During our recent trip back in Sitiawan during the CNY break, Caitlynn and I were playing and making quite some noise..

Papa: Children! It’s late already….please don’t make so much noise.

Ah Por: Yeah. Silence is golden.

Me: Huh? Silence is golden?! What is that?

Papa: It’s just a saying…silence is golden.

Me: No la…silence is not golden.

Papa: Then, what is silence, Collin ?

Me: Silence is SHHHhhhhhhh…

Ah Por: Collin, what do you like to play at home?

Me: I like to play lego block, doodle board, masak-masak…

Ah Por: Orh! What food do you cook when you play masak-masak?

Me: Chicken, Soup, Fish…

Ah Por: Wah…next time Ah Por come to KL, Collin can cook for Ah Por, right?

Me: Huh?

Ah Por: Maybe Collin can cook Assam Fish for Ah Por to eat?

Me: No lah…..my fish is not real food lah. Toy only…

Ah Por: ?!

Ah Ma: Collin, are you excited about your new little brother coming soon?

Me: Yes!

Ah Ma: When your Didi comes, Caitlynn will be promoted to Jiejie and you will be big brother to both Caitlynn and your new baby brother!

Me: Yeah!

Ah Ma: So Collin, remember you must always be a good role model to your Meimei and Didi, ok?

Me: OK. I will be good role model.

Ah Ma: You have to always take care of them OK?

Me: OK….but…

Ah Ma: But what, Collin?

Me: But then, who will take care of ME?!

Ah Ma: ?!!

After a bath, Papa started to put on a black T-Shirt with a baby Cheetah on the front.

Papa: Collin, do you know the cheetah is one of the fastest animals?

Me: Really? What about leopard?

Papa: The leopard is also part of the cat family, but it is not as fast as the cheetah.

Me: Orh….but this is only baby cheetah wor..

Papa: Yes, when it grows up it will become an adult and can run very fast lor..

Me: But how can the baby cheetah grow up wor? How?

Papa: What do you mean, Collin?

Me: The baby cheetah is on my shirt wor. How will it grow up?…

Papa: ?!!

Papa: Collin…do you like to be a superhero?

Me: Yes, Papa.

Papa: So, what is your superhero name?

Me: Huh?

Papa: You know, like Batman, Spiderman, Superman. They all have a special superhero name.

Me: I am just superhero Collin.

Papa: Don’t you want some special superhero name?

Me: Erm…yeah.

Papa: So, what superhero name do you like?

Me: Erm…

Papa: SuperCollin? Collinboy? 

Me: Rollerblade Boy!

Papa: Huh?

Me: In Auntie D’s house, we are all super heroes!

Papa: So, Caitlynn and Angie are also superheroes?

Me: Yeah. Caitlynn is Powerpuff Girl. Angie is Skateboard Girl and I am Rollerblade Boy. We are all superheroes!

Papa: Wow. I feel so safe already..

Me: Huh?

Moment of Execution: When you realize you are being followed or pursued…

Step 1: Look for flight of stairs. The ones with hand railings are preferred for additional stance support.

Step 2: Step up two or three rungs from the bottom. Adjust height of steps to your age. This is also a compulsory safety measure for your own good. Of course, if you are already above the age of 30, I would advise you NOT to go look for stairs with 30+ steps to perform this stance. I would recommend 5 steps as the max you should go. If not you might have been caught already..:-p

Step 3: Grip hand railing with both hands. If hand rails are not available, press palms against the side walls. If walls and railings also NOT available, take out camera….you have just climbed one really really weird and strange looking flight of stairs…

Step 4: Gently swerve to one side and stick out the leg that is furthest from the hand railings in a side-kick stance. Of course, wait till you see your assailant before kicking in that direction, OK?

Step 5: Let out loud growl, snarl, etc. to show that you mean business!

Step 6: Repeat steps 4-5 with alternating legs  until the assailant is knocked off the stairs.

Step 7: If execution of Steps 1-6 faces any technical problems, please feel feel to whack assailant with umbrella.
