Ta-ta 2006!

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

Papa says that it is the time of year to reflect. So I went over to the mirror and I loved what I saw. Hello, gorgeous! (Same joke as last year but it still works! It’s a classic I tell ya!)
It’s been a dramatic year according to my folks. Papa got his Ph.D. (in something [...]

Real song

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

Do you like singing songs? I love singing songs!
What songs do you like to sing? I like to sing the usual array of kiddie songs. But I also like to sing the songs that I hear in my favourite DVDs.
I like “Real Gone” by Sheryl Crow because it is in the “Cars” DVD! Whenever [...]

Rainy

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

I’ll forgive Santa for not bringing me some of the presents on my wish list. He must have had a tough time with the monsoon rains.
It doesn’t snow here in Singapore, but, boy, can it rain! It can rain for days on end. According to a report, we recently got more rain in a 24-hour [...]

English

Friday, December 29th, 2006

Many moons ago, I visited some shops with Ah Gong to ogle at things. I was only interested in toys, so I don’t know what Ah Gong ogled at!
Anyway, one shopkeeper remarked that my English was very good for a two year-old. (His English was very bad for a 50+ year-old. It seemed like the [...]

Precious

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Gollum of The Lord of the Rings likes clutching his ring as he says, “My precious!”
I like clutching my toy truck while I say, “My precious!”

Galore!

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

Presents, presents, and more presents. I just can’t get enough of them!
I should mention that I started getting presents even before Christmas! I attended mei-mei Skyler’s birthday party a few days before Christmas and was given a few presents. Cool!
I was under the impression that the cake and presents were only for the birthday girl. [...]

Xmas 2006

Monday, December 25th, 2006

Merry Christmas, everybody! I say that now in case my folks tell me to greet everyone by title and name again…
Yes, it was my first Christmas in Singapore and, boy, was it an experience! The best part about it was the bumper crop of presents I received. But before I got the gifts, I had [...]

Presenting

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

Parents can be cruel. Many people already mistake me for a girl and they do this to me?
Apparently I am supposed to be mama’s present because it is her birthday today.
If I am her present, where’s the cake? Or do you expect me to “bake brownies” too?

Tingly!

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

I am a-tingling all over… and it’s not because I stuck my finger in the electric socket!
Spider-Man has his “spidey” sense and I think I have “present sense”. I sense that I am about to experience a windfall of shiny goodies this year!
I think that I deserve them after being far away in Bloomington for [...]

Carol?

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

Christmas is also a time for carols (I am told that they are songs, not birthdays of people named Carol).
Have you heard of this variation of “Jingle Bells”?
Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg
The Batmobile lost a wheel
And Joker got away, hey!
Yeah, my folks can be juvenile.
Anyway, here are some photos of the Christmas [...]
