EggEgg's Theme Songs

  • Before EggEgg was born, one of my favorite toy was a Mickey Mouse bought recently from Disneyland. Tonton & I both declared ourselves to be "Mickey's Best Friend" and I even make up a song for our fan club.
我係米奇老鼠 My name is Mickey Mouse
鼠、鼠、鼠、鼠、鼠 Mouse mouse mouse mouse mouse
我最鍾意屙陎陎 I love to go and pee
陎、陎、陎、陎、陎 Pee pee pee pee pee


  • How did the nickname EggEgg came about? We were lazing around Manly Beach around 2 months before he was born, I was wearing a white T-shirt and I just felt that EggEgg is like a hot round thing that's cooking inside my belly. The sun was shinning, the breeze was warm, and I made up a spontaneous song for him that goes like this:
熱蛋蛋、熱蛋蛋 Hot egg egg, hot egg egg
我地最鍾意熱蛋蛋 I love hot egg egg best
人人都鍾意 Everybody loves you too


  • After EggEgg is born, the little fella became the center of our lives. There's another silly song which I sang all the time while feeding him. It goes like this:
蛋蛋最乖乖 EggEgg is a very very good boy
蛋蛋我唔瀝去賣 Mami won't sell EggEgg for all the money in the world


  • As EggEgg becomes more mobile and active, I used to play with EggEgg on the bed, roll around, chase after him, while singing this:
可愛活力蛋 My lovely active Egg
可愛活力蛋 My lovely active Egg
可愛!活力!蛋、蛋、蛋! So so cute! Go EggEgg!
可愛!活力!蛋、蛋、蛋! So so cute! Go EggEgg!
可愛活力蛋 My lovely active Egg


  • The downside is, EggEgg has never been a good sleeper. It's very difficult to put him to naps, and he usually wakes up as soon as I pop out of the bedroom. I used to hum this lullaby to him everyday, for at least a dozen times, like a broken recorder, until I fall asleep myself.
Red River Valley
As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the love we exchanged mid the flowers

Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true

  • Now that EggEgg is a fun-loving toddler that goes around and play all day non-stop, like a toy that never needs batteries, I look forward to the time when the clock strikes 8:30pm. That signals the end of the day!! Tonton & I would both sing this song as we put him to bed:
大大公司
又到這關門的時候
清場的時候
拉閘的時候
願各位今日都玩夠

It's the end of the another business day
The time to clear the space
The time to shut the door
Hope everyone had lots of fun today...
