Countdown to Shu Shu and Aunty Dawn's Wedding

For the past 2 weeks, I had been at home with Mama because of hand-foot-mouth disease and I often told Mama I wanted to go to Shu Shu's wedding now. 

So Mama came up with an idea. She sat next to me at the computer and helped me put a table on an empty Word document. She then got me to key in the numbers in each square and we printed this out. She taught me to cross out one box every day until we reached the box at the bottom left hand corner. 

Ok, it may be too faint for you to see it but that word says "wedding". 

So every one or two days, I will make crosses in the boxes. Shu shu's wedding is just 2 weeks from now. I want to go Shu Shu's wedding!! :) 


Church Wedding

Dear all, 
These were taken when I attended a church wedding on 14th April 2012. 

 If you are wondering where are the pictures of the bride and groom, sorry, there aren't any. Mama thinks the church wedding is probably another iPad gaming session to me. She was slightly amused how I was able to attract so many friends with an iPad. What's more, I was able to gently shrug off any hands that are unwelcomed so that I maintained the ownership of the iPad. Though I am not aggressive, I am certainly no pushover either. No episode of the iPad being snatched away from some bullies and me bursting out in tears.

Maybe this because these children grew up in Christian homes and they are very well brought up. Mama also enjoyed herself catching up with her reading somewhere nearby.


This wedding was held in Johor Bahru followed by a 8 course lunch reception.


During the wedding service, I clung to Mama like a koala bear and with her explanation, I managed to sit through the wedding procession as well as the praise and worship. Mama took the chance to educate me about being a page boy for Shu Shu's wedding. I agreed to help Shu Shu carry the ring pillow during his wedding. 


When I were not able to stay in the worship hall, Mama took me out and we found some nice sofa outside the worship hall where I played with my parents' iPad.


This is Papa and me, waiting for Nai Nai, Shu Shu and Aunty Dawn to come out of the shopping mall behind us. The worship hall was actually in this mall. After this, we went for a 8 course wedding lunch reception. It was just like a typical Chinese wedding dinner in Singapore, except it was held in the afternoon.

Mama thinks my behaviour at the lunch reception was rather commendable even though I was really tired. The reception only started at around 2.30pm and finished at around 4pm. By the time we arrived back in Singapore at around 6pm, I was so tired that I fell asleep in Papa's car. Now, I am looking forward to Shu Shu and Aunty Dawn's wedding almost everyday but that's for another post. :)

A Secret Visit to Mama's Office

On Maundy Thursday, Papa has to go for his evening Bible Class and Nai Nai wanted to go for Maundy Thursday evening service. Hence Mama took a half day off from her work in the afternoon to make dinner for me and fetch me from school. When she fed me dinner, she thought she should try to bring me to Papa's bible school where her office is since it is a public holiday the following day and so we made our way to the school Papa is studying in. 

First we had to take MRT to Bishan and changed to Circle Line. Mama realised she had not taken a MRT with me for quite a while. The train was not crowded and here I am, showing Mama my funny face. 


I wanted to take a picture of Mama when we were walking to the Circle Line platform and this is what we got. See, my Mama is in a blur.

When we got to Mama's office, she let me go to the library and I took to this steering wheel. It's actually for manouvering the compactus. I had some fun here, turning the wheel round and round. This is right at the back of the library, the furthest from Papa's classroom. Mama thought if she kept me occupied here, I will not disrupt the class.


I asked a couple of times where is Papa's classroom but Mama refused to tell me as she was afraid I may disturb Papa's class. In fact, Papa had a small surprise when he saw me. He knew we were making our way to the school but he did not know we had already arrived. This shows how quiet I had been. With this, Papa is fine with me coming for him but Mama is not keen to bring me anymore as it's not everyday we have a public holiday the next day when I need not go to school.

Oh, by the way, when we arrived at Mama's school, most of the lights were already switched off and the library was closed. But Mama had taken advantage of her work position to switch on the lights and kept me occupied for a while with the laptop she uses for work. Actually, no one is supposed to be in the library after the library closes. This is a security issue we are talking about. So please don't tell Uncle Kok Weng, Mama's boss, ok? ;)

Funny Face!


This is the first time Mama catches me making funny faces. Cheeky, right? :)
