An energetic little boy

Today we went to Queensbay Mall again. Quite boring for us but it was fun for our son as he can release his young accumulated energy by walking all around the mall. Ethan tends to be quite independent and does not like people to hold his hand when walking. If you try to hold his hands, he would quickly squat down on the floor. Once released his hand, he will sprint out and rush out of your hold. The way he walks is also quite unstable and he is like half running and rushing as he walks. Today, he stumbled for quite a few times at Borders bookstore. Luckily Borders' flooring is all carpeted. However, even though Ethan did not suffer any wound, he is also quite painful each time he fell. He would point to his knee and indicated "pain pain".

Initially we wanted to buy the Japanese flashcard for Ethan but at last we decided not to. Need to think twice as the cards are not cheap. The flashcard is quite good actually and both mummy and Ethan could learn the language - daddy thinks so! The card comes with the word in front and then follow by some examples of the use of the words. Behind the card there are English description explaining the words. We should buy it but mummy, the financial controller does not approved. :-(

Queensbay Mall starts to have Chinese New Year decoration in preparation for the festive season. Both daddy and Ethan took some photos in front of the decorations.


We had our lunch at "Sushi Kin". After eating Ethan developed some rashes on his stomach. Mummy thinks that it might be caused by allergy to light soya beans source in the Japanese noodle. He started to scratch his belly. We were amazed that the rashes developed so fast. Need to be careful in future. Other than this, Ethan's appetite is as usual very good. He finished the 2 pieces egg mayo sushi, some portion of daddy's Japanese noodle soup, 1 whole Yakult and some Chawan Mushi (which is mummy's favorite). Mummy order the Saba set thinking that Ethan could eat the fish. However, when it came we found that it was drenched and served in Thai chilli source. It is a no touch for Ethan. Also the Saba fish has quite a lot of fish bones unlike fish served in Japan normally do not have bones. I guess local Japanese food can get away with fish bones. Daddy missed the real Japanese foods from his day in Japan.

At Jusco toy section we bought something for Ethan which is an education toy game. What mummy likes about this toy is that it teaches math.

After walking for few hours in mall, Ethan felt really tired. He quickly fall in deep sleep after reaching home. He broke his own record by taking the nap for 4 hour.
