One Heck Of An Actor

We met a young boy at one of the houses we visited few days ago, and ohmyGOD how drama mama is that boy! I tell you if his mum wasn't there I'd go up to him and give a good pinch on his arm or thigh or whatever. A slap would be appropriate too.

So this is what happened.

My little boy is still learning to play with others, at 1 year 2 months he's not much of a social butterfly. But my in-laws do train him by playing with his five month old cousin, so far it's been good. Kids that age don't share toys or even worse, get jealous and do evil stuff but Junior can pat his cousin's head when we told him to "sayang-sayang adik". Sometimes it gets violent too like a slap hahahaha but he's a boy.

Anyway!

So at that particular house, there were other toddlers as well, but Junior was very quiet. Takes after his mama you see, not a social butterfly. He liked this toy school bus and took it so he could spin the tyres. But at this particular instance, Junior was holding his baby bites (Wantwant's ultra healthier baby version of that salty two oblong crackers) and standing up when this boy came along holding that particular toy. The boy insisted Junior hold it, shoving it into Junior's chest but Junior couldn't really hold stuff cos one hand was carrying food right duh, so he just stood there.

THEN!!

Out of the blue! The boy cried. Like really omg-I-kena-whack--so-painful kinda cry. He cried while saying "dia tak kasi pegang *sobsob*". He then pushed the toy towards my son to make it look real and ran to his mummy who consoled him.

OH MY GOD ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!?! Both my husband and I saw the whole damn thing (cos we were looking out for Junior in case he ate something he shouldn't) and I totally didn't see my son grabbing that toy! So young and framing people already?! Isn't that too much! Grrr I still get angry thinking of this incident I swear if his mummy weren't there I'd tell him off!

My poor son! He was clueless and he just stood there with a blank face! I was so appalled at the boy's acting! I mean, at four years old you already know how to frame people?! Isn't there any more innocence in kids?! Could this be the result of acting classes and playgroups and watching too much grown up stuff? Sigh. I do hope kids like this are rare. I certainly do not want my son to be bullied especially when he's in school. Can be traumatising, unless you're someone like me who defends back (I kicked a boy before for cutting my queue hahahaha).

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
