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*

I love "my beauty"

I love "my beauty" (wo-de-mei-ren, aka watermelon) so much that I uses 2 forks to polish off the watermelon cubes from my plate. Thanks, Momi for buying Dadi and I a nice dinner at Akashi. Yums!

Ah Ming Eats Apple

Did I tell you how much I love my apples, especially the apple skin???? Kekeke!!! Auntie HS bought cherry apples for Lucas and me and I absolutely love them. Kept asking Momi to buy cherry apples for me cos they are small, handy (easy for my little hands). I will simply gnaw away the skin and pass the apple back to Momi to finish off the flesh. Yah, u can call me a manual "apple peeler". Hahaha!!!


Sitting like an Ah Ming to enjoy my cherry apple in the school...


Emmm... it's good!!!


Momi, you want some? Let me finish the skin and then pass to you, ok?! *so thoughtful look*


Continue to munch like a hamster.....

Taking off my shoes....
Taking my first few steps on the prickly grass... *ticklish*
Picked a spot on the top of a slope... ready to run down the slope....
1/3 down the slope....
Not enough fun. Back at the top of the slope for round 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and.....


Hei hei hei!!! Got the cheeky look on my face. Hee! Up to some cheeky business again...




Ah-bah then?! Run into the water ultimately on the pretext of washing my feet and subsequently refusing to get out (well, as usual lah...)

Kungfu Panda!!! Hee Yak!!!

While the whole world (it seems) is flocking to watch Barney live somewhere on the island, Momi and Dadi decided that it would be more entertaining (well, overall scoring for 2 adults and 1 kid) to go catch Kungfu Panda instead. Not that I did not bug Momi for the Barney show. I did, whenever the Barney commercial flashed across the TV screen. My folks just figured that it was not worth the money to pay for non-entertainment to them. :p

Kungfu Panda was an entertaining movie. Well, at least I could understand part of it. The panda was a jolly round fellow and pulled out a couple of silly stunts. Well, I actually like the Shifu and Wugui better. The best deal of the day was that Po actually turned up in person at the VivoCity cinema to grace the 1st day of screening. Momi and I took pictures with him and I took the opportunity to scratch his round tummy a bit. Of course, I was generous and extend an invitation to him to come home with me and sleep over in my room. *wink*


Momi has promised that my next movie would be Madagascar 2 cos there is my favourite zebra and giraffe. Yeah!!! I like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it. *swing to the groove*

人小鬼大

Mother and Son walked past a bridal boutique, displaying some bridal gowns.
Momi: Wah! These gowns are so pretty! How Momi wish I could wear them!!!
Rara: You cannot wear sexy sexy!
Momi: Why??? (Thinking the kid is going to say Momi is fat or something like that.)
Rara: Wait you wear sexy sexy, I laugh at you how?
Momi: ??????


Momi cooking dinner and Ra playing with magnetic letters on the fridge door.
Rara: Dadi is going to marry another woman.
Momi: Huh?! Why??? You want to have an evil step-mother to "look after" you meh?
Rara: No lah! Dadi marry another woman, then you can marry me mah!
Momi: But I am married to your Dadi. I am his wife and you are my son. I cannot marry you leh!
Rara: No! I want you to marry me!!!

Momi and Ra doing the usual bedtime chat.
Rara: Momi, how old are you?
Momi: 33
Rara: Too old....
Momi: Why?
Rara: Too old lah! 33!!! 31 or 32 is good.
Momi: But I cannot help it. I get older by 1 year as the year passes by.
Rara: No! You cannot get too old.
Momi: Then how to stop getting old?
Rara: You don't celebrate birthday lah. Don't buy birthday cake and don't blow out candles. No birthday then you can stay as 31. 33 too old.... (thoughful look on his little face)

Momi and Ra doing role-play. Ra is Dr Ong, Momi is the first patient of the day.
Rara: Welcome to my clinic. You are the first patient of the day. I am a good, friendly doctor.
Momi: Oh. Ok, thank you. I just need a check-up
Went through the process of checking Momi's heart-beat, lungs, body temperature, throat and eyes etc.
Momi: Doctor, do you give out sweets and biscuits like Dr Chee does? (referring to his Paeditrician)
Rara: Erh... No. This clinic is for animals. (with a straight face)
Momi: (gasped) huh?! I am not an animal! I dun want to see a vet!!!!
Rara: No lah! Ehhh, I don't have biscuits, but I have many pictures of animals.
Momi: -_-!!!

A song to touch your heart...

"Sunshine and love be with you
In rainy days I shall be with you
Love is no fool
Dreams come true
I'll always be with you..."

Haha! This song was drummed into me when I caught the 7pm hongkong drama about "Ah Wang". So, I simply sang out this when I was playing by myself at home on Saturday. Momi overhead me and quietly listened and was pleasantly surprised that I could belt out the words quite clearly. Haha!!! I got a good round of applause and gamely belt out round 2. Hope this song touches your heart too. :)

Muahahaha!!!!

Miss me? Here's a photo of me donning the fireman helmet when I visited the Yishun Fire Station. Will upload more pictures when Momi is free, ok? Bye!

My long break

Hi, folks. Did u miss me? I have been on a long long break and been away from school for almost 4 weeks. Nah, not kena HFMD lah. Was done with bad bout of flu 2 weeks before my scheduled surgery and doc told Momi to keep me away from school so that I do not catch any nasty viruses. Then on 28 Apr, I went for my surgery to remove my cataract....

I am currently resting at home with Dadi and Momi cos I am required to wear an eye shield to protect my eye and to administer eye drops every 2-3 hours intervals so that I do not catch any infections. Well, I am recovering slowly amist restrictions such as no jumping, no skipping, no bending over, no rough play, no rubbing of eyes and no crying (esp after eye drop is administered). Oh! And no swimming in 6 weeks' time.

Well, I will be going back for my 3rd review tomorrow. Keep u guys posted. Adieu!

Wedding News

Pssst... Heard that XJ and XJJJ are going to ROM in early July and throw a big wedding dinner in early Sep. My job? Haha!!! Pageboy of course lah! I am the only nephew leh. Hope XJJJ can get a hot babe to be the flower-girl. Not pretty huh, I will not hold her hand one.....Muahahaha!!!

My Very Own DIY T-shirt

Spent my afternoon bonding with Momi dearest by adding design to my old white T-shirt. Momi wrote my name in black at the back of my T-shirt and asked me for my favourite number. I told her "46" and requested it to be in purple ink. Tadah!!! Here is my T-shirt, as seen from the back. Momi added a shiny star as I am the star mah! I added the finishing touch by printing little red hearts at the bottom of the number 46.

If you pay enough attention, you will see that there is a brown smiley face on my left sleeve and a bright ble seahorse on my right sleeve. At the front of my T-shirt, my little red bear was allowed to remain intact, but I added some details at the bottom of the T-shirt by printing little hearts, spirals, flowers and dolphins in cheery pink, orange, blue and green. *wink*

That's me donning my DIY T-shirt. Hee! I love it. Must bring it to school to Show-&-Tell tomorrow. Ms Begum said she will be displaying our DIY T-shirts in class. Can't wait to see what my chums have come up with.

Hee! Posing for a shot with my personal photographer after the photo shoot.

Love Song for Momi and Dadi

Learnt a new song from Ms Begum and decided to surprise Momi by belting out the following:
"Mommy, Mommy. I love you.
You know that I really do.
And I know you love me too.
So I sing this song for you".

Haha! You should have seen the look of awe and surprise on her look. Hee! She was so happy that she appeared to be on the brink of weeping with joy. * Halo appeared over my head*

My reward? A nice big hug and a praise on "great song!" for me. Yap, a perfect rendition with precise lyrics and pronounciation. No mishaps about that.

Then, Momi asked "What about Dadi?" and asked me to sing the song for Dadi. Piece of cake, man! I just switched lyrics to
"Daddy. Daddy. I love you.
You know that I really do.
And I know you love me too.
So I sing this song for you".

Haha, then the song was extended to Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Baby (referring to my good self), Gong Gong, Po Po, DJJ, XJJ and XJJJ.
