Boo?

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Happy Halloween! Boo… did I frighten you? No? Pretend, lah!
Unfortunately, Halloween is not celebrated in a big way here in Singapore. I only have papa’s big T-shirts and sarongs to wear as costumes. But I have seen pumpkins and masks and buckets and bags of candy on sale at grocery stores.
Maybe the ghouls and monsters [...]

Home?

Monday, October 30th, 2006

I am still a bit confused as to where “home” is.
Don’t get me wrong! I know where I live now and I recognise the surroundings as we approach it by car. But sometimes I wonder about the cooler home that I left in Bloomington. I still ask about Wendy’s and Target.
But I also talk about [...]

Progress?

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

I am making progress in the potty department!
I resumed my potty training regime on Monday. Today, I poo-ed and pee-ed without incident and without raising a fuss. But in between, I wet the floor, pee-ed on mama, and raised several false alarms.
Earlier in the week I raised several districts of hell by complaining loudly [...]

Echo!

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

We stepped into our new flat today. It was not as flat as I thought it might be…
But boy was it empty! There were walls and floors and ceilings… and that was it. I liked talking in the place because there were lots of echoes. I also liked being able to run around while mama [...]

Going potty

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

I am really exercising extreme bladder and sphincter control and this is driving me absolutely potty!
Yes, my potty training has resumed in earnest and after a long, long hiatus. As far as I am concerned, we should be allowed to wear diapers well into adulthood. They are so convenient!
I first started pooping in the loo [...]

Busy me

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

My folks tell me that the remainder of the week is going to be quite eventful. Thank goodness we had two holidays so that I could take a break from my hectic schedule!
This Friday my folks are doing the paperwork to finalize the purchase of our new home. They then get the keys to the [...]

Fasting?

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Today, I learned that my Muslim friends have been fasting from before sunrise to sunset for a whole month! Not only that, they do this every year!
Don’t they get really hungry during the day? I have to eat practically all the time and can’t imagine not stuffing my mouth or filling my tummy for half [...]

Fishies!

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

Ooh, I love fish! And I am not just talking about those that are breaded and fried… mmm!
I like looking at koi swimming lazily in ponds. It’s just that the ponds here are mostly fake and indoors. I absolutely love looking at all the colourful tropical fish at pet shops. When mama or papa tell [...]

Because!

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

Papa thinks that I sometimes have a cute way of saying some words and phrases.
When I do something disgusting (like present a squishy booger) my folks say “Gross!” I laugh when I hear them say that and I echo in return “Gwoss!”
Two characters that are not gwoss are Wallace and Gromit. But sometimes in my [...]

Wet pants

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

I had a bit of an accident outside yesterday. Thankfully, only some pride was hurt.
I went out as usual for a meal and to ogle at some toys. I was wearing my “big boy underwear” as mama calls it. My folks reminded me that I should tell them in advance if I had to poo-poo [...]
