One boy and his Ah Kong

Munchkin got very attached to his Ah Kong during his short stay in exotic places. Every day, Ah Kong would go shopping to get Munchkin fresh fruit and yoghurt. Every day, Ah Kong would rush home from work to take Munchkin for his pre-dinner walk to the park to play football with the big boys. Ah Kong also used to take Munchkin for an after dinner stroll up and down the house (as there are always too many mosquitos outside!) Most days, Ah Kong would forget to take his statutory hot drink and biscuit on arrival home as soon as he set eyes on Munchkin!
Munchkin would stop anything he was doing when he heard the rattle of Ah Kong's keys at the gate. He would crawl very quickly towards the gate to greet his Ah Kong then lift his arms up to Ah Kong for a cuddle.

Upon return home, Munchkin was shown this photo of him with his Ah Kong. He lit up. Smiled and lifted his arms up to be cuddled. But the picture didn't respond. He looked round and tried again. But still no cuddles. His little mouth turned down, his bottom lip quiverred and he cried for a good while pointing to the photo which we eventually had to hide away. Poor Munchkin. Ah Kong misses Munchkin also. Thank goodness Ah Kong and Ah Ma will be coming to England for Christmas with Munchkin. I don't think any of us could stand keeping those two apart for much longer than that! See you soon, Ah Kong!
