A friend of my mom got Cassie this pink wonder tutu for Cassie last year. Last year when she saw the dress, she didn't seems to care at it at all.
Last Sunday morning, she saw the dress hanging in her closet and asked very very nicely "mom, can i wear this dress please, please please".
Once she has the tutu on, she start her dancing and swirling again the whole morning. I guess this year, the dress carries some meaning and it attached some imagination and play with it which makes it fun.
btw, i think the name 'tutu' sounded very conflicting with the dress :). But, what's in a name anyways rite ?!
The Great 'Tutu'
Imaginations and Pretend plan
Cassie has moved on from playing with her toys to playing inside her imagination world. Anything can be her toys nowadays, she can stage a whole drama with a piece of paper. Now, she's a bit over with the 'princess' thing and more toward 'SUPER HEROs'.
During the weekend, when we were travelling in the car, Cassandra told me that she's a supergirl and i'm a supergirl (too) and her dad is 'superman'. Then she told me that i have 'fire' power, she has the 'leaf' power and her dad got the 'storm' power. I know where those power from. I have the 'fire' power, because i'm the one cooking most of the time, i'm near the fire (or perhaps when i'm angry with her she can feel the smokes hehe), she has the 'leaf' power because i got her a 'leaf' shaped necklass the other day. And her dad's 'whirl-pool' type storm power is from the game Cassie shared with her dad. Her dad will pick her up and swing in circle (like carousel).
keke, so there you go, the 'history' of our super powers. That day, we just played along, imagine the big trucks are 'bad guys' and we're there to stop them by using our super-power. We shielded, ducked, hide, screamed, make funny faces, shouted ready-set-go and set off with our super powers. She laughed so loud and had so much fun.
Sometimes, we really do not need expensive toys to have fun. The best things in life are really free afterall.
Trip To the Penang Hill
I was having a conversation with my India counterparts and got to know that he and his wife came to Penang a couple of years ago for 'HONEYMOON'. I imagine that Penang is like a 'Hawaii' or a "Mauritius" for them. I am surprised and glad to hear that and asked him what are the places he visited. He told me one of the place that he and his wife hired a taxi to is the 'Penang Hill'.
I then realised that sometimes (well maybe a lot of time, *sheepish*), we took things for granted. My in-law's house is located at the foot of the Penang Hill and it's 10 mins away from the cable car station ! And determine to change the taking for granted attitude, we went up the hill last weekend.
Penang Board Of Tourism and the Penang State Government should really focus more on renovating the place and fixing the cable car. We were disappointed that we can only ride the cable car up to the 'middle station'. When check with the station director, they are expecting another 3 months of work before the cable cars can reached the upper station. Well, then again, there's the hiking trail that one can take to reach the top :)
Nonetheless, the trip was fun for Cassie. It took about 1 hr for a round trip and RM2.00 per adult. She pointed out the tracks immediately and ask me where's the train. Then follow with a lot of questions, what's this/that, look mom, what's the sound, what happend to the door, who's moving the train (haha).
It's definitely worth it to visit again, but wait till Feb 09 :)
Some markers and papers
Cassie makes wonder with her new markers. She requested to be on the floor when she draw (perhaps cooler), and has different 'pose'.
Sharing dinner
I cooked up some japanese-style curry thinking that i can hv a quiet solo dinner. I made sure Cassie had her dinner first and then i took out my dinner. Came along Cassie and she insisted to share my dinner. She just dip the curry like nobody business and eat away.
What it feels like to be near the ocean ?!
All islanders out there, you know what i mean here, don't cha ?! When you're near the beach or ocean, you tend to let loose and just want your hair to fly with the ocean's breeze. Forget the tingling sensation the sand makes your feet feel, the glueyness on your skin from the air and the piercing ray from the hot sun to your eyes. Forget those, they doesn't matter. Instead you just want to hear the sounds of the waves, smell the scent of the ocean and feel the heat of the sun on your face. I love the beach, i think it's in my dna :)
