Tricky

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Earlier this week someone asked me a tricky question: Do you love your mummy or daddy more?
I did not have a rehearsed or coached answer that question never crossed our minds. I had to think on the spot.
First, it’s not “mummy” and “daddy” but mama and papa, OK?
Second, I told that person that I love [...]

Mourning morning

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I was too pooped to go to school this morning. More accurately, mama was too pooped to send me to school this morning.
Mourning does take quite a lot out of you in the morning.

Cremation

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Ah Ma was cremated this evening.
I got a little bit upset when I saw Ah Gong weeping. When I realised what they were going to do I said, “They are going to burn Ah Ma!” and I cried.
Our tears could not put the fire out, but I think they made us feel a little bit [...]

Wake

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I am spending the day away from school and am with mama at Ah Ma’s wake instead. No, it’s not morbid. It’s quite educational!
I have packed my Trunki with all the stuff I need for the day and there are lots of visitors at the funeral home. Did I also mention that the place is [...]

Goodbye, Ah Ma…

Ah Ma passed away a short while ago. Mama is very sad. I am sure that Ah Gong will be very sad too.

Verve nerve

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Mama has a night out with her pals tonight. It is someone’s birthday!
Normally I’d have a boys night out with papa, but when I found out that they were going to Verve, I mustered all my nerve and invited myself to that party. Hee-hee!
We’ll go out some other time, OK papa?

W is for…

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Window, well, warm, with and way. Those were the words I wrote when my teacher asked me to suggest some words that began with W.
I also thought of whiskers. Not those belonging to a cat or dog, but papa’s! Here’s my drawing of papa (click to see a larger version)…

I have one question though: Why [...]

Surprise, surprise

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

I came home today to another surprise. We have a new TV in the living room!
The one that was there is now in our spare room. The one outside is huge and for me to play games on. Yay!
Well, it’s for watching TV and movies too, but I am only interested in larger versions of [...]

Refreshed

Monday, November 9th, 2009

I stayed home from school today because I was not feeling well. I was suffering from the Monday blues! Nah, I had a mild flu.
I like staying at home because it always feels like the weekend here. And now there is one more room for me to enjoy.
Mama and papa redecorated the spare room and [...]

Starry, starry night

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

I have a new night light in my room. Make that night lights… a whole string of them!
Mama wanted some Christmas lights from IKEA so we got some. There are some on our side table and our feature wall in the living room.
One string of LED lights was too short, but papa thought of a [...]
