Let's go swimming!

Depressed Mom after Oral Disaster

It's OK la! Now we can go to the park everyday!

Depressed Mom Again and Mo Watching Skating

Dinner with Wei Wei in 京星

Sunday Brunch in NY Bagels

Wait! Let me make a good one.

Ready for Action

Crocs for Everyone

I took Mo to the park after my oral disaster on Saturday and had dinner with Wei Wei.
The weather was nice on Sunday.

We went swimming after brunch in the newly built Xinyi Sports Center and had dinner in 和民.

I love swimming pools, especially the swimming pool close by.

Mo was a bit scared at the beginning but could not resist the elephant slide after all.

She enjoyed being "Mo Mo Fish" a lot and went for the slide for 1000 times.

It took me an hour to get her into the water and two hours to get her out.
As usual, Jeff disappeared in 5 minutes.
We stepped out the building when he was talking to some guy and bluffing about how much he loves his daughter.

Yeah... He loves his daughter so much that he rather had beers with some stranger instead of swimming with her.

Well... It would be such a great day without the selfish asshole.

Mother's Day 2010

This was my third Mother's Day.

Mo was only 5-month-old for the first one and I was in England for the second one.
She gave me this on Sunday morning and actually said "Happy Mother's Day" to me.
I almost burst into tears.
Thank you, Mo Mo.
I like it very much.

As my mom and I, we were in the cold war again.
I was pissed off because I felt my mom is confused about her role as Mo's grandmother.

She obviously thinks I am not good enough to be Mo's mother, but she is.

My mom is vain.

A mixed baby like Mo would be a perfect accessory for her.

I don't remember she had that passion for children when I was little.

What could I say if my own mother wanted to replace me?

I broke the ice and suggested a day trip to 菁桐 for the seasonal blossoms.
This old mining town with previous Japanese style is always a pleasant place to visit.
On the way home, we found another interesting spot 望古.
The station is so small that I think even the local trains are not stopping here.

At the end of the day, my mom and I were talking again.

But I have the feeling that this fight ain't over yet.

Mommy's Kiss

Princess Look for Jelly's Wedding

Mo wipes my kiss off her face recently.

Ma: 你幹麻把媽咪的親親擦掉!? Why did you wipe mommy's kiss off!?

Mo: 我是在擦旁邊的地方啦! I am wiping somewhere else!

Ma: ......

Ma: 你幹麻把媽咪的親親擦掉!? Why did you wipe mommy's kiss off!?

Mo: 這裡還有剩下一點點ㄚ! There is still a bit left!

Ma: ......

Mo Mo and Mommy

When Mo saw something small and something big close together, she called them "Mo Mo Something" and "Mommy Something".
In her world, "Baby" equals to "Mo Mo".

"Baby Elephant and Mommy Elephant" is translated as "Elephant Mo Mo and Her Mommy".

The little thing she says always makes me so happy.

Here comes T-Bone. Here goes T-Bone.

I like Dogs, but I never had the urge to actually have one.
Jeff made up the whole story so I would take T-Bone back.
I couldn't help but wonder if he lied too much he didn't even noticed he was making things up.
This time, his friend was leaving and nobody could take care of his little puppy.

The poor little guy was all ready as a little girl's first dog and he might be sentenced to his death if we weren't taking him.

Mo was super excited about the idea that a doggy is coming to live with us.

What else could I say?

Therefore, T-Bone arrived at the Saturday night.

He turned out to be a wild dog Jeff's friend caught in the mountain and he was definitely not a puppy.

But T-Bone was calm, relaxed and polite.

I only heard him barking once because I stepped on his foot.

Mo held his leash to show him around and checked on him almost every minute.

The next morning she jumped up from the bed and the first thing she said was "Is my doggy awake yet? Can I play with him now?".

T-Bone ran away when Jeff was going to put his new collar on.

The idiot just removed the old one then let go and lost the sight of T-Bone when he was getting his scooter.

I did everything I could in following days and people kept calling me to tell me where T-Bone might be.

I realized Jeff wasn't even trying to find T-Bone after all these and his excuse was "T-Bone was a wild dog and this was his choice.".

Why did you guys catch him from his mountain in the first place then?

Mo is too young to feel sad, but she is still asking about T-Bone sometimes.

I hope he is fine now and I could see him someday in the neighborhood.
