The Singapore I love.
The hardware shop in my neighbourhood just started business for the day. The boss was busy pushing the racks out.
Me:老板, 有卖小孩子的椅子吗?
Boss: 有! 你给我一下子, 我把这些推出来.
Me:老板, 慢慢来.
A Malay man came in and wanted to look for something.
MM: Brother got XXX or not.
Boss: Abang wait ar, I push this out then I get for you.
MM: No problem brother. You need help or not?
Boss: It's okay.
Boss: 小妹, 我推这个出来你就可以进去选.
After pushing out the racks he went to get the stuff that the Malay man needed.
Boss: Abang, this type can or not.
MM: Can lah.
I chose the chair and paid at the counter.
Me: 老板, 謝謝你.
Boss: 不用客气.
MM: Ehh brother Thanks ar.
Boss: No problem.
We might not speak the best English and Chinese but it's these little things that make us Singaporeans. Let's all come together and make this country a better place by simply showing each other some courtesy, respect and help in our daily lives.
A better nation starts from YOU and ME.

His little chair.
We have been wanting to get him a chair so that he will not always need to sit on the floor. Last weekend we headed to IKEA and went home empty handed. We actually spotted 2 little chair but it's simply not worthwhile to spend $60++ and $100 for just a chair that they will out grown.
I found this chair at my neighbourhood's hardware shop. It only cost me $8.90 and it will let out a loud beep if it's well sitted.
Forever so cheeky.

Happy Mother's Day.
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers especially to those "special" mothers. I know how it feels when people gossip behind our back, when people give us the abnormal stare and when people simply just come up and say "Hey your kid got problem".
To hell with all these nonsense, our children are definitely more than worthwhile. Every child is uniquely special in their own way and behind these "specialties" it's none other than a GREAT Mom.
Hubby bought me a Kate Spade bag as a gift. (Never mind about the hoo-ha on Miss TPL.)

General Election 2011
There were many 1st time in this election:
-1st time Singaporeans talk so openly about politics.
-1st time so many people went to support Opposition Parties' rallies.
-1st time people cheered openly for Opposition Party winning the election.
-1st time many people voted without fear.
The other day we had a family trip to IKEA, while having lunch we overhead a group of ladies discussing positively about politics. To our surprise they are a group of young ladies likely hood to had just graduated from University. This show that Singaporeans even the younger generation is more involved in the nation issues. This election has been a wake up call not only to the ruling party but also many Singaporeans not to be too complacent.
I can't help but to feel sorry for Mr Chiam for losing Potong Pasir. I'm quite sure although he lost the election, he has win many Singaporeans' respect. For a man who love his country and fellow country mans. For a man who gave so much to this nation and still believe in giving despite not being in the pink of health. I really salute and respect you from the deepest of my heart.
I'm hope that the ruling party will keep their promise of listening and empathise more on the citizens. I don't think we need a country with a highest GDP with their citizens barely catching up with the pace of life.
Below are some point I hope to see in the next General Election.
-Bukit Batok is at least a SMC. If Radin Mas and Bukit Panjang can be SMC, I don't see why Bukit Batok should be part of Jurong GRC.
-Fairer allocation in GRC system. (My gf who stay in Chinatown is being allocated to Moulmein-Kallang GRC.)
-No more of using upgrading as "bait" for voters to consider.
-No increase of deposit for any contesting party.
I hope in the next 5 years I can see the below:
-More accountability of everything.(Esp when a mistake is make.)
-Minimum CPF withdrawal date to amend back to 55 years old. (For goodness sake these are pple hardearned $$).
-Solutions for overcrowding in public transport.
-More help given to the poor and old.
-Making HDB flats more affordable to everyone.
-Tighter control of influx of foreign workers.
-Review on our education system. (We are suppose to educate them not train them.)
-More entries allocated for Singaporeans in local universities and more bursary given out to students to help cope with the school fees.
The General Election 2011 had been one of the most heated up election. Many people say the biggest winner is Worker's Party. Deep in my heart I feel that Singaporeans is the biggest winner. What have we won? We win our nation pride and took a step to true democracy.
I'm also happy that we have all been very civilized thru out the General Election. That is what I can't see in many neighbouring countries.
The General Election has come to an end. May I urged every Singaporeans to come together as one and continue to contribute positively to our nation. This country is worth we protecting and fight for, as this is a place we call HOME!!! Let us progress as One united people, one united Nation, One SINGAPORE.
Well done Singaporeans!!! Just like Mr Chiam, I love my country and my fellow country mans.

We went to the Zoo Zoo Zoo - Part 2
Lets continue with the photos.....
When I was young, I love this station the most. I recalled that there was an area explaining about the process of hatching of chicks. Rabbits and hamsters were also displayed and the best thing was they can be carried and cuddled.
We then proceed to the highlight of the day, the water area.
He cried when he realised that Mommy is not joining him.
After having some fun with the water, we proceeded to the animal's show.
The cheeky, hardcore fan of the show! LOL!
Can u spot a lady covering her mouth in the picture? I guess many are like her, surprised that we allowed our child to touch such a big dog. Some pple even think we are lunatics to allow our baby to play with our dog. Unfortunately we are not the "social norm" parents and I believe that if 1 do not even know how to show kindness to animals who are believed to be lesser beings than us, how can he/she be kind to their fellow beings.
This is the place where we had our lunch, as usual everything is overprice.
My mummy says I can't suck my fingers and thumb, so I suck my toes.
