Shopping Time!

Since mummy is not working today, she decided to bring me shopping at Orchard Road. She asked Da yi and Caris along too. We went to Takashimaya children department as Da Yi wanted to buy some clothes for Caris. We shopped around for clothes but didn't see anything that is suitable for me. Caris is so into "princesses" nowadays, she even asked me to call her Princess Jie Jie. Just last week, Da Yi bought a set of princess dressing up kit for her. The kit comes with a wand, tiara, earrings, necklace, princess skirt, glass slippers, bangle and ring. I must say she look really good when she's dressed up in those princess gears. After shopping for 2-3 hours, i was really beat and we headed home. On the ride home, i couldn't sit still and was so interested with everything around me. The lady seated beside me was holding a really nice phone and that attracted me. I tapped her on her shoulders and also tried to grab her bag. Mummy got to apologise to the lady but i just couldn't stop. Then i turned to my other side and pulled the lady's handbag as well. I wanted to reach out to her phone too. She was playing games on her mobile and she got the same phone as daddy. 3 malay aunties were standing in front of me, they kept looking at me and i tried to reach out to their hands. I was practically tossing and turning in mummy's arms. Trying to get out of her grip and going onto the floor. Mummy was struggling to keep me seated. After some time, mummy gave up and stood up instead. But now, the handle bars on the trains were equally interesting and i tried to get hold of them. I just couldn't keep still. I guess mummy has been praying for us to reach home fast cos i proved too much for her to handle. Opps! Keke.. By the time we reached our station, i was so tired and i just fell asleep all the way back home.

My birthday

Today is my birthday. Yippee! I officially turned one and saying bye bye to my babyhood. Daddy and mummy are busy at work today and i'm left at popo's house from morning to 2pm. Grandma had something on and could only babysit from afternoon. This is the first time i'm under the care of Popo. Da yi brought me along when she sent Caris to her playgroup class at 10 plus. I was elated and so excited to tag along with them. They are so many little friends at Caris's play group. So nice to have so many friends to play together. Mummy went for her gynae checkup in the morning and after that she went to Komoco motors to help daddy make payment for our car. The lady said our car should be arriving next week. Yeah! Uncle Shuen must be happy as he won't need to keep ferrying me back home at night. I received so many birthday wishes to me on mummy's facebook page and also on her mobile smses. Thank you to all the kind aunties n uncles for the well wishes! I felt so loved!

My first birthday party

The day started earlier as i got up at 9.30am, had my bath and accompanied mummy to khatib to pick up some kueh kueh from Ah Yi's stall. Mummy's friend loves the kueh kueh and mummy got it specially for her. After that i returned home and had a short nap. I'm going to have a long day so i need adequate sleep to maintain my cheerful and friendly self. Daddy, mummy, gugu, uncle shuen, aunty min and aunty sharon went down to the linkhouse to inflate the balloons and decorate the place. Yes! It's my 1st birthday and i am having a party! Shortly after, auntie Irene and uncle Melvin arrived and helped with the decor. Uncle mel was really kind to volunteer his service as our professional photographer. "Thanks! Uncle Mel!"Then came the helium balloons. I was elated in seeing the balloons.. Mummy carried me and i was kicking my legs egging her to step closer to the balloons so i can touch them. I was really happy and allowed almost anyone to carry me. They simply need to distract me to the balloons and i'll be happy. Mummy ordered a very beautiful cake for me. I was so surprised when everyone gathered and started singing happy birthday song to me. I held onto the knife firmly as mummy guided me to cut the cake. I was so busy the whole day, smiling and being passed from one person to another. It amazing i stayed awake for 5 straight hours since 12noon. I wasn't cranky at all even though i looked tired at times. After the whole event, i was knocked out for 2 hours. My last meal was 2pm and i was too tired to feel hungry. At 7pm, i woke up and had my dinner. I took just several minutes to finish my bowl of rice cereal. I really enjoyed myself today and thanks to mummy and daddy for planning this party for me. Thanks to all for the lovely gifts, ang pows and well wishes.

No more a baby

6 more days of babyhood! After that i will be an active toddler when i turned 1 year old. I'm going to celebrate my 1st birthday tomorrow. Daddy and mummy have invited about 50 guests. I'm very excited to see the kor kors and jie jies. I'm sure i will have a good time tomorrow as mummy has spent a few months planning for this. Before i blew the candle on my cake, let's do a summary of my progress to date :

• 3 solid meals (cereal/porridge)
• 2 naps
• 2 upper teeth (sprouting stage but visible)

• stand and walk with support
• kneel n squat
• crawl at incredible speed
• put objects on my ear and say "hello"
• trying to sing when music of my toys is on

• lean over to mummy shyly when strangers smile and wave at me

Trip to Singapore Flyer

It is an extremely hot day at the Singapore Flyer. The sun was high up in the sky, shining brightly and scotching hot. Daddy took leave today to bring us to visit Singapore Flyer as Da Yi has free tickets. We went higher and higher in the capsule and i didn't display any fear of height. I was more interested in looking at Caris and Chloe having fun inside the capsule than the beautiful view outside. The entire ride up lasted 30 mins. After that we have some snacks at Popeye's before heading back home.

Children Day and Mid Autumn Party

Here's mummy and me. My gum is so itchy and sore that i can't help putting my finger in my mouth to soothe the itch.

Da yi, mummy and me!


Girl power at the party! Me, mummy, Caris, Da Yi and Chloe.

I had a fun day at the block parties today. Mummy got me tickets to celebrate children's day and mid autumn at our neighbourhood. Both grandmas were here together with Da yi, yi zhang, Caris, Chloe and Siti. The children day party near my block was packed with children. I am one of the youngest there and i couldn't participate in any of the games. The children were taking part in colouring contest, yoyo contest, hula hoop contest and marbles contest. I could only sit at one corner and observe the rest. After the children day party i went home for a nap and went for the mid autumn party at Jelutung CC. the weather was bad today. It started drizzling at 3 plus and it rained in the evening. Mummy almost didn't want to attend the mid autumn party due to the weather but luckily at 8 plus, the rain stopped. Thus we still went ahead to the party as planned. So many kids were carrying their lanterns and playing with candles. After collecting our goodies bag and sculptured balloons, we went under a block and Yi zhang helped me lit up my lantern. The lantern was really pretty. Chloe was having so much fun and she kept running and running. Caris also enjoyed herself very much and she even helped take pictures of us. I must say she did a very good job. At the end of the day, i was beat and slept almost immediately after my bath and milk.

Happy Children's Day

Happy Children's Day to all the children in the world. May all the children be showered with lots of love and happiness. Today is children's day and daddy took the day off to bring me out. I was sick since yesterday. I caught the flu bug and i have been having runny nose and wasn't feeling especially good. Last night i couldn't sleep well and woke up at 2am crying. I even vomited on mummy. I really hate to be sick. Anyway daddy and mummy brought me out to several places today. We went to Thomson to have lunch and then we proceeded to Compassvale to collect my table top from Sean Lau. Then we also made our way to Farm mart. It was disappointing at farm mart cos the place wasn't interesting at all. It seems like a dead town. Most shops are closed and the whole place wasn't properly maintained. The animals look bored and sad. There wasn't any crowd there as well. We then decided to leave the place and go to causeway point. Mummy wanted to go to kiddy palace to get me new shoes. I even got a children day present from the kiddy palace staff. There's a Barbie file, a fan and some bubble gel in it. In the evening, daddy and mummy bought me to Eu Yan Sang to see the physician. The medicine smell is so strong and as usual, mummy fed me one spoonful of pear puree then 1 jet of the medical concoction. Later at midnight, i'm going to the airport to fetch uncle shuen. He's coming back to spore for good and it's my first time seeing him later.
