Deja vu

Friday, August 15th, 2008

My classmates and I went out on a fieldtrip to the Jurong Bird Park today.
Yes, I had visited the place a month ago, but I was glad to be back. I especially liked looking at the penguins, owls, and the performing birds.
Unfortunately, we did not visit the water play area. I think my teachers were [...]

Ghost food

Friday, August 15th, 2008

It’s that time of year when the air smells of smoke. No, I am not talking about bush fires or mass BBQs. I am talking about the hungry ghost month.
I see (and smell) some people burning paper downstairs. They share the smoke and ash with the rest of the neighbourhood. My folks tell me that [...]

Scary loo

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

One of my habits is to excuse myself from the dinner table in order to go to the loo. (Hey, if nature calls, you had better answer or else deal with a natural disaster!)
It is my way of 1) changing the scenery, and 2) making space for more food. But papa wanted to know why [...]

Curry

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

I have started sampling curry. Only with roti prata, mind you. And I have my own way of eating it!
I used to only eat spicy things that were crunchy. But I make the exception with prata because it tastes so good!
I like taking a small piece of prata and dipping it in some curry. Before [...]

Fortunately

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Did you know that some folks got a day off today because Saturday was National Day? Unfortunately, my school was open for business as usual.
Fortunately, I managed to wriggle out of school! I skipped my fortnightly overnight stay with grandma and grandpa last week, so I decided to make up for it this week. On [...]

Happy National Day, everybody!
Hey, didn’t I already celebrate my ND on the 4th of July? USA, USA, USA!

It’s Friday

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I made a mistake. I did not hear a butterfly fart in China yesterday. Instead it was a butterfly telling me what an auspicious day today would be. So I decided to get a haircut.
What? That’s not the important event I was supposed to talk about? Oh, OK… the Olympic Summer Games starts today. I [...]

Ear yee, ear yee!

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

I have written about a lot of gross thing in the past. But today’s entry might be the grossest because I intend to include a picture to leave no room for imagination!
If you have a sensitive constitution, you might not want to read beyond this paragraph. If you have a weak heart, you won’t want [...]

Chicken-licken

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

OK, I have to come clean about something…
Last week I bragged about how I enjoyed the attention I got from my friends at school when I showed up with an injured thumb. I felt very brave when I told them how much it hurt and how it bled!
But I did not tell you that I [...]

Horror nap

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I recovered from my cold and went to school today. But I got a “welcome” at nap time that I did not expect.
I found it a bit difficult to go to sleep at nap time. How could I when my neighbour flopped about and decided to use me as a bolster?
I lay frozen in fear [...]
