Luminous

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

I learned a new word yesterday: Luminous!
How did I learn the term? I attended mei-mei Valerie’s birthday party yesterday and among the party favours were bendy luminous sticks!
Ooh, what fun they were! They could be twisted into weird and wonderful shapes. Then, as the sun set, the sticks glowed!
I want these for my birthday party!

What-vore?

Monday, March 19th, 2007

I am told that I am an omnivore because I eat both meat and vegetables.
Is ice cream a meat or a vegetable? I don’t know the answer to that question. But I know that I am an icecreamivore!

Medal?

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

I thought that my trip to the zoo yesterday was exciting. The excitement did not end when I visited some army place to help papa collect a medal. I kid you not!
I don’t know why anyone would give papa a service medal. He has been away from Singapore longer than I have been on this [...]

Zoo poo!

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

I visited the Singapore Zoo with mama and some friends today. What a fun place it was!
There were so many animals there… and they were so much bigger than the pictures in my books. They were a lot smellier too!
I thoroughly enjoyed the wagon that mama rented. We used it to carry our bags and [...]

Off-on

Friday, March 16th, 2007

It’s no fun being small. Stuff just isn’t made for a li’l tyke!
Take the bathroom for instance. I need a stool to wash my hands or brush my teeth at the sink. I need help getting on or off the toilet bowl. Well, I used to need help until recently…
I discovered that I could use [...]

Preschool?

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Ooh-ooh, what an exciting day it was! I visited a “learning centre” today!
I pretended that mama’s car was a small, yellow school bus on the way there. The centre is actually on the same campus as papa’s office, so papa can learn a trick or two if he attends too!
I loved the fact that the [...]

Poser

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

It was a balmy day today. I thought that I could avoid it by visiting papa’s office. But instead of enjoying air-conditioned comfort, we went outdoors for a walk.
I had my spiffy backpack with me, so I felt exceptionally good. But I thought that it was too bright even with cloud [...]

Bad door!

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

I don’t like some doors here.
Bloomington doors are more fun. They are so easy to open that sometimes I think that all I have to do is fart and they open in fright!
Some Singapore doors are difficult to open! Mama and papa must have done something to them. While I can close them shut, I [...]

Parties

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Grandma and grandpa hosted a strange party today. We celebrated a death day and a birthday.
It has been a week since great-grandma passed away, but she somehow attended the party. Grandma told me that she was in an urn in papa’s old room.
We also celebrated Uncle David’s birthday. Hooray, there was cake! But while I [...]

Pesky

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

Oops, after some investigation (i.e., being a bit kaypoh), I found out that it is an upstairs neighbour that is renovating and a neighbour next door who is moving in.
At first I thought that our next door neighbours forgot to bring some stuff into their flat. Then papa told me that our neighbours believe that [...]
