Overdosing on OD

Even at two years old, Fighter has very definite preferences.

He likes is arguably obsessed with the minions from Despicable Me.

Even as a baby he was into minions…. hahahaha. (no la bluff one, here I made him wear #twinning outfits with mommy of course)

But he really really likes them!

His first Halloween costume hehehe.

Normal days also want to wear his Minion glasses.  I got it for him when we visited Universal Studios in LA!

When Penny wears HER Minion onesie, he gets agitated and wants her to take it off so he can wear WTF.

He asked for a Minion backpack for the last birthday… and named it Nana (for banana)

And the one time we caught Despicable Me on Astro, he stayed still and watched it continuously until the end. D:  I was super surprised cos at that age he never stayed still watching anything for more than five minutes.

So what to do when your son is such a huge Minion fan?

Make full use of On Demand by Astro of course. Hahaha.

If you’re like us and need to entertain a toddler during long car rides, I can now download Despicable Me on my iPad with OD and let Fighter watch. OMG now that I think about it I’m totally doing that on our next trip to Penang.

And yes, Fighter will be glad to know Despicable Me is one of their offerings hahaha.

Think I was nearly as excited as Fighter would be when I saw the Minions at OD by Astro’s launch party.  Cos it’s the Minions la who wouldn’t be excited!!

Wish we had brought him hahahaaha.

Astro brought together famous characters from the TV shows and movies available On Demand.  Can you guess which show or movie from the following photos?
