Big TV!

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Ooh, papa got us a big LCD TV today! I like to stand in right in front of it so that I get a tan and a perm at the same time. Hee-hee!
I did not realize that Shrek was that big and that Gollum had such bad skin. Chicken Little isn’t that little and the [...]

Strapped!

Monday, September 18th, 2006

I consider getting strapped into my car seat a fact of life. My folks say that it could save my life.
Really? I may be little, but I can see other kids in other cars not strapped to their seats despite a law being in place. Some kids are not even seated! They bounce around in [...]

Additions

Monday, September 18th, 2006

I have two new additions to my room. Unfortunately, they are not new toys.
Mama and papa replaced the hand-me-down mattress in my room. They suspect that some of the bites that I have been getting are from “residents” in the mattress. Apparently they were charging me “rent” for occupying the penthouse suite!
The other thing they [...]

Inside

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Time must fly faster in the heat of Singapore. Is it Christmas already?
I thought it was already Christmas. Why? A lot of large boxes arrived last evening! But instead of being delivered by Santa and his sleigh, one Malay and one Chinese man brought them to us in a huge truck!
The boxes weren’t wrapped prettily [...]

Away

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

Grandma, where are you? That’s something I say out loud when I don’t know where grandma is. (In fact I ask for anyone I know by calling out to them like this.)
I haven’t seen grandma for two days now. My folks tell me that she has gone on a holiday to New York and Boston. [...]

Fav phrases

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

I have a couple of new favourite phrases. One thing I like to say when I get home is, “(Sigh), I’m so tired!” I then plonk down on my butt and take my footwear off.
The other related phrase I use occasionally is, “(Sigh), I’ve got so much work to do!” The first time I used [...]

Hospital

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Poor Ah Gong! Mama tells me that he is in hospital!
Ah Gong fainted in the morning yesterday. Why did that happen? It wasn’t me or my smelly pants because I wasn’t there! Mama came to the rescue and whizzed him to a hospital for some tests and observation.
I hope he feels better soon. I [...]

Boxes!

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Mama tells me that our Bloomington boxes arrive today at a Singapore port and that I will see them soon. Woo-hoo!
My books! My trucks! My cars! All my stuff! It’s going to be like Christmas and a birthday combined!

IKEA

Monday, September 11th, 2006

Oh, the humanity!
It doesn’t matter if we travel by bus or train or car. There are people everywhere and all the time in Singapore. I think that if I check my diaper, there’d be poople there too!
Today we visited the IKEA store. Lots of other people had the same IDEA. But even though it was [...]

Rides

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

I have heard that Singapore is a small country. But from the car rides I took today, it didn’t seem like it to me!
Papa wanted to show mama how to get from home to his office. That was the start of a 50-minute ride from an eastern part of the island to a western part. [...]
