An Atypical Day

Of all atypical days...

0300 Mummy in dreamland...heard a lullubye, sounds like the one by Hao Ran's cot.
Struggled to return to consciousness...maybe still dreaming..."grunt" okay, not dreaming. Maybe Hao Ran's dreaming and will go back to his dreamland.

"WAH!!!!"

Okay, he's not dreaming, or don't intend to keep dreaming...

Not Another One!

Mum...haven't you taken enough pictures of me sleeping?!
Why don't you just let me sleep in peace... sigh...
