Similies - The Magical Rabbit

2011-01-29T12:14:00.002+08:00

One day, when it was dark as night, I saw a rabbit as white as snow. I was going to bring it home when I suddenly heard it say it needed to hide. Then, it told me it had a magic key.

The next morning, I brought it out to play. Suddenly there was an eclipse. It made it's key shine as bright as the sun. While that was happening, it started to rain and it made a pool or quick sand as sticky as tape. The rabbit sank but came out because I saved it and we became very good friends.

Dear Suzanne Williams, I have read all the Princess Power books and the Goddess Girls books. Howeveve I think you should turn them into DVDs, and I think you should write some books about god boys, for example Poseidon, Orion, Hades, Ares and Apollo, then turn them into DVDs.

You'll make lots of money and you can donate some.

You may even become famous! Do tell Joan Holub about this.

Dear Santa Claus, thank you for sending me and Jamie such wonderful presents. Next year, Jamie would like a baby doll and I would like a remote control toy car please.

Hokkaido and Langkawi holiday

2010-12-22T19:09:00.004+08:00

Dear diary,

This is another great experience for me. I was in Hokaido. I had an appointment with my friends to make a snowball as big as my father. It was colossal! Then we had a snow ball fight and I won! We even built a snowman. Next, I went to lankawi. I made a sandcastle, a sand me and a sand statue of me. I rode a banana boat and swam in a lake. I hope my next trip will be as fun.

My first attempt at fractured tales

2010-11-25T20:26:00.003+08:00

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Cinderella. She had 2 sisters, the elder sister Genessa was kind of like Cinderella. But Cathleen was the opposite. She was the worse shrew in the country.

One day, the prince had a ball. Cinderella's fairy god mother helped Cinderella and Genessa dress with magic. Cathleen was upset and told herself she would be nicer so that next time Cinderella's god mother would dress her too. At the ball, the prince was struck dumb by Cinderella and Genessa's beauty. He told them he could have over nine thousand and ten hundred wives. He married them and they all lived very happily.

Humpty Dumpty - my first poem

2010-11-25T20:16:00.001+08:00

Humpty Dumpty stood on a mat
Humpty Dumpty slipped and he sat
He clutched his bottom coz it hurts so bad
And off he went wailing for his dad

Dear Diary,

Today I had a very good day. The first thing I did at the zoo was to look at all the animals, during the walk we took a tram about 4 times to go to the kids world.

After we got of the second tam drive, I went to feed the manaties. My mummy even got to shakehands with one. I felt neglected. We finally got to kids world.

Mummy and I went to a animal show. Jamie and I went on horseback. (well I meant on seprag horses). Then on a horse carage. (It was the only one in Singapore). 2nd last, we feed the goats. They capt on bleating. Last but not least we went on a caresell. We went to the waterplace to swim and went home.

We had such a good time at the zoo.

Dear diary,

Yesterday was the best day of my life! On page one, I wrote about me going to Hershy's Choclate World; now I am going to write about what I saw and bought.

Once i entered Hershy's choclate World, I started to look around, I found a giagantic choclate bar that was about 50.5cm abd weighed 9.0kg. At first, I thought it was a fake choclate bar then i realised it was real; I was shocked to see such a big bar of choclate! I said "That is the biggest choclate bar I have ever seen!" And my mouth fell open, while my mouth was still wide open, my mummy saw a fake pillow choclate she said I wan to buy this and she went to pay for it.

While she was paying I found a box of cocoa powder, it has a recipie on it so I took it to my mummy and told her "I want to buy this" And she said of course you may.

Dear Diary, today was a totally new experiance for me; first I went for a show. Next I went for lunch; after lunch i went on a dragon-coaster, I could go on it two times because I had extra tickets. After that my younger suster went on a ride called dino soaring, the two of us had loads of fun during the ride. Then we went or another tipe o roller-coaster called air coaster. Next me and my family went to watch Shrek 4D; Then my mommy, grandmother and my grandmother's sister went on a ride that got me wet! Then i went on a vintage car and i got to drive! After that I went shopping and finally i went to Hersh's Choclate World. my family and I had so much fun, I wish i could come again.

The day has come.....

2010-09-11T15:00:00.004+08:00

The day has finally come when i will relinquish my role as a ghost writer and hand this blog over to my darling daughter. No more masquarading as Joey Khor. From the next post onwards, it will be truly "The World Thru Joey's Eyes".

Before i end of, i've just got this little disclaimer to make. Her entries are actually written in a diary but I'll type it out for her (word for word, grammar and spelling mistakes included) coz it'll take 3 days if she has to do it herself.

Over to you now, dear Joey!

Different strokes for different folks

2010-06-27T19:00:00.003+08:00

We returned from Mauritius trip last week. You can view our photos here http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeykhor/sets/72157624324404504/

For Joey, it must have been a great holiday. I can't say the same for me and dear hubby.

The hubs was telling our cousins all about mauritius - the not so good bits - and Joey immediately jumped to the country's defence

Wee Siong:"I'm not a sun, sand and surf person, so Mauritius wasn't fun for me"
Joey:"But, the the place has golden sandy beaches!"

Wee Siong:"The sea water was freaking cold!"
Joey:"But, it's crystal clear!"

So i conclude that the fault does not lie with the country... it's US... it's just a holiday destination that's not suited for us, but for those who loves to be sunkissed, Mauritius may just be the perfect holiday destination for you :)

Sun, Sea and Sand

2010-05-29T15:07:00.002+08:00

We'll be holidaying in Mauritius in 2 weeks time. How did we end up going to Mauritius when both Wee Siong and I are certainly not Sand, Sea and Sun people?

The story goes like this. Phuket was planned and paid for. Then came the Red Shirt drama in Bangkok and my ever so cautious husband decided that it was a bad idea to be in Thailand and so we cancelled it.

We would like to visit Gold Coast again, while our friends suggested mauritius. So we decided to let Joey make the decision. My question was totally biased..

Mommie:"Joey, do you want to go to the Gold Coast? There's cartoon network world which is totally like disneyland! Or do you want to go to Mauritius where it's just the boring beach?"

Joey:"Mauritius of course! I've been to disneyland so many times, i've only been to the beach twice!"

And so, this is how we ended up with airtickets to fly west instead of down under!

At the traffic junction

2010-05-29T14:54:00.003+08:00

We were waiting at a traffic junction, when Joey pointed to the coach next to us and said

"I think i will need one of these for my family!"

About 6 months ago, she has made up her mind that she'll have 4 kids.

She has everything planned out. She'll live in a mansion with 3 rooms, 1 room for her husband and her, 2 bedrooms for her 4 girls to share and 1 room or the maids.

So my question to her was, where's mommy and daddy's place in the mansion? She replied after some thought "Oh... since daddy likes kids so much, you two can sleep with the kids."

Ah.. so i better be content to be a visitor next time. My little girl has decided that she will not stay with us. To me, it's perfectly ok but i know her daddy is heartbroken! haha

Life is Great!

2010-03-23T21:52:00.002+08:00

Hello world! It has been months since i've last updated my blog. As you know my mom has been masquerading as me for the past 6 years and now that i'm able to read and write, she will soon hand this blog over to me. But before that, she'll like to make 1 last post in my name to tell you all about the happenings between November till now.

In the last update, i spoke about chicken pox. It has been a harrowing 3 months for me and my friends as we took turns getting the pox. The cycle finally ended at Uncle Karl who really suffered a lot. My apologies everyone!

In november, I had the most wonderful graduation ceremony at Sentosa. Ah Mah, Kong Kong, Jamie, PoPo , Daddie and Mommie were there to witness the end of another chapter of my life. We performed Cats to roaring applause. It was most memorable. Many thanks to Odyssey, Teacher Patrick and Sun Laoshi for your guidance. I love you all!

Then came December. It was a busy busy month for my folks (and the maids). We packed 110 boxes and moved from Cantonment to Simei. We miss the convenince of staying at the heart of the city but loved the large space we have in Simei. I now have my own room complete with a princess bed, slide and canopies. And space for a pet dog too! Well, i guess it's a good trade off and I have no complains

January, a huge milestone for me, I started Primary school education at Radin Mas. Ask if i enjoy school? School's great everyday! I'm getting used to the routine and settling in well. One thing Odyssey has taught me - Learn to enjoy learning - AND, that's exactly what I'm doing at school :)

February whizzed past with Chinese New Year celebration parties and visits.

March is a month of holidays. We went fishing at Mersing with Julia and BQ. We had a great time! The next week, Mommie, Sati, Jamie and I headed to Macau and Hongkong for a short holiday. We shopped, ate and played the whole time, till we were totally exhausted. We went to kids' city twice in a day and watched Zaia (Cirque du soleil). Then we went to Disneyland and did some shopping at my mom's favourite shopping spot - Citigate. The next day was spent in Macau, shopping and eating. It was fun all around!

Next, we will be heading to Phuket in June. I shall do my own updates then.... watch this space!

Bye Bye Spots

2009-11-27T10:24:00.002+08:00

Yay! I'm officially off chicken pox today, but the episode left behind some "battle scars" which i hope will fade away with time.

I'm truly excited because i've recovered just in time for one of the most important event of my life - The Graduation ceremony.

I'll be posting pictures and videos next. Stay tuned!

Spot Spotty

2009-11-19T09:07:00.002+08:00

I'm poxed out! Chicken pox, that is. Daddie found some spots on my body on Monday night and announced that I've got chicken pox. What fantastic timing? And why do i say so?

- It came after my ballet exams.
- I'll not be missing Yamaha coz this week happens to be a holiday week
- Chinese lesson with Sun Laoshi is cancelled because she has PTC in school
- I'll recover just in time for my concert! Which means so much to me!!

Will post a picture of my spotty self later :)

Pandas are coming to Singapore

2009-11-14T14:24:00.002+08:00

While reading the papers today, mommie pointed out that i should read an article. It's about a pair of pandas who will be coming to Singapore in 2011. I'm a big panda fan! Love their cute face and rotund body!

After reading through the news article. I told mommie that i will name the 1 year old female panda MiMi and the 2 year old male panda Lulu :)

Now, how you do like these 2 names?

Jon and Kate plus 8 and a Dog

2009-10-17T09:52:00.003+08:00

Watching Jon and Kate plus 8 has become a regular weekend morning activity for me and mom

In today's episode, it was about the family getting a pair of puppies for Xmas. This is exactly what we'll do too when we move to our new house.

They were showing the family choosing dogs and deciding between german sheperds and another breed. Mommie who is interested in getting a German sheperd complained that the cameras were just showing the kids and not the dogs. So I had to remind her that "this is a show about the kids not the dogs. Of course you see the kids more than the dogs!"

we also had a discussion on the number of dogs we should get. Our discussion was going no where coz mommie insisted on 1 and I wanted 2 or more. I decided that I'll give in and agree to one but came up with a brilliant idea "I'll let the dog get lost and come back with a wife and baby. Then I'll have 3 dogs!"

The score:-
Joey 1 vs Mommie 0

Start the ball rolling again...

2009-09-28T12:02:00.003+08:00

It's terrible terrible! I've not updated this blog for 1 whole month... time to get my act together...

Since the last update, i've done lots things:-

1) Fishing at Mersing

This happened in August during the National Day break. It's a short break for me and my classmates, Julia and Felicia. It's the first time i've caught a fish too! Though the kelong is spartan, but with a bunch of good friends, time whizzed by and we are left yearning for more kelong escapades!

2) Yamaha class concert

It's my second concert since i started at Yamaha exactly a year ago. I've improved (though far from perection) ever since my folks invested in a piano for me. Here's a snippet of my performance.

3) School activities

Odyssey is an amazing school! It's the best decision mommie has ever made when she moved me from Etonhouse to this school. Well, truth be told - I may not be academically better than others but i've learnt something important that not all schools can offer - An opportunity to learn to enjoy learning in a stimulating environment!

The sports day was awesome! It was so professionally organised, one would mistake it for a primary school sports day!

Then we had a cultural experience day where we learnt to sing "Shan Ge" and dance the bamboo dance! We also had the opportunity to pick up calligraphy and took lessons in chinese Wushu!

Getting ready to perform a scarf dance

One of the other exciting event was the Art Exhibition at the Arts House. Our aboriginal art and other art pieces were on display and the proceed from the sale went to the Children's Society. We were taught that there are many kids out there who do enjoy the same quality of education that we have, they may also not have the money to buy food or books. The money that we've raised for them will go a long way.

A Piece of Aboriginal Art we did - It's not for sale

Preparing for Primary 1 - Odyssey does a good job preparing us for the next biggest chapter in our lives. The move from kindergarten to a Primary school. Our teachers inviting parents, and primary school kids to share with us their school going experience and we had the chance to ask them all the questions that we have.

We also simulated a canteen, where we learnt to count and buy snacks with our money.

COMING UP NEXT...

The last 3 months of this year will be an exciting one for me. There's the graduation concert to look forward to, where we will be performing Cats and Saturday Night Fever at Sentosa, a Farewell Party, My SuperStarz themed Birthday Party and....... We are moving to a new house. One with a lot more space for us to roam around, to climb up and down and cycle around.

Kia Ora PART 1 - Dunedin

2009-08-10T10:24:00.007+08:00

We embarked on our 3rd holiday this year in July to the youngest country in the world - New Zealand.

Here are some highlights of my sight and taste holiday

Cadbury Chocolate World
I've been looking forward to this visit mainly because i've been dreaming of visiting a real chocolate factory after watching one episode on Jon and Kate plus 8, where they visited Hershey's chocolate world. The tour sure did not disappoint (except that i was hoping that they'll have a chocolate ride of sorts). At the entrance, we were greeted by a mountain of chocolate no less! There was also a chocolate discovery trail where i got to taste cocoa nuts - the main ingredient for making chocolates. It has a hint of chocolate but is nothing like the end product... the nut is..... bitter!

The tour brought us around a real working factory. We were given a plastic bag each to keep our chocolate treats. We were given so much chocolate, the plastic bags were bursting at the seams! How generous of willy wonker!

Speights Brewery Tour
This is a highlight for the solo male member of my family. We saw how beer was made and at the end of the tour, we were brought to a tasting room where the adults can indulge in limitless (YES! you read me right... LIMITLESS) servings of beer! For kiddos like me and jamie who for obvious reasons cannot enjoy that privilege, we were given cups of ice-cream and soda. Yum!!! How thoughtful!

The brewery has got a tap on the wall which dispenses mineral water to the public. Anyone can collect water from that tap. It's amazing and totally fun! So fun, we came back again the next day to fill our bottles before we set off to our next destination - Queenstown.

Knowing my strengths

2009-06-23T14:43:00.002+08:00

In conversation with mommie dearest....

Joey:"Mommie, I'm special!"

Mommie:"What's so special about you?"

Joey:"I can talk non-stop. No one in the class can talk non-stop like me. When i forget one word, i can come out with many more words!"

Kota Kinabalu

2009-06-07T23:07:00.004+08:00

We've returned from our trip to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, East Malaysia.

The company was excellent, we had plenty of good fun and the hotel was OH-SO-GOOD!

Day 1 - Arrived at Shangri-la Tanjung Aru Resort at 11.30pm. The check-in was a breeze and we were pleased that the hotel has put Jamie's baby cot in the room prior to our arrival. The room was spacious and extremely comfortable. Didn't take us long to drift into dreamland.

Day 2 - Felt totally rejuvenated after a good night's sleep. We took a leisurely breakfast which has a good spread of food and freshly squeezed juice. They even have frozen yogurt for kids! Yum! While waiting for BJ and Julia to arrive, Jamie and I decided to check out the Kids' Club first. The kids' club is really big and has lots of activities! When the rest of the gang arrived. Julia, Josh and I decided to sign up for the Friday's Kids Evening Party, while the adults go about doing their own boring stuff like shopping and eating seafood.

The Party was a blast! There was a magic show, we also had games like duck duck goose and limbo rock. This is what i wrote in my travel journal (yes! from this trip onwards, i will be keeping a travel journal that documents my travel experiences.. urm... please pardon my less than perfect spelling and disjointed sentence.. i should get better with each successive trip :)

"Today is a variy special day. Tomorrow i will go to the beech. Now i will go to the kidd's club. Whoa! Diss is the Best Kids Club Party! Mommy I shaked money out of my ear!"

Day 3 - The adults decided that they wanted to do more shopping in the morning. So Julia and I opted to go to the kids club for some t-shirt painting, instead. At 2pm, our folks picked us up and we all headed for a Klias sunset river cruise. This is a totally back to nature experience! We took a boat out into the meandering river and saw probosis monkeys, wild water buffalos and also fireflies! Mommie said the boat ride is likened to that of a jungle cruise in Disneyland, except, this is for REAL! This place is so untouched by humans, no pollution, it almost paradise lost and found!

Day 4 - It's time to bid farewell. While Daddie and Mommie were busy packing up, Julia and I went to the kids club again. Oh.. i'm so gonna miss this place!

As i said, the company we had for this trip was great! I overheard my folks planning another trip with my friends' parents. Some destinations on the drawing board includes... mauritius, hokkaido, genting. Woooohoo!!! I can't wait to go on another family holiday with my friends again!! :)

When i grow up....

2009-05-30T10:19:00.002+08:00

I love my bed! It's bouncy and super comfy... so i had this conversation with mom which went like this.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joey:"Mom.. I'm sending my bed to Adelaide!"

Mom:"Adelaide? We are going to New Zealand.. not Adelaide"

Joey:"No. I don't mean our holiday. I mean, I'm sending my bed to Adelaide when i emigrate! I'm emigrating to Adelaide when i grow up. I'm going to have my ears pierced when i get there"

Daddie who overheard our conversation, ran out of the toilet.

Dad:"But Joey, won't you miss me when you emigrate? What about us?"

Joey:"Don't worry. I will write you letters."

The Sound of Music

2009-05-24T18:06:00.011+08:00

After attending my very enthusiastic but far from perfect Yamaha Primary 1 class concert, my folks are convinced that in order to catch up with my classmates, i need a lot more practice on my keyboard skills.

For the whole of Book 1, i've been surviving on a hand me down yamaha keyboard which Fatty Gramps bought for Mommie more than 20 years ago.. YES! you read it right. 20 YEARS... that's how durable a yamaha keyboard is!

Anyhow, the keyboard is no longer adequate for my needs. And so, right after the concert, they went to the showroom and bought a Yamaha U1 for me. Since the piano's arrival at my humble abode 1 week ago, i've been (in my folks' words...) ding ding dong dong'ing on it everyday. True enough, practice does make perfect... oh well, in my case, it's not really perfect, but certainly i've made improvements.

Hear me play my favourite piece, "The Honeybee March"

Panda Reserve

Took this video at the Panda Reserve in Chengdu. See how cute they are!

B for Bakerzin

2009-04-26T12:01:00.005+08:00

I attended a bakerzin baking class for kids last saturday with Sarah, BJ and Dawson. The one hour spent on baking was nothing less than F-U-N! We got to bake a Devil's Food cake which we decorated with icing, strawberries and mashmallows. Each of us also brought home an apron, a chef's hat, a certificate and a photo of us - the little bakers - at work. Mommie and Daddie found it is a miracle that all the cakes turned out so well. YES.... it's totally edible and lo and behold... YUMMY too!

Anyone who wants the recipe can drop my mommie or daddie an email. It's easy to bake and a guaranteed success!

I'm going to let you in on a "secret".......... Shhh.. dun tell anyone..... I'm gonna be having my birthday party at Bakerzin this year! Oohh.... I'm so looking forward to more baking fun with my friends this December :)..

That's me creaming butter.

More pictures of our baking adventure here.

China wow!

2009-04-18T18:51:00.002+08:00

We are back from our 1st holiday of the 2009. This time, we headed north to China - Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou to be exact.

It was a wonderful wonderful trip! We had everything in our favour. The good weather, the pleasure of good company, the extremely favourable exchange rate AND i even witnessed the birth of little fishes!

I had a little episode of motion sickness but that did not mar my snowy experience. We prayed for snow, and snow it did! I had a great time snowflake fishing. Since the tour guide claimed that the air is fresh and there's no pollution. I gamely stuck out my tongue and tasted the freshest snow from the sky. Mommie and I imagined that the snow came in assorted flavors. She savoured the "durian" flavoured snow while i preferred "strawberries" Yummy!

There were lots of highlights and if i were to put everything in writing, it will be ten thousand pages long ;P

So here's a snapshot of all the good stuff we did:-

1) Snowplay at Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou
2) Cute pandas at Panda reserves. I saw red pandas and discovered to my amusement that the baby pandas drink the same fomular milk as my baby sister!
3) Beautiful scenery of Jiuzhaigou (i stuck my hands into the water.. and it's really cold!)
4) Returned home with a glorious collection of chinese educational DVDs and books!
5) Totally captivated by 2 cultural performances.
6) Learnt about weaving cloth
7) Saw my fish gave birth to 6 little fishes.

Mommie has uploaded the pictures here.

Thanks to Auntie Angela, our tour mate who did this little strip for me. Do i really look like Dora?

My Odyssey

2009-03-17T15:17:00.004+08:00

School's been great and I'm loving everyday of it.

Isabella and Me presenting "In the Barrio" to the class as shared reading. In the Barrio’ is a story that focuses on the community that surrounds the protagonist. He observes the many interesting and peculiar things that are around him and describes them in vivid colour and in his Mexican flavour. We then compared and contrasted the barrio in the reader to our community in the Odyssey. We decided to create a book about our campus and named it ‘In the Odyssey.’ Each picture in this book was taken by us and we used words to explain the picture and how we feel about our ‘barrio’ in the Odyssey

Learning graph the fun way. We have a big floor graph!

This lesson was on Talking Tess ('t') and Golden Girl ('g') at the end of words. We practised auditory discrimination.

Each group used a piece of fabric of our choice to express the movements, pace and tempo of the song. Four music genres were used, namely instrumental, R&B, techno and classical, so we can express and explore each musical characteristic. For my group, it was Pachebel's Cannon.

During the past 4 weeks, we had been involved in a project on two staircases in our campus environment. We set out looking for the best way to create the arrows to indicate the directions for the correct way to walk up and down the stairs safely. We researched books and used the computer to look for signs and arrows they can best employ for the task.

Decorating our staircase

I've fallen in love with Dr Seuss!

Budding Photographer

2009-03-08T23:11:00.002+08:00

We will be going to the Jurong Bird Park next week.

My class would be working on a photo story on the environment using digital photography. We intend to use these captured pictures to put up an exhibition of our Black and White photographs. We will practice our picture composition skills, learn to upload our own pictures, choose our own pictures and use Adobe Photoshop to turn our chosen pictures into black and white. All these will be done with guidance from the teachers, of course.

This is a chance to showcase our creative expression through this new artistic art form.

I'm so glad to have joined Odyssey.... the learning environment and teaching style is a lot more suitable for me here as compared to Etonhouse.

I'm looking forward to the field trip. Will upload some pictures here soon :)

Up North and down South

2009-03-01T19:06:00.005+08:00

Our family holidays are confirmed - well at least until July, that is! We are planning it well ahead of time this year so that it will not clash with my Primary One registration and Daddie's work. This will be the the last year where i'm allowed to skip school, so we are taking this opportunity to see the world.

Early April, we will be heading North to China to visit the Jiuzhaigou valley. Daddie won't be coming with us on this trip though coz he has work to do in Singapore. So it will be a holiday for me, jamie, mommie, fatty gramps and Auntie Susan Po's family. 沟沟

What I'm looking forward to the most, is the July holiday... we are travelling south to the newest country in the world - New Zealand! I've already made known to my follks what i want to do during that 10 days holiday. I want to make snow angels, go snowflake fishing, horseback riding and milk some cows (something i missed in Korea). Mommie and Daddie are hoping to go on a Lord of the Rings trail and take a scenic train ride from Christchurch to Greymouth. We have not planned out the itinerary yet but we are certain we want to stay in these 2 resorts!

The Hermitage - On Mt Cook - Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

The Edgewater Resort - Lakeside accomodation... i want to feed some ducks from the room balcony!

Conquering Waterworld

2009-02-28T22:24:00.005+08:00

I wish I could swim as well as Ariel but mommie thinks i'm at best only Flounder's standard... and by that, she means - I flounder about in water! She has this video to prove.

Practice makes perfect and so from next week onwards, i shall take on double swimming lessons - friday with my friends and saturday with my dear cousins :) Perhaps someday, flounder will turn into a Little Mermaid?

Getting ready for Ah Kong's Birthday

2009-02-28T22:23:00.002+08:00

Ah Kong's birthday is coming up soon and i'm going to "bake" him a birthday cake! Mommie and I made one last Sunday and although we didn't think the cheesecake turned out well but Ah Kong said it was delicious! And since he loves it so much, i shall grant him his wish and make him another one for his birthday.


Getting the ingredients ready...	Stir the mixture well

Scoop and dump into baking pan	Decorate with my favourite fruit! Yum!

p/s i've been cajoling my mom to buy me a cupcake maker, if i succeed, then perhaps Ah Kong will have cupcakes for his birthday instead!

AFTERNOTE: Having read the reviews of this cupcake contraption on the web, it is highly unlikely that mommie will buy one for me.

This Chinese New Year....

2009-01-31T22:55:00.004+08:00

Overheard at a Uncle B's house during a CNY party:-

Uncle B: "WS, where's your dad?"
Daddie: "My dad's been busy recently"
Uncle B: "Then how about your mom?"
Daddie: "Oh.. she's busy keeping my dad busy"
Joey: "No! No!!! My Ah Kong is still at the silly golf course!"

Overheard at Uncle E's house during a CNY party:-

Auntie E: "So Joey, what have you been doing this CNY?"
Joey: *without batting an eyelid* "Oh, i've been busy with ang pow shopping."
Auntie E: *raises 1 eyebrow* "How many ang pow have you collected then?"
Joey: "Ermm, HUNDREDS!!"
Auntie E: "......." *raises BOTH eyebrows*

Opps.. i hope i haven't made mommie and daddie look like some angpow hunting monsters with my reply.

Now i know my 12 生肖

2009-01-31T00:50:00.002+08:00

Hey mommie, i know my 12 生肖 pretty well ok.Don't try to pull a fast one on me by asking me where is the 河马, coz i know that 河马是在水里面!!

12 生肖

2009-01-31T00:40:00.002+08:00

This Chinese New Year, i'll like to dedicate this 12 zodiac animal song to you and your family. May the Moo year brings you luck, prosperity and good health :) - Love Joey

Embarking on a new odyssey

2009-01-28T22:18:00.007+08:00

Dear Daddy and Mummy,

This was my first week at my new school in the Odyssey. Over the past 6 days, we had learned a lot about the campus and about my friends who are travelling with me this year as we journey through Kindy 2. We went through our orientation with Teacher Patrick, Teacher Ee Ling and Sun Laoshi who brought us around our classroom and the campus to introduce us to the different corners and features.

As we explored our new campus environment, we introduced ourselves to our new friends and started building bonds with them. We also did a show-and-tell. We embarked on some written work too.

I did a self introduction as i painted my portrait with acrylic paint. I set my goals for 2009 too. One of the most important things for me to remember is that my friends and I have agreed to work together to make our learning journey here great by doing our part to work together and to practice personal responsibility.

I enjoyed my first week here with my friends and getting to know them. I hope you enjoyed thed glimpse into my first wek in my new school. I have to go now. I must wash my hands before lunch. Yum.. i love carrots! Will write soon. Love Joey.

Of Party, Party and more Parties

2009-01-02T00:27:00.004+08:00

I turned 5 on 30 December and to date, I've had in total 4 birthday celebrations already. The first was at the Kallang Ice Skating rink on 19 December where my friends were invited to my "High School Musical on Ice" birthday bash. Mommie thought the party was rather haphazard as a lot of details were put together only at the very last minute. She would have loved to get me the pinata, the HSM themed goodie bags, attire, etc but alas, time was not on her side. Despite these hiccups, the feedback she received from my guests seemed to suggest that the party was a great success. Many of said that they had fun (those who were previously very fearful, could now skate on their own!) and are now raring to come back to the rink for more skating fun!

The 2nd party was held at Ah Kong's place. It was a christmas cum birthday celebration for nikkolette and me. Although there were only 12 of us, there was enough food on the table for a whole village or so says mommie. Imagine a turkey big enough for me to stuff my head into it - think Mr Bean. When the party ended, i ran upstairs to rip the wrappers apart and i'm delighted (hmm.. or should i say "OVERJOYED") to find a Liana and Ian doll within my presents (Thanks Nikko - you sure know me best). Now together with the Alexa doll which i got earlier from Lauren, i now have a complete Barbie - Diamond Castle - doll collection.. Whoppee! And.. of course, there's the beautifully illustrated popup fairytale storybook from Auntie Pinky. Ah Kong read them to me and i enjoyed the stories very much.. Thank you all for the wonderful gifts :)

Now, Party Number 3 was truly a magical one. It was held at the happiest place on earth - Disneyland! The day before, i received a surprise birthday present in my hotel room. It's a towel cake and a birthday card with a picture of all the Disney Characters. On my birthday, i was treated to a day of fun at Disneyland and a shopping spree at the disney shop. I was allowed to pick any item i want from the shop and i chose an Aurora costume dress - much to mommie's dismay - but daddy bought it for me anyway :). Later, I received a call from the concierge in the evening and who told me that Mickey and Minnie has dropped off yet another birthday gift for me. I went to the lobby to collect it and it was a Princess Dining Set - how sweet of the 2 mice! Then, at around 10pm, my birthday cake arrived and we had a small birthday celebration in the hotel room.

Tonight, i had my 4th birthday party at Fatty Gramps house. This time it's a New Year cum birthday celebration. My australian cousins are in town for a visit and I invited them to the party too. Also at the party are 2 of my very close friends, edythe and kendra. Although the party was nothin grand, but the joy of celebrating it with my closest friends, family and cousins is just so fabulous!

Now that a new year has started, it's time to take a siesta from partying and get ready for some serious "work". I'm starting K2 tomorrow at a new school and I'm looking forward to a whole new learning journey in the 2009 :)

Happy 2009 everyone!

Akan Datang

2008-12-26T20:30:00.003+08:00

I have lots to update... There's the birthday parties (one with friends, another with Khor Family, 2 more to go), christmas celebrations, sleepovers, ride on the singapore flyer, etc.

I'll do the updates when we return from Hong Kong ok. Meanwhile, here's wishing everyone a Blessed Xmas and a Happy New Year!

Holiday Programme and Holiday

2008-12-13T11:04:00.007+08:00

There is a lack of updates on this blog coz i've been a really busy little soul this school holiday. So what have i been up to, you ask. Well, my days are packed with art classes, clay classes, christmas shoppings and playdates at my cousins' house.

Auntie Sandra signed us up for art classes at Little Artists. Here are some of the art pieces we did at the art class. I did a barnyard too, but before mommie could take a picture of it, i've given it away to Ah Kong as a Xmas gift!

We used soap powder for the sea effect for this art piece

Mommie was rather impressed with the art class and decided to sign me up for clay modelling class at the same school. We did 2 clay pieces there - a nativity scene and a strawberry. The strawberry is still getting dried at the school, while here's a picture of the clay nativity scene i did.

Mabel and I, concentrating on creating our nativity scene

Here's the end project

Mommie, Fatty Gramps and I have been shopping a fair bit this december. One of the items i helped choose and decorated is the new Xmas tree! We've decided to give our old frumpy looking tree away to make way for a 7 feet and more "professional" looking one complete with colour coordinated ornaments.

I also spent considerable amount of time "networking" with my cousins :) We staged fashion shows, rode our bikes to a neighbouring playground, swam lots and lots, or just goofing around.

Coming up next, are more weeks of jam packed activities. Next week, I'll be celebrating my birthday with my classmates at the Kallang Ice World. I've themed it "Joey's High School Musical on Ice" birthday party. Mommie is kind of behind time with the preparations. I've not seen the pinata and cake yet.... hurry hurry mommie... time is running out!

On the last week of December, my family will be heading to Hong Kong again. Yes! AGAIN! This time mommie promises to do less shopping and more chilling out at the hotels. I'm looking forward to swimming at the Disneyland Hotel pool and lying in bed for tonnes of Disney playhouse action on TV!

I Love Tennis............ NOT!

2008-11-23T12:05:00.003+08:00

Who needs foreign talent when I'm gonna be Singapore's answer to a Maria Sharapova!

Hmm... will feigning dead get me out of this sport?

Move aside Annika Sorenstam! Bet you can't play golf with a tennis racket like me!

Picking balls must be the funnest part of this game!

Movies and Plays

2008-11-15T16:37:00.004+08:00

This school holiday, my cousins and I have a host of movies and plays all lined up. First up was Wizard of Oz. I can't say i enjoyed the show coz the storyline was kind of depressing at times and i really don't like watching scary scenes.

Then there was High School Muscial 3 which was alright but not fabulous. There were too many teenage scenes which mommie thought were not very suitable for kids my age.

Today, we met the cousins again to watch TLC's "The Tooth Fairy". This is one of their better productions with a really hilarious storyline. It was truly enjoyable and mommie considers this money well spent. Mommie says that from now on, she shall describe all visits to candy stores, a visit to the mountain of decay.

Tonight i will be watching Madagascar 2, one of my all time favourite cartoons! I'm so looking forward to it, the music is ringing in my ears!

Art Exhibition at Etonhouse

2008-11-15T11:25:00.004+08:00

On 17 November, the school held an art exhibition displaying some of the works we did through the year. Our art pieces are being auctioned off and proceeds will go to our favourite charity.

My leaning tower of pisa went under the hammer at $10... now this beautiful piece of work (in my humble opinion) of mine, will go on display at the private art gallery of Mr and Mrs WS Khor :) *clap* *clap*

Theme of our exhibition "Eco Art - Turning Trash into Treasure"

Our artwork on display - bowls, wrapping paper, notebooks......

Landmarks of the world - Eiffel Tower (by Yishu), Learning tower of pisa (Joey) and the statue of liberty (Ernest)

A Letter to Miss Ann

2008-11-13T14:05:00.002+08:00

Miss Ann has been asking me about my baby sister, so here's what i wrote to her.

A Family Potrait

2008-11-13T13:52:00.001+08:00

This is a picture of my family. Please don't ask me why my daddie's hair is long and curly - it's just the way i like my daddie to be :)

Sisterhood

2008-11-13T13:46:00.001+08:00

Drew this picture of me and jamie today. How I wish mommie will allow us to keep our tresses long.

My Sister is a blogger too!

2008-11-05T00:57:00.003+08:00

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! My little sister Jamie has found her own place in cyberspace. Visit her blog and get to know her better at http://jamiekhor.blogspot.com

Can someone tell me, do we look like sisters?

Halloween

2008-11-05T00:42:00.003+08:00

Halloween is a day i look forward to every year. I love everything from pumpkins to parties. Every year at this time, i'll have a helleva good time trick-a-treating, painting pumpkins and dressing up as my favourite character. This year, daddie was too busy with Jamie to carve me a pumpkin - something which he has faithfully done every year. Nevertheless, i was "compensated" with a full day of halloween party fun!

The day started off with me dressing up as a fairy and participating in a class party. We decorated the classroom with loads of halloween related stuff, like spiders, pumpkins and even made our own bags for trick-a-treating. Then we went round the school collecting candies and chocolates.

In the evening, Auntie Christine organised a halloween party at her house for all the K1s and some N2s. Donned in glow in the dark accessories, we partied around the pool and had nice bbq stuff for dinner. The party didn't end till midnight when mommie declared, "Joey, it's midnight now, a new day has started and halloween is offically over this year".

Next year, Jamie will be 1 year old when halloween comes again. I've already decided to dress her up as a pumpkin!

My mommie dug this fairy outfit from a bargain bin at Mothercare.

My classmates all dressed up in halloween outfits

Mommie's English Teacher

2008-10-08T16:28:00.004+08:00

Mommie's english is getting atrocious! She's speaking alot more singlish and pronouncing words wrongly now.... tsk tsk..

Mommie:"Joey, can you sing Jamie a song? How abt you sing "the whale on the bus"?
Joey:"Mommie, it's WHEEL... not Whale... A whale is the big fish that swims in the sea. How can it be on the bus??"

Mommie:"bla bla bla....... you don't know meh?"
Joey: *stares intently at mommie* "no MEHs please!"

My Baby Sister

2008-10-03T10:27:00.004+08:00

I'm now a big Jie Jie! My baby sister, Jamie was born on Monday, 29 September 2008. When i went to visit mommie and jamie at the hospital, i got a surprise! Jamie got me a present and it's a stuffed bunny rabbit in a house which comes with interchangable clothes. Mommie said that Jamie brought this gift along when she came out. First, it was Jamie, then the bunny and the house popped out of mommie's bum bum! I can't believe Jamie is so thoughtful!

As for me, i made a little bracelet for her. It's a tat bit too big for now, but i'm sure she'll be able to put it on her when she grows a little chubbier.

Here are some pictures of her.

I'm so proud to be a big sister!

Mommie says she sleeps just like me when i was a baby. Check out my scrolling photostream... can you spot the almost identical sleeping position?

Blessings and well-wishes from family and friends.

Class Photos

2008-09-28T10:44:00.006+08:00

Another year at Etonhouse has past. After all the hullabaloo, I'm still at this school - and likely to remain so till i move on to Primary 1.

Here are the yearly class photos as a record of my pre-primary education at the school


2006	2007	2008

We are Ready!

2008-09-27T11:10:00.004+08:00

According to Dr Ann, my baby sister should be arriving sometime next week. The cot is up, the clothing washed, bottles ready, presents bought.

Dear Jamie, we are all prepared and ready to welcome you to our family :) See you soon my baby sister!

Meanwhile here are some pictures of her in my mommie's tummy (probably the last few before we see the real thing)

A rather clear image of Jamie

Can you see Jamie sucking on her tootsies?

Reaching a new milestone

2008-09-27T10:54:00.002+08:00

I have to put this on record. On 19 September 2008, i reached a new milestone in life.. I've learnt to swim independently without any swimming aids.

Daddie is convinced that the credit should go to the Konfidence swimming vest he invested in, while Mommie thinks that all credit should go to Uncle John, my swimming coach.. As for me, it's obvious that i deserve all the credits myself!

I took on a dare from my classmates. When they teased that i was the slowest learner and the smallest in class, i decided to prove them all wrong by taking the plunge (literally!). I threw myself into the water and paddled furiously with all my might... and before i even know it, i was.... *gasp* swimming!

Here's a clip of my attempts at swimming, taken yesterday at swimming lessons.

A Marriage Proposal

2008-09-25T09:48:00.003+08:00

Someone whispered into my mommie's ears about a marriage proposal i received from a classmate.

When we got home, the interrogation began.....

Mommie:"Joey, did XXX ask you to marry him?"
Joey:"Yes. He said he wants to marry me, but i didn't say i want to marry him"
Mommie:"Oh?"
Joey:"I told him i will choose someone else, but not him"
Mommie:"Then who do you want to marry?"
Joey:"I don't know. I haven't decided yet"
Mommie:"Why do you think XXX wants to marry you? Is it because you are cute or pretty?"
Joey:"No... i think it's because i have a lot of toys and jewellery!"
Mommie: *roll eyes*

Ice-skating

2008-09-14T21:08:00.003+08:00

My love for ice-skating has grown and i'm now a permanent "fixture" at the rink every Saturday afternoon. Someday i hope - or rather it's mommie's hope - that i'll become a good figure skater.

Inspired by High School musical on ice, I'm going to have a "Royal Birthday Party On Ice" on December 19! Yes, i know December is still a long way off, but with some major logistics issues in mind, my folks reckoned that they should better plan early this time.

Wow wee!! I'm so thrilled, I'm spinning round and round in joy :)

Back to Nature

2008-09-14T20:52:00.003+08:00

I've been particularly excited today... coz I've designated it as "Back to Nature" day! Daddie has arranged with a friend who owns a fish farm to let me and my friends plant some fruit trees!

Right after berriesworld, we gathered some papaya seeds and headed off to the farm for our tree planting activity. Uncle Matthew, Yishu and Yiting joined us for this excursion too!

After loosening the ground, each of us took turns to sow the papaya seeds into the soil and covered it with earth. Daddie's friend told us that it will take about 3 months before we will get to see the fruits of our labour. We are not sure if the seeds will grow into trees, but we are excited at the prospects of having our very own papaya fruit tree!

"Dear Papaya seed.... i hope you will survive, grow and bear us lots of sweet juicy fruits! I will back in 3 months time to see you again!"

Daddie helping Yi Ting to sow the papaya seeds

My buddy Yishu and I posing with the tanks of fish.

I even brought home some guppies as souvenirs. Thank you Uncle for the beautiful guppies. I'll promise to take good care of them!

Mini Toons @ Mid Autumn Festival

2008-09-14T20:27:00.005+08:00

I had a very special mid-autumn festival this year. Auntie Sumin invited us to her condo's party and I was surprised to see all my cousins there too. I've not played with Isabel and Michelle for quite some time already, so it was certainly good to see them again!

The party was a major affair with lantern parades (with a bunny no less!), face painting, magic shows and stage performances. You won't believe it but Mabel, Darren, Auntie Sumin and I took the courage to participate in one of the stage games! We had to dress up as Houyi (Darren), The Sun (Mabel) and Chang Er (ME ME ME!) and acted along with the storyline. There were 5 groups in total, made up of mostly older kids. We are Team Number 5 and the tiniest of the lot. The emcee aptly named our team "the Minitoons"!

We acted to the best of our ability - Darren made the crowd laughed with his funny antics - and we were voted 1st runner up by the audience!

It's a pity no one brought along a camera and all we got is this blur shot from Daddie's blackberry. But nevermind, such sweet memories will be etched in my mind forever.... afterall, it's my first maiden inpromtu stage performance :)

Swimming Lessons

2008-09-14T20:02:00.002+08:00

I've been attending swimming lessons for over a month now and i think it's time for some updates on my progress.

Although i've yet to learn to swim independently, I've gained alot more confidence in water. I'm no longer afraid to put my head under water but I'm still having some problems blowing bubbles through my nose.

Swimming lessons are something I look forward to every week. My swimming buddies includes Ernest, Yi Shu, Yi Ting, Kristy and Lee Shin who are all my classmates from Etonhouse. On fridays, Mommie will pick Ernest and myself up from school and we will head to Yishu's house for our lessons (but not before we have a little "picnic" in the car enroute to the pool).

Our coach, uncle John is fantastic with children and he sure knows how to make the lessons fun for us. We play a lot of water games and also pretended to be spiderwomen (and spiderman) walking along the walls of the deep pool while learning to blow bubbles.

Here are some pictures of what goes on at my swimming class.

What would you do?

2008-09-08T22:38:00.004+08:00

I was bullied in school today. During music lessons, a classmate who wanted to sit where i was sitting, pushed me away and I fell and cut my lips. Blood oozed out and my lips now looked kind of bruised. When the adults found out, they gave me 4 different suggestions on how to deal with such situations in future....

---------------------------
Mommie: Joey, fighting is no good. BUT... if someone hurts you and you hit that person back to protect yourself, then it's ok. It's called Self Defense.

Ah Ma: Joey, next time if someone hurts you, just walk away. Don't go near that person anymore.

Daddie: JOEY! When someone hits you, you must hit that person back DOUBLY HARD!

Ah Kong: Joey, I'm going to teach you BOXING!

----------------------------

Now i'm confused.... so who should i listen to? hmmm......

I shall have the final say

2008-09-02T14:46:00.003+08:00

I think i'm getting better with words... even Fatty Gramps is no match for me. heh heh.

Fatty Gramps: *gasp* "Joey, you've got double eyelids! That means you are going to fall sick! You better pack your toys and go to sleep"

Joey:"I'm not falling sick, these are double eyelids of HAPPINESS!"

Fatty Gramps: *speechless*

Solve My Riddle

2008-08-29T09:59:00.002+08:00

One of the things i enjoy doing during boring car rides is to tell jokes and riddles.

Here're two of my latest "inventions"

Riddle #1

Joey: "Daddie, How do bees go to school?"
Daddie: "Ermm.. i don't know."
Joey: "In a bee buzz"

Riddle #2

Joey: "Daddie, How do bees go to work?"
Daddie: "Ermm...... in a bee car?"
Joey: "Nooo....... in a bee-hical"

What is Happiness?

2008-08-24T16:51:00.003+08:00

I woke up one morning to this conversation with Daddie....

Daddie:"Happiness is being able to cuddle my pudge in the morning and kissing you!"*muacks*. What's happiness to you, Jojo?

Joey: "Happiness to me is a flying ice-cream and lots of stuffies".

* For those of you who are not familiar with my jojo lingo, pudge is my other nickname while stuffies is the collective term for my stuff animals.

Jamie at 27 weeks

2008-08-14T20:40:00.002+08:00

Look how much Jamie has grown in 4 weeks. This is my sister in mommie's tummy at 27 weeks. Can you see her chubby cheeks? We'll be seeing Jamie again this Saturday. I'm so looking forward to it. Just 8 more weeks and i will officially inherit the title of BIG SISTER JOEY.

Question...

2008-08-14T09:11:00.004+08:00

Ah Kong was feeding me fruits over dinner yesterday when he started his story on "Where did fruits come from?" ....

Ah Kong:"Fruits come from trees. When a bigger animal picks the fruit from a tree, some of the fruits will drop to the ground and the little animals will eat them. These small animals will poo poo the seeds out and after a while, the seed will grow into another fruit tree."

Joey:"So Ah Kong, where did the FIRST fruit tree come from?"

Ah Kong: *stumped!*

Does anyone have an answer for this?

Sharing with Jamie

2008-08-13T09:22:00.002+08:00

Being the nice big sister that i am, i decided to share some of the candies I found in Kota Saito's birthday party goodie bag with Jamie. There are 2 dinosaur jellies....

Joey:"Jamie, there's a purple one and a orange one, which one do you want?"

Mommie responding on behalf of Jamie: "Hmm.. i think she'll like the purple one."

Joey:"Purple?? But i like purple! Hmm...she can have the orange one instead!"

National Day Celebration

2008-08-10T10:22:00.004+08:00

Time whizzes past so fast, it didn't seem too long ago when i had to wear red and white to school to celebrate the national day. This national day, mommie realised that i didn't have any red and white apparel that will fit me, EXCEPT for this dress that Mabel gave to me sometime ago. Problem is, she couldn't find it and remembered that it was soiled and is in Ah Kong's house. I gave Ah Kong an emergency SOS call and he got my one and only white and red dress, washed-dried-ironed and delivered at 11.30pm the nite before! Thank you Ah Kong!!

here are ome photos and a video of my national day performance with my classmates in 2008.

High School Musical on Ice

2008-08-09T12:26:00.004+08:00

After 3 months of anticipation, i finally got to watch Disney's High School Musical on Ice yesterday. It was a truly spectacular performance, very different from the usual minnie, mickey on ice. Theatrics were good, music was great, pyrotechnic was fantastic! It was almost like an indoor fireworks. The music was something i'm very familiar with and my cousins and I could sing along to most of the songs.

I'm so inspired by the skating, i can't wait to step into the skating rink again to practice. Someday, i hope to be as good as the performers!

Good news!! Daddie has agreed to a Princess on Ice Birthday Party for me this year. Now, that's something new and exciting to look forward to this year end!

Of Flowers and Gardens

2008-08-09T12:17:00.004+08:00

Since mommie was working at the Singapore Garden Festival, i took the opportunity to visit the festival thrice. First time was with daddie and my cousins, then it was Fatty Gramps and Sati and finally with Ah Kong and Ah Mah.

My favourite part of the festival must be the Clarins learning garden. Mommie and Daddie left me and Mabel there for 30 mins and we had lots of fun engaging in board games and learning about plants and nature.

Mommie also bought me boxes of instant vegetables which i can grow and eat in 7 days! Will post more pics of my instant vegetables when they are fully grown.

Meanwhile here's a pic of me and my cousins enjoying the Garden Festival.

Adelaide - the final post

2008-08-05T10:45:00.002+08:00

I thought i should better quickly finish my adelaide travelogue quickly before i forget all those memorable and fun moments.

The final 2 days of our trip passed very quickly. We had enjoyed ourselves so much, we almost didn't want to come home - mommie was secretly wishing that the qantas strike will affect us, "forcing" us to stay another day or 2 before we could get a flight home. BUT.. no such luck.. There were many qantas flights that were cancelled but NOT ours! sigh...

Anyway, back to the trip. On the 2nd last day, we drove past the Maclaren Valley to Victor Habour. It's one of the highlights of our trip. Mommie and Daddie had promised to take me on a horse drawn carriage and experience a penguine parade. While waiting for the horse carriage to arrive, we also took the chance to visit the whale musuem. The horse carriage ride, though uneventful, was a truly unique experience for me.

In the evening, daddie, mommie and I trekked granite island and witnessed the beautiful sunset. We were back at the cafe in time for the penguine parade. It was a little disappointing that we didn't get to see many penguines. We were told that a lot of these poor little animals were being eaten up by seals.

After the penguine tour, it was a long and VERY windy walk along the jetty back to mainland where our car was parked.

We ended our day with chinese takeaway from chinatown.

The last day was spent leisurely at Glenelg and Rundel Street Market. Rundel is a very colourful street market and they even had fairies and free face painting to keep us kids entertained.

Glenelg is a quaint town with a beautiful beach. Lunch was at the HMS Baffalo which is a museum cum restuarant. Food was great! I love mommie's chicken fillet with lobster sauce.. Yummy!

Mommie and I spent the afternoon at the beach while daddie went for a massage.

We concluded our trip with a sumptious dinner with my cousins. It has been a very good trip for everyone. It will be a long while before we will be going on a family holiday again.

One thing for sure, our next holiday will be a wintery one (mommie and daddie have already bought winter clothing for jamie). So will it be New York or Hokkaido?

Am i really a funny bunny?

2008-07-29T20:10:00.002+08:00

Sometimes, i throw the adults into fits of laughter with my funny talk...

Funny Talk 1 - Blowing a kiss
I blew a kiss in the car and exclaimed "Hey, someone quickly catch the kiss that's flying in the car!"

Fatty gramps caught my kiss and i continued "Now you got to eat it, so it'll go right to your heart"

Funny Talk 2 - How much is a kiss
Daddie rang up one afternoon to ask for a kiss from me, so mommie drove me to his office and i gave him a loud smacking kiss.

Mommie:"Joey, do you know that the kiss cost me $1?! (mommie had to drive through one ERP gantry to get to daddie's office)

Joey:"$1? No! My kiss is $80,000 each. Now, give me $80,000!"

Adelaide Day 3

2008-07-20T11:51:00.003+08:00

At the rate Mommie is going, it's gonna take at least another 2 months before the whole trip is recorded on this journal of mine. Sigh...

----------------------------------

Day 3 started late.. really late coz Mommie couldn't get out of bed until 9.30am! It wasn't too bad actually coz it's supposed to be a fuss free and take it easy day anyway.

First stop - The Giant Rocking Horse at Gumeracha. It was rather disappointing when i realised that the Giant Rocking horse, doesn't ROCK! We paid AUD$4 to climb it anyway only to discover that we can't climb to the top of the horse. The consolation was.... we got free entry to the wildlife garden and 2 certificates for "climbing" the horse. It was in this garden when i met a crazy white chicken who chased me round and scared me really badly. We left the place shortly after a little shopping at the toy factory.

We started our drive along the outskirts of Barossa Valley with no particular spot in mind. Saw a vineyard sign - Seppelt Wines - and decided to just check it out. Daddie off course sampled the wine and food, while i made friends with 2 very friendly black labradors. I think i've discovered my love for dogs! We spent a few good hours here chatting with the owners of the vineyard, savouring the fantastic woodfire pizza and just relaxing.

After bidding farewell to the dogs and the owners, We wanted to check out the Maggie Beer farmhouse at Tanuda but got lost along the way and decided to head right into the heart of barrossa valley for lunch. By the time we arrived at Barrossa, all the lunch places were closed. We had to eat at this dingy eatery which served chicken kiev and chips. It's nothing to wow about, but at least we didn't have to die of starvation!

On our way back to Adelaide, we visited the Herbig family tree. A family of 16 used to live in this gum tree.

Dinner was spent with my cousins. It was good meeting up with them again!

Adelaide - Day 2

2008-07-13T11:08:00.006+08:00

Day 2 was spent at Adelaide Hill which was only a short 30mins drive away from the city centre. After a hearty breakfast (first of many more to come) at the hotel, our first stop was Cleland Wildlife park - this park came highly recommended by Auntie Su-lin. It must be a low season for tourists coz it was very quiet and we were the only asians there. I met many of my marsupial friends and even got to pat a koala and feed some kangeroos. Daddie won't let me get close to this really big red kangeroo, coz he said it looked agressive and may box me! Makes me wonder if kangeroos are really good boxers.

Something funny happened while i was chasing kangeroos... i slipped and fell onto a cluster of kangeroo poo! It was really yucky, but thankfully ain't stinky. Here's a pic of the "handful" of poo (anyone care for a sniff? heh heh).

Next up, Hahndorf - the german town. On the way, we passed by Mt Lofty Summit where we made a quick stop for daddie to check out the shop, in search for a walking stick for his injured knee. We also made a mental note to check into the Loft Summit hotel the next time we visit adelaide. It's a really nice big house perched on a cliff, overlooking the Adelaide Hills. It'll be so wonderful to wake up every morning to such breathtaking views.

Hahndorf was just another 15mins away from Mt Lofty. See, Adelaide is really small and many places of interest are just a short drive away. We needed lunch when we arrived at hahndorf and we were oh-so spoilt with choices! Every restaurant looked so inviting and after driving up and down the street a couple of times, we decided to eat at the Stables Inn. Food was ok, ambience was good, service.. EXCELLENT!

After lunch, we had to walk off the "stone" in our tummies and explored this little german town. Mommie felt that it's quite dead and lacked maintenance. It's a far cry from the vibrant hahndorf she visited abt 8 years ago when she was a student. We checked out Humbug, the lollyshop where i picked out a heartshaped chocolate for myself. Later, I was attracted by this big pretzel hanging outside a bakery and being our usual gluttony selves, we decided to have our tea break there (yes! with the "stone" from our lunch still in our tummies)

Another 5 mins drive and we arrived at the Beerenberg Strawberry Farm. The farm is closed for winter but we did a great deal of shopping at the factory. My folks bought bottles of assorted jam for my classmates (how timely, esp when we are learning all about jam just before i left for this holiday). It'll certainly make a great gift for all my friends!

On our way back to city, we dropped by the fresh produce market and bought some fruits to snack for the rest of our trip. Daddie wished he could cart back the butternut pumpkins which were selling for a quarter of how much it'll cost in Singapore!

Our last stop at adelaide hills is the Bridgewater Mills vineyard. While daddie was busy tasting wine, Fatty Gramps, mommie and I explored the estate. It was the first time i've seen a real waterwheel and it was like a page out of my fairytale storybooks! The sound of water going round and round was - in mommie's words - very therapeutic!

Dinner was a simple affair at Nandos chicken (something which mommie missed a lot since her aussie school days). We did some major shopping at the adjacent Kmart - a peep into the shopping cart, you'll find dozen boxes of Decadent Choco biscuits, lots of chuppa chup handphone charms, PJs for daddie and me, books, toys, clothing for fatty gramps and clothes hangers too! YES!! clothes hangers... something which fatty gramps said she couldn't find in Singapore??

It was about 10pm when we returned to our hotel. We will be visiting the barossa valley on Day 3. Stay tuned!

Adelaide Day 1

2008-07-06T12:40:00.005+08:00

We are back from Adelaide (correction: it's been a week since we returned from our really relaxing and stressless trip).

There are just too much to say, it'll be better if i'll just leave you - my dear readers - with daily highlights of our trip:

Day 1: Arrival at Adelaide

What we ate:
Breakfast from Woolworths. We went shopping at the supermarket at Rundel Mall and came back with bags of bread, milk, ham, cakes and loads of fruits. For lunch, it was a simple pie affair at a cafe just round the corner from our hotel. Dinner was Pizza at a Pizza place just a street away.

Where we went:
Nowhere in particular. We stayed mostly at the hotel except for a couple of hours when Daddie and Mommie went out for some paktor time, on the pretext that they have to get some medication for Fatty Gramps at the chemist.

What we bought:
Daddie bought himself a rather expensive overcoat which looks great on him. My folks bought mesome great smelling Eukyrub and a little mermaid electric toothbrush from the chemist.

Highlight of the day:
The early check-in was very much welcomed. Friendly hotel staff and great service!

Unforgettable moments:
We arrived at Adelaide very early in the morning. It was 8am in Adelaide but only 6.30am Singapore time. My parents and fatty gramps - obviously not used to being awake at such an ungodly hour - were totally zonked out. And since i had a very restful sleep on the plane (sprawled out across 3 seats), i spent my time killing the batteries on my leapster while the old foggies catch up on 40 winks.

When everyone is full re-charged in the afternoon, Fatty gramps suddenly realised that she has forgotten to pack some important medication which she is suppose to take daily. Thankfully, we are in Adelaide and medical help is just a phone call away!

Pudge on Ice

2008-06-22T12:19:00.005+08:00

It's the not first time i've stepped foot into a skating rink.. but it's the first time i've put on a pair of ice-skates and actually skated IN the rink. Yes, i've been a "spectator" for the longest time until yesterday, when Daddie and Mommie - at the spur of the moment - decided to check out the ice skating rink at Kallang.

In the 2 hours that we were there, i experienced what it was like to go from Zero to Hero. From being barely able to move, i slowly (but surely) doddered along and through trial and error, was able to skate independently with a frame after about 30mins! If you ask me, i will tell you that it's a lot easier to ice skate than to rollerblade.

It was such a wonderful family bonding activity, we've decided to go back again today for a second round of skating. Seeing how much i enjoy ice-skating, Daddie bought me a pair of ice-skates and also signed me up for ice skating lessons, which I will start right after we return from our holiday in Adelaide.

Before i sign-off, i'll like to leave you with a video of my first ice-skating experience. Check out my perfect split at the end of the video. Enjoy!

(UPDATE: After another 2 hours of practice today, I'm now able to skate around the rink unaided. No more frames!)

My Jamie, My Sister

2008-06-22T10:28:00.004+08:00

Woke up bright and early this morning to see Jamie at Dr Ann's clinic. I've always looked forward to these sessions so i can say a big "Hello!" to my baby sister. This time, Dr Ann gave us a rather clear picture of Jamie. With her little buttony nose and chubby cheeks, Daddie and Mommie thinks Jamie looks quite like me! The only difference is... Jamie is a little on the big side whereas i've always been small and petite.

So here's a picture of my dearest baby sister at 23 weeks old, 600gms and growing well :)

I love you Jamie, can't wait to see you in October!

Reality Bites

2008-06-15T22:14:00.009+08:00

We were having a chit chat over lunch when Daddie made a comment which irked Mommie.

Daddie: Do you know that ....bla bla bla
Mommie: Don't be crazy daddie! .... bla bla bla
Me : STOP IT mommie, you married him!

~~a moment of silence, and my folks broke into laughter~~

I think sometimes the adults just need a little reminder ;P

Happy Daddies' Day!

2008-06-14T17:59:00.004+08:00

Mommie and I set out to complete a task today - to buy Daddie his well deserved Father's Day pressie. So when Daddie went out for a meeting this morning, we decided that we will sneak out of the house quickly and buy that present for daddie before he comes home.

BUT, i couldn't contain my excitment and blurted out to Daddie later that we are going shopping to get him his "surprise" wallet present! Mommie slaps her head in disbelieve that i've let out a secret AGAIN! And, since the surprise is no longer a surprise, we decided to make it a family shopping trip instead.

He sure is happy with his presents, especially with the hand-crafted photoframe i made for him from recycled materials. Goes to show, love speaks louder than dollar and cents :)

Impromptu Cooking Class

2008-06-14T17:44:00.002+08:00

Daddie called up yesterday afternoon to say that he's taking me, fatty gramps and Sati out for a Pizza dinner. But, what he didn't tell me was..... he had arranged for someone to let me have a go at pizza making! It thrilled me to bits as i get to knead the dough, roll it into a flat round base and garnish it with any ingredients i like! I made one little pizza for myself for immediate consumption and a large one with lots of mushrooms and pineapple to take home for mommie (who was -by the way- having a girls nite out with her friends).

When mommie got home, she was surprised to see the pizza i've made for her and she thinks it's the yummiest pizza she has ever eaten! Ah Kong also dropped by late that night just to sample my handmade pizza. He hasn't stopped singing praises of my pizza making skills since.

Here's a picture of the pizza i made with love for mommie.

Spending time with cousins

2008-06-14T17:32:00.002+08:00

Daddie said he was never very close to his cousins until I came along. Well, i guess the kids are the binding factor in the family. Now we spend more time together doing stuff or just enjoying one another's company. Last week, Darren and Mabel joined me at my kindergolf class and we went for a swim and a soak in the tub later. Ahh.... simple pleasures in life...

Heading South

2008-06-03T17:45:00.005+08:00

It's confirmed. We will be heading Downunder from 24 - 30 June. It's really a last minute decision. My folks couldn't decide on where to go for a holiday before Jamie arrives until about a week ago.

Initially it was a toss between Hongkong, Japan or Hawaii, but all these fell through the cracks when daddie asked mommie the million dollar question"Are you sure you can tahan the heat? These places are well known for their hot summers, you know?".

Then the answer to mommie became obvious, we will head down south to either Australia or New Zealand. However, with Daddie's work schedule, New Zealand is out of the equation coz it'll be hard for him to be away from Singapore for too long, so it was decided that Australia, it shall be!

But where in Australia shall we go???

Daddie : Joey, we are going to Australia.
Joey : Ok.
Daddie : Do you want to visit SpongeBob in Gold Coast or your cousins in Adelaide?
Joey : Cousins!!!

Now, with the airtickets, hotel and car, booked, it's Adelaide... Here we come!

--------------------------------
Some places we will be visiting
---------------------------------

1) Barossa Valley - We are going on a wine and cheese trail.
2) Glenelg Beach - Powdery sand... beautiful beach
3) Hahndorf - To sip tea and soak in the atmosphere of this quaint german town
4) Victor Harbor - To ride on the horse drawn carriage and watch a penguin parade
5) Adelaide Hills - I must visit the Giant Rocking horse which is also a toy factory!

Dora's Pirate Adventure

2008-05-31T11:34:00.005+08:00

Friday was a day filled with activities. First, it was the 100 days party in school, then it was play time with cousins and in the evening, we went for the highly anticipated Dora's Pirate Adventure show. Thanks to Auntie Sandra who booked the tickets long in advance, we got front row center seats.

It's one of the best shows i've attended. The energy level was high, show was interactive and music was great! Even daddie who usually falls asleep at such shows, had a hard time closing his eyes coz the show was so enjoyable!

The finale was an euphoria! Alot of kids (*ahem* me included) ran to the front of the stage to dance and sing along with Dora, Diego and all the other friends! I had such a jolly good time at the show. I wish someone will bring the Diego show to Singapore soon!

Next up, High School Musical on Ice on 8 August. All my cousins will be going for this show with me too..... Oohh!! i'm so looking forward to it!

Mabel and I, having a greating time at Dora's Party!

Part 1 of the show

Dora! Dora!

100 days in K1

2008-05-31T10:49:00.004+08:00

We celebrated our 100 days in K1 with a water and bubbles party yesterday. Everyone brought some food for the party and for me, i brought some yummy sausages and cheese topped with a little paper crane.

The paper cranes are made with love from Fatty gramps, who spent the whole night folding them to make my otherwise mundane looking sasauges look fun and appetising. I themed it "Fatty Gramp's Bird Park". The sausages and paper cranes were an instant hit with all my classmates and they all wanted to bring a little crane home.

The party itself, was kind of disastrous for me though, coz the watergun i brought along couldn't squirt out any water and I couldn't make any bubbles from the bubble solution. But the saddest part of all was the fact that my daddie and mommie couldn't make time to attend it. It was rather sad to see the other parents attending the party except mine.

They promised to make it up to me by taking me to a special show that night...... Check out the post above.

Bird Park in a box

Paper crane made by Fatty Gramps dearest!

Barney is a Dinosaur

2008-05-31T10:23:00.006+08:00

Learnt a new song from my cousin Darren today. Never fails to crack me up, when he sings it... Darren sure is the funniest (and only) boy in the family!

Here goes the lyrics (to the tune of Barney's opening music)

-------------

Barney is a Dinosaur
With no imagination
When he went to hospital
He died of Suffocation!

-------------

While we are at this, mommie also found some really funny barney parody songs on the internet (from stanford uni, no less!) which she promised to teach me later.... Oooh Barney, dun worry, I still love you!

Sing them to the tune of "I Love You"

I hate you, You hate me.
Barney's a stupid dinosaur.
With a kick, and a punch, we'll knock him to the floor.
No more purple Dinosaur.

And this... is dedicated to my daddie dearest.

I sue you, you sue me
legal technicalities
with a lawsuit, court order, hearing and arrest
we'll just see which lawyer's best!

All I want for my 5th Birthday

2008-05-21T10:25:00.004+08:00

Last night Mommie, Daddie and I sat in front of the TV watching one of our favourite shows "Jon and Kate plus 8". In this episode, the kids had a lot of fun at an organic farm, feeding chickens and going on tractor rides. Suddenly, an idea struck me.....

Joey: Mommie, can i have a COW for my 5th birthday?

Mommie: A cow? Where are you going to put the cow?

Joey: In the fridge, so i can have fresh milk anytime i want.

Daddie: Do you know a cow is too big for our fridge?

Joey: OK! then we let's put it in the kitchen

Daddie: So where is the cow gonna poo poo?

Joey: Urmm....... Newspapers!!!

Daddie: Do you know that a cow is about the size of vovo (sic) (vovo is the name of daddie's car. Mommie's car is named Jumbo.)

Joey: AH!!! Then we can park the Cow in the carpark, next to vovo!

Mommie: Great idea, Joey! I love strawberry milk, let's get a pink cow!

Joey: I like fresh milk. I want a black and white cow.

Mommie: Ok... let's get 2 cows!! One pink and one white!

Mommie and Joey: So daddie, are you getting us the cows? You can get yourself a brown one if you like chocolate milk.

Daddie: *pulling his hair out* (not that he has a lot of them) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Multi-Tasking

2008-05-16T20:42:00.007+08:00

Learnt a new word today - MULTI-TASKING. It's a word to describe the action of doing many things at the same time. In this instance, i'm playing with my favourite leapster game, drinking my favorite milk AND........ what you can't see in the picture ....... listening to my favorite story read by my mommie!

See, if you put your mind to it, it's really possible to concentrate on multiple tasks all at the same time. Hmm.. i'm so proud of my new found skill :)

Fritzroy Reading Program

2008-05-11T23:33:00.002+08:00

I'm getting some success in learning to read through the friztroy reading program in School.

Introducing Jamie

2008-05-03T10:18:00.004+08:00

Introducing my baby sister - Jamie Khor at 16 weeks old in mummie's tummy...

psst. everytime mommie has a tummyache, i'll get all excited and exclaim "Jamie's coming out!!"

Hatching Jamie

2008-04-22T09:02:00.003+08:00

Mommie and I had this bedtime talk last night...

Joey: I have a pouch to carry my babies next time
Mommie: No you don't you are a mammal. Only marsupials have pouches to carry their babies.
Joey: Like kangeroos? Then what is a mammal?
Mommie: Mammals are animals which give birth to babies instead of laying eggs
Joey: Mommie you are not a mammal because you lay eggs inside your tummy and when daddie give you a seed, the egg will hatch into Jamie!

Against all odds

2008-04-20T12:05:00.003+08:00

Announcing my promotion in the Khor family hierarchy. I'm gonna be a BIG SISTER in October when my baby sister Jamie is born.

I've been feeling disappointed for a month when Dr Ann told my parents to expect a baby boy. I wanted a baby sister! And so, i wish very hard for a baby sister everday and guess what? When mommie went for her ultrasound yesterday, my baby brother has turned in a Baby sister. My wish has come true!!

I guess i'm a truly blessed one. I've once wished for a portable dvd player to watch my Diego DVDs and Daddie won just that in a lucky draw.

Then there was this time we went horseriding and i said i wish i could ride on a white horse instead of a brown one, and just as my turn came, the groom changed the tired looking brown horse to a white one!

A few months back, i wished for a little sibling and not long after, mommie announced that she's pregnant!

Now i wished for a baby sister and viola, i got myself a baby sister! :)

So, here's a message for my darling parents... "Wishing against me is a waste of time"

Mind your language

2008-04-13T12:31:00.003+08:00

I think my mommie's standard of english is atrocious.... her prounciation leaves a lot to be desired:-

Joey: Mommie, can you take me and Sati to the beach?
Mommie: What do you want to go to the bitch?
Joey: I want to build sandcastles on the beach
Mommie: The bitch is very dirty you know. Why don't you ask Daddie if he wants to go?
Joey: Mommie..... it's BEACH..... not BITCH.. sigh

It's Magic!

2008-04-05T09:48:00.003+08:00

Have you ever seen a magic show where the magician coughed or sneezed into his hands and a gold coin magically appears??

I did a similar "magic" trick this morning too.... except that, in place of a gold coin (which i know ah kong will be so happy to see), a piece of crayon came out of my nose. No applause from the adults and they didn't think it was funny either. I got an earful from them instead. I was also made to promise never to stuff things in my nose again.

Tip of the crayon

Wedding Bells

2008-04-04T19:19:00.006+08:00

Our family attended a beautiful wedding last Saturday near Fort Canning. The nice garden setting was really romantic and the lunch in the old colonial styled house was sumptuous! Daddie and Mommie is contemplating celebrating Jamie's 1st month here with a bouncy castle set up at the garden area. Let's hope the venue is available when Jamie's born, coz i'm sure jamie.. err i mean I will enjoy the bouncy castle while the adults chill out at the reception.

Congratulations Uncle Derek and Auntie Daisy!

K1 and K2 Sports Day 2008

2008-03-31T17:51:00.003+08:00

It was Sports Day for K1 and K2s today. It seems to be a larger scale than previous years. I participated in 7 events this year - The 3 legged race, Raid the nest, Fishing game, Fill the bucket, Obstacle course, Bus Driver and Hula Hoop challenge.

There was also the teacher's race where they had to dip their faces into mushy jello and teacher-parent 3 legged event. Pity daddie had a meeting this morning and mommie couldn't join in the race coz she's carrying Jamie. Otherwise, it'll be fun to see my folks participate in the sports day as well.

Here are some of the photos.

Hula hoop challenge. Slow and steady.

3 legged race with my parter Kaede

Team event - Bus driver. The bus driver must pick up all the passengers

Raid the nest. The team that picks up the most bean bags, wins!

Fill the bucket. I always love water games

Fishing Game - Each team fishes out the colours of their team. I think i'm good at it

The teachers' race - see Miss Lena and Miss Iris dip their faces into gooey jello

Parent and teacher's race - They up the ante by carrying eggs on a spoon

Everyone goes home a winner!

Hip Hip Hooray!! 3 cheers for a fantastic sports day!

Trick Question

2008-03-31T14:04:00.003+08:00

I get asked this dreaded question from mommie all the time...

Mommie: Joey, who's your favourite person? Daddie or Mommie?
Joey: Both
Mommie: No No... favourite means, there can only be 1.
Joey: We are a family. Family is 1
*I see daddie sniggering in the background. hehe
