My New Toys

Daddy had made Mal some new toys. First is some electric circuit stuff that he salvaged from one of his toy car which was no longer working. He dismantled the electronic stuff inside and converted it to a really cool toy for Mal. It had a switch that could alternatively turn on the light bulb and a fan that spins! Mal was so happy with his new indoor toy. Daddy has always disagrees in buying toys for Mal as he likes to get nostalgic and compare how kids in the past managed to find things to play even when their parents did not splurge on toys. To him, toys can be found everywhere, with just a bit of imagination. As for me, I tend to splurge a bit more on toys as sometimes the sales for the toys here are too good to pass up!

I am happy with the new toy Daddy made for Mal as at least I feel that Daddy is making an effort, instead of lamenting on how Mal should be using his imagination for play. When you are the one playing with him everyday, new toys seem an easier option instead of imagination!

Another new toy Daddy had made for Mal was a simple outdoor stove. Mal now loves to go to the backyard to play with his new stove. He loves cooking soup and making porridge with coconut milk. He loves fixing up dinner using his new stove. Soil, leaves and water is what he used. Think Daddy is right, it sure can be quite fun with a little bit of imagination.

    Excellent job DAD! Neat…loads of memory in the science lab for all, I bet…huh?!?

    Must say, many should learn from Mal’s dad…Shin has been a very participative father, and a good husband all these while…from ‘making’ Mal to taking care of Mal since he was born…and the support he provides to Fang!

    Keep it up….DAD!

    Agree, he must be having a superb time there…especially without you!

    Poor gal, sick and yet have to take care of Mal who is also sick. Whereas, Mr. F16 pilot is probably boozing, partying and happily glazing on the beach!

    Hiahz…don’t know what to say, just praised him, and now like gotta take it back…sighz.

    Anyway, he will be back soon, right…so u and Mal won’t be alone then. May be, start thinking how to spend the coming weekend fruitfully!
