Star Awards...

In line with the recent furor over the Mediacorp's Annual Star Awards (ala Emmy's equivalent for those not familiar with the showbiz in S'pore), I think someone in our house deserves to be given the "Best Supporting Cast" award...

The recipient is no other than Momo, our corgi.. She shares some of the best traits that defines a good supporting actress..

She does not need to be in the limelight all the time, and is happy to play second fiddle, and she puts up her best showing in that capacity.. With baby en in the picture, it is inevitable that attention has always been showered on Baby En, but Momo seems happy to just be around..

Her patience and tolerance make us appreciate her more, and while it is tiring to manage her "hairy" business with the need to maintain a general state of cleanliness in the house, it will be unthinkable not to have her around..

Her smiles and bouts of manja-ness endear her closely to our hearts, and she seems to know that when Baby En goes to sleep, it will be her private time with us and will never fail to come lie by our feet every night... As a supporing cast, she also helps to highlight the main cast, no doubt she will be a fun companion for En in time to come, already she is showing the promise of playing and building the rapport with Baby En...

She probably shares some of the heart-ache felt by supporting actresses, esp. when she was one of the main cast previously.. now her presence is always felt by the side despite her best showing.. I hope this phase will pass when the babies are old enough to play with her properly.. so she can be as involved in our lives as she used to be...
