Ming Ming’s Diary – I Dream a Dream

Ming Ming’s Diary – I Dream a Dream

IMG_5790.PNG

I dreamt that I had a dream. Woo hoo! Sounds so poetic!! I should have it trademarked!!

What?? I can’t? It’s already the name of a song in a musical?? Aww!! Who stole my idea???

Anyway, I had a happy dream! I dreamt that I was surrounded by a bevy of pretty pretty little girls. One was fanning me with a peacock fan. One was feeding me with a milk bottle. Another one was spooning apple purée into my mouth.

Waaa!! So blissful!! I was so happy that I started laughing HAHAHA!!

And started munching all the yummy food!!

My best dream ever!! Every baby boy’s favourite wet dream!

What?? I’m still sleeping!? Does this mean that I’m dream-writing my blog?? Gosh! I discover new skills I possess every new day.

I’m quite a boy wonder, eh???

Ok… Going back to my dream. HEHEHEHE!!

Ming Ming’s Diary – It’s Story Time!

Ming Ming’s Diary – It’s Story Time!

Hello everybody! Today I’m going to read you a book.

When you read you must sit up straight. Just like me. Let me show you my side profile. Yes, straight like me!

IMG_5776.PNG

Everybody, read after me. Say good night!

IMG_5777.PNG

That’s right. After you say good night, you sleep.

Why am I wearing a bib when I sleep? Hmmm good question! You see, sometimes I dream of yummy things, so I need to be ready to eat them up anytime, anywhere! That’s it!! Yes! For dreamy yummy things!! Nom Nom Nom.

What do you mean I drool when I sleep. No way! Cute babies don’t drool. Only doggies drool. Do I look like a puppy to you?? ?

Hey stop interrupting my story telling! Now where was I?

Now read after me, the little boy jumped up and down in the mud. Hop hop hop.

Like this!!! Fast hopping like me!! So fast that I’m a blur!! Faster than superman!! I’m super baby!!!

HEHEHE!

What? Energizer bunny? I’m no bunny. I’m superbaby!!!

I bet you can’t hop as fast as I can!!

Ming Ming’s Diary – Mama Can You Buy Me a Phone Pulease?!

Ming Ming’s Diary – Mama Can You Buy Me a Phone Pulease?!

IMG_5773.PNG

Have you missed me??? I was so sick sick sick yesterday. I thought that I was getting better but apparently yesterday was the turning point – downwards.

It hit me so fast and furious that I was k.o. My nose was dripping so much that I blew some bubbles with my nose!

No photo? Ya… Mama was out working so no phone = no photo. I was pretty impressed with my bubble blowing nose sigh..!!

I should ask Mama to get me a phone so that I don’t have to hunt for a phone in the house to take photos!!

IMG_5774.PNG

Mama can you buy me a phone pulease?!!

Do you think it’ll work?? My Jie Jie does this all the time. But it’s on Papa though… I wonder if it’ll work on Mama??

But she has bigger eyes than me, double eyelids, thick curly eyelashes and I don’t!!! Why don’t I have double eyelids??? So unfair!

In one of the fashion magazines that I read (I read magazines during lunch time. Of course I can read!! Check out my photos!!), I can perm my eyelashes.

And it also says that I can fly to Korea and get a double eyelid over lunch. Cool dude!!

Then I can join that Korean competition and make a video that says, “I’m proud to be a Singaporean!!”

Huh? If I save up all the money without eyelash perming and double lidding in Korea I’ll have enough for a smart phone or camera??

Hmm… You do have a point there…

Ok lor… I’ll continue to scavage for phones on the floors. Beggars can’t be choosers. ?

IMG_5775.PNG

What am I doing??? Guessss…

I’m catching my mucus in my cup so that it doesn’t drip onto the floor.

HEHEHEHE! Got cha!!! Of course not? Do I look like such a disgusting baby??? *brilliant smile*

I was only drinking my water. Replenishing water loss from my nose. ?

Ming Ming’s Diary – It’s Selfie Time!

IMG_5735.PNG

Hey! Whose big fat trotter is that??

Oh.. It’s mine. ☺️ I’m still not very good with taking selfies yet. I need more practice…

I must remember not to put my hand in front of the camera while I’m taking photos…

IMG_5736.PNG

Oops!! Almost there! *mutter*

Stupid hand. Ming ming, aim properly.

Why are you sniggering?? I’m referring to my camera aiming. And NotWhatchaThinkingOf!! My aim in that area is flawless! I always managed to shoot myself in my face with my own pee.

But I heard that pee is not good for complexion so I stopped doing it.

IMG_5737.PNG

Finally!!! I managed to fit my fat face into the view. Butter fingers I have…

HeHehehehehe!

IMG_5738.PNG

There! Selfie 201. More advanced module. It is soooo amateurish to take selfies, looking directly at the camera.

It’s an art to do it au naturale. Look away, look stylo, look vogue.

There! Stylo is my middle name. That makes me Ming Stylo Ming. MSM!

Not MainStream Media!! Sigh! Noobs! It’s Ming Stylo Ming! What? Same acronym as Mainstream Media?? Tell them to change the acronym. It’ll henceforth be known as MM!! Ok!

I must go and trademark MSM.

IMG_5739.PNG

There! Another supermodel pose!

IMG_5740.PNG

Hmmm… I should send some of these to Elite model. I look so yummy.

How about this one? The looking down, shy, boy-next-door look?? The kind that girls want to bring home to show their moms??

IMG_5741.PNG

This one too??? Reaching up for the sky! Wow! I’m quite poetic, aren’t I?

I should just send them all in. So that they can see me from all angles. I’m after all a very versatile model.

Whhaaattt? Send them my nude photos too??? So that they can pitch me for Calvin Klein diaperwear??

Hmm… Worth considering, my Mama can save a lot of money from that. Maybe she can send me to Stanford with the money she saves? Yes? No?

IMG_5742.PNG

How about this one?? It’s an old photo of me. Stylo Milo Ming.
Mama said that I looked like Leon Lai in that old hk Sam Seng drama (whatever that means?!)

IMG_5743.PNG

Ah! A half nude one!! For my Calvin Klein Diaperwear! This one it shall be.

Huh? Full nude?! Cannot lar. It’s like playing cards. You can’t show hand. Or there’s no value left.

Just use your imagination! With all the yoga that I do, I’ve a killer body!

Ming Ming’s Diary – It’s All About Shaving!

Ming Ming’s Diary – It’s All About Shaving!

IMG_5729.PNG

I love it when my Mama puts me to bed. She hugs me and whispers to me “I love you Ming Ming!” Then she nuzzles my hair and kisses my forehead. ???

My Papa said, “Orh! That’s how you do it!! I’ll do the same thing!”

Sigh! That’s where the problem starts. My Papa doesn’t like to shave on weekends. When he nuzzles me, I feel like he’s trying to exfoliate my face. I told him, “nooo! I don’t need exfoliation!!” And he thinks I’m enjoying it. And nuzzles more!! ? Someone, save me!!!

IMG_5726-0.PNG

Oh yes! I look like a rock star. But even rock stars have to eat!

Hey! I heard you! What do you mean by 现在一条龙,等一下变成虫?! I ain’t no earthworm!! ???

IMG_5727.PNG

You are just plain jealous that I’ve a cute babe combing my hair for me.

IMG_5728.PNG

Huh?? You want her phone number?? Can.. That depends on how nice you are to me… Queue to jb already.

Why is everyone trying to bribe me with milk. I’m already eating purée.

My favourite?? Apple purée!! No apple no number!!

2 Ingredients Gluten free pancake

2 Ingredients Gluten free pancake

Oh great!! I ran out of gluten free pancake mix and the brand I usually use was out of stock on Iherb! After discovering Iherb I simply refused buy the gluten free or organic stuff from local shops anymore! It’s about 30% cheaper on Iherb, including shipping fees! I think I’ll write about Iherb when I’m free!

Anyway, I remembered vaguely that my cousin posted a link in our whatsapp group on some healthy easy-to-do recipes.

Ok… Time to test the pancake recipe. I was pretty skeptical about it because it only had 2 ingredients. Ya… Only 2… And you can find them in everybody’s home. Well… Almost! Maybe 90% of the people have them at home.

Easy peasy. Just egg and banana!!! Huh!! Do I hear you say “huh?!” My reaction exactly when I saw the recipe.

Aiya.. Even if 宝贝 doesn’t want to eat it, I will. I love bananas!

So the proportion is 1 banana (the big one. I use 2 small ones sometimes) : 1 egg

Mash up the banana. Add the egg. Beat them together. Drop a dollop of the mixture on a pan. Make sure your pan is not too hot. The banana burns easily. Once it solidifies, flip it over.

IMG_5287.JPG

Ta-da!! Here they are!! Not scoring high in the looks department but they certainly were yummy!!

These were the 2nd batch of my 1st attempt. The 1st batch ended up in my tummy. Too ugly to be seen! It took a few tries to get them reasonably decent looking. ?

But hey! They are gluten free, yummy and easy to make if I run out of breakfast food to serve up.

Have fun!

Finally got around to updating the recipe. The batter was too soft with just 2 ingredients and I had a hard time flipping them. I tweaked it a little by adding some coconut flour.

1 big banana (or 2 small ones)

1 egg

1 tablespoon coconut flour

小小宝贝’s bedtime story

小小宝贝’s bedtime story

This feels like a déjà vu. When 宝贝 was around her brother’s age, we used to have bedtime talks. But nothing as violent as sumo wrestling, just pure talking.

Now it’s 小小宝贝’s turn. My children are all born chatter boxes. They started talking before they could walk.

We just started putting both of them to bed in the same room. Whilst 宝贝 is a wonderful sleeper (thank goodness!) who doesn’t wake up unless there’s an earthquake, 小小宝贝 doesn’t go to bed on time, gets up early and hates to sleep unless he’s forced to bed.

宝贝 has already fallen asleep. I was pretending to be asleep. 小小宝贝 was lying on his bed with his sister’s rabbit soft toy (named zhashi) which he has abducted and proclaimed that it’s his henceforth.

Deciding that he’s bored and not the least bit sleepy, he suddenly sat up with the rabbit in his arm.

“Zhashi is climbing up. Window is dirty. Zhashi clean window.”

I peeped at him discreetly.

The rascal was standing on his toes with his bunny at the window grills. He’s staging a “play” which revolved around a rabbit cleaner. ?

“Zhashi climbed high high. Aiyo! Zhashi fell down. Zhashi is pain pain.”

Then I heard sounds of mock crying. Waa..! Still have sound effects! At this point, I almost laughed out loud. It was so difficult to pretend to be sleep, keep a straight face and not laugh at his antics. He was rubbing his eyes, pretending to cry…

“Zhashi is tired. Zhashi sleep.” He gently put the bunny down on his pillow and covered the bunny with his own blanket. And laid down beside it.

Oh great! Finally he’s finally going to sleep!! ???

Within 5 mins he sat up again. Argh!!!! *pull out hair* ????

宝贝’s arm was dangling down from the side of her bed. He’s sleeping in a pull out between the wall and her bed. So her arm was practically beside his face. Too tempting!

He put his own hand in her hand and shook her hand. And laughed to himself. Then he started playing with his sister’s fingers. “1,2,3,4,5….” Then giggled to himself for reasons unknown to me. Then he started getting bolder and started tugging at her and pulling her hand.

Sigh! Why me!!

I sat up. And he stared at me in horror and screamed, ” no no! Mama sleep!!!”

“No! YOU sleep!”

With that I brought him down in a sumo hug, legs scissors crossed over him while he struggled. After 5 mins of screaming and struggling (amazingly, 宝贝 slept through the ruckus!), then all was quiet.

RAWR!! I’m galloping on my horsie!!! Giddy up! Giddy up!

IMG_5665.PNG

Too much horse riding tires me out. Snooze….

Waaa! Is that me? Double chin??? Awww!! I need to do more yoga exercises!!

IMG_5666.PNG

Ahhh this is much better. Fat cheeks is more acceptable than double chin.

The photographer needs to brush up on his skills! No one takes photos from that angle!! You need to take it from top down so that my face looks slimmer and more ham ham!!

Not the pork kind of ham!! The handsome’s ham!! Sigh! These baby boomers…!

Grapes or Blueberries?!

Grapes or Blueberries?!

Can you tell? Are they grapes or blueberries??

IMG_5660.JPG

I bought this box of amazing blueberries from cold storage. They were double the size of regular blueberries! In fact, they were as big as the grapes!

And the best thing was, they were succulently sweet!! Yums!
