Viki's Version

Remember I had an earlier post titled "Zach's Version"? Now that Viki is 20 months old, it's also time to compile a similar summary on how Viki pronounced her words. This is what I have gathered so far:




















Hashishi - trima kasih
Ah ahh you - where are you
Ah ahh you - I love you
Nite2 - good nite
Ah choder - I want shoulder (Means she wants to be carried on the shoulder)
Ah Pao Pao - I want Pao Pao (Means she wants to be carried)
Ah Pee Kit - I want Biscuit
Ah Potter - I want water
Woster - Bolster
Ping Piang - Pong Piang (Means things have fallen on the floor)
Acheap-pee-cheap pyder - itsy bitsy spider
Winkle Winkle Yittle Star - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Peegle - Wiggle
Hearty2 hee hee wall- humpty dumpty sat on the wall
Far Fye - Butterfly
Ouch - Pineapple
Meh Yern = Watermelon
Nana - Banana
Qwee Yerl - Squirrel
Fish Fish - Fish
Ah Bit - Ribbit
Air Bit - Rabbit
Poh Loon - Balloon
Ah Pear Ya - Umbrella
Wee Ming = Swimming
Yah Yo = Lion
Roarrr = Crocodile
Roarrr = Dinosaur
Air Fern = Elephant
Money = Barney

Candy Shop in a Taxi

I was on a cab on 30 Aug 2010 and was pleasantly surprised by the assortment of candies that the taxi driver has to offer to his passengers... This basket sits between the driver and the front passenger seat. Anything from chocolate flavour to VICKS mint, to traditional White Rabbit, he has it all...
