To dear Dodo 6: Updates

Dear Mei-mei,

I realized your shrine is very dusty. I am feeling lazy today but I promise to clean it soon. But the main reason I don’t think I will be cleaning it (at least at the moment) is that I am worried I will cry again when I face your shrine for too long.

Nana and Carol have given your pram to one of their friends. I hear that the receiving little dog is very glad to have the pram and he/she is very contented when inside the pram, just like you used to be. The same little dog has also inherited your shampoo, tidbits, canned food, glucosamine tablets etc. I think Mei-mei won’t mind right? I hope he/she will also enjoy all the tidbits as much as you do!

Jie-jie will be going to Suzhou this coming Friday to watch table-tennis. This is a trip I wanted to do last year but was unable to go as my leave was not approved then. I think I might have told you about this intended-but-unsuccessful trip last August/September. Looking back now, had I taken it last year, Mei-mei would not have been able to come along. But this year, Mei-mei can come along if she wants.

All of us are planning a family trip to Shanghai sometime November this year. We will bring you along too! It’ll be much colder than Singapore but I think Mei-mei will be fine because she has curly white fur!

Minmin has not contributed anything to the blog for months. And your room-mate also! She has been saying she will do it since January I think. I have been chasing her to do it but she’s so lazy. Hmm don’t worry, I will chase her again and make sure she completes her entries before Shanghai!

Ohs, I have new nicknames for them you know? Nana is called “Lazy Chew”, Mama is called “Vainpop Chew”, your Mummy is called “Pushy Tan”, Connie is called "Weirdo Chew". Don’t really have a good one for Minmin yet but I think “Grumpy Chen” is quite appropriate.

That’s about the updates in the family that I can think of for now. Till next time, Precious.

Missing you,
Jie-jie
