Artist @ Work

Yonks ago, K and I bought a coloring set consisting of color makers, crayon and pencils for C,D,E. They have since outgrown it and we just left it on the top shelf, clean forgotten abt it.

It has never crossed our mind that one day, our son will be the one playing with it.

Look what I found, J. Wow, this box of coloring equipments has been sitting here for ages. Since your cousins have outgrown it, I think it is time for you to inherit it. Let me get some papers for you and you can start your masterpiece.

Haha, you have made a mess of all the crayons and pencils huh? Well, I guess that's the way artist works right? Are you trying to draw a car?

When you are done with all the drawing and painting, let's stick them up on the wall so that everyone can admire your work ok?

The bear that lives in the Hundred Acre Wood

Winnie the Pooh, the lovable bear who's stuffed with fluff, is also called Pooh, or Pooh Bear, but never, ever, just Winnie. Pooh endlessly craves honey and his favourite catch phase is "Do you have any honey?"


J tenderly address Winnie the Pooh as "Poo". Poo is his favourite Disney® character. That is why we had a Winnie the Pooh-theme party when J turned one. Even at 16 mths now, J still gives Poo a hug every morning and takes Poo around the house. J also love "feeding" Poo some imaginary food.

I've always felt that J strike a resemblence to Poo when he was younger. They have the same button nose, small eyes and huge smile. However, the greatest resemblence have to be the honey-filled tummy! Take a look at the photo below. Do you agree with me?

King of Fruits

I am a huge fan of the durian fruit. I was born to eat durians. The heavenly scent of the fruit always bring back wonderful memories of my childhood days. I recall gathering in the kitchen with my family; enjoying a durian feast and finishing it off with a serving of salt water to reduce the heatiness.

Of course I would want my loved one to enjoy this magnificent fruit the way I do. Well, man propose, God dispose as I married a man who is adverse towards it. But all is not lost, as I now pin my hopes on J to become my ally in this durian conquest.

J, look this is the durian fruit. It is Mama's favourite fruit. I think it is time to induct you into the clan. Have a taste of it. Close your eyes and savour the sweet bitterness of the creamy flesh. When Mama was younger, durian was a rare treat. Thus the moment was always treated with great anticipation!

I really hope you will enjoy this fruit as much as I do. Then it can become one of those activities that both of us share behind your Papa's back.
