追梦（明星梦？）

昨天我们全家人去看了五月天的《追梦》3DNA电影演唱会。今天，回家的路途中出现了这样的一段对话。

（在车里，她要争听原声带的《知足》，我要听《倔强》，两人相持不下的时候...）

媛媛：爸爸！我长大要做五月天！
爸爸：har?不可以啊！不可以去“做”五月天的。
媛媛：（不服气）为什么！
爸爸：因为就好像你不可以做ultraman 一样lor。
媛媛：Ultraman是假的嘛！五月天是真的。
爸爸：呃，对咯！就好像你是黄靖媛，你不可以做Denise还是Teryl（媛媛的同学）的咯。
媛媛：（沉吟片刻）爸爸！！那你带我去看真的五月天！
爸爸：可是五月天的票很贵的叻！
媛媛：我要看真的五月天！我要看真的五月天！
爸爸：这样啊...不然爸爸带你看Mickey Mouse Musical好不好？
媛媛：好！！！我要看Mickey Mouse Musical!...可是五月天叻？
爸爸：Mickey Mouse Musical的票也很贵叻！看了Mickey Mouse就不可以看五月天了。
媛媛：（失望）Har~~~~~~~~?!?!?!?
爸爸：不然我给你选啦。你要看Mickey Mouse还是五月天？只可以选一个。
媛媛：呃...嗯...啊...我要看五月天。
爸爸：好，那就五月天咯！
媛媛：耶！！！！！！爸爸爸爸！《知足》！！（五音不全）怎么去拥有一道彩虹、怎么去拥抱一夏天的风、天上的星星笑地上的人、叽里咕噜叽里咕噜足够...

A GREAT Day!

It has been a long while that we packed the whole day full of activities! The morning began Clement bringing Jaimie to Jurong Central Park to play her scooter which she got yesterday while I did my grocery shopping in Jurong Point. Then, we met at the McDonald's for a sumptuous breakfast.

After that, we went home. Clement and Jaimie went for a dip in the swimming pool while I spent the hour doing housework. We were all looking forward to the afternoon program -- Mayday 3DNA Movie/ Concert at GV Marina! Clement and I watched it last Friday. We loved the movie/ concert so much that we decided to watch it again and this time, we brought Jaimie along.

Jaimie was super happy to go to the cinema! She might be small but she is a big fan of Mayday, just like her mommy!! Errr.. Jaimie, we need to take another shot. Please point somewhere else...

Yeah!

The audience was taking photos in the cinema before the show began, just like what we usually do before the concert starts. Some people even brought in the trademark blue lightstick into the cinema! Wow!

Jaimie really rocked with the songs! She was singing ALOUD (and I really meant LOUD) and waving her hands in the air while kicking her feet. After the movie, she made 2 comments. (1) the music was too loud (2) please bring her to a real Mayday concert. Dear, it is going to be even LOUDER in a concert! How? And I am not going to pay $168 for your ticket and get you ear plugs.

Dinner at Just Acia. The little girl ordered cheese rice with fried ebi. She ate half the portion and showed me her big and round stomach to convince me that she was very, very full. Then, she ate some ice cream. Hmmm...

Her drawing has improved lately. She added many details to her pictures.

This was Mr Bump (from Little Men) falling off the ladder while trying to repair the chimney. The drawing was dedicated to her daddy.




Mommy gets a princess picture. On the left is Rapanzel and her tower. On the right is Cinderella with her glass slippers... if you can tell it's a glass slipper.

All I can say, is that today is a GREAT DAY!

Waka Waka!

Jaimie rehearsing at home. I think this is for her kindergarten graduation concert. I am not very sure! She does this African inspired dance often at home. She is also dancing to a Chinese opera song. Hmmmm... my little star going international?

1st Half Marathon and a Marathon Week

This September is a memorable one. I did my first half marathon and in one week, I did a marathon's distance worth of exercising!

4 September 2011 - SAFRA Bay Run/ Army Half Marathon, 21km.
With encouragement and challenges from my running buddy Wolfie, I completed my 21km in about 2hr 30mins.

I was in quite good form that day and ran the entire 21km. So proud of myself! My average speed was 8.4km/h.


7 Sept 2011 - MacRitchie Resevoir, 10.5km

From the fun photos you know that we didn't run. We walked (exercised our legs) and talked (exercised our mouth) and laughed (exercised our facial muscles) for 10.5km. We took about 2hr 20min.


8th Sept, 10th Sept 2011 - 2x5km on treadmill

I ran at 10.1km/h and 10.2km/h for 5km on the 2 days respectively.

In total, I did a marathon distance in a week! :))

Now, my resolution for 2012 is to do a full marathon in 6hrs!

I hope I will be able to do that!
