OK, I guess
I cannot be in denial anymore. Frappy, my baby, remember? That tubby little wee
thing that got everybody went all mushy with her expressionless face and
sweet, silly smiles? Well, she’s not that little wee thing anymore! /wails!
She’s a
girl now, a big girl who knows how to work her heels (ok not for real, but she
loves to put on heels, correctly at that! Where lah did she get that from?!
/shifty eyes); she wants to explore places (on her own) and is not shy to make
new friends (it’s simple really, just open your mouth and say HAI!!! And then
smile. There, you just got yourself a new friend. Simple but profound wisdom);
she eats big people’s food; she answers back (!!!); she says xie xie (thank
you) when given food or helped without being prompted; she puts away her toys
(!!!! sometimes only haha); she is imitating speech, a lot. You should really
see her when she’s watching her walt disney’s animations; she’d get very
engrossed and babble along with the characters as if she wrote the script. Just
yesterday, mickey from the mickey mouse clubhouse asked his audience to say “oh
toodles!”, frappy did just that. She said Oh tootoos!
She is doing
so many things these days - some new, some old but more refined and
sophisticated, it’s scaring me sometimes! I mean, like, noooo stop! Stop growing
so soon! Just stay and be that little wee thing who weighed a ton with all the
oh-so-squishable fleshy chunks like that Michelin man for awhile, won’t you? Lookit
you! You are all slimming down (except for the tummy haha!) and elongating! You’re
wearing dresses and look properly like a lady already, except shorter. Much shorter.
But no,
time says no. She has to grow, keep growing and moving with every tick of the
hands on the clock. Oh how that pains my heart my dear frappy! But it’s a joy
to be able to grow with you, I’ll have you know that missy! You are such a joy
to be around with (but I’ll also have you know that you’re such a pain when you’re
stubborn and so loud it’s embarrassing -__-). You know, when she knows I’m
feeling under the weather, she’d come over and hold my arm, and when she hugs
me, she’d give my back a gentle rub and my shoulders a baby squeeze! Such a grown up
my goodness! Just stop! You’re giving me heartache just thinking about it!
Haiks. All I
wanted to do was to pen down a few happenings from yesterday, the 7th
of May 2012 – Frappy’s 2nd birthday; and of course I had to be random
and go all over the place! Hehe. Ok then, I’ll leave you with some memories
that no money can buy – my family came visiting (my parents just got off work
and had a flight to catch this morning!), my brother sponsored the most
delicious berries pavlova, and a group of our friends came celebrating the
special day with us! It wasn’t a planned party, I was just going to
symbolically give frappy a cake-cutting ceremony and call it a (birth)day, but
Ju organized a whole bunch of dear friends over (on a weeknight! You guys make
me cry!) and suddenly we have ourselves a party! And these people even brought
gifts! I feel so loved whenever I have people coming by our house, and this is
not even my party! Ugh. Why am I sucha mush!
At one
point my mom was asking me, rather suspiciously, "these… are frappy’s friends? So
old?"
Nawww, mom!
They are not old. They are gold!
Ok, I should
really stop, this is turning into an essay (that, and also I’m typing this whilst
standing, with frappy clinging to my leg like a koala to a tree trunk, and oli
grabbing my toe, like… like, oysters stuck to pier stilts. So very abruptly,
and very cliché-ly, blessed birthday my sweet mocha frap! I hope you had an
awesome time last night with your family and friends, donning new dress,
sunglasses, fairy wings, eating that fancy branded pavlova with fingers, and
simply being an all attention-grabbing star! I love you too much, baby! Just
don’t be annoying ok? xox
