National Day is just round the corner and there is such a great sense of national celebratory mood going around that it is rubbing off onto me.
School has been playing the National Day songs to us every morning. I could sing along to "Singapura", "Stand up for Singapore" and "One People, One Nation, One Singapore". Oh boy!!! How I wish Dadi could have tickets for the actual day NDP celebration!!!
Momi actually managed to ballot successfully for one ticket for the NDP preview for today and Sharon Jie-Jie was supposed to let her have her ticket too so that we could all go for the NDP... Alas, but Dadi's leg is hurting again and I was having a diarrheao and tummyache. Tickets ended up with Auntie Nicole, but she din go either due to the bad weather?!!! So wasted man!!! I was thinking of asking her for the NDP fun pack some more.... tsk tsk tsk...
Anyway, when the fighter jets flew past Sengkang on their way to the parade area, they created such a loud noise that it startled me so much. For a split second, I was lost and did not know which direction to seek refuge. Momi was right behind in the kitchen, but I decided to run for the living room instead after pivoting to 3-4 directions on the spot. Haha!!! So pai-seh!!! I was displaying my instinctive behavior. Dadi told me that the fighter jets were responsible for making that loud sound which he called "SONIC BOOM"!!! Cool!!! I like that. I am not scared of the fighter jets anymore. I hope Dadi could get his hands on the actual NDP tickets so that I could have a better view of jets flying over our heads and creating that "SONIC BOOM" and the helicopter bearing the giantic Singapore flag!!!
Stand Up for Singapore!!!

Lynn-Gator
Sigh!!! I kena bitten by Lynn today after our afternoon nap. Well, I stepped on her bolster and it irritated her so much that she morphed into "Lynn-Gator" and took 2 chomps on my left hand!!! It was excruciating pain for me and I howled out loud. But that didn't stop the Lynn-Gator!!! She refused to release her bites until Ms Chng intervened. As usual, Lynn-Gator was taken away and placed on the "thinking chair" to reflect (mian bi si guo) on her bad behaviour, while I was given immediate treatment in the form of a cold compress to stop the bleeding and the swelling.
Of course I was mad lah!!! Lynn has been going around irritating everyone in the class. She would not share the toys and in fact, snatches from the rest of us. If she gets mad, she would either pinch or bite us. Since she joined the class more than a month ago, she has pinched almost everyone of us and bitten Lucas-Gor Gor, Esher, Atticus, Choelle and now, me!!!
I have been telling Momi that Lynn pinched me and I don't like her but she kept telling me to make friends with her. When Momi came down to pick me up in the evening, Ms Shi and Ms Chng told her that I kena bitten cos I "disturbed" her. Momi saw the 2 sets of teeth marks and were puzzled how come the school allowed it to happen. Anyway, I sort of complained to Momi by whining and pointing to the bites. When Lynn was pointed out as the culprit, it made me boiled again and I went up to shoved her in the stomach. Momi quickly stopped me and chided me for my action. But hor, she bit me first leh!!! :(
Momi made me apologised to Lynn which I simply refused. I went around the music room, saying "Sorry" to the chair, Lucas Gor-Gor, the teachers and the wall, but not Lynn... Momi was not pleased with my behaviour and put me in front of Lynn to say "Sorry". Sorry sorry lor, but I will make sure Lynn has no chance to take another chomp at me.
(Momi: Ms Chng feedback to me the next day that Ramerez refused to sleep next to Lynn during nap time).

My Flashy New Bike
Dadi and Momi went to Giant 2 months back and bought me a cool metallic blue & yellow BMX bike that was 12'' tall. Well... a little too tall for me, but as usual, my cheapo Momi said never mind cos I will grow taller and it would suit me just fine.
My cool bike inherited a bell from Dadi's old bike as he is too busy and too fat to go cycling nowadays. His old bike has retired to our bomb shelter-cum-storeroom. I hope my bike would not fall into the same fate. It is currently parked in the spare white room where I would occasionally bring it downstairs for a ride.
Haha!!! I can't quite pedal the bike yet. When I say "ride", I mean with Momi or Dadi pulling the bike along lah. I simply sat there and look shiok shiok lor. Yah lor, dun need to pedal at all and the bike would transport me to the playground downstairs. :p

Play Pretend
During the past week while I was recuperating at home under Momi’s attentive care, I got to participate in imaginative play with Momi. I loved to play pretend where I am either riding the MRT or driving a bus. I would rattle off the names of the MRT stations and their numbers as I move along the MRT route, opening and closing doors for passengers to board and alight. When I drove the bus, I would start the engine, drink some water and drive and stop in accordance to the traffic conditions by shouting out red man or green man. Momi and Dadi had been trying to correct me to use green light and red light when I am driving cos green and red man is for crossing the roads. Hee!!! Pai-seh, pai-seh!!! I will need to work this out.

One week's quarantine at home...
I have been having a cough for over a month. Went back to Dr Chee for review and he recommended that I be put on nebulisation twice a day for over 5 days to be fully cured of this bronchitis. Momi took one week’s leave to look after me to make sure that I recover fully. However leh, I still have an occasional cough every now and then.
The past one week was also a trying period for me and Momi cos we started on an intensive potty-training program. Momi put me on underwear for a good half of the day. Well, I have not quite figured out how to pee like a big boy and preferred to sit on the baby toilet seat. Of course, Momi had to entice me to do my business in the toilet with activities like playing around with soap and the toilet flush.
Oh, my poor old-fashioned blue potty can go for early retirement liao cos I absolutely hate to use it. In fact, I have no output when I sat on it. :p When Momi was not around to put me on the toilet-bowl, I would quietly let go and wet my pants and made such a mess. That freaked out Momi cos she had to clean up after me. The record highest load of laundry was 3 loads on Wednesday when I wetted 2 beds and changed 5 pairs of underwear/shorts. Momi almost wanted to give up on me and even contemplated letting me run butt-naked in the house.
Oh boy! I miss my school and my classmates so much. In fact, when Momi brought me into the school this morning, I went directly to the Music Room to look for my pal – Shameer. I was upset when Shameer was not in school today. Momi asked me to look for Esher and Esher was not in too??? What happen??? Boh-bian lor, I had to play with Alex and 2 older boys from the PN1 class.
Momi has been sick since last night and she would be going off to see another doc to get medicine and rest at home. She would be picking me up in the evening and she had promised me yummy mini-croissants. Yums!!! I hope the rest would do her good cos she really didn’t get much rest over the past one week.
