HaPpY Two YeAr Old BiRthDaY to me. :)

My parents brought me out for dinner and they asked along my Gu1 Zhang4, Gu1 Gu1 and my 2 cousins along. My grandma went out liao, so she was not able to go for the dinner.

Thank you Gu1 Gu1 for buying me the Thomas Train and ang pow. :)
Oh not to forget, got to thank my papa and mama too, without them, I would not be in this world. haha.

Below are some photos and a video.

My mama said that I still do not know how to sing birthday song and blow out the candles.. haha.. the reason is because I do not get to blow candles often.... so how to practice? :p Anyway, mama feel that I should be able to for next year's birthday. hee

We waited so long for the waitress to set up the so call "base" for putting up the cake.. the waitress recommend saying that the effect will be very nice.... who knows hor wait and wait.. so long she also never appear with the "set up".. until my papa asked her again.. super slow ... put dry ice underneath, but only pour water to make the "special effect" after my mama had blown off the candles. hahaha

Singing

Below are the some videos that my mama managed to catch me in action.. "singing", but she and papa really cannot figure out what song was I singing or who I was imitating.. I was holding a small gun (actually it was a used lighter), using it as a microphone.. walking here and there with so much action.. until my mama got to follow me too.. sorry that the videos were a bit shaky hor. If you able to catch, almost to the end of the videos I was saying "xie4 xie4", after I finished singing my song. :p







I sang until I side track (watching tv), my "microphone" dropped, then still want to continue singing. :p

New Hair Cut

I just got my new hair cut, should say I just had my hair shaved! My papa and mama still thinks that I looked best when I shave my hair, not so messy la. :p

This was me playing with something new.. Thomas Train.. my new liking besides cars, buses and trucks. But somehow I still not able to differentiate among these vehicles.. so end up I will call all as "CARS" haha.. Maybe when I grow older.

Below was a video that my mama find it funny. My papa had earlier on taught me how the train sounds when it starts its engine.. then I also try to imitate (mama thinks I sounds like letting out "air"), then I still need my papa to stay with me, I even pulled him to appear in the video. :p

Climbing again

I still like to climb a lot, on a chair, table, sofa or cot.

My mama caught me climbing in and out of my cot...., my mama wonders when will I stop climbing in and out of my cot, sometime I even try out "new stunt" which makes her worried.. haizz.

The below video was taken when I was still "perfecting" my skills of climbing into and out of my cot. Now I am able to climb very well liao, but they are still worried that I may fall due to "xin1 bu4 zai4 yan1" because somehow I like to climb in and out of the cot while watching the tv commercial. :p

22 months

Erm, nothing much to update also. :p

Just that I still refused to use a tooth brush to brush my teeth, my papa and mama am still waiting for the day to come until their neck long..

My mama managed to take these two photos where by I was "brushing" my teeth, I really did and I even "pui4" out the foam like an adult. kekeke



This was me wearing my papa's "old fashion" spectacles frame (that he wore them during his army days) and holding on to my toothbrush in another hand. hahaha




Do I look like a "pro" when I was brushing my teeth? (Mama think I only "wayang wayang" nia leh)


Below Video was me trying to brush my teeth and "pui4" out the "output". :p

To Wear or Not to Wear? Kekeke

I tried wearing my parents' rings, but somehow they came off after I wore them. Maybe my fingers were still too small to wear them ah. kekekeke

My mama very kai si, she would always closely observed me whenever I played with their rings, cause halfway through I will just swing my fingers and the rings will dropped off from my fingers and scatter onto the floor. :p

中秋节 aka Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival

It was the first time that my papa and mama brought me to Chinese Garden to see the lanterns.
After taking my dinner (my parents had their dinner), we proceed to the Chinese Garden, armed with camera and reached around 730pm.

Just after my papa had bought the tickets, when he wanted to take a picture of me and mama at the entrance, guess what.. papa told us that the camera batteries went flat!!!
Mama was quite upset about herself for not checking the battery status before she placed the camera in my diaper bag. Papa said we would "hunt" for the batteries if we happened to find any stall that sells.

Since we we had already bought the tickets, so we proceed to the Chinese Garden. Even though it was the 2nd last day of the lanterns display, still the place was crowded with people.

Initially, my parents let me walk on my own, but seeing that I was running very fast instead of walking slowly, they put me back onto my stroller.. aiyo... my mama was so scare that I get knocked by people or coming stroller..

After an hour of walking and sight-seeing, we did not see any stall that was selling batteries... so mama decided to try her luck, she asked one of the stall vendors whether her stall sell batteries. Her stall (selling those lanterns and barangs) did sell batteries, but she was selling 4AAs batteries for $3.00, and those are just normal (no brand batteries)! Anyway, papa bought it, "no fish prawn also good" :p. At least we took some pictures, but most of the pictures I did not focus at the camera and I keep yawning away. My mama was wondering, how come I still feel so tired even though I had my afternoon nap (3 hours) before I went to Chinese Garden. But mama:" please note that by the time we finished our so call "touring" the Chinese Garden, the time was already 9.30pm". It has passed my zzz-ing time already ah (my usual sleeping time was 9pm lastest), of course I was yawning and look tired lor." Hehe But, I did enjoy myself, thanks papa and mama. :)

Wearing Adult Slippers


My mama caught me wearing my nai3 nai1's slippers, the way I walk with the slippers looks funny to her. But mama, I was walking with care as I do not want to get trip. :p

My papa bought me a lantern for the coming mid autumn lantern festival.

21 Months










Halo all, long time no update... currently I am 21 months, but I have nothing much to update on my growing. :p I am growing healthily that is for sure and my mama think that I am super de hyper active, run here run there, climb here climb there. I can even stand on the seat of my tricycle without holding on to anything! (Mama, I am just trying to balance myself and trying to breathe in more fresh air mah.) haha. Mama, standing on top of the tricycle is shiok! Hopefully, my height is also growing. :p

My typical feeding/napping schedule for weekends are as follow:-

7am: 240ml milk
845am:Instant oatmeals/biscuits or little bit of bee hoon + 100 or 150ml soya bean milk (bought from market).
12noon: porridge
2-4 or 430pm: Afternoon nap
430pm: 200ml or 240 milk
615pm: porridge
845pm: Night feed of milk before I go for my dream land till the next day.

As for my vital status, my mama did not really take note, long time since they weigh me and measure me.

Oh, by the way, at night and afternoon nap I will still need my mama to pat my buttock to my dream land. :p

No Topic

Good old days.

Gone were the "good old days" when I needs to sit in my walker or should it be "bad old days"? since my parents would need to confine me to the walker which restricts my movement?

That was like almost 1 year ago. Guessed what, when I see this walker (my cousin's walker), when I was at my grandparents house, I climbed in to sit in it. :p I was enjoying myself playing with the sterling wheels, horn etc. My mama was so worried that I will spoilt the seat. hahaha

(Background: That's my grandfather talking to my mama, my grandmother was sitting behind me, can see her hor? :p The one in checked bermudas was my 2nd yiyi, too bad only filmed her legs, cannot see her face. haha Maybe next time hor )

Playground

Am I strong?

This evening, my cousins and their parents came to my house. By viewing the video, do you think I was strong? I was able to push my cousin quite a distance while he sits on my toy car. Actually, I was also able to push my mama along (you never read wrongly, it's my mama! Big kid..), when she was sitting on the car too. But no video was recorded of course :p, don't think you will get a chance to see because my mama will never want to sit on the toy car again, afraid that her weight may be too heavy for the poor toy car. :p

Following the bit!

I think I really like dancing or does all kids goes through this stage? I wonder. I am getting more sensitive to the camera nowadays. Thus, mama cannot take too long to video record of my moment and she got to do it secretly behind my back... see the way I behaved once I noticed her moment... :p Guessed that maybe I was shy?

Update after I reached 20mths

Hi All,

I had turned 20 month.... time really flies.

I had just recovered from stomach flu. It was a bad experience for me, papa, mama and grandma.

1st sigh of stomach flu (on 13 Aug 07):-

I vomited out some gastric juice early morning around 4am+.. then followed by diarroea and mild fever.

They brought me to visit a GP and I was diagnosed with stomach flu. Eeeks.. I vomited at least 6 times and diarrhoea per day is about 4 times than the usual. I have no appetite to eat porridge or drink milk either although the GP said that mama can feed me with porridge. I only likes to drink water occasionally.

My parents feed me with medicine till I scared, so I don't even want to drink the ribena or glucolin that they made for me (Dr advised that I need to intake more fluid so that I won't be dehydrated). I also don't like the taste of the "freezer pop" that they bought from the clinic (there goes my papa's $$ :p).. because all the "colourful drink" reminds me of medicine.. which I take until scare. :(

Through out the 1 whole week when I gotten stomach flu, I stopped my intake of porridge, only drink minimal of milk, water and my mama feed me with porridge water for my lunch and dinner.

So, fever and vomitting stopped after day 2. But loose poo still appears from day 2 till day 7 or 8. (The poo consist of more water than solid poo, maybe because no solid intake and only fluid intake) There after, my poo still overflows but with more semi solid. (sorry ah, if you feel a bit disgusted that my mama keep on describing my poo.. is for her to take note only. hee)

My parents changed my bedsheets, diapers, wipe my buttock until they got phobia. They will be awaken by my "poo sound", then quickly they will jumped out from their bed and changed me. As for me, me too got phobia because after I vomitted, I will cry abit, then my papa and mama will console me.. asked me not to cry.. its ok to vomit as I was sick. When I poo, I will look at both my legs to see whether the poo leaks out a not, once leaks out.. I will freezed and will also cry abit, cos maybe I scared my parents will scold me... but I always got heard my papa and mama consoled me.. "its ok to poo, got poo better than no poo" :p.

Finally, my appetite and drinking pattern back to normal after about 2 weeks. Made my parents so happy. :)

My office at home. :p

Haha, this is me busy chatting on the "phone"! Look what was I holding? It's my papa's laptop mouse :p. I used it as a mobile phone to communicate with my "client". Oh... not to forgot playing with my toy cars also. haha..

Enjoying myself while listening to the campus superstar contestant Marcus singing one of my favorite JJ Lin song. :p

Where are the Fishes?

My papa and mama bought me to a Pet shop located somewhere near Parkway shopping center to watch fishes. This shop has been there for quite sometime.. maybe 3 years or more?

I was so excited, you can hear that I "wah" so many times... like a "swah gu" hor? :p

"Shopping" for toys

Below video was me, "shopping" in one of the toy shops in IMM. I was so engrossed, almost scrutinizing each and every boxes of toy cars/trucks. My papa almost wanted to buy me the box of trucks liao leh, but my mama just carried me away from the shop. Luckily (for my papa and mama), I did cry/or throw tantrum, so hopefully, next time I will behave the same way too. :)

Shaver or Lipstick??

My mama caught me in action again. I was holding her lipstick and imitating my papa shaving his beard! Haha...

My new hair cut.

This time round my papa and mama, they DOWNGRADE my hair trimming session!

They brought me to the barber shop, a shop where my papa had his hair cut. It was my first experience in a barber shop.. guess what.. I started crying the moment the one and only aunty "aim" the hair shaver equipment on my hair! Even though my mama brought along my favorite toy car, but I still cry.. duno why leh.. maybe it was the first time. The previous few time they bought me to "high class salon" to trim my hair, got dvd player in front to distract me, so those few experiences I do not cry.

Pray hard that I behave better the next time I visit the barber shop again. :)


Below is a video of me, not cut hair scene.. but a scene where I was yakking away after getting hold of a pen.. hehe.

My mama see that I behave a bit like Harry Potter? Using the pen as a "magic wand", don't know what I was talking about.. ..

Busy yakking on the phone..

Papa and mama did not know that I can became so excited even though just merely playing with the TV remote control, the "spring part" where batteries were inserted. Can you feel my joy? :)

Dancing round and round

New Dancing Style by Me. "p I was able to say One, Two in mandarin.. "Yi4 Er2 AH".. keke

Update

Halo all.. long time no blog.. why? Because my mama is waiting for my papa to upload photos so that she can blog when she got the time.. so bo bian.. got to wait.

But I got something to tell.. yesterday when my papa and mama was having their dinner.. I joined them.. then my papa keep asking me to call him.. but I simply refused. Guess what then he trying to "test water".. he also asked me to call my mama. I really turn my head to face her and I called her "mama" loud and clear. These really makes my mama's day, she was so happy that I called her instead of papa. haha

Papa, so next time do not ask me to call you, I will call you when I have the urge. :p

18 months old!










I have taken my 18th mth booster jab. My next appointment will be 1/2 year later, instead of 3 years old. Why? Because the doctor told my papa and mama that my motor skills is much better than my language skills, so doctor asking me to go back to check on my language skills.

The doctor asked them why hasn't me started speaking some words.. like car, bus, things like that... even a "cuits" for biscuits is fine according to her, but I did not even say that "cuits" out when I requested biscuits from them. I think I was lazy to learn according to my papa. In fact, I do understand what my parents instructions, but I also not sure why I still do not start talking yet, but only baby talk. :p He was puzzled, because in fact I started calling him long time ago, but few weeks back, I stopped calling him again. Hiaz.. (Papa, I also seldom called mama also leh :p) I also do not know what was the reason. Anyway, the Doctor advised my parents must be perserve in teaching/encouraging me to start speaking instead of them still guessing what I want at my age. So I will see the Doctor again... in 1/2 mths time.

Oh.. my mama has overlooked to update my 17th mth growth progress... nevertheless, here is my 18th mths growth progress. Nothing much also.


Things that I able/like to do:-
I was able to hold my own milk bottle when drinking my milk
I will give myself a pat at the back of my neck when I feel that I am choking while drinking water.. :p
Whenever I able to grab hold of tissue paper, I will use it to wipe my own mouth. Sometime, my grandma also bway tahan me.. she wonder why when I drool, I do not clean my mouth, but when I do not drool, I will use tissue to clean my mouth. haha
I wanted to try self feed, but I guess my parents feel that I am still not ready, thus hesitate to let me try. :p
I was getting used to the water sprinkle that my mama used to bath me, but I was still not able to accept the spinkle spraying directly on my face and head, so currently my mama is still washing my hair like I was new born. :p


My stats at 18mths :
Height: 81 cm (never grow tall leh.. jialat jialat)
Weight: 11.5 kg

My papa snapped some photos of me during the Trial Class at Pat's Schoolhouse at Claymore's road

Trial Class at Pat's Schoolhouse at Claymore's road

This was the 2nd time I attended trial. My papa took a lot of videos..(hope you all don't mind) .. if don't like then just view the slides that will be posted later. Looking from all the videos, somehow my parents think that I enjoyed myself more in outdoor activities and music session than story telling and "painting" session. haha

This video, can see that I was not paying attention to the teacher who was teaching us how to use our index finger to "paint" a caterpilla. I was more interested in playing with the toy car and the marker cap. :p My papa "Shake head".

Me playing Hola Hoop

Shanice and me enjoying ourselves watching the teacher blowing bubbles for us. :)

I was dancing all over the music room...

This video never failed to make my papa laughed, especially at the end of the video I was "penguin walking" according to him. So funny huh? :p

Mama was suprised to see me picked up and returned a toy to Fybie who dropped it while holding onto it. (Mama, I told you I am a helpful boy right? :p) When I saw Fybie trying to pull out a yellow big plastic ball, I helped her to pull it out leh.. hehehe

In this video, somehow I refused to collect the 2 wooden sticks from the teacher when she wanted to lend it to us to play along with the music. Somehow later, I took it from my mama and was happily playing with it until I did not even want to return them to the teacher when she said told us so. I was very mischievous right? :p

Am I singing? I also not sure. But my mama feel that I was more like reciting a poem. :p

Tagged: 10 things that my mama dislike about my papa

Erm.. my mama was tagged by Auntie Selina, this time the topic focus on “10 things my mama dislike about my papa”. My papa is also patiently waiting for my mummy to post. :p My mama was not so “free” for the pass few days since she was busying doing work and uploading some photos. :p Finally, my mama managed to come out with 5 longwinded points after cracking her brain, lot of her brain cells were killed. Haha. (Papa, you heng ah.. so far mama only managed to come out with 5 points. Ranking in random)

1. My papa’s favourite “to do” is to read newspaper, magazines or reading materials while taking his meals. If you ever see him reading the soccer section of the newspaper, that’s it! My mama can never receive immediate attention.. but slower attention from my papa.. My papa’s eye will be glued to the paper for quite sometime. Oh yes, this means my papa is always the last to finish his meals. :p

2. My papa, while laying on the bed, likes to talk to my mama, whenever she was brushing her teeth in the toilet. I wonder why my papa do not know that mama will never hear what he is talking since the bedroom tv set is switch on and his voice will be cover up by the tv set volume and mama’s brushing teeth sound?

3. My papa likes to dilly dally when comes to going out to do small errands, eg. buying lunch. You can hear him asking my mama what she wants to eat, but 5mins later, you will never see my papa leave the house. He is no where to be found, because he went back to the study room to do “sit facing his laptop”, (to do his work), he can wait till 1 hour later then go out of the house to buy.

4. My kiasu mama likes to remind my papa to buy household items for standby use. Most of the time, my papa will not remember where he kept them when my mama ask him for it. Guess what, so from now on whenever he is keeping new stuffs, he will tell my mama where he had kept them, so that when time to dig the stuff out, my mama will be his “brain” (to remind him where he kept it). Even the household items that my grandma placed, my papa does not know where the item was kept, my mama was the one who tell him where to keep this and that. Not to mentioned that my papa has been staying with my grandma for almost 30 over years, where as my mama only stays with my grandma for a few years nia. :p

5. My papa is not a “meow”. Why my mama said so? Because my papa is very choosy about eating fishes that my grandma cooks. He will only eat fishes that don’t have “fishy smell” (according to his nose). Then hor, he will pre-empt my mama not take fish into his rice bowl if he smells the “fishy smell”, so my mama will need to finish the whole fish. He will not eat those so call “lady veges” like ladies finger, brinjal, so my mama will have got no choice to finish up whatever her stomach can fill in order not to waste food. So papa, you should know now why my mama’s tummy has become so big?

While waiting for my papa to foot the dinner bill, my mama caught me wiping my mouth with tissue paper. :p

My papa found a new way of letting me play with the toycar, while I was having my lunch on my stroller. I was laughing happily, but guessed what.. 5 mins after I completed my lunch, I threw up some of my porridge... must be because I giggled too much and did not swallow my porridge properly. So my mama told my papa not to play this game with me again. (But I enjoyed it so much, mama. hiaz)

How I get my name (as in Chinese Character)

My mama is a super blur blur :p, she does not know that she was being tagged until auntie SM told her. I wonder why she was busy but still able to msn her kakis. :p

But then hor, I guessed she does not know how to tag others too! “My mama very gu gu with this kind of gadget leh.” Hiaz. But thanks to auntie SM and auntie Grace.. mummy knows liao.. so:-

How do I get my name? " Let me tell you a story.. long long time ago”.. kekekeke

Actually, my parents get a shi1 fu4, his shop “JEK MENG NAME ANALYSIS CENTER”, (located at Blk 333, kreta Ayer Road #02-16 Tel: 6223 7521, why put add/tel here? cos next time want to use can find from here.. haha) to help me choose a name. Because my 2nd chinese character need to follow my grandpa’s “jia1 pu3”, “got to be “xin1”, so I got no much chinese character name choice to choose. Basically the shi1 fu4 can only help me to choose my 3rd chinese character nia. Hiaz. 

So, the shi1 fu4 has chosen 4 names, “xin1 che4”, “xin1 yang2”, “xin1 han4” and “xin1 da2”.

Initially, my papa short-listed “xin1 che4” and “xin1 yang2”, but mama also like “xin1 han4”.

They did not choose “xin1 da2”, because they scare next time my peers will call me “xin1 da2 chen2”aka Suntec City when I grew up! Luckily, they thought of that. Heng ah!~

So they chosen “Xin1 Yang2” which means “bring happiness to the people around him” this is the only thing my mama remembers. Hiaz.. (Shhh.. actually she checked with papa, cos she totally forgotten. :p).

So, my parents decided to call me “Dong3 Xin1 Yang2”.

Next, my mummy would like to pass on the "baton" to Auntie Sandy, enen's mummy and Auntie Doreen, Fybie's mummy.. :p

My parents bought me my 1st vcd, it's from Sesame Street. I like it very much, I watched it 3 times that day when I frist get to watch it. :p

My Beloved PetPet!~

Oh, don't be mistaken, my papa did not buy me a pet. But, just that he "cheong" to Fairprice and bought me 6 packets of Pet Pet diapers. He told my mama that he will go and buy another 3 packets to keep stock! :p Normally I will finish 1 packet of diapers in 10days, so these 6 pkts can only last me for 2mths+.

Throwing ball, mama caught me throwing ball. :p Hopefully I able to kick the ball and can play soccer with my papa liao. :)

My new hair cut and new toy car. :p

Walking very fast

My days after MMR injection

The nurse told mummy that I may get side effects, like fever only after 7 days later, but I wonder why I so early already got the side effects.

Here are my feeding schedules:-
13 Apr 07 (same day after taking MMR):-
7 pm: No appetite for my dinner
9 pm: Only drank 100ml of milk
910 pm: Got mild fever of 38 deg, so I taken 1 tablet (crushed) of panadol, yucks! :(
430 am: Wake up to fuss
530 am: Mummy let me have my milk as I was hungry. I did not fall back to sleep, I toss and turn in my cot till 7am. :p

14 Apr 07 (2nd day after MMR):-
7 am: Mummy gave me a tub of yoghurt for my breakfast, but I got no appetite, so I did not take even a spoon.
8 am: Took another tablet (crushed) of panadol as still the fever on off coming.. yucks again!
1230 pm: Only ate half bowl of porridge for lunch
4 pm: No appetite for afternoon feed :(
730 pm: Ate a few spoonful of slice fish soup rice
9pm: Drank only 150ml of milk before going to bed
230am : Wake up to drink milk again
730 am: Wake up for morning milk feed
9 am: No appetite for breakfast

My mummy lazy to continue my feeding schedule. :p
So to conclude, I got mild fever after the jab for 1st and 2nd after the jab.
I was not in good mood as I usually does when I went out.
I fuss alot and have no appetite for porridge, milk feed.

But on 3rd day, my fever has gone. Thank god.
But I will still be fussy, and very sticky to my mummy.
My mummy hope I will get back to my cheerful behaviour soon, as she can no longer tahan my nonsense.

21 Apr 07 (9th day after MMR):-
I had developed some rashes on the back of my body. :(
Luckily the rashes disappeared after 3 days.

By the 12th day after MMR:-
I was back to my normal self. :)

At the moment, this is what I like to do when I am at my parents bed. Papa called me an ostrich. :p

Celebrating My Grandma's Birthday

It was a Saturday.. no much activity, as it was raining very heavily after my lunch, so my parents decided to stay at home, they let me take my afternoon nap (I slept from 230pm+ to 5pm) before we head to Suntec City Crystal Jade Restaurant to have dinner with my grandma, Shu1 Shu1, Shen3 Shen1, Gu1 Zhang4, Gu1 Gu1, and my cousins and of course my beloved papa and mama. 23 Apr 07 is my grandma's birthday, we had an early celebration.

Today was Friday the 13th! My mummy has booked an appointment for me, to take my MMR injection at the Jurong Polyclinic. The appointment time was 915am, I was rather happy to walk around the nurse room.. before the injection... I even lay on the floor happily. But after I took the jab, I let out a short scream...

My long lost friend. :p

Today while shopping at IMM, mummy saw her good friend cum ex colleague. Ichel is Aunty Joey's daughter who is borned in 1 Jan 2006, she was the one who helped mummy requested for 1 bean sprout pillow from her aunty for me. :)

These was the 2nd time that we meet, the last time I met Ichel mei mei was when I was abt 2 or 3 mths when she came over to visit me. See, I was so engrossed in playing the sesame street toy at ichel's stroller, that I didn't look at the camera. :p

Colourful Windmill

Me enjoying the colourful windmill that my daddy bought long long time ago. But I seldom get a chance to play with it, because my mummy always think that I don't know how to appreciate it. Because from the way she sees me "torturing" the windmill, she had told my daddy to only let me play it once in a blue moon. :(

Mummy, you see... I am enjoying myself leh....

2nd Pneumococcal Jab
I had my 2nd pneumococcal jab today. This time, the PD who did the 2nd pneumo injection for me was not Dr Winston Ng, he was on leave today. Dr Ho (a lady) did the jab for me. This was the 2nd time I met up with her. Today, at least she look more presentable and not so scary like the 1st time I saw her. Can you imagine she was wearing a big spectacles frame, with a matching green colour suit the other time I saw her? I cried out loud that time the moment I saw her. :p I just give out a loud wail when she injected the jab on me, because I do not like my daddy holding on to me so tight (he was instructed by the PD to hold me tight when doing the jab). After the jab, I just simply wonder around the PD's room while my daddy and mummy carrying on asking her some questions before we were out from the clinic.
~Bye Bye~ pneumococcal jab, no need to take liao since I have completed my doses.. according to my mummy. :p

My stats at 14mths 23days:

3rd Trip to Changi Airport

Today was the last day "shi2 wu3" of Chinese New Year. We came to Changi Airport again. Daddy brought me to airport because the aeroplane viewing gallery at T1 (Terminal 1) would be big enough for me to walk around freely. I enjoyed walking so much even though I have a few falls. Hope my daddy and mummy will give me more chance to walk around in the shopping mall with them then to just letting me sitting in my pram. :p

Gathering at Fybie's place

Today, 14th day of Chinese New Year, Auntie Doreen invited us to her house for a gathering. Thanks for inviting. :)
Daddy took a video clip during the group photo taking. Did you hear someone screaming? That was me ah. :p I even crawled away from my mummy. haha

Singapore Zoo

Today, 7th day of the Chinese New Year and was "ren2 ri4" for everyone, meaning, it was everyone's birthday. Happy Ren Ri to all.

It was my 1st trip to the zoo. (Another outdoor activity I had, daddy and mummy seldom bring me for outdoor activity, but indoor alot, esp shopping centers. :p)
We reached there almost 12noon, so mummy decided to feed me my porridge before we start our journey. It was crowded with people. We saw the lion dance too, but only managed to catch the last part it it when we came out from the zoo around 230pm+. We did not really "tour" the whole zoo as the weather was on off drizzling, but overall was a nice weather as it was not so sunny. We came out early from the zoo, partly because I do not want to sit inside my pram but wanted daddy to carry me out so that I can walk on the ground. We only see polar bear, penguins, snakes, elephant, zebras, parrots, lion, and some "creatures" which mummy cannot remember their names. Overall, I like the trip, hopefully we can come again next time. :)

5th day of CNY

Daddy and mummy took leave, so meaning I can go out with them again!
They bought me to Vivo City for the 3rd time. We still find crowds although it was supposed to be working days for adults, maybe all took leave like my parents.

I had my dinner at the food court of Harbour Front, because I made noise after my dinner, daddy got to carry me out from my pram. I cheong to the coin machine "car" straight away. hehehe.

See me, happily playing with the steering wheel of the snoopy car. Mummy was saying luckily daddy did not insert coin into the machine to make it move, else I may not even want to leave the machine and go home, I was playing inside for almost half an hour and refused to go home. Mummy has got no choice but to carry me out from it, needless to say that I was crying super loud (throwing my tantrum).

Daddy and Mummy, I promised I would not throw tantrum again next time.. you all must bring me to this machine again next time if we ever go to harbourfront again.

Swimming
It was the first time I go for swimming. Finally, I have waited so long for the weather to be good and for my daddy and mummy to bring me for a swim. We went to Mount Faber Safra Club around 4pm+, the pool was not really crowded maybe because it was the 4th day of Cninese New Year. But because it was the first time I went to the swimming pool, it took me about 30mins to warm up. I preferred playing the pool water than dipping myself into the pool. Daddy bought me a float, but I was not really interested to sit inside because I screamed when he tried to put me inside. Too bad, my mummy did not join us in the pool, she only in charge of taking photos/video clips of me. (because she do not know how to swim :p)

After an hour in the pool, I finally get the kick of it. I was enjoying myself inside, I even dragged daddy back to the swimming pool when he say its time to go... so stay there for a few more mins before we left for our dinner at Lot 1. I slept for almost an hour, too tired already. Hopefully, I can perform better in the pool next time. When will my daddy and mummy bring me to the pool again??

Playing water in the pool

CNY Star :p
I felt like a star, because everyone (my cousins) were busy using their parents mobile phones to take pictures of me.

This was the 1st time that I able to "enjoy" the Chinese New Year. Last year during Chinese New Year, I was still a newborn, about 1 or 2 mths+, so still being carrying around by my parents. This year, I was able to walk around and to greet everyone a happy new year. Yeah!

See, my chinese new year clothes bought by my Da4 Yi2 Yi2. Thank you Da4 Yi2. :)
Everyone laughed so much when they see me in it. I wondered was it because I look funny or they just feel that I look cute in the clothe. What do you think? :)

Attending Solemnization

Today, 10 Feb 07. Nothing special.. but my daddy and mummy brought me to attend a solemnization. It was a solemnization of my daddy's collegues, Uncle Matthew and Aunty Yvonne (:p) at Peony Jade Restaurant, Clark Quay. This morning I did not take nap... in fact my parents wanted me to take a nap before bringing me to attend.. but don't know whether was I too excited or what, I refused to sleep.. so they got no choice.. just let me be.
Guessed what, I took my nap when on our way to the resturant. :p Took only about 15mins nap, but was sufficient, better than nothing, at least keep me fresh.

When reached the restaurant, after "PR" for 15mins, mummy decided to start off with feeding me my lunch (porridge) before the ceremony starts. I finished my porridge after the ceremony starts about 10mins. Then after my parents had their 2nd dish, I already too bored to sit on my high chair liao, so daddy no choice carry me out to let me walk around the resturant. My poor parents got to take turns to eat their meals. So I spent my time walking around the resturant through out the whole ceremony. The whole ceremony was completed at 3pm. Then they brought me to Medi-ya supermarket to walk. Then I went to visit my wai4 gong1 and wai4 po2. During the journey to their house, my daddy decided to take a longer route to my grandparents house so that I able to take my nap, so I took a 10mins nap. So I played in their house till 5pm+.. so the record was I did not have much nap today, so tired.

Photos to be update later as daddy and mummy forgotten to take any.. got to wait for Aunty Yvonne provide. :p

"PaPa"
These few days, my pronunciation of "papa" is getting more and more accurate. I will call my papa as and when I like, sometime I will even call my mummy "papa". :p
Whenever I called my daddy "papa", his heart would melt. My mummy always wondered when will I be able to call her mama. I ever called her once, but that was when I was awake during the middle of the night, I called my papa 1st, then followed by calling my mummy... haha.. Hopefully, I will be able to call my mummy, grandma and many many more pple. :)

Trimming my hair for my 2nd Chinese New Year

Today, my parents bought me to Suntec Junior League for a hair cut again. This was the third time I had my hair cut at this shop. Wow! Daddy and mummy were shocked to see so many bbs and their parents waiting patiently for their bbs turn to have their hair trimmed. By the way, we reached there around 3pm... so my mummy took a "lucky number" for my turn, it was no. 49. Hmm.. 10 more bbs to go before my turn, so we went to Carrefour to shop around and returned there in 45 mins time.. phew, finally it was my turn to have my hair trimmed. The aunty took about 20mins to trim my hair. Luckily, I can play with a robot (toys provided by the shop) and watching barney vcd.

Do you like my new hair style? Look more like boy boy already? Earlier on before I had my hair cut, the salon aunty still need to guess my gender leh.. pengz

Before
After

New toy storage box for my toys
This was my new toy storage box, slightly bigger than the previous and it had got wheels! Daddy bought this for me to store all my toys.. The moment I saw it, I pushed the box around the living room, I was a bit pek1 chek2, I do not know why also. But think after my daddy saw me doing this.. he removed all the wheels to prevent me from pushing the box liao. Hiaz.. :(

So bored!! yawnnn....
I am already 13 months+ liao, my mummy still put me inside this exersaucer. Can see in the video that I feel so bored ... but I guessed they just want to let me have a feel of the exersaucer before my daddy going to keep it. Since I no longer need to use it anymore..

Don't disturb
Mummy took this video when I was busy watching one of the 2 female finalist project superstar singing. "See mei2 nui3 no blink eyes" :p

Taking egg yolk
Yesterday and today, my mummy let me try eating 1/2 egg yolk & 1 egg yolk (hard boiled) respectively, taken with my porridge. The reason why she gave me egg yolk was because she heard that when I turn 15mths (in 2 mths time), I will need to take MMR injection (injections again!?!)
So, if let say I was allergy to egg yolk, then they may have to delay letting me take the jab. Luckily, I was offically clear with eating egg yolk. My mummy was so happy, she also hope that I will be able to eat hard boiled egg white and eventually the whole hard boiled egg in near future. So that she can give me more variety (ingredients with egg) to eat. Mummy, please take 1 step at a time. :p

Demonstrating the art of somersaulting
This evening, while I was happily standing on the sofa, giggling away, suddenly I somersaulted and fell onto the floor! Ouch! Luckily my mummy was sitting near me and she somehow managed to catch hold of me on time, thus preventing a "bah lu ku" from appearing on my head. The moment after the somersault, I was a bit shocked.. daddy then kept "scolding" me for not heedling his advice. Hiazz, how do I know i will end up in that way.. Daddy and mummy really hope that I would not do this again.

Practising Walking

2 days before I reach 13 months, I was trying to walk on my own. What I do was that I would stretched out both my hands to balance myself while walking. But don't know why I was caught in action doing "gongxi gongxi", maybe Chinese New Year is just around the corner or maybe because my daddy who was infront of me. haha My daddy and mummy cannot stop laughing whenever they see this video.... so funny huh?




This was another video of me walking... my daddy used his mobile phone to make me walk....

New toy cars from my daddy
Today, my daddy brought out his so called "limited edition" toycars for me to play. He bought those cars from Hong Kong last time when he went there for a holiday. There were 2 taxis, 1 bus and 1 Ferrari! Among them, I like the red Ferrari car the most. See, mummy even caught me drool-ing while playing with it. Aiyo, so pai sey leh. :p



Another video...

I was happily playing with the taxi, then halfway through, I was "eating" the coffee table.. Aiyo, the table so hard leh, I was like testing my teeth patience, checked whether were them as tough as diamonds. :p

It was a public holiday today, my daddy and mummy do not need to work. Yipee, does it mean more gai gai for me

Early this morning, while I was having my breakfast (my mummy feed me with instant oatmeal from nature farm) I saw daddy fixing a huge strange boards between the entrance of the living room and kitchen. Hmm.. what was that for? After I finished eating my oatmeal, I eagerly (making some noise) to ask my mummy to release me from my high chair...

I quickly had a feel of the safety gate, I keep playing peek-a-boo with my mummy when she was in the kitchen cooking my porridge. But not long later, my daddy took out the gate (within 3 hours after it was installed) I do not know what was the reason though. Anyway, I was happy that the gate was not installed, if not I would not be able to roam into the kitchen to explore. :p

Praying my late ye3 ye1
Yesterday was the last day of year 2006. My parents, together with my nai nai, shu shu, shen shen, gu zhang, gu gu and cousins brought me to a temple located in Geylang to offer prayers to my late ye ye.

As it was my first trip there, I kept crawling around the "praying area" to explore. (my daddy got no choice but to let me crawl).. As it was not so nice because I was giggling loud while crawling.. my daddy decided to carry me and put me into my pram.. hiaz...

After the trip we went to IMM for a short while before my parents head back home. I did not want take nap when I was back home because I already had it during the journey back home (In fact my daddy drove to East Coast then drove back to IMM.. in order to let me zzzz) So I only went to bed at 940pm. Who knows I woke my daddy and mummy up at 1150pm... they got no choice but to pat me back to sleep. While I was "going back" to my zzz land, it strucked 12midnight, our house was able to hear the fire works "pop pop pop" sound.. haha..maybe I want to be the 1st one to greet my parents a Happy 2007 New Year!!
