Explanation : Since she starts her cooking class in the school, she really loves to stay with in the kitchen when I am cooking. She will be very helpful to help me take salt,pepper, and other seasonings while I cook. But after a while, she will complain she sweat and perpired and will either take her chair and sit at the corner of the kitchen, or went back to her room and switch on the aircon to cool herself down......tsk tsk tsk....
Story #3: Sandwich
We were in Giant and walked pass Subway.
Me: Eh you know how to make sandwich? I show you...(I bring her into Subway and show her how people place order and how the sandwich was done)
Bb-G: Mummy....I want to eat...I promise you I will not waste the food....I promise you I will finish eating the sandwich
Me: Huh...you sure or not? (I don't believe her because she could have tell me this out of curiousity)
Bb-G: Yes...please mummy....I want to eat ....
So I bought one 6-inch Subway sandwich for her, and she selected roast chicken with cucumber, tomato and ketchup. Then we drove home. In the car
Bb-G: wah....smells so good....can I eat now?
Me: no, go back home to eat...
Back home, she was so impatient, couldn't even wait to open the wrapper and wanted to quickly eat her sandwich. Indeed she really enjoyed her food and managed to finish all...I was very surprised and amazed...
Me: So do you like the sandwich?
Bb-G: yes....very nice.....nicer than McDxxxxx ....
