Oh yes ! Its been more than two years last since I "meddled" my blog. Visited my fellow bloggers ... Notice Ju Guang and Ren are the only "surviors" who still dilligently keep in contact thru the net. Suddenly felt the impulse to take up the hobby again. Hopefully this time would lasts longer =P

One week after the completion of the CPOC, few of us can't wait to gather again for a food festa with chilled beers (5 Sep 2008).

Studio Session on Sunday, Apr 23, 2006

Oh yes ! Been wanting very much to have our family photo ...
Believe it or not, i received a call saying that I had won this lucky draw ...
A free makeover which also extends immediate family members ...
Thought I could get the grandparents along but they restrict to spouse & child only ... Nevertheless, I was glad to ve my little dream comes true.

When I told Dickson about this offer, he was rather wary that its another commerical gimmick cos we could only choose TWO free images in CD-ROM ... Most probably they would persuade us to buy the rest of the phoot shoots ! In the end we decided to go for it after I assurred him that we jus ve fun AND No cash commitment!

Well, indeed the company began to offer us the remaining images with a "lifetime" photoshooting package when we were viewing the results on the screen after the studio shoots. Nearly fell into their "trap" as their attractive offer moved me ... Luckily i was able to fulfill my promise with my hubby's "loving" eyes =P Really had a hard time making the choice ...
Every single piece looks so perfect with Cedric ... Finally ... Although Cedic didn't smile, I simply luv his "attitude" ... Looks like some theme of a movie poster ... Ha ha ! !

Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil

Oh yes! HEAR the difference ... With help from my colleagues who are now enthusiastic bloggers, i finally able to share my son's favourite song - Schnappi ! You may also view its video clip !

Maybe some of you are still unawared ... A little introduction ...
The song Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil is a little crocodile from a German cartoon for children that "performed" a song which reached #1 on the German charts in January 2005. Seven-year-old Joy Gruttmann's aunt Iris recorded her singing the tune three years ago, when she was four. Iris Gruttmann, who co-wrote the song, then posted it on the Internet as a kind of family joke. This song is basically about the teething efforts of a little crocodile with lots of sharp teeth.

For those who want to sing along, but don't know German, a quick attempt at the lyrics & its translation:

LYRICS
======
Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil.
Komm aus Ägypten, das liegt direkt am Nil.
Zuerst lag ich in einem Ei,
dann schni-,schna-,schnappte ich mich frei.

Refrain:
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp

Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil,
hab scharfe Zähne, und davon ganz schön viel.
Ich schnapp mir was ich schnappen kann,
ja ich schnapp zu, weil ich das so gut kann.
(Refrain)

Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil,
ich schnappe gern, das ist mein Lieblingsspiel.
Ich schleich mich an die Mama ran,
und zeig ihr wie ich schnappen kann.
(Refrain)

Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil,
und vom Schnappen, da krieg ich nicht zu viel.
Ich beiß dem Papi kurz ins Bein,
und dann, dann schlaf ich einfach ein.
(Refrain)

TRANSLATION
============
I am Snappy, the little crocodile.
I come from Egypt, located at the Nile.
At first, inside an egg I lay,
then I snip-snap-snapped me out one day.

I am Snappy, the little crocodile,
I have so many sharp teeth in my smile.
I snap up everything I smell,
I snap because I can so well.

I am Snappy, the little crocodile,
I like snapping I play it all the while.
For my Mom, I set a little trap,
and then she see how well that I can snap.

I am Snappy, the little crocodile,
I could go on snapping for a while.
I nip Dad's leg to make him leap,
and then I simply go to sleep.

HaPPy FiRSt BiRThDaY !
