Things We Can Put On Pixel's Head And Back

On my sis' last day here in S'pore, we spent an amusing afternoon balancing a variety of the small fry's toys on Pixel's back and head and taking photos of them.

Sis took the pix and she assured me that she'll post them up when she's free.

So here's a list of the things we balanced on the fat cat's back:

1. A variety of balls
2. Small fry's wooden teapot and a teacup on saucer
3. Wooden toy salt and pepper shakers
4. A wooden cheese sandwich
5. A platter with egg, sandwich and bun on it
6. Various plastic shapes on his head
7. A book

In all our attempts, the boy was more than obliging to keep still. Right up until the salt and pepper shakers at the end; they rattled and he wanted to swat at them. And then I told sis that maybe I should do a photo a day with different objects balanced on the boy's back or head.

Now there's a thought.

The Best Sister in The Whole Wide World

Did I mention I have the bestest sister in the whole wide world?

"Use me when I'm free," she said. And I did. For trips to immigration, for doctor's check-ups, to the airport, homemade dinners, etc. She's been a fortress of support.

Thanks, Ling. I love you!!

Shout-out to Sis

Thanks for dropping by to clean the litter today. And the mess that Meg left behind on the couch, urgh!! Although you did almost scare me out of my skin at the front door...

Abused

"Euw! What happened to your leg?" sis points out to the pink blotch that's been ornamenting my lower right leg since gawd knows when.

"It's a pregnancy blotch. I don't know what it is but it doesn't itch. It's just there. There's more! I started sprouting more on my knees and thighs too."

"Oh, oh...and check out the bruise I got from banging my leg into the bedframe!"

"Aiyoo!"

"Eeeuuuwwww! And what's this?" She points to a scar on my left arm.

"Oh, that's a remnant from a mosquito bite."

"You look like you're a victim of physical abuse!"

"Oh yeah. Here, check out the healing cat scratch on my upper left arm..."

Akad Nikah

Last night...

Sis: I've never been to an akad nikah before. What do I have to wear?

Me: Eh, didn't you go to mine?

Sis: No!! Everyone was there except me. Mee said I didn't need to go.

Me: Eh, but she would have told you about it.

Sis: She said I didn't need to go...


This afternoon...

Me: AL said you told her that she didn't need to go to my akad nikah last time.

Mom: It was a weekday.

Me: Yeah, I remember.

Mom: She asked if it was OK if she didn't go. She said she couldn't take leave. So I told her it's OK if she can't go.

Me: Hmm...
