"Tsk, tsk, tsk......this boy!"

This post dates back to 30th August 2010, i.e., the day we went to Lata Kinjang Waterfall and ate big-headed prawns in Tanjung Tualang. What Mommy is going to blog about now is the time when we had already returned home and it was 7.00pm.

Mommy was busy doing food preparation in the kitchen and getting ready to start the actual cooking. Papa was already sound asleep at the sofa (he must be very, very exhausted from driving!) and Juan Or was watching VegeTales DVD on the TV. Just before Mommy started the cooking, Mommy peeped to see what Juan Or was up to or doing because he seemed very quiet. From the kitchen, this was what Mommy saw:

At one glance, it seemed like Juan Or was standing by the coffee table (blocked by the sofa) watching his show, right? Then when Mommy went closer to peep, apparently this was what he was up to......

So this boy was actually sitting on the coffee table itself, and on Mommy's paperback dictionary like his seat pad, like an 'emperor' - too engrossed and comfortable with his position and activity so much so he didn't realize Mommy snapping his photos! Notice the mess on the floor too? This mess was created by Juan Or. He actually swept all the things down (except for the dictionary) from the table onto the floor, thus adding more mess to the mess he already created on the floor previously.

Here's another view of the boy 'emperor' - still too engrossed to even realize Mommy being near him already. ^_^

The Changes of Juan Or's Latest Craze

Mommy is reporting on how Juan Or's craze changes from October 2009 till now. What Mommy meant by 'craze' is that whenever Mommy comes back from work, Juan Or will point either at Mommy's laptop or television, and then make one kind of fretting sound to pester Mommy to switch on those 'things' for him to watch; or Juan Or will hold that 'thing' and then approach Mommy with one kind of fretting sound to ask Mommy to play those 'things' for him (both of which Mommy won't entertain until the time comes) Here are those 'things':

First were these local production books that came together with VCDs: 'Go Go English' and 'The Most Wanted Nursery Rhymes Volume 2' each for RM5 only (very cheap considering that both came with their accompanying VCDs!). The VCDs have the lyrics at the bottom of the screen together with colourful cartoon pictures, much like karaoke sing-along type.

Then, somewhere at the end of November 2009, Mommy went to the Popular/CD-Rama Sale in The Summit (Subang Jaya) and saw this 'Sing-Along Karaoke' DVD selling for RM19.90, but after 20% discount became RM15.90. So Mommy bought it and it became Juan Or's next 'obsession' though the previous VCDs still remains his favourite till today.

Next came this 'VeggieTales Very Silly Songs!' DVD which Papa bought somewhere at the end of December 2009. The first time Juan Or (and Papa and Mommy) watched it, it didn't appear as anything special. Sure, the computer animation was colourful, beautiful and cute, and the tunefulness and catchiness of the songs appeared so-so only. Juan Or also didn't appear to be addicted to this DVD. However, with subsequent times of playing this DVD, the tunes are wonderful (in Mommy's opinion) because they sound catchy and tuneful now. Even Juan Or is addicted to this VeggieTales DVD already! He would dance with almost every song from this DVD. And when Mommy comes back from work, Juan Or is sure to point at where Mommy put this DVD and makes one kind of fretting sound to ask Mommy to play it for him. Even when Mommy purposely laid out all the children VCDs and DVDs together (that includes Barney and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!) for him to choose one, he would still choose VeggieTales only!

See how Juan Or swayed his buttocks from side to side whenever he hears VeggieTales (but the music is too soft to be heard from Mommy's handphone camera's video):
