I have started eating rice and I can now eat on my own, which means that I'm a GROWN UP! Yay! It's so fun being a grown up because I can now eat colourful food instead of the bland boring porridge I've been given for the past one year.

Although I can now eat on my own, Nenek still prefers to feed me because she said I take a long time to finish my food and I always make such a mess.

I have been sick these few days. I sound so nasal and there's mucus constantly flowing out of my nostrils. Emak and Nenek took me to the Children's Centre today and the paediatrician said that I need a lot of rest. I think I miss Ayah too, who is away in Australia.

Emak was so impressed with my good behaviour at the SSO concert last year and Disney on Ice last month that she decided it was time to expose me to plays. So last Saturday, we went to catch my first play, 'The Sound Collector'. The play was about a noisy girl who liked to disturb her neighbour with the many sounds that she made. Her neighbour, on the other hand, was afraid of sounds. One day, the noisy girl woke up to realise that all the sounds that she liked had been stolen by the sound collector. It was an interactive play and when the audience laughed, I made sure I laughed hard too! I was attentive throughout the one hour play and Emak and Ayah decided that I am ready to watch more plays. Immediately after the play, Emak queued up to purchase tickets to 'The Selfish Giant' but the queue was so long she gave up after 15 minutes. But I'm sure Emak will find other means to buy the tickets so that we can all watch the play.
While waiting for the play to start, I posed outside the theatre and chewed on a straw.

Emak got me my own ticket so I had a seat all to myself, with a booster seat on it but I hated it and ended up sitting on Ayah's lap throughout.
Check out the cute props for the play.
After the play, I went walking around Robertson Quay.
After that. all of us were hungry and went for dinner.

Last Friday, I went to Abang Faris' house and saw a drum set. I really liked it and kept playing with it so Emak got Ayah to buy me a set after we left Abang Faris' house. I've been drumming for days now, much to Nenek's annoyance. Hehe!

Yesterday, while Emak was busy chatting on MSN with Auntie Audrina, she put me right in front of the radio and made me listen to "Red Hat, Green Hat". Then, I unexpectedly said "red hat, green hat" in sync with the characters on the show! Emak got such a shock she screamed for Nenek and Nenek panicked because she thought I had puked. Haha!

Nenek just scolded Emak ( as usual) and said, "Tak habis habis Emak kau ni dengan computer. Orang dah ada anak duduk jaga anak jangan asik nak main computer aja!".

Last Sunday was a terrific day. After Seimpi, we rushed down to the Indoor Stadium to catch Disney on Ice. I have been waiting for more than a month for this event. Emak and Ayah were very proud of me because I was very well-behaved throughout the show. I even clapped dutifully and shouted "yay" at the end of each performance!

Since I can't get on stage, let me take a picture near the stage.
The place was pretty crowded but Ayah bought us first row seats so we had unblocked view of everything.
And that's me waiting anxiously for the event to begin.
This couple actually posed for Emak to snap a shot of them but Emak forgot to turn on the flash!
That was Mickey in a hot air balloon.
The tickets that got us in! These tickets have been stuck on the fridge door for more than a month!
The toy soldiers.
Everyone's all-time favourites : Mickey, Minnie and Donald.
MY favourite, Minnie Mouse!
Alladdin and the genie.

The multiplication of genies!
Nemo!
I'm sure what these were but they looked like a bunch of high school band members.
Pinochio and Gappeto.
Mulan!
The Incredibles!
At the end of the show, all those who sat in front got to shake hands with the characters. Ayah said that was the best part of the event.

i had a fun time today! After Seimpi, we went for a walk at the Botanic Gardens. I walked so much and saw a few black swans! After the walk, we went for lunch at Orchard before heading home.
Yoohoo! Where's everyone?

Check out the swans! They seem bigger than me!
At night, Emak and Ayah took me for another walk. We walked from the Asian Civilisations Museum all the way to the gorgeous Fullerton Hotel. The area was so beautiful and lively.
We also went to catch an exhibition at the Arts House. It was a very interesting exhibition on self-censorship, held at the Chamber of the Old Parliament House.
After that, I attended my very first open air concert. There was a band on stage and people were just sitting on the grass listening to their music. One of the organisers gave me a luminous light to be worn around my wrist but Ayah could not figure out how to fix it so I ended up putting it in my mouth instead! I had such a tiring day I fell asleep on the way home in the car.
