Citizenship 1

Friday, February 17th, 2006

My folks will be returning to Singapore in a matter of months and they are taking me with them! They are also trying to prepare me for the change.
First they say I am too comfortable in my skin. I can run around nekkid before and/or after my bath in the dead of winter! They say [...]

Lost…

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

… in translation! Am I supposed to be a translator or multilingual?
A while ago, I described how confusing it was to learn the names of things in two (or more) languages. Now it is fun!
Now you can ask me to name various things in English or in Mandarin (and maybe Malay) and I will do [...]

Cupid

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

Apparently yesterday had something to do with VD. And some winged assassin called Cupid!
I should have realized that it was a special day. Marsh was chock-a-block with balloons and bouquets. TV ads featuring diamonds were taking away air time from my favorite car and truck ads!
I also had a feeling my folks were hoping someone [...]

OREOs

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

There are cookies and then there are chocolate cookies. There are chocolate cookies and then there are OREO cookies!
Papa recently bought some double chocolate fudge OREO cookies. All it took was one bite and now I am hooked!
I notice my folks eat them differently. Mama likes to twist the halves off and lick the middle. [...]

Stamps

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Stamps… they’re those things that mama and papa paste on letters before I leave them downstairs for postie to collect.
I’ve also seen lots of colorful stamps at the Post Office in display cases. I identify things on the stamps by calling them out by name. But I never thought that I might appear on [...]

Pee-what?

Monday, February 13th, 2006

One day I found mama squirming on the floor. At first I was concerned. But when it became apparent that she was not going to die any time soon, I decided to join her.
Mama had the TV and DVD player on and she was trying to follow the woman on the screen. She said she [...]

Cold again

Saturday, February 11th, 2006

After an unseasonably warm January, proper winter weather has returned in February.
While we have not had a lot of snow, I go out and enjoy it whenever I can (2.41MB)!

Open/close

Friday, February 10th, 2006

A few days ago, I described how I liked opening doors. Here is some video evidence (2.06MB).
Can anyone say “Open sesame, close sesame?”

Ears

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

Some people say that I have cute or “very adult” ears.
I can’t really tell. I can kind of see them in a mirror. And there are lots of photos of me (and my ears) in my online photo gallery.
I admit I still like to see photos and videos of myself, but I don’t [...]

Doh!

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

Doh! That’s the funny sound that Homer Simpson makes.
I like watching the opening sequence and closing credits of The Simpsons. I will imitate Homer going “Doh!” and do parts of the theme song. My folks enjoy the animated series and they seem to get a kick out of my antics.
Dough! Play Dough that is. That’s [...]
