Happy Birthday!

2011-10-15T08:33:00.002+08:00

"Once a year, there's a very special day. It's my Birthday! ", yup that's what i always hear on Disney Junior Channel and i am glad i am celebrating my birthday in October finally. In fact i already have 2 birthday celebrations and my birthday is tomorrow!
I have a birthday celebration at home with my immediate family members on 2nd Oct. Mummy and daddy ordered a mini buffet and i have a strawberry shortcake birthday theme this year. I have been looking forward to my birthday ever since mummy told me about my party. Thanks to my grandparents and shu shu for their ang paos. Thanks to Ah yis and gu gu for their presents. Yesterday i had another celebration in my school at YMCA. Daddy and mummy bought another strawberry shortcake themed cake and some goodies bags for my friends in school. I am elated when my friends sang me birthday songs. It is really nice to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. I really loves cakes and candles as they really make my day! Looking forward to more birthday celebrations in the years to come.
Thanks Daddy and mummy for spending so much time and money to celebrate my birthday this year!

My updates

2011-08-27T00:51:00.003+08:00

Going to school has been a really fun event for me. I am looking forward to school everyday as i get to play with my friends and learn new songs from my teachers. I am also very cheerful and happy whenever mummy or grandma came to school to fetch me home. My mood is super duper good as i had a fun day in school.
Daddy and mummy came to school to pick me up, as usual i was in my happy mood. I had a quick bath at home before i go over to my maternal grandma place for dinner. It's been some time since i ate at grandma's place because she seldom cook now as she is staying alone. Most of the times, she will go over to our house or Da Yi's house for dinner instead. Sigh, i am having constipation again. It's been 4 days since i last moved my bowels. I kept trying to pass motion but failed. The pain was so intense that i cried while trying to poop. Daddy and mummy had to stay beside me to console me. I tried several times in the evening and finally on my 3-4 attempt, i managed to move my bowels and i laughed happily after that. What a relief! Phew! My stools were hard and bloody. Poor me! Mummy told me to eat more fruits and drink more water and i shouldn't have the same problem next time.

Hello Sister!

2011-08-05T10:59:00.002+08:00

Mummy is expecting a little girl in Nov and i am going to be a big sister! I am happy and excited at times. I will run up to mummy to hug and kiss her tummy. Stroke mummy's swelling belly and call out to my little sister's name. At times, i will be jealous when mummy ask me not to jump or cross over her tummy and i will smack my mummy's tummy and put on an angry face.

Mummy is trying to make me feel comfortable and acceptable to my little sister's arrival. However i have been the apple of my parents' eyes for the past 3 years. It can get hard not to be receiving their 100% attention. I know they still love me deeply and i will always be their little precious. Well maybe time will tell and after all i can be a doting big sister.

I'm so into acting

2011-07-29T13:41:00.002+08:00

Mummy is having a great time watching me as i reenact the scenes that happened to me during the day and the events. Everyday i will put on a show of a typical day in school. Most of the time, i will take up the role of teacher and "lecturing" the children which are my classmates. Sometimes i will also pretend to be mummy and create a scene where i bring my kid to childcare. Just last night, mummy recited the commercial lines for mama lemon washing detergent and i actually can reply the lines back to her. She was laughing so hard to see how serious i was in my reply. She asked whether i want to be a child actor so she can start grooming me in that area. I think she must be dreaming of being a star mommy so badly. Of course i don't want cos i will be scared. I am only at ease acting in front of mummy but not in front of strangers. Sharon and Charis yi yi has been informing mummy about kids modelling contests whenever they saw the advertisement. This time round, Mother and Baby magazine is looking for kids between 3-8 who possess the aura of a princess. However mummy is not too keen as the audition and photo shoot will start in oct and nov respectively. Mummy is due to deliver end of oct or early nov so the timing is not good at all. Well i don't think i am ready at this stage as well.

Hooray, it is the time for holidays again to Genting. This is my 2nd trip to Genting and i love the cool weather and theme parks best. Daddy is driving for this trip and we are all very excited.
Due to the recent jam at the immigration checkpoints because of the new biometric procedures, we decided to set off in the wee hours. I woke up at about 3.45am and we picked up uncle Darren n Nicole yi yi at 4.15am at their house in woodlands. We arranged to meet at the first petrol kiosk in JB with Da Yi Zhang and Uncle Marc. Altogether, 10 adults and 3 kids are travelling in 3 cars. The sky was still dark when we set off but i was all bright and bushy tailed. All ready to start my holidays. We made several stops to take a leak and have a bite during the long journey. It was tiring for daddy as the driver but fun for me as a passenger. Hehe... We reached Genting around 11am and we went to the kopitiam at First World for our lunch. Genting was very crowd as it was the June holidays. There were so many kids. After lunch, we checked into our hotel rooms and took a short nap. After our rest, we shopped a while at the mall and had dinner before heading back to our room to retire for the day.
The next morning was specially planned for the kids. We had breakfast at McDonald's and then it was to the indoor theme park and outdoor theme park. I enjoyed the rides very much and i was grinning from ear to ear. I was just so happy and excited. I had a quick nap during lunch at Old Town Cafe and by the time we reached our room for a short rest, i was awake and couldn't go back to sleep again. After 1-2 hours of rest, we hit the theme park again for our favourite rides.
The next morning, we quickly packed our luggage before heading out to Ah Yat Restaurant for Dim Sum. After our Dim sum lunch, we checked out and got ready to head back home.
It was a fast and short holiday but very fun and enjoyable for me. Check out the pics.

Last Day of School at Kindercom

2011-05-27T15:23:00.002+08:00

Times flies and it's been a year since i first started playgroup at Kindercom at 19 months. Now i am 31 months old and i attended my last lesson at Kindercom today. I will be progressing to attend childcare at Metropolitan YMCA at Yishun in June.
No holidays for me in June. Not that i mind, anyway i have more friends to play with at my new childcare centre. I attended an orientation program last monday and i really like my new school.
They have a really cosy place and i enjoy visiting the toilets as the toilet bowl and sink are just the right size and height for me.
Hope i can adapt well to the new environment and make new friends easily.
Shall update on my progress soon again.

Day trip to JB Tesco and KSL

2011-05-27T14:57:00.002+08:00

Right after attending Matthias' Birthday party, i was off to Johor Bahru with Da yi's family and my parents. We did some grocery shopping at Tesco before having another round of indoor playground fun at KSL.
I guess i am a bit exhausted by now but nevertheless it's still FUN!
Having Shabu shabu for dinner. Daddy was displeased with me for misbehaving at dinner but clearly i wasn't paying too much attention to him.
And i am still running around the restaurant, taking some pictures.

Weaning off mummy's milk

2011-03-28T14:04:00.004+08:00

Immediately after my Taiwan Trip, Mummy and Grandma were determined to wean me of breastfeeding. With Grandma's help, i stayed over at her place for 4 nights straight. She fed me formula milk during the night. I was afraid of ants during this period and mummy tried to scare me off breastfeeding by telling me she got ants on her boobs. It did work somehow and i never ask her to breastfeed me again. Yes i have outgrown mummy's milk!

Taiwan, Taipei 12th-15th Mar 2011

2011-03-18T20:01:00.003+08:00

I went to Taipei on 12th of March with daddy and mummy. We left for the airport at 6am as we have to check in at 6.30am for our 8.30am flight. After checking in, we had our breakfast at Kiliney Kopitiam. I was feeling good and happy during my flight. I watched wiggles, snacked on tidbits, have my lunch and napped on the 4+ hours flight.
When we touched down at Taipei, the temperature was 14 degree Celsius. It was so cold but i like it! There wasn't any sun and the sky was cloudy and grey. After checking in at Fortune Hyatt Hotel, i had a quick bath and rest before venturing around the streets nearby. It was so cold and mummy bought me a wool beanie from one of the stalls. It cost NT800, not cheap but what to do. Mummy was afraid that the cold will make me sick so she has to cover and protect my head and ears. We didn't wander off too far as we need to gather in the hotel for the bus to pick us up for dinner at "Hai Ba Wang" restaurant. The dinner portion was so huge but the food didn't appeal to me and i didn't eat much. In fact i was playing happily with other kids in the group (mummy's colleagues' kids). We were running around and going in circles. I was having so much fun that mummy thought i am going bonkers. I laughed loudly and kept dragging the other kids to follow me around the restaurant.
After dinner, we went to Long San Si Temple followed by Huaxi Street Night Market. We tried the local food like Hua Zi Yuan(sotong balls), salted chicken, bubble tea, yam or some kind of flour balls. I was still feeling energetic through out the night and it was almost 11pm when we left the night market. I slept close to 12 midnight on the 1st night.
On the 2nd day, we woke up at 7am. We need to gather at 8am for our day tour. We didn't manage to have our free breakfast as the restaurant was too crowded. So daddy bought us some bread from a nearby convenience store. We went to Zhi You Guang Chang (Zhong Zheng Ji Nian Tang) and did some sightseeing. Then to Yeliu for some photo taking and sightseeing. We proceeded to Jing Shan Old street for shopping and lunch. That place was crazy, it was jam packed with people. There is a famous eatery there when diners will just pick up or i should say snatch the cooked dishes at the kitchen and then deliver their plates of food through the crowd street and to their tables about 50m away. We literally squeezed ourselves through the crowd and to our tables located on the 3rd floor of the restaurant. The food was so so, we can't justify why there are just so many people queuing for the food.
After lunch, we proceeded to the "touristy" places like the Mao's house and Pi Siu shops where they tried to convince us to buy their deer placenta, royal jelly, Lingzhi and the very expensive Pi Siu. As daddy and mummy have been through these and purchased quite a bit the last time they visited taiwan, they are not ready to commit to these purchases again.
By night, we arrived at Shilin night market and had their famous Chicken cutlet but it didn't taste as good as before. We didn't eat much over at the night market as their food don't really appeal to us. Instead i spent most of my time playing on the kiddy ride. scooping fishes, playing street games at Shilin Night Market. It was very enjoyable and i had so much fun.
The next day we went on our own group tour to Yang Ming Shan in the morning. The park was so beautiful with blooming cherry blossoms everywhere. The park was full of other blooms as well and just being there makes us happy. Along the way we dropped by a calla lily farm and a shop full of windmills. We had lunch at Jiu Fen and spent 3 hrs there before proceeding to Wu Fen Pu. There are so shops selling clothes at very reasonable prices. Mummy went to one shop and purchased 7 pieces of clothing. Then we went to another shop selling children clothing and mummy purchased another 10 pieces. It was cheap as 1 piece of top only cost S$4.50. Mummy had wanted to shop more but i was getting cranky and refused to walk or let daddy carry me. I insisted mummy to carry me and she couldn't take it anymore but to rest at a tea joint while waiting for the time to gather. Our last stop was at Si Men Ding, it was a cool night and we merely walked through the streets. there wasn't much stuffs to buy here. However i had the opportunity to see a lot of dogs over here. There were Doggie themed restaurant and big golden retrievers were seen at the restaurant. I went up to the dogs and patted them.
Fast time passes quickly and we checked out of our hotel at 10.30am. There wasn't much time for us to do anything on the last day. We had breakfast at the hotel before heading to the airport to catch our flight home.

I love strawberries!

2011-02-28T16:54:00.002+08:00

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

2011-02-22T16:26:00.003+08:00

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

2011-02-07T18:43:00.003+08:00

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 .

CNY greetings in advance!

2011-01-24T22:33:00.002+08:00

Wow, time really flies and it's been so long since i updated my blog. Christmas came and went. New Year came and went. Next on the list of celebrations will be the much anticipated Lunar New Year.
Mummy has gotten me a red dress from Zara for CNY. She will be hunting for a traditional chinese costume this week at chinatown. My 2 pairs of shoes are also ready. In fact i went to chinatown last weekend with Da Yi and family to get myself soaked the up with CNY mood. Chinatown was bustling with life, lots of goodies to buy, new year decorations to see and CNY music to hear. Luckily it wasn't a very hot day, otherwise i probably won't enjoy myself as much squeezing through the crowded walkway. Mummy bought some candies and a CNY DVD. She didn't manage to do much shopping with me tagging along. That explained why she needed to make another trip to chinatown this week. : p
I hope to meet up with more friends during the coming CNY. Happy Lunar New Year to all in advance and wishing my family and myself good health, joy and prosperity in the Rabbit Year!

Self weaning?

2010-12-29T00:35:00.003+08:00

Woohoo, mummy was over the moon when i finally attempted to fall asleep without nursing.
I have been nursing to lalaland since i was about 7-8 months old till now.
Over the past 1-2 weeks i have been on a sudden growth spurt, requesting formula milk like 2-3 times in 2 hours. Mummy will make me 100ml of FM, followed by 60ml of FM and another 60ml of FM all in 2 hours or so. I usually can't even finish 120ml of FM, leaving about 40ml behind. So mummy was excited to see this sudden change and anticipating some changes in my usual sleeping routine. Well, mummy attempted to put me in bed at 10.45pm but i was like an energiser bunny and was role playing and playing games with myself. Soon it was 11pm then close to midnight. I started to rub my eyes and asked mummy for some FM. Mummy made a bottle for me and i quietly laid on my mattress and finished the milk.
I tossed and turned for another 15 minutes before i drifted off to sleep. I hope this brings some consolation to mummy that i am learning to wean myself off mummy's milk. I know she is keeping both her fingers and toes crossed that this is really going to be the end of her breastfeeding journey.

Bye Milk!

2010-12-29T00:24:00.002+08:00

Time flies and 2 weeks passed so swiftly. Serene Yi yi and uncle Chia Ren came to fetch milk milk back home on 26th Dec. Though the time i spent with milk milk wasn't long but i have developed a good relationship with him.
Mummy did mention to me several times that milk milk is going home and each time i answered cannot. I was reluctant to let milk milk go. I am used to having milk milk in the house and bringing him down for a walk everyday. And the times where i pretended to reprimand milk milk saying "no fighting". I also like to bully him by pasting pooh bear stickers on his back and pushing him away. However the time came and separation is inevitable.
I cried very hard when Serene Yi Yi took the leash over from me and carried him away. I screamed and wailed... so sad. I cried so hard that caused me to vomit. Mummy had to coax me by giving me a bottle of yakult.
Well, i do hope mummy keep her promise to bring milk milk back here for an annual vacation.

Milk Milk is back!

2010-12-18T09:35:00.003+08:00

Me walking milk milk on 12th dec evening.

I took this picture of mummy with milk milk. I am sure milk milk misses mummy lots.
3rd ah yi and us... Chloe and Caris are learning roller blading from Ah yi.
Milk milk! Handsome boy.
Say cheese, milk milk!
Happy me and milk milk.

Kaylia's 1st Birthday Party

2010-12-14T11:21:00.002+08:00

After Sat pre christmas party with my friends, we went on to attend Kaylia's 1st birthday celebration in the evening. Auntie Adeline set up a coloring corner for the kids. Here's a picture of me focusing on my coloring.
This is Kaylia and she's the birthday girl. She is wearing a very nice tutu dress.
The theme for the party is Mickey Mouse and i was elated to see all the mickey stuffs. So happy!
Striking a pose with a big minnie mouse balloon.

Pre Christmas Party with Nov 08 Mums & Babes

2010-12-12T14:20:00.002+08:00

Me pigging out first before the guests arrive. Mummy prepared fried mee hoon, steamed corn and meat patties. We also ordered KFC delivery, chicken pies and shepherd pies. Finger licking good.
Very pretty cupcakes from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf ordered by E-wen auntie.
Let's all dig in...
Zachary and me posing for the camera.

War zone.. Keke..

Mummy hosted a pre Christmas party for her Nov mummies friends and babes. It was a very nice gathering for all of us. Though initially i was reluctant to share my toys with the kids and screamed and cried. Soon i guessed i warmed up gradually and we played together.

Evening @ T3

2010-12-10T23:12:00.003+08:00

Chloe, me and Caris at Changi Airport Terminal 3.
Ma, look! Balloons!
Kids indoor playground at T3. There's also an arcade nearby.
Snap snap! Grandma and me.
Look at the slide behind us. I went on the slide with Auntie April 3 times and once with Mummy.
Mummy was initially a little afraid to go down the slide. It's not scary at all, it's fun.
The enchanted teapot which dispends coloured balls every hour from 7pm to 10 pm. The colour of the hour at 8pm was PINK and i happened to get a pink ball. I got to take a lucky dip and i got a silver ball. The prize was 2 sweets and 2 tokens to go on the bigger slide at T3.
A smaller play area for kids.
I like to carry babies but why Kady look so scare here? I try to be gentle and not drop you okay?

Trysten and me trying to spot some fishies in the water.
See! We can climb.

@24mths developments

2010-11-23T17:10:00.002+08:00

The much talked about and feared terrible twos stage had finally arrived... Mummy has been really disturbed by the way i behaved. If i want something, i mean i REALLY want it NOW! Floodgates are easily activated and i am such a cry baby. I guess the easiest way to get what i want is to cry, scream and sit on the floor, refusing to bulge. However it doesn't work ALL the time.
I have also become a selfish person. I don't like to share my toys or food. I only share if i'm done with that particular toy/food. I can fight with my cousins and insists they share their things with me but i won't share mine. I am also a territorial person, defending every single toys in my house whenever my cousins come to visit. This often results in a lot of complainings (my cousins will report to my mummy about me) and crying and screamings. Thus, my cousins seldom visit me now. : ( I guess only when i learn to share then i will have cousins/friends visiting me. I am amicable when i go over to my cousins' house to play.
Of course i still have the prettier side of me. I love to sing and dance. I can sing along with most of the wiggles songs. I like to smile and laugh though i get very reserved whenever i see unfamiliar faces. I need time to warm up. I am able to understand more things and likes to test mummy asking her "what's this" and whenever she gives me a reply, i will go "Orh......."
I have learned to keep my toys after playing with it. I say my thank yous but at times i can forget.I like to help my mummy to mop the floor though i usually ended up giving her more work.
I am not actively been potty trained, mummy's kind of lazy to start. She feels that i will eventually get ready naturally when i'm ready. That explains the only 2 successful attempts on the potty so far.

Lucas 1st Birthday

2010-11-23T16:59:00.004+08:00

On 17th Nov, we celebrated Lucas' 1st Birthday at their house. Lucas has really nice sesame street themed birthday cake, cupcakes and agar agar. There are simply a lot of toys in their house. I like the playhouse the best cos i can open/close the door, shut/open the window and cook in the house.I kept pestering mummy to carry me to see the cake, cupcakes and agar agar. They are so colourful and look soooo pretty.
Finally laid my hands on one of the cupcakes. See how cute my Elmo cupcake is. I was so happy and smiling away.
Savouring the cupcake together with mummy. I took one of Elmo's eyeballs and mummy took the other. Evil us. Tsk tsk!

At the beach

2010-11-03T23:17:00.003+08:00

Doing some exercise?

Trees full of candies. Candylicious is such a happy place to visit. I feel so happy when i enter the shop. And having kid trolley at Candylicious make it even fun.
Ain't they cute?
M & M figurines outside Candylicious.
Snacking on my lolly outside Universal Studios. Lookat the clear blue skies. Good weather.
I really loke these people behind us. I kept smiling and waving at them. They are all so interesting to look at.
Happily posing with the chocolates.
Saying Cheese and V for victory!
Cheeky me with mummy and the jelly beanies.
Digging more candies?
Taking a quick picture with the Hershey's Mascot. See! I'm not scared.
Hello Kitty Marshmallows for Caris and Chloe. M&M Candy fan for myself.

Start of a long weekend for daddy as he took 2 days of childcare leave followed by weekend.
We checked out RWS. We didn't visit USS though as daddy feels i am too young to enjoy myself in there. Wait till i am 3-4 years old.

Uncle Dean & Aunt Margaret's ROM solemnisation

2010-11-02T18:11:00.005+08:00

Feeling happy with my flower balloon. Uncle Damien brought me to queue for it.
That's the balloon man. He is really very funny and very good in making the balloon sculptures. Just tell him what you want and he can make for you. He made Barney for Chloe. I saw a Tinkerbell one too, it's very nice.
Here's what mummy requested. Mickey Mouse! Remember i just have a mickey mouse theme birthday party the day before? The balloon man says he don't usually take mickey mouse requests from guests as it's time consuming to make one. It is usually only for the birthday girl/boy of the party. Ain't i lucky to have one? p.s : Mummy told him about my mickey mouse theme party and my actual birthday was round the corner. Haha.
Posing for a group picture. ( Me, Kaylia, Chloe and Trevis)

Having fun with the heart shaped confetti.

Gugu, Uncle Andy and me.
Happy Grandma and me.
Aunt Michelle and me. She queued for a very long time for the flower wristband. And all the while she was carrying me. Thanks Aunt Michelle.

My Birthday

2010-10-18T22:32:00.002+08:00

16th Oct was my birthday. As i have celebrated my birthday in advance, there wasn't much things to do on the actual day itself. Mummy initially planned a trip to the zoo with Denise Yi Yi but the plan was shelved to another day. Mummy planned to bring me out shopping but had no idea where to go.
Thus, mummy rang up Da Yi who was getting ready to go to JB for grocery shopping. Luckily we called Da Yi in time and we tagged along with Da Yi's family to JB for shopping. We had lunch at a coffee shop in JB. The wanton mee was good and i finished up the noodles really fast. After lunch we headed to Tesco. We did some grocery shopping and then went to do some art and craft. There was this ready mould of a picture whereby we will pour some coloured liquids in it. After we are done with the colours, the mould will be heated up and then cooled to become a piece of coloured plastic that can be pasted onto glass surfaces. The last time i visited the same place, mummy chose a hello kitty picture for me. This time round, mummy chose snoopy. After that we went for some kiddy rides followed by some fun at the children's play area.
Time flies and we had spent almost 6 hours in JB. Then we decided to head back. On the way back, we stopped by for some street snacks called "Lok lok". I liked the fish balls very much and it helped to fill up my little tummy. I had fun with Caris and Chloe's company.

Potty Ready?

2010-10-10T01:36:00.002+08:00

As usual, i couldn't sleep if i have not move my bowels for the day. It's already 11 plus at night and i was still pretty much awake though i had a very long day and was feeling grouchy from fatigue. Understanding that i have such a problem, mummy brought out my fisherprice froggy potty and tried to encourage me to poo poo in it. She sat beside me and within minutes, i pooped into my potty. Mummy was so happy as she didn't know i was actually quite ready for potty training now. After my first successful attempt in using the potty, i kept telling mummy i want to wee wee and was feeling extremely proud of my little achievement.

Lunch at Ippudo

2010-10-07T00:01:00.004+08:00

Yummy Ramen @ Ippudo.
I only have eyes and hands for my Ramen.
Just got up from my nap and feeling grouchy.
My presents from Denise Yi Yi. Thank you!
Yeah, that how u spell my name.
Do i look pretty?
Mummy and me.

Denise Yi Yi is back in Singapore for a short stay and we arranged to meet for lunch at Ippudo, Mandarin Gallery. Mummy wanted to introduce the yummy ramen to Denise Yi Yi. I love ramen too and i enjoyed it so much that i kept asking mummy for more. It's simply delicious. After lunch we shopped around at Taka and Ion. When i took an hour nap, mummy and Denise Yi Yi chatted at Starbucks Ion over coffee.

Batam Trip 2nd-3rd Oct

2010-10-06T18:19:00.007+08:00

First Stop : Ferry tickets collection at level 3 at Harbour Front. BatamFast (Ocean Raider). Waiting for mummy to collect the ferry tickets.

Waiting for the arrival of Ocean Raider. Feeling very excited and happy.
Still happily taking pictures with Da Yi, Caris and Chloe while waiting for the ferry.
Deja Vu? Looks familiar? Looks like the photos that we took at Genting First World hotel. The 3 of us were running along the aisle.
At Dino Kids Club. Having a go at the swing.
Interior of the Kids Club.
Having a fun time colouring. So many colour pencils to choose from.
Me doing a funny face which i picked up from Chloe. Uncle Darren taught Chloe that.
Relaxing swim at the pool. I love swimming!
Back at our room 224. Getting ready to go to bed.

The Batam, Indonesia trip was my 3rd overseas trip and this time we travelled with a bigger group. Da Yi and family, Uncle Mark, Uncle Darren, Geraldine and Nicole Yi Yi. It was only a very short trip and we stayed 1 night at Harris Resort. We boarded the ferry to Batam at 12.10pm and the journey took us 30 minutes. We reached sekupang ferry terminal and took a cab over to Harris Resort. (We bought ferry tickets to Sekupang but actually the waterfront terminal is nearer to Harris Resort)
Upon reaching the resort, we were greeted with friendly staffs offering us cold towel and popcorn. After checking in, we took a short rest before venturing out to check out the resort. We went to Dino Kids Club as they were holding a flower making class. Only caris was "old" enough to participate so Chloe and me went to play on the swings and slides. After spending some time at the kids club, we went swimming at the pool. I was nursing a cold and thus mummy did not allow me to stay too long in the waters. We headed back to our room for a shower while waiting for the rest to get ready to go out for dinner. We took a hr ride for seafood dinner but i can't recall the actual name of the place.
I had a very nice sleep at the resort and i couldn't bear to wake up in the morning. When mummy carried me out of the room for breakfast, i was still sleeping. I went for breakfast in my pyjamas. After breakfast, we took a short stroll at the tiny beach and went swimming

Daddy's 30th Bday & Children's Day 2010

2010-10-01T01:11:00.004+08:00

Mickey Mouse Colouring Pad from my teacher at Kindercom Educare.
A little present for daddy. Completed with mummy's help.

It's Children's Day! Happy Children's day to all the little children in the world. I had a early celebration in school on Thursday. Teacher Amy made a handmade name tag for each of her students. It was really sweet of teacher Amy to spend so much time doing the name tag for us. I also received a stick of mentos sweets and a big mickey mouse colouring pad from the teachers in school.
Thursday, 30th Sept happened to be Daddy's birthday. So after mummy dropped me of at school, she went to Pine Garden in Ang Mo kio to pass the cake toppers for my cake with the baker and bought a black forest chocolate cake for daddy. After Daddy and mummy came to pick me up at school, we went to Sakae Sushi to have lunch. I wolfed down the entire cup of chanwanmushi. That's my favourite and i also had some sushi and udon. Then my parents left me with grandma and they continued with their plans to celebrate daddy's birthday with a movie and dinner at Ippudo at Mandarin Galleria.
I had a busy Sept and coming october, exciting plans are already lined up. I will be going to Batam over the weekend with my parents and their friends. Then next will be my birthday party and a relative's wedding celebration. Stay tuned and i shall update till then.

Barney Space Adventure

2010-09-13T17:15:00.002+08:00

On the 2nd day of the long weekend, we went to Expo to catch Barney Space Adventure show. We went earlier to have lunch at Burger King before going for the Barney show. Many kids were seen carrying either a barney, BJ or Baby Bob soft toy in their arms. Daddy had explicitly told mummy not to buy any more soft toys for me as i don't play with my soft toys once i brought it back home. So far i have amassed over 10 soft toys like mickey mouse, Minnie mouse, pooh bears in 3 different sizes, care bears and a parrot. We bought tickets for the 2pm show and i was seated with mummy behind Da Yi and family. I was pretty excited when i first saw Barney appearing on stage. But as the time goes by, my excitement died down. I stared blankly at the stage and then turned behind to see the audience seated behind me. I was clearly not interested in the show. After the break, we went to squeeze into the seats together with Da Yi family. Barney Space Adventure wasn't really interesting for me and super boring for mummy. I have never heard most of the songs that they sang that day. Thus i couldn't partake in the dancing and singing with Barney and friends. After the show, Caris and Chloe went to buy the Barney Space Adventure T-shirts. Mummy and me just watched and we didn't buy anything.

Beary Fun House

2010-09-13T15:37:00.003+08:00

The Hari Raya long weekend was super duper fun and packed with so many activities. On Hari Raya day itself, we went Auntie Bear's place at 3pm for a play date with the "Nov babies". Well, i shouldn't say babies, it should be toddlers because we are all grown up. There's Zachary,Yu Fei, Yu Qi, Clara and Caden. We had a little snack and play time together. I like the kitchen set and had lots of fun playing with it. Zac has so many toys and it was sure enough to keep all of us occupied and entertained. After the play date, we adjourned to grandma's place at around 5.30pm. Grandma invited some relatives over to her place for a small gathering and she cooked "thunder tea rice". Everybody loves the dish including me. I like french bean, cai xin n tofu with my rice. After dinner, i played with my relatives. Some of my relatives were asking daddy and mummy when they are planning for another sibling for me. I think daddy is under a lot of pressure now. We left grandma's place soon after and we went home for a quick shower before going over to Da Yi's house to help Da Yi Zhang to fix some computer stuffs. I like going over to Da Yi's house to play with Caris and Chloe.

Family Day Out

2010-09-09T23:58:00.005+08:00

Mid Autumn Festival is just around the corner and that means i need to get a lantern. Here's mummy and me shopping for one.
And there a lot of variety. See there's so many lanterns to choose from. Where do i start?
In the end, mummy picked 3 designs and let me choose among them. I picked the bear bear lantern. (not in this pic)
Then we went shopping at Gap. Look at this winter jacket, very pretty on me right? But sadly we are not going overseas for winter so just trying the jacket for fun.
Chilling out at Starbucks and stealing a sip of latte . Nice!
Daddy approved this Mickey Mouse puzzle. He bought this for me at Toy R Us.
While daddy is not looking, i went to get another sip of the cold icy drink.
Can't seem to stop drinking. The caffeine is so addictive. Oops, too young for caffeine mummy said.
Happy mummy and me. Always happy whenever we are out shopping.
After the shopping trip at Vivo city, daddy drove down to Tagore Ave to buy me my very advance birthday present. I love this car when i saw it at Northpoint last Sunday and daddy decided to buy it for me. I got it in Princess Coupe! Thanks Daddy, i love the car to bits!

Farewell Auntie Siti!

2010-09-08T00:21:00.004+08:00

At Changi Airport, sending Auntie Siti off to her home town after her 2 years contract with Da Yi's family. Here's a picture of Caris, Chloe and me in front of a big pot of orchids.
Bidding farewell to Auntie Siti. Thanks for bathing me and cooking for me when i'm at Grandma's house.
Having lunch at Pizza Hut and doodling away while waiting for our food to be served. See how serious we are.
"Hey, what are you drawing Caris?"
The kids busy with their drawings while the adults fussed over what to order for lunch.
"Hmmm....what should i draw next?"

Happy Sunday

2010-09-06T23:37:00.005+08:00

5th Sep was Shu Shu's birthday and we went for lunch together at Mayim Restaurant at Northpoint. While waiting for the table, i saw these little tikes cars with trolley parked in front of the restaurant. I immediately ran with great speed to get into the cars. I first got into the yellow and green car and pretended to drive like daddy and grandpa.
Then i decided to get out of it to hop onto the next car parked behind.
It is a police car and i drove the car with great delight. See how wide my smile is.
Not long i hopped onto the next available car, a multi coloured one.
For the rest of it, i hopped from one car to the next. Getting in and then getting out of the cars.
I was having so much fun.
Then along came Grandpa who helped to push the car while i drive.
Mummy decided i had enough fun playing with the cars and bought me to the florist. She wanted to get a balloon for Shu Shu for his birthday. But i merely pretended to give the balloon to Shu Shu and requested for it back within seconds. I love balloons too!
After lunch and heading home. I'm still mesmerised by the balloon. "See! Look at my balloon".
Hehe, running with my balloon.
After a short rest at home, mummy asked daddy to drive us to sembawang park. Ever the obliging and loving daddy, he did so. Here's a photo of us at the beach.
And one of me with mummy.
I wanted to go into the waters but daddy said the waters is dirty as the shipyard is just next to us. Sigh! Well, probably mummy can arrange with Auntie Jacqueline to go to East Coast Park someday.

U for Umbrella

2010-09-06T23:21:00.002+08:00

Looks like Singapore weather has become really unpredictable. May was supposed to be a hot season but it was raining frequently and eventually the heavy and constant downpour has caused our famous orchard road belt to be flooded and then the rain keeps bringing news of flooding in many parts of Singapore. Now it's September and it's still raining more than before.
I remembered i was supposed to go to school one day in August but mummy and i were sort of stranded at the bus stop near our house. The heavy rain was making us wet all over and about 15-20 mins of waiting at the bus stop, mummy decided to go home instead as the rain was simply too heavy for us to stay dry by the time we reached my school. Since then i was quite prepared for wet days cos i've gotten my hello kitty raincoat and my pink umbrella. Hmmm..... i think mummy missed out my paddington boots though. Speaking of umbrella, i must say i really love my brolly. It has become a favourite toy to me. I like to open up my umbrella and swing it around. I also use it as a walking stick and poke the tip of the umbrella hard on the ground as i walk. I even attempted to fire my "gun" at daddy. Haha, these are all the little fun moments i got from a simple UMBRELLA. Oh i can find many uses for my umbrella.

Start of my term 3 holidays!

2010-09-04T22:13:00.003+08:00

My term 3 holidays starts today and what did i do today?
We went to Simsville today to attend a full month party. Upon reaching the condominium, i was greeted by the sight of the inviting swimming pool. I was so excited and kept saying "swimming, swimming". However as usual, mummy won't prepare my swimming stuffs as we are supposed to attend a party and not there to go swimming.
After the party, we went to parkway parade shopping mall for some shopping. Daddy decided to pay grandpa a visit at his workshop after our shopping as we were in the vicinity. We bought some kuey kuey and headed to Kaki Bukit. It was my first time visiting grandpa at his workplace. Grandpa was very happy to see me but as i just woke up from my nap i was pretty grouchy. After a little while, Grandpa gave me a packet of chrysanthemum tea and i felt happy after that. About 30-45mins later, we went back to my grandparents' house first and grandpa joining us later for dinner.

Shoo Shoo Fever!

2010-08-31T15:55:00.002+08:00

It was supposed to be a day of celebration for Teachers' Day today. Mummy has even gotten the presents for my teachers but i couldn't attend school today. Hump!! I am still not well since i caught the flu, cough n fever bugs last Friday. In fact i last saw the doctor on 16th August for the same sickness. However i caught the bugs from school again just when i thought i have fully recovered.A few of my friends were coughing badly on Friday. All it took was just 2 hours at school to make me so sick again.
I have been coughing so bad then i threw up my dinner at night and for several times more in the middle of the night. The phlegm are making me so uncomfortable and i can't breathe well due to the blocked nose. Fri and sat nights were the worst. I could barely sleep and needed to catch up with my sleep from around 6am to 11plus in the morning. Luckily for Sun and last night, i slept better though i still have fever. Daddy and mummy brought me to the PD again this morning and this time, my lungs are not clear and i have to take antibiotics. If my fever is still not gone by Friday, i will have to come back to see the doctor again. Luckily for mummy, i enjoy taking the phlegm medication the most and the rest are also quite OK for me. Thus, she won't need to struggle in feeding me medications. I hope to get well soon so i can enjoy the rest of my planned activities.
I guess by resting more i should get better sooner. Fever, fever please go away and don't ever come back another day!

In the month of August

2010-08-26T11:58:00.007+08:00

August has been a pretty normal month. There wasn't much activities or special outings to share with all of you here. Hmmm.. mummy is too busy with her own stuffs and has no time to bring me out. Auntie Alicia has also popped her second prince Treven so she also didn't ask us out to go to Orchid Country Club Kids Ozone. I was down with cough and flu for the early part of August so i didn't go out much as well.
BUT.... September is going to be an exciting month. There will be many activities coming up. First of all is Teachers' Day on the 1st of Sep. There will be no school on 1st Sep but we are going to celebrate Teachers' Day on 31st August. Term 3 holidays will start from 4th Sep to 12th Sep. During the holidays daddy will be bringing mummy and me for a one night stay at Marina Bay Sands Hotel on 7th Sep to 8th Sep. Hope the weather will be great for lots of swimming. On the 11th Sep, i will finally be going to watch Barney Concert at Expo Hall. There will also be a lantern festival celebration on the 17th Sep. I have already gotten the tickets to attnd the celebration at the mega court next to Sun Plaza. On 18th Sep, mummy's colleague will be inviting us over to her new place for some kite flying and makan session. And on 30th Sep, we will be celebrating daddy's birthday!!!
I am really looking to a fun filled and eventful September. With so many activities packed, September will fly past very soon and then it will be my big day soon. Mummy is planning my 2nd birthday celebration now! I am so blessed.

Budding Magician

2010-08-18T14:11:00.003+08:00

MAGIC.......... Hey that's what i have been trying to show mummy. I will hide a toy behind my back then i tell mummy to see and say "no more" and ask mummy "where"? Then suddenly the toy will reappear and when mummy gave me the shock look, i laughs. It is so funny to see the look on mummy. So impressed by my "magic". Wakakakka!

National Day Celebration

2010-08-06T23:17:00.005+08:00

HAPPY 45th BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!

Today i am celebrating Singapore's Birthday at school and we are supposed to dress in red and white attire for today. Smiling happily and getting all ready to go to school.
Upon reaching the school, i couldn't smile and i look stony. This always happens when i am near the school premises.

Caris came to send Chloe and me off to school. We quickly took a snapshot together.

I walked into my class on my own and took off my shoes by myself. I even bid goodbye to mummy who's standing outside the door. See! No tears anymore!! : )

This pic is taken right after class. We made a national day party hat and teacher gave each of us a Singapore flag and a goody bag.
Smiling happily after school. Posing upon request.
Squatting down like mummy who's squatting to take this picture.
Walking to daddy's car. He came to fetch us home. Chloe is still posing for mummy while walking to daddy's car.
Talking on my phone to tell grandma that i had a great national day celebration at school today.

Going to School

2010-07-26T23:48:00.004+08:00

Times flies. It has been more than 3 weeks since i started attending playgroup classes. Only the first day i didn't cry, i even went into the class happily with Chloe and took off my shoes on my own. I guess i wasn't sure what was in store for me then. However after that first day at school, i cried everyday. I cry when i am about to enter class and the teacher will always have to carry me in. I cry when i got dismissed from class, i am always in teacher's arms when the door opens.
Today mummy dropped me off at school, as usual when i am nearing the school i will automatically be a koala and hold onto mummy. I refused to come down and walk. Mummy assured me that all is well and gave me lollipops to share with Chloe. Then she even brought me to buy yakult before class starts. Surprisingly i did not put up a struggle when mummy passed me over to my teacher. I didn't cry today! I think i made a good improvement. When grandmother came to fetch me, i didn't cry too. I do get scare at times when going to school but i really hope i settle in real fast and not let daddy and mummy worry about me.

Separation Anxiety Starts now

2010-07-15T00:07:00.002+08:00

It's been about 2 weeks since i started attending playgroup. Out of the 2 weeks, i missed school for youth day and 2 other days which i was sick. I am still learning to adapt going to school. I still cry when mummy hands me over to my teacher at the door and when i am waiting in line to go home. In between lessons, i will suddenly think of mummy and shed some tears. I guess it really take time getting used to this new change in my life. Mummy read from reports that separation anxiety starts from 18-24 mths and i am currently in this phase. Just today, i kept crying for mummy when i am at grandma's place. When i hope i will get better and be more independent when i hit 24 mths.

Fun Time at ECP

2010-07-13T23:52:00.005+08:00

See what a beautiful day it was at East Coast Park. ECP is polled as the happiest place in Singapore!
Mummy, Auntie Jaq and Me!
My family!

Playing with Janelle.
Just mummy and me.
I was at East Coast Park last Sunday with my parents and Auntie Jacqueline. Mummy wanted to cancel the pre-arranged beach outing initially as i just recovered from gastric flu. However she did not send out the message to Auntie Jacqueline as planned. So on Sunday morning, Auntie Jaq text ed mummy to meet at ECP at noon. Thus, we went ahead with the plan as mummy didn't want to "fly aeroplane".
The weather was perfect for a beach outing. Blue skies and white fluffy clouds. We had lunch at McDonald's and chilled out in the fast food joint for an hour or so. Then i went to take a kiddy ride before finding a shady spot under the coconut tree by the beach to lay out our "barang barangs".I was afraid of the sand and refused to walk on my own. Mummy and Auntie Jaq tried to coax me to try walking on the sandy patch. After some time and with the alluring beach spade, bucket, shovels, etc i decided to walk on my own and try out the beach toys on the sand. Then we headed out to the sea and touched the water. It was fun. I spent some time sitting by the beach and started digging. I was wet and the sand got all over me and i suddenly felt so dirty and screamed for help. I didn't want to play anymore and wanted mummy to carry me. Then mummy brought me to wash up at the public toilet. Then i sat on our beach mat and waited for Auntie Jaq's niece Janelle to come. She same shortly after and we started playing. The i saw her watering can and how much she was enjoying playing with sand and joined in.
Around 4 plus, daddy told us to pack up as we need to go home early to bathe before going out for dinner with my grandparents in the evening. On the way to the car park, we saw Auntie Shari and her friends. They were cycling in the park. But at that time, i was so dazed and could hardly focus. I slept within minutes when i got into the car.

@ 21 months

2010-07-10T00:23:00.003+08:00

Going 21 months:

All about me!

My current favourite cartoon character is "Mouse". He he.. i mean mickey and Minnie mouse. I love listening to their hot dog song and it never fails to get me on my feet to groove to the music. In fact i got mummy to buy me a mickey and a Minnie soft toys today. I refused to let go off the soft toys at the shop and held them tightly. Seeing that i wanted the toys so badly and i am unwell still, mummy relented and bought them for me.
Every weekday morning i will watch the wiggles DVD or the Chinese kid songs DVD before going to school. I can even sing along with some of the songs, emphasizing loudly on some of the lyrics of the songs. I ever changed the DVDs on my own and surprised mummy and daddy. They couldn't believe i knew how to operate that machine.
Up to date, i still cry whenever i get to the door at my school. I couldn't bear to part away from mummy. When mummy picks me up after school, i sometimes cry to seek sympathy from her so i can get away from going to school totally. Whenever someone asks me if i want to go to school, i will shake my head.
I have added a lot more vocabulary in my speech. I am also trying to string my words into a longer sentence instead of just one or two words. I am speaking more Chinese than English and grandma also taught me her dialect - Hakka. I am able to pronounce the words pretty accurately.
I can put on and take off my shoes. I used to wear my shoe on the wrong foot but i am now so much better at it. I wear my shoes right almost every time now and makes mummy proud of me.
At the playground, i can play on my own on the slide. I have learned to climb up the stairs to take the slide without mummy helping me. I enjoy playing the slide a lot.
I love to have noodles, hor fun, udon, etc. I am less interested in porridge and rice. I like meat in my meals and i simply loves hard boiled eggs. I take my greens and fruits well.

Sick Sick Sick

2010-07-09T00:26:00.002+08:00

I've only attended 4 days of school and i'm sick. Mummy is keeping me away from school for today and tomorrow. I woke up this morning and puked a little on myself and mummy. Mummy quickly washed me up and sat me back on my mattress while she cleaned herself up. Then i threw up even more and daddy got up to quickly clean me up again while mummy was in the shower. Then mummy gave me some water and not long after, i puked again. Seeing that it wasn't just a simple case of vomiting through overeating , daddy decided to send me to the doc. Luckily daddy hasn't left for work so he drove us to see my PD at AMK Spore Baby & Child Clinic. Upon arriving at the doc's, i threw up away and all over mummy. We both smell really bad when we reached the clinic. Surprisingly, there was no queue at the clinic and i got to see the doc immediately after registration. I was suspected to suffer from some sort of intestinal virus. The doc advised mummy to give me just milk, water and juices bit by bit and monitor me closely so i don't get dehydrated. I was having a slight fever too. Mummy and daddy are told to keep their hands clean after handling me to prevent the infectious virus from spreading to them. PD also told mummy that i might be having diarrhoea at a later stage. True enough i did have diarrhoea twice today. On the way back, i threw up several times. I was feeling lousy every time i threw up and got pretty cranky. After cleaning up, i was back to my active self again. I really hate taking the medicine. The only medicine i took without fussing is paracetamol. The rest i took a sip and rejected it. Mummy had a hard time coaxing me to take my medicine. Mummy tried feeding me glucose and soy milk. I rejected both. I started getting suspicious whenever she hands me a bottle. After some rest tonight, i do hope i will wake up fine and my vomiting and diarrhoea will stop. Pray for me!

2nd day of school

2010-07-02T15:05:00.002+08:00

The weather is so hot today, to prevent mummy and myself from "melting" by the time we reached school on foot, we are taking the bus. Most probably we will taking the bus to school from today onwards. 20mins walk to the school under the sweltering heat is no joke. I don't wanna risk getting a heat stroke besides the awful tan i may be getting as well.
All was well and i was feeling happy on the way to school. However when i was about to enter the class, i cried for mummy to carry me. I clung onto her tightly and refused to let go. My teacher came and carried me over from mummy. Several other kids were crying today. Most are the Indian kids, i think about 2-3 of them. They were wailing. I was crying. Mummy stayed outside my school and waited for 10 mins to see if i have stop crying before leaving. Luckily i did stop crying after a while then she felt assured and left the school. One of my classmate is celebrating his birthday today and i got a goodies bag from him. When mummy came to fetch me after school, i was in my teacher's arms. I was crying and my teacher carried me to console me. It didn't help when i saw so many people coming to fetch me today. Both Grandmothers are here and so were gugu and shu shu. After some consolation, i managed to stop crying and then Caris came running over to fetch Chloe and me and i gave a Happy squeak and started feeling happy again. After that shu shu drove us to have lunch at "Bai Mee Fen" coffee shop.

I kept running to this area to sanitize my hands despite repeated warnings from mummy not to play with the hand sanitizer. : p

Today is the 1st day I'm attending school at Kindercom Educare. Auntie Alicia gave us a ride to school as she was on the way to pick up Trysten who enrolled in the same school but in the morning class. I was looking forward to school and i asked to carry my Minnie mouse school bag on my own to school. I was so happy to see Chloe, Da Yi and Grandma outside the school. When it was time for us to enter the classroom, Chloe led me in. Then i followed her and sat down to take off my shoes. All this time, mummy was outside the class and i didn't even say bye bye to her. I merely followed Chloe in and followed what she did. Mummy went for lunch with auntie Alicia and fetch me when my class ended. Mummy was a few minutes late and i was the last 3 to be dismissed, i started to cry. Later mummy found out from my teacher that i did cry once in a while during the class but as it's my 1st day of school, it is considered good already. After my class, we went to Orchid Country Club with Auntie Alicia, Trysten and Auntie Grace. We went to Little Ozone, a indoor playground to have some fun time.

To the Farms!

2010-06-27T23:56:00.004+08:00

At Pasir Ris Farmway 1, the Kids Kampong!

Mummy paying for some fish food.
Fish Feeding starts now!
Throw, Throw, Throw. That's what i uttered with every fish feeding action.
All the koi swimming towards us. They got really close to us.. greedy fishes!
And there's more over here.

Longkang fishing at Bottle Tree

2010-06-26T23:22:00.005+08:00

Bottle Tree Village
Say Cheese!
Can you see what's inside the pond?
So many coins and fishes inside the pond.
Me and my pathetic fish net. How to catch fish like this?
All in a day's catch. 7 fishes in all. 3 goldfish, 4 longkang fish.
Cool huh? Not me, i mean the magnificent tree behind me!
Jumping around the bottle tree.
Time for a H2O break!
At the sandy playground and me trying to make my way up on the slide.
Soaking ourselves in the sun and enjoying the breeze.

Today mummy decided to bring me to Bottle Tree Village for some Longkang fishing. She arranged with Da Yi to bring my 2 cousins along as well. Da Yi came to our place to pick us up and we reached the Bottle Tree Village at 4plus. The sun was shining high up in the sky, the place was crowded with lots of kids and their parents. The pond was packed with many people.. Mummy paid $10 to get a fish tank and a fishing net. I was very gungho and i took off my shoes and followed mummy into the shallow fish pond. Caris and Chloe were both afraid and did not join me in the pond. They stayed on the land and guarded the fish tank, waiting for us to catch some fish. The fish swam very swift and it was very hard to catch them with our small fishing net. About 10 mins later, the crew at Bottletree released a bag of fish into the pond and a small handful of goldfish. As goldfish swims slower, mummy managed to catch 3 of them. I tried to swing my net in the water but i couldn't catch any fish. I decided that soaking in the pond is more fun than catching fish and sat in one corner of the pond splashing the water away. After about 45 mins, we have 7 fish in our tank and decided to end the fishing activity. Mummy quickly washed me up and we proceeded to the play area. We spent about 20 mins playing the swing and taking the slide before going granny's house for dinner. All of us were starving after all the activities.

Fidgets!

2010-06-24T19:01:00.001+08:00

At Fidgets.
Whoa.... so many balls.
Hey, these balls can't bounce.
Holding on to the pillar for support before positioning myself well enough to go down the slide.
Ok, i'm ready to let go of my hand and slide down.
What's that in front of me? Better stop first.
Ball pit at the little fidgets corner.
Going up to the slide thru an alternative route.

Last Tues, Mummy arranged a playdate with Auntie G and Baby T to Fidgets at Turf City. Daddy drove us there early in the morning around 9.30am. We took an hour to reach the place as there were a lot of jams along the expressway. Fidgets was crowded with a lot of kids and parents. Mummy felt that Fidgets wasn't as fun for me as compared to Polliwogs and Go Go Bambini. It wasn't friendly for kids at my age for the main section as the obstacles were not designed to allow our parents to follow us through. The tunnels were too small to let a normal sized adult through. Thus most of the time i was confined to the little fidgets corner. Anyway as long as i'm out, i will definitely enjoy myself. After 1 hour plus or so, we went for lunch at Ah Yat restuarant. We had dim sum and the food were yummy. After lunch, we went to Auntie G's house and we stayed there for 2 hours or so before daddy came to fetch us home.

A fun day at the fish farm

2010-06-11T19:39:00.002+08:00

At Xin Wang Cafe, we had our lunch before heading to Mainland Tropical Fish Farm at Pasir Ris.
This is our first outing together. See how excited we are to start exploring the fish farm.
Look at the beautiful koi fishes.
There's a little goldfish in there. Seems like most people missed it. Me pointing out the goldfish to mummy
Finally it's feeding time. I tried to pour some food out onto my hand. Trysten wants some too.
Whoa! The kois are really hungry!
Pouring more food out onto my hand. I must be more efficient, the fishes are still very hungry.
There's a little duck on the floating merry go round, it was going round and round and round. It didn't dare to swim over to us.
There are also many tortoises in the pond.
More fishes for feeding. Waiting for Auntie Alicia to get some more fish food from the farm.
Mummy managed to catch a chick and showed it to us. Here's a brave Trysten trying to pat it. I'm very afraid, i think i will just stick to my seat on the swing.
Head and shoulders, knees and toes... my current favourite song.
Look how happy and excited i am when i sat on the swing. I really love sitting on the swing.
Auntie Alicia and Trysten posing for a picture.
Here's a picture of mummy and me on the kiddy table.

And one more shot on the swing before we leave the farm.

After the farm visit, we went to downtown east to walk around. There's a kids indoor playground called explorer. We didn't go into explorer as it was already quite late. So we had some waffles and ice cream at gelare before calling it a day!

Iphone Overdose

2010-06-08T11:29:00.003+08:00

Both daddy and mummy felt that i am having an overdose on iphones. Everynow and then you will see me holding one and watching so intensely at the you tube videos, my photos and video clips or some kids applications. Daddy is really worried about me getting myopic at a tender age and also absorbing all the harmful radiations emitting from the small but powerful machines. In no time, i believe daddy is going to announce an official ban of iphones usage on me.
I enjoy using the iphones to watch you tube videos of the wiggles and other kids songs. I have watched videos over and over again and i have learned to sing "Row your boat", "twinkle twinkle little star", "abc","head, shoulders, knees and toes" and "if you are happy".* Disclaimer, i can't sing the full song with all the words intact but i can emphasis on certain words of the songs and actions included.* Just the other night, i was in mummy's room and i started singing "head....." and quickly pointing to my toes. Mummy was scratching her head wondering what am i doing and then she understood what i was doing. I was actually singing "head, shoulders, knees and toes" with actions. Mummy was so thrilled and greatly amused by my actions. Come 1st July, i will be joining Chloe at her playgroup at Kindercom. I believed i will have a great time learning singing and dancing along with the other kids in school.

After effects of Immunisations

2010-06-02T19:02:00.000+08:00

I was very whiney after my jabs yesterday. Nothing seems to appease me and mummy couldn't understand what i want. I made noise at the slightest irritation. I didn't want to drink milk and just want to latch but after a while i pulled away and i get whiney before asking to latch again. Mummy made me some ribena and i took less than half of it. I went to bed around 11 plus and when mummy went to bed at around 2am, she discovered i was feeling feverish. My temperature reading was 37.9 degrees celsius. Dr Goh has pre-empted mummy that after MMR jab, fever may occur on the fifth day. She didn't know i will run a fever so fast and on the day of the jabs. Mummy didn't give me medicine but she checked my temperature again at 5am. Then my fever has went up to slightly over 38 degrees celsius. She fed me paracetamol and i took 1 hour before falling asleep at 6am when the day was breaking. When i woke up at 10.30am in the morning, my fever has subsided. I will continue to be monitored for my fever. Hope it will stay controlled or better still disappear.

Urgh.. Injections!

2010-06-01T15:33:00.003+08:00

Mummy and i met up with Auntia Alicia and Trysten for lunch at Sun Plaza today. I was pretty shy and didn't interact much with Trysten. Only much later when we came down from our baby seats then we played together for a while. Then i ran and bumped my head onto the table edge and got a swelling on my forehead. I cried. After lunch, Auntie Alicia gave us a ride to Peace Clinic at sembawang. I was supposed to take my long over due MMR jab and my 5in1 jab booster at 15 mth and 18 mth respectively. As i was due to start playgroup on 1st July, mummy wants me to take pneumococcus jab as well. There are so many catch ups to do on my jabs. Peace Clinic was closed from 1st to 6th June and mummy brought me to Kidslink Clinic instead. At my 19 plus mth assessment, i now stands at 81cm tall and weighs 10.7kg. Dr Goh told mummy i could took 2 jabs today. In the end i was given MMR on the left thigh and the 5in1 booster on the right. For the 1st jab (MMR) i cried for a very short while but the 2nd jab, i cried all the way home. It was due to exhaustion as i have not taken my afternoon nap and i started getting grouchy. Once back at home, mummy put me to nap and i fell asleep shortly. Today is not a good day for me. I got a bump and 2 painful jabs.

Kidslink children's clinic will be moving out next week and Dr Goh will be moving over to Spore Baby and Child Clinic in AMK. Mummy was so sad to hear of this news and there will be no PD clinic around in sembawang. Kidslink Clinic is just a stone throw away from our place. Next time, we will have to travel further for my jabs.

Genting Highlands Road Trip 26th-28thmay

2010-06-01T00:23:00.006+08:00

Finally reaching our destination. First World Hotel Carpark. Waiting for Da Yi Zhang and Xiao Yi Zhang to park their cars and load off their luggages.
Yippee!! Still can't believe i have reached Genting in approximately 4.5 hrs ride. Waiting at First World Hotel lobby during checking in.
In grandma and mummy's hotel room 2921. Caris and Chloe love popping over to play with me. They stayed just opposite our room (2933).
Posing for the camera with some really funny poses from Caris and Chloe.
Dinning at Coffee Terrace Cafe on the first night. Look at the both of us sipping water gracefully and silently from the glasses. That's what i call good table manners.
Taking kiddy rides at the game arcade on the night of our arrival at Genting. Preview to the theme parks. I sat through the same ride for 4-5 times simply by swiping the game credit card against the sensor. Mummy spent rm10 for the 10 rides.
Feel a bit grumpy because i had to queue a while for my very first ride at the outdoor theme park. Behind me is Da Yi who's taking temperature reading for Caris. She was hospitalised due to high fever and fits. She only got discharged the day before the trip but all was well for her during the trip. The fun and cool weather cured her.
The air is so cool up here and the wind blew the fog over the entire theme park.
Airplane ride. Here's a picture of me in the air. I just staring blankly that's all. I am not afraid of taking this ride.
At the outdoor theme park. Caris and Da Yi Zhang on the jumbo elephant ride. This elephant can take us really high up in the air all by the press of a button. Whew!! Fun.
Caris says "V for Victory". Chloe and me posed as per normal. Picture taken after our baths, all set to explore the theme park.
Caris, Chloe, me and Xiao Yi Zhang. We had a fun time running after Xiao Yi Zhang and here's a picture of us.
Daily must have activity. Bubbles Time! The 3 of us simply adores bubbles and had a real good time playing bubbles along the hotel corridor. Usually mummy will play with us but the bubble gun seems to be slightly faulty so Da Yi Zhang took over.
Me and my pretty necklace that mummy got for me while shopping at Genting malls. It comes with the bracelets as well.
28th May 2010. After lunch @ Hou Mei Cafe and some baskin robbins ice cream. Taking some pictures before heading home.

New Stuffs i learned to do

2010-05-21T01:34:00.002+08:00

After sticking to mummy 24/7 during our 5 days trip to Phuket she realized i have grown up a lot. I have done a lot of funny and silly actions and said a lot of stuffs she didn't know i was capable of. And of course my "xiao jie pi qi" also got more prominent.

1. During shopping, i will walk several steps and then kneel down before standing up and repeating the whole process again and again.
2. Mummy frequently apply sunscreen for me before swimming and i start mimicking her actions. I will pretend to pour some lotion on my palm and then dab with my finger and applying onto my face.
3. I scream and cry to get the things i want - in my way! I fake crying a lot.
4. I can turn on the you tube application on mummy's iphone and play my favorite Mickey Mouse Hotdog song and some of my favorite hits.
5. I can walk and i mean i can really walk a lot during shopping.
6. I know how to shop, i go into a shop and start looking at the items displayed and occasionally picking up the merchandise to feel them.
7. I tell mummy to "bao" (carry me), "xia"(let me down), "wo yao" (i want), hot, see,bye, etc.
8. I am learning to sing along with my favorite tunes like ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars.

My First Trip - Phuket

2010-05-19T20:48:00.002+08:00

I went on my first trip to Phuket Thailand on 14th May to 18th May 2010 to celebrate mummy's 30th birthday. Daddy paid for the trip as mummy's birthday present. We left for the airport at 10am on 14th may. Our flight was scheduled at 1pm but we left earlier to have lunch there and checked in early. Mummy latched me on while the plane was moving on the runway to help reduce the pressure on my ears when the plane takes off. Before the plane got up into the sky, i was already asleep. Mummy was relieved to see me sleeping soundly for the next 1 hour plus. The entire flight took 1 hr and 50 mins and when i woke up, mummy quickly stuffed me with my stickers n sticker book to keep me occupied. I was so busy with the stickers and didn't gave mummy any trouble. Upon reaching phuket, we still need to take a 45mins ride to our hotel at Millennium Patong Resort. Once when we checked into the hotel(3pm local time), i was so happy and started exploring the hotel room. Mummy can sense my happiness and i was so relax and looked set on enjoying my holiday. Before going for our dinner at Fuji Japanese Restaurant, i took a long nap. Then we went shopping at Jungceylon shopping mall and the nearby night market. It rained shortly and we went back to the hotel.
On the second day we went to explore the nearby malls and shops. Most of the time, we relaxed in our room and went swimming in the late afternoon. On the 3rd day which is mummy's birthday, we planned a half day tour to elephant trekking, watch monkey show, elephant show and snake show. Then we went to the Cashew Nut factory and also to Wat Chalong temple before ending the day at Phromthep Cape to watch the sunset. I slept throughout the first and last activities of the tour. I didn't realize i ride on an elephant as i slept soundly through the bumpy ride. I only woke up after we stepped off the elephant's back. The weather was really hot and i didn't like to perspire. After the tour we had a rest at the hotel before going to Savoey Restaurant for dinner. On the fourth day, we went to the premium outlet for some shopping. There are many shops there but their stuffs wasn't really cheap and daddy only bought a shirt for himself and a mini soccer ball for me. After that we headed back to the hotel for a swim again and some last minute shopping before we fly back on 18th May.
We woke up real early at 7am on tues, our flight was 10am and we checked out of the hotel 8am. I was very tired as didn't sleep enough and got a bit cranky on the flight back. I fussed for a while and slept a little on the flight. To sum it up, i did enjoy my trip and had fun shopping and some sight seeing. I guessed mummy was the most tired person during the trip because she has to practically run after me most of the time. She carried me along for most of the time as i was being too proud to allow daddy to carry me. Nevertheless, i wish mummy a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love you and daddy!

Attack of the flu bugs

2010-05-10T18:38:00.005+08:00

It was mummy's 2nd Mother's Day yesterday. However i haven't learn to speak well enough to wish her a happy mother's day nor have i master the skill of painting a mother's day card for her. I know the greatest present to mummy is for me to be healthy and happy. Sad to speak, i fell sick with the flu bug yesterday. My nose was runny and leaking like a tap. I kept sneezing the whole day. "Ah Choo..... Ah Choo.... excuse me."
There were some flu like symptoms earlier but somehow mummy managed to keep it under control by applying baby vicks on me. It only got serious yesterday. Luckily i was still feeling well enough to sleep last night. This morning, mummy brought me to see the pd at Kidslink. I need to get well soon for my trip to Phuket this friday. I was extremely active at the clinic. I was busy playing in the little kitchen and dragging stuffs around the clinic. The doc told mummy i should be fine to travel this friday. Ok i shall take my medicine religiously so i will get well before my trip. Flu bugs, please get far away from me!

Uncle Shuen's Wedding

2010-05-09T17:37:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was Uncle Shuen's customary wedding. I went over to Grandma's house at around 9.30am. I was so surprised to see so many relatives and friends at Grandma's place and felt a little shy initially. However after a while, i was more warmed up and began to mingle with the guests. It was a pity that i wasn't in a very cheerful mood. I blamed it on lack of sleep and the beginning of a flu bug attack. I wasn't as active and happy as usual. Just when the pretty bride and handsome groom arrived to take some family photos, the "Z" monster crept in on me. I took several shots before succumbing to the "Z" monster. Then i was knocked out for a good 1.5hrs. After my nap, i took my milk before going back home to rest and recharge my battery a little to prepare for the long night.
Mummy made me nap again at 4pm and her make up artist came at around 5.15pm. Mummy was having her make up done while i was snoozing next to her on the bed. I woke up at around 5.45pm but i lazed in bed watching mummy being dolled up. After mummy was done, she dressed me up and we left for Orchid Country Club. It was such a hectic day, i had my early dinner in the car while daddy was driving us to the country club. I was enjoying the chawanmushi and steamed rice that mummy made for me and i managed to finish up my meal just before reaching our destination.
The reception area was quite roomy and i had a lot of fun running around and taking pictures. Daddy was keeping a watchful eye over me while mummy manned the reception with Gu Gu. I played with some little children and was so happy. There was a lot of places for me to run around and some relatives took turns to carry me. I was kept very busy the entire night. Back at the Bridal table, i took some shark fin soup, chicken and scallops. I had a little snack that mummy bought along for me as well. I really enjoyed myself and i wished Uncle Shuen and Jiamin Shen Shen a very blissful marriage!

Wiggles Kids

2010-05-05T23:54:00.003+08:00

Recently mummy has been pretty busy attending some courses. So most days are spent at grandma's place. However on monday, i was at PoPo's house while Da Yi and mummy went for their facial appointments. I really love company and was happy to play with Chloe. Sadly, Caris was enjoying herself at downtown east and wasn't home till evening time. When she was back, she turned on to her favourite Wiggles DVD and in no time, we were singing and dancing to the music. I kinda love Wiggles too cos they always sing happy songs. I can co-ordinate my arms and legs movements better and i can really grooved to the music. Wakakaka. Mummy also downloaded some wiggles clips from Youtube onto her iphone so i can watch Wiggles any time i want to.

Super Wet Day at the Zoo

2010-04-26T22:23:00.004+08:00

Hump...!!! It was raining the whole day at the Zoo. It was supposed to be a good trip cos i have good company like Zachary, Auntie E-Wen, Yu-Qi and Auntie Joyce and all of us have been looking forward to this trip. Mummy and i left the house all bright and sunny but when we reached the zoo at 10am the dark clouds were looming. Just after we cleared the entrance, it's started drizzling followed by slightly heavier rain. By the time we settled down at Ah Meng Cafe, it was POURING and for a long long time. While waiting for the rain to stop, we had snacks, played with our mummies' iphones, played with my new puzzle, teared up the paper serviette into shreds, ate lunch, fight over stuffs, screamed and perhaps day dreamed a little. When the rain got lighter, we decided to venture out as all of us are starting to get restless. We managed to see orange utans, zebras, giraffes, elephants and when we reached the kidz world the rain got heavier. We shopped in the souvenir shop while waiting for the rain to stop. Well, that didn't really happen though. The mummies then armed themselves with ponchos and umbrellas and off we go around the zoo. They were trying to make us nap in our strollers and slowly one by one, we fell asleep. Then we headed back to Ah Meng Cafe. The mummies were chatting when we napped for 1 hour or so. The sky started clearing up and eventually the rain stopped. We proceeded to kidz world and Zac and i fed the goats. I tried feeding the goats a few times but i was so afraid. Zac is the brave one, he was so happy feeding them. After that we had a little splash time at the water play area. The water was cold but who cares, we had so much fun playing in it. Qi Qi didn't join in because she didn't want to. We spent a total of 7 hours in the zoo but we didn't cover much places due to the bad weather.

Good?

2010-04-26T01:10:00.003+08:00

Daddy was telling mummy happily that i managed to give the thumb up sign for "good". However i am able to do it with my left hand only. My right hand will still have my thumb and index finger sticking out. Daddy was wondering if i will turn out to be left handed as even for drawing, i like to hold the pen with my left hand. Ha ha, grandpa was telling mummy today to train me to write with my right hand as that is supposed to be the "right" way!
Today is also Uncle Shuen's Guo Da Li day, his wedding will be held on 8th May which is only 2 weeks away.

Graffiti or Abstract Art?

2010-04-24T19:13:00.003+08:00

Look at my "painting"! It's up on the wall next to the common toilet. Mummy heard some sounds of scribbling on a rough surface and before she could figure out where the sound came from my "painting" was up on the wall. After this episode, mummy make sure she will not leave any colour pencils or writing materials lying around the house. If not, my house will become an art gallery soon.

The sky is falling

2010-04-23T19:00:00.002+08:00

The weather(north area) had been very predictable lately. It usually rains in the late afternoon for the current week and accompanied by lightning and thunders. There was 1 particular day last week where the thunders kept roaring continuously for a good 30 mins or so. It really frightened me. I am very afraid of sudden loud noises and will keep saying "pah pah" while patting myself on the chest. That night i actually had nightmares. Must be the thunder roars that frightened the shit out of me.

My Gymboree Apparels

2010-04-23T18:41:00.002+08:00

These are the stuffs from Gymboree that mummy bought for me. Initially mummy only wanted to get a sunhat for me but since she needs to pay for shipping charges, she might as well order more stuffs for me. In the end she even roped in Shangjuan Yi Yi to spree together so they can share the shipping charges. In that way, both mummies will be happy to have nice clothes for their babies and Trevis and me will be happy to have new clothes to wear. : )

Dirty little gal

2010-04-17T23:41:00.003+08:00

Mummy caught me playing with my saliva today. I made foamy saliva and it dripped onto my clothes making it wet. I turned a deaf ear to mummy's repeated warnings and this got her mad. She "rewarded" me with a scolding and a light slap on my cheek. oh well, i will try not to play with my saliva again.

I'm going to school

2010-04-15T14:44:00.002+08:00

Mummy brought me to Kindercom Education Centre yesterday and she enrolled me for a 2 hour playgroup starting 1st of July 2010. Caris has graduated from Kindercom but Chloe is still attending classes there. Mummy brought me to the centre to see if i like the environment while the classes were still on. Chloe was paying attention to her teacher and she was so happy there. She kept smiling and waving to us through the glass windows. The teacher in charge Miss Yang gave me some toys and i happily played with it while mummy was filling up the registration form. The monthly fees is $140 and material fees for 6 months is $70. Mummy also bought me a set of the uniform at $15. As i am Caris and Chloe cousin, my registration fee was waived off. I am looking forward to start my school term and make many friends at Kindercom.

My Sunday

2010-04-05T00:13:00.005+08:00

2nd time at the swing. I had to queue up for my turn. Too many children at the park on a sunday.
Look at my "sian" face, just cried and calmed down after my fall.

Sunday was a wet day. It was raining in the afternoon when we went to SSC New York New York for lunch. After that we had a quick trip to Giant supermarket to stock up on my milk powder before returning home. When the rain stopped, mummy asked daddy to bring me to Sembawang park. The park was pretty crowd and we had to park our car at a car park further away. We had to take a long walk to reach the playground n the jetty. On the way to the play ground, i started running while on a downward slope, before mummy could finish saying " Please don't run, you will fall", i took a tumble. I tripped, fell to my knees and as it was a downward slope i made a 360 degrees turn and landed on my right face. Daddy and mummy both witnessed the whole episode of me falling but they could not do anything to help me. Luckily my speed wasn't too fast and i fell quite lightly onto the ground thus my wounds weren't serious. I cried a bit but was back to normal after a short while. After that i went to play at the swing and after a walk to the jetty, we headed back home. After dinner, Xiao Yi and Yi Zhang came over to my place with Kady to take my "Yao Lan". Mummy decided to lend my yao lan to xiao yi as Kady needed it more than me. Although i still sleeps in Yao Lan (afternoons only) but i am easily adaptable, the bed will do just fine. Mummy helped to feed Kady milk and half way through the feed, she was crying so hard. I felt bad about her crying and went over to give her a hug and kissed her on her feet to hush her. Usually i get jealous whenever mummy holds another baby but today i wasn't so bad, i let mummy carry Kady for some time. Hope little Kady will be more obedient and don't cry so loud.

Jurong Bird Park

2010-03-30T23:32:00.004+08:00

Yippee! First trip to Jurong Bird Park.
Outside the penguin enclosure. Penguins are so adorable.
I like this place cos it's very cold... see the penguins in the background.
With the colourful parrots behind us. Say Cheese!
At the flamingo pond, the weather is getting hotter and i'm not keen in smiling.
That's the man made waterfall behind us.
Getting tired and grouchy. Only after 30 mins in the park.

Outside the souvenir shop and a little shopping before we end the day.
And i got a little parrot soft toy. Thanks Mummy!

I visited Jurong Bird Park with daddy and mummy yesterday. The weatherman forecast that there will be rain in the late afternoon so we reached the park slightly before noon. There were so many species of birds in the park but i must say i like the penguins the most. First all all, they are so cute when they waddle about and secondly their home is air conditioned. I felt really good when i am inside the penguins area. When mummy asked me to smile for the camera, i happily obliged. Next, we saw parrots. We queued up to have a family picture taken with the colorful birds near to the entrance. I saw many species of parrots, flamingos, ostrich, eagles, swans, mandarin ducks, pelicans and many others. However as we strolled in the park, i got more grouchy and ignored daddy when he took pictures for mummy and me. I didn't want to answer or look at him. Mummy blamed it on the weather that i was grouchy and she was right. Just before we leave the park, we visited the penguins again and i was all smiles. The sun was really strong and the portable fan didn't relieve much of the heat i'm feeling. At 1pm, we went to see the birds n buddies show, the birds are all very intelligent. They can perform lots of tricks, all the children were very entertained by them. Just before we left the park, mummy bought me a souvenir. It was a parrot soft toy. Then i go " Bird", "Bird", "Bird".

A day at Seletar Reservoir

2010-03-28T14:24:00.002+08:00

See the beautiful weather. the sky is blue, the trees are green and the wind is blowing.
My cousins and me. Trying to take a quick picture and not losing our balance. I feel that squatting is safer.
My family!
Mummy and me... the sun is setting.
Relaxing at the bence after a long walk.

My 2nd Trip to the Zoo

2010-03-22T18:25:00.004+08:00

Filling in those big shoes at the kangaroo section.
Smiling at daddy when i am on my favourite tram ride in the zoo.
Mummy and me at the polar bear enclosure. Was feeling tired at this time.
Was so happy n excited when i finally got the chance to"walk" around the Zoo.
Do i look like a dancing ballerina on water? Me having fun playing at the water play area.

Daddy and mummy brought me to the Zoo today. The weather was bright and sunny when we set off at 11am. As the March holidays just ended and today being a monday, the zoo was not crowded at all. It's best to come at this time because we don't have to fight with the crowd when queuing for the tickets, taking the tram ride, finding space to take pictures, etc. I wasn't in my best mood today, was actually slightly tired and wasn't co-operative taking photos. And more so because i was stuck in my stroller. I saw the white faced monkeys, white tigers, polar bears, giraffes, rhinoceros, snakes just to name a few. I love taking the tram rides and i will sit down quietly with mummy n daddy and enjoying the breeze when the tram moves. My last stop at the zoo was the Rainforest Kidzworld, I was enjoying myself at the wet play area. I played with a bigger sister and followed her around the wet play area. However my happiness was short lived, the skies darkened n threatened to rain. Mummy scooped me up and quickly showered. Just when i was changing, it rained and we had to stay inside the KFC restaurant to wait for the rain to stop before going home.

Kady's Full Month

2010-03-22T18:16:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was Baby Kady's full month party. We reached their house at 2pm sharp. There were a lot of people at Ah yi's house. I was so busy entertaining the guests and was seen walking in and out of the rooms. I was so comfortable with the people (practically strangers as i don't know any of yi zhang's relatives) and was hanging out with them in the entertainment room. Mummy and daddy were both seated outside the room and they were eyeing my every move in the room. They were so surprised to see that i acted as if i know all the people in the room. One auntie tried putting on her daughter's hairband on me and the uncles were trying to hold my hand and playing with me.
Kady was quite awake during the party and i kept looking at her when mummy's ex confinement lady was carrying her. Kady's so sweet and cute. After the party we met grandpa n grandma at Northpoint Harvey Norman as they were shopping for a new television set.

Food Tasting @ OCC

2010-03-20T23:04:00.002+08:00

Last thursday, we went to Orchid Country Club for food tasting. Xiao Shu is holding his wedding dinner at the club house in May this year. I was very obedient for 90% of the time. I sat down in my baby chair and kept myself entertained with the stuffs mummy brought along for me. I used my itouch to play songs on you tube. I spread my palm wide and indicated to gu gu that we got to wait for the song to be loaded fully. While playing with my stuffs, mummy also fed me with some chicken, fish, broccoli and rice. I am very happy to be able to eat together with the adults and i enjoyed the food they were eating. I also started to nod my head much to mummy's surprise. I only know how to shake my head for the past 16 mths and i finally learned to nod my head. Towards the end of the dinner, i couldn't sit still any longer and decided to walk around the club house. I love climbing up and down the stairs.

17 months old

2010-03-16T16:15:00.002+08:00

I'm 17 month old today! In another months time, i will have reached the childcare going age of 18 months. Mum probably won't send me for any playgroups yet till i turn 24 month, she's worried that my immune system is not fully developed and prone to catch those sick buggies home. Oh well, then i will just wait.
Hey, mummy just upgraded my tooth brush and i am currently using one with bristles. Mummy showed me how she brushed her teeth and i learned to brush my teeth using my new tooth brush. During bath times, i will brush my teeth. It's fun and i love the taste of my fruity tooth paste.
I love to jump but haven't quite succeeded. Just can't lift both my feet off the ground at the same time. When mummy says "jump", i obliged immediately and will look quite awkward trying to lift my heavy butt n feet of the floor. Who cares.

Smiling cheekily has been a favorite past time too. Whenever i sees daddy n mummy coming over to grandma's place for dinner, i will raise one of my shoulders, tilt my head on the raised shoulder and give my best-est smile. Sometimes, i cover my mouth and guffaws.
Laughter is the best medicine!

Hate rides on car seat

2010-03-10T12:17:00.004+08:00

Just a week ago, i started this hysterical crying whenever daddy fetch me to and from grandma's place. I disliked being strapped onto the car seat. I will cry all the way home and mummy wasn't on board to entertain me. Sniff!!! Just last night, i cried again when seated in the car seat but daddy decided to play some children music to soothe me and i actually felt slightly better. I didn't cry as loud but just some whining and sniffles...

My recent updates

2010-02-23T14:54:00.003+08:00

"Dog". That's what i will say whenever i saw a picture of the dog in my books or a real dog in my neighbourhood now. That's the 3rd animal i learned to say following fish and bird.
I also learned to call Grandpa "Gong Gong" though it very much depends on my mood. Grandpa has been waiting to hear me call him for the longest time. Whenever he heard me calling "Ah Ma" loud and clear and many many times, he gets more jealous and hope i call him soon.
I'm so fascinated with jumping and tried to jump. Sigh. I simply can't keep my legs off the ground and lift my heavy butt. Maybe some day i will. Soon....
Dancing along to music. Hey that's really is fun and i like to bend my knees and go up and down.
Clapping and smiling really wide when i heard mummy singing" if u are happy and u know u clap your hands" .....
Sticking my fingers into my mouth very frequently. I like to feel the tooth that is sprouting out and i think the last 4 milk teeth will be out very soon.
Winking and smiling without seeing my eyes when asked to smile at the camera.
Telling mummy "Nei" when i'm so hungry and mummy didn't feed me automatically.
Passing tins of CNY goodies to mummy and make noises to ask her to open so i can eat.
Walking very fast and refusing to hold onto mummy/daddy's hand. Attempting to run at times. Loves to walk and walk and walk for very long.
Cries and get jealous whenever my parents carry some one's kid/baby.
Throw litter into the dustbin when instructed.

I love CNY!

2010-02-22T17:05:00.005+08:00

Trying to be cheeky when asked to smile for the camera.

Having fun stacking the packet drinks with Ernest

This Chinese New Year is a much better one than the last because i get to play with lots of friends, i can walk everywhere i want to, i get to eat lots of food, i get to wear pretty clothes, i get to go out till late almost everyday and i get lots of red packets from relatives and friends. Last year, i could only watched but barely understood what was going on. It was a string of outings and events all through the festive period. We kicked started the Tiger Year with a reunion dinner with my grandparents, parents, uncle and aunt on the Eve of CNY at Beaulieu House at Sembawang Park. Then it was to my grandparents' house. On day 1 of CNY, we visited grandma at her house and met all my Ah Yis there. After that we visited Da Gu Po at her house and had our lunch there. Then we went to my great grand parents house and stayed for dinner. After dinner, we proceeded to Great Uncle house. On day 2 of CNY, i stayed at grandma place most of the time because our relatives came over to visit. On day 3 of CNY, we went to meet uncle Andy and Emily Yi yi at Thai express at Junction 8 before going to their place for some card games. Then it was to mummy's cousins' place in woodlands before we called it a day. I really enjoyed myself a lot with all the visitations to my relatives and friends' place.

Shopping for Valentine's Day & CNY

2010-02-12T19:17:00.002+08:00

Today i went shopping at Orchard with mummy as mummy needed to get a Valentine's Day gift for daddy and also helped daddy with some last minute shopping for CNY clothes. We shopped at Takashimaya, Paragon, Tangs and Scotts Isetan from 1.30pm to 4.30 pm. I must say we did pretty well because we managed to get the things we wanted. Mummy bought a Gucci wallet for daddy and clothes from Levi's, Ecko and FCUK. I had been very obedient and co-operative throughout the shopping. I just slept in my carrier when i got tired. I enjoyed shopping with mummy.

Walk in the Park

2010-02-12T19:08:00.004+08:00

At Sembawang Park with Caris and Chloe yesterday.

Enjoying walking alone and refusing mummy to hold my hand.

Finally, a little rest to enjoying the wind at the park. See my hair is so messy.

Walking at the jetty.

Ending the evening with some swinging at the playground. This was the first time i'm on the swing and i wasn't afraid at all. "Mummy, swing me higher."

To market to market...

2010-02-07T12:25:00.004+08:00

Yawn!! Woke up at 7.40am this morning and happened to see daddy off to work. Then at 8 plus, i had a quick shower before going out with mummy to meet 3rd Ah Yi. They have planned to go to the wet market together to prepare food for tonight steamboat reunion dinner at Grandma's house.
We took a bus to the market and before we reach, i had fallen asleep in my beco carrier. Mummy and Ah yi were fighting their way through the crowd in the market and i still managed to sleep through out the whole ordeal. They got fresh prawns, vegetables, steamboat ingredients and breakfast within an hour. Mummy was so tired from carrying me and the stuffs and wanted to take a cab home but there was none in sight and we boarded the bus home instead. Luckily, an uncle gave up his seat for mummy and me. It's nice to see gracious Singaporeans and i want to be one too when i grow up.

Steamboat Dinner #1 2010

2010-02-07T00:14:00.003+08:00

Jaqueline God Ma and me!

Us here again.

Oh no, caught in the act. Playing with mummy's diaper pouch.

The ladies and the girl at Timber, East Coast Park.

Today we went to Sharon God ma and Uncle Nelson's house for steamboat dinner. The dinner was supposed to be on 30th Jan but postponed to 31 Jan but finally materialized on 6th feb. Anyway it was really great hanging out with mummy's friends and of course my favourite god-mummies. The hosts have prepared lots of food and drinks for all of us. I had some rice and udon before running off and keeping myself busy. Mummy and daddy had to keep their eyes on me most of the time even while they are eating. I would climb onto the sofa, push the stool or try to open the gate with keys that i found. I didn't eat much rice but had some milk later in the evening. After the dinner, we went to East Coast Park (Timber) as suggested by Jacqueline God ma. Luckily Timber allowed patrons like me in. I was like the youngest person there. The adults were chilling out with drinks and music from the live band. I was there napping for the first half and waking up later to immerse in the cool atmosphere. I copied the other patrons by applauding after each performance by the live band. Clearly, i was enjoying myself there.

First Trip

2010-02-07T00:08:00.002+08:00

I finally went out of Singapore last thursday. Actually it's just a very short trip to our neighbouring country Malaysia, Johor Bahru. I followed Da Yi, mummy and Caris to City Square to do some shopping. We took a bus ride from Woodlands Bus Interchange to the Malaysian customs and from the customs, we walked over to City Square. We had a late lunch at Seasons Restaurant and after that we did a very quick shopping for like an hour before proceeding back home.

My favourite comfort object

2010-01-26T19:05:00.002+08:00

Mummy was thinking hard about finding my favourite comfort object and i simply don't have any. Some kids love sucking on their own thumb or pacifier to find comfort but i don't. I don't have the habit of sucking my thumb when i was little and i grew out of my pacifier when i'm around 11 months old. Many kids love their "smelly" pillow and need to smell them to go to sleep but i don't. I'm not attach to my bean sprout pillow or bolster. I don't hug them to go to sleep. They are just lying around on the bed. I don't have any security blankets as well nor have any favourite soft toys to hug to sleep. Seriously if mummy really wants to find out my favourite object, that will probably be her breasts cos i need to nurse to go to sleep. If i'm cranky and tired, just give me a breast and i will be quiet and go to sleep within minutes.

Shopping Time

2010-01-22T19:22:00.004+08:00

My favourite pop up story book and mummy's favourite too!
My eyes always light up when the pictures popped out. Cool!

Got this yummy smoothie at Vitakids. I must say it's really good.
Around $2 per packet depending on the flavour. Simply irresistible!

My Dora camera. I like to hear the sound when i click on the button. Smile and say Cheese!

My button cookies in vanilla flavour. Nice. And more packets of 100% organic smoothie in various flavours.

The weather early this morning was superb to sleep in. Strong winds and raining heavily. However i got to wake up at 9am as i'm going to town with mummy to meet her friends at 10.30am. Today is shopping day! We reached Orchard Takashimaya at 10.45am. Most of the restaurants were not open yet. We got to shop around with Denise Yi Yi while waiting for Crystal Jade La Mian to open for business at 11.30am. At Taka, mummy bought me a Dora Camera because she knows i like taking pictures. We then had our lunch at Crystal Jade while waiting for Sally Yi Yi to come. Mummy cut up the noodles and i self fed myself. Luckily i did well and did not create a big mess for mummy. We took some photos and both Denise and Sally Yi Yi were surprised to see me posing for the camera. Denise Yi Yi left earlier and we continued shopping with Sally Yi Yi. Mummy bought me packets of organic smoothies and munchies from VitaKids. I also added another pop up book "On the forest floor" to my collection. I love shopping with mummy!

Daddy's Girl

2010-01-21T17:56:00.002+08:00

"Dad....Di", this is how i usually call my daddy. Mummy taught me to call daddy but i like to break up the words. I'm actually calling "dad..di" more than "ma ma" nowadays. Mummy must be jealous. I love to play balls but i still can't kick them. The most i will hold in my hand and throw. Whenever mummy play ball ball with me, i will shriek in delight and excitement. I think when i'm older, I'll probably be able to join daddy in his soccer game but of course i cannot play rough and the competitive type.

Morning Visit to the PD

2010-01-14T13:45:00.002+08:00

I was having fever last night again. Hovering between 38 degree celsius to 38.9 degree celsius. This morning i woke up very feverish and my temp shot to all time high of 39.1 degree celsius. Mummy quickly took a shower and bundled me to the nearest PD at Kidslink Clinic. Shortly after we registered at the counter, Shangjuan Yi Yi came in with baby Trevis to see the doctor as well. What a coincidence. My stats as of 15mths is 9.6kg and 76cm tall. Doctor said i'm having viral infection and that's what causing the fever. When we came from the clinic, i rested a while before taking my bath. Then when dressing up, mummy saw tiny rashes on my tummy and hands. She quickly called the clinic and brought me back to see the doctor again. Luckily the clinic is only a 10mins walk from home. After some examination, doctor said it's viral rashes and mummy must monitor me over the next 2-3 days.

I hate to be Sick

2010-01-08T11:17:00.003+08:00

This is the doggie toy that i played and accidentally stepped on that caused me to fall forward onto the edge of the TV console.
Look at the nasty red scar and some bruising on my forehead.

Cough Cough! Simply hate coughing cos it made me feel terrible. I have been coughing for the past 3 days and mummy brought me to see the doctor when my cough got worse. I couldn't sleep well at night cos the cough made me choked on my saliva and i woke up crying... many times every night. One of the nights i slept from 10.15pm to 12.30am, then waking up crying and fussing before succumbing to over tiredness and finally zonked out at 4am. Last night i accidentally stepped on my toy and fell against the edge of the television console. Sob sob!! It was so painful and i got a bruise on my forehead. So unlucky. I also got a fever last night and luckily mummy has medicine in the fridge. I really hate to be sick. Hope i get well very soon.

My progress at 14.5 mth

2010-01-06T13:24:00.005+08:00

I love to talk and often i talk in a fast and excited manner. Mummy and daddy simply couldn't make any sense out of my speech. I like to twist my tongue around when talking and acted as if I'm speaking in really "good English".Most of the time, mummy will play along and answer me as though she understood what I'm telling her. At grandma's place last night, i came up with a few more words, i can say "mei you le" and pig. Mummy was delighted to see my growth and progress everyday. Last night, i was flipping through my picture book and mummy asked me to show her the dog which i flipped to the page and showed her. Then she asked for pig. I did and repeated pig after mummy. When she asked for hamster, i also flipped to the correct page. Then i took my pink bag and sling it over my head. Grandma wondered why i learned from since i only know how to sling it on my arm. Daddy has been using this bag which he will sling over his head and on his shoulder. That was where i picked it from. Ha ha.. And when my favorite commercial came on, i will dance to the music and shake my bom bom.

Friends gatherings

2010-01-05T18:45:00.002+08:00

Recently, i've been doing some catching up with daddy's friends. We met Uncle Andy and Emily Yi Yi for dinner at Flamingg Mangos on New Year's Eve. I was not in a good mood that day and was quite hostile and defensive. No thanks to lack of sleep. Even i was sleep deprived, i kept wanting to get away from my baby seat and WALK. Mummy practically wolfed down the ravioli and grilled dory so that she can bring me to walk around the cafe. Emily Yi Yi was telling daddy to visit HK so that she could bring us around HK, GuangZhou and Shenzhen. She will bring us to places for cheap seafood and good shopping. Mummy's eyes immediately lit up when she heard about travelling. She's been pestering daddy to go travelling ever since daddy's work trip to japan in jun 08. She was 6-7 mths pregnant with me then and daddy didn't allow mummy to follow him. Daddy and mummy were contemplating whether to bring me along for the trip as i can be quite a handful. As Emily Yi Yi recommended at least a week long trip, they have to bring me along as daddy was sure my grandparents will not be able to handle me. *Grinning*
On sat, we went to meet Uncle Han Siong ( my self-proclaimed God father). He was back in Singapore for a 2 week holiday before jetting back to NY for his studies. He's really not good in handling babies and small children. He didn't dare to carry me (not that i am wishing to be carried). I guess i will have to meet him more to warm up to him.

All in a day

2009-12-31T11:18:00.002+08:00

Finally at home and after my bath, working on the computer like daddy. 10pm

I am Walking

2009-12-31T11:11:00.002+08:00

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

2009-12-28T22:30:00.005+08:00

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!!
