?

“It’s humour mom! Where has yours gone to?”

Huaihao is pretty consistent when it comes to walking, because he is an early riser.

And this is him up to mischief

One night he just donned his boxer shorts on his head, but it became this cute little thing

On national day, we headed out for a treat of jet displays and fireworks

One day I had to head out for an interview, I came home with this awesome fried rice and double boiled fish maw soup, plus a bottle of XO sauce. And the little foodie is over the moon.

Fridays are at ah mei ah yi’s as always. Whenever huaihao gets there, the first thing he does is to head over to ah yi and tell her about the week, the day-like a report of sorts of how his week went by. And dinner ends with a massage and a squeezy hug

On another morning, Huaihao came to me and when i said i wanted to head out for a walk, he gamely joined me. And we had such a great session in the morning, he trained me and said i would have to exert myself to get sweaty and healthy.

“it takes months and perhaps years, its not like you run for a few days and then you get all muscular and lean.”

so he coached me and egged me on, sharing with me tips and tricks on running, sprinting and jogging. After which we took bus to breakfast, i told him the blush on my face is my reward.

On another afternoon, i needed help with collecting some stuff, and huaihao kindly came along to help too, so how could i not offer an acai back in return?

Of late, Huaihao is very much into poached eggs, he’s been trying his hand-and wasting some eggs in the process, but otherwise, very much feeling and knowing cooking isn’t that easy after all.

During the P6 prelims, huaihao had 2 days off, and we headed out for a Mission Impossible treat before meeting qinzhi for lunch. And the movie was so good it was worth every cent!

On the weekend after Qinzhi finished her papers, we took ourselves out of home and had a dim sum lunch and a Venchi!

Just got out of the room after bedtime with huaihao and I got so much to jot down. I was asking him if I m asking too much of his dad, and huaihao said, “a bit. You can’t expect everyone to be like what you want.”

“Just move on la.”

I asked him how?

“What do you enjoy doing?” Huaihao asked.

“So…it’s like you immerse yourself in it and lose yourself in it?”

“Ya… just like I like cubing and I just do and do and do, and the rest fades away.”

“Also, you can change the way you think. By using the things around you. For example, you see a nice car, and you don’t just let it go by, you appreciate it, maybe for some other people, this car doesn’t matter, but to you, if you see it, it changes you- already.

And you can ask questions and wonder. Like how when you pull the break, why is it that the wheel all the way to the back can be affected? But it is also not about finding the answer. Because once you find the answer, then it’s no fun liao. Because then you have to go on two the next one. Also not that la, but it’s like you have a very expensive sweet and you nibble on it, finding the answer is not the aim, but you can wonder and ask questions, and that is how you find out about the world around you. It’s like maybe at the other end of the universe there is another world.

wow.

Is that not the closest I can get to the divine.
