Lunch Date

Oliver has done so well over the weekend in the KL tournament and he has been so good keeping up with his study. He has done lots of Japanese writing and math practice. Very focused and doing so in a good mood. So I really wanted to spend this afternoon doing what he would like to do.

We hopped on a bus to Bedok and went to the mall. First he wanted to check out the book shop to see if there are any more Roald Dahl books there.

He was given 4 of these books for Christmas from the Fenwicks and just looooooves them. He cannot read all the books himself yet but he has been so keen to listen to the stories. Unfortunately we couldn't find anymore there. He had great time looking through lots of different books though (definitely the Rose DNA!!)

Then he chose sushi for lunch. When we go there as a family we always sit outside at a family table but for the first time we sat at the counter and enjoyed watching the chefs making sushi.

Writing the order down:

I love how he eats sushi, just like a proper Japanese person!!

Then he wanted to see his favourite shop in the mall. The LEGO shop. He has been there a number of times in the last two months eyeing out a particular StarWars set. Since the start of the year we have decided he can do little jobs in the house and earn some money instead of giving him pocket money for nothing. Making beds (his own, Luca's or ours) or watering the plants etc. He gets 20c a job. 

He has been very patient and not spent any of the money he got until today. But finally he made a BIG MOVE! He bought s $20 LEGO with his own money!!!

After this all he wanted to do was to go home and make his new LEGO. Not to mention he played with it for a long long time... 

It was such a lovely day to be able to see Oliver smiling so much :) :) :)
