我：黑蚂蚁是好的还是坏的？
志聪：好的
我：那红蚂蚁呢？
志聪：坏的。它和黑蚂蚁打架。
我：你是红蚂蚁还是黑蚂蚁？
志聪：我是人啦！

GUG lesson 4
We had our 4th lesson today at GUG. We learned the no. 8 (again?) & the letter J. Words beginning with J~ Jump, Jungle, Jam, Jellyfish. For art, we did jam tasting. Not so much of art work but rather, we tasted different kinds of jam, one at a time & also mixing all together. Teacher Devi & Teacher Aze say we wouldnt be given biscuits as not all of us can eat??? I can! Anyway, Mummy took my finger & dipped into each favor - there were Apricot, Strawberry & Kaya. I love Strawberry the most; I dipped my fingers into the strawberry jam many times.
We sang our usual "The Wheels On the Bus Goes Round & Round", Old MacDonalds and of cos, nt forgetting my bubbles session. (Note from Mummy: I am beginning to understand wat some Mummies say abt GUG - dat the lessons were repeated).
For story telling, it was ....oh no...i forgot again..."In the Jungle", i tink was the title. We learned abt the diff animals living in the jungle. And lastly, not forgetting my zoophonics ( somehow i was rather restless & kept pointing to the door; it was already 5.15pm)
I tink i am the one one at every lesson, who cannot sit still, so much so dat Mummy has to tempt me with my baby bites. Well, on a lighter note, i am nt the only one who cannot sit still...keke.

You know wat the lady say: " then u stand here & wait lor. When no body else come to redeem their balloons at the end & we still hv extra, we will give it to u" Aiyo... 小姑姑 also say hw do we know if anybody coming to redeem anot...siao! Forget it la... Mummy say she go buy 1 pkt of balloon for me better still. Dun need to wait.

Me & my lantern..Sick again...
Mummy: Lionel is sick again. Since last sun's outing, he was complaining of tummy ache & diahorrea. Ah Ma scolded us for allowing him to eat too much rubbish at the air base. We gave him sausages, yam paste with ginko nuts, prata, cup corn, etc...
The doctor says that he has too much wind in his tummy. And he was also running a high fever. So he prescribe 4 different types of medication; paracetomol for fever & 3 others which i dun know the names as the medication are nt with me now.
Today is Sat; almost a week. Yesterday, he didnt not complain of tummy ache & nt once did he hv loose stools. So we thot he shd be on the road to recovery. My sil bot him to Sin Hwa (at Chong Pang) for tui na. The sinseh says that since there is alot of wind in his tummy, tui na will help to expel the wind. Okay...so we thot he shd be ok liao but who knows, late at night, he start complaining of tummy ache & yelling away in pain. Ran to the toilet 4 times.
He looks like only skin & bones now; cannot take in food; watever goes in, comes out. Haiz....only can take in porridge with light soya sauce for taste. And becos porridge digest easily, he gets hungry very soon. But Ah ma says cannot eat too much also... so the poor boy is always complaining of hunger. People who dunno thot we are ill treating him.
He has not be going to sch since Tues when sch re opens after Teacher's Day. The doc did mention that the virius will spread, so refrain fr going to sch until he is better. His chinese teacher called me the other day & ask wat happen to Lionel; hw come he has nt been coming to sch. I told the teacher he was sick & still sick. She noted his condition & hopes he will recover soon. She says she misses him.
=============================
Lionel: Daddy also sick. He was coughing away since Tues, then the phelgm reported & then tis morning, he totally lost his voice. Mummy now communicate with him using sign language. Mummy bot for Daddy 2 pkts of woods lozengens (spelling?), telling Daddy its very gd since Mummy had this experience b4. Mummy yelled after Daddy as he gets into his vehicle for work, to remember to eat the "sweets". Ah Ma scolds Daddy for not drinking more water. Mummy always says Daddy is a camel. And u can never catch Daddy eating fruits; unless the moon turns pink.
=========================
Mummy: And i tink Rachel is gg to fall sick soon. She has been sneezing non stop tis morning. Ah Ma says look likes she is gonna hv flu. Oh no! I hope not!
The whole family gettin sick. Me too! But i m not sick physically but rather, sick with my job that i just tendered my resignation last mon. I am sooooooo @#%* with my imperfect perfectionistic manager (is there such a word?)
