Haziq the Game Maker

Haziq likes to invent games out of the new things he just learned. He will make up games until he found new things that he can make a game out of it.

When he was one and a half year old, while on the way to te nursery along the Old Klang Road, I named him all the petrol pump station. If you have been on the Old Klang Road, you'd know just how many petrol pump stations there are. Sebaling batulah kata orang melayu. He can name all the stations and make a game out of it whenever we found a petrol station.

Then come the colour game, type of car game, guess-what-that-letter is game and read out that car's plate number.

The game became even more excessive when he start schooling. When he found the magic of adding numbers, he played that game and made us ask him various kind of number additions. It started of with singular number like 2+3, then he proceeded to bigger numbers and even up to millions. I remembered having write out sums like this

1,289,786
+3,764,800

Then he started on on multiplication. When we look bored answering him, he started quizzing my helper for simple timetable. He has already gotten the concept for the table 10. Heh heh I gave him the easiest to boost his confidence.

The last 2nd term exam, his Malay Language exam asked him a riddle - Buah apakah bijinya diluar?. Of course he didn't know that.

So I bought him books of Malay idioms, parables and riddle. He was terribly excited with idioms. There were long list of idioms in the book and he used it whenever he can when constructing his sentence. He asked me, "Ibu am I an anak emas?" gleefully.

Some of my friends had to endure his rambling about malay idioms. Pity them.

Then he found the fun in malay riddles (teka-teki). He made me ask as YM friend on one of our chatting sessions. Then he riddled everyone and learn new riddles in the proces. He is never bothered of who his audience is or the fact that they are too lazy to play the riddle game.

Funny thing you know, when it comes to riddles with adult, this one will always pop out

Selak kain nampak bulu
Selak Bulu nampak biji
Selak biji nampak Batang
Apa dia?


AYOOOO

The other thing that he like is the 3D shape game. How many edges are in a cuboid? How many corners are there in a pramid? How many flat surfaces are in a cube?

I don't know for how long will he be inventing games and questions like this. But I must say, tired that I am having to answer endless question, I do enjoy the games.

I can pretend that I don't know the answer, and he will tell me. Gloating all the way about it.

LaJolie, saya menghadapi tahap kebengapan yang teramat maksimum. mY logical thinking is below average.

nyonya manis, dipercayai besok pihak anda akan membuat sedikit makan makan di putatjaya, adakah itu benar dan adakah nyonya manis akan turut serta bersama? kerana saya tidak akan menghadirkan diri (sebab saya pemalu walaupun telah mendapat jemputan).

nak prevet ek? hang emel la aku.
