Revisiting childhood

I have rediscovered the pure joy of watching sesame street. Acually its a show called "Play With Me Sesame". Every morning at 6.30am on Playhouse Disney.

I watch it, only when I am forced to wake up by Ilyas' incessant cries.. I'll take him outside, turn on the telly and he will be so absorbed watching Grover or Bert and Ernie. I absolutely LOVE Bert and Ernie. They are so funny!!!! And somehow Ilyas seems to enjoy them too... (He only watches Play with Me Sesame.. Any other show, like Bob the Builder or Save-Ums.. he will watch when they play the theme song, but will lose interest once the actual show starts)

This morning's show had Bert and Ernie on screen, with Ernie covering his ears with a pair of socks. Bert knows Ernie wants him to ask about the socks but he pretended he was not curious enough but finally gave up and asked what it was all about.

So Ernie says, "Oh its part of a game, Bert"
Bert says "What game?"
"Its a mind reading game. I am thinking of a part of my body that I use to hear but you can't see it because I have covered it up."
Bert said "That's not a game. It's too easy. I know what it is. Your ears!"
Ernie says "Correct." And gleefully pulled off the socks covering his ears.
Bert said "That's too easy to be a game."
Ernie said "Oh but that's only the first part of the game, Bert. There is a second part." And he left the screen and returned with a sock covering his nose.
Bert was quite fed up already "You have got to be kidding me. I already know what you are thinking of."
Ernie said "I am thinking of a part of my body and it starts with N. But you can't see it cos I have covered it up."
Bert says "I know what it is. Your nose!" And he saunters off.
Ernie: "You are wrong, Bert!"
Bert was flabbergasted. "What? Its a part of your body, you have covered it up, and it starts with an N. Its your nose!"
Ernie: "No. Its my neck, see?"

Hee hee hee... I just love the antics of these two...

Which reminds me of the children programmes I used to watch as a child. There was this show I really liked. It's about some plasticine characters who can travel from book to book and enter the land described in the book. I think they live in a study roon with a library, but I also seem to remember some toothbrushes dancing when they play the theme song.. But I can't recall the title of that show!

Can'tthinkofatitle

Wowee.. I've been mia for too long.
I am having a very bad toothache these days. My wisdom tooth is the cause of my grievance. I have been drooling so much I have to swallow my drool every 3 seconds. Now I know how Ilyas must feel. Except he just lets it run freely down his cheeks, neck, clothes... And no, Ilyas has got no teeth yet.. For someone with gallons of drool every minute, I'm a little surprised the pearly whites have not yet made an appearance.

One thing I must talk about... I hate this season of Singapore Idol. I gave up watching it after the first few episodes. I especially hate it when its Jacintha's turn to give her opinion. She looks and sounds like some bimbo with no brains... Urggh! Urggh! And this season of idols have no class lah.. It sounds like some secondary school concert ever week. I rather watch Rockstar Supernova. Good music!

Anyway, now that that is out of my system...

I miss my friends. I think the last time I met up with any one of them was at Ana's bro's wedding.. After that.. zilch... Its a little sad. But I think it's important to get together once in a while... It keeps one sane... So people... please please plan a meet up and please let it happen (jangan last minute dia ni sakit, dia tu cannot make it for some reason or other.. and we don't hear from one another for another 6 months...)
