School Performance

Our daily practices culminated in an entertaining little performance for out parents on Parents' Day in school.

Mummy couldnt really get nice pics of me cos i was standing way behind and blocked by all my classmates during the song and dance item.

Singing and dancing along to a remixed and reworded Grease hit

And to Mummy's great consternation, here i am not really doing my moves during the grand finale, but rather, monkeying around with my self proclaimed boyfriend.

(You can read more about him in Mummy's blog here)

Mummy: Watch this and cringe when ure all grown up! ;)

Xmas comes early!

Xmas came early to my school! Everyone was supposed to prepare a gift for exchange and also contribute some food for the party.
I could hardly wait to get out of the house and off to school that day!

Here i am with Mummy's cupcakes in Chrismassy colors!

A snowman comes alive on my arm!

Ooh Jie Jie is gatecrashing again!!

Matching snowmen

Sinful crunchy party grub - Yum!

Look at the spread we had!

And to top it all off, bouncing on Santa's lap

What fun!

School Concert

Today is the day of my school concert and boy am i excited! My whole family was going to be there to watch, including YiYi!

Getting into class early to get my hair done

Mummy helping my friends and I do our makeup again

Voila, im ready!

Thank you Mummy!

Posing with yet another one of my boyfriends...Yiyi says he looks like a gangsta...bleah

And then we were all set to go! Here's my family waiting in anticipation to watch me in action!

I was one of the emcees that day, here we are giving a brief intro to our item.

Very pro eh? And i got my lines all nailed!!

No slip ups even though it was all in MANDARIN!

And here's our item - "Qing Qing Ting"!

My friends watching me sing

And then, a little booboo!

The song was supposed to be over but i went to the corner to pose, as per my earlier moves

Here are 2 of my friends rushing over to drag me back to the center...heheh...

After a few other performances in between, i was up for my 2nd item

Alas, i had a wedgie and i kept doing this throughout the entire 5min segment.

Looks uncannily like a Michael Jackson pose

But it sure as hell didnt look as glamorous to mummy when i was on stage!

I even picked my nose in front of the entire audience

Mummy wanted to die from embarrassment!

After almost 3 hours, the concert was finally over.

Phew! now can we go get some food??

Hope you all enjoyed the show and pardon me for my little oversight in decorum!

Full Dress Rehearsal

Its the day of my full dress rehesarsal!! Im so excited!

Mummy was putting on light makeup for me in the morning, and look who is muscling in on the action?

Baby...makeup is for girls...tsk tsk...

When we arrived at school, Ma Lao Shi asked mummy if she could kindly help out with the makeup of my little friends, and she gladly obliged.

Ma Lao Shi busy with my hair, she had this really cool contraption that could simulate a chic bun even for short haired girls like me!

*unabashed* Dont i look pretty? Hehe...

The boys with their snazzy kungfu like garb

Apparently the boy in the middle is my so called boyfriend, Mummy's very tickled that i chose him to be my "best friend" when Ma Lao Shi did a project with us on that topic

Mummy: Not a bad choice baby, that little chap is very handsome, but i dont think ill be so enamoured with any of your choice of guys when you're all of 16! haha...

While mummy was busy with my friends, baby wasted no time in mingling with all the Jie Jies and Kor Kors...

...who found him irresistably cute!

Mummy, can u take him home now? He's kinda stealing my thunder...

My group with our guest "mascot"

Deepavali in school

Here i am, all decked out in the traditional indian garb, all ready to celebrate Deepavali in school!

Not wanting to get my hands dirty as usual

My teacher made henna drawings on our arms

Dont i look suave as a little indian boy?

Jie Jie was back from her celebrations in school too, and we had fun posing for pics together at home. Doesnt Jie Jie look adorable in her indian dress too? Hehe...

Stop wriggling baby!

Cheese!

Happy Deepavali everyone!

VJC ODAC Reunion

Mummy and Daddy brought us back to their JC for their ODAC reunion. Their school is very special to them, cos that's where they met! They even took their wedding pics there!

Where it all began

They then took us on a tour of the school compound and we loved the surroundings! Maybe in 13 years time i will be a student here too!

Loving the cool sea breeze blowing through the compound

Errrr baby, that aint a very manly pose...

We saw many rope structures that Mummy and Daddy helped build once upon a long long time ago...

Here i am atop one!

Mummy with a couple of her JC cronies

Daddy...being silly Daddy as usual...

We even explored the tree house!

Baby was a little scared at 1st

But soon he was trotting merrily behind me on the rope bridge!

And here we are taking a nice stroll around the campfire, to the delight of the other ODAC alumni

It just occured to Daddy and Mummy that if i really were to get into this school and join ODAC, i would be in the 40th batch! Whoa!

They were in the 10th batch by the way...haha...how ancient...

HFMD again!!

Daddy left on a biz trip last night and i cried buckets as he left the house. I was so upset that i couldnt stop wailing and even cried myself to sleep.

This morning, i woke up complaining of dizziness and even vomitted once. Mummy thought i simply had a rough night and even tried to cajole me to go to school (?!!)

She finally relented when i vomitted again and started to develop a fever. I also could not stomach anything, which was RARE as i usually had milk and cornflakes, followed by bread and cheese or bananas or wathever i could lay my hands on...for breakfast.

And so we set off for the doctor's all the same, just to get me checked out. Mummy didnt think it was anything serious though, probably just a minor stomach bug that would clear within a day or so.

After a check by the doctor, i was diagnosed to be suffering from a viral infection and i was to be given some med and ordered lotsa rest. However while we were waiting for my medicine, Mummy noticed some red spots on my hands and feet.

Her worst fears were confirmed when a 2nd check by the doctor verified that i had contracted the dreaded HFMD.

What?? HFMD again?! But but what about my Children's Day Carnival in school tomorrow??

I could literally see alarm bells ringing in Mummy's head, cos the last time i was down with HFMD, things were really bad. I couldnt eat anything at all (Mummy had to freeze sugar cane juice for me to suck), had a raging fever that wouldnt abate and basically cried hysterically almost the entire day. (I was only 18mths old then)

What more so now that there's Baby in the house, im sure she was terribly afraid that i would have had already infected him with it.

Once we reached home, i was isolated in Mummy's room and Baby was confined downstairs. Over the next 4 days, i spent all my time within these 4 walls, and i almost went out of my mind.

Bored out of my skull

Thankfully, my fever subsided within a day and my voracious appetite was back to normal by nightfall.

I was begging Mummy to let me go to school the next day cos there was a huge carnival planned for us but she kept saying that i was still unwell and that i would pass the germs to my friends.

But i feel ok!! I could eat and sleep and the 2 puny ulcers in my mouth didnt bother me at all.

Alas, Mummy wouldnt waver and so i was imprisoned in her room for the next few days, even though i felt perfectly fine. The only signs of HFMD were faint spots on my feet and one spot on my hand.

I was sooooo disappointed to miss the carnival in school. Hmph!

Mummy thought the worst was over on the 5th day and i was allowed back downstairs. However, that day Baby Bone came down with a high fever.

Sigh...so i did infect him after all.

So much for imprisoning me!!!

Here he is at the doc's office

End of term party

Its the end of the school term and we're having a party to celebrate!

Here I am, getting my hand painted

And also my face!

I loved it so much that i kept looking at myself in the mirror and laughing

Little doggy eating his party grub

oh oh! Look who's gatecrashing my party!?
