Views from a Child's eyes

2012-11-25T05:37:00.000+08:00

Yes! I did it!!

2012-01-10T14:34:00.000+08:00

Yes! I did it! I did it! I'm in the second class for Chinese. I've finally moved up and mummy is very happy for me.

The difference between the top 2 classes and the remaining 4 classes is that we cover additional portion of our Chinese textbook. And if we are still in the top 2 class again in P5, we'll have to take Higher Chinese as well. That is what mummy wants me to take, saying that it'll help me if I want to go to certain secondary schools, we'll have additional 2 points.

Whatever it is, I will still need to work hard. And work hard on my composition writing.

I'm officially Primary 4

2012-01-04T14:20:00.003+08:00

It's the first day of school after what seemed to be a short break. 6 weeks seem to be long but it isn't. Mummy had to make me do some work besides bringing me out.

She covered half year's work in a few weeks coz she's worried that I'd have so much home works everyday that I have no time to do her assessment books.

Today, I went to school excited. I'm curious to know which is my class and who are my classmates are. I am in Amethyst again and I have Ms Raman as my form teacher for the third year running. But amongst the group of friends i hang around with, they have company and I am all alone in this class. We haven't got the slightest idea which is our Chinese class but we (mummy and I) hope that I'll jump up the class from the 3rd class to the 2nd class.

I'm 9!

2011-11-23T22:42:00.003+08:00

Had a party at home because mummy couldn't find a venue to host the party. So the house was really cramped! But I had a good 9th birthday with my friends.

Mummy planned this theme for me without asking me what I wanted. And I love it!! It's so different from my other parties.

And this year's preparation was last minute too.

My invitation card that was given to my friends a few days before school term ends

The things that mummy prepared

The goodie packs

The passes for me and my friends

Our house!

Exam Room - we had to sit for an examination!!

Teachers marking our exam scripts

Then an Aunty came to our house. Before we know it, we had to put on lab coats and safety googles. Now I know why mummy prepared the passes.

In total, we did 3 experiments

Volcano - #1

Water thingy - #2

Slime - #3

I enjoyed getting my hands dirty.

We played for a while before mummy asked us to cut birthday cake - my favourite cake.

I had a great time today mummy. Thank you!

Lack of updates

2011-09-10T22:51:00.001+08:00

I believe you can see here in my blog as well as my sister's blog, mummy's really behind time in updating ours. She has so much to document down but just can't find the time.

My school work this year is really heavy. I have homeworks everyday without fail. Schooldays are very tensed. I can't wait for the year to end, but then again I'[ll be in Primary 4 next year I will only get more busy. And we have SYF next year too! Oh no! I hope Teacher Peggy don't slot in any music exams for me, I don't think I'm able to cope.

14th March
Mummy gave us a break today. We get to bake cookies today. Yay!

Travelling on a jet plane

2010-12-28T10:23:00.002+08:00

Mummy and daddy say I am very fortunate having travelled so much. As what mummy says, I started travelling at 7 months old, a Frequent Flyer. And I've been to at least one city in almost every continent. Almost! Not entirely!

South Pacific
Australia - Sydney (that was my first trip when daddy had to work)
New Zealand - Christchurch, Dunedin, Te Anau, Queenstown, Punaikaki, Rotorua, Wellington (I remember this trip very well. It was really fun as daddy drove with mummy planning our itinery. Tampines ma-ma went with us too! I love the adventures)

Asia
Indonesia - Bali (that time mei-mei was in mummy's tummy)
Thailand - Bangkok, Phuket
Hong Kong
China - Shanghai, Hangzhou,
Malaysia - KL (can you believe it! I get to travel to KL at such a young age but mummy only went there in 2006 when I was in her tummy. And don't forget my mummy used to work in SIA)

Europe
Switzerland -Lucerne, Interlaken, Zurich, Bern, Basel
Germany - Munich,
England - London
Austria - Vienna, Salzburg

USA
East Coast - New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Washington DC
Canada - Niagara (crossing the border at Niagara Falls. But hey! we really need to produce our passport ok!!)

This year, we flew off to China in June and Korea in December.
Both countries have their uniqueness, although I don't really like China and prefer Europe and America like mummy but mummy says we need to know our Chinese history. Yah yah! I tell you half the time mummy don't understand what's going on too!! I made friends on both trips.
I did enjoy Korea coz' it's cold. And mummy hates it coz' half the time she'll be nagging at us to put on our coat, our gloves etc.. and I don't like it. And if I rebelled, she'll insist it'll be the last winter trip for me. Ahem... as if it would be coz' I know mummy loves to spend a white christmas.

My Birthday!!

2010-11-24T22:25:00.007+08:00

Mummy gave me a birthday party, as she always does. Mummy always threatens me with "no party next year/ this year!" and I didn't have to do anything she'll grant me a party. Wow! There's certainly magic somewhere!! I had a fantastic time this year. Not that I never did the previous years but it was really something different for me. This is also the second time I had my party held outside of our house.

I also get to select my invite list. And mummy did say I had to keep it small to 12-13. I did! I couldn't wait for my party to start, I had no idea where it was to be held, I had no idea what was going on. All I knew was my grumpy mummy trying to prepare my birthday stuffs while busy with me and mei-mei daily. And mind you, she only had 6 days to do everything this time round. I'm simply amazed how much mummy can accomplish in such a short time.

Click here to read her preparations for my party.

I was admiring the nice decoration the uncles and aunties did. It was so beautiful! I wish mummy can do this at home, I heard mummy saying that too. But we do not have enough space. Sigh... how I wish we live in a big big castle. Then it was time for them to make me look like a Princess.

Group photo

Since it was a small party, mummy said that it'll be a waste to order a cake so she baked them

The goodie packs mummy prepared plus balloons given by the party place

At the end of the party, Aunty Kelly read out the rules of being a Tiara Club Princess. And officially we graduated. Mummy gave us a card each in replacement of the temporary card that was given earlier with the invitation cards

I'm so happy today!

Busy! Busy!

2010-07-29T20:46:00.002+08:00

It has been a really busy year for me and mummy. I have homeworks almost everyday and that's because mummy say I have two very good teachers - my Maths teacher and my English teacher who's also my Form Teacher. I don't think that means they're good, they are cruel!!!

I have no time to play. Not even on Saturdays and Sundays when mummy give me more work. And all because she said she's doing it for me. But mummy ..... I want some time to play!

Mummy told me that next year I will be even more busy.

I know mummy is also busy with me. She hasn't had any time to bake and I think that's what drive mummy crazy mad at me - it's not because of me as she always claim.

I can't wait to grow older and work so that I don't get to study. But mummy said if I don't study hard now, I can't get a good job next time.

So what do I want to be when I grow up? I want to be a doctor, I want to save people. But I'll have to save mummy first!

Making cards - 22nd June

2010-06-30T13:04:00.012+08:00

Last year, mummy had a playdate for my LCCC friends last year making Teacher's Day card. This year she decided to do the same again as there will be problem fighting over our small oven. It was definitely more comfortable when we were in our study room. Turned on aircon, a good way to hide in the room.

We're lucky that we had a long table top in our room for 7 children (including myself). Oh yes! Did I mention that we did a minor renovation in our 2 rooms? And living area? I looked forward to this day and any day that mummy plans a playdate for me.

Snacks and drinks prepared for my friends

Healthy snacks vs junkfood

Mummy ordered pizza for lunch, so that Aunty Zet didn't have to cook and use the time to help tidy up the kitchen. My friends streamed into our house slowly. We played first before lunch.

S playing with mei-mei's Pluto

Mei-mei joining in the fun. But she's too small and we don't include her in everything. I don't understand why mummy is so upset with me.
After lunch it's - CARD MAKING. Mummy prepared alot of things and each of us have to make 3 cards each for our teachers.
I prefer this spot here, it's so much brighter

I managed to do these two cards first. Mummy said for me, I'll have to do more cards for all my teachers from LCCC, JXC, LWSC, Berries etc... So we can do it slowly.

While we were finishing the last touches to our cards, mummy got Aunty Zet to bring out the snacks. This cute jelly is sponsored by Aunty Youli. Thank you, Aunty Youli!

So beautiful right? Mummy wondered if she can try to attempt this cartoon jelly one day.

Snacks! These were the snacks that the kind aunties brought along. They shouldn't coz' mummy did prepare alot of snacks for us.
Continue playing.

Part 2 of our activity. Making chocolates. Mummy said this group is too big, we can't do colouring - which will take alot of time and ... we need alot of brushes (which she don't have)

Thank you mummy!

Bakings 2010

2010-06-30T10:03:00.000+08:00

Mummy hasn't been baking for us this year. It seems like she's more busy with me (ahem.. my schoolwork) in the day time.

I really liked that horse cake I asked her to bake for me and said I wanted it for my monthly birthday celebration. But she didn't do it.

* image taken from http://www.flickr.com/photos/tastebudscakes/3757960334/*

I can't remember when exactly mummy stopped celebrating for mei-mei and me every month. Too much sweets and it certainly don't bring out the real thrill on our yearly birthday every-year!

Mummy too, hasn't been able to do much baking for us too.

However, mummy did find time to enrol me for classes. Which I DID enjoy coz' mummy won't be paranoid when I didn't do this or that carefully. Or make a mess in the house.

This year, mummy enrolled me for bread- making class on 14th June. It's really fun because I don't get to make bread with mummy, she says I can't knead the dough. I did prove to her that I can do it. Hopefully next time, she'll let me make bread.

Mei-mei is allowed in (thank goodness!) and so I didn't have to babysit her.

Chef June is so funny. She saw the way I knead my dough asked if I helped my mummy at home. I told her no.

I can't wait to show mummy the bread I made. I'm so proud.

Oh no! Why did it have to end so fast?

Eating my bread.

On 15th June, we're back at the same place. This time with my friend, S. Mummy signed us up for pasta-making. Not as interesting, coz' I don't like this kind of pasta.

Thank you mummy!

Lack of updates

2010-06-09T09:56:00.002+08:00

I think by now you would have noticed that my blog is really not updated as regularly as what mummy hope to do so.

As a record, it is 9th Feb 2011 now (though the date is wrong). Mummy's good in updating all her blog entries at one shot. Problem is mummy hasn't been able to find time to do so coz' she's more busy with me. So she updates her blog more regularly than ours. You might like to check out hers instead.

She'll only update the important occasions for the year 2010 at a much later date. And hopefully she'll find more time this year (you think so?) to blog for us.

Meanwhile, stay tuned.

Have a great day!

Girls Day

2010-03-03T20:45:00.004+08:00

The Hina Matsuri or Doll Festival or Girl's Festival is celebrated on March 3. On this day, families with girls wish their daughters a successful and happy life. Dolls are displayed in the house together with peach blossoms. The doll festival has its origin in a Chinese custom in which bad fortune is transferred to dolls and then removed by abandoning the doll on a river. On Hina Matsuri, sweet sake is drunken and chirashi sushi is eaten.

Although we are not Japanese, mummy says as long as it's something of good meaning she'll do it.

As March 3rd this years falls on Wednesday and I have my Lorna Whiston class and music lesson, mummy gave us our treats earlier. On Sunday, she gave mei-mei and me these weird-looking foodstuffs.

Since I have my yukata. Mummy made me wear it to match the occasion. So fun!
On Wednesday morning, mummy gave us a present. Wow! If Hinamatsuri means getting presents, I'd like Hinamatsuri to be everyday! She also prepared her loving bento for us.

She packed some goodie bags for my friends too!

Looking forward to next year's Hinamatsuri. Thank you mummy!

First Day of School and .......

2010-01-04T19:41:00.002+08:00

I am a big girl now. HA! I'll have so many mei-mei's in my school this year because I am in Primary 2.

I don't look forward to it at all but I have my friends in school. So ....

I have a new teacher too. I miss my Primary 1 teacher.

Christmas 2010

2009-12-25T23:26:00.000+08:00

We didn't have any Christmas party this year. Mummy said she's too tired to organise one, citing that she needs a break after I had a birthday celebration. Yah yah! "One month interval..." every year I hear the same thing.
Even Tampines mama didn't have any party. So boring!

13th - days before we received a letter from Santa. We baked our cookies, leaving the decorating to a much later date.

24th - The day before Christmas, mei mei and myself were excited. We talked about Santa Claus, we talked about what Santa is going to bring us.
When night falls, through the house we were jumping. Lizards (if there were any) were frightened by our boisterous laughter. Our stockings were hung by our bedside. (Alas! no chimney - stay in HDB flat. No fireplace - we must be crazy if we ever have one in our always sunny and superbly hot Singapore.) Our cookies were placed in a special box mummy bought for each of us.

Not forgetting that we had to write a note to Santa.

was the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

way to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!

s dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

e was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

he stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

e spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

We made some cookies for Santa Claus. Oh no! I forgot carrots and apples

On Christmas morning, I woke up to see a letter and a stocking filled with goodies from Santa.

Here, mei-mei and I are reading our letters from Santa

We opened our presents too!

Later on, Aunty Zet went to church. We were invited to B's house for a party in the evening. I made some new friends there. I like B's house, she is so lucky to have a playroom of her own. She has alot of toys!! There's a new toy - Zuzu Hamster toy, which I really like and hope mummy will buy one for me.

I put on some make up to make myself look pretty.

Holiday

2009-12-03T23:55:00.000+08:00

We went for a holiday with daddy's family to China. I had no idea where I went but I enjoyed the company thoroughly. I never knew my 3 kor-kors are so fun to be with until now.

During this trip too, I like to stay with 小姑姑. She has so many games in her iPhone too! She let me play with her phone daily; she helps take care of me during our meal time so mummy and daddy can take care of that "fussy little sister of mine"

You know what is the most memorable part of the trip? When we had to take a speedboat, mei-mei and me liked it each time the boat bounce back on the seawater. We were making alot of noise in glee. Mummy and daddy were afraid that mei-mei will fly off from the boat; 大姑姑 was so afraid.

Here are the snapshots of our trip.

Splashing Around.............

2009-11-21T23:28:00.009+08:00

Celebrated my birthday in school on 12th Nov, mei-mei came as well. Mummy brought the cupcakes she made and the goodie bags she packed.

On 21st November, celebrated my birthday at home. Invited a few friends over. We had such great fun. Mummy did nails for all of us.

Halloween

2009-10-31T23:48:00.000+08:00

It's Halloween!! Yay! I love it! It's fun coz' I get to receive many sweets.

We brought mei-mei for her rehearsal first. And then we left to meet dua-gu, dua-kim, mama and Ignatius. I know what I had to do, I'm going to show Iggy how to do it.

My sweets!
Thank you mummy, Thank you Aunties and Uncles for sponsoring sweets. I will be back next year!

Massive update!!

2009-10-30T00:14:00.009+08:00

September
Mummy has been too busy to help mei-mei and me to update our blogs. No more excuses mummy! I asked her to let me try but she knew that I'd be asking her to let me play y8 instead. My favourite game is Penguin Diner. I taught mummy the game and she was so addicted to it - for one night only.

September and October were the 2 months where I saw mummy packing little goodie bags the most number of times.

First was mei-mei's birthday celebration in school. She didn't have to pack any more goodie bag for the small family party. Thank goodness! Mummy was screaming at us not to touch anything and was quite angry with us when she was packing for mei-mei's friends. We were being curious mummy!! And .........we wanted to see what we're getting. Yippeee!!! I am pretty angry that I wasn't able to be there for mei-mei's celebration in school. I'm so envious of mei-mei. I can't eat the lion cake and jellies mummy made. Here, I inspected my goodie bag : I would have loved to have a bigger birthday party for mei-mei but ......I don't call the shots. Pray hard that I'll get a birthday party this year Photos of mei-mei's BD bash at home.

Some other photos taken during the month : 4th Sep : Mei-mei's friend's BD. I played with the things in her goodie bag School holidays : September 11th. Mummy brought us out for a movie. Yay! We received another big big surprise from mummy when she went into Haagen Dazs. ICE-CREAM!!! That's mei-mei and me sharing the ice-cream. Wait! Aunty Zet as well..........you think my mummy is that kind to us? Stopping by to do stainglass painting. I had a great day today.

26th September
Outing to somewhere really new to us.

Photos : We went into a new mall which has a long escalator. Wah... I can sing and dance on it and still hasn't reach the top.
October
It's mummy's birthday and daddy brought us to have seafood. Mummy love Chilli Crab and daddy is so thoughtful to treat us. (ahem... not really 'us' coz mei-mei and me were fussing around food)
But what we love most? Cake!

Mummy said she didn't want any big cake coz' she's on a diet. She asked us what we wanted and bought a piece for mei-mei and me.

My prize!

2009-08-15T23:13:00.003+08:00

I finally received my present from my 老师.

The long weekend

2009-08-10T23:20:00.015+08:00

I'm so happy because I didn't have to go to school on Monday, and get to spend time playing at home.

But first, on Saturday, mummy said we had to bake. Because she thought of the Show & Tell which I have to do on Wednesday - "A Special Activity With My Family"

She took a lot of photos. I had fun doing the cookies.

Here I am measuring the dough of each cookie.

My works!

This is so fun......

Donald Duck People - which mummy says the eyes looks like ne-ne. Hahaha! Mickey Mouse Teacup Mr Sun The cookie on the left is done by me. It's Anpanman. Mummy made the other (RHS)

Sunday - 9th August
I kept asking daddy to bring me to watch the fireworks. After some time, daddy agreed.

We went to Marina Square, first stopping in Sakae Sushi for lunch. We wanted to watch Up but the seats left were very close to the screen so we didn't watch. Walked around a little, we passed by a door which mummy explained it's for those with tickets for the Parade to enter. I thought we had tickets?? No?? that's what I meant daddy!! I want to watch the Parade inside! Then we tried to look for place to sit in the open area. It was too hot and crowded, we left and headed towards the foodcourt.
We had our dinner while waiting, I didn't eat much because I am really excited. I can't wait to see the fireworks but mummy says I have to wait coz' the fireworks only displays in the night.

Some photos :

I am so happy to see the Parade closer. Will we do it again next year? I don't know...

Monday
It's play play play. Mummy's too busy to give us lessons.Sob... sob....the school reopens tomorrow

National Day Celebration

2009-08-07T23:19:00.003+08:00

We wore home clothes today, in Red and/or white.

I have a Red shirt which says NEW ZEALAND (and mummy say I can't wear that for SINGAPORE's National Day celebration. Then another shirt, Elmo. I'll feel so embarrassed wearing that to school.
The next thing that mummy found was this dress. It was a white dress with red flowery patterns on it.

Okay mummy, I'll wear this.

Off to school............

Mummy first picked me up from school. For the first time (ever!) I get to be dismissed from school earlier than mei-mei. Yay! Mummy brought me to the library to borrow some books.
In the library, C saw me first. C is mummy's secondary school classmate's daughter. We played in the library together with another girl from another class. The 3 of us are in different classes.

I have many friends from other classes. I enjoy school so much.

小小羊儿要回家

2009-08-07T17:47:00.001+08:00

For the past few days I have been practising this song because I am one of the 10 children selected in my class to sing.

Needless to say I drive mummy up the wall but I have a better excuse this time for singing out loud and ahem.. a little out of tune.

I love eclairs!

2009-07-31T23:18:00.001+08:00

Mummy loves me alot. She always makes things that I love to eat. She's been wanting to make me eclairs but she never got the chance to do it until now -which is many many months late to her promise. But oh well, better to be late than never.

Shall I tell you the recipe for this? This is what mummy read out loud :

"125g milk, 125g water, Athena stop touching that!, 115g unsalted butter, Athena?!, ¼ teaspoon sugar, Athena how many times do I have to tell you to stop playing with the flour?, ¼ teaspoon salt, Athena STOP IT! That's it you're going OUT OF THE KITCHEN!"

And so I waited for my eclairs, with me bugging me if the eclairs are ready. I'm sure I saw mummy frown at me. Because I can't wait mummy! I always love what mummy make.

Here are some photos of me indulging in eclairs. Ehh............that was after I was KICKED out of the kitchen.

Mummy let me decorate my eclairs. I happily threw in so many quins and mummy had to stop me, too much sugar is not good for me.

Bye bye fishy

2009-07-29T23:13:00.002+08:00

One of our fish has gone to fish heaven. It probably died from its injuries as we did notice one bigger fish kept bullying the fish.

Bye bye fishy!

Racial Harmony Day

2009-07-24T22:53:00.004+08:00

We celebrated Racial Harmony Day late in school, it was suppose to be on Tuesday.

I told mummy I wanted to wear my Yukata. I dressed up looking like a Japanese girl coz' it came with the wooden sandals too!
I was really tired at the end of the day, good thing I wore home clothes inside my Yukata. I took out my Yukata but I was in home shorts. ????? It's a good thing Ms R didn't punish me for being so slack.

2009-07-21T11:00:00.002+08:00

Mummy bought this for mei-mei but I proved to her that I can do it. I managed to get 2 colours!

Mummy's pleased

made pizza

2009-07-16T00:44:00.002+08:00

Made a pizza today, just sprinkled the ham and sausage. Mummy did the cheese for me coz' I didn't want to touch cheese.

"Thank you for the food we eat yum yum"

Yippee!

2009-07-07T23:07:00.002+08:00

I didn't have to go school yesterday as it's Youth Day holiday in lieu. Mummy was lazy to bring mei-mei to school too!

So it was a day for me to do alot of work from mummy, I did them without any fuss coz' mummy promised she was going to bring us out after school the next day.

Today
It has to be today mummy said, that I went missing from the front gate. She had to look for me and it's a good thing my teacher was standing there so she could recognize me. My teacher came looking for me, and she found me and Bonita at the canteen (I was worried that she might get lost)
We rushed home, rushed through everything. Had to quickly eat my lunch, shower and we left the house to somewhere.

Mummy brought us to Bishan to watch Ice Age 3. I was so scared when the dinosaurs came chasing after the animals. Mummy said I was too timid. But mei-mei was even more timid than me!! She fell asleep and dare not watch the movie!!!
After the show, we had our dinner and went back home. I was waiting for daddy's phonecall but he didn't call. Maybe he fell asleep too?

I had such an enjoyable day!

I love korean dramas

2009-07-06T00:01:00.003+08:00

Mummy loved the Korean drama - BOF - so much that I also am in love with the show. Then I asked mummy to help me find the words to 3 of my favourite songs.

I can go anywhere if it's with you to the my paradise.

Forget the pain and the times of suffering you've had
it's the start now together with you
we're going to take off, running
loving you forever.

Almost paradise

In my life

When it gets hard, lucky in my life
you come towards me like a dream
when I get sad, lucky in my dream
you hold me tight with warm embrace.

I smile like this, always
even when the world makes it hard
I don't ever want to show my tears.
even though you don't know my heart yet
because I can still keep your smile, even from afar,
it's a relief.

When I want to cry, lucky in my love
you look so handsome in my imagination
when I'm frustrated, lucky in my world
you hold me tight like a dream.

I smile like this, always
even when the world makes it hard
I don't ever want to show my tears.

Even though you don't know my heart yet
because I can still keep your smile, even from afar,
it's a relief.

Everything is beautiful. I'm so happy.
I make a wish again in this lonely world.

I smile like this, always
even when the world makes it hard
I don't ever want to show my tears.
even though you don't know my heart yet
because I can still keep your smile, even from afar,
it's a relief.

Take one step towards me.

Stand by me look at me
even though I don't know love yet
stand by me look over me
even though I am still awkward at love.

The more I look at you
I become happier
I find myself singing.
the new me who suddenly wants
to buy a single rose is fascinating.

As my heart draws closer to you
the world becomes more beautiful
if you feel this excitement too
please just wait a little bit.

Together make it love
forever make it your smile?
full of your bright smile
together make it love
forever make it your smile
now hold my hand.

Stand by me look at me
even though I don't know love yet
stand by me look over me
because I think I am still awkward at love.

The more get to know you
my heart flutters
I am always smiling
should I cautiously kiss you
should I draw closer to your heart.

Could this heart of mine be love
I am still so shy
though I haven't taken a single step towards you, wait for me.

Together make it love
forever make it your smile
full of your bright smile
together make it love
forever make it your smile
now i will start to go towards you, bit by bit.

Stand by me, look at me
I want to be closer to you
stand by me, look over me
I want to look cooler to you.

I didn't know at first how to look towards someone
I still don't know my heart yet
but i still love you.

Together make it love
forever make it your smile
full of your bright smile
together make it love
forever make it your smile
now hold my hand.

Stand by me, Look at me
though I don't know love
stand by me, Look over me
I still feel clumsy at love.

School

2009-06-29T23:01:00.000+08:00

Back to school today. Boring! Boring! Boring!

Happy Happy

2009-06-27T22:34:00.000+08:00

Mummy baked me a Hello Kitty cake on Wednesday

See! I'm an expert in this now.

In summary

2009-06-27T14:34:00.001+08:00

This is a quick summary of what I did during the school holidays.

When school ended on 29th (Friday) at 12pm, I was very happy. FREEDOM!! Mummy didn't start bringing mei-mei and me out gai-gai so soon. Infact, we had to be at home packing our bags because we were going on a holiday the next morning.

Yay! I'm so happy ....... thing is I kept asking daddy and mummy why we had to drive our car and not take a taxi to the airport. Well, it turned out to be a holiday of a different kind - daddy drove in. I guess it must be somewhere very closeby so daddy kept asking me to look out and say we crossed the Causeway. I don't understand what he meant, we were on a bridge right??

The holiday is ... I told mummy I like the holiday. But not for mummy, she was so tired - no rest for her infact more work for her to do. Thus she didn't feel like it was a holiday.

Let me tell you what mei-mei and I did. We were so bored to tears in the car, though mummy did bring along some DVDs and my Stiles and colouring books & >> can you believe it?! Some papers for me to do. "Mummy, it's the school holidays!!!" that we fought and fought. We wanted to make more noise in the car so that daddy will not fall asleep behind the wheels. We fought so that we can keep our energy up, we fought so that we keep ourselves entertained. But then, the adults didn't think it was entertainment. We got scolded instead.

I tried to canoe. It's so fun that I asked daddy to bring me canoeing in Singapore. Mummy stared at me with her 'almost going to drop out eyes'

We came back in one piece despite the superbly good entertainment we provided for daddy & mummy in the car; in the hotel.

Then what I did after that was mainly to follow wherever mummy went. I was basically her shadow! Though mummy said she wanted to make sure I don't follow her, she makes it a point to bring me out eventually. That's where we spend some time in Macs and then mummy runs her errands with me.
Mummy brought me to the library too, the big library near my school. I like that library. You think mummy gave me a break? No........she expects me to write down new words in my Word Bank Book and to use the dictionary for words which I don't understand. I did alot of work during the school holidays too! Mummy say I cannot slack too much, but of course she rewards me with some time to play.
I did so well for some papers that mummy rewarded me with something from her shop. I took this.

Mummy planned 2 playdates for me. One for my classmates and another for LCCC friends

The holidays are coming to an end, I pray the next school holidays come sooner.

JXC Concert

2009-06-27T10:58:00.001+08:00

Friends

2009-06-19T23:06:00.006+08:00

I had some friends, my classmates, over for a playdate.

We did cupcakes (again) coz' mummy said it's easier to decorate the cupcakes rather than a cookies which she has to take alot of time to pre-bake the cut and molded cookies.

Aunty K came too! Sad that I couldn't invite my good friend S, mummy promised she'll be invited the next time coz' she can't manage a big group this time round.

Here are some photos :

Aunty YL sponsored us this nice jelly. Thank you Aunty!

In the evening after my friends have left, we munched on my cupcakes

My pet

2009-05-05T18:48:00.004+08:00

Daddy bought us 3 fishes. I named mine Fishy and another Alexander.

I asked for bunny, cat, dog, hamster, terrapin and mummy said no.

April - Springtime fun

2009-05-01T22:37:00.001+08:00

Haha! What spring time in Singapore?? We only have hot, hotter, hottest and super duper hottest weather in Singapore.

Mummy tried her best to let us enjoy ourselves, although I must say she does expect me to study very hard too.

12th April - Easter Egg Hunting

I won alot of craft and activities items.
Doing our first foam craft. I did the Easter Egg, mei-mei did a rabbit. We pasted it on our fridge afterthat.
17th April
I can 't wait to see what mama and dua-gu bought for me from Japan.

It's all my anpanman things. I'm so happy!

Second row are my gifts

18th April
I can't wait to see my photo albums. Mummy showed me the sample photos that I took in Shanghai.

19th April
We went to send daddy off at the airport.Mummy let us play in the airport as well.

21st April
I dropped my tooth!! This time round, I didn't really cry coz' I know Tooth Fairy would come with some money for me.
She came a day late!
25th April
Daddy's home and he brought us to Tampines 1 - the new shopping mall in Tampines.

In a Japanese restaurant

Outside a shop selling alot of Disney stuffs
In the night, we went over to mama's house for dinner. There's a new zhi-char in the coffeeshop and we tried the food. Though I must say I enjoy the playground more. I haven't played in the playground for 4 months already!!

We then celebrated my birthmonth (again). Mummy have decided to rotate alternate months for me and mei-mei. Suppose to be mei-mei's turn but mummy didn't have enough time to bake for her so she did for me this month. I am officially 6 years 5 months old. 7 more months to my 7th birthday. I wonder if mummy's going to have a party for me.

It's Japanese cheesecake, I still prefer Oreo Cheesecake.

30th April
Today, mummy asked me a question if I loved her, coz' I seem to make her angry all the time. Technically I can't answer her coz' she's the one typing this for me now. Many years down the road when I read this, I will answer her.

12 more days to my tests, mummy's more kan-cheong than me. Relax mummy......................relax.................. I think she's taking the tests for me.
I have more work to do. Shits! No more playing, no more TV, no more borrowing books from the library for the time being.

March

2009-03-24T22:58:00.000+08:00

13th March - Friday
I didn't have any school today coz' it's Sports Day for P3 onwards. Mummy promised to bring me out for gai-gai. I'm even more happy that mei-mei is still required to attend school. Haha! I have mummy all to myself.

After we put mei-mei in her school, mummy brought me to MacDonalds for breakfast. I haven't had Macs breakfast for a very long time. At Macs, my friend Bonita saw me. Mummy asked Bonita and her daddy to join us at our table. I had so much fun with Bonita.

Coincidently, Bonita and her daddy are also heading to the library. We reached the library first, then Bonita came along. We flipped through books and chatted in the library, we had so much fun.
Then it was time for us to fetch mei-mei from her school. I followed mummy to her school, mei-mei was happy to see us and came to hug me.
Mummy then brought us to PP for ... Sakae. Yay! I had two plates of Salmon skin gunkan sushi, 1 chawanmushi, 1 udon

After our lunch, we walked around PP stopping by at the toys section in Isetan.

Mummy needed to do a little grocery- shopping and so we headed back downstairs and we saw this >>

Our balloons
I enjoyed myself today, I can't wait for the June holidays.

14th - 21st March
We went for a short holiday with daddy to Shanghai. We also went to this place called Hangzhou which I've been to before. Infact, I've been to Shanghai also. If only I am big enough to take the taxi by myself, I'll bring mei-mei around - and get lost together.
Photos will be up (hopefully)

23rd March
School commences, though I miss my friends I also miss the fun time playing. Why is our school holiday so short? I want to complain to my teacher!!!

24th March
Yay! I get to celebrate my birthmonth. Mummy made a brownie for me, with an ugly-looking Ariel on it.

Thank you mummy!

Uncle Richard & Aunty Irene

2009-03-03T21:36:00.006+08:00

I was over the moon when mummy told me someone is coming to Singapore. She asked me to guess and I guessed it right. Better still, Aunty Irene is here too!

A few days before our meeting, mummy asked me to make them something. And this is what I did.

I thought it would be nice if Uncle Richard have a photo and drawing book. So I made him this.
I haven't seen Aunty Irene for a very long time and she didn't grow any taller - I did!

Here Uncle Richard, smell my smelly armpit

One last photo, mummy said we might meet Aunty in Shanghai again. Yay! I'm so happy.

Updates

2009-02-21T16:13:00.007+08:00

Wow! I certainly have alot of updates to be done here. The last time mummy wrote here was in Jan - when I first started school in mummy's school.

School
I love school. I made many new friends. I like my form teacher and I always can't wait for school to start the next day.

Tooth
I also had so many teeth dropping out. What a way to start my new year!!
Jurong ma-ma pulled out my first tooth last year, and then on 11th Jan - 2nd tooth being pulled out by Aunty Zet
This is what the Tooth Fairy gave me + $10+ $2 for bravery

*******************************************

(3rd tooth)
13th Jan - I was eating my vitamins when my tooth dropped. Sob........sob........it didn't feel painful at all because there's magical sparks in my mouth. Next time I must ask my Tooth Fairy for her name.

*************************************

(4th tooth)
On 17th Feb, I realise my tooth dropped. It's somewhere in school and I have no idea where it is. Oh no! Will Tooth Fairy come tonight?

CNY
It's my 6th year celebrating CNY, I'm such a pro now. I know I am suppose to collect angpows - the more the better. This year is a little different, usually Jurong ma-ma and ye-ye comes over to our house for reunion dinner - but not this year.

1st day in school

2009-01-02T21:17:00.000+08:00

I am a little excited that I'm going to my school this morning. I talked about it last night to mummy, so excited that I couldn't sleep despite mummy telling me so many times. Her last resort? Bring out the cane and I obediently walked to my room to sleep.

Of course I couldn't get up this morning. Mummy woke me up at 6.15am but I kept turning away from mummy. And then what do you expect? A lecture from mummy early in the mummy "that's why I asked you to sleep early last night"

We didn't have to bring anything except a pencil case.

Mummy stayed in the school with me the whole day until school dismissal at 12pm.

Can't wait for school on Monday, I'm already beginning to warm up to my friends.

Science Centre

2008-12-27T23:32:00.018+08:00

Daddy brought us to Science Centre today.
I was so frightened when I saw a huge dinosaur. Mummy told me it's not real, but it did look real and it was looking at me.

I explore the things in there while mummy did some explanations. I was really excited when I saw exhibits on constellations and the solar system coz' mummy explained to me about those before. However the only thing I didn't learn was that I weigh differently on each planets. Mei-mei and me had so much fun weighing ourselves.

Mummy said she'll have to bring us there again when I'm older. I told her I didn't have to wait that long, coz' I saw water play outside the Science Centre. It looks fun, I hope mummy will bring me there again soon.

Advent Calendar

2008-12-26T23:58:00.042+08:00

Mummy bought an advent calendar for me and mei-mei. I get to open the odd-dates whereas mei-mei opens the even-dates.

These are what I collected.

It's really fun, I'm looking forward to next Christmas.

Updates for the month of December?

2008-12-26T23:57:00.010+08:00

The year is finally coming to an end. It means too that in a few days time, I will be starting school in a new place; making new friends etc... December too, is a month of eating and eating as we celebrate both Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Here's a gizz of what has been going on around me.Oh! I must say too, this month mummy didn't drill me with too much work coz' she's busy with alot of things - preparing for parties as well as preparing some study materials for mei-mei. I think that's good news for me. Hee!

7th Dec - to Candy Land aka Orchard Road

Wow! Look at this huge bowl of udon!!

I still think the bowl is big enough for me to put my face; open my mouth and eat from there. And superbly big enough for mei-mei to swim inside. Mummy & daddy found this so funny.

Mei-mei and me posing for the camera. We make good models, don't we?

8th Dec - I made mummy really angry, I was fooling around instead of doing my work. Mummy was suppose to bring me and mei-mei out to the airport. In the end, she was so mad with me that she left the house without me, I kept crying. In the end, daddy brought me out to meet them. At the airport, I saw a big gingerbread house. Later I was told that Mickey Mouse is not around for photo-taking. What a disappointment! We went to the basement to play in the indoor playground and then left for home - in 2 cars! I must have made mummy real angry coz' she ignored me the rests of the day. 13th Dec - it's my graduation cum concert. Mummy said she was so proud of me. I didn't dig my nose; I didn't bite my nails......but I couldn't stand still on stage (kept swaying from left to right vv)

15th Dec - Went to my new school to collect my shoes, at the same time to get some more things from the bookshop which were unavailable the last time we were there one month ago. We took time to explore my new school too! Not really the whole place, just the main few areas which mummy feels I should know. We went to look for my class, couldn't find it. Hmm........maybe I don't have to go to school?
After which mummy brought us to Downtown East to play. There was an area where I can do crafts, I went to make Santa Claus paper bag puppet. I had so much fun today! 17th Dec - YJC Concert as well as result (F.S.S) is out. I did rather well except for hearing. Mei-mei came along with Aunty Zet - and she didn't get kicked out. Mei-mei is so funny, she offered Teacher Peggy her pacifier and even shake her pacifier to Jingle Bells tune. 20th Dec - In the morning, mummy taught me how to do stain-glass art (only thing it is paper) and she explained to me this is geometry. She has briefly taught me geometry before and it's really nice to see how shapes and colours can make this world so beautiful & colourful. Daddy brought us to AMK Hub in the afternoon for lunch, walked around a little before heading home. I had to take my nap faster so that I can go to Faith's church to see her perform. I enjoyed singing to the carols, the aunty sitting next to me said I have a very nice voice. After the performance, we left for home.

21st Dec - I tried something new today. It's called tangyuen. I like it coz' it has peanuts inside. Yums! Mummy said she's going to try to make it one day.

22nd Dec - Skipped school for orientation. Mummy said I missed the Christmas Party in school. I thought I can make it for the party after my orientation but mummy said I can't make it back in time. Sob..........sob...........no candies for me! It's confirmed, my class has no doors at all. I went into my class; met my teacher. Sat down and then mummy left me, I was about to cry. Later, daddy came to find me and then they both walked away. I thought they were going to throw me away for being so naughty.. I waited for a very long time before mummy came back. Phew! Then mummy asked me if I saw Katelyn, I gladly told her that she's in the next class. So mummy went over to say hello to Aunty Jude. Mummy told me too, that she bumped into her classmate but her girl is in Burgundy 1. We went to the canteen for snacks, daddy was busy... on the phone (mummy said). Met mummy's classmate; my new friend-Crystal and we made friends. Later, a girl Shannon (from my class)came over to play with me. I think I am beginning to like this school.

23rd Dec - Went to school to give the Thank You gifts to the teachers. No wonder mummy made me pose for photos with the teachers. I don't really understand why, is it Teacher's Day? Mummy made some into mousepads - she worked through the night to get the photos Photoshopped (Didn't sleep and then promptly fell asleep when we were at Downtown East on 15th Dec), sent out the works to the printer. Took 3 days to get everything done, gifts all wrapped up ready to be given out today. She felt that the quality isn't up to standard so sent the rests to the photo-shop to make calendars + she was already so tired with Photoshopping that she didn't do anything for those photos. 24th Dec - Skipped school as we had a party at home. Aunty Ros together with some other aunties came. Mummy invited Wei Teng and Jachelle over too! Wei Teng stayed overnight at my house; the four of us (Wei Teng, mei-mei, Aunty Zet and me) all slept on the floor. It was so fun! In the night, traditionally we get to leave cookies and milk for Santa. We all gave him my Mickey Mouse cookies(pre-packed) and a packet of milk for him just incase he needs to rush off to make other deliveries. Wei Teng is doing this for the first time.. I get to write note to Santa as well. Since this year we don't get to sleep in our beds, mummy had to remove the stockings from our bedside and put it in the other room.

The white coloured stocking is mine

25th Dec - Christmas Party @ ma-ma's place. I was Rudolf, mei-mei - Dasher and Wei Teng - Santa Claus. Added bonus! Wei Teng get to stay another night with us.

26th Dec - My last day in LCCC. It was not planned this way, it was suppose to be on Monday - 29th. But mummy felt she'll be rushing both places in the early mornings so she decided to let today be the last day. I don't feel a thing but mummy did tell me to hug my teachers before I left.
After I left school, mummy brought me to cut my hair.

ahem.... mummy trying to backdate photos.......

2008-12-02T00:16:00.000+08:00

but they are too messy now.

On 8th October, we had to go to school with white shoes for photo-taking. Here's me before the photo-taking; obliging a photo for mummy at the gate.
And here's me - so serious and not smiling much

On 27th November, I skipped school coz' mummy needs to buy my school uniform and I need to try them. I'm so excited to see my new school - only thing mummy told me that we're moving back to the actual premises soon. Hmm.... I like the school there.

28th November - didn't go to school. Wanted to follow to mei-mei's school. Mummy brought us out after that.
Roar.........a dinosaur!

I bought clothes for Chloe
29th November - After Jayden's party, we murked around the place doing ridiculous things

Playdate @ Athena's

2008-12-01T23:40:00.010+08:00

I skipped school today coz' I have a playdate with my new friends, Athena & Irvin.

We went to their home, which is opposite Downtown East.

We played together, then we ........

had our lunch. Thanks to kaka who cooked the lunch for us - but I didn't eat much becoz' I'm a fussy Princess

I like their room. They have very cute beds.
With that, we ended the playdate about 4 hours later. Mummy said we had to rest for YJC lesson in the night, if not she would have brought us to Downtown East. Sob.......sob.......

Jayden's BD party

2008-11-29T23:47:00.007+08:00

I simply love birthday parties!! Today I went to a little boy's birthday party at somewhere very far far away. I don't know who he is but as long as there's balloons; goodie bag; cake and jelly to eat - I'm happy.
And you know what made me happier? It's a Mickey Mouse party, just like mine! I like their birthday cakes... so big. I couldn't take my eyes off the castle cake. Mummy always say I'm a very lucky child, I don't think so. You see.... Jayden has two birthday cakes.

I always stand close to the cake and needless to say, I was standing there even before Aunty Alyse asks the children to stand around the table.
I was smart enough to take the cakes for everyone. And clever too when it comes to taking goodie bag.

I had such an enjoyable day!

Birthday @ school

2008-11-25T21:03:00.000+08:00

I love it when I woke up this morning, for today is my birthday. And what made me looked forward to the afternoon is my birthday celebration in school. I can't wait!!

Mummy surprised me with a cake which she refuse to tell me the design. I thought it would be a Barbie doll kind, like what Elizabeth and Victoria had for their birthdays but no, it was a cake with 12 Dancing Princess figurine and another ballerina. I like both!

Mei-mei and di-di also came into the school to celebrate with me.

Thank you mummy!

My birthday party

2008-11-23T23:33:00.002+08:00

Mummy gave me a birthday party at a place near the beach. At first I thought we were going to a chalet (and get bitten by mosquitoes) but thank goodness we didn't head there.

We went to a place which had an indoor playground - it's very small compared to the one in Downtown East. I was so happy running around playing, that mummy had to call me a couple of times when my friends came and wanted to give me my present.

We played some games, pulled pinata and then had some food. We get to sit down to eat, I let mei-mei sit next to me and Faith sat on my right side.
I had 2 slices of fantastic cake. Yums!

These are the photos. Enjoy!

Surprise, surprise!

2008-11-22T18:03:00.008+08:00

Jurong ma-ma, da gu gu and Jackie kor-kor came by in the afternoon to our house.

And I have a Minnie Mouse birthday cake made with love by mummy.

Mummy later told me this is not the cake design she wanted to make for me.... but coz' it's a last minute bake - she whallop the buttercream on the cake even without crumb-coating (huh?)

November

2008-11-22T17:48:00.005+08:00

It has been a busy month for mummy because Aunty Zet went back home for a month and mummy was doing everything by herself.

So, she has no time to post my blog entries. But I am happy and enjoyed the whole month just like any day. Mummy took alot of photos of me, which she is really tired to post. You may like to read mummy's November archived blog entries.

But guess what? When it's November... I am even more happy because it's my birthday.
Posting on my birthday party will be up next. Keep a lookout on this page!!

October News

2008-10-30T11:43:00.027+08:00

If you have noticed (for those fans of mummy) that mummy has been extremely late in back-logging both mine and mei-meis' blogs.

I'll just sum up what happened in the month of October.

1st October is Children's Day, we didn't have to attend school at all. My school celebrated Children's Day for us on 30th Sep. Our mummies/daddies have been asked to contribute some food for our class. I didn't know what happened upstairs in mama's place but I heard from mummy that both mama and her were busy while we were having fun.

Food was laid on the table. Mama cooked fried bee-hoon and made jelly for the children

Then mummy prepared some cupcakes for tea for my class. See how lucky we are!!

She knew I like gummies, so she prepared some with gummies. Teacher Mamta only allowed me to choose which cupcake I wanted and I chose this.

I'm so excited. Presents! I wonder if mummy is going to give me anythingFrom Miss Leaw

My first Halloween. More photos can be seen from mummy's blog

Now, it's my turn

2008-09-25T23:20:00.017+08:00

2 more months to my birthday.Yay!

Mummy said we had too many cakes this month, and so she did cupcakes for me. She didn't decorate all cupcakes though, just a few to finish up the buttercream and... the plain ones for me to bring to school. Too much sweet stuffs is not good for me, mummy said. Thank you mummy!! Notice I was sitting on mei-mei's carseat?? They brought it up to fix the buckle but I decided to sit on it

This is what I gave mei-mei

This is mine!

This is for mummy

Mummy just had to take photos of this. She says she's going to change recipe for the next batch of cupcakes we/she make

Mei-mei is "surely" 2 - 19th September

2008-09-24T23:57:00.001+08:00

Surely, very surely my mei-mei is 2 years old now. I am so proud of her.... but I don't like her sometimes too - when she fights with me over things. This is what mummy baked/made for her.Isn't it funny-looking?

Happy Birthday, mei-mei!!

Mei-mei's birthday party - 13th September

2008-09-24T01:04:00.016+08:00

My mei-mei is 2, it means she is one year older from the year before = older to play with me = lesser chance for her to be bullied by me.
I looked forward to mei-mei's birthday party, infact I had been talking about it for days and did the countdown.
And so on the morning, I obediently showered; sat down quietly to have my hair tied and dressed up for the party. Mummy invited 2 of mei-mei's friends; the rests are my friends. I had such a great time but I was the 'sole distributor' for the favors, cone hats etc... - very tiring. I have a few pictures in here. More can be found in the online album.

Helping mei-mei to open her presents. Note to all Aunties & Uncles : next time you can give my mei-mei wrapping papers & plastic bags as presents - she's more interested in those!

Updates

2008-09-22T23:30:00.005+08:00

It has been a hectic month for mummy, and my happiness (no homework; no additional lessons) was short-lived.

Nowadays, mummy don't bento for me too. Coz' they changed the Mondays' menu and I can eat that in school. She don't even bento tea-breaks for me too. sob...sob.... I hope she will resume that soon. I miss my Hello Kitty bread.

On 13th, (Saturday) we celebrated mei-mei's birthday. I was so excited and looked forward to it months before and got even more happier when it was beginning of the month.
I went shopping for mei-mei's present on the 10th before my YJC. And this is what I bought.

A small Precious Moments figurine and cutlery set. Cute hor? That left me with only $1 in my wallet. But it's okay, I have another tooth shaking so tooth fairy will give me some more $$.

Saturday morning, I co-operated with mummy. Showered on my own, dressed up and asked mama to tie my hair for me. I want to put on the tiara; I want to be a Princess too!
During the party, I had a few friends over and I enjoyed their company so much. But then... I had to help mummy too. I had to give out the cups / cone hat / favor bags / cakes etc.... I'm so busy. Wait for the entry on mei-mei's birthday in my blog.

Sorry!

2008-09-07T12:41:00.002+08:00

2008-07-08T23:21:00.000+08:00

Over the past two days mummy packed my lunch and tea-break to school.

On Monday, I ate through some nuggets, potatoes, eggs and raisins

But I was still hungry........so I ate bread and banana for my tea-break

On Tuesday, I ate through some rice with furikake, sausages, egg, biscuits ..

and I'm not that hungry. I only finished the kueh bulu and Yakult. Was too full plus they were serving my favourite kaya bread in school so I took that.

Mummy gave me a Pooh pancake this morning, and then she started preparing for my lunch and my tea-break to bring to school.

On the menu is my Pooh pasta with Soba Sauce (which mummy put separately in a container for Aunty Rose to warm up before serving). Pooh luncheon meat and Pooh kamaboko. I've got tomato ketchup too!! Did I tell you that I started eating ketchup recently and mummy's so happy.
And this is my tea-break. Of course it's a surprise - I get to see it only when I'm in school
