I've been receiving these kinda comments quite regularly from strangers,ever since the boy was a mere babe. Lately, I seemed to be getting more of such remarks. Most said he looks kinda japanese which I reckon,is a compliment since the jap kids i've seen are really adorable. I guess it has to with his brown longish-hair and to a certain extent, his tan.. which is the result of his regular swimming lessons.
Decided to have his hair shorn off. Had no choice but to leave it long because of his filming which ended on Monday. Thought to myself..maybe I'll receive less of such comments then..
After the hairstylist was done with the haircut, she turned to me and asked "Eh, your boy looks Japanese! Is your husband one?"
Kua kua..

Aidan's film shoot finally ended much to our relief. He had so little scenes but those shoot required him to be on the set from 7am to abt 4pm on Sat and the entire morning on Monday. Thankfully, the boy had tons of energy and managed to complete most of the scenes without much hiccups. He also grew quite attached to some of the cast and crew and enjoyed hanging out with them when it wasn't his turn to be in the scene. The most tedious part was the waiting..Deep down inside, I was cussing the director for not shooting all the kid scenes first but I knew I was being irrational. The various scenes required different locations so it wasn't possible. Was really glad when the last scene was shot!
There was one scene which cracked me up. His screen mom had just grabbed him from the playground and was admonishing him in mandarin for only thinking of playing."你要听你妈妈的话..okay?" she said. Aidan stared at her and went "You are not my mommy!" He turned towards where I was standing and pointed at me "there! that is my mommy!", he exclaimed.. Alamak! Marc the director had to instruct him not say anything but "okay", which he managed to for the next few takes.
Some pics taken at his film shoot..

Some of you guessed that I was the Angelia Lee that was quoted in the recent Sunday Times and smsed me abt it. The article was written by an intern who'd gotten my contact from Belle,her colleague, who used to intern with TNP. She badly needed someone who was willing to be quoted for the article and so I agreed (colleague mah). I did tell her that I thought I wasn't suitable because I didn't think I'm considered that extravagent or extreme (I know of parents who are spurge more on their kids and put their kids in many more enrichment classes). Also, I told the writer that I didn't wanna come across as boastful. The writeup was done quite a while back and the intern is no longer with SUT.
Well,it was a short quote BUT she got our surnames wrong! My son became Aidan Tay and I took on my husband's surname..His friends were ribbing him about it. Thankfully, he wasn't insulted although he did mutter under his breathe "Sue them!" Yeah sure..

oi..1.30am and u r still awake? and u wake up abt 4/5am everyday? *kowtow*
heh..dunno whether he'll still be lengzai when he grows up.
really like ri ben ren.
now i am confused...Aidan's surname is Tay or Lee?? hehe...ming gets this alot too esp. when he goes to company functions with me, or to hotels when i was the one who booked the rooms in my name...being called "mr. chan" kakaka...
Actually, hub is kinda used to it when pple think he's Mr Tay instead of Mr Lee esp amongst my friends..but still kinda paiseh lah!
And the screen mum must've been really tickled!
heh..everyone laughed when he said that! the screen mom was like blur!
p.s. letting kids hang by their arms in the air, the way aidan was in the 2nd pic of the film shoot, is not a good idea. easier to get brachial plexus injuries esp in very young children.
we've told him many times not to do it but the naughty boy still persists *headache*. that's why nowadays, only one of us holds his hand!
The new hairdo is making Aidan look even more jap! So kawaii!!!!
see you on the 17th eh!! all kiddos will be there right?!
everytime you post pictures with aidan.. i will always be leaving comments like "SO CUTE!" haha!
sorry for repeating.. but aidan really looks very cute. haha! the hairdresser gave him japanese sideburns!
but now when i look back at his earlier pics..i must say you're right :P
he has a golf tan now because his swim suit stops above his knees and above his elbows :)
