Winnie the Pooh


Mo's summer uniform has a Winnie the Pooh on its back and we all love it.
We took the new winter uniform home last week and I thought It's such a pity that there is no Winnie the Pooh on it.
Mo went into her room without saying anything.
Five minutes later, she came out the room with her uniform.
Now there is Winnie the Pooh and it's even better than the one for summer.

Noodle and Cup Cake




I spend a lot of time making plans for weekends and holidays.
However, it is always the family's company that makes the days memorable.
Here is one of those simple but great days without going somewhere or eating out.

The lunch for this nice sunny Sunday were home made noodles and cup cakes.
With my grandpa as our personal tutor, we did a pretty good job.     
We saw him again excising in the park and walked home for dinner together before we were back to Taipei.

Bad Piggies


Last night, Mo and I sat in the living room comfortably and saw the news about a series of activities in Taipei for the launch of bad piggies, a new app game.

It was already 9 pm.
Mo turned to me right away and asked to see the bad piggies.
I told her it was all over now except that we might still have a chance to see the bad piggy shown on 101.
Well, I shouldn't add the last part about 101.

We ran out the door to catch the bus and got there like 10 minutes before the closing time.
Because of the excitement, all the pictures we took were out of focus.
Both of us went home with great satisfaction though.

Mo, here is another one of the crazy things that we did together.

Merry-Go-Round

Tea Time in Europe

Merry-Go-Round

Ferris Wheel

The merry-go-round goes round and round.
The children laughed and laughed and laughed.
So many were going round and round.
That the merry-go-round collapsed.

Mo has been singing this merry-go-round song that she learned in her English course for weeks.
I thought it would be fun to actually ride on one during the time.
Unfortunately, the drunkard ruined the weekend again, as he had done so many times in past 5 years.
All I can remember now is Jeff Kuhel is a total jerk.

Ma: The next song you are going to learn is "Jimmy Crack Corn"!
Ma: 下次要教的歌是 Jimmy Crack Corn 耶!

Mo: So are we going to crack some corn?
Mo: 所以我們下次要去 crack corn 嗎?

Ma: ...

The Art of The Brick in Taipei









I love LEGO. (Who doesn't?)
So of course I wouldn't miss the exhibition.
I know one thing after we saw it: nothing is limited.

I think Mo's favourite part was that Nathan Sawaya built himself a dog named "Boxer" with bricks when his parents refused to let him have a real one.
She took the DM to school and introduced every piece of works that we saw to her classmates the next day.
Mo got a big compliment for that and came home with a big smile.

Ghost Festival and Grandparents' Day

Offerings for Ghost Festival (a. k. a. Zhong Yuan Pu Du) and Pizza Making Party on Saturday Night

Grandparents' Day in Grandpa's New Favourite Restaurant on Sunday

The super star Mo had quite some performance this weekend and every one in the family was made to be her audience.
I hope I could finish editing those videos someday.
It was actually the first time that my grandpa heard of Grandparents' Day (the official one) though.

Lively and Lovely


Feb 2012
Mo danced in my Hunter boots.

Mo: Did you feel bored before I was born?
Mo: 你還沒把我生出來以前是不是覺得很無聊?

Ma: Why were I bored?
Ma: 為什麼我很無聊?

Mo: Because you didn't have such a lively and lovely little girl running around you!
Mo: 因為那時後你沒有一個這麼活潑可愛的小女孩在你旁邊跑來跑去丫!

Ma: ......
