Men are kids.


Spot the plane.

Denson the baby bought himself a plane and was happily flying it downstairs. Poof, the wind came and plane went into the tree. Stuck. He got his basketball down and started throwing it at the tree to free his plane. Then guess what, people who were taking their evening stroll stopped and crowded around out of curiosity, especially when the plane was so deep inside that it was invisible. Embarrassed, I conversationally mentioned about the plane to clarify that Denson is not some maniac who throws basketball at the tree, sending broken branches onto the ground. The most dreaded thing soon happened; his basketball got stuck in between the branches too! And hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I almost fainted. Well, the story ended with a hero (a passerby) climbing up the tree and freed Denson's basketball and plane.

The news said there will be an increment in foreign student's school fees.

Early in the morning, I received a call from my mother.

Mother: Did you read newspapers?

Denslin, still sleepy: Huh?

Mother: Huh what huh! The government is going to increase your school fees! You better start studying hard and get a scholarship to university. Or amitabha.

After some thoughts, mother apparently doesn't think that it is foolproof to pin all hopes on my results. She called again.

Mother: Hai. Why don't you go check out it you can be a Singapore PR since you've been studying here?

Denslin: Hai. It's impossible.

Mother: GO AND CHECK IT OUT!

Denslin: Ma, why don't I get married to a Singaporean now?

Mother: ...

You know what is one of the best things about going away?
It's coming back.
