Why was dinner so late, mommy?

Answer from mommy: It was not because dinner was so late, my darling... It was because you had had a big day, swimming and playing and then refused to go to sleep in the afternoon. You kept going and going... and when mommy served dinner at 6, you insisted on feeding yourself and next minute when mommy looked at you, you were deep in your dreams...

Another blast from the past - my first birthday

While still on the festive feeling of birthday and christmas, mommy just pulled this photo out... my first birthday.. we all happened to be in singapore with my auntys and ama n akong. Look at the photo, mommy said it's me.. but it looked like a baby photo. That's what I said when mommy showed me the photo and asked me who it was, I said 'Baby!'.

My First Christmas Tree

Yipee... I got my first Christmas tree. Mommy and Daddy helped me put it up. There were lots of glittering stars, shiny balls, eggs (well, they just shaped like eggs, so I called them 'eggs'), santas, a pussy cat, a doggie and lots of little angels too. I handed them one by one to Daddy and he helped hung them to the higher part and I hung on the lower part of the tree. Oh, and if you see carefully, mommy bought me a little village with a choo choo train going around with lots and lots of lights... very pretty... And you know what, mommy got the most interesting part, tidying up the mess! hehehe... I helped though.. I am a good girl!

The Big Red Car

Looovvveee the Wiggles....

Action with Santa

Jingle bells.. jingle bells... jingle all the way... I met Santa last Sunday at Casuarina mall and mommy took some photos. Wow.. he is soo coool. He's got lots of white hair and long white beard as well. Geez, I wonder if he felt hot when he walked out of this air-conditioning mall...Just pretending to be shy...
Santa gave me some presents and I gave him a big hug...

Oh, and here I have been practising the 'Jingle Bells' song at school. The original one...

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

not the aussie version like the one below...

Dashing through the bush
In a rusty Holden Ute
Kicking up the dust
Esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side
Singing Christmas songs
It's summer time and I am in
My singlet, shorts & thongs

CHORUS:
OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
ON A SCORCHING SUMMER'S DAY
JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE

Engine's getting hot
Dodge the kangaroos
Swaggy climbs aboard
He is welcome too
All the family is there
Sitting by the pool
Christmas day, the Aussie way
By the barbecue!

CHORUS

Come the afternoon
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go
We take a family snap
Then pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up

CHORUS
