22This was how it started:

“Congratulations!
You have been selected to join the Parent & Kid Cookies Baking Workshop.
The details of the workshop are as follows:
Address: Genius R Us – 75B Tanjong Pagar Road (5 mins walk from Tanjong
Pagar MRT Station)
Date: Friday, 12 June 2009
Time: 7:30 PM – 9:30PM
Cost: $56 for Non-Rec Club member (Please bring cash on the day itself)”

12But because my sis was a Rec Club member, hence it was free. So instead of bringing her own kids (which she doesn’t have yet), she brought her favourite nephew with her – Keatkeat.

This was the summary my sis gave after they reached home at almost 11pm.

  • Keatkeat wasn’t afraid or shy at all. He was very comfortable with the surrounding. He dared to walk around on his own and talk to the teacher and the other participants.
  • animal_mechanicals_150Our team was the noisiest and the slowest. Keatkeat, being in Blue yesterday, was going “Behold, the Mighty Sasquatch!” (from the Animals Mechanicals) most of the time.
  • Our dough was the worst too. Everyone’s was nicely done and fingers were pretty clean. But our fingers were covered with flour and butter.
  • 51
  • But when it was time to squeeze out the icing, you can tell that his motor skills really need improvements.
  • 61
  • Keatkeat was really good at decorating. Eg. the Gingerbreadman. He was the one who put a ‘smiling face’ and the other participants saw it and COPIED his idea.
  • 9
  • Keatkeat folded the box all by himself.
  • 810
  • Keatkeat was so energetic throughout the night. He refused to sit during baking time. He even suggested to fold up his chair. He stood the whole time. And after the long walk to the MRT station, he still refused to sit during the train ride. After we alighted at our stop, as we walked home, he complained that his legs were REALLY TIRED and that he would do nothing else but to sit down the moment he reach home to rest his legs. *laugh*

  • 13

Now this was what Keatkeat had to say when I asked him if he had enjoyed the baking class:

“Yes….. But my fingers very gross! Got flour, got sugar, got butter… Eeeewwww…”

I couldn’t help but laughed out loud at his expression and the way he shook his fingers as if they were still in that sticky-horrible state. *laugh*

Seriously, the cookies were really yummy!

I’m glad he went for this. Again, opportunity will not be available without his favourite Ah Yee (Auntie). *wink*
