A very big milestone took place on Aug. 4, 2006. That Friday, Kayrin, Ivan, ma and I made our way to Dr. Loo & Foo's clinic. It was Kayrin's second visit to the dentist's chair. The big step was that she allowed Dr. Foo to clean her whole set of teeth! The last time, in February, she would only have four front teeth cleaned before she declared she had enough.
And so on Friday morning, she climbed onto the dentist's big blue chair after Ivan had his last fillings of teeth (the fourth or fifth visit for him!).
As soon as Kayrin got onto the chair, she looked up at Dr. Foo pleadingly and said:
"Please don't pull my teeth."
Dr. Foo took it all in his stride and asked if Kayrin would like to have her teeth brushed instead, and to that, she said a definite "yes."
So it went on for about 15 minutes, I guess. Seems to take longer than that because I was more anxious than I'd expected. After the first rinse, Kayrin said she didn't want anymore. But Dr. Foo managed to persuade her to sit down for "a bit more." And hooray, she did. So proud of her!
And Ivan, ever the curious one, asked Dr. Foo for his age. It's 46.

Art Attack
Kayrin and I went on our girls' day out yesterday.
1-Utama it is, cos Shaw Feng said I should let Kayrin enjoy an introduction to arts. A visit to Art Attack at the new wing was an eye opener. Kayrin finished an hour of activities and brought home a mobile fish aquarium. The fish was made of transparency, and painted her favourite colour -- green! When she got back and showed it to Shaw Feng, it was with these proud words: Happy Father's Day to you, Daddy!

Woan -- One Month Has Passed
A month has passed.
Thirty sad days and many long nights,
where we wondered how you are.
In Heaven, enjoying yourself, of course!
Silly ce, you'd say, Woan.
That's where the days are fair
bright and beautiful
For you to grow all the flowers
and bake to your heart's content.
Close to God
We know we will see you again
One day you will show us what you'vedone there.
Beautiful plants in a row
Plenty of cakes to show!
