Ai Ai (A): Mommy, when can I wear high heel shoes?
Me (M): When you're older.
A: When I am 19 years old?
M: Yes.
A: Or maybe when I am 30 years old.
M: That sounds better.
A week later, she seemed to realise that 30 years old way too long a wait compared to when she is 19.
A: Mommy, when can I wear high heel shoes?
M: When you are 30.
A: 30 is a long time. How about 19?
M: OK.
I then reminded her of how Natalie Portman's toes turned black in the movie Black Swan. I had told her it was because the "auntie" in the movie wore high heel shoes at too young an age :P

S cycling for the first time without trainer wheels
We bought her a bicycle without trainer wheels on 24 February, and here she is, cycling all by herself just a week later on 3 March.
You heard the scream :)
No she didn't fall... just screaming cos she was about to hit the pillar and doesn't how to brake yet.
Did you also hear the Nazi mommy shouting a command "Move it" at the beginning? :P

Update 2: S is finally learning to like Lego!
This was what S built.
Mommy is the "shorter" one as she is carrying S.

Update 1: Painting 5 December 2010
These are some of the long overdue updates.
I'm not going to cheat by backdating my posts, so I'll just title them "Update XX".
Bear with me as they will be in random order as and when I find any good pictures!
And the updates will probably be over the next few days (or weeks!) as I struggle with synchronizing my portable harddisk and laptop which has just been returned from servicing.

An oblivious S - she loves to do palm and feet painting too

What's the reason?
I've been totally uninspired to post anything.
I'm not sure why.
Maybe it's because I am too tired after my helper has left.
Maybe it's because I am too tired looking after 2 sick kids for the last one month.
It's probably a bit of both the above reasons, but to my good friend who knows the last reason, shhhhhhhhhhhh :P
I'll start updating this blog soon!

A mantra to live by
An old friend sent me this mantra after I had my shingles outbreak this week.
"Is there a solution to your problems?
If there is, why worry?
If there isn't, then there is no use worrying too."
Another old friend whom I haven't met for 10 years commented that that is very me.
But he does not know the me now.
I need to look at things from a different perspective.
No one can be a perfect mom.
I need to return to the old me 10 years ago.
The me that lived by this mantra.

Passport Pictures!
You cannot believe how many pictures of Ai Ai I took for her passport!
51! Yes, 51 of these mugshots and she still refuses to cooperate and look into the camera properly!
Some of Ai Ai's 51 mugshots - cheeky monkey!
Her final passport picture which I spent $15 on!
David's was a lot easier - about 10 and we got 1 right

Update...
So I have not been updating for a long time...
Been busy with the most recent move, and we've finally settled down!
Ai Ai has just started her ballet lesson.
After her first lesson, she told me all ballerinas have big tummies.
Me: All your friends have tummies?
Ai Ai: Yes.
Me: What about your teacher?
Ai Ai, thinking a while: Yes (cheekily!)

My Kek Kek is a proficient crawler
He is so fast that I could not catch up with him crawling on my boney knees... it hurts!
And he's putting everything in his mouth!

My little girl has grown up
Her previous version of a wedding was to walk in Thomson Plaza with an ice-cream.
Now it's almost the real stuff.
Ai Ai: Mommy, look at my long dress. I'm getting married.
Me: Where are you getting married?
Ai Ai: Chinatown.
Me: What will you hold in your hands?
Ai Ai: Flowers.
Ai Ai: But I am tired. I want to sit down.
Me: Why are you tired?
Ai Ai: Because I am sad.
Me: Why are you sad?
Ai Ai: Because I lost my prince.
I feel sorry for her.
Our move and some friends' moves must have been quite traumatic for a little tod.
We moved to a new place where she didn't have any playmates.
Auntie Cindy and family moved to Los Angeles.
Auntie Mel and family moved to Hong Kong.
Auntie Vikki and family moved the the eastern part of Singapore.
I hope she wouldn't grow up to be a loner.
