When Daddy came back from India, you bet I was happy! It had been days that I had not had a bout of wrestling with him, so I was definitely looking forward to that. No fun wrestling with Mommy ma…always must let her win. 
Anyway, a couple of days after Daddy came back, he presented me with a surprise: a new toy! Boy, was I excited! Upon first glance, it looked similar to the Fridge Phonics toy I got for Christmas last year. Same color scheme and there were also plenty of alphabets. There was also the very familiar red musical note button that played the alphabet song, only that it was a different singer.
I soon discovered that this toy is called the Word Whammer, and it is a rather advanced version of the first Fridge Phonics set I have. Che-wah…Daddy thinks I advanced liao…don play play lo…. With this Word Whammer, I can make many many three letter words. They have also included two alphabets of certain letters, like “d” and “m”, for example, just so I can make “dad” and “mom”. I haven’t quite figured out how yet though.
Just the other day, while I was playing with my new toy, I made the word “hoi”, which I think is a very Malaysian word. How many times have you heard or seen people using it? Ha…..
