Breakfast at Kayne Jin's

I was invited to my friend Kayne Jin's house for breakfast today. Kayne Jin's mummy Aunty Pixim decided that the three boys who used to play a lot together when in Eton should get together again. Since I left for Pat's, I have not met them so Asher was also invited and it was really fun. While the mummies and daddies were having their breakfast, the three of us were just having lots of fun with the toys and running up and down the stairs. We were there for about 4 hours and it could have been longer if not for the fact that Kayne Jin's had to attend The Wiggles concert at MBS. I hope we get to do this again soon.

Asher's Birthday Party

We celebrated Asher's 1 year old birthday party today at Food for Thought at The Botanic Gardens. Cindy Yee Yee blocked off a part of the restaurant expecting about 40 adults and 10 children to attend. Unfortunately, some of Uncle Ivan's relatives came down with HFMD so couldn't make it. There were quite a lot of food for those who were there. I had fun at the playground with Zhe Zhe Faith and was drenched with my perspiration even before the party started. Happy Birthday Asher!

Down by The Bay

I learned a new song from school today. Apparently it is a very popular children's song but Mummy and Daddy doesn't seem to have heard of it before. Probably before their time I guess. Here is my version...

And here is the normal version. The lyrics goes like this...

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home

I dare not go

For if I do

My mother will say

"Did you ever see a bear

Combing his hair

Down by the bay"?

"Did you ever see a bee

With a sunburned knee

Down by the bay"?

"Did you ever see a moose

Kissing a goose

Down by the bay"?

"Did you ever see a whale

With a polka dot tail

Down by the bay"?

"Did you ever see a pig

Wearing a wig

Down by the bay"?

Happy Mother's Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I am at the drawing class today drawing a picture for Mummy. I know my Mummy looks a thousand times better than what I can draw but Mummy knows that I did it all by myself and it is my first drawing of her. I am sure with more practice, I will have a more accurate portrait of her soon. Mummy, I can be stubborn and mischievous at times, making you upset and even causing you to raise your voice at me sometimes when I know you hate that, but I want you to know that I love you and hope to be a good boy. Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Birthday Yi Sok

Yi Sok is back from Dubai for about 10 days and he planned it such that he is back on his birthday. We were very excited cos we will get to sing the birthday song and blow the candles and cut the cake. It was a pity Ye Ye was not back from Batam otherwise it would have been perfect.

Pat's Schoolhouse

After spending 20 months in Eton Schoolhouse, Mummy and Daddy decided that I should move to Pat's Schoolhouse. The main reason is because the curriculum there is more suitable for me as it will prepare me for the local primary school. Apparently Eton has many expat kids and the curriculum is more for children who will join the international schools or go back to their home country. The other reason is because the timing is more suitable for me as I will reach home at about 6pm which is not too early for Nai Nai. I will miss all my friends there in Eton especially Kayne Jin and Asher, 2 of my best friends. They call us the three musketeers of Eton. I will also miss my teachers especially Gu Lao Shi who cried when she heard that I was going to leave the school. I hope to visit them whenever I get a chance.

My new school as located at Meyer Road just behind Katong Park. The park is very big but apparently we don't get to go play there which is a pity. My new teacher is Ms Jessica and she looks quite nice. I hope I will adjust well to this new school. Will update more later.

Daddy and me.. Day 3

Today is the last of three days that Daddy will spend with me. Tomorrow Mummy will take over and spend the next 2 days with me.

Daddy was very exciting this morning as he told me to hurry up with my breakfast so that we could go get some food and head over to Botanic Gardens. We went to Shop and Save at Simpang Bedok and bought a loaf of bread to feed the fishes, 5 bottles of Yakult in case I am thirsty and some biscuits in case I am hungry. Daddy also brought along a mat for our little picnic if we are up to it. It was very crowded at the Botanic Gardens when we got there at about 10am. The sheltered car park was actually full and Daddy feared there could be some events there. Fortunately it was just the morning crowd and not really any events.








We took out the loaf of bread and started feeding the fish. There were many different types of fish in there but the Japanese Kois were the biggest. There were also lots of turtles and eventually even the pigeons came for the bread buffet. I had lots of fun feeding the animals and I asked Daddy to bring me back here again.








After feeding the animals, we decided to have our little picnic and Daddy took out his army poncho and we had our Yakult and biscuits. I got a little bored after a while and asked to go home. Daddy readily agreed cos I think he was feeling uncomfortable from the heat. As we walked passed the entrance, Daddy decided that maybe we should just have lunch at Cafe Verde before heading home. I had the kids combo which included spaghetti, chicken nuggets and fries. I didn't finish my food cos maybe I was feeling a little tired. Daddy had his beer to cool himself down.
