Walking with Dinosaurs

Are the dinosaurs ready yet?

This is my foot.

Ma and Mo were all excited.

Dinosaurs are back!!!

We love dinosaurs!!!

I took Mo to Eslite Book Store after work looking for more dinosaur books on Saturday.

On Sunday, we sat in Royal Host and Sogo the whole afternoon staring at the clocks and waiting for the show.

These big guys really attract us for some reason.

For weeks, Mo's bed time stories came from a big illustrated handbook about dinosaurs out of her own request.

My efforts paid off and she therefore recognized every dinosaur in the show.

I am glad that Mo shares the same interest with me.

I guess she might study science too as her mom is half a scientist.

The show was really cool.

A paleontologist walked us through the time to see the evolution of continents, vegetation and of course-dinosaurs.

Mo waved her little fat hands to say hi to every dinosaur.

However, even the most fearful creatures ever walked on earth couldn't see what's coming.

T-Rex mommy had saved T-Rex baby from any predator, but not from the nature.

All the dinosaurs looked incredibly real including the 36 feet tall Brachiosaurus.

The only thing missing was just the ground-shaking movement since the big ones run on the wheels .

It was a super great experience except that there was an annoying asshole sitting next to us.

P. S. When we talked about the show, Mo always focused on the fact that we had to watch it in the chairs. I think that means "It's a show." in her language.

Biking/Grandparents' Day

I haven't had this heavy exercise since I was pregnant with Mo...

I rode that with Princess Mo at the back seat and tried to catch up with my university friends roaring past on two wheels for 15km.

Mo enjoyed the green view with breeze all the way and She was so excited about feeding the goats.

My butt hurt the whole weekend.

I miss sweating a lot as I rarely get the chance to exercise without Mo's company.

Thanks to the government.

These well-organized bike trails along riversides are certainly good places to go for leisure.

We don't even have to worry about the bikes since there are bike rentals at major sights with very good qualities.

I can't wait for the day that Mo can ride on her own.

Everybody knows that Mo talks like me.

For some reason, She thought the biking was a fashion.

Mo repeated "時尚的感覺" on her princess's ride for 1000 times that day especially to uncle 勇力 with his UV protection hat on.

We all laughed our asses off.

Mo and I then rushed to 霧峰 with Jeff for the opening of ACES new school on Sunday which ended up with some "get wasted" party as usual.

I couldn't even figure out what he was saying when he finally took my call and we were already on our way back to 台北.

But anyway, we got to see my grandparents and we always had a good time in that house.

We went on the Ferris wheel in Miramar!

I was taking Mo to the Lego show in Miramar actually but it was more like a big sale and rather disappointing.

I thought there would be big cool staff built from Lego bricks...

Mo got her first Lego set and She refused to buy the baby ones.

The poor Lego set will probably have to wait for a couple of years before Mo can actually build something.

We had some bar food in 金色三麥 and then took our ride on Ferris wheel.

It is funny that I haven't been on this huge landmark before until now.

I guess I rejected it because only couples do this stupid thing in my mind.

I am glad that my first Ferris wheel ride was with Mo.

Mo was super excited about the altitude and her mom however was a bit nervous to be honest.

I grabbed the handle and tried to be casual while she jumped up and down singing and shouting in our little cart.

The view was certainly great.

We also play the roundabout and we were the only customers as that was like last 5 minutes before closing.

As for Sunday, it was the standard "Alice Cafe-Swimming-NY Bagels".

Fuck Chinese Valentine's Day Fuck Jeffrey Joseph Kuhel

I hate Valentine’s Day since I knew its existence.

People already fuck every day.

Why bother to create another special day for it.

So what did I do on Chinese Valentine’s Day this year?

"My husband” and I shouted “FUCK OFF” and “FUCK YOU” to each other.

It‘s not the first time obviously.

How romantic it was.

Technically, he shouted at me and I couldn't say anything because Mo was there too.

So I am going to respond now.

I am sorry that your parents didn't teach you anything so you think you win the fight by using the word fuck every second.

I am sorry that your parents didn't teach you anything so you have all your excuses for being selfish.

I guess American schools failed to show you how to be a man too.

YOU FUCK OFF and FUCK YOURSELF

I have work to do too.

I need some time to rest too.

And I have a daughter to take care of, YOU ASSHOLE.

I remember I didn't do anything special either on 14 Feb.

Jeff disappeared the whole day and I took Mo for a MRT ride.

But I did buy myself a new bag and Haagen Dazs this time.

FJU Bio 92/Park/Romano's Macaroni Grill

I took Mo to the gathering of my university mates in TELAMO.

Half of the class was there with all the boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives and children.

I hadn't seen some of them for years.

It's funny that some friends last forever even you don't see each other very often and some friends are just lost in time no matter how close you were.

We talked just like 10 years ago and reviewed our youth together through a well-prepared video.

Even Jeff the Liar couldn't destroy my good mood.

We had a picnic in the park with our homemade beef sandwiches and spent the whole afternoon there.

Mo is getting socialized now.

Watching my own baby girl asking other kids "What's your name? Do you want to play with me?", I can't say it's the pride or a sense of loss.

I think Mo is seeking for companies other than the adults around her.

She even asked for a new T-Bone the other day.

Mo probably doesn't realize I am capable of getting her a brother or sister yet...

The reason that I had never been to Romano's Macaroni Grill is simple.

Because Jeff likes it and I am not going to eat with a bunch of annoying foreigners.

I couldn't think of anything for dinner at Sunday night and there Romano's Macaroni Grill was.

I had sole and the buy-one-get-one-free pinkish wine.

Mo fell asleep after the big meal.

For months, I finally got to enjoy my dinner without feeding, cleaning and arguing.

It was good I had to say.

The environment was great.

The food was great.

The music was great.

Papers and crayons were just on the table so Mo had something to play with.

Forget about Jeff, I am definitely going back there soon.

Winnie the Pooh Musical

A Saturday without Mo, I didn't like it. (She went to some body's wedding with Jeff.)

Mo was expecting Winnie the Pooh Musical on Sunday for months.

I told her Winnie has been practicing singing and dancing and the day finally came.

The whole place was full of kids and parents.

This is some joy I probably wouldn't understand before I had Mo.

The story was about a perfect day and the surprise party that Winnie the Pooh's friends were preparing for his birthday.

And guess who the hosts were? Mickey and Minnie!

Seeing those guys from the books singing and dancing in front of them was making kids crazy.

They love it.

I was quite excited myself actually.

There were opportunities to play with the characters.

It was more like a game rather than just a musical show.

Mo was scared by the clowns at the beginning and she just wanted to sit back and see Winnie the Pooh quietly.

I was so elated trying to touch the giant vegetable blooms bouncing toward the audiences but Mo stopped me.

Thank God she started to be more involved near the end of the show and call Winnie the Pooh to his birthday party with everybody.

Mo enjoyed the show and she was very satisfied with Winnie the Pooh spinning thing, Winnie the Pooh cup, Winnie the Pooh book and Piglet bloom she got.

We went to Page One and Cold Stone after Winnie the Pooh Musical.

And then... Mo's left arm got hurt when we were playing "1, 2 and 3" on the way home!!!

Again, she was sent to the emergency room but the cranky princess Mo wouldn't let anyone or anything touch her besides her mom who was serving her.

Helpful Jeff was helpful as usual getting drinks and complaining about the x-ray system in Taiwan while I was getting all the paper done, trying to calm Mo down for the examination and talking to the doctor.

Fortunately Mo's arm is fine and she is now ready making troubles all over the house again.

PLEASE GET OUT OF OUR LIVES!

Jeffrey Joseph Kuhel is the most selfish person I have ever met.

I never regret that I had Mo, but I wish I didn't marry Jeff every single second.

I have great patience for kids.

But every time I think of "My Husband", I lose my temper at Mo.

Last night I yelled at Mo when she was crying for candies and broke the living room door when the fucking drunk was trying to get into the house in the morning.

I feel deeply sorry to Mo.

I try really hard to adjust myself from a wife at the beginning to a single mom with an annoying roommate today and I still lose control sometimes.

My anger and myself are going nowhere because Mo is there crying.

I don't want this bull shit marriage cause any influence on Mo, especially her relationship with me.

How much exactly should I bear so Mo can feel complete?
