LLMM (aka Ling Ling Mai Mai)

My LLMM has returned to France after spending 2 weeks with us.

It was a pity she had to go back on 1st June coz' my school holidays started on 1st June itself.

LLMM was complaining that she couldn't spend much time with me coz' after coming back from school, I'll be tired, have something for lunch and after that, will have my afternoon nap. And if I don't have enough sleep, I'll be cranky until my Daddy and Mommy comes back, and refused to eat my dinner. Daddy and Mommy will quickly finish their dinner, and bring me home.

Mommy said she has to let LLMM know my school schedule so that LLMM can arrange to visit us during that time.

Before LLMM left, another Mai Mai, Tiff Mai Mai came to KL for an interview (for the position of make-up trainer). She had to submit a recent portfolio of her works, so LLMM was Tiff Mai Mai's model for that day.

I was a good boy that day and didn't disturb the make-up brushes etc. even though they were within my reach. They laughed when I said, "MAI MAI BIG EYES"

Mommy said LLMM bears an uncanny resemblance to the celebrity DJ "Serena C".

LLMM, if you are here and not so far away - you could be a local celebrity too!

I got rhythm, I got music...

In case I mention "wanna go JUSCO", I'm actually referring to the play area at JUSCO shopping centers. Daddy and Mommy will make a once a week trip, or sometimes once a fortnight trip to JUSCO AU to have the car washed and stock up some groceries. It's near our house (just 5-10 minutes by car), there are plenty of car parks available, Daddy knows the car wash supervisor there and the crowd is not so bad compared to 1U or MidValley.

There's a routine we always follow: send the car for wash, then have lunch / dinner (depending on the time) at the BBQ Chicken restaurant (they fry the marinated chicken in olive oil which is Yummy!) but don't take the caffe latte or juices. According to Daddy and Mommy, the food menu is great but the drinks, not worth the price. So what Mommy does is fill my juice bottle with orange juice - although it's written "No Outside Food Allowed", I'm sure no one will deny a little boy his juice.... I wonder if they notice that Mommy finishes half of it though.

After our meal, we'll proceed to the 2nd floor where "JUSCO" is.
My sense of direction is fantastic - once I see the electrical / electronics department to my right, I will release my grip from Mommy / Daddy and run full speed towards JUSCO. I LOVE "driving" the green bus which Mommy said she will take a video of me in it the next time we're at JUSCO. And the fire truck. And the patrol car. Also, playing bowling. And playing the drums "taiko tataki" which I get to play with Daddy / Mommy. They will usually choose the Anpanman theme song first, and if they cleared the challenge level and given a free round, they will choose the Doraemon theme song.

Can you see how well I'm following Daddy's lead? I know when to beat fast, and slow down even without looking at Daddy's movement. I got rhythm, I got music, I got my drums, Who can ask for anything more?

After 30 minutes or so at JUSCO, we'll head down to the grocery department where I'll insist on sitting in the shopping trolley while Daddy and Mommy shops. Sometimes there'll be some ceh-cehs doing promotions on milk and yoghurt drinks, and if I'm lucky, ice cream (Yummy!) and I get to taste the samples.

So now you know why I love going to JUSCO!

I'm on wings!

It's rather hot and humid nowadays, so last Saturday Daddy & Mommy brought me for a swim at our condo's pool. Instead of my good ol' round float, Daddy helped me put on my "wings" coz' I'm a big boy now (2 years and 9 months old) and I should be able to "fly" on my "wings".

At first, it felt strange and scary with just the "wings". Daddy said I must have been nervous coz' I kept on singing while floating in the water, and refused to let go of his hand. They say I'm a "scary cat"....

See how happy I am with my wings.

Mommy took a video of me swimming on my "wings" with Daddy.

This time, she got the direction right. Way to go, Mommy!

Mommy noticed another little girl (around my age) who was on wings too. But she had on "OGIVAL wings" while I was on "no brand wings". My Mommy notices such things.. ...Daddy will say "frivolous things". My Daddy is very practical, you see.
