I have been in Singapore for nine months. Why did it take so long for my folks to introduce me to kacang putih?
I am told kacang putih literally means “nut/bean/pea white”, but actually refers to green peas. In reality it includes a variety of peas, nuts, and beans.
The kacang putih mama bought me consisted of [...]
What do “alien eggs” have to do with ice cream? Everything! Allow me to explain…
Today we visited an ice cream factory that held a sale on its premises. Everything was cheap, so lots of people showed up!
We bought a small igloo’s worth of ice cream and packed it with dry ice. I had not heard [...]
Apparently good things come to those who wait. I don’t really know if that is true because I am always on the move. But I kind of found that out today…
Mama was busy removing some yucky stuff that was growing in the closet. Papa was busy trying to finish a consultancy project. I was busy [...]
Ahh, it’s great to be treated like royalty…
Both of my folks have cut my nails before but never at the same time!
Mama decided to cut my fingernails today because I seemed to be growing claws instead. Snip by snip I returned to being a human animal.
Then papa joined in and started cutting my toenails. Clip-clip-clip [...]

While at the mall, I helped papa buy a new pair of slippers (his old pair were real slip-pers!). And since the [...]
When my folks read to me, they like asking me about what I see on the pages. I love answering, whether or not my answers make sense to them! (They make perfect sense to me!)
I rediscovered one of my favourite books at the local library, Jamberry. Mama was reading it to me and papa when [...]
Bathing always puts me in a good mood. I feel refreshed after a good bath. Sometimes I feel inspired during a bath, just like today…
My creative juices got going so I co-authored a few riddles with papa. The stimulus? A helicopter flying overhead!
Q: What sound does a normal helicopter make?
A: Chopper-chopper-chopper-chopper-chopper!
Q: What sound does a [...]
Something’s afoot, I can almost feel it! I have also started to use the phrase “when I was younger.” So papa helped me look back in time…
A year ago, I was still in the USA and enjoying myself at WonderLab. Two years ago, I was outdoors enjoying a nippy spring afternoon. Three years ago, I [...]
Remember how I told you that I try to help mama in the kitchen? Mama lets me help in small ways. But today she helped me in a big way!
Mama bought me a set of plastic fruits and veggies and bread that I can “cut” with a plastic knife and on a plastic board. Yes, [...]
