The Wiggles may have their own big red car, but I have my red reading couch in my room!
It is here that I read books with mama before I have my afternoon nap or just before bedtime. Sometimes I read to the big black bear. Other times the couch is a platform for my cars [...]
Is this what I have been missing while I was in the US of A? I am talking about the hong baos at the end of the reunion dinner!
The dinner itself was no fun. There was lots of weird and exotic food served by people in weird and exotic looking outfits (Ah Gong and Ah [...]
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. I know about it because I remember a book that I used to read where a mouse loved eating chocolate valentine hearts!
Anyway, all papa got for mama were some flowers. Ah, phooey! If my folks let me loose downstairs, I am sure that I could have collected a whole bunch!
Mama’s present [...]
Apparently being a “heartlands boy” means that I am part of the Singapore heartbeat. This is where people live and die. This is what pumps the economy and keeps Singapore vibrant.
If by vibrant they mean having Malay weddings and Chinese funerals at void decks, then it is heartlands indeed! But do mamas give birth downstairs [...]
My folks say that I am now a “heartlands” boy. Huh, what’s that?
They tell me that my new label is due to the fact that we are now living in public housing instead of a private condominium or landed property.

There is something I don’t understand. We have already moved to our new place, but why are the contractor and workers still visiting us and messing with our things?
My folks tell me that some things are not quite ready yet. For example, the entertainment centre and our bathroom shelves are “works in progress”.
What a [...]
You know I love stickers as much as my folks dislike them. Why? Because I stick new ones wherever I like and I remove old ones whenever I feel like it.
Any toy that does not have details painted or etched on will suffer the consequences: I peel those yummy looking stickers off! Any new stickers [...]
Today I visited the small playground downstairs with mama. I had been there before when our flat was not quite ready, but it was different now. Now I am a resident!
I befriended an Indian boy and we played ball. Whee, it was so much fun!
After we were done, I said goodbye to the boy and [...]
I could get used to this!

Finally, some gratification!
After what seemed like an eternity, my folks rewarded me with an outing. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t cooped up at home all this time. But trips to the nearest shopping centre and the mamak stall downstairs don’t count!
I got to go to a proper mall and a real playground! Best of [...]
