and now we are 40
It was my little boy's birthday today. Sam is five years old and very proud of it. He has been waiting for May 3 for weeks, asking every day: Is it my birthday yet mum? Are we there yet mum???
Sam is not your average kid. He asked for a label maker for a present, so he could "stick his name all over the place" but try as I might, not one hardware shop in Singapore stocked it. Instead, I bought him a punch ball (complete with bright red boxing gloves) to make up for the disappointment -- He seemed contented with that - and spent the entire afternoon whacking the hell out of the thing inbetween quaffing down large slices of chocolate cake and sugary jelly snakes.
Sam is a very cheerful, sunny-natured little boy which is a good thing cause I feel a little sad for him sometimes being the only little ang moh boy in his class - and trying so happily to fit in with the other kids - laughing and playing with them and sharing his sandwiches (though I think that is because he truely doesnt really care for marmalade on brown bread). The kids are sweet to him to so I guess we are not all that different deep down after all.
In a couple months i hit the Big FOUR-O ... and I am more inclined to ask: "is my bum sagging yet?
I think i want a label maker
