Uplifting

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Everyday is an adventure because I make it so.
Have I told you about how I like to take the elevator on my own? I can’t remember if I have. But anything worth telling is worth telling twice!
When I get home from school, I look forward to running down a ramp that leads from the carpark [...]

Tooth storage

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Papa likes to say that even though I have half of his DNA and half of mama’s, I have 90% of mama’s genetic expression and only 10% of his.
His latest discovery was that mama and I both store food in our teeth the same way. What he meant to say was that food gets stuck [...]

Gila monster

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Last week, one of my classmates brought a book to school and one of my teachers decided to read it to us.
She reached the part about a reptile called a gila monster. She pronounced it “geela”, but I knew it was pronounced “heela”. So I told her. When I got back from school, I told [...]

Futuristic farming

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

I am learning about futuristic farming in my junior Science programme at school.
Yesterday, our teacher told us about hydroponics. Then we made our own salad out of some vegetables. Mine had lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and some crackers.
I had some of my salad for dinner, but the crackers were soggy. Perhaps they shouldn’t have tried growing [...]

Caterpillars!

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I have two caterpillars!
Some of papa’s trainees did a presentation yesterday, and for some reason or other, they had excess caterpillars. Is this a new  presentation format that I am not aware of?
In any case, I am not complaining. I was so excited to see them. I am more excited now because one has already [...]

Combined happiness!

Monday, October 26th, 2009

What a weekend I had…
On Friday, mama had a girls’ evening out so papa and I had a boys’ evening out. We bought Spore Hero for the Wii. It is so much more fun than the one for the iPod Touch because my creature is now on land!
We also found out that grandpa won some [...]

PTC?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Parent Teacher Conference. That is what PTC stands for. It’s an excuse for my teachers to avoid us and meet with parents instead.
Why would they want to do that? We are infinitely more interesting than parents!
And I know that all they do is talk about us. If they were interested in us, come join us [...]

Spare room

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

It looks like my folks are finally doing something about our spare room. There is a new fan-light combo on the ceiling. It looks just like other ones in the study and bedrooms, but this one is new and has a black remote. Ting!
I think I use the spare room the most. Some of my [...]

Mindful

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I did not go to school yesterday because it was a sort-of-holiday.
Papa had Monday off as his workplace gave him the day off for Deepavali on Saturday. It was business as usual at my school. But papa wanted to observe his student teachers’ service learning project and thought that I might want to see [...]

Musical tastes

Monday, October 19th, 2009

I like different kinds of music. And I don’t mean the songs that we sing in school!
Learning those songs are fine as long as we get to perform them for someone or if there are lots of actions associated with it. It makes learning them more fun!
No, I am talking about the songs that are [...]
