Girls just wanna have fan*


Sweet and sour chicken, anyone?

Yesterday night, we treated ourselves to a slap-up chinese meal at Crystal Jade after a hard day's work spring cleaning. Saffron was happy with the selection and with some help from mummy ate two bowls of rice. Though a fair part of this was eaten when the waitress came to watch her in the high chair. Veteran performer that she is, Saffron obliged the eager audience by wolfing down as many spoonfuls of rice in as short a span of time as possible, eliciting 'oohs' and 'aahs' of approval from the restaurant staff. With their backs turned, she quickly reverted her attention to the 'baby ice' that Auntie Charie was patiently melting into bite-sizes for her. An over-sized ice-cube from mummy prompted a mumbled "Very big" from Saffron, her little cheek stretched to the shape of an ice cube.

*fan (pronounced 'fun' in Mandarin): Rice

I would just like to say here that in the presence of The Artist, my knees get weak and I indulge in bouts of hysterical giggles and general adoration.

Here you see me in the fawning, spineless pose known as The Shell-Lackey Stance, ever ready to provide a praise, encourgement or a lusty "UMM!" when offered a spoon of imaginary sweet and sour chicken.
