"Masak-masak"

Look at what June (my sis) gave Destinee as a birthday present when Des was 2 years old (the big Fisher Price box she was sitting on). This pic below was taken on her 3rd Birthday. I kept the box for 2 years and had great hesitation in opening it. The thought of having to assemble all the parts kept me from opening it the past two years. The box was lying in the cupboard and Destinee pestered me to open and let her play whenever she eyed on it.

1 week ago on Saturday, I decided to do some spring cleaning to her room and clear things from the cupboard. I took out the box and Destinee got excited. She pestered me again. She promised she would take care of it and put away nicely when she is finished with playing. Okay, okay, maid helped me to carry drag the bulky box out to the hall. I stared at the box and wondered if I should open it. Before I could say anything, Destinee found an opening and was oredi tearing the box. After having torn the opening, I peeked into it. Gosh! The thing was big, I had to pull the whole thing out from the box and was oredi thinking of how to assemble 'this thing' (I'm not the skillful type when it comes to assembling things).

Managed to get the thing out. It was a ONE WHOLE PIECE BY ITSELF KITCHEN SET with a detachable sink and shelf - no other parts, no screws except two plastic bags which contained the plastic accessories (2 cups, 2 plates, 2 spoons, 2 forks, 2 knifes, 3 ladles, 1 pot with cover, 1 frying pan, 1 telephone, 2 small containers (pepper and salt). Wuah lau eh! DAT WAS THE 'CHUNNEST' (best?) toy I've ever seen so far.

It was just too easy to assemble (and to think of it lying in the cupboard and 'laying eggs' for 2 years). Just hold the piece up and let it stand on the ground. Pull the part from the front and back of the set (there are hinges at both sides). Wa .... la .... it opened up just like dat! Just have to adjust a bit here and there and put the accessories in its proper place and the kitchen set is ready!

There is a fridge and an oven (below). On top of them, there is a sink with a tap and 2 stoves. Insert 3 batteries into the battery compartment of the stove, turn the 2 knobs of the stove and the 'frying' and 'boiling' sounds will be heard! I was stunned for a moment! This kitchen set is really something (Fisher Price really lives up to its name). Not only Destinee loves to play with it, mommy and maid enjoy playing with it too (heeheehee).
