Games: Solving the Rubik's Puzzle

The kiddos' uncle, Ah Ku, is a whiz at the Rubik's Cube. (Not bad lah ... go university, at least know how to play Rubik's Cube).

So when Boy got a Rubik's Cube gift one day, he asked his Ah Ku to teach him.

It seemed a pretty tall order ... but both guys rose to the challenge.

It took a lot of time, practice and persistence (and patience!!). Ah Ku was very systematic, and Boy practiced hard to master each step before bugging his uncle to teach the next step.

Very patient tutelage with a persistent student

But amazingly, Boy did learn to solve the Rubik's Cube. (Something Mummy will never be able to do in her lifetime.)

Here's a video of him in action with a dexterity that belies his 8 years of age!
