Who says that only a painter’s model must be nude? The painter can be naked too.
OK, I wasn’t completely undressed (I was attired in my usual underwear), but you get the point.
Of course I looked serious! I was trying to explain to mama and grandma what I was doing. Plebeians!

What do I do when I visit papa at his office?
I run down the hallways. I visit people I know (and don’t know). I eat at the canteens. I walk on the grass. I hide behind pillars. I admire the egrets (yes, there are lots!).
When I am in papa’s room, I like to plonk myself [...]
I love surprises and I got a great one yesterday…
Apparently there was a toy fair at papa’s office and he spotted this! Yes, it’s a car that I can take apart and put together. (Well, mostly take apart!)
I love using the screwdriver to unscrew the screws and then removing the parts one by one. The [...]
One of the words I love saying and hearing is “disgusting”. It comes out with so much force and saying it right after I perform a disgusting act makes me laugh out loud!
Before I describe an example, do you know what “gorek” means? It means “to dig”. (Don’t get ahead of me, people!)
I used to [...]
I visited papa’s office, not once, but twice today!
I went there earlier in the day after mama and I visited our new apartment. Guess what? They are still doing the renovations! At least it is less messy now and it is beginning to look like a proper home. It will be complete when my toys [...]
I had my second Singapore-Bloomington get-together in as many months. Thank you Uncle Wee Yong and Aunty Yuh Jen for hosting it.
I couldn’t remember most of the people there even though they claimed they talked to me while I was in mama’s belly or came to visit me when I was younger. Did you give [...]
Take a close look at this scanned image first. It’s a page from one of my favourite books, Eric the Red.
Eric is a unique bear. He is red all over, loves numbers, and works at the Big Bear Bank!
One evening, I decided that I had to have that book with me during dinner. Instead of [...]
I sometimes play a game where I must say “magic words” before anything happens.
If I need my toy car to go past a barrier, I need to say, “Open sesame”. I have also been taught “Abracadabra!’ and “A la peanut butter sandwiches!” amongst others.
I did not realise that peanut butter and bread were magical. (But [...]
Most people have pupils that are round. Papa says that I have pupils that are car-shaped. He claims that is how I have an eye (two eyes) for cars!
Maybe that’s true. I can rattle off the names of my new friends if I recall what toy vehicles they have at home. For example, I can [...]
Anything you can do, I can do… better!
That is a picture of me vacuuming with my toy Dyson while mama uses hers.
