Hao's auntie and her 2 beautiful kids flew over to Singapore from Australia over the weekends. Hao and myself had the chance to bring the trio out to Sentosa for a day where the kids could enjoy themselves at the beach.
The 2 kids were simply adorable. I just can't say how adorable they are. The boy, Lachlan, being 4 years old while the girl, mickaer, is only 14 months. Lachlan speaks with a pretty thick Aussie accent and I could not understand him when he spoke to me for the first few times. After awhile i got pretty much used to it and i was able to fully understand him. Something very cute about him would be the way he says "yes" to you. Instead of "yes" he would say "yeh". haha...i love the way he says it. Yeh Yeh Yeh.
Lachlan was super friendly as well. He didn't keep a distance from me even though that was the first time we met each other. HE even allowed me to hold his hands and walk round Vivo.
Mickaer was a little more foreign towards me and didn't want me to carry her. She kept leaning towards Hao gor gor. Nonetheless she is so beautiful.
The 2 kids. =)
Mickaer was so mischievous. Lochlan was asleep in the stroller and Mick would walk very unsteadily over to the stroller and start poking Loch on the face.The more Mick pokes the happier she gets and the point is Loch never gets angry with her. It was such a sight to see it.
Another picture of Mick having a pomelo over her head. Look how small she is. 14 months old baby. One thing i'm so impressed about her is that whenever she falls down she never cries. She would pick herself up and continue walking. How cool.
The difference between Singaporean kids and Aussie kids are so significant. You can tell from the way they behave in public. I was seriously impress with their behaviour on that day. Loch could eat all on his own without any help from the mother. He's very independent for such a young age. He's appreciative of what you do for him and he listens to his mother. When the mother says no to something, he understands. And lastly the biggest difference would be his command of English. He speaks super well.
Mick as well was very well brought up.
I feel that they are not too sheltered. They are allowed to have fun and not be worried that they would get hurt.
Take for example, Mick was allowed to have ice cream and to drink cola. I'm sure many local parents would definitely not feed their 14 month old children that fearing that they would be down with cough or whatsoever. She was allowed to go into the sea and to play with water.
Whenever they fall, no one would rush to them and make a big fuss over it. They would learn how to pick themselves up on their own unlike kids over here. I've seen so may cases when a little child falls and the mother, the father, the grandmother, grandfather would all run to him/her and make such a big fuss. That's not the case over there.
That's the way i feel it should be.
Lastly this is our shot we took with Mick.
They flew back to Aus today and i sure will miss them lots.
