Just couldn’t hack it anymore…
… i just did it today.
Got off the phone from call to the parents. He needs a full-time “driller” with qualifications, a systematic method and fluency in Cantonese. My half-baked chinese and constant sign language, only serves to confuse the poor boy.
Relieved in a way about that. Now I can go on to other stuff.
Sis is off back to Korea this Thursday and parents going back to Melaka the week after. Tempted to take a week-long break…. i need it right now.
In baby news… Boo turned two last Monday. Oh my sweet baby…. all grown up now…
She can count to ten, sing twinkle twinkle little star and recognises over 200 pictures…
I wanted to compose another poem for her, but havent gotten round to it. Wonder how her birthday was… she had a rocking pony on her first birthday and a huge purple rosette that said, “I’m One!!!” . She was also still chubby then and her hair hadnt grown out nicely like it has now.
I miss her so much. I really wanted another BabyBoo very much.
I have such a soft spot for baby creatures. Last month, was at Chinatown at 3am to have a go at the Hokkien Mee there. We passed by this cat and we thought a dead rat that the cat was mauling.
As the cab slowly moved by, we saw that it was actually a kitten. A baby kitten. Not moving at all, just laying there like a broken doll. Quite a contrast from baby kittens I’ve usually seen at my friend’s place - all hyper and prancing around and always up for a playful romp with my friend who is immensely good with animals and has a houseful of cats with cat fur everywhere.
And here was this little kitten, with little, little limbs, and little little paws just lying there at the roadside. What if it were a human baby? I was veeeeeerrrrrrrry upset about that. Was sure my friend would be too.
And then had a nightmare about it, few days later.
Dreamt i was hanging out with Boo’s mom and dad…… and then suddenly i was in a field with long grass, the sort of long grass that you step into gingerly cos you never know what’s really laying on the ground ie. baby chickens, chicken shit etc etc.
And there were dead kittens everywhere.
