Surprise! Surprise! Ben just learned himself how to swim by floating face up for several feet. We were really surprised as we did not teach him and he did not swim often. In fact, we let him swim once every 1 or 2 months recently. I don’t think he even tried this swimming style the last time we swam although daddy and mummy swam this way sometimes. We usually bring him to the playground or park for exercise, but just found that his appetite is better after swimming compared to playing in the playground.
So far, there are two things that Ben learned himself, without us teaching him. One is drawing, the other is swimming. We’ve been talking about sending him to swimming class and art class but did not really take action. I guess we better take action.

Sometimes old presents are more precious than new ones as they have sentimental values. Recently, Ben inherited some of Daddy’s 30-year-old (or may be more) childhood stuffs, when Daddy cleared up his old house in his home town. Daddy brought back a box of Legos, cars, stickers, a blanket that he used when young, his old shirt and some of Daddy old photos, that look like him. Yes, these were hidden treasures for the past 30 years. Most of the Legos are still good although some have turned slightly crooked. Cars are still in good shape and some of the doors can be opened up. And the cars were made in France, UK, Hong Kong etc that we can’t find in the market now. Ben loves to use the blanket and wear the old shirt but it’s a little too big for him. He asked for the shirt to wear many times . It tells how much he loves Daddy :*)

Yay!, Daddy has found a new activity for Ben, making dumplings or paus! Daddy and mummy let Ben see and help in making bread, cakes and paus since we got Noxxa Oven with dough kneader, which makes life easy. Daddy usually makes bread and paus while mummy makes cakes. It’s a fun time unless Ben does not listen to our instruction. We have tried assorting beans, meat, kaya etc. inside paus but Ben and Mo Mo prefers plain paus. Plain paus are simply delicious with Pork dish with sweet gravy :*) Recently, Ben created Milo pau, which turned out nice with chocolaty flavor!
We notice that the commercial paus and bread are much whiter due to using beaching chemicals. And many good nutrition are lost due to bleaching. We can also get non-bleached flour at affordable price.
So, it’s time to have fun making nutritious and delicious paus and breads.

Here is our paus.

Ben’s Milo Pau, looks pathetic but yummy…

Hot Paus anyone?

Anniina turned 2 years in Gunung Jerai when we went there for a night trip on 4th Feb. We enjoyed the chilly weather and mountain view together with our friends from Iran. Ben and Annina enjoyed playing with Arshida. Arshida was like a big sister to Anniina. The place is just nice to lazy around or just read a book with a cup of tea. We also had a great view from our hotel room. The food was good at restaurant too.
Happy Birthday Mo Mo!

These are some of the good ones that Ben drew in recent months. We put them up on our living room walls.

He named it “Tunnel” and wrote it there himself asking us how to spell.

Ben I am Not??

Daddy and Mummy like this one very much except the background coloring.
He drew it before his concert. He said it’s him with 2 big eyes performing on the stage
and flowers are given by audience. ha ha..
We don’t know where he has seen audience give flower to performers.
