My First Blog

Hi, I am Kristian. This is my first blog. My papam decided to stop my other website because he said this is easier to update and has a better layout. I call him (my dad) "papam". I don't know why he doesn't like it, he always tells me to take out the "m" at the end. But I think "papa" is so common and overused, "papam" is unique. Anyway, I think I'll call him papa when he's around. Yes, that's me in the photo while waiting for my airplane going back to Singapore.

This morning was the first time mama is going to send me to school. Papam is talking on the phone, mama said he has an early meeting so she has to be the one to send me to school. I am excited because we're going to take the taxi (mama can't drive). We took a blue taxi to school. I was hoping we could ride a yellow taxi but I think only the blue ones are available today. Mama asked the taxi driver to wait for her at the school's parking lot while she walked me towards the school. She needed the taxi again to go to her office.

Mama can only send me up to the school's receiving area so I said goodbye to her before I walk inside the school's premises. Then suddenly the lights went off and then on again. Later in the afternoon, my papam and I found out that it was mama who made the lights to go off and on. She thought the switch is for opening the front door but turned out to be the main light switch. Oh my goodness, mama!

SpongeBob Squarepants in Singapore

Yesterday was a very special day for Kristian because he was going to see SpongeBob Squarepants live in Singapore. The show is entitled SpongeBob Squarepants Live! The Sponge Who Could Fly! The show is supposed to run from 31 May to 6 June 2007 at the Singapore Expo Hall 3. We bought the tickets for yesterday, June 2, as it was a Saturday.

It was Kristian who first saw the advertisement on a big billboard. He shouted "SpongeBob, there!" in the car while we were driving along the Expo drive. At first I didn't understand why he shouted SpongeBob until I saw the billboard myself. And then he said "I want to watch SpongeBob in Singapore."

He was already feeling sleepy when we put on his clothes yesterday and was fast asleep when we arrived at Singapore Expo Hall 3. He was still sleeping when we got to our chairs. We tried waking him up but it doesn't seem to work until all the children made a loud noise. He looked very surprised seeing all the people in one big room then he realized that we were supposed to watch SpongeBob. So he stayed awake until the show has started.

He was very happy watching SpongeBob and would laugh aloud occasionally. It was a musical and we saw several characters like Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles, Sandy Cheeks, Eugene H. Krabs, Gary, Plankton, Larry T. Lobster and a lot of Jellyfish. It's just too bad that photography is not allowed during the show. All in
all, it was a happy show about making dreams come true that even adults will enjoy.

Kristian got his first star

Yesterday, when I picked up Kristian from school, he was very proud showing me his right hand with a red star on it. The red star was drawn on top of his right hand probably with a red ball point pen.

The school director told me that Kristian's teacher gave him a star for being very good in school. The star was for his coloring skills. The teacher said Kristian is very good that he is able to color within the image.
