No iPhone!

Today we decided not to bring down the iPhone. And the children left me alone! How nice. We'll never bring the phone again, if that's what it takes to stop them following us around and terrorizing me.

Then nana's mother brought her to the hairdresser and chopped off all that lovely hair. We couldn't stop giggling when we saw her. Her little friends are not going to recognize her tomorrow.

Giggles.

Our eyes

We saw a man in barely there gym shorts today. Downright obscene.

Sure grow bak zham.

That makes 140 coins!

Last night, ah bee dreamt that the government confiscated her $3,500 and gave her $7 in return. I think it must have been triggered by what the EU did to the poor Cypriots over the weekend. I told her, that's beyond absurd. The Singapore government won't do that; we're in great shape.

Nonetheless, she and fomfomfom counted out all the money in my shoebox and decided to buy 80 silver coins for me. Inflation hedge, they said.

I don't mind.

Overdue

They finally bathed me today. It has been 12 days.

Can't complain.

Case 39 and Cake Boss

We were channel-surfing coz there was nothing interesting to watch on the food channels, and we found a movie on the free-to-air channel that was just starting and starred Renee zellweger. How nice. Of course it turned out to be some supernatural horror show and we changed channels in a great hurry. We don't do horror shows.

I don't know why ah bee switched to Cake Boss. It's a bad tv day. I'm turning in.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

We met Sammy and Nana playing downstairs today and we asked Sammy to kiss Nana before we would give her the Iphone to play with. We were expecting Sammy to peck her on the cheek but no she does better. She grabbed Nana's face with both hands, puckered up and pulled Nana in for a kiss on the lips. It was spectacular.

A couple of minutes later, without cajoling on our part, Sammy decided to kiss Nana again. Except this time, she pulled Nana's face in and, we don't know, tried to eat Nana's nose.

And before we said our goodbyes, we asked Sammy to kiss Nana one last time. She reached out and held Nana's face for a while, before deciding to plant one on Nana's left eye.

Poor Nana we know.

We love these children.

My new toy

Ah bee is sniffling away and we thought we'd pump her full of garlic, vitamin c and zinc, Chinese herbal tea and she topped it all off with panadol flu medicine. We'll see how she fares tomorrow.

So, I have a new toy. It's what ah bee brought me from china. I don't know how to describe it, but fomfomfom says it looks like a devil thing and ah bee says it's a panda. Well, it's black and white in the right places, but I won't go so far as to call it a panda.

I can only agree with fomfomfom that it's really ugly.

Hogwash

They found 6600 dead pigs in the Huangpu river and since ah bee just came back from Shanghai, everyone has been asking her if she's down with food poisoning.

No food poisoning, she says, but I think I'm coming down with the flu.

Porcine flu alert!

Yes, I share my bottle

Oh wow. Ah ma cooked pig stomach for me today. I can't even remember the last time I had that delicacy; it has been that long. I was so eager to get at it, ah bee knocked my teeth with the porcelain bowl. Owtch. My teeth didn't fall out, though.

Downstairs, Samantha wanted to drink from my water bottle again. Only she decided not to drink the water. She let all the water dribble back into the bottle from her mouth. So I decided not to drink water this evening. Only ah bee was so parched she decided she'll just close her eyes and pinch her nose and drink that water. And when ah bee was still alive 3 seconds later, I thought I'll just have a bit of water too. I'm happy to report we're all still alive at bedtime.

Methinks Sammy needs a good kicking.

Bad bee

Ah bee came back from Shanghai and I was pleased to see her. Until I realised everyone was listening to her stupid stories and no one was paying me any attention.

Hmph.
