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

1st Sesame Street VCD

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

My days after MMR injection

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 :(

9pm: Drank only 150ml of milk before going to bed
230am : Wake up to drink milk again

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

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....
