Mama School

Or more accurately, the school Mama was working in. Mama has been a shadow teacher from July to October. One day, she brought me to the school as she did not need to work but had to pick something up. I still remember we took a MRT to Bukit Batok and then boarded bus 173.

Mama spoke to Mr Lim outside the staffroom while I played with the games on her handphone. We also saw Miss Leong, the Science HOD who said I seem to be looking at the colourful surroundings. We ended the trip with a bowl of noodles at the school canteen. When we first arrived, there were many children at the canteen. Mama said they were having recess but when we were about to go home, there were no more children. Mama said they had gone back to class.

Here are some pictures of me eating a bowl of bee hoon on my own. I wanted to eat maggie mee. This is usually available in the form of fishball noodles in the school canteen but the canteen holder did not cook any instant noodles and I chose the white beehoon instead.

Oh, I also asked Mama to buy me a small bottle of juice and she did. See, it's near my bowl of noodle soup and I finished it all on my own!

Mama thought this is like a preview of me attending a primary school in a few years' time.....

Nai Nai's birthday

For Nai Nai's birthday this year, we had 2 rounds of celebration. Nai nai asked to have a birthday dinner at Imperial Herbal restaurant and so we had dinner there on the Saturday just before her actual birthday. After dinner, Shen Shen arranged to have us go over her place for dinner on the following Thursday and it turned out it was Nai nai's actual birthday. So we decided to turn it into a small birthday celebration. Papa bought a cake on his way home after work. Here are some pictures taken on Thursday. Papa and me sharing some moments together.

Papa and Mama thought it would be interesting to have me take a picture against the wall as I was wearing a yellow shirt that day. From that day onwards, I often asked Mama is the wall in Shu Shu's house is still yellow when we pass by his place on our way home from school. I had thought it was purple but after some time, the wall had turned to yellow! Mama tried to explain some renovations had been done but I was unable to understand what happened.

If Mama remembers correctly, the pictures below were all taken by me. This year, I wanted to take pictures and Nai nai didn't to pose with me.

Don't ask why Mama seems like she is the birthday girl, standing in front of the cake. It's a matter of perspective. I was actually standing next to Nai nai when I took the above picture. You can see her hand at the bottom left hand corner of the picture.

This one was taken years ago on Nai nai's birthday when I was younger. Then, I knew not what was happening. Now, I can easily belt out the birthday song in English, Mandarin and Malay, all thanks to my school. :)

The Icing on the Cake

Mama took a couple of videos clips featuring me at The Icing Room. Here's one she thought she can share.

My 4 and a half Years Old Birthday

On 18th September 2012, Tuesday, I turned exactly 4 and a half years old. Mama has been reading this blog of Aunty Cheyanne's friend who celebrates her daughters' birthday every 6 months and she decided to do something special for me on my 4.5 years old birthday.

On that day, Mama brought me to school in the morning as usual but she told Teacher Karen she will fetch me early that day as she wanted to take me out. So she came for me earlier some time before 3 pm. I was still taking my nap then and was woken up. See, this is me still sleepy....

Mama brought me for a snack and drink at Mac Donalds' at Causeway Point. She chose this place as she received a tipoff from Teacher Karen there is an Icing Room here. See, I am still kind of sleepy. Mama thought the toy from the happy meal is a nice one. She even guided me where to stick the labels on the toy car.

Still sleepy looking.....

What really woke me up is what we did at The Icing Room. For a small price of about $12, Mama got me a cake and I was allowed to choose some icing which I could put on the cake. Mama thought it will be quite fun for me and I did enjoy it except I probably did not quite know what I was doing.

Looks promising, right?

Ta-dah!! The above is the end product we brought home. Mama told herself she should not waste money on this again until I am much older. Papa said the cake has a nice taste and Mama has to agree. Perhaps, Mama should had asked Papa to do the icing part with me. He certainly has a better flair than Mama who more or less left me to my own devices.....

Starbucks

Dear all,
Mama has been working some of the times and lazy at other times. This explains why my blog has not been updated much. This is me at Starbucks at Liang Court, engrossed with my iPad game. I was not too interested in the drink Papa ordered nor the apple juice Mama got for me.

Mama has decided I am the type who eats to live and it's a waste of money to buy me good food. In fact, she probably buys this idea so much that when she was at a Japanese steamboat buffet recently, she ate all the wagyu beef slices on her own and offered me none! She only remembered she had not given me any beef the day after the meal or something. Sigh.
