Yes, yes, yes…you guys saw the "water hamster-capsule" that freaked Elkan out last week. So, this May Day, we brought Elkan to "Zhongshan Gardens" to try the "land hamster-capsule". Hate to say this, it IS the same OUTCOME.

Before we put Elkan inside this air-vessel, he was very excited and persuaded me to buy the tickets. When I bought the ticket, Elkan said "Daddy, you go inside, I roll you outside." I wished I could too. My fat ass was too big for the hole and I struggled a little while just to get my fat body inside. Once inside, the operator walked over to us and hinted in a nice way that this capsule is for kids (of course, I know that cos I can’t feel that "bouncing on air" feeling – I was sitting flat on the ground!). Anyway, there is no way we can get Elkan inside. And I have to tease him with toys and candies – eventually, Elkan went in, tried 5-seconds and started wailing. What a shame.

 

Later that evening, we met "Team EFG" (Echo, Francis and Grey) for dinner. After dinner, we decided to let our 2 kids run wild in the indoor playground. Francis and I went in to accompany our boys. Grey is certainly a big bully and he got into a small fight with a local girl. He punched her face and she was yelling at him. When she turned her head away to complain to her mother, Grey punched her at the back of her head. Ouch! Her mother came and dragged her away. Elkan sensed the commotion and was standing far away, trying to get himself away from "trouble". (Anyway, Grey had punched Elkan on the face many many times – and Elkan never fight back once. Talk about being…ahemm.. Gentleman.)

The boys had almost 40 minutes of fun. Francis and I were sweating in our pants, trying to chase after them. For father and sons, it was a great 40-min bonding time for us. What about the ladies? Well, they certainly dun look as excited as us.  (See Below)

Instead of bluntly telling us dickheads "Please aim accurately" or "Control your member" or "Watch your pee-spray" or "Please hover your penis inside the urinal"  – we have more civilised messages here.

This must be some sort of "Curtin Friends Visiting Week". By sheer coincidence, Serene and Shin (+ Dendy) "invaded" our little Shanghai home this week. It was such a great pity that Serene left Shanghai on Thursday and Shin turned up on Sat. I can imagine Felicia and Shin sighing "if only Serene can extend just 1 more day"… (Phew, good news for me! Cos’ I cannot "tahan" both of these spice girls together. It is wise not to "engage" two of them without Limbo). Man, these girls have teeth like Simon Cowell.

We had a different type of "fun" with Shin and Dendy. It is call "feasting". Check out these delicious food! Yummy! (Man, it is difficult to lose weight with such temptation! I suggested to bring Den out for some night sport sexercise to lose those grease – surprisingly with Shin’s 100% blessing.) Lucky for my tummy, I flew out of Shanghai this morning to "avoid" these sinful temptation.

Shin and Den love and spoilt Elkan so much. They have so much patience for this little rascal. They let Elkan terrorized their precious camera and handphones. Felicia and I sure welcome their kindness… and in return for their kindness…we will allow Shin to "rent" Elkan for an unlimited period of time. Sister May and Sally (thanks for reading my blog), you guys got to hint hint your unique vegan friend about…wedding bells…and possibly…a little Denshin, huh? Yes..we felt she is ready. 🙂

Okay, time to do my crunches now.
