My little swimming champion

I must say, without a doubt, that my kid is quite independent..
Previously when we take him swimming, he insists on using his floaties, otherwise "I will DROWN without my floaties, Mummy!!"
Seems like all sudden-like, yesterday (14Jan'08) when I took him to the pool, he was so very confident.."I don't need my floaties anymore, Mummy, I know how to swim already". Doubting him, I still got him to take along his swim board.
True enough, he was SWIMMING! Here's a boy without proper swimming lessons, swimming of his own accord..just from watching TV advertisements! I remember him asking me about one of the advertisements, that the children learn to swim without floaties and they did not drown..I guess that must have given him the confidence to just jump into the pool...worried Mummy always nearby and he keeps pushing my hands away! So very confident..now has me worried as I don't swim that well and he's eager to go to the deep end of the pool!
Guess Mummy will be the one needing floaties to keep up with him next! LOL!

Cooking

I have not been too much of a cook but since getting married and having a place that I can temporarily call home (till we get a real permanent one) which I can experiment in my own kitchen, I've been doing abit of experimenting here and there.
Recently tried my hand at making sushi and I'm pleased to say that it turned out quite well being a first timer!!
Didn't take any pictures of the sushi made as we were all too hungry!!
It's a simple dish of just cucumbers, tuna and sweet egg-Jap style!
Just need to google and read some of the how-to-dos and then just do it! :)
Few other dishes which I've tried and worked out well too - baking cakes, cupcakes, muffins, noodles dishes to name a few.
Oh well..it's been fun but will try more difficult dishes once I've got all the necessary ingredients in hand abit at a time when I've started work and earning some money :)
