Teacher Kayzia
This video was taken in 4th Oct 2005.(sorry video not well taken)
KaFoo was trying to teach us 123 or ABC.
She was doing what the teacher normally does in the school.
MaFoo pretended not paying attention in "class"
I was asking for biscuits.
KaFoo was 2 years and 9months old.
KiFoo was only 2weeks old.
Those days were so funny.
some of Kayzia's words were
"look look"
"take picture, take picture"
"ten minutes can eat biscuit"
"A is to ? 1 is to? 2 is to?"

What would you do? (1)
Place: Market coffee shop.
Time: Morning.
Incident:
You got your coffee, just made payment and about to leave.
There were 7-8 fellas behind you.
Just then auntie (in her late 50s) came right in, cutted queue, made her order.
What would you do?
hightlight below.....
What I did:
I told her “ Auntie, please queue up”
She went “ Ah Di, none of your business”
I went “ You cut queue, go queue up like everyone else”
She went “you kapo, I order first cannot isit”
As she went on grumbling, I walked off (more interested in having my breakfast) I didn’t think anyone would have said no to her for jumping the queue, IF she had asked. Don’t get me wrong, I think the elderly do need more attention and help but I don’t think they should abuse it and take advantage of others. Will I do it again? What do you think?
Place: Crowded MRT.
Time: Rush hour.
Incident:
You could not board the train cause it was too packed.
You were now first in queue for the next one.
People started queuing behind yellow diagonal line, leaving the front empty.
Just then uncle (in his late 50s) came right in to that empty spot, cut queue, then look at you.
What would you do?
hightlight below.....
What I did:
Actually in this case, I didnt have a choice.
Why? Cause the uncle went, “ Why, what u looking at? not happy isit?”
I went: “ Uncle, there is a queue, you should go queue there”
He went “What, you bully oldman? Why not u talk to others who jumped queue?”
Er, he was the only one standing in that "keep clear" area.
I went “Cause you are the only one that cut queue here!”
This happened right infront of everyone. MaFoo told me to stop talking to him and let it go. Train came, we boarded, I kena bothered. Again, I couldn't stand this sort of attitude.

Enrolling KaFoo for a course.(Roller blading)
KaFoo is coming 5. For the record, we have not enrolled her to any course to “boost” her intellect or discover her hidden talents (in the form of music or dance). Basically we (especially me) wanted her to be around us more often (Nothing wrong if you are sending your kids for classes, just our preference). Anyway, I got this call from my friend, Oma,
“Ah Foo, any plans tomorrow (Sunday)? We (Michelle) bringing Marteen (their son) to East Coast for blading lesson, do you think Kayzia will be interested?”
Hm. Sunday afternoon, as always, is our family NAPPING time (the kids need it, if u read my last post or see the pics, you will know who really needs it!). Just in case you start thinking that the Foos are a batch of slackers, we are always busy in church from 9am till 2pm. PaFoo asked KaFoo if she wanted to give it a try. She replied, “YES!”.
We met at East Coast Hawker Centre area, carpark F1 at about 3pm. There are 2 groups of experts teaching blading, one by the carpark and the other is further in. As we were not sure if KaFoo would like to blade more in the future, we asked the person in-charge if it was all right to pay for 1 lesson instead of the full course. They were so kind that they let KaFoo use the equipment and even have a personal coach to teach her for free! (I would strongly recommend anyone to learn from them, they were very patient with the kids). After putting on the gears, KaFoo was all ready to hit the road. “Hold on” said the coach, "got to start from the grass/sand area first." She started off well but ended slightly discouraged after many falls. We kept encouraging her not to give up (since it is free). How about KiFoo? That boy was busy eating and eating and eating Michelle’s (or it is Oma?) homemade cookies, his favorite hobby. We had a great evening.
Last night I asked KaFoo if she wanted to go bladding again. She said no, (which I am fine), as she sniffed her baobao (bolster) before she meets Peter Pan in her dreamland, she went “I want to hold Marteen’s hand” Did she means hold Marteen’s hand for support during bladding or just hold his hand.... Hm... Good night darling….
