Statue

Sophie was mimicking the statue in the background without us noticing. We then persuaded her to do it again for the camera.

Managers are as good as Doctors!

After dinner, Sophie passed me her lollipop which we promised she could have after she finished her rice. Struggling to get the wrapper off, I dug, and peeled, and turned it round and round to get a grip.

Sophie waited patiently for a while, then quipped, "Managers* cannot open lollipop, is it? Maybe we need a Doctor."

Bengang! (stunned and speechless in Malay)

Thank you Mamma

Children really spring surprises when you least expect them.

After her bedtime stories and songs, I said good night to Sophie, to which she replied, "Thank you Mamma, for cooking the rice for me today."

Beach Boys

During the Christmas/New Year stretch, YL had a bright idea for an impromptu picnic at East Coast. He throw leftovers from the Christmas/New Year parties together, and voila! that was our picnic lunch at the beach.

YL is always up to no good on the days we get out of our routine. Sophie is inevitably his partner in crime. See example below:

Here they are, apparently posing for an innocent photo.

In fact, it was a ruse to get Mamma close enough to bombard her with sand.
