I am Walking

Yes! I'm walking at 14.5mths. I now can walk unassisted but not for too long. I can even walk and do a "U turn". I have been practising really hard at walking. First i took a few steps, slowly i gained more steps then i started to stand up on my own from the ground then i hold on the wall and walk and i started to let go of mummy's hands and walk on my own. Tatah!! I finally did it! Mummy got me my "pi pi" shoes. It's so funny, when i walk it will squeak.

Busy, busy Christmas

Here's a pic of me napping on the way to daddy's office on Christmas eve. I woke up at 7 plus which is way too early for me.



Hi, that's me and Pooh Bear (from Gene Yi Yi) and i'm on the way to Irene Yi Yi's house.


Having a pic taken with the Christmas Tree at Keppel Club.


Mummy and me!

There's so much christmas cheer this christmas. So much joy and celebrations. We started off the christmas eve at daddy's company christmas party. I followed daddy to his office at suntec early in the morning at 8.45am. I was there early to register for the children's program but i was too young to participate in the treasure hunt and colouring contest. Oh well, then i just watched the rest of the kids running around in the whole office searching for the missing puzzle pieces. The christmas theme is Disney and actually mummy bought me a minnie mouse costume but it was too big and the material was very thick. In the end i just got dressed in my normal mickey and minnie tee. Otherwise i might be in the running for the best dressed. There are 3 kids who came in dolled up as snow white and a few in princess outfit. One of the snow whites got the best dressed prize. Hey the real Snow White came into the office, daddy and me managed to get a picture taken with her. Snow White wanted to carry me but i was a little afraid of her and decided to stick on daddy's lap. Santa Claus was in as well and i managed to get presents from him. Eh... ya i was also afraid of Santa too... and didn't want to shake his hand. After the buffet lunch, there was the much anticipated lucky draw. Top prize is $2500 travel vouchers and daddy was aiming for the second, $1000 cash and $500 shopping vouchers. Too bad, daddy didn't manage to win any of the 60 prizes. No luck. In the evening, mummy and daddy went for steamboat buffet in cementi with their friends, i was left at grandma's place and they picked me up after their dinner. On christmas day, we held a pot luck lunch at our place. Grandma and all my "Ah Yi" came over. Mummy cooked fried mee hoon and chicken wings. Da Yi cooked fishballs, pork chops and tomato prawns. 3rd Ah yi cooked chicken nuggets, sotong balls and prawn balls. Xiao yi made almond longan and cocktail jelly. Caris and Chloe had a good time playing with my toys. In the evening we went over to uncle Qingfeng's house to have buffet dinner. The spread was yummy but the food was too much and we had a lot leftover. The buffet dinner was planned quite last minute and we didn't manage to have any gift exchange this year. The next day, mummy left home very early at 6am in the morning for Dina Yi Yi's wedding. She was one of the sisters for her wedding gatecrashing. Daddy took over mummy's duty while she was away. After i woke up at around 8am, daddy bathed and fed me before bringing me over to grandma'a house. I wasn't feeling very good recently as i was having diarrhoea and the past 2 nights, i vomited. In the afternoon, daddy left to join mummy at Dina Yi Yi's wedding lunch at Conrad hotel. In the evening, there was another wedding and i got to join daddy and mummy for the wedding dinner. Daddy picked up Irene Yi Yi at her place before heading to Peony Jade Restaurant at Keppel Club. Not long after we arrived at the restaurant, daddy and mummy were having second thoughts about bringing me there. I was making so much noise as i did not want to be strapped to my baby seat. The toys mummy bought along wasn't useful to hold my attention. I was so eager to walk on the ground. I kept fussing mummy or daddy to bring me out to walk. I was climbing up and down the staircase, taking the elevator up and down, walking around the club house. Mummy and daddy got to take turns for each dish and they practically did that for the entire dinner. On sun, i was supposed to go for another Christmas party at Zachary's place but as my tummy still wasn't too good(still having diarrhoea) so i didn't go. : ( Well, overall, i still had a very busy and fun Christmas!!

Christmas Potluck

Christmas is just round the corner and mummy organized a Christmas potluck at our place today. She invited Auntie Jac, Sharon, Serene, uncle Lawrence, Nelson and JR. Mummy cooked fried mee hoon and chicken wings. The fried mee hoon was mummy's 2nd attempt and it tasted good. This was acknowledged by the guests. Auntie Sharon bought delicious pork satay and tomato with tuna. Auntie Jac bought strawberry jellyhearts and she fed me a small mouthful. It was yummy. Auntie Serene bought fishballs, fishcake and otah. After the lunch, mummy exchanged gifts with the guests. I got a very interesting Vtech toy from Auntie Sharon and Jac. I can read with it and also learn phonics. Oh, milk milk was here today too. When he first came i was so scared of him and mummy & daddy got to carry me around. I didn't want to go down on the ground. After some warming up, i am less afraid of milk milk and managed to crawl around the house. I even hit milk milk on the face when he's not looking. Luckily he didn't retaliate. Christmas is such a joyous occasion because i get to receive gifts, eat and meet lots of friends.

Mummy, see i can walk!

Did i tell you that i'm actually sprouting my 7th tooth now? It's growing on my lower jaw. I have 4 teeth on my upper jaw and 3 on the lower jaw. No wonder i am salivating more than before and have the urge to grab daddy's thigh and bite him. He's so scare of me now before if he is not careful with me, i may just bite him. Keke... Another great news is that i took 3-4 steps unsupported today and i actually did it without realising. Mummy saw it and she was so proud of me. She was moving my desk away with my colouring book and colour pencils on it, i was so engrossed in wanting to get my stuffs back that i walked quickly towards the desk. Then mummy tried to record my first few steps on video but failed. I only took 2 steps before i fall on her. Anyway, i am almost ready to start walking unsupported. Yeah!! Gonna be so much fun!!! Thanks to mummy for buying me so many books today. She went to BookFest with auntie bear and auntie mildy and she got me colouring book, Chinese picture books and English short story books.

Nov Baby Birthday Bash!

The greatest event of the year was finally over! I had a fantastic day during the Nov Baby Bash at Singtel Recreation Club last sunday (mummy's edd was supposed to be 4th nov but i popped out earlier in oct). The bash was organised by mummies from the Singapore Motherhood Forum Nov Thread which mummy was one of the organisers. Mummy and the other mummies have been planning for the birthday bash many months back. It was a huge success and mummies and babies all enjoyed the bash. We reached SRC at 12noon sharp to help up with the decor. We were the first to reach and shortly after, auntie Bear came followed by Auntie Rainbowcandybb. Mummy helped to inflate the balloons while i played with Jalen and his daddy. We have whale pool, thomas pool, slide tower, tots tunnel climber and jump and gym to play in. The buffet from Chillipadi was great. The food was very delicious. We also have 2 mickey n minnie jelly cakes and a 2 tier birthday cake from Pine Garden. My favourite were the colourful latex mickey mouse balloons and star shaped mylar balloons. They were tied all over the chairs in SRC. It was really pretty and i got so excited seeing all the pretty balloons floating in the air. There were so many toddlers walking and running around and mummies and daddies chatting around. At one moment i got cranky as i was feeling really tired as i didn't have my nap before i came to the party. Luckily i managed to nap 30 mins and all was good after that. I was back to my chirpy self and played with the kids in the ball pits. We didn't managed to stay till the end of the bash as mummy needed to rush off to attend a wedding dinner in the evening. We left shortly after the cake cutting ceremony at 4pm. Happy 1st Birthday to all the Nov Babies!

"Bu Yao"

On Sunday night, mummy caught me practicing saying " Bu Yao" along with head shaking actions in front of the mirror in my room. My pronunciation wasn't very accurate, only some came out audible. It was a good try anyway right? I'm learning to be more vocal now and speaking in a string of inaudible sentences. Actually i knew how to say "Pa Pa", "Ma Ma", "Mum Mum", "Nice", "Hello", "Ah Ma", "Ah Yi", "Bye" but i just don't like to say when asked to. Alright, probably when i am in a fantastic mood, i will amaze mummy and daddy with more vocabulary.

Wedding Event

Last Saturday, i attended a wedding lunch at Holiday Inn Atrium with mummy and grandma. We sat down at the same table with daddy's relatives. I didn't have my nap before going for the wedding lunch and ended up napping in mummy's carrier for a good 40mins. If it wasn't for the wedding march in and the guests' loud and thunderous applause, i would have continued sleeping. Very soon upon waking, i started to mingle with my relatives at my table. They marvelled at how fast i grew and how mischievous i have become. I smiled sweetly at the "Gor Gor" serving our table and winked at him. However when my relative tried to carry me, i shaked my head profusely and refused to let him carry me. I only allowed mummy, grandma and xiao gu po to carry me. The food serving at holiday Inn was big and the food wasn't too bad. Imagine mummy managed to take 3 full bowls of shark fin soup and there's still some left over. I did have some adult food as mummy shared some tofu and honey dew with me. For my lunch, mummy bought along porridge with pumpkin, spinach and thread fin fish. I seem to be eating throughout the event. Mummy was trying to keep me very occupied to prevent me from fussing. At times, mummy or grandma would bring me for walks outside the function room. Mummy said it was really tiring to bring me out for wedding functions as she couldn't eat in peace. I doubt i will be attending any of the wedding dinners with daddy & mummy this December. There is going to be 2 wedding dinners and a wedding lunch. Hmmm.... then i will just settle for Trevis' full month party this Saturday then.
