Treating A Special Kind of Fever

Recently people have been falling sick here and there, Juan Or and Mommy included - the usual cough, sore throat and flu that comes over and over again. But both Juan Or and Mommy are also experiencing another kind of fever - the Transformers Fever!

These are the ways both Juan Or and Mommy tended to the fever......


1. Went to Parkson at Subang Parade to see Transformers toys, took photos with a Transformers standing poster.....

.....and thereafter to Toys R'Us at Empire Shoppng Gallery for another round of Transformers toy sight-seeing and poster pix session with.........Bumblebee!......

......and Optimus Prime! 

Well, Juan Or was so excited and energetic about the whole Transformers toy sight-seeing trips that he was totally knocked out upon reaching home. Guess he needs to recuperate from the fever! ^_^

2. Made a second time visit to the Chevrolet showroom in Puchong to see Camaro-Bumblebee again!

This time Juan Or remembered to bring along his toy Camaro-Bumblebee to compare with the real Camaro and also to show off his toy to the car executives on duty! ^_^

Other 'accompanying symptoms' include making funny faces....

....and checking at every nook and cranny of the car to look for any sign of robotic life.

And then a pose with Sentinel Prime!

3. Went to TGV cinema at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Centre and spotted this 3D Transformers deco.

Here's the same deco but taken from another angle.

Then Juan Or also spotted this Transformers popcorn and drink combo package at the F&B section of the cinema.

Well....he insisted that Mommy should capture a photo of him with the combo package as well. *Slap forehead!* What an odd photo composition here.....

4. Juan Or also asked Mommy's permission to have Bumblebee and Sentinel Prime accompany him in bed for his night time sleep.

5. Even insisted that Mommy should capture a photo of him as the peacemaker of the Optimus Prime vs. Megatron fight! ^_^

Of Camaro-Bumblebee and Transformers Fever

It all started when one night, Juan Or kept on telling his Papa "Bumblebee! Ai (Want) Bumblebee!" At that time, Mommy was ignorant about the characters in Transformers and later found out that Bumblebee is the yellow and black colour robot in Transformers. However, both Papa and Mommy were puzzled where this boy learnt to ask for Bumblee from because both Papa and Mommy never talked about Bumblebee before. We gathered he must have learnt it from the babysitter's son!

Soon after that, Mommy found out that there was a Chevrolet-cum-Transformers exhibition at One Utama during the second half of the recently ended school holiday. However, Mommy had to work seven days in a row that week so could not bring Juan Or to see this. Later after searching through resources in the Internet, Mommy found out that all hope is not lost yet! There is a new Chevrolet showroom in Puchong with its opening ceremony on Wednesday (15th June 2011) and the Bumblebee car called Camaro is displayed there!

So that Wednesday evening, after work, Mommy took Juan Or to the Chevrolet Puchong showroom to see the Bumblebee car live! The showroom is located somewhere between Tesco Puchong and IOI Mall. As expected, Juan Or was very excited to see the real thing right in front of his eyes!

More poses.....

Mommy even teased Juan Or and said,"Be careful that the yellow car suddenly springs up into a robot!!" ^_^ At one point, Juan Or even believed what Mommy said so much so he dared not go near the Camaro. Luckily, his fear didn't take long to overcome and soon he was happily posing with the car again.

More views of the Camaro from various angles.....

Chevrolet is also proud that its Camaro is associated with Transformers as what the evidences suggest here......

Hehehehe.....the car is nice to see, but the price is not so nice to see. In Malaysia, it costs about RM520K after adding all miscellaneous fees and road tax! ^_^ However, Papa went on a little further to do a check in the Internet. He found that a Camaro only costs RM100K if purchased in the US. Just see how much damage the Malaysian import duty has done!

Anyway, there are Transformers posters in the showroom to pose with!

Bumblebee! 

Sentinel Prime! (The newest character added in the coming 'Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon'. Sentinel transforms into a fire engine.)

 By the way, when Juan Or and Mommy were at the showroom, the car sales executives had been very kind to us, i.e., they never come to bother Mommy with buying a Chevrolet nor asking Mommy to see this, see that or to test-drive this and that. Mommy guessed they knew very well why we were there - to make a young child happy! ^_^

Anyway, back home, Juan Or has his Bumblebees: the small one.....

....and the one he fondly calls as "Bumblebee Big-big".

"Hail the Transformers Fever!!"
