Coins = Cars

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

One thing I started doing is collecting coins my my little bucket. Sometimes I stack them up or line them up. I also ask mama and papa what I can buy with this coin or that. Papa thinks that it is time that I learned the value of money.
Yes, tell me how many coins I [...]

War injury

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

I was particularly excited about going to school today. I had a “war” injury that I could show off!
Yes, I wanted to show my teachers and friends my plastered thumb and to tell them all about the injury. It didn’t hurt any more, but my friends didn’t have to know that!
All they needed to know [...]

Bloody day

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

There was quite a bit of excitement towards the end of my school day. One of my school mates dripped blood on the music room floor!
I saw some bits and heard others, and this is what I pieced together. Boy A scratched Boy B’s hand. Boy B fled and bled. There was so much drama [...]

Monkey see…

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Monkey do. I can’t help it… I was born in the year of the monkey!
I like imitating mama and papa. I learn how to do some things this way. Other times I mirror them! I position myself like them and follow their actions. It’s fun for me and they seemed amused.
But I have learned that [...]

Media influence

Friday, July 25th, 2008

I decided to draw a mouse a few days ago. Quite naturally, it was blue!

When papa asked me why I drew it, I replied that I wanted to draw something cute. Doesn’t it look cute? Then he asked me why it was blue. Well, duh! Just because!
Papa thinks that I drew the mouse because I [...]

Fan of Lucas

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

I don’t know George Lucus personally, but I am a fan of his work! I love Star Wars and Indiana Jones!
I first learned about these movies through the Wii LEGO games of the same names. I then watched some of these movies and loved every minute of them. (Well, just the parts with a lot [...]

Late?

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

I got rather upset with some of my friends at school yesterday.
When I get to school, I am normally greeted by my welcome wagon in the playground. But as it was raining yesterday, I got there a few minutes later and everyone was cooped up in the school.
One of my friends said that I was [...]

Mood lighting

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Not too long ago, papa bought bedside table lamps. He called them “mood” lighting and asked me what I thought of them.
Hmm, are the lamps supposed to work like mood rings? You know, the ones that change colour when your mood changes? If so, the lamps papa bought seem to be broken. They are stuck [...]

Performance

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

My classmates and I performed for our parents yesterday. In fact, just about all the kiddies in school were involved!
My Nursery 2 class was up first. We thought that the N1 class might be nervous if they went first. But I don’t think it would have made a difference because most of them had stage [...]
