Puzzles and Rubik cube

Can Lucas fix puzzles and configure Rubik's cube? Hmm, in a fashion he does. In the spirit of constructive criticism, Lucas is rather "creative" in upping the challenge fixing the puzzles and Rubik's cube.

Here is what he did:

See the fuschia pink circle, that's the Rubik's cube or part of it anyway. He literally took them apart, making it more challenging to put them back together again and configure it. I don't know if fixing it back together again is still possible after so many err, disassemblies.

Now the red circles, those are parts of the two pieces of puzzles. He, well, he broke them. I suppose there are more pieces to fix now to complete the puzzle.

I did tell you that he ups the challenge...

Megastructures

We were having cell meeting at our place and Lucas was quietly playing with his blocks. He built a main twin structure like this although one of the rectangular block fell off. He categorized the green blocks by shapes too.

See the rectangular block that fell off? He didn't notice it I suppose, too engrossed categorizing his green blocks.

And he categorized the rest by colors too...I wonder if the repeated pattern of the blue blocks are on purpose. It does seem to be an organized pattern. Admittedly, we (Marcus and I) were a bit distracted from cell's skit practice by our little boy's amazing creativity at this point.

Lucas in Penang

Over Deepavali weekend, was at Penang for Daniel's fullmoon. And Lucas got a gift from grandma - a trumpet. But cousin Samuel wants trumpet instead and not the saxophone. So, they 'share' and exchanged. Good boys. The saxophone has become a water catchment instrument for Lucas' saliva since 'acquisition'.

Here, Lucas is riding on a springy pony in the playground at cousin's Samuel's condominium, Bays Water View. Both boys became bff on this trip, exchanging declarations of love.

Lucas: I love you" (repeats to Samuel again and again)
The next day, Samuel returns the affection...
Samuel: I love you, Lucas. (Then, took Lucas hand and gave it a kiss!)

It was so hard to get a picture of Lucas putting his face at this little peep hole at the playground. Only a nano-second will he put his face there...

For more pictures of the trip, will just have to wait for Marcus to upload from his camera, if ever

Lucas and Alicia


They were cuddling...sorta. Alicia had her head on Lucas' shoulder but my phone camera too slow la. Captured only post cuddle...

The biter

This picture was taken over a year ago, right before he turned 1 years old. He was biting the Osim's eye massager, doubling as Lucas' teething toy. A year later, the eye massager is Lucas' man-bag. He slings the strap over his arm and tells us - Bye!

Football anyone?

No..please, carry

This is his first visit to the barber. He was happy to see people having their hair cut but not when is his turn. He cried so pitifully, begging me to rescue him: "No, don't want, please carry" - he repeated that over again and again. Poor guy hehe.

Super Baby!

Oops, his diaper 'zhao geng' a bit. This SuperMan romper comes with a cape too, awesome!

I love to read!

This was taken on a Sunday evening, after Lucas woke up from his nap. He asked for a book and promptly settled down underneath the comforter. He named all the animals in the book, but he tends to confuse between the white fluffy puppies and baby polar bears in that book. Sometimes baby polar bears are puppies to him...

Our room gets the evening sun too, but we only had the fan turned on. But he doesn't mind, with or without fan, with or without aircond, he loves to snuggle under a blanket or comforter!

I love Hokkien Mee

We were having dinner in Pandamaran and this is Lucas enjoying his plate of Hokkien Mee. He loves his Hokkien Mee. He says 'Mee-nul' - which means noodles.

The mystery of missing Stitch ear


One day, realized Stitch was missing an ear. Searched Lucas' cot, car seat, play pen, under the bed and nearly everywhere. Still no blue ear till now. Probably the answer to the mystery lies with Lucas...
