Mo's Apple


One night, Mo asked me what the small lump on Wei Wei's neck is.
I told her that's Adam's apple, which is more prominent in grown men like Wei Wei.
A girl like mommy doesn't have it and she won't have it either.

Mo burst into tears because she wants one too.

I held my laughter and tried from reasoning to making something up like there is still a chance she might grow one later.
Mo didn't stop crying until I said I will make her a fake one.
I thought she would forget about it in the morning though.

I saw this thingy on her neck when I got home from work last night.
Mo proudly announced that it 's "Mo's apple" and she will wear this apple that my dad made forever.

The Midnight Accident and Taipei Zoo





Since Jeff crashed a lamp made of glass on my head last night while I was asleep, I figured that I needed a day off.
I took Mo to Taipei Zoo to see her favourite animals.
In the limited hours we had, we saw monkeys fought and elephants pooped.
I guess it was worthy.

Hot Hot Hot



The past week was just terrible.
It felt like every one around me pissed me off for something. 
I didn't even spend that much time with Mo.
This is usually a sign that I need a whole new environment.

Things were getting better after I went to see "Ted" alone on Thursday night and had a good laugh.
I talked to some schoolmates and a old colleague on Friday.
Straightening few things out also cheered me up a little.

We spent the weekend in Taoyuan.
I woke up early on Sunday morning to attend grandpa Lee's baking lesson for pizza.
It was quite some quality time with my grandpa until princess Mo came to ask for her morning milk.
After few slices of pizza, crazy princess Mo went crazy in the park under 37°C flaming sun.
Mo passed out on my lap when the whole family enjoyed dinner together.

We took 7 colourful fishes back to Taipei.
I hope these little guys will last.
