Papa asked zizixuan a question and zizixuan gave a fabulous answer.
Papa: do you love mummy?
Zizixuan: yes
Papa: Why do you love mummy?
Take a moment to think what answer you would give.. is it cus she clothes you and feeds you.. cus she raised you.. cus she treats you well?
Zizixuan's answer: Because she is my mommy.
That answer, sweet and straight to the point.. It is as simple as that and it ought to be so.

Last night me and wanjia were accusing zizixuan of destroying the internet modem as my laptop was just not connecting to the internet! so frustrating.
This is where brothers and sisters are useful in venting..
Me +wj: what did you do to the internet???
Zizixuan: I didn't tamper with it.
Me +wj were shocked at his vocabulary..: where did you learn that word from?
Zizixuan: Oh I picked it up from the TV.
Zai leh my brother.. At 9 his vocab is like mine when I was 14.

Hello we went to the Night Safari and Jurong Bird Park during the holidays because I thought Zixuan was very bored doing nothing at home and then Caleb very kindly offered to bring us both to play.
So nice....
In cute Cal's car.
Caleb prepared some goodies for us in his orange bag for the three of us.
I don't really have any inspiration of any way to write this post but I feel the need to in case next time Zixuan complains that we didn't bring him out to play when he was a kid.
If that comes up I could show him this entry as proof that he went to the Night Safari and Jurong Bird Park on the 28th and 29th Dec 2009.
I will also tell him that he learned many many things from the Night Safari!
Zixuan asking me if there was someone manipulating the wayang figures behind the screen.
I told him yeah the zoo people paid somebody to hide behind the screen all day for the wayang show.
See, he learnt something.
I also encouraged him to use the pots from our house to make musical instruments.
Mummy won't scold you! Really!
Zixuan if you chew bread very quickly, and spit out really quickly as well, you can blow fire out of your mouth.
Like them!
Then when your mouth is too hot you eat ice cream.
I was very annoyed that the two scoop of Ben & Jerry's ice ream costed $13.60.
And the ice cream made Zixuan cough just a little bit the next morning.
Because it is such a big deal in the house when my brother coughs, I decided to conceal the fact that the icecream from the night before might have caused the coughing.
Won't say who bought the ice cream for Zixuan.
We started touring the Night Safari.
It was darker than I expected..
Most pictures look like this one below.
This made Zixuan very afraid.
Thats Zixuan and Cal walking across the suspension bridge.
Zixuan kept saying he was scared and was groaning softly.
Cal tried to reassure him.
Cal: Zixuan don't be scared. You're a man.
Zixuan: What man?! But I'm a child!
If he says that then I guess he really does have a right to be afraid.
Caleb and Zixuan looking at the map for the nth time. Looking for the Leopard Trail's leopard.
Found it! Leopard.
Zixuan is looking at the map yet again.
Zi xuan saw me and the lady busy and came over to help.
Zixuan is really helpful.

I'm really happy that my bro and Caleb are getting on so well.
:)
My brother's approval was apparent the other night during my relative's wedding dinner which Cal also joined us to attend.
This was what happened..
Cal: Which part of the chicken do you want?
Me: Please take for me the piece with the least bones.
Cal: Ok. Then he put the chicken head on my plate.
My brother who had taken all that in, commented that
"now you have found the right guy" in a singsong tone.
My brother also showed that he cared for Caleb's role in my life when he asked me a few questions just now.
Zixuan: What will Caleb be to your baby if you give birth.?
(I was puzzled.)
Me: Har.? The father?
Zixuan: No, I mean, what if you get married to another man?
(I was at a loss of words. Then my mother chipped in.)
Mummy: Uncle la!
Zixuan: 叔叔 ! I know.
Mummy: But by then Caleb will hate Er Jie to the core.
Zixuan: But he will still be an uncle to the baby right?? He will like the baby but not the baby's father!
This conversation was so weird.
My mother then explained that a person can only find someone he/she loves very very very very very much and then be let that someone be your partner for life.
Mummy: So, you understand?
Zixuan: NO!
Before my mother further elaborated to him the marriage theory Zixuan spelt out
K-N-O-W.
I know! Not No!
Wah so irritating. And cute.
