I love strawberries!

Recently, i have taken a liking to strawberries. I guess the current harvest of Korean strawberries are much sweeter in comparison to the usual ones i had last time. Grandma limits me to 2 strawberries per day and i kept begging her for more. Over the weekend, i followed mummy to the supermarket and requested her to buy some for me. I finished a quarter of it and the very next day when i pass by the supermarket, i asked mummy to buy some for me again. Soon i shall look like strawberry shortcake!

Developments at 28 months

On Potty Training
My potty training hasn't been in full gear yet. Mummy allows me to go diaper free once in a while but i wasn't ready. Usually i will informed mummy when i already peed. Thus mummy wasn't actively training me in that.Just the other day while at grandmother's place, she let me go diaper free for the entire day. I peed on the floor twice and was successful twice. I think with regular training at grandmother's place, i should be able to go diaper free very soon.

On Overall Health
February is a lousy month for me. I was sick for most of the time partly due to the erupting molars on my lower jaws and due to the powerful virus that were flying around in the air, everywhere! I was constantly running a fever. On the first week of CNY and the 3 week of the month. Sigh!! I have lost quite a bit of baby fat on my previously chubby face. I was also having cough here and then. Could be due to too much CNY snacking and low water consumption. My eyes were not spared too. I got swollen upper eyelid one day and swollen lower eye the next. Urghh!! What's wrong with me? Mummy suspects that i may have the same allergy to ibuprofen as her. Mummy get swollen eye too if she's on iprobufen. I pray for good health all year round.. for me and my family.

On Sharing
Yes, i am still not keen in sharing my things with anybody. I scream and cry when i feel threaten.
Mummy is slowly teaching me on the subject on sharing but i guess i will take some time to understand it's ok to share.

On Communication
I am now speaking more in mandarin as compared to english. I can understand english but i couldn't speak well. But recently i am picking up english vocabulary faster. I can repeat mummy's words almost immediately. As for longer sentences, i think i will eventually get there.
Mmmy often hears me say stuffs she didn't know i could. : ) I grow up faster than she realised. Heh.Just the other day grandma told mummy that i told her i want to 結 婚. When probed further who i want to marry i replied, "Kor Kor". I was referring to Ernest, my cousin. : p Mummy got a shock that i said such stuffs when i wasn't even 3 year old yet.

CNY 2011 Rabbit Year

Kady and me! I like to carry and hug her.
Say cheese everyone.
Our family picture.
Sorry, i am too engrossed with my game on mummy's iphone.
Finally, an extended family portrait.

Chinese New Year has always been the most exciting period of the year. I get to wear new clothes, visit my relatives and friends, eat nice new year goodies and get lots of ang paos. However, this chinese new year didn't go well as i should have .
On the eve of chinese new year, we had our reunion dinner at Soup restuarant in Causeway point. After dinner, we went to my grandparents' place. On the first day of CNY, we went to my maternal grandmother's place. I was still feeling fine and playing with kady. However i was coughing still and daddy don't let me eat too much new year goodies. I had a quick nap over then before heading over to great aunt's place in woodlands. It was only after i left my great aunt's place that i started to get feverish. By the time i reach my great grandparents' place, i was running a mild fever. I played with Ernest, my cousin a bit and after that i was all cranky and "sticky" to mummy. By the time i went to my great uncle's place, my fever shot up. Less than 30 mins of visiting, mummy decided to bring me home to feed me fever medicine.
My fever didn't subside on CNY day 2. The whole i was at my paternal grandparents' place. I was feeling very cranky and irritable. Same goes for the 3rd and 4th day of CNY. We didn't do much visiting over the weekend.
On the 5th day of CNY, my fever finally subsided. But i got runny nose instead. The whole time i was at my mummy's boss place, my nose was runny. What a lousy feeling. I was feeling so lethargic by the end of the day. I slept almost immediately when we got on the cab back home.
My wish for the new year is to be healthy and free of sickness .
