Opinions

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

When I am at home, I like wearing as little as possible. Before I go out, I often like to choose what I wear.
Sometimes I insist on the entire ensemble. Sometimes I compromise by choosing the top while mama or papa choose the bottom. Often they veto my choices! They tell me that something is [...]

Fountain?

Friday, September 29th, 2006

I like watching fountains, especially the ones outside malls, because kiddies can run and play in them. But I didn’t think that I’d be a fountain myself!
Much earlier today (at about 4am), I woke up and spewed out what little dessert was left in my tummy. It was not as fun as a real fountain.
My [...]

Picnic

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

I have a storybook about a chicken named Hasty Hattie who likes going on picnics.
I love picnics! My folks say that I may be too young to remember the picnics we’ve had in Bloomington. But I have them now, indoors and in the comfort of my own room!
I have a soft, jigsaw alphabet mat in [...]

Sand man

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

One thing I like about staying with grandpa and grandma is the playground downstairs.
There are different sized slides there and I like to sit on the littlest one and the biggest one. The big one is actually cut into the side of a small hill that I have to climb. Then it’s whee-eee all the [...]

Speed

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

“Don’t walk so fast, mama!” That is what I said to mama as we scampered across a parking lot the other day.
We were trying to keep up with papa who was carrying the groceries. Even I know that it is pointless to try to chase papa. He scuttles about like a cockroach!
Why do people [...]

Curses!

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

As if picking up one language is not difficult enough, I have to learn at least two! And if I want to get along well with folks from other races, I am told that it helps to know a third! Sigh!
But the languages people speak here are very interesting. Apparently the first few things that [...]

Car-bump!

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Our new car has a small boo-boo. And no amount of me kissing it is going to make it better.
We opted to eat at Holland Village on Friday. But like most places here, parking space was tight! I am small but even I find things like aisles and space between tables to be a squeeze. [...]

Manners?

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Do I have manners? In a manner of speaking, yes…
Since before I was able to speak, mama has insisted I say “please” and “thank you”. I had to learn to say these words using baby sign language.
When I started speaking, mama and papa would not give me things unless I asked properly. When I got [...]

News…

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that Ah Gong is out of intensive care after a heart operation. The bad news is that Ah Ma needs to visit the hospital because she is not feeling well.
Hey, maybe Ah Ma and Ah Gong can be in the same ward and [...]

Stretch!

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I liked imitating grandma as she did her aerobic exercises. I like to imitate grandpa too.
Grandpa does lots of stretching before he goes out for his exercise. He looks quite funny as he stretches so I join in. I especially like to put my arms up and [...]
