High Definition Specs?

Image
A nice-looking special specs - used to look at pictures to have that 3-D effects, like the True HD... became my toy last night. I played with it for awhile and slept with it beside me on my bed. The next day which is just now - I told Mom Ray: "Mommy, tis one broken already. Jordan (my classmate) break it. I throw away ah" So Mommy asked "Are u sure it is Jordan or you?" Ray: "Its Jordan, Mommy. I throw away Okay?" Mom nodded her head. But in her thoughts, she suspected it could be me. Well, I had a bad habit now. When something happens, I will use another name to cover my mistakes. Hence, Mom has somehow lost the trust in me. It is easy to gain her trust back thought since am her precious lil babe. But, she will try to correct me and tell me, "If it is you, you must not push the blame on others. U must admit". Although I know nuts about her statement, but she had repeatedly told me quite a number of times, in hope it gets drilled in my head. A...

Umbrella

Image
A brolly is always very convenient whether it rains or shines (it is horrendously warm nowadays). Recently, I had learnt to put an umbrella in my schoolbag. Actually, Mom wanted to get a raincoat for me. But there is no suitable size for me though. Anyone knows? Very often, I wanted to open the umbrella and play in the house. But Mom and Dad didnt allow and get even more agitated if I go against them. For the chines; opening up an umbrella in the house will bring bad luck. There are some who believes bad luck will occur by opening an umbrella indoors as it offend the household gods; with a misinterpretation that their protection against the "Elements" are insufficient. Strangely umbrella is considered as an lucky item to be brought around, even on a sunny day in India.

Cut shorter

Image
Had another haircut again tis time; it is shorter than before. I went back to my hairdresser and of cos it has always been a challenge to any one of them. Tis is the 2nd time I went back to her (I didnt go back to the old uncle barber shop anymore). She knows me and straightaway gave me a lollipop to suckle... Like what I had said before, I didnt have a pacifier before. So I didnt know where to start at first... I only stared at the lollipop; wanting to eat but didnt know how to because it is too hard to bite. Mom taught me to suckle, I tried for a while during the process of hair cutting and ended up biting it instead. Keep it this way, Mom. Only sweets at the salon.

I am the Lift Boy

Image
It looks like I am in-charge of the lifts in my block. I do not allow anyone to press the lift - be it outside or inside the lift. I must be the only one to press for the lift to arrive at my 8th storey or to press to go to the ground level. If anyone is to press like outsiders, I will fret and start to fuss in the lift with all the strange corner eyes glaring at me. Otherwise, I will scream and sit on the floor if Mom or Dad is the culprit. In order to save themselves from all the ear sufferings, they rather not do anything but let me do the job. But I always get mixed up with the button 8 and 10. Very often, my finger will reach out to the 10 Button (10th Storey). On the other hand, I like to press 2 instead of 1. So Mom always try her best to guide me along the way most of the time. Once in a while, I will ask her, "I press this yeah" and the small little finger pointing at 1. When it did end up wrongly and open its doors at the 2nd storey, I would say, "Orh, monster ...

Toilet-trained

Image
Okay, this is gonna be kinda gross. U can skip tis if u do not feel comfortable though. Honestly, there are no rules or procedures to toilet train a boy like me. I didnt go thru all these. I didnt have a Potty (so much about Potty HERE ); we didnt get one. I have to thank my teachers at the childcare centre instead whom had trained me to ask to go to the Toilet for a PEE or POO. In the middle of the night, I refused to pee in the diaper. I will wake Mommy up just to bring me to the loo. Yes, it is quite frustrating for her but yet she felt relieved. Its not so much about cost-savings but she is surprised as she didnt put in much efforts as far as toilet training is concerned. It could be because I was always brought directly to the adult's toilet bowl (at home) whenever there is an urge. So more or less, am already so used to it and am well aware that this special enclosed space is for doing my personal business. I no longer poo in the diaper, not even outdoors. I would rather bear...

Formula Drift

Image
This is the day filled with awe, a little bit of fear and excitement. My 1st time (yeah, of course it is my first time) to watch the fascinating & colourful cars drift as they made they turns during those extreme bends. However, to Mom & Dad - it wasnt that exciting afterall. According to them, there are better ones and especially in countries with really good circuits. Well, this is just an experience for me. All I said was - "Wow, Mommy u see, smoke and fire.", "Wow, fire"... actually the "fire" am referring to is the smoke that the exhausts gave out. IN any case, Mom didnt want me to be obssessed with many toys like cars. Dunno why, but she just didnt want me to get too infatuated in any things. To her, moderate is a good word. Of course when it comes to toys, I had never want to let go. Mom has to think of ways and plans to forbid me from over-playing... at the age of 3? Yes, forbid. She has seen many kids, played too much and at the end of the...

School Fish Farm Trip

Image
Today we went to the Fish Farm (again) - its a school trip, SGD 16.00 paid in advance for each student. At first, Mom was wondering why it would cost that much to just a fish farm. But now (just only), she realised it is because of the 2 fishes - gifted (so-called) by the fish farm. Obviously, these fishes had been paid for -- haa, SGD 16.00, nah but probably a little lesser after deducting the transport costs. So, we were all given a brand new fish tank with 2 goldfish. Mom scratched her head as she sees them. Honestly, she has no experience in looking after an aquarium. So she spent some time on the net, to research on Care for Goldfish and sorts... Anyway, here are the findings; Buy a big enough goldfish aquarium: The classic round goldfish bowl with the narrow opening at the top is actually one of the poorest choices for keeping fish alive and healthy, according to many experts... Buy a water filter with an air pump: Goldfish need highly oxygenated air because unlike betta fish, ...

Read & Sing

My favorite pastime is not only eating junk food but singing as I read. Sometimes I sing out of tune and Mom laughed secretly inside her heart. Honestly, the school does has a great influence over me I would say, all the singing and reading had not only enriched me but saved alot of time for Mommy... Nowadays, she realised that I had learnt a lot of new words thru books and even singing which she thought are meant for Primary School learners. Good foundation of course but hopes it wouldnt be stressful for me in the near future.

Ant-Killer

Our common enemy in the house is Ant. Urrgh, I really detest Ants so much. The sight of them makes me yell at the top of my voice and I will eventually hit them with bare hands.. No one in the family had taught me the method of killing Ants. So Mom believed it should be either the school teacher or my schoolmates whom had done the same before. Again, its another form of imitation. Mom dislikes insects also, whenever she sees bees (smaller ones), flying beetles, flying ants and cockroaches, she will jump! I share the same reaction as her. But she puts on a brave front of course when Im around in hope that I will be the hero for her.. the next time a BIG cockroach pays us a visit.

Pack to School

Image
I love to pack food and sometimes certain toys to school in the morning. Reason - not because I do not like the food in school but I would love to have lots of food with me; be it jelly, cookies, fruits like strawberries, bananas, etc in a small plastic bag, hand-held it and walk to school with Mommy. Initially, I would immediately open the plastic bag when I reached school & eat the food which I bought. But recently, I started to hand the bag of food to Mom and tell her to keep it in my school bag (hurriedly) just at the point when I reached the school doorstep. She suspected - someone must have "told me off" by telling me - "no outside food is allowed"??? Well, she cant think of any other reason for this . Anyway, she finds no reason why is outside home-food not allowed. She didnt raise this concern to any of the teachers (yet) since this is trivial. Just that, she feels weird somehow. Well, she wouldnt care unless some teacher decides to address this personal...

Traditional biscuits

Image
This biscuit used to be Mom's favourite when she was young. Never did she know, this could be one of HER son's Hottie as well. Different colours of sugar coating was dripped individually on each mini biscuit. Simple and yet it should attract many toddlers.. Well, it attracts me at least - I named it "My NEW BISCUIT!"

Do my own laundry

As I had seen both Mommy and my maid do the laundry before; I began to imitate them. I took my own basket of clothes, some pegs and a short bamboo stick; started to hang my own clothes one by one with pegs. This scene is really cute... Toddlers are "busybody" by nature, and most like to act like adults.. hahahaa, Im one of them though, imitate the way Mom scolds me sometimes too. My choice of words, vocabulary usually sounds like Mom. Mom is fierce I would say but most of the times, she is soft-hearted to me. Again, thats not too good as I love to take advantage of Mommy only. Strange is, I will not take advantage of Daddy or Por-por because I know whom I can bully and yet loves me the most in this world.

Yoghurt

Image
Sometimes, I am so sick and tired of milk, milk and milk! Nowadays, I have a mixture of liquids like Daddy's prune juice, Mommy's fruits juice and then we have Yakult. Now, new product introduced --- to me, Yoghurt Drink. Hey, honestly I prefer Yoghurt now than any other juices... Its very sweet no doubt but it is very healthy for older toddlers like me. I drank it every alternate day. And because of its compact mini size, it is easy to grab and the amount is just nice for me. You can get it easily at any Supermarkets... Cheap and good indeed!
