sunshine:): child's play

it was wesley's 4th birthday yesterday and my family brought him out for dinner. seems like we celebrate his birthday for him every year.not long ago, he was just a little baby making all sorts of goo-goo gaa gaa noises. and now he's talking non-stop. that kid is uber cute. especially when he tries to speak like a grown up when he is infact um, really tiny. haha. we were in the car and he kept thinking he was ben ten and i was an alien. i died many times. according to him (because of his superpowers..yeah right). it was really funny the way he jumped from one topic to the next. one moment he was fighting me as an alien, the next, he was teaching me how to play tennis. after he "whack whack whack shoot shoot shoot.." he suddenly went "jie jie sheena, do you know how to play games?" i was like of course i do. so i asked him "what games do you like to play? do you know how to play badminton?" he frowned at me and went "i dont play badminton. but i know how to play tennis? do you know how? i can teach you.. first you hit the ball. then you wait for it to bounce...then you see your opponent hit the ball...then you wait and then you whack and then you can WINNNN!!" yeah. a four year old giving me advise on how to be the next maria sharapova. haha. a few seconds later. he returned to killing alien/s (me).

when we got out of the car, he went, "what place is this? australia?" shit. i laugh until stomachache trying to explain to him that we are still in Singapore. he's argument was "but ben ten can fly! just now i use my superpower to fly already. are we in America? ben ten live in America leh" so the whole night was basically about ben ten and how he was ben ten and how he wants to eat "american food" so he can be like ben ten. since we were going to shokudo with not much "american food" i had to make up stories to satisfy his curiousity about american food (ok, i know, very bad to bluff small kid. but it was seriously too tempting cause his reactions were damn funny) i told him we were eating japanese food and that ben ten ate japanese food when he was a small boy so that he could grow fast and strong. but of course, my shallow knowledge of cartoon characters was no match for his. he immediately corrected me saying "no ben ten ate alot of veggie and carrot that's why he's so strong." ok whatever. i couldn possibly tell him to eat veg and carrots on his birthday so i just let it go. den i bluffed him that astro boy who was ben ten's cousin was from japan and ate alot of japanese food and that seemed to convince him. although i didnt know what i was talking about (my sis later told me that i was right and that astro boy was from japan. haha. seems like im quite accurate in bullshitting sometimes) well he happily ate and asked 10million questions about the food, the people, what i study, what my mum likes to eat...he's super random but i guess that's cause he's still a kid. after it all, i thought he was satisfied with the jap food. but when we were leaving the restaurant, he tugged at my shirt and went "jie jie, i want french fries and ice-cream. that's american food right?" so we went to macs and got him that. he can eat alotttt mans.

oh well. had a great time with that rascal. although he spent the whole night trying to convince me that i was dead because i was an alien and he was ben ten.
