Mother vs Wife

Rara: Momi, I love my wife so much!
Momi: Really? What about Momi?
Rara: I love my wife more than you. * straight look on his face*
Momi: (naturally felt a tinge of jealousy welling...) What about Dadi?
Rara: I love my wife more than Momi and Dadi... *innocent look*
Momi: well.... (pinching his two cheeks) fine, but until you have a wife, you will love me the most. Ok? Deal?
Rara: Ok (nodded his head with pinched cheeks - Kawaii-neh)
*Hugs & kisses*

When I grow up...

Rara: When i grow up, I want to have my own family. I will have a good wife and 11 children, 6 girls and 5 boys. I will be a good father and I will not discipline my kid. When I am 40 yrs old, my wife is 28 and my kid will be 16....
Momi: Whoa, your wife is pretty young hor? You have a age difference of 12 years...
Rara: 28 is good.
Momi: Oh, ok.... but if your wife is 28, how can your kid be 16??? This means your wife will have the baby when she is 12 yrs old...
Rara: ...... (don't understand the implication).... but 16 yrs is good.... *puzzled look*
Momi: ok, never mind. But why do you want 11 kids? That's way too many....
Rara: 11 is a good number!
Momi: I suggest you have 1 kid first then decide whether you want to have another... Like Momi and Dadi. We had you and we decided 1 kid is good...
Rara: Cannot lah. I want 11 children... *determined look on face*
Momi: ok lah, up to you but I don't want to help you take care hor. You and your wife take care of your 11 children. Momi and Dadi are going to migrate to New Zealand and retire in peace.
Rara: Then I come over and visit you?
Momi: Sure, can.
Rara: But I will be a good daddy and I won't discipline my children. I won't cane them and I won't put them in cold shower.
Momi: But if your children are naughty, you have to discipline them so that they would learn to be good.
Rara: But I do not know how to discipline. You discipline for me?
Momi: No! They are your kids, you discipline yourself!
Rara: But I don't know how to.... *difficult look on his little face*
Momi: Parents have all rights to discipline their children. If you do not discipline them, they will not learn how to be good. Next time, if they get into big trouble, the Police will catch them and then put them in jail. Then, it would be too late.
Rara: But I do not know how to discipline. Maybe my wife can discipline the kids?
Momi: Momi also don't know how to discipline and I am learning along the way on how to discipline you. But you will learn it as you grow up and next time, you can discipline your own kids. Ok? We learn together?
Rara: Ok *smile*

I want to be a chocolate chef

Momi and I have recently started talking about life, about my future. I would tell her what I want to be when I grow up. I told her I want to be a boss, a "chocolate chef" cos Momi and I love chocolates and I want to make nice chocolates for my Momi.

Rara: Momi, next time I grow up, I will be a chocolate chef but I will not make Ferrero Rocce chocolates. I will make something special, like chocolate and jam, chocolate and kaya.
Momi: That's great! I love durian. Can I have chocolate & durian?
Rara: I don't like durian... it's yucks.... but I will make for you, ok???
Momi: Orhhh.... (so sweet!) *hugs & kisses*
Rara: Momi, I will be the boss ok? I will work 24 hours and earning 900 thousand dollars. My chocolate shop will be at Newton Square, basement 2. You can take the train from Clarke Quay to Dhoby Ghaut and take the North-South line to Newton.
Momi: Wow, really? But if you are the boss, you don't need to work 24 hours. You can employ people to work for you in shifts if you have huge orders for chocolate.
Rara: Cannot... I am the boss so I must work 24 hours. I am the chocolate chef. I also got another boss...
Momi: Huh? Another boss? Then who is the bigger boss?
Rara: He is 70 years old.
Momi: Really? How did you get to know him?
Rara: He also make chocolates. He is the older boss.
Momi: Did you learn to make chocolates from him.
Rara: Yes, he teach me.
Momi: Wow, then he is the master chocolate chef?
Rara: Yeah, the master. The best.

Happy NIU Year!!!

Gong Xi Gong Xi!!! It is another new Lunar Year. This year is the year of the Ox. It is my Daddy's year... yah, he slogs like an ox to provide for Momi and me. I wish him a good year ahead and hopefully, don't slog so much.

I hope to update you on my CNY happenings soon (provided Momi is free) :p

Ponyo

Momi and I love Ponyo, but we have not found the time to go and catch it.... hiaz... I figure by the time Momi could free up some time for the movie, it may just have been taken off from the cinemas....

Dadi was nice to go onto the internet to find the Ponyo song and download into Momi's handphone. Momi would play the song to entertain me before bedtime or in the train. Well, I kinda try to sing along, but faces difficulties cos it is in Japanese.... well, it is still loads of fun.

Don’t 开玩笑with me

Momi has been having fun teasing me. She knows I only eat the skins of foodstuff like 锅贴, gyoza, buns etc, and hand the meaty fillings to the adults. She will disturb to get my affirmation that I like the skin and then come with a rhyme which goes like this....

我吃包子, 你吃皮. (I nod my head)
我吃锅贴, 你吃皮. (I nod my head)
我吃水角, 你吃皮. (I nod my head)
我吃gyoza, 你吃皮. (I nod my head)
我吃香焦, 你吃皮.

The first few times she managed to con me into agreeing that I eat banana skin. After a couple of times, i did not fall prey to her little trick. Yah yah, everything she tries to do that to me, I will tell her "Don’t 开玩笑with me"!!! Haha!!! Yah, I will give her the angry and upset look cos I do not eat banana skin.

Guess what, the most irritating part is not the ending of the rhyme but the fact that she will do the rhyme in a fake ang moh accent lor. So irritating... :p Hiaz..... what to do, she likes to disturb me to see my reactions lor.... hiaz.... Don’t 开玩笑with me ah, Momi!!!!

Mr Tong

Momi has been so appalled by my huge appetite. I could eat my dinner at around 7pm or 7.30pm (standard serving consists of a small bowl of rice, 3-4 slices of fish, 2-3 pcs of toufu, 1 spoonful of veggie and 1 small bowl of soup) and then ask for supper at 9pm to 9.30pm. Supper must be at least 1 slice of bread and 1 cup of milk. Sometimes, I ask for 2 slices... If I do not get my desired serving, I will nag at Momi before bedtime. Something that goes along the line "I'm so poor thing... got nothing to eat", "So hungry, not enough for me... so poor thing"...

Momi says I made her out to be a mean mother who deprives her kid of food and she has crowned me the name of "Mr Tong" - "La Ji Tong". Everything I ask for snacks or food after my proper meals, I would get the title thrown on me....

Three's a crowd

I must agree with the saying that "3 is a crowd". The train bound for Punggol was jammed packed that evening. Only 1 lady was kind enough to give up her seat cos she was dropping off at the next stop (Dhoby Ghaut). Jovan, Fion and I tried to squeeze us into a pathetic seat. So cramped... in the end, the nice lady next to us offered Fion a seat on her lap. So lucky her, she got the most comfy seat. Haha!!! Once we were comfortably seated, the four of us (yes, plus the auntie) enjoyed a nice storybook.

Flexing Facial Muscles

A serial of candid shots where I flexed my facial muscles to give those ehhh... "weird looks" (according to Momi)... Last 3 shots at XJJ's ROM reception at Hilton Hotel. Yah yah, the place where I con him to part with $18 for 2 pieces of yummy cheesecakes. Hahaha!!! Think you should see my "Xi, Nu, Ai, Le" looks. It is ultimate. *wink*
