I love National Day

Ever since the school started to prepare En Xi for the National Day celebrations, they have been incorporating the national day medley songs as part of their daily choir practice.  En Xi seems to be hooked to singing it, and she can sing all day whether she is painting, bathing,  before bed and not forgeting..whenver she sees a Singapore Flag.

I never knew that our national day medleys can have such an influence on her!  It has definitely made it to her top 10 Billboard KTV list, replacing "Happy Birthday" as the most sung number.

Here's her rendition of the 2 favorite songs.


p/s Thou she didn't quite exactly get every word correctly, but I have to say I enjoy it anyways!

Princess Pink

Call me Princess Pink ok!

Since a few weeks back, you have officially proclaimed yourself as "Princess Pink" & try to associate anything you can to be "Princess Pink".

The Rock-Pink look

• You only want to change into this only pink bubble-dress pyjamas we have, else you will go hysterical and wail as thou it's end of the world.  Once you have successfully coerce us with your emotional blackmail and squeeze yourself into the pink frock, you will point to yourself and say "I Princess", complete with a 360-degrees ballerina spin. (p/s Whenever it rains, we will get very stressed cos it means that you pink pyjamas may not be dried in time...that means that it's trouble for us again)

• When we start counting the characters in "Twelve Dancing Princesses" story, you will go "1, 2, 3 ....12 and ...(pointing to yourself) 13."

• Whenever you see Mummy in this particular dress, you will say "Mummy, Princess"and insist that Mummy do the ballerina dance number, just like the way you did.

• Once Daddy tries to tease you and say you are too fat to be a princess (while pointing to your inflated tummy that forever looks like you just had 2 bowls of rice), you will get upset and insist firmly "I Princesss!"

• You try to change the lyrics of this alphabet phonics song to suit your Princess fetish.  This is how it goes, "Itchy Princess (instead of the original "Itchy Insect"), I, I, I.....this is the sound I hear".

Your extreme obsession with pink color...that's one of the constant headaches we have every day.  It started with your shoes, as you will not wear any of them except the pink one. Even if we managed to tactically trick you into wearing another color, you will eventually find out and insist that we removed it immediately (even thou we are walking in the middle of the road).  You always have an issue with your uniform (which is not pink) and insist that we change you into some pink top or dress that you have picked.  Even when it comes to brushing, you will always choose the pink toothbrush, despite it being so old and worn. And when it's bathtime, you refuse to bath till we wave some pink outfit at you.

It can be very trying sometimes, especially when we try to dissuade you from looking like a pink panther.  But it will never pass your "screening" check in front of the mirror, and we have to remove anything un-pink.

Pink makes En Xi happy!

Nonetheless, that's what make you sooo cute. Mummy was exceptionally relieved that you have inherited the genetic vain DNA from me.  As for the longest time, I was getting quite worried that you may turn out too boyish since u are never the typical girl-lish persona.  

I'm Mummy's Mini-Me

My relatives always tell me that you are just like a mini-me, and reminds them so much of me when I was young.  The only contention came from PoPo cos she always feels like you are the much dare-devil version (unlike me, who was most of the time sitting quietly at one corner and barely could be heard).
