Lego Time
Son has been saving up his pocket money and had planned to buy some more Lego during the Box of Bricks promotion at Mid Valley Megamall, where they had this "LEGO City Swamp Police: Catch the Crooks" exhibition/promotion on.
He didn't get anything there at Mid Valley but he had fun taking photos. ^^
On Friday last week, we visited Bangsar Village and there, a similar Lego exhibits was held too.
He bought the Demolition Starter Set there and completed "a mission" where he was given a Lego Police Car to assemble and later was given a limited edition poster and certificate of completion. ^^
Then, we head to the Lego store located at Bangsar Village II and Son bought two sets of Ninjago and received more freebies!
All in all I guess it was well worth the pocket money he had saved up to buy his Lego.
Nothing too expensive.
He is building his collection slowly, with his own money.
His Mommy and Daddy always say, they'll provide for basic necessities such as food, clothes, education but toys; that one he has to earn them to enjoy them. Just like the new smartphone he got a few months ago.

oh I thot that Lego "penjara" is still there in MV.. rupa-rupa dah berpindah ke BV..
ReplyDeleteNo jail lah at BV. Only a small exhibitions sahaja. ;)
DeleteI so agree with Mak Glam on bringing up her boy.. yes, parents provide the basic necessity and the kids should be taught to "earn" things like toys and gadgets rather than to take for granted they will be given unconditionally by the parents.. which sadly, I think many kids out there think this way..
ReplyDeleteI hope we're doing it right.
DeleteSO hard also to know what is right to bring up kids nowadays.
Good approach. Kids need to learn to work for something rather than take things for granted. So many kids are lacking this nowadays.
ReplyDeleteOops, I just realized my comment is same as SK Thambee's XD
DeleteGreat minds think alike, eh? :)
DeleteGood for you, Lina! You and hubby are teaching your son financial responsibility, something very lacking in many young people of today. I know of some young working adults who still go to mummy and daddy to sponsor their expenses.
ReplyDeleteYour boy is a Lego fan and he must be very happy with his Lego sets.
Have to learn about financial independence early. ;)
DeleteGood that he's saving up his money to buy what he want...
ReplyDeleteHe has no choice. Hahaha
DeleteWow. Great parenting there Lina. Your son earned his own smartphone. I am so impressed. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteHe has to earn everything that is not necessities. Or save his pocket money.
DeleteGood habits, let the kids save his own money and buy whatever he wants.
ReplyDeleteNot really whatever he wants though. ;-)
DeleteHe still has to get our permission for whatever he intended to purchase.
Just because he has money,doesn't mean he can spend it all. :P
Soon he will have a great collection of lego. My boy has a collection of lego which I still keep for him.
ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteI thought you went to Legoland too..hhahaahah.
ReplyDeleteI used to buy a lot of Lego sets for my kid and I am glad he grew out of it as it's not cheap.. :(
I know a lot of friends who have yet outgrow their love for Lego! ;)
DeleteI also bumped into this and forgot where until I saw this post.
ReplyDeleteIt was such an expensive toy during my kiddo days and had to be
purchased overseas. I always tumpang to play at friend's house.
I believe it had helped to build my creativity.
