Hidden Talent

Our boy did this to himself last week, on Tuesday.

He took a pair of scissors and gave himself a haircut because he felt "hot and sweating a lot".

Thank God he did not cut any part of his skin.

Guess this is a part of growing up....

but he looks really bad now and he doesn't really care. Hmm.....

2nd Professional Haircut

New Haircut by Junior Leagues because Mummy is too tired and pressurized to cut his hair this time given that there is a family wedding next weekend.

The boy wanted it shorter but the hairdresser said something longer will look better in the photos. Turned out to be fun, for me at least, because I discovered they have free coloured hair spray and glitter and they have vacuum cleaner to suck up all the loose hair. Sure beats hearing a 5 year old complain about him wanting to take his shower after barely 1 minute on the chair.

Thought he looks like a little thug over here. Just need some earrings and some gold jewellery and maybe a packet of cigarettes on his shoulder - under his T-shirt, and he is ready to carry out some gangster duties.

On Sunday, it was so heartwarming when the brother fussed over his sister during breakfast. He told her to pull up her hood in case her head feels cold and she duly did so. Then he fed her his half-boiled eggs. Recently, she's grown to request that her brother bath her so we have to rope in Aidan to lead her to the toilet before shutting the door and let him escape.

Well, with all these food sharing and sharing a common bedroom, on top of the haze, they are now both down with cough and our boy is on the inhaler again. Sigh.

New Hairstyle

If you get the chance to meet us in the next few weeks, watch out for the fanciest hair-cut in town.

While cutting my boy's hair yesterday (I have upgraded from scissors to shaver now), my aunt who was visiting, spoke to me and both my son and I looked up while the shaver froze at the same angle. This resulted into a hole in his hair!!!



I was mortified even though it wasn't my scalp that was showing. I kept mumbling to my mom and aunt: "Die, die, my hubby's going to scold me. He's going to kick up a fuss, die, die, die. He always complain when Aidan has a bad haircut"

Both of them came to comfort me and told me it really wasn't that bad, and Mom said I had worse hair days when I was younger when my hair was cut by Dad.

Aidan, on the other hand, was thrilled. He has been asking for a 'botak' hairstyle and in a way, he got his wish because of the botak patch. He wanted one before his aunt's wedding last month and that was out of the question. Strangely, his Dad agreed it was fine this month (I always say: "Go and ask Papa", when he asks me to shave shorter each time) and asked me to give him a crew cut.

Wow, if I can give him a crew cut, I think I would have set up a 'child salon' at home, equipped with a wide-screen TV, refreshing Ribena, and a 'lucky dip' box with sure-win prizes (the kids get so many little toys from the party bags from school) and maybe throw in water-play since they have to shower to thoroughly clean their hair anyway.

By the way, I got really affected and yesterday's hair turned out bad. The sides are uneven and I even cut his ear accidentally - MINOR, think 'paper cut'. He fussed for a few seconds until I gave him my spare Bingo game. I asked him:"So, ok for Mummy to accidentally cut your ear again next time?" He stared at the present, and nodded: "Ok, can!"

Aidan's 1st Haircut

This is The Prince's 1st professional haircut. In the past, I am the one who trimmed his hair with a pair of scissors but without shavers. I wanted to cut his hair on Tuesday evening but he kicked up such a big fuss that I gave up. I told my Mum and him jokingly that let Grandma bring him to a proper hair stylist and she did it the next day! So, he officially had a haircut with his back of his head shaved neatly!

Although I missed being there for my son's 1st haircut but from the mouths' of the helpers and my Mum, I could almost imagine the scene then.

The Prince kicked, screamed and insisted he wanted to go home and let "Mummy cut my hair! I want Mummy to cut my hair!" and he refused his favourite Tom & Jerry cartoons and in the end, ended up sitting on my Mum's lap to have his hair cut. It seems that he wailed so loudly that everyone who was walking into Toys R Us, stopped and looked at him before proceeding into the store.





This morning I asked Amelie if she remembered Kor-Kor cried when he had his haircut. She nodded and imitated him. The maid said her expression was very similar to what happened so I told her to re-enact again in the evening.

Presenting... our little in-house actress, Ammi Ang. (Sorry about the angle, time to give your right side of the neck a little stretch!)
