Sneeze! Cough! I have a cold and now I am getting a cough.
You better not get too close to the screen. You might get a computer virus!
Hee-hee! Cough, cough!

Papa tells me that after a year after returning to Singapore, he received an email from the Bloomington library. The email said that their records showed that he had not borrowed anything in a while and encouraged him to visit.
Then papa reminded me how he recently had to reactivate his identity card so that here [...]

Today I found out what a drive-thru was.
Papa says that if we were still living in the US, I would be accustomed to fast food drive thru’s. He says that many people there have wheels instead of legs… and that they look like wheels as a result. Silly man!
Anyway, I did not realise that we [...]

Even though I like taking the bus and train, I must admit that taking the car is fun too.
For example, whenever we return from grandpa’s and grandma’s place, we drive by a Lamborghini showroom! I love ogling the different coloured cars on display there.
Unfortunately, someone took my favourite blue one away. If you see a [...]

Do you like tickling your brain? I do!
By brain-tickling, I do not mean mental stimulation. I am more literal than symbolic. (Papa says to ask Piaget what I mean. Who?)
Anyway, I “tickle” my brain whenever a booger tickles in the inside of my nose. I just think that it is fair for me to tickle [...]

I think I now know the meaning of stress…
First I have to admit something. I don’t like school now as much as I liked it before. There are so many kids who want attention. Most of the toys are not as cool as the ones I have at home. Some of the kids around me [...]

Gag… cough! Eek, the haze is back!
It’s not? Oh, some folks are burning incense paper and candles downstairs. The smell and ash are in the air (and sometimes on our floor and walls).
But since I get to sleep in air-conditioned comfort because of this, I am not complaining. Not now and not so loud at [...]

Some adults marvel at my “amazing memory”. My folks are more sceptical.
Why? There are some things that I can remember is great detail weeks or even months after they happened. Then there are things that just happened that might as well not have because I don’t remember a thing.
I can re-enact scenes from the”Cars” movie [...]

First it was elevator buttons. Now it’s phone buttons!
I am responsible for my folks’ ups and downs. I don’t mean their moods (even though they might argue otherwise)! I am the official lift operator whenever we are out and about.
I am also the official phone dialler and answerer. I make it a point to dial [...]

OK, OK… I know you want to see me in my school uniform!
Here’s one of me in my T-shirt and shorts combo. I am not sure if you should see me in the girly, checkered version…
