I can’t hear you

You know when your parents just keep talking and telling you NO, it can get really tiresome and rather annoying to hear them say the same thing over and over again.

Here’s a really cool trick that I discovered accidentally. I find it quite handy so I will share this special tip with you!

Earlier this week as I was having dinner, mom & dad had started to sing their same ol’ song of ‘No-No-No’ again. And I accidentally put my two index fingers in my ears. I noticed that their annoying voices had lowered quite significantly and I could not hear them as much. You must put both index fingers in each ear simultaneously for maximum effect! Of course you still hear a muffled sound, but no annoying “No-No-No don’t touch that”, and “Finish your meal otherwise no dessert!”…

One really cool thing about this technique is that you can have a bit of peace and quiet, and they have no clue that you’re no longer listening to what they’re saying. I confirmed this on several occasions, where I discreetly applied this technique and they just keep on talking and talking. This worked on mom and dad, so trust me this Totally Works…and They are absolutely clueless!

Try it out and let me know if it works for you!

PEACE

For months now I’ve been trying to practice the peace sign – so I can pose in photos like all the Japanese Girls do…Afterall, I am a Sumo Girl…

Unfortunately, my fingers are stuck in this position, so I guess this is going to have to do for now. Anyhow, I think it still looks cool – my own signature Peace sign!

Besides, let me see you try to bend your index finger like that…Not so easy huh?

My version of the Peace Sign!

 

Oscar nominee – who me?

It’s too bad the 2011 Oscar awards were already given out in February. Tonight, I gave the performance of a lifetime (I know I know, you may think it’s not that long – no need to brag right? but I’ll have you know that I’m into the double-digit months already!!).

Although it may have been short, my performance this evening in the ‘I’m in so much pain/distress, please hold me in your arms!’ scene was truly Oscar-worthy. You can ask my parents whether they concur, but I suspect they will considering I had them ‘going’ for almost 5 minutes.

It all started when mom took out my toothbrush, which is the first sign that bedtime will be coming soon after. I began with a slight whimper, but mom persisted with the toothbrush, so I slowly increased my volume and pitch. Since there was no change to mom or dad’s reaction, it all crescendo’d into a heartfelt, full-bodied cry of desperation – on my knees, arms dangling on mom’s shoulders, my eyes closed, tears running down my face…It worked! The Meryl Streep in me kicked in…Now my parents, with a concerned look on their faces, started to hold me in their arms and caressed me in an attempts to console me. It was great – they had no clue of my plan,… that is, until the tears started running out and I lost my concentration and opened my eyes to see their reaction…

Instantaneously, my parents saw through my act and started to laugh hysterically. I tried to continue my performance but I also started laughing between two sobs… my performance was thus cut short.

Since my first week, I’ve been aware of my potential talents as an actress. Perhaps with some practice, I will be able to perfect my skills and who knows, I may one day get to hear the words:

…And the Oscar goes to…Little Sumo Girl…

Watch out! Here I come…I can now walk, and nothing’s going to stop me! I’ll walk over those toys lying around (oops, those are mine!), I’ll walk over your arms and legs when you’re sitting on the ground, I’ll walk over that super-sized cushion too…

Big or Small, Hard or Soft, I’m not afraid…I can walk over you, and without any shoes on too!

You can call me the Little Sumo Bulldozer!

New drinking apparatus

Just when I thought I’d mastered the basic functions such as ‘drinking’, I discover there are new ways of making this daily activity even more fun and interesting!

I’ve never been a pro at ‘drinking’ – it sounds silly but this is not something that comes naturally you know! It takes practice and training, and learning the appropriate technique also helps. Since birth, I’ve been spending alot of time and effort trying to become more efficient at drinking ‘from mom’, the bottle, the non-spill baby cups – with and without handles, and then there was the basic cup. The latter still gives me some grief… Mom & dad still won’t let me hold my cup on my own, as a change of clothes would be required each time. Personally, I wouldn’t mind cuz I could then change my look more often, but this would require more investment in my limited wardrobe…anyhow, that’s an issue I need to discuss with my parents…

Recently, I was introduced to a new drinking apparatus. We were at the resto, and mom started putting this plastic tube in my mouth. I had no clue what to do with this, so I started chewing on it, like I do most things that go into my mouth…Kinda boring and uneventful. Then, my parents showed me that I needed to suck air from this tube and within a few seconds I had a surprising rush of flavours in my mouth… Sweet banana-strawberry-mango lassie – yummy for the tummy! I liked it so much that I finished off half of mom’s drink in only a few minutes.

New drinking apparatus!

Drinking from a ‘straw’ has been the easiest drinking technique to learn, thus far! No special technique is really required, and it is much cleaner than the other methods, most of the time! And in general, when a drink is presented with a straw, it’s usually some kind of ‘cocktail’ that beats drinking plain ol’ milk or water 🙂 Bring it on…Cheers!

My new Super Power

My first Super Power was being able to bite people when they least expect it. I’ve just discovered that I have the power to squish food between the fingers of my right hand with uncomparable force, and make juice out of Anything! I am the human juicer!

Not exactly sure that this Super Power can help save the world, but so far, it at least helps me to disintegrate yucky food that I don’t want to eat in only a matter of seconds! …Now, if only I can figure out a way to get a magic glove to appear when I’m ready to Super-Squish something – that way, my hands won’t stay sticky all day…
