The end

Monday, December 31st, 2007

It’s finally come to this.
The end.
Of the year, not the blog!
I will not be reflecting because I did that last year. All I saw then was me looking back and I can do that any day! Instead, I’ll tell you how today almost became a disaster!
Today was a half-day at school. I knew that. My [...]

Partied out!

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Oops! I am backdating this entry because I had a late, late night on Friday…
Mama’s friends came over for a potluck at our place today. (It was my sixth Christmas-related gathering!) I was hoping to show off my toys and my Wii skills, but I did not get as much attention as I deserved. I [...]

Godma

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

I have heard that some stories have fairy godmothers in them.
Bah, humbug! I don’t think that they’re real! Even if they were real, they cannot be as good as real godmothers!
I have one, godma Sohie, in Canada who grants me wishes even though she is so far away! (She must have very good hearing or [...]

Party animal!

How was your Christmas? Mine was great since I received so many presents! And I am not done celebrating!
Last evening, we visited the Theodas’ for a former-Bloomington folks get-together. Here’s a picture of the Bloomington playgroup members who returned to Singapore! (It looks like papa has been reduced to taking plain Jane group shots.)
Almost needless [...]

Finally!

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

I opened my presents today. Boy, was I exhausted opening all of them!
I had so many and I was so pooped that I had to nap in between “opening ceremonies.” Papa said that it looked more like the aftermath of “plundering and pillaging.”
I had so many presents that we moved some of my train sets [...]

Eve

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Christmas Eve is finally here!
The only thing better than the Eve of Christmas is Christmas Day itself! Why? Because I will finally get to open the presents that have been waiting patiently for me under our tree!
But before that could happen, I received another bumper crop of presents after attending a party at Kuku Denise’s [...]

Singapour

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

Man, it rains so much now that I understand why it’s called Singa-pour.
It’s not? Well, it should because when it rains, it pours! And it rains and rains and rains, especially in the day when we really need to get somewhere or to get things done.
The only good thing about the rain is that it [...]

Christmas party

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Today is Hari Raya Haji and I had a Christmas party at Kaatje’s place. That’s just how rojak life is here in Singapore!
I had a blast because (and despite) of the presence of some of my classmates from school. We decorated and ate our own cookies, visited Kaatje’s room, and played with whatever toys we [...]

Potluck

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Want to see another photo of me? Of course you do!
Unfortunately, you will also have to bear with the other people in the photo. These were the some of the folks who came over yesterday for our potluck dinner.
Enjoy!

Hard work or hardly working?

Hey, what’s up with the Christmas presents? Something is different underneath our tree!
Oh, did I forget to mention that presents miraculously appeared underneath our tree recently? Mama finally took them out from her hiding place… and boy, were they are sight to behold. “Behold” only because that was all I was allowed to do: look [...]
