Camp

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I was thrilled to learn that my school is offering a camping event later this year. One of my buddies attended a camp earlier in the year and told me all about it. So when this opportunity came up, I told my folks that I wanted to go. They are letting me go, woo-hoo!
But I [...]

Boo!

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

It’s Halloween tomorrow. Boo! Did I scare you?
What?! We don’t mark that event here in Singapore? Boo!
I guess I’d have to live in my home country to celebrate it in a big way. If I were celebrating Halloween, I’d dress as either Indiana Jones or Batman’s Two Face. None of that silly Sarah Palin rubbish [...]

Drawing on my experiences

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

My folks should seriously consider scanning a sample drawing of mine at least once a month. Why? I get inspired by different things. They might also learn a thing or two about me!
I am in my drawing-the-sun-clouds-trees-and-houses phase. I also like to draw vehicles, but I do that all the time. I draw in school [...]

Chapters

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

I like being read to and I like reading on my own. I have also begun to like books with chapters.
I first started noticing chapters in mama’s books, so I decided to give such books a try. These books look rather dry and have fewer or even no pictures! But I have an active imagination [...]

Rested

Monday, October 27th, 2008

How did you spend your day? I chilled out over the long weekend. I had one extra day of playing with LEGO Batman on the Wii, so I made full use of it.
I wish every weekend was long. I think I will insist on long weekends when I take over the world. And kiddies must [...]

Another play date

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

I went over to a new friend’s place yesterday for a play date. It was her turn to host because I had hosted earlier. Things started slowly at first, but by the end of the play date, we were inseparable!
In between, we played games, had lunch, and read a book or two. My friend was [...]

Hundreds of words

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Yesterday, my folks found out that I know a lot of words.
One of the teachers in nursery school told mama that kids from my school need to recognise between 200-300 words by the time we are ready for primary school. Primary school is a little over two years down the road for me.
My teacher told [...]

Obolo

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

I have had such a hectic week that I almost forgot to mention something else I experienced over the weekend: Obolo cakes!
Grandma discovered a place in Joo Chiat called Obolo (http://www.obolo.com.sg/) and she bought a few cakes for us to try. Most of them had chocolate and, boy, were they yummy!
I tried every one that [...]

Day out

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I had a grand day out today. I did not go to school because I accompanied mama on her jaunts to the Jacob Ballas garden and the Singapore Discovery Centre.
I had been to the gardens before, but I was better prepared this time. I was looking forward to the water play area and spent about [...]

Play date

Monday, October 20th, 2008

I had an eventful weekend. I not only stayed over at grandma and grandpa’s like I do every fortnight, I also had a play date to start the weekend.
There is a new girl in school. She’s Canadian and her parents are originally from Sri Lanka. But they are now in Singapore because her papa is [...]
