My journey

Promotion!

2006-12-10T22:25:00.000+08:00

This is my beloved didi, Jovan
See how much i love him?

Just received news that i've been promoted yesterday! But without any pay increment nor benefits. Instead i have a new playmate, & that's my little brother, Jovan.

Finally he popped! He is slightly heavier than me.. about 200g more. & this time round, labour was shorter too, mummy told me its onli 3.5hr.

I onli get to see di di today as i was staying at grandma's house yesterday. It was love at 1st sight, i will walk over to didi, sayang him, carry him & "muak muak" him. Well, actually he seems more like a doll to me than anything else. Keke...

Cousin Wen Hui is a mth old

2006-12-08T22:10:00.000+08:00

Yup, time flies, my little cousin, Wen Hui is a mth old today.

Big Ah-Yi is inviting us to Jumbo seafood to celebrate the event. This place is a East Coast Seafood Centre. Hehe, we were the 1st to reach, KS rite? But never mind, i get to walk aroud the place, then i get to aeroplanes, ships as well as enjoy the sea breeze...

I am really in a super-duper mood coz i get to "auto-roam" --> meaning without the adults holding my hands.

A new additional to ah-yi's family

2006-11-10T21:20:00.000+08:00

Yup, little cousin, Wen Hui popped yesterday. Welcome to this world.. :)

So now my beloved Kor Kor, Wen Jie got a little brother. We went to NUH to visit ah-yi & him. He is so cute.. got rosy cheeks. hehe

Mummy got to carry him, & this time round, i didn't show signs of jealousy. Instead, i sayang didi & wanted to carry him oso. :)

Oh ya, no photos of didi, coz my sotong mummy, forgot to take photos of him. But i managed to have some photos taken with kor kor while waiting to go into the ward.

Off to Vivo City

2006-11-05T21:03:00.000+08:00

Where is the most "in" place to go in Singapore now? Its gonna be Vivo City, i guess.
Why? Simply because its the latest & the biggest shopping mall in Singapore now.

To join in the crowd, mummy suggest going there for breakfast. But after walking for many rounds around the mall, still can't find anything nice to eat. End up we have this kaya toast at Coffee & Toast. Er.. the food there is yurks! No wonder there wasn't much people there.

There is this big playground for kids to play. I didn't really get to play there, er...i prefer to take a scroll around the playground instead.

Oh, daddy & mummy bought a lot of things for me ley. heard there's present for me.. but got to wait until didi arrive, then i can get to play with them. So didi, when are you coming out?

Mummy, daddy, where are you? (Actually, mummy is just beside me :p)

I'm 16 mths today..

2006-10-28T20:44:00.000+08:00

Yup, i'm 16 mths today. A cake to celebrate the day, just for fun lah.

Getting all dressed up to attend daddy's cousin's wedding lunch.

Wah, i'm officially 16 mths today, can heard daddy & mummy saying how much 've grown from a tiny baby to a toddler now. & mummy kinda of miss the time when i was a small baby, the coo coo & the ga ga.

Had a cake today to celebrate my 16 mths, well, actually, its mummy who wants to eat the cake, so use the excuse that i am 16 mths to get the cake. But it's ok, since i get to eat the cake too. :p

Daddy's cousin is having her wedding lunch at The Regent today, so we are all dressed up for the event. But this time round, i wasn't that co-operative as that time when i attended mumm'ys friend's wedding dinner.

Can't blame me, coz i am sick, & i had to miss my afternoon nap, + the lunch is taking too long, stayed there for 3hrs, with onli 3 dishes being served. Gosh.. no food, no nap makes a toddler angry. After trying to tahan for 3 hrs+, i couldn't stand it anymore, & i started to be cranky. Mummy on seeing that, feel malu, of course, whatmore we are seated next to the stage. So she told daddy we better go off liao.

Lagi lah, pay so much ang pow, yet didn't get to enjoy the lunch. After that, we went to Tanglin Mall foodcourt for some western food, wah, i guess i still prefer a relaxing atmosphere to have my meals. In fact, i was enjoying my food that i've forgotten that i'm actually sleepy.

Selamat Hari Raya

2006-10-24T21:17:00.000+08:00

Its Hari Raya today, mummy says its our muslim friend's so-called new year. Early in the morning, my little friend cum neighbour's parent brought some food over. Er, there's chicken curry, some vege & cookies. I onli get to eat the cookies lah.

After that, daddy & mummy brought me over to their house to give Ang Pow to my little friend. Actually should be Green Pow but we don't have that at home, so make do with Ang pow lor. To me hor, it doesnt matter what colour pow lah, what matters is the content inside. Wah ha ha, i very practical right?

Later in the morning, auntie Hui Kian & uncle Dong Dong came over to our house. Mummy said she passing to baby Li Jun some of the clothes i've overgrown, since i am having a di di, not mei mei. Those clothings too girlish for him liao.

Auntie Hui Kian actually brought her camera along & snap quite a few photos of me.. i oso co-operate with her lah, let her take some photos of me.

An eventful weekend

2006-10-08T20:27:00.000+08:00

It was an eventful weekend.

1stly, i am due for my MMR jab on Sat. The appointment was supposed to be at 9.30am, but my blur sotong mummy remembered it wrongly & thought it was 10am. Pengz.. so ended up, we waited for like 30mins to 45mins for me turn.

Next, the nurse got to take my weight & height. The moment mummy put me on the weighing scale, i was crying like mad. I guess everyone sitting outside must be thinking that the jab had been administered. (er.. actually not yet), i am just trying to practise my crying skill..

Guess how heavy i am now? I am already 10.8kg, with a height of 77.5cm. No wonder daddy & mummy is always complaining that they no energy to carry me anymore. Another thing, the nurse said i got BIG head. But its ok, since i always have this big head since the day i popped. Daddy cracked a joke that big head = smarter baby? Er.. that i can only confirm when i grow older lah.

After the jab, the nurse said that fever can occurred anytime between the 2nd day to the 10th day, so its home quarantine for the time being.

Sun.. the day i fell from the bed.

I was happily taking my afternoon nap on the bed while daddy & mummy were busy packing my room. Then suddenly, mummy heard a loud cry. & when she rushed to the room, i already landed on the floor, crying non-stop. Ouch, mummy feels the pain..

Without waiting, dearest daddy immediately proceed to check if i've any fractured hands or legs.. while mummy's main concern is whether i knocked myself silly. It seems like everything is fine, except for the bruise & the scared i had.

See, what an eventful weekend i had, the 1st time i cried badly for a jab & the 1st fall i had.

Diaper baby.

Being cheeky

2006-10-05T17:10:00.000+08:00

Happy Childrens' Day

2006-10-01T22:09:00.000+08:00

Today is Childrens' Day. There is no fanciful present or celebration for me since daddy & mummy "$ not enulf". Nonetheless, they still brought me to the zoo for an outing, & to visit my little friends from the zoo..

The weather is very very good, no rain, no sun, but there is haze instead. Well, not so good for the haze part, but at least it wasn't too warm a day.

Back to the zoo to visit my little friends...
Is this fate? This is the 2nd time i bump into Rae jie jie in the zoo.

Mooncake shoppping

2006-09-30T21:50:00.000+08:00

Went Taka early in the morning to avoid the crowd which mummy forseen will be pouring in from noon onwards as this is the last wkends b4 mooncake festival.

Daddy bought some lotus paste mooncake & a red bean paste one especially for small ah-yi. We are going to grandma's house to celebrate mooncake festival. Actually, i've alreadie tasted quite a few snowskin mooncake b4 the festival, taste yummy. So i am indeed looking forward to the coming friday where i can taste more yummy mooncakes & take the lantern.

my pony tail

2006-09-28T21:32:00.000+08:00

Wonder why i have a pony tail when i am not a pony. Its kinda of weird, isnt it? But i am not a least bothered by it as long as it can ease the warm warm weather, which makes me a stinko pig with my endless perspiration. So, as compared to being a pig, i'd rather be a pony. :p

Flying kisses to all who have been reading my blog.

Big ah-yi's dress

2006-09-22T20:55:00.000+08:00

Yo yo, come take a look at my dress.

Yap, this dress is about 29 year old & guess who it belongs to? Well, it actually belongs to a 4 people, the 1st owner being big ah-yi, then to mummy, to small ah-yi & finally to me. :) So strictly speaking, i am the 4th generation wearing that now.

This dress is being crochet by grandma & she says the 1st dress she made (i supposed the last dress also..). Wah, she was really really proud when she saw me wearing the dress that day.

Its Vitagen time

2006-09-18T22:02:00.000+08:00

A for apple...... V is for Vitagen!

Yup, its a something new i learn today, never mind about what is between A to V, for me, food always come 1st.

This is the 1st time i tasted vitagen, & the taste is simply.. DELICIOUS & YUMMY. I was holding the bottle myself & never stop sucking until mummy got to remind me that i need to take a pause.

Later in the afternoon, we went Causeway Point (oh yes, again, this is the shopping centre that we frequent more often). This time round, to meet mummy's new friend as well as a new friend for me. Her name is Valerie, hmm, exactly 6mths my senior. We had a fun time together.

Oh, no photos of us cause mummy is too busy chatting that she forgot that she actually did bring the camera out.

Just some updates..

2006-09-17T20:49:00.000+08:00

Been sometime since i update the blog. Reason being, I am very busy. Haha, busy with what? Hmm, with playing, sleeping, walking around the whole house, etc etc.

Not onli i am busy, so is daddy & mummy. That's because, i give them work to do lah, else they too free mah. So i engaged daddy to be my walking partner & mummy to be my playmate. That's the arrangement for the time being, until i have new interest. Hehe..

As for my progress, now i can definitely walk more steady as compared to the week before, nonetheless i still don't have much confident & most of the time, i still prefer someone to hold my little hands for that extra security.

Not to forget, i can actually say quite a few words, there's pa, ma, jojo (name of my toy bear), yao (want in chinese), bear, bye... can't really recall what i can say liao.

Feeding my Jo Jo with tomatoes...
Daddy, u mean there's a call for me?

Different images of me

2006-09-04T16:41:00.000+08:00

Its a warm warm Monday afternoon, as usual, my boh liao mummy got nothing much to do, but to entertain me. In the mist of entertaining me, she also never give up the thought of entertaining herself at the same time, busy snapping photos of me.

Some updates of what i did over the weekends. Sat.. we went Takashimaya. Mummy wanted to try making chawanmushi. But then she needed the chawanmushi cup thus the need to go shopping. As for me, i love shopping, free air-con mah. haha..

Then on sun, we went to Comex. Wah, no joke, that place is crowded! This is the 1st time in my life that i see so many moving objects.. humans i mean. Got a bit scared at 1st, but slowly i warm up liao. I even go to the extent of trying to get attention of people by touching them. :p

Mummy, are you taking my photos again?
A balloon.. what can i do with it?

Mummy, someday, i am going to charge you a fee for snapping my photos.

TGIF!

2006-09-01T09:53:00.000+08:00

Friday is finally here.. i simply love the thought of wkends coming. Not that i need to work lah, but hor, at least during the wkends, i've got a "walking mate" on top of a playmate. This walking mate is none others but my daddy dearest. Ay, i am not bullying him hor, i am in fact giving him a chance to exercise. And its actually his honour to hold my soft, gentle tiny hands & roam around the whole house.

I guess the happiest person when it comes to wkends is mummy lah. She is horrible ley, she still suffers from monday blues (just cross my mind why is it monday = blue & not other colours?) even though she aren't working anymore. Funny rite?

For me, i love wkends coz i get to go out to somewhere further besides the usual causeway point. You see, i am afterall a girl mah, so of coz i inherit the genes of being a shopping queen. :p

Flashcards

2006-08-28T21:34:00.000+08:00

Flashcards.. its not something unfamiliar to me. When i was much younger, i think abt 6 mths old, there is a period where mummy flashed the english & math cards to me. But very soon, the "interest" in her flashing the cards to me die off.

& now, she finally found the interest & determination to re-flash those cards to me. & this time, with 2 more types of cards, Chinese & picture cards. These 2 types of cards were made by daddy & mummy.

Though its been sometime since i've seen the cards, nonetheless i am proud to say i am still very excited to see them. Hmm, they are like my long-lost friends. Haha. So now, it has became a rountine that mummy will flashed the cards to me in the morning & afternoon while daddy will do his flashing at night before i go to bed.

As mentioned in the early post, mummy will tend to snap lots of photos of me when she is bored. Thus, evidence she is bored again! As for me, i glady obliged to her request & act cute in front of the camera.

Vytoz full month

2006-08-26T22:54:00.000+08:00

Yes, little Vytoz di di is full month today. & coincidently, he pop on 26/7 which is actually my estimated due date (well, i decide to come out 1 mth earlier though)

See the serious look on my face?
Oh, got camera ah? ok ok, i smile a bit hor.

I get to carry the little di di, its actually quite scary ley, coz he is so fragile. But the aunties say must practice lah, so that i know how to carry my di di next time. :)

more photos

2006-08-25T16:54:00.000+08:00

What happens when mummy is bored with nothing to do at home? I become the super model of mummy. Haha! Of coz, it really depends on my mood whether the pictures turn out nice a not. Sometimes i do get extremely cranky & put on a "black" face if i am not in the mood.

Seems like i am in a good mood today ya?

My new profession!

2006-08-24T16:31:00.000+08:00

Hmm.. What's cooking today? Mee Goreng, anyone?

Er.. Let me try 1st ah....

Hmm.. ok. Taste yummy!

Ok, official opening of Xuan Xuan Zi-Cha stall!

Rountine

2006-08-23T14:49:00.000+08:00

Since mummy becomes a SAHM, she started a rountine for me. Her intention hor is to let me know what to expect daily & also, i think her main motive is that i will be more discipline lah. (fat hope lah, mummy!)

So this is my rountine for weekdays:

9.00am Wake up

9.30am Breakfast time

10.ooam Bath time

11.00am Nap time cum milk time (if i eat very little during breakfast)

2.00pm Wake up & milk time

6.30pm Dinner time

9.00pm Bedtime

In between the time slots, i get to watch some educational programs, fun time & arts time lah. But.. i heard mummy got the intention of adjusting my rountine soon coz she feels that i am not learning much. Stress ah!

As for weekends, mummy have no intention to set up any rountine as its weekends mah, relaxation time!

Oh ya, 4get to add.. recently mummy started to give me a bath b4 i goes to sleep at night too as the weather is getting warmer & warmer & she commented that every morning i wake up, i smell like a stinko pig! (actually all along i love the water, she is the one who is lazi to bath for me. In fact, now daddy is the one bathing for me at nite oso, not her. haha)

Also, she read from somewhere, says reading bedtime story to babies is gd wor, can help babies developed the habit of reading. So, she oso copy lah, read me story b4 i go to bed.

Throwing tantrum

2006-08-17T23:01:00.000+08:00

Today was a shopping spree, with the intention of getting some essential stuff for di di. Reason being most of my clothes, etc are girlish stuff & some of the unisex clothing actually have some yellow stains on them, which cannot be washed off despite mummy trying for 2x.

We 1st went to Marine Square, Suntec, then to Bugis junction. Oh, the 2 big shopping bags was packed with items for di di. OMG! Nothing for me.. argghhhh..

On our way home, on the MRT, i suddenly started throwing tantrum, which according to mummy is undesirable & she don't know why i am making such a big fuss either. But this time round, i am really long-winded, if i recalled correctly, i cried all the way from Toa Payoh to Yio Chu Kang.. 4 mrt stations' journey.

Can see mummy is being rather mad at me, hehe, but somehow, i just refused to keep quiet, probably cause mummy just don't get what i want. Anyway, on seeing daddy prepare my milk, ok lor, for the sake of milk, i'll just co-operate with them for the time being.

Recently, mummy noticed that i like to throw tantrum, like i will cry for no reason, when i want something, i mean i want that thing & nothing else. Then also, i developed the funny habit of wanting mummy ONLY to put me to my baby cot at night. Worse of all, don't know since when, i will not allow daddy to carry me at times. I will simply cry & act blur when mummy asked if its ok that daddy carry me.

Actually, they are both very scare that its the beginning of the "terrible twos". As for me, i am as happy as i am, & i just want to enjoy my childhood, free from worries.. so please, spare me.. :p

Lastly, daddy & mummy have alreadie picked an English name for di di. He will be called Jovan Tan. Jovan means "gifted". Hoho, didi, daddy & mummy seems to have high expectations of you.. gd luck!

Baking cookies

2006-08-16T21:33:00.000+08:00

Mummy, is the cookies ready?
Look! Aren't the cookies nice? hoho...

Mummy is in a gd mood today, thus the decision to bake cookies.. butter cookies with dinsey character faces.

My 1st kitchen set

2006-08-15T22:09:00.000+08:00

Daddy, where are u?

Who's that under the blanklet?

I know.. its daddy! Daddy is playing Peek-a-boo with me!

Daddy is at home today.. which means he get to catch some sleep which he usually don't if he is working. I very kwai one, i accompany daddy & we both sleep long long, wake up only at 9.30pm when mummy finished preparing breakfast for us. Mummy says daddy & me hor, like a pair of pigs ley!

Then in the evening, after dinner, we went to Causeway Point to shop shop. Hoho, mummy noticed i love to play "masak masak", so she got hunt for a kitchen play set for me. Then she spotted this rather comprehensive set which cost $89.90. To my surprise, mummy really bought it ley. Me machiam like strike lottery, coz i think this is one of the most expensive toy daddy & mummy gotten for me.

Thank you daddy & mummy..

Mei Mei or Di Di??

2006-08-14T22:04:00.000+08:00

Make a guess, is mummy expecting a di di or mei mei?

Can't guess? hoho, i am have a di di. Yippy! Why am i so happi? Coz tt means i will be the onli little princess of mummy & the onli daddy's girl in the family. Best part is, i don't need to share my toys or clothes with di di (Unless di di don't mind being a .....) Good rite?

But can see daddy & mummy got headache liao, coz that will means having to save $ & more $, since now they not onli have to get toys for me, but male toys for di di oso. :p

National Day

2006-08-09T22:54:00.000+08:00

Its National Day today. Early in the morning, daddy & mummy decide to go for special breakfast, & the venue is Cafe Cartel at City Hall. Reason for picking the place is because their set breakfast is value for $ & there is free flow of bread as well as coffee/tea.

Reached there abt 10am, & to our surprise, big ah yi & family already there. Hoho, never expect to see them there, wat a coincidence :) But a pleasant one too, coz big ah yi gave daddy & mummy a treat, which means FOC breakfast for them.

In the afternoon, we went to TMC (Thomson Medical Centre) to visit mummy's ex-colleage, Ah bo auntie who just gave birth to a baby girl, a national day baby. By the way, her name is Dong Li Jun. I didn't quite like the idea of mummy carrying her, so i keep "walking" over & disturb mummy, hoping mummy will give up the idea of touching other babies! "mummy, can't u see i am jealous?" is the message i am trying to tell her.

I guess at the moment, i simply don't like younger babies, at least till now i still don't have any affection for them.

Zen's & Patrick's birthday party

2006-08-05T22:00:00.000+08:00

Yippy, another birthday party to attend. This time round, its actually a combined celebration. Zen gor gor is celebrating 4 year old & Patrick di di is turning 1 yr old.

Celebration is at woodsvale condo, somehow, this has become one of the favorite venue for celebration. Why? Cause its at woodlands (near to most of our house) & also its a nice nice place. Best part is booking of the room is only $10. Cheap right?

Opps, 4got to mention, the theme of this party is "super hero", all the little kids are encourage to dress as super hero. But due to my size, mummy couldn't find any related theme clothings for me, thus i onli wore a Minnie Mouse shirt. Well, better than nothing lah. hehe

Hmm, let me wish Zen gor gor & Patrick di di a happy happy birthday. May they grow to be strong, healthy, happy & handsome.

Zoo trip

2006-07-30T19:45:00.000+08:00

Patrick, Me & Ashley jie jie playing at the "balls" pool.

This is the giraffe which i get to ride one. Hoho, animal cruelty?

Happened to meet Rae-Ann jie jie at the zoo.

This is the 2nd time i am going to the zoo. Good news is that daddy has sign up for "friends of the zoo" which means to make the membership worth, we have to go to the zoo at least 5x per yr. (Not i say one hor, its daddy & mummy says one..)

At the entrance, we saw this funni looking animals, which actually moves around & then hor, we can actually sit on them ley. Sounds like animal cruelty hor? Later then i realise they are actually kiddy rides lah, not real animals. Whew!

It cost $2 for a 10min ride, quite value for $, thus mummy says she sponser lah, let me take a ride on it. As me, being so little, daddy got to ride to me. Haha, so its not onli fun for me, its fun for daddy too..

Initially i thought can go to the kids playground to play, but then.. haiz, sky dun co-operate with me ley. Its raining cats & dogs that we got to seek shelter. Not too bad also lah, at least i got to eat my favorite whipped potato from KFC!

Boh liao mummy

2006-07-23T21:34:00.000+08:00

Mummy hor, must be too free liao lah, she siow siow took, quite a few photos of me.

2006-07-16T21:12:00.000+08:00

Its fun at Orchid Country Club today!

Wah! Help Help, Parick & myself are drowned by the balls!

Imagine this kiddy ride can sit 4 people & the best part is its onli $0.40 per ride. Where to find such good deals nowadays? Btw, see the handsome guy beside me? That's Cayden! Kawaii rite?

Peekaboo! Ay, how come no body one?

What a big area for me to roam about! & guess wat? its baby friendly!

Wedding dinner at Hotel Otani

2006-07-14T23:27:00.000+08:00

This gonna be the 1st wedding dinner i attend. Its mummy's poly classmate's big day today. They finally decide to tie the knot after a long run of 10 yrs!

Our family Theme.. the red colour family. :p At 1st, daddy & mummy are really scared that i will misbehave during the long dinner. But, guess what? As long as there is food, i am the usual happy little girl.

Another surprise, i actually "act cute" to catch the attention of the camera man that day. & i succeeded, uncle camera man really took a few shots of me. Aren't i adorable :p

A visit to the farms..

2006-07-09T22:19:00.000+08:00

That's Ernest & me, envying the adults drinking goat milk.

A very old goat trying to say Hello to us

Lastly, the frog farm.

What's the agenda for today? Its going to be goat farm, frog farm & vege farm. Hmm, wonder since when are the adults interested in farm visits. hoho!

1stly, its was the goat farm. We can actually feed the goats with the grass, but don't know why, i am really scare of the goats. Haiz, very lousy rite? hehe. After the tour around, daddy bought goat milk to drink, he was enjoying the milk while mummy gave that "sour" face. Hehe, she says it must be smelly. As for me, i didnt get to try the goat milk as mummy insist that i am too young drink the milk.

After that goat farm, we went to this Bollywood vege farm for lunch & also to tour around the vege farm. Quite interested to see the different types of veges & how they grow.

Next, its the frog farm. Actually hor, mummy is very very scare of the bullfrogs. She bought 3 sets of "tian ji" to cook porridge for me. :)

Bye Bye HFMD, Bye bye school!

2006-07-03T22:05:00.000+08:00

Its been a week since i contacted HFMD. Now i am fit & well again. Hmm, Thk god that i didnt have uclers in my mouth & thus, mummy concluded that probably mine is just a mild mild one.

From today onwards, mummy will be a SAHM. Hehe, i could sense that she is actually having some fears about being one, probably coz its been a long long time since she took care of me for a whole day. Dun worri mummy, i promise i'll be a gd gd girl. :)

Here's some photos taken with the teachers from my school. At this moment, am not sure if i'll gonna miss them, but mummy reckon that more or less will definitely miss them.

HFMD

2006-06-24T21:59:00.000+08:00

2 days ago, i am down with a cough, then the next day, i am running a fever at night. The next morning, while at the coffeeshop at my school, mummy noticed some little rashes on my legs & hands. She suspected that it could be measles or chicken pox.

To play safe, daddy & mummy brought me to the PD for a check. Guess wat? I am down with HFMD. OMG! Mummy is super scare that i will be very crackly for the next few days while me, on the other hand, is really happi coz i am exempted from school for the whole week. Wah haha.

Well, mummy doesn't have any more leave to spare as this is the last week of her work, so she could only afford to take 2 days leave while daddy shall be a SAHD (stay at home dad) to take care of me for the next 3 days.

1st birthday celebration!

2006-06-17T23:45:00.000+08:00

I'm turning 1 soon, lets me see, in abt 1wk+ time. This pantang mummy read from somewhere says that should celebrate 1st birthday before the chinese birthday. So guess wat? they decide to celebrate today.

Actually KS mummy has started preparing for this big day a few months back. She ordered the cake abt 1 month ago, then search for the decos & door gifts for my little friends. So, what's in the goody bag for my little friends? There's a story book, jelly, marshmallow, biscuits, raisin, stickers & party hat. Sounds good rite?

As for my birthday cake, its Pink in colour, coz pink is for little girls & blue is for little boys. haha.. another old theory again.

For the venue, mummy seek aunty Dolly's help to book the social lounge at Woodsvale condo. The party started abt 6pm with guests slowly flowing in.

The food was yummy, i took a few mouth of the fried rice & tau suan. Cake was yummy too, as feedback from the guest. & guess what, i've receive lots of presents.

Thanks again to all those who attended my party & make it a success..

Mummy going to be a SAHM!

2006-06-02T13:28:00.000+08:00

Yes, mummy just tendered today. Why the sudden decision to resign? Mummy claims that she is really tired having to work & she is having lots of stress at work too. Another major reason is becoz i tend to fall sick real often at sch. Its like almost every 2 wks, i will be either coughing or having a flu & mummy is heartache to see me suffer like that.

Mummy's last day at work will be 30th Jun. After which, she hopes to be a SAHM till my little didi or meimei is at least 18mths old.

I can see mummy is praying real hard that i will behave myself & not behave like a monkey when she takes over the role of being my caregiver. hehee..

A sibling for me?

2006-04-30T21:31:00.000+08:00

Hoho, guess what? i will be having a sibling soon & i can sense a threat coming.. oh no!

This little sibling of mine will be like 18mths younger than me. The estimated due date will be somewhere 2nd Jan 2007. Daddy was hoping that my sibling will be the 1st bb to pop in yr 2007, then can get all the ang paus, etc for being the 1st bb of 2007! Daddy oh daddy, if you want ur wish to come true, then you must start talking & to psycho the little sibling in mummy's tummy liao. haha.. & if the little sibling really is the 1st to pop in 2007, remember to use the ang pau & buy a present for me, ok? :p

Jumperoo!

2006-04-01T21:25:00.000+08:00

Remember the exersaucer mummy rent for me the other time? After returning that, mummy decided she shall rent another big bulky toy for me since i am toy deprive. Haha..

This time round, its a jumperoo.. ok, what's a jumperoo. It actually a very simple toy lor. U sit in it & jump jump jump. When u jump, there is some music too. Ok, well, i should say this toy is quite meaningless lor, i mean not much purpose except to encourage babies to jumo & move their legs.

At nite, we attended JJ's 2nd birthday party. Hmm, mummy dress me up like a tomboy today, she let me wear a polo T & cargo pants (both bought from genting).

ABC's birthday

2006-03-19T23:48:00.000+08:00

This are my little friends from mummy's forum. From left to right:Patrick didi, Zen gege, Roy gege, Auntie Jasmine with Ernest gege & me! Haha, noticed i am the Rose amongst the thorns? :p

Its ABC's birthday celebration today. What does ABC's stands for? Arielene Belle Chu.. such a long name, wonder why her mummy (a teacher) would give her daughter such a long long name. Take test of examinations, write her full name, alreadie slower by a few minutes liao. Haha!

Anyway, this party aren't as fun as my pal's Ernest party, where it is really grand. For ABC's party, mummy & other guests were practically standing at the corridor coz the house is too small to house everyone. I mean, er, not too nice to let ur guest stand, isnt it?

Never mind abt the standing lah, take it as exercise. Nonetheless, the food aren't fantastic too (according to the adults lah). So i guess most of the guest didn't quite enjoy the party.

After the party, we went to auntie Lynn's house. Wah, her house is fantastic, very very nice. Rae jie jie has a lot of toys, books as well as beautifully decorated wall with posters & flashcards. Very very impressive.. *hint hint to daddy*

Little friends from infant care

2006-03-14T20:34:00.000+08:00

This is Shi Qi Jie Jie, the oldest among the infants.

This di di is a new student, don't remember his name. Hehe

This is Na Na mei mei. She is great, can crawl, & sit up by herself when she was only 5 mths old.

Finally, me & Ryan ge ge, hmm, the teachers always say we are very matching. Are we?

Today daddy & mummy are on leave, they go pak toh. Haiz so i am being send to my infant care again.

But they not bad lah, they came to bring me home earlier than usual & took some photos of my little friends from the infant care.

Exersaucer

2006-03-12T19:58:00.000+08:00

This alien has been at my house since end Jan. Well, not quite an alien, i guess its more like a white elephant. Reason for it being a white elephant is coz mummy rented it, & yet i refused to play in it.

Mummy kept nagging at me for wasting her money & even threaten to stop buying new clothes for me since i waste her $30! So unfair! But well, to satisfy & stop the adults from nagging, i decided to give it a try, give mummy face by sitting in it. Wah lah, its actually quite fun ley! Never realise that its quite entertaining esp when the adults are bizzi. Hehehe..

Sad news is, the rental period is over so mummy is just waiting for them to call her up regarding the collection of the toys. So mummy, what's next?

Ernest's birthday party

2006-03-11T22:12:00.000+08:00

See the big big inflatable playground? Impressive, rite?

The 3 of us is knows as Chickendees Club. Haha, simply becoz we are born in the year of Rooaster. There's Ernest kor kor, myself & Patrick di di

This is going to be the 1st birthday party i gonna attend, & yes, its Ernest's 1st birthday. Its held at fort canning, The Legends.

Wah, when we entered the ballroom, the 1st thing i spot was the inflatable play area for us. Its so big & fun. Then there's a rocking horse, which i managed to rock myself in.

Uncle Eric & Auntie Dolly was dressed very very nicely. Mummy commented that Auntie Dolly really looks like a Tai Tai, very elegant. While Uncle Eric looks stunning in his shirt. Of coz, not to mention, my "boyfriend" - Ernest -> then main cast of the day, look terrific in his polo-T.

It was a really fun day. Wished my birthday party will be that fun too..

More photos

2006-03-04T21:25:00.000+08:00

I am really lazi to update my blog, so here's some photos for some entertainment for the time being. hehehe, anyway, photos speaks louder than words!

Look Mummy, i can stand! wah ha ha, don't you dare call me lazi bones again!

See i pretty a not? We are going for my weekly class at GJG, lots of handsome guys there, must make sure i look good.

Aiyoh, i thought i just saw some biscuits inside? How come dig & dig but nothing comes out?

Today, mummy says i've got an important task! To help her with shopping. Goodness, really stress...

Mummy says she've spend too much on buying stuff for me, so i've got to earn some $ on my own. "Baby wipes, 3 for $10, anyone?"

We are going to the zoo zoo zoo..

2006-02-19T20:08:00.000+08:00

Initially, mummy wants to dress me like this, so that i wont feel warm, but look i looks very funni in this outfit rite? haiz..

Ok, this is my 1st outing to the zoo, which i understand from mummy. This outing is with mummy's forum friends & of coz, many of my little friends too. Uncle Calvin is nice enough to gave us a ride there.

Wah, there are indeed lots of animals, lions, horse, etc etc. We didnt managed to walk around the whole zoo as it was quite big. Overall, it was pretty fun & relaxing (of coz not for those poor adults who have to do the walking). Roared! After-effect of seeing the lions.. wah ha ha!

Helping daddy

2006-02-13T16:44:00.000+08:00

Wah, today daddy & mummy decided to finished painting as well as decorating my room with wallpapers. Tell u all a secret hor, this daddy & mummy hor, really lazy one ley. They leave the 2nd coat of paint unpainted for almost a year+, till now, then decide to complete it ley.

Mummy says since its my room, i should play my part of helping out lah. (But i think its coz she super duper lazy to paint). So she held my hands & let me do some painting myself. Its quite fun lor.

Ok, finally the room is complete, very sweet one ley. Pink colour with those animals wallpaper..but... aiyoh, Pls lah, daddy & mummy, can don't treat my room as store room a not? so ugly.. & messy too!

Trial at Baby Jumper Gym

2006-02-12T22:27:00.000+08:00

I have my free trial at Baby Jumper Gym today with little Patrick. Well the gym aren't very big... it have a seperate room for the gym session where they have monkey bars, etc. Then there is another room for quiet learning, like flashcards... etc.

the lesson was quite fun. i keep smiling & babbling throughout. haha....

after that, we went to CWP as usual. this time daddy & mummy intend to buy a printer with scanning function coz mummy wants to make picture flashcard for me.

A silbing?

2006-02-08T13:00:00.000+08:00

Mummy has been thinking very hard over whether to give me a sibling over the past few months.

Reasons for not having a #2:
1) Financial prob
2) Don't know whether have time for 2 kids
3) Mummy is scare whether pregnancy will be as easy as it was when having me.

Reasons for having a #2:
1) to give me a playmate
2) more children means the family will more "re nao"
3) mummy miss the feeling of being preggie (becoz she loves the experience when she is preggie with me)

Daddy agrees to try for a #2 but then he also told me that we have to be really careful with our spending coz having a #2 means expenses will go up.

Somehow, though mummy always wanted to have 2 kids... she still have some reservations whether to really try for a #2 for the above reasons, but somehow, mummy knows she'll definitely regret in future if she onli have 1 kid.

Daddy, pls help mummy.....

Homecooked porridge

2006-02-07T21:54:00.000+08:00

Teachers introduce me to the porridge at infant care the other day. I don't like the porridge, in fact, i don't like porridge. Last time mummy cooked for me, i also dun eat much. I still prefer my yummy cereal.. no nid to bite one, just swallow.

So what mummy decide to do it that she will cook porridge for me to bring to school everyday. Auntie Lynn (potato's mummy) taught mummy that she can actually grind the rice into powder before cooking so that the porridge will have a texture like cereal. Mummy tried once on last sun, & it works. I got eat a few mouth.

Mummy woke up like 5.20am for the past few days just to prepare the porridge for me. (opps, i heard her complaining she feels very hectic & tired). Food that mummy have introduce me the following food so far : sweet potato, carrots, papaya, cod fish, green peas, ikan billis powder. My favourite is still sweet potato.. reason? Becoz its sweet!

Then i also love those baby biscuit.. real yummy.

Mummy's back to work!

2006-02-06T19:04:00.000+08:00

Mummy will return to work today after about a month of MC & a wk of leave. Arghh, i simply hate the idea of having to leave mummy.

As usual, she is the one who send me to school. I know she is going to leave me there again, & decide that i will just cling myself to her like a koala clinging on to a tree. That way, mummy won't be able to leave me.

but.. i failed. Mummy still managed to pass me over to the teachers. I tried to use my crying tactic again to soften mummy's heart. But this time, she never give in. I feel so sad ley... sob sob.

When mummy came to fetch me back, i cried immediately upon hearing her voice & seeing her. I just want mummy to cuddle me & not leave me there again. Mummy keep saying i'm a silly girl coz she'll never abandon me as i'm her little precious. I guess i'll just have to try adjusting myself to adapt again.

Princess? Queen or king?

2006-02-04T21:38:00.000+08:00

Hmm.. a lot of people commented i look like a princess in this dress.... do i? I guess not, since mummy always say i'm the QUEEN.... coz daddy & mummy so scare of my crying, that i usually get away with what i want. Oh... i remember mummy said something like promoting me to KING.

2nd day of CNY

2006-01-30T23:39:00.000+08:00

Plans for today, go grandma's house to pai nian.

I love going to grandma's house. Everytime i go there, a lot of people will carry me one. But i love Ah Gor the most. He sayang me lots... always sing to me & tok to me. I like!

Anyway, today there are lots of visitors at grandma's house too. They are mummy's aunties & cousins. I shy shy, i don't want anyone to touch me. Hehehe..

In the evening, Ah Gor finally arrive liao. Ho ho ho.. yippy.. i've got company liao. Then after dinner, mummy started to play block block with grandpa & ah Yis.... mummy says its not block block.. its call mahjong! Anyway, mummy no luck lah.. played 8 rounds, onli win 1 round.

While grandpa keeping winning. Daddy got better luck, he play 4 times, win 3 times. But then the winnings so little, not even enulf to pay our cab fare.. hehehe...

1st day of CNY

2006-01-29T22:29:00.000+08:00

Wow... i woke up this morning with mummy greeting me a "Happy new year". She says its a new yr now & i am a big girl alreadie. Somehow i feel its untrue, coz i look here look there, i still find myself small compared to her & daddy. Anyway, never mind lah, at least its something different from the usual "Gd morning" i get from her everyday.

OK.. plans for today. Er... i thought mummy says want to stay at home. Who knows this frickle-minded mummy decided to go daddy's side for dinner. Why ley? Coz she lazi to cook dinner lah! Like tt also can ah?

So off we went to daddy's side. Hmm... after dinner, a lot of people start flooding grandmother's house. I was told they are daddy's uncle, aunties & cousins. Then some of them started giving me those red red thing i saw mummy putting under my comforter yesterday night.

Mummy says its "Ang pow"... inside got money one. Hehe... money? hmmm.. tt means i can buy lots of nice clothings, toys... & FOOD liao!

Reunion lunch & dinner

2006-01-28T22:14:00.000+08:00

Its my 1st CNY, & obviously my 1st reunion meal. As daddy & mummy needs to go back to daddy's side for reunion dinner today, we have a reunion lunch with grandpa, grandma, Ah Yis & my favourite Ah Gor instead.

Reunion meals with grandma is usually at either restaurant or kopi shop as grandma lazi to cook lah! She says too many things to prepare & cook if we want to have reunion meals at home. Hahha.. never mind lah, anyway i love going out for meals.. coz got free aircon & best of all, i get to go walk walk.

This time round, we have our meals at Pearl River Palace (suntec convention centre). Food was gd, that's the feedback from mummy. Anyway, i didn't get to eat anything.. haiz.. its more like a "See onli, cannot eat" session for me lor!

So i very boh song about it that i refuse to sit on the baby chair nor my pram & insisted mummy carry me. Haha.. who ask her, so bad, don't let me eat. Last time i no teeth, she say i don't know how to chew, now i got 2 teeth, now her excuse change to baby cannot eat this & that! Wah paing.. then when can i eat har?

After the lunch, we went shopping for a while. Most of the shops are close early as its CNY eve & everyone wants to have their reunion dinner. Then we proceeded to daddy's side.

Daddy's side reunion dinner is somewhat a bit funni lah. Unlike the other families, daddy & mummy get to eat dinner 1st instead of everyone eating together. Funni rite? Then what is the purpose of reunion dinner if everyone eat at their own timing? (scratch head!)

Lastly, before i sleep, i saw mummy slipping 2 red thing under my comforter. Wonder what is that? Hmm.. maybe mummy feel gulity as she deprived me from eating those yummy food this afternoon so now she is giving me something in compensation.

Alrite, gonna zzzz... Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone!

Due for surgery.....

2006-01-25T20:14:00.000+08:00

Today is the day whereby i had to go for the surgery. We left the house quite early, 6.50am to avoid the jam.

After registration, we were brought to a room where the nurse weigh me & later changed me. Onli one parent is allowed to follow me to the operating threate, so daddy decide that mummy will be the one since she usually can calm me down rather quicky.

The operating threate looks scary... with some huge lights at the ceiling, a big bed & many many mental instruments hanging around. Then came an uncle who blow bubbles for me to see. While some strangers held my hand tightly & suddenly... OUCH! Something bite me... pain pain. I cried really loudy... but slowly i realised i don't have the strength to cry anymore & zzzzzzzzzz.....

Before i knew it, the surgery was over & i am in mummy's arms again. Whew! Mummy's arm feel so much cozy & warm compared to tt mental bed.

Mummy: Dear sweetie, you've been such a brave girl. You didnt cry much even after the surgery though its painful. All you asked for after the surgery is mummy to carry & cuddle you more. Daddy & mummy is very very proud of it!

A big Lump

2006-01-19T11:06:00.000+08:00

My teachers noticed a lump under my armpit while bathing me some months back. mummy brought me to see PD for that, at the time, it wasn't that big. So uncle doctor said can just leave it alone as long as it didnt grow bigger or have any pus in it.

Nonetheless, the lump decide to grow with me.. & it just wouldnt stop growing. It came to a stage where is turns really really big & red with some pus near the surface. Daddy & mummy were shocked to see the rate it is growing so they rush me down to KKH to see a surgeon.

I am scheduled to go for a day surgery next wed to remove the lump. Wonder if it will hurt??

My CNY dress

2006-01-18T22:56:00.000+08:00

Last day of 2005

2005-12-31T23:27:00.000+08:00

Today is 31 Dec which marks the last day of 2005!

We went out rather early this morning, left house at abt 9am to meet grandma etc at Chinatown for dim sum. The food looks real yummy.. but i can't eat. So.. i decide that since i can't eat, i also don't want to let mummy enjoy her food.

Haha, i refuse to co-operate sitting in my pram nor the high chair & i want mummy to carry me throughout the whole maken session.

After that, we went to Chinatown market to buy those traditional chinese clothings for Chinese New Year which is just round the corner.

then its a shopping sphere for the day.. we went bugis too. hmm... daddy bought me a cloth that have special rubber edges for me to bite. Sounds yummy rite? Mummy says must wash1st before i can put that in my mouth... aiyoh.. mummy, make sure you wash it tonite so that i can bite bite tomolo, ok? Then mummy also choose a nice nice photo frame to put my photo.. haha.. finally, a photo of me in a photo frame.

Hmm.. think i must have been a very good girl. Yesterday Mr Santa drop by my house, & left 2 presents for me. Haha... not 1 but 2 ley... Ok, mummy says i may open the presents later.

Then mummy bought me the wang wang baby biscuit. This is the 1st time i eat biscuit. I very kancheong upon seeing the biscuit, taking big bites all the time. Don't blame me, i very scare that the biscuit will be eaten by mummy lah, coz i saw her breaking some & putting into her mouth. She say want to taste the biscuit, see whether got any seasonings added a not. But hor, i think its because she very greedy lah. Any, the biscuit is yummy, got chicken flavour one.

After eating the biscuit, its present opening time. I told quite some time to open the presents... of coz with some help from daddy & mummy lah. Ok... guess what i got from Santa? Haaha.. think Santa must have heard my prayer lah, i wanted a pram toy mah.. so he gave me a pram toy lah. But hor, the other present i didn't ask for it ley.. its a pair of shoes & a dress... hmm.. i think maybe Mr Santa make a wrong delivery lah. But never mind, free one mah.. i take lor.. anyway it seems to fit me very well... Ay, tell u all hor, the shoes even have written on its soles ley "A superstar has born". hoho..

Evening time, we went to daddy's aunty's house, my grand auntie house for dinner. Wah.. there are so many people who looks unfamiliar to me. They came to me & try to play with me lah. I also entertain them lor.. else wait they think i attitude mah. Then some of them wants to carry me ley.. aiyoh, mummy alreadie told them that i am super glue liao mah.. they still want to test how sticky i am to mummy... so guess how i respond to them? I turn my head away when they ask me whether i want to "bao bao" a not.... haha.... dun pray pray hor!

Christmas Eve...

2005-12-24T23:13:00.000+08:00

But hor, mummy don't even let me get near to the pizza.. keep saying i don't how to eat yet. Horrible right? Never even let me try & alreadie conclude that i dunno how to eat wor!

So comes the Christmas cake. Mummy says let me cut the cake lah, since i'm turning 6 mths in a few days time. A bit funny, coz where got people celebrate 6mths one? Mummy gulity this time, so she let me try a little tiny bit of the cake, but i act big shot, don't want to eat ley. I angry lah, coz i want pizza mah, then mummy dun give me, want to give me cake as replacement. Where got such things one?

Shoes

2005-12-22T22:44:00.000+08:00

Silly mummy suddenly recalled that she has not taken any photos of my shoes. She thought she shall do it now. OK, the pink one is my 1st shoes, while the minnie one is my 2nd shoe, which mummy just bought it for me today.

Actually hor, i think there isn't a need for me to wear shoes yet lah.. afterall, i oso dunno how to walk yet mah. Aiyoh, KS mummy lah, she said hor, hear people complained that their kiddos dun want to wear shoes when they start walking coz they not used to it mah. So she better train me to walk shoes when young lah.

Anyway, never mind lor, she buy, i wear lah. As long as no need me to pay hor, i am ok with it lah.

Oh no.. tt means i've got to study study study liao. But i quite enjoy myself when mum was flashing card 0 to 4 to me just now lah. Actually hor, i was smiling thoughtout.. i think coz mummy looks like a clown trying to make me interested in the cards lah...

Chirstmas gathering

2005-12-17T23:23:00.000+08:00

Got to know quite a no. of friends today. They are all babies of mummy's forum friends. We went to Woodsvale function room for a little gathering - pre Chirstmas celebration.

Hmm.. there were about over 10 littles babies & toddlers. Me being the youngest!

Er.. ok the place is very nice. Got a big swimming pool, function room as well a very cooling lounge. Daddy & mummy were attracted to the place... & were like going "wah.. very nice place hor!" Of coz very nice lah.. private house ley..

Somewhere in the party, silly mummy want to tempt me with her packet drink. She thought i don't know how to suck from the straw wor! But she was wrong.. i am very good at it when comes to sweet drinks. Haha.. i just put tt straw in between my lips & voila... got water come out. Clever me rite?

Then there were this gift exchange session where we have "lucky dip". I got a no. 8 & my present is a very nice pooh bear bath towel. But mummy says cannot use now, wait until CNY then can use wor! Horrible right?

Oh, forgot to mention. i am pretty popular among the aunties there. They all want to carry me ley.. but i start to get cranky towards the end of the party & i only want mummy to carry. Ok, those aunties think my crying is very cute... hmm... does it mean i should do more crying??

Teeth, tooth? Which is which?

2005-12-13T10:13:00.000+08:00

Hoho, mummy got a great discovery today. Make a guess what it is?

Hmm.. can't guess? Alrite, i'll tell u.. there this little tiny bit of tooth coming out from my lower gum. Er.. it's pretty tiny, can only see a bit of it.

Mummy tried to take a photo of it, but er... i don't want lah.. nothing to see mah. Haha & it's copyright...

Chirstmas present?

2005-12-12T10:24:00.000+08:00

Guess what? i overheard mummy telling daddy that both of them will get a Christmas present for me seperately. Well, i am more than happy coz that means i'll get 2 presents instead of 1.

Er.. ok, i know, i shouldn't be listening to what they say, coz i'm "supposed" to be asleep. Hmm.. sorry... hehe

Kindermusik Trial

2005-12-11T22:34:00.000+08:00

Kindermusik=kinder Music? Haha.. i guess there are some relation blah. Hmm, what's the thing about Kindermusik? OK, mummy signed me up for the trial there with 11 other mummies from the Singapore Motherhood forum.

We reached Tanglin Mall at around 12.30pm & went to register about 12.45pm. Mummy met her cousin there who have a baby boy who is born on the same day as me. What coincidence!

Then there was this gor gor who sits next to me during the class. Hmm... he seems to like me ley. haha... he kept looking at me. (Oppss... mummy say i thick skin).

After the trial, we continue shopping. Saw this organic shop, mummy & daddy went in & bought me 2 boxes of brown rice cereal & another box of small pkts rice cereal to bring out. Not cheap ley... 1 box of organic brown rice cereal cost $6.50, while the box of 5 individual pkts of rice cereal cot $7. While a normal packet of dumex or gerber cereal only cost $2 to $3.

Oh, Marketplace at Tanglin Mall have this baby seat that is attached to the trolley. This is the 1st time mummy saw such a thing, coz NTUC & other supermarket don't have such stuff. So mummy decide to out me there & cruise the whole supermarket. Mummy even tell daddy that this is good, only need to deposit $1 & get to sit on it... cheaper than kiddy rides & best things is, it is unlimited timing & ride. Cheapo mummy! But i seems rather happy in the baby seat, probably coz i can talk to mummy at the same time...

As Xmas is just around the corner, there are lots of decorations around the whole stretch of Orchard Road. Daddy & mummy thought of walking down Orchard Road to see the lighting. But as i am sick, they decide to head home after taking some photos with Big Mr Snowman...

This Mr Snowman, i understand can produce snow one. But how come i see no snow ah? Hmmm.... alamak, only certain timing will Mr Snowman produce snow. Wasted!

bronchitis

2005-12-09T21:34:00.000+08:00

Bronchitis.. sounds like brocholi? ok.. jokes aside. I am sick.. having lots & lots of phglem & there is a lot of noise when i breath. Have a slight fever yesterday night & this morning.

So mummy took leave to bring me see PD at this Marsiling. She wanted to try this clinic as she read from the forum that the doc, Angelin Tan is quite gd, & moreover, the doc at Kidslink (Jurong East) doesn't seems to have the cure for my this long-lasting phglem problem.

This is the "monster"... it gives out a loud noise when working!

Doctor says my condition is considered "medium" & mummy can either rent this Nebuliser home or can admit me to hospital. Of coz, mummy prefer to rent the equipment home. Just the consultation fees, medicine fees & the rental cost mummy $226... wah.. mummy, that's a lot...

Ok, talking abt this nebuliser. Have to mix 4 different types of medicine in, & there is this funny looking mask that is to be put over my nose & mouth. Then supposed to last for 10 mins ea process & i am supposed to use that 4 times a day, for 1 week.

Hmm. i hate this "monster" it let out lots of gas & i simply feel very uncomfortable. I will be screaming my head & crying non stop whenever mummy on that Monster...

Oh, by the way, did i mention that mummy is going to be on leave for the whole of next week to attend to me? Haha... mummy, i'm going to stick to you.. hohoho...

Oh, mummy did a "stock check" of the hairclips i have....

Look at the number of hairclips i have.... & my collection is still increasing..

Hip Hop?

2005-12-04T21:59:00.000+08:00

Look what look? You look somemore i KISS you ah!

Haha.. mummy thinks that i look very "hip hop" with this cap. Do i?

Grandpa's birthday.

2005-12-03T21:03:00.000+08:00

Today is grandpa's actual birthday.

As there isn't any more towels, diapers & powder at the infant care, daddy & mummy decide to make a trip to the centre before heading to grandma's house to celebrate grandpa's birthday.

Hmm.. finally had a photo taken with one of the teachers at infant care. Then we went to Westmall to shop around as it is still early. Mummy spotted a pink party dress which i can wear during the Pre-Christmas gathering on 17/12. I love it too... coz it looks yummy. Haha. Oh, the salesgirl never say there is a 20% discount for members. If mummy had known about it earlier, she would have sign up for the membership 1st before buying that dress... mummy keep complaining that she would have save $4+....

Finally reached grandma's house about 4pm. Took a little nay before going to central for dinner. Hmm.. as its grandpa's birthday today.. i decide to "bake" him a "chocolate cake".. haha. Silly mummy never bring along any diapers to contain the "cake" so poor daddy have to rush to Shop & Save to purchase a new packet of diapers and wet tissues.

After dinner, we went back to grandma's house. While grandpa was cutting his birthday cake & others are singing, i was happily sleeping away....

Moral of "chocolate cake": I can "bake" cakes anything, anywhere. So.... please be prepare with all the necessary "equipments, ok?"

"public" high chair

2005-11-30T16:21:00.000+08:00

Mummy found a kind, generous auntie (opps should call her "jie jie", else wait she unhappy) to sponser $50 to get me a dress. haha...

Without waiting, daddy & mummy brought me to paragon, with hope of getting a dress. But before we even start shopping, they are hungry. So they go to this restuarant for lunch. They saw this IKEA highchair & decide to let me try sitting on it. (so far, i've yet to sit on a high chair when i am outside).

Look, don't i look cute? haha.. but daddy & mummy were pretty shock when they see me raise my leg & acutally rest it on the highchair. Mummy commented that i look like a trishaw puller.
Hey mummy, i look so cute & adorable, where got look like trishaw puller.

Finally, they finish their lunch. But we walk the whole section of paragon, also never find a nice dress. Haiz...went home empty handed. What a disappointment!

New bedsheets!

2005-11-22T23:24:00.000+08:00

Wah.. mummy sewed 3 new bedsheets for me. So happy.. at least something unique where no one else have. There's this twin star one.. i loved it... pinkish colour somemore.

oh, then daddy & mummy going to start a new project... making flashcards for me. Saw mummy bought lots of vanguard sheets... wondering what she is going to do with it.

Lastly, mummy commented that i am a very good girl when comes to sleeping at night. They can just leave me in my cot, give me my pacifier & my beansprout shell pillow, off the lights & i am off to dreamland. haha....

Another achievement, now i can sit with support for like 1 to 2 mins?

Xmas tree

2005-11-20T21:00:00.000+08:00

Today, as usual, we went shopping. This time to Taka. Same a big big tree at their lobby, its not quite the same as those trees along the roadside. This one got lights, stars.. & lots of balls balls hanging around.

I was quite amazed & attracted by it, keep staring at the tree. Then i got to know from mummy that its a xmas tree. & it is supposed to be one of the icons of xmas. By the way, what is chirstmas? Can it be eaten?

Anyway, its quite unique lah. So daddy took a photo of me & the big xmas tree...

Celebrating grandpa's birthday

2005-11-19T22:02:00.000+08:00

Oh, we are going to celebrate grandpa's birthday in advance today. So off we go to Suntec city.. there is this restaurant.. dunno wat "dong dong... wishing bowl" or something like tt lah. It is basically a japansese restaurant.. buffet style.

There is this hourly special thing & its cotton candy! Mummy let me try the cotton candy & its yummy... loved it so much. But mummy say can only try a bit.. cannot eat much... sad sad.

Cereal!

2005-11-09T16:33:00.000+08:00

Mummy introduce me something new today.. its called "cereal" i think. But this time round, she never put it into my milk bottle, instead she feed me using a spoon.

Er.. but i don't know how to eat from the spoon ley! End up having cereal all over my mouth & mummy keep complaining that i look so messy. Hmm... but never mind lah... my 1st time mah! Anyway, the cereal have a very nice smell...... oh, by the way, i am taking banana favour now.

Mummy's back

2005-11-08T20:38:00.000+08:00

Yippy... finally mummy can be discharged from hospital today! Really missed mummy for the past 6 days. Oh.. mummy says she miss me lots too... hehehehe....

Anyway, hope all the bad luck will "shoo shoo" away.

Back to grandma's house

2005-11-02T21:54:00.000+08:00

Oh dear, poor mummy is still suffering from great pain. So daddy & mummy decided to go back to grandma's house again in case mummy can't look after me.

Mummy's pain did not subside, so she have to go to hospital A&E. Hmm.. understand from grandma that mummy need to be hospitalised this time. Sob sob....

But luckily, i still got daddy & grandma as well as grandpa to love me & take care of me. Supposed that i missed mummy so much that i am crying most of the time today. Grandma really have a headache looking after me. :p

3 days 2 nights stay at Marina Mandarin

2005-10-31T15:43:00.000+08:00

Yippy, we are going for a hotel stay again. This is the 2nd time i am going to stay in the hotel. This time round, we are going to Marina Mandarin & 2 nights somemore. Pretty exciting rite?
Daddy & mummy had a harder time packing my stuff this time round, lots of things to bring, like my diapers, milk powder, etc etc.. heard mummy telling daddy that she can't imagine the number of luggages she have to bring if we were to go overseas for holiday.

Hmm... we went shopping at Cityhall, Robinsons is have a 25% discount for member over this wkends. So mummy bought me some new clothes. Then we went to Suntec City. There are some new kiddie shops at level 3, mummy bought me 2 new clothes... can't wait to wear them, but mummy says they are for Chinese New Year. Beginning to look forward to Chinese New Year... by the way, mummy, what is Chinese New Year ah? Is it tomorrow???

Then around 11.30pm, daddy & mummy start to feel real hungry. They brought me down to the hotel lounge for some supper... wah.. the atmosphere there was superb... loved the music being played. This is the 1st time i slept so late... could hardly open my eyes when we return to our room.

Overall, we enjoyed the stay there, except that on the day we check out, mummy suffered a very bad ache around her rib bones... she seems to be in great pain... poor mummy...

Staying at Grandma's house

2005-10-18T20:39:00.000+08:00

Today, mummy is going for a minor day surgery. Understand from mummy that after the surgery, we will be going to grandma's house to stay for the time being coz she won't be able to carry "heavy load".. (er... am i consider "heavy"?) for the time being.

Saw daddy & mummy pack a huge luggage of clothings, etc on last Sun. A bit excited, coz never stayed at grandma's house before. Oh mummy, don't forget to bring my milk bottles, ok?

hmm.. lastly, my teacher commented that i am getting very pretty & lovely. Haha... its making me flying to cloud 9!

Looking back -- Mummy's view

2005-10-10T12:23:00.000+08:00

Dear Shanice,

This is a very special message written from mummy to my little princess. Through the past 3 months, you've brought me lots of mixed feelings.

From the moment u've arrived to this wonderful world, i start to feel very attached to you. I couldn't bear, but feel sad whenever the nurse at KKH wanted to push you back to the nursery for blood test (you sure have lots of blood test during the 1st few days) The waiting period for the test results to come back is the hardest period i had, can't help but feel anxious & worried, & praying very hard that the results will be good.

Throughtout my maternity leave, i took care of you morning & afternoon all alone while daddy is working. And daddy will help me with the night feeds at time. So i guess its this period, that we really start to build up & developed our bonding into a very strong one, which is probably why you only want mummy to comfy you when you are sleepy or in a bad mood. (by-the-way, daddy is very angry & jealous coz you only wants mummy.. haha)

There are always new surprises for mummy as you grow each day. From a tiny baby who doesn't knows how to respond but sleeps most of the time to a pretty little baby who never fails to brighten my day whenever you gave me a big bright smile. You loved "blah-ing" away & doing your little exercise (kicking & moving your hands & legs) when i talk to you. Probably you are too young to know what i'm talking, but at least you are giving me some respond.

Then there were times when mummy is rather angry & lost, don't know what to do when you throw your tantrum for no reasons. To be honest, there are times when mummy is so mad with you that mummy nearly want to whack your little buttoms... but thank goodness, mummy managed to control.

Mummy need to thank you coz you are the one who taught mummy how to be more patient, responsible & caring.

My little princess, Shanice, mummy will always love you & will be there for you whenever you need me. May you be blessed with good health & happiness each & every day in your life.

Looking forward to turning 4th month

2005-10-09T23:31:00.000+08:00

I'm turning 4 mths at the end of this month. Mummy is more excited than me, coz from 4th mths onwards, i can start to take cereal, another major milestone in my life.

So yesterday & today, off mummy & daddy went to stock up the necessary stuff to wean me off. Things they bought, 2 recipie book, at thermo food warmer, weaning spoon, a porridge cooker, dish for bringing out & a weaning bottle for putting cereal.

One of the books mummy brought is "Top 100 Baby Puree", the purees inside looks yummy... & best of all, most of them can be frozen & kept up to 6 wks. But those purees can onli be introduce to me when i am 6mths onwards as she is scare that i will develop allergy to certain food ... haiz... mummy, mummy, when will i turn 6 mths? I can't wait to try those yummy purees....

Sick!

2005-10-03T21:44:00.000+08:00

Both mummy & myself got attacked by the flu virus. Early in the morning, mummy brought me to Jurong East to meet grandma. Then she brought me to the PD. The doctor said as i have sensitive skin, there means i am more prone to having sensitive nose & asthma. And this is probably inherit from either daddy or mummy.

I was given some orange syrup... it has a orange smell & taste quite yummy. The adults called it "medicine" while i prefered to call it orange juice for babies coz it doesn't quite taste like orange juice.

Then i got onto the weighing scale again. This time round, i am 5.6kg & 61cm.

mummy says: Dear girl, on hearing that you might be more prone to sensitive nose or asthma, i was pretty worried. Certainly hope that you won't developed that two illness and will grow to become a happy & healthy girl.

Childrens' Day

2005-10-01T13:55:00.000+08:00

Its Childrens' Day. Though i'm not really considered as children yet, but since there is no such day as "Infants' Day", mummy thought she will still get me a Childrens' Day present.

Mummy gotten me some clothings... nice nice ones. (Actually mummy loves to doll me up regardless the occassion). Grandma brought me a little rattle which acts as a teeth cooler, and i've got some tibits and a ball from my teachers at the infant care.

Sad thing is that i still can't take any solid food, not to mention eating tibits. The teachers asked mummy to eat those tibits on my behalf instead.

Finally, mummy promised that she'll take leave on every Childrens' Day to bring me out & buy me lovely present. I certainly look forward to Childrens' Day since i'll be receiving presents.. hahaha

Taking passport photos

2005-09-25T17:05:00.000+08:00

Daddy & mummy are planning to go for a short trip this November, thus they are going to make a passport for me. There is this service whereby application for passport can be sent through the internet & it actually cost cheaper than going down to apply for it.

Thus daddy have to take digital photos of me. It wasn't an easy task due to many requirements of how the photos should be:

APPLES allows you to submit your photograph for printing onto your passport through an image file attachment. Your photograph image must be taken within the last 3 months, in colour taken against a plain white background, and show the full face without headgear (headgear worn in accordance with religious or racial customs is acceptable but must not hide the facial features).
Your photograph image file attachment must be:

- in JPEG format;
- the file size should be no more than 60 Kbytes;
- the dimension of the photo image has to be 400 by 514 pixels.

So daddy turns into a photographer, but its so difficult to get a nice picture. I was either busy looking or the lighting is not gd.

Mummy then decide why not just bring me to the studio to take proper passport photo, still pending daddy's approval...

Look! I'm smiling

2005-09-22T16:34:00.000+08:00

Finally the day came, i know how to give daddy & mummy a big smile. This time, mummy is rather sure that its a real smile, not that i can't control my nerves anymore. Grandma used to say that bb don't really know how to smile when they are 1 to 3 mths old.

Nonetheless, i am not a person who smiles very often, so mummy needs to take quite a bit of effort to make me feel happy, then i will give her a sweet smile. How does she do that? hmmm... she have to keep talking or singing to me, then when i'm in a happy mood, i'll smile lor.. simple as that, rite mummy??

But then, i don't usually like to smile in front of a camera, i mean, why smile at something that doesn't respond, right? Thus daddy & mummy always fail to capture a photo of me smiling.

Mummy says: Shanice dear, am very very happy & surprised to see you giving me a full smile today. Its like "wow, my dear girl is finally giving me some respond". I must say it does brighten up my day whenever i see your beautiful smile that i can't stop by keep telling your daddy "look, sure a sweet smile" or "ay, Shanice is smiling again".

1st day at infant care centre

2005-09-21T20:51:00.000+08:00

Mummy is back at work today. So i had to wake up like 6am to change my diapers & my clothes. Was quite surprised that mummy didn't put me on her bed to continue sleeping (my usual routine is to wake mummy up around 6am+ so that she will put me on her bed & me continue sleeping till 8am+), instead she put me in the sling & out of the house we go.

I opened my eyes real wide so this is the 1st time we went out so early. Its a different experience for me. I was awake throughout the whole journey to the centre. I was the 1st baby to reach the centre... reaching there about 7.15am. Mummy brief the teacher abt my feeding hours, & i am left alone with the teacher while mummy goes to work.

When mummy came to fetch me around 5.50pm, i just woke up from my beauty sleep. Teachers there commented that i'm a good girl, they have no difficulties feeding me. & what surprised mummy most is that the teachers there say i can sleep for long hours without asking for people to carry me. So her conclusion is that i really know how to bully mummy... kekekkeee

I've got a new pram

2005-09-03T23:28:00.000+08:00

As COE is getting more affordable, daddy & mummy decide to invest in a 2nd "car" for me. This time round, it's light weight, only 4.2kg, fully "convertable" & best of all, handy in size.

Reason for the new "car"... it can shade me from the bright sun & the bright lights when i go shopping. I like my new car, its nice & cozy... (of course, anything that is new is always the best... kekekeke)

Oh, grandmummy says my hair is very nice... look at how nicely my hair curls around in the centre of my head. While acutally mummy says that she wants photo to show me how my hair looks like esp the dropping of my baby hair... she feel very heartache to see me going bald... (er.. actually i am not bald yet, touch wood, i won't be bald.. i love my hair lots)

1st 6-in-1 injection

2005-08-31T22:12:00.000+08:00

Had my 1st 6-in-1 injection taken today. Mummy says i am a very brave girl as i never cried at all. I guess its because of the cream given 30mins before the injection that help to ease the pain & auntie nurse who tried to distract me when the doc gave me the injection. I am now 4.67kg, 57cm.

My next injection is due in 2 months time.

High-chair

2005-08-30T20:21:00.000+08:00

Finally, daddy & mummy bought me a high chair. it can be converted to a seperate table & chair when i am older. & the best part is that there is a board for me to play lego. Hahaha... so now daddy & mummy can't have any excuse not to buy me lego in future.

Tried the high chair, its a bit too big for me now. Daddy says in abt another mth, i should be able to sit in it.

My 1st flashcard

2005-08-28T22:21:00.000+08:00

Mummy started showing me my 1st flashcard. Its number flashcards with little dots on one side. Instruction says that to obtain the best result, mummy have to show it to me 3 times a day. This wk, i am learning zero to four. actually i don't really understand what it means, but never mind since mummy show me, i just see see look look... (in order to pls her)

Oh.. then mummy got this idea of making her own alphabant flash card.. hmm... she bought some white cards, marker... oh well, i guess its just another "3 mins interest" of hers... hahah. She will probably give up soon, rather spend some $ to buy me a decent set instead of wasting time doing the flashcard.

Fever!

2005-08-24T09:47:00.000+08:00

I am down with fever since mon. still not well yet... Dr says might need abt 3 days to recover. Today is the 3rd day, hope the fever will shoo shoo by tomorrow. By the way, my weight now is 4.6kg with a height of 56cm.

To my Shanice,

Shanice, its mummy here. Mummy feel so heartache to see you being sick. You lost your voice as you have been crying quite a bit since yesterday night. I guess you must have been extremely uncomfortable.

It was a tough night for mummy yesterday coz you couldn't sleep well, and i have to pat you almost throughout the whole night. But i guess as long as you recover soon, its worth while.

Love,
mummy

Hotel stay at Stamford the raffles

2005-08-20T21:23:00.000+08:00

Daddy & mummy brought me for a hotel stay at Stamford the Raffles today. It is a weekend getaway cum 2nd yr wedding anniversary for them. Er.. actually it is a pre-celebration. The room is rather big & there is very nice scenery too.

Shopping shopping & more shopping!

2005-08-12T16:21:00.000+08:00

Yahoo! Went shopping again today. Before we went shopping, we went to grandma's house (Daddy's parents). This is the 1st time i went there. Grandma's neighbour says i look very fair & pretty.. hahaha... i think so too.. :p But during the stay there, i was actually asleep throughout.

After that, we went Suntec City. Done quite a bit of shopping this wk, been to Bugis last Sat, then to Takashimaya on Wed. So this time round, daddy & mummy wanted to get me more clothings for the infant care. There was a great discount in the shop FOX... so mummy managed to get me 15 clothings are the price of $52 onli, which is abt $3.50 per pcs... wah.. what a big bargain! It makes me a FOX baby now!

Daddy & mummy also managed to get something for themselves this time round, even the 3 hamsters at our house got something too!

Visit to the infant care centre

2005-08-11T16:13:00.000+08:00

Its Thurs, since daddy is not working, we went to source for a infant care centre at Bukit Batok. Intially, daddy & mummy wanted to put me under the care of a baby sitter, but then, mummy was rather worried that i will not be in good hands. So she decide that it might be better if she enrol me in an infant care centre.

I managed to take a tour around the centre. It is air-conditioned, & there is a seperate room for us, infants & toddlers. Daddy & mummy was very happy with the environment there, & was rather certain that i will be well-taken over there, so they decided to put me there. My 1st day of "school" will be on 15th Sept as mummy will be returning to work on 19th Sept.

Mummy will be in charged of sending me to & fro the infant care centre. Before i left the centre, i had a chance to miggle with 2 other jie jies who are 14mths old.

Daddy on leave

2005-08-07T16:09:00.000+08:00

Daddy went to extract his wisdom tooth today. Mummy brought me along to the dental clinic. We waited like 1/2 hr for the dentist to extract daddy's teeth. After that, daddy was given a wk's medical leave to rest at home. Yippy... i am so happi coz daddy will be able to accompany me for a wk. Cheers!

Massaging time

2005-08-06T16:04:00.000+08:00

Dad & mum signed up for a baby massage course at Raffles hospital. At around 11.45am, we left for home. This is my first time to town. Reached there at about 12.30pm, dad & mum had some snack before proceeding to the room for the course.

There are a few babies, me being the younges. Was told that there are several benefits of massaging, like being able to sleep better, reduce colic, etc etc. We started off with the face massage, tummy, hands, legs & finally the back.

Didn't really enjoy the massage because the room was extremely cold. The session ended at 2pm. We went Bugis for shopping after that. Daddy & mummy bought me a sweater, 2 new bottles & 2 new clothes.

I am sick

2005-08-05T21:25:00.000+08:00

Sob sob... i am not feeling well. I keep crying for no reasons, & when i drink milk, i couldn't finish my usual amount. So mummy brought me to see a PD with grandma.

Doc said i have little white dots on my tongue that makes it painful & that's the reason why i keep crying when i am drinking. Also, i have colic. So i have to take a cream that is to be apply on my tongue to make those yurky white things come out, so that i can regain my appetite & i won't feel pain pain anymore. Then there is another liquid to be added to my milk to get rid of the wind in my tummy...

My weight as at today is 3.48kg

My full mth celebration

2005-07-30T21:43:00.000+08:00

Finally, the big day came, daddy & mummy is going to celebrate my full mth today. Relatives & friends were being invited to come share the joy. Uncle Michael was the 1st to reach, he took lots of photos of me & he actually took a photo with me too.

There were lots of goodies, from fried mee siam to cheese cake & brownies. Daddy & mummy even bought me a 2kg minnie mouse cake. But then sad to say, i still can't take solid food. Sigh.. what a waste!

After all the aunties & uncles went home, i cried quite a few times. I guess i didn't really like crowds... afterall, i just want my beauty sleep. But i do like those presents i receive today.. got ang paus, toys & lots of clothings.
