Kienys Reverie Moment: Guan Yu 5yo

I see them once a vacation every year, and I’m always glad that they still remember how to address me when I got home. They have an idea that I’m in Australia but they have no idea where is that place, whenever I pack a bag for outing when I was back in Malaysia – a few questions will come along “You are going back to Australia again?”, “You are not coming back anymore?”, “Why you keep coming back and going off?”

The eldest is my niece, people always say in majority – brain of a girl grows faster. She’s 8yo with lots of empathy – she’ll listen to me, ask questions, stay obedient, teach the right thing to the younger and never liked to play game. While my nephew, 5yo cares nothing more than games and mobile, he’ll ask heaps of questions with interest and work his way until he gets his hand on the mobile game. And the youngest nephew, 2yo who still can’t talk, have the interest to snatch whatever the 5yo plays – nothing else and I call him the king because he gets everything once he shout. All three of them grow under the same roof with totally different character!

It’s the second time that I celebrated my nephew birthday, the first time was in the hospital when he still have bloody stain on his face after birth – they said he looks like a monkey and he falls under the year of Monkey under the lunar calendar, coincidently born during the midnight of day 8 in the new year period (初八) so they said he’s one of the 天公仔 (Hokkien Translation “Ti Gong Kia”) which also mean the son of the Chinese God.

Whether it’s true or not, I can’t be bothered but I do think he have a monkey look and when time goes by, he even acted like one -he become very mischievous when he gets older.

Until today, he has become a smart kid with good memory for his own good. I mean once you teach him something he’s interested like games, he pick it up right away and play it really well – he got a good logical brain and obey his sister but still too naughty to listen to others.

For his 5yo birthday, we made a party for him in my aunt’s place so that my younger cousins can celebrate together, play in the pool, run around the place, dominate each other’s toys, and snatch for the cake and all the delicious food.

My cousins - needless to say that they are game freaks as well since they are boys – the Photostat-face brothers!

The food is so nice that I can’t stop myself as well, best when it still comes with soup! I don’t know what to name them since it’s all cooked by my aunt – even better than my mum’s cooking. Damn!
