Kid's Kampong

Mummy is away in Bangkok with Aunty Sue this weekend so I got to spend the whole weekend with Daddy. Unfortunately I fell ill and was down with a high fever. We spend most part of Saturday morning at home resting as Daddy wanted me to get well soon. However, seeing that I was getting better, he decided to treat me to some longkang fishing at Pasir Ris to cheer me up.

We have never been here before and it was quite nostalgic for Daddy to drive there as Great Grandparents use to live at Pasir Ris and he spent quite a bit of time there when they were around. We found Kid's Kampong nestled in one of the farmways of Pasir Ris. It was surprisingly very quite for a Saturday afternoon and we had the whole longkang almost to ourselves. I didn't really catch any fish as they were too fast for me. Daddy caught about 5 fishes to humor me but I surprised him when i insisted that we let all of them go.

Besides longkang fishing, there was also a feeding area with many different sorts of farm animals and fishes. I think I spent the most time here feeding Japanese kois, rabbits, chickens, ducks and even turtles.

After all the fishing and feeding, it was time for me to get a treat and Daddy started with a cup of ice cream. I finished almost the whole cup myself and only offered a spoonful to Daddy. We also drove to the children's playground at Pasir Ris beach where Daddy used to play at when he visits great grandparents. It was a very big park and a lot more children here than at the Kids's Kampong. It was fun.

SAM Art Garden 2012

Today is a special day. It is a weekday but I got to leave school after lunch and spent the rest of the day with Andrea, Mummy and Daddy. Nai Nai and Ye Ye left for Genting this morning together with Gu Zhe and her whole family so there is no one to look after Andrea. Ended up Mummy and Daddy took leave to spend time with us.

We started with the Singapore Art Museum as they are having their annual children's exhibition. Mummy and Daddy brought me here last year but it seems it was more fun last year. Nonetheless, I got to watch a short cartoon about this boy and his new found friend, a penguin. Emo as I was, I ended up crying near the end of the show because the boy had to part with the penguin. But like all cartoons, there was a happy ending and the boy and his friend were reunited and they live happily ever after.

After SAM, we popped by to Food for Thought for something to eat as it was still too early to go home. Daddy gave me his ice cream from his root bear float and it was yummy. I also had fries but as it was rosemary flavored, I didn't quite like it.

On the way home, we stopped by Cold Storage and bought some grocery for tonight's dinner as Mummy will be preparing dinner. And while Mummy was preparing dinner, Daddy and I got to swim for a while and that was just awesome. It was a fun day and I enjoyed it.

Charlie & Lola

Daddy came to get me from school today because we were going for a play at the DBS Arts Centre. Charlie & Lola had great reviews from UK so Mummy got 2 tickets for a father and son bonding session.

The play was about Lola being a naughty sister and how Charlie had to help her get rid of some bad habits like not tidying up her bedroom and refusing to sleep at night. There was quite a bit of talking during the play and some kids were getting restless and we could hear them talking. Daddy wasn't very impressed with the play and didn't think they deserve all those rave reviews. We had fun nonetheless.

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!
