mummy's embarrassment

(We were going through the sounds of animals)
I: A horse neighs, a pig __ ?
R: A pig grunts, a snake hisses, a monkey chatters...
I: Whaa! Your memory is good!
R: (grinning with pride) ... and a mummy shouts!

eer..I don't shout all the time.
-----------------
Last Sunday, Rey was standing on a small stage with his classmates after a Chinese enrichment class. The teacher had gathered them to present to us what they have learnt in class.

Teacher：小朋友，现在我们用‘睡觉’来做造句。(Let's try using 'sleep' to make sentences.)
Friend ：我的妈妈最喜欢睡觉。(My mother enjoys sleeping)

Everyone laughs. My eyes widened when Rey raised his arm to answer with a cheeky smile directed at me. I knew at once he was going to say something bad.

Rey：我的妈妈睡觉打咕噜！(My mummy snores when she sleeps!)

(class ends. The receptionist smiled at me and commented," Your son revealed your secret!" Sigh, no use clarifying)

I: You so bad! Why did you say I snore when I don't?
Rey: Because I want to say something funny so everybody will laugh!
I: But you can don't say 妈妈。 爸爸or 爷爷 also can, right?
Rey: 妈妈 is the best! I want to make you embarrassed! whahaaha...

Chinese New Year

Japanese lesson

I think Rey will love watching this series and have a good laugh like I did.

desert

Can you spot Rey?

I don't know why he loves being in the water so much. To look at pretty legs? maybe...

leaking pipe?

I: Why do you keep forgetting what the teacher tell you to do?
R: You know, my brain is like a water pipe, but it is broken. So whatever the teacher tells me, the information will just flow away.
I: *too angry to say anything*

Water World

The bluish under-water photo looks 'Avatarish' to me.

I have introduced Rey to swimming since he was 1 year old. Now he enjoys being in the water more than out of water. After his swimming lesson, he'll spend the rest of the 2 hours leisurely, joining in Nana's synchronised swimming class and swimming in laps. His coach has mentioned Rey's stamina is boundless while Nana's coach lamented that it is a pity Rey is not a girl, if not he'll be scouted for the synchro team.

Jack's Place

Can you see one of Nana's creation?

Headaches, Stress, Lack of sleep

2010 came with a BiG BAnG for me. Rey's school has started and we rolled off with a new routine. Everything was supposed to be smooth-sailing but it turned out to be err...eventful.

Last week was unimaginable. He forgot to bring home his water-bottle twice, almost got off the bus without his bag, did not get off the bus (the bus just went away without dropping him) and the last straw was when the bus driver DID NOT even bring Rey home.

Now I just hope that I can stay sane beyond the second week.

School Uniform

Think Rey looks cool in his uniform?

Science Center

A documentary at the Omni Theater about 'Under the Sea'.

Nana, Rey and I took the bus to Science Center to see Bodyworlds. http://www.bodyworlds.com.sg/

It was a great chance for Rey to see the insides of the once-alive bodies of human volunteers, foetus specimens from early formation to full-grown babies and also giraffes and horses. Nothing disgusting about it when you know you're learning about science, biology and lifes.

Xmas'09

Rey was not too happy to be photographed with Santa Claus.

Reason? He has woken up find a pile of nicely wrapped up assessment books, given to him by 'Santa Claus'. Actually it was a trick played by me as he has not been doing his homework consistently nowadays.

talking feet

The other day Rey got a cut on his left foot. I swear, it's a cut that was healed in a day but he crippled his way for 4 days. He was so careful not to wet or touch the injured foot. But one day, he let out a thunderous "Arrgggggghh!!"

I: What happened?
Rey: Ouch!! I stepped on my foot accidentally!
And he limped his way and sat at a corner, examining the damage.
That's when I overheard something funny. He was doing this feet-puppets.
Rey: Right foot, say sorry to left foot.
Right Foot: Sorry!
Left Foot: Nevermind, it's okay...

Take flight on Trapeze!

Meredith, Nana and Rey did the trapeze at Sentosa after the wedding celebration. We changed from semi-formal to beach wear and got ready for wild experience.

Practice

1,2,3 Fly!

Chilling out

Japanese meal for dinner! (meredith's mum's treat for the whole family)

Treats!

Our extended family has been eating out for the past 3 days. And mind you, it's really good stuff we treat our stomachs.

Day 1 (Tian Xin for Tea)

Eating out with grandma, Cheltton's, Nana's and Meredith's family.

Day 2

Teochew dinner
Day 3 (Wedding Treat at Sentosa)

Cam-whoring

It's Rey 1st time drinking F&N orange. Can you believe it?

We have 3 generations here.

The Twilight Saga

4 books in 5 days!! Okay, I watched the 2 movies for this human-vampire-werewolf love triangle, despite my age (yah, not afraid to admit). The magic of the characters and storyline works for me, though the slow-paced details ate into my sleeping time (slept at 4:30am last night). My preferred partner? It'd be Edward Cullen the vampire for Book 1, but after Book 2, I really wished Bella would have ended up with Jacob Black the werewolf, for his warmth and easy-going character, not forgetting his ah-hem, body in the movie.

Iluma Mall

The longest escalator in Singapore

Rey completed his Chinese 3-Day Camp and presented a short skit using shadow puppet. He has a greater interest in Chinese now.

Maple Story, an online game for people of all ages. Restricted to 30 minutes of play only.

random photos

I have been quite busy all these while. Rarely staying at home for the whole day. Outings, writing resumes, going for interview, finding new swimming and yamaha classes for Rey and meeting friends. Yet, I'm looking forward to next week when Rey goes for his 3 Day Camps with my good friend's guidance since I will be able to find time to watch the movies of the year, New Moon and 2012!
