Stand up

Friday, August 31st, 2007

I normally sit down when I pee. Only when I go out and use public loos do I stand up to do my deed. Even then, papa has to lift me up so I can hit the inside of the urinal!
There are exceptions of course. I like loos with urinals that take kiddies into account. [...]

Burdened?

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I feel burdened. Literally.
It has not escaped my notice that I have to carry my own bag to and from school. I have observed the other kiddies’ maids or parents carrying the bags. Why do I have to be my own beast of burden?
If this carries on, I may eventually have to put my things [...]

Pusat?

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Burning, burning, burning! Some people are burning paper doing downstairs.
It stinks and it is not helping my cough. The ashes fly up into our apartment and that makes mama mad. So we keep our windows closed.
I am told that these folks burn paper every year during the Hungry Ghost Festival. I guess the smoke chases [...]

Uniform

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Monday mornings signal the start of a new school week. If that was not bad enough, I have to don a “girly” uniform!
But for some reason or other, I like looking at myself in the mirror when I wear it.
I wear that light blue number in the morning. I change into another set (T-shirt and [...]

Fleece?

Monday, August 27th, 2007

I’m back home from an overnight stay at my grandparents’ place.
Did I fleece them? You betcha! But only a cotton ball’s worth. Hey, even I know something about moderation!
I didn’t want to return home and raised a small stink when mama came to pick me up. Unfortunately, mama had “deodoriser” and used it on me. [...]

Overnight

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

I visited Ah Gong and Ah Ma and Grandma and Grandpa today!
My attempt to stay with Ah Gong and Ah Ma failed because we had a dinner date with grandpa and grandma. Fortunately, I convinced my parents to let me stay overnight at grandpa and grandma’s place.
Why? I want to try to convince them [...]

Decorations!

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Thank you, Godma Sohie, for the package!
I received the surprise parcel yesterday. It had a letter, two small bears, “Cars” movie stickers, and Thomas stickers in it!
I promptly stuck the stickers on my table and hung the bears (humanely) on my drawer handles. Ooh, my very first attempts at home improvement!

Blunder Pets?

Friday, August 24th, 2007

You know, if there is a fun song that I enjoy, papa will find a way to ruin it!
I told you about the Wonder Pets yesterday and even sang the song for you. Here is papa’s version.
Blunder Pets, Blunder Pets
We’re on the floor
We wander all around
And hit the door
We’re not too bright
And we’re not too [...]

Wonder Pets

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

One thing I don’t like about going to school is that I miss my morning shows. One of my favourites is “Wonder Pets”.
Fortunately, we have a digital video recorder and mama records the shows that I miss every week day! Go, Wonder Pets!
When I come home from school, I get to watch Lenny and Tuck [...]

Moving

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

I was still recovering from a cough and cold, so hung out with mama instead of attending school today. I had such a moving experience!
One of our pit stops was lunch at a Japanese place. The food moved around on conveyor belts and you took what you wanted! (So is that the kind of [...]
