Ming Ming’s Diary – My First Chinese New Year

Comments 0 Comment

Finally I managed to get my hands on a phone. Time to update my blog.

Chinese New Year is such a busy time. I swear the number of people I’ve seen today is more than the number I’ve seen in the last 364 days in total!!

IMG_5654.PNG

I’m definitely Mr Popular. I keep being passed around like I’m some kind of Christmas present!

Or maybe I’m a star?! I’m being photographed with every single person. Everyone wants my picture. But why didn’t anyone ask me for my autograph??? Next time can sell for money leh!!

Eh excuse me, another fan wants to be photographed with me. Bbl. *cheese!!* *flashes my 2 bottom baby teeth*

And everytime I kiss someone, take a photo with someone, smile at someone, my Mama collects a red envelop. See! So many! Can you imagine how many kisses and smiles I have to dish out??

IMG_5655.PNG

It’s so tiring to be a cute baby. So much work to do. Sigh..! 可爱真是累人！

IMG_5656.PNG

Hey you! You want to take a photo with my Jie Jie?? You have to ask me for my permission first.

First you give me a red envelop. Then fill in this questionnaire.
1. Occupation of mother
2. Occupation of father
3. Which university you will be attending in future? Please circle one. Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford
4. Number of toys you own.
5. What will you give my sister’s little brother every year.

See that group of boys filling in the forms?? Ya. Go n join them. Nah your q no.

Jiu Jiu finally set up the tripod and took our family photo.

Hey!! Why do I look so grouchy??? I wasn’t ready yet!! I want to take another one!! Jiu jiuuuuu!!

IMG_5658.PNG

There! I look much more cheerful! Good work Jiu Jiu!! Keep it up!!

Who do you think I look like? Mama or Papa??

IMG_5659.PNG

Hang on! How did my bare bottom picture get here?? Private collection!!

Massive backlog on my diary… What to do… Small fingers I have. It takes me very long to blog a post. Please bear with me!

2014 cny eve

Yesterday evening I had my first Lo hei!!

IMG_5640.PNG

But I was too tired to Dayre about it. My normal bedtime is at 630pm. By the time Mama and Papa brought me home, it was almost 9pm. And me?? I was already in Lala land.

When I heard we were going for a Lo hei I was expecting something black (黑黑）but it was so colourful.

IMG_5641.PNG

The waiter was chanting some prayers as he poured the ingredients onto the plates. I saw his ???splatter into the Lo hei. Eeeks! So I didn’t eat any, smart baby I am.

IMG_5642.PNG

Then all the adults used their chopsticks to toss everything and more chanting and more saliva!!! ?

Ah..! Now I know. That’s Lo hei!!!

My Jie Jie said her fruits tasted better than the Lo hei. There she was. Eating the fruits.

IMG_5643.PNG

Pretty babe right? I’m so proud of her. Anyone who wants to date her will have to go through me!!!

Let me see…. I like to drink milk!! Lots of milk. You will need to bribe me with milk then maybe I’ll consider introducing her to you. ?

And me? Haiz. I forgot to bring food. 1st time at the reunion dinner. So noob. Next time I’ll remember to bring my own food like my Jie Jie.

I can only play with my limited edition toy car.

IMG_5644.PNG

I got bored with my toy car after a while. Hey! Adults take so long to eat their food. Sheesh!!

IMG_5645.PNG

I had to walk around on the chairs and remind everyone to hurry up!! It’s past Ming Ming’s bedtime. Omg!!! It was way way past!! Hey I need to sleep so that my brain can develop!!! You are making my iq drop by a few notches!!!

Why is your mouth so small?? Like a guppy?? Open it bigger!!! Like this!! RAWR!! Eat faster!!!

IMG_5646.PNG

I need to go home for my princely sleep. *yawn*

Kefir Breakfast

Ever since I started making kefir, I’ve been serving up kefir smoothies mixed with fruits. I need to start thinking of more variety of kefir food. ?

Because I don’t add sweetener to the kefir, I’ve to mix it with sweet fruits.

Our favourite banana slices, raisins kefir! Just chop up everything. Throw them into the bowl. Scoop kefir – quantity to taste. Mix. Voila! Easy enough for breakfast!

The only one in the family who eats his kefir neat.

You can also get milk kefir from Craft & Culture! Have a healthy day!

A not so good morning *sniff sniff* I’m still having a running away nose and am still sick.

IMG_5626.PNG

I feel like ?. And I didn’t sleep last night. See my bleary eyes. I’m so sad that I missed school today. I was so looking forward to it. I hope the babes don’t miss me too much. I won’t be there to serenade them under the stars and catch bubbles for them. Sigh! How I hate being sick. It sux big time!

IMG_5627.PNG

My last selfie looked awful?? Of course! I’m sick!! Ok ok I must look good even though I’m sick. Here’s another selfie. Blurry? I haven’t had my breaky yet, that’s why.

IMG_5628.PNG

Hmmm… I still need to keep up with my physical exercise although I can’t go to school. That horrible Gregory at school laughed at my moobs. ? he said he’s going to seduce all my gorgeous girlfriends from me. How dare he!! I’m just not tall enough for my weight. I’m not the fat kind of fat! ?

IMG_5629.PNG

Here I go, on my green exercise towel. Look! 6 pack abs!

Hah!

IMG_5630.PNG

I stretch and stretch and stretch…

IMG_5631.PNG

Streeetchhh…

IMG_5632.PNG

There! I’ve done it! Toe in mouth!! Wonderful yoga skill! I’m really good! But I must be humble, hehe, not too much praise please.

Let me tell you a secret.. My Papa can’t do this. He sat on the floor and stretched and stretched and his fingers only reached his knees… max! Papa claims that he’s too tall, that’s why! Me thinks it’s his tummy that’s getting in his way. Don’t worry. Papa doesn’t read my blog. He doesn’t even have a Facebook account! Blogging is too advanced for him!!

Good day everyone! Did anyone miss me because I didn’t post yesterday?? Awww..! I miss all of you too. I sneezed a lot, had a running nose (I don’t know why it’s running away. But it must have changed its mind because it’s still on my face.), and tearing eyes.

IMG_5612.PNG
I conked out yesterday. My nose is still running away, I’ve tied it down with a tissue paper. So I won’t lose it!

IMG_5613.PNG
I called my Jiu Jiu (uncle) this morning to tell him that I’ll be visiting him. He’s been sick sick with a big cut on his neck. I think water leaks from it when he drinks. You know, sometimes when I drink water, and I don’t close my mouth properly, water dribbles out and wets my shirt. Poor Jiu Jiu.

IMG_5614.PNG

Mama lent me her phone to take Jiu Jiu’s photos. The doctor sewed him up like a piece of cloth. Check it out!! There’s still thread sticking out.

IMG_5615.PNG

That’s me, taking my afternoon nap. Mama says, I need to sleep so that my nose will stop running away.

I don’t understand why Mama always bundles me up in the blanket like I’m a piece of salted fish. C’mon! Do I look like salted fish to you?! ?

IMG_5616.PNG

So when everyone’s asleep, I’ll move my fat legs out of the blanket. See! So fair! I need more sun!!

Nooo!! Why did you call me white chicken!!!! I ain’t no chicken!!! ??? I’m a dragon!!’ RAWR!!!

Affordable Art Fair 2014

Affordable Art Fair 2014

I wanted to blog about 小小宝贝 but my phone memory is down to 0mb. Can’t take anymore photos with it. ? So I’m clearing my photo backlog.

Nat gave me 2 tickets to the AAF. Turned out that the person who was supposed to go with me couldn’t make it. Tried asking the people around me.
1. Wanted to go but not in SG or had prior appointment.
2. Eee! Simi Lai eh?! Art fair?? – cultural desert – you know who you are. Don’t want to name you niah!!

So I went there on my own. I used to wander into art galleries (well, pre-children days). Now I hardly have the chance to do that. So I thought I should take a day off. And maybe buy an art piece or two since it’s supposed to be affordable.

But, boy! Was I wrong! I should go to EAAF (extremely affordable art fair) not just AAF. Still out of my budget. ? I still can’t see myself forking out a few grand for a piece of art. I need to work harder and make more money. Nevertheless, I saw some paintings that I liked, some interesting ones and some which left me wondering, huh?! Like that also can?!

IMG_5587.JPG

This was the “huh! Like that also can?!” Expand it on your screen, yes, you are right! It’s made up of Lego figurines! And guess what was the price tag?? A whopping 10 grand!!! I counted. 330 figurines. I’ve already started my Lego figurine collection. Soon I’ll have my $10k art piece framed and hanging on my wall. Cool yah?!

IMG_5496.JPG

This one?? Just kidding. It’s an art piece by 小小宝贝.

IMG_5495.JPG

That’s the little artist hard at work. But… Kid you not! Some pieces really looked like that! I could have it up for sale and market him as the prodigal baby artist and make him work for his education fund.

Or else an abstract piece like this by 宝贝.

Preschooler drawing

Anyway, here are some which I liked or found them interesting.

IMG_5588.JPG

I like round and colourful things. This fits very aptly. Nice right? But I can’t afford it. So I snapped a photo of it for memory’s sake.

IMG_5589.JPG

This interesting dress was made out of a map on the contours of the Himalayas.

IMG_5590.JPG

Robot faces made from tin. Very retro!!

IMG_5591.JPG

That’s the joker on his motorbike. Muahahahah!

IMG_5592.JPG

Abstract looking Big Bird.

What? I like kiddy stuff?? Ok mah! Relieving my childhood!

IMG_5593.JPG

Colourful dog sculpture!

IMG_5594.JPG

Rush hour! Kind of reminded me of raffles place during peak hours. I like the layering of the pieces and the bold red and black colours.

IMG_5595.JPG

I like these 4 paintings depicting famous scenes in Singapore. The paintings were made up of only vertical and horizontal lines. Dabbed to form the images. Cool right? Within my budget but too bad.. Sold by the time I got there. I particularly liked these 2.

IMG_5596.JPG

IMG_5597.JPG

Now this one… I really liked it a lot.

IMG_5598.JPG

It’s a marker drawing with clean lines. The central figure pushed past all obstacles, people to emerge from within. That’s my interpretation. I stood in front of it for the longest time ever. I went off to dutifully cover the grounds and then I came back again. But I couldn’t see myself shelling out 7 grand for that. I took a photo of it and forwarded to hub “nice or not?” “7k leh”

The reply was “you siao arh?! 7k for that?! You come home now! I draw one for you!!” So story over Loh….

Still, I’m looking forward to AAF 2015!

Hey dude! Don’t I look cool? I tugged half my buttons off while Mama was getting Jie Jie ready for school.

She turned around and exclaimed, “Aiyo! Ming Ming! You look like a Sam Seng!!!”

What’s a Sam seng? It must be some singlish slang for hamsum.

IMG_5576-0.PNG

Huh? I have moobs and a paunch?? I’m not some dirty old uncle. These are hidden muscles, the potential beneath, yet to be unleashed.

I’m a baby! Babies are meant to be cuddly!!! So these are my cuddles!!!

IMG_5577.PNG

Too cute for words?? Aww..!! Ok ok. I’ll dress up. Wouldn’t want my cuddles to be pinched. It’s already bad enough that strange aunties pinch my cheeks everyday and exclaim, “so cute…!!” Can’t they just say it without pinching??

IMG_5578.PNG

Ssshh! Let me finish reading my book first. I’m reading ahead so that I can go to school and impress the babes with my profound vocabulary. It’s important to be learned and Sam Seng (singlish for hamsum ya??) at the same time.

IMG_5579.PNG

? Mama! I want to go to work with you! Pretty please!? Don’t leave me behind!!! Pulease..!! (Watery eyes)

My childhood favourite manga and anime. Just makes me happy thinking of it.

Little things that gives joy! Made my day!
