Motorbike Riding


Every weekend, my folks and I visit Nyai and Yai, my paternal gramps over in Clementi. There are lotsa food and snack there, and when they feel generous - which is almost always - Nyai and Yai would have some new toy waiting for me. Much to the frustration of Abah and Mama. my folks can't stop them from buying, so they've resigned to just telling that the toys must not be more than $5. Abah reckons he didn't get a lot of toys when he was younger cos they were saving up for toys for their GRANDSON.

Another thing I love ( though I've done it only one grand time) is Yai's motorbike. I've gotten a ride on it and it's super! Yai had given up riding, he's 77 this year, but Bibik Oya's hubby gave his up cos they had gotten a van - so Yai's got a new bike! Check out my World War II German soldier helmet!

Wednesday Nights

About the only thing that my Abah is good at doing - certainly not updating this blog - is taking me to the library every Wednesday night. I usually stay at home on Wednesdays with Bibik, and when Abah and Mama get home from work, they usually just grab a quick bite. Then off we go and walk for, oh, maybe ten minutes at most, to the Jurong West Library. I just love it there. They've got fancy teeny chairs and tables and of course, lotsa books.

I can sit there all night cos they've got books on monkeys and tigers and tractors and all. Abah says on his off days, he can sit in a library all day too, enjoying the books and magazines. We found this book on Big Yella Trucks & Diggers the other night and it's really sweet with all the pictures of Scoop, and Rolley and Lofty and all. There's also this very huge poster on the wall with cows and other animals. And that's really nice too, that's why Abah's included the pic with me in the foreground.

I love Wednesday nights ;-)
