小雨 capered and pranced out to the balcony and pointed delightfully at her swimming suit when papa asked if she wanna "play water". Our girl has conquered her fear of water and is loving it now. Hurray!!
I have to kick that bad habit of saying "... 会生蚂蚁。" Just got corrected by Kirin for the nth time, when I asked him to help put away 小雨's milo drink from the bed. It's her little ritual to sneakily sip her morning milo in a straw bottle, with her legs tucked comfortably under the comforter.
An appropriate substitute would be "... 会引来蚂蚁。" Too proper a phrase to be used at home hor. 不順口。
Well, that phrase had been ingrained in me (and my siblings), for years, by my Malaysian-born Singaporean Mom and Dad. The things shared within a family, that you wouldn't realise until your good old buddy or hubby points out to you.
The things that make your family special.
I wonder if there are "Saturnic" (alien) words or phrases unique to my little family of three? Hm... Let me think.
Moshi Mushroom (MM) had been playing hide and seek with Yang. All the trays at BreadTalk were full, if not 3/4 full with freshly-baked buns, but MM was out of sight. O by the way, I still hadn't found the answer to why sugary buns sitting in bakeries 不会生蚂蚁。Oopsy!
These days 小雨 hopped or tried to hop more than she walked.
She asked for yoghurt while watching Hi-5 on TV. It's like having popcorn or nachos while catching a movie at the theatre. A form of chillaxing must-have.

Strawberries in yoghurt is like popcorn or nachos at the movie theatre
It took me quite a while - about 3 weeks, to realise the goodness of a two-bedder with an open-concept kitchen. Whether I'm washing away in the kitchen after dinner or airing my handwashed clothes at the balcony, I could see, hear and feel Kirin's and 小雨's presence. It's that nostalgic feeling of togetherness I missed, back in the 1-room HDB rental flat with my old family of six before we moved to a bigger flat of our own. Where I wrote my ABCs, took my meals, naps, had my playtime, watched Ghostbusters and enjoy my milo from a milk bottle while watching《金童玉女一線牽》before bedtime. All things happening with my family in that same less-than-45sqm space - a study room cum dining room cum bedroom. 3-in-1.
一廳一房怎不夠 我有你便足夠
你看璀璨鬧市美不勝收
愛裝滿 一家兩口
有燈火的四周 能共對等於富有
不擔心 想要都供給你
全盤花心機 有哪個可相比
原來小空間
世界要廣闊也要有內涵
想分享一張被單
期待重頭來過請你揀

Tried a bavarian tart Dunkin' Donut after dinner, The light bavarian cream is a blend of whipped cream and yolks-only egg custard (oopsy that sounds cholesterol-high).

Bavarian tart Dunkin' Donut
A variation from the usual custard buns. I like.
We had ♪two "monkeys" (小雨 and papa) jumping on the bed♪ tonight. I was playing mama who called the doctor before standing in as a jumping monkey too, after Kirin declared he "bumped his head" and needed a break.
And she was fast asleep at bedtime. No dawdling around the house or playing on the musical toy. Our conclusion: Jumping on the bed like a monkey raises serotonin and improves sleep.
I used to pen recipe notes in cutesy notepads. Not anymore now, as I store them in my iPhone which contributed to its recent dementia. I wonder what I could share with Shirokuma, Neko, Pengin?, Zassou and their corner-living buddies in this Sumikko gurashi notepad?
Beautiful lyrics!
