Jayden Year 4 Part 1: The Transformation

Happy Diwali People! Happy Deepavali!


Jayden, Diwali 2017 – Our home, International City, Dubai

October’s come and gone, November’s in full swing, and I haven’t friggin finished going thru Jayden’s photos of the past year. At the rate I’m going, I gonna finish this at the end of November, so I’m putting a stop and posting the first half of his fourth year photos. (By the way, I’m so busy at work, I’ve resorted to doing this only during my early morning toilet time. Sigh, work sucks, life sucks.)


Grrrrrr…. Happy Halloween! – That’s how mom & the kids celebrate Halloween, dress up in scary costumes and make-up. No trick or treat. What? Our neighbourhood kids are all Muslims…


Jayden, as Maui, the Polynesian demi-god (from the cartoon Moana), minus the tattoos – Nov 2017


Jayden takes a swim (He’s terrified of water) – With Mommy at Legoland Water Park, Dubai


Jayden paints a car, Dubai Festival City, Dec 2017 – So that’s where he picked up his bad habit of drawing on walls, table, chair, floor, bed sheet, you name it, …


Jayden meets a girl – With little Thai girl at Ancient City, Samut Prakan, Thailand


Jayden visits his dad’s hometown, with his Koko and Jikor Hazel, Ipoh House, Malaysia


Jayden goes to school – First day of school, Newlands School, Jan 2018


Jayden has a picnic, with Koko – Somewhere along the new route to Hatta (you need an Omani visa now to go thru the old route), in the middle of nowhere (but probably in an area controlled by Ras-Al Khaimah), UAE


Now you see hair


Now you don’t – Jayden has a haircut

That’s all for now. Here’s an update on his vocabulary: - Shiwish (finish), Dial (die), Stroyal (destroy), Dikiful (difficult), Bitifuel (beautiful), Titember (September), Speckital (spectacles), Serficket (certificate) Pretening (pretending), Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle on the way (all the way), oh what fun is to ride, water on the sleigh (oh what fun it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh)
