Oh no! My smooth, alabaster-like skin is no more!
Ever since moving to Singapore, I have been bitten by mosquitoes. Not only are these bites itchy, they leave red blotches on my otherwise perfect skin!
Now I look like I have pimples on my legs and arms, or worse, I have circular target-like symbols on my body. [...]
Today I stepped into a large bookstore hoping to find my favorite kinds of books. Boy, was I disappointed!
First, like most places, it was crowded. If I wasn’t walking into someone else’s crotch, I was carried at the level of someone else’s armpits. To make matters worse, the aisles were narrower than what I am [...]
Earlier today, mama told me that we were going to babysit mei-mei Skyler.
Although it (sitting on a baby) sounded a bit cruel to me, the thought of sitting on someone smaller and squishier than me was fascinating! Imagine my dismay when all we did was sit around looking after a baby!
It was a good [...]
Papa thinks that I have a “third” eye, and no, that’s not a birth defect. He thinks I read people well.
Some people admit that when I gaze at them, they fall into my black pools. As they “drown”, I figure out if they are worth saving and getting to know better.
For example, grandma introduced [...]
I have noticed that the folks around these parts like to “sing” as they talk. They talk about “This thing, lah!” and “That place, lah!” So when in Singapore, I do as Singaporeans do.
When the mood strikes me, I say things like “This is the mirror, lah!” or “The big rig is yellow, lah!”
My [...]
Ever since leaving the US and coming to Singapore, I have had to sleep in my own room.
I like having my own room because all my stuff is there. But I also like to “share” my wealth by distributing it to other rooms too!
Nonetheless I don’t really like the idea of sleeping on my own. [...]
Two weeks. That’s all it took for me to forget about papa.
When papa returned home today, I didn’t run up to him as usual. After all, I was busy playing the piano with grandma. I also took a long train ride to visit Baby Skyler and Aunty Monica. (Thanks for the tow truck, Aunty Monica!)
So [...]
“The orange car is ugly!” That’s what I say to mama whenever we walk across the carpark (that’s parking lot to my US readers).
Why this sudden critique of car colours you say? Well, mama and papa have started looking for a car and, as I consider myself an expert, I thought I should air my [...]
Just when I think one round of introductions to new people is over, another round begins!
It’s stressful being a celebrity! My fans often don’t know how to behave. They sometimes underestimate me or don’t know how to interact with me. The ones I dislike the most are the pushy ones who like to get [...]
The wheels of the bus go round and round! That’s about the only thing I noticed that is the same about Singapore and Bloomington buses.
There are more types of buses here (and I am not talking about big and small ones). They are all big ones and are single-deckers, double-deckers, or long “bendy” buses. Ooh, [...]
