I Love Daddy !

Grinning Happily & Posing in my new sleep suit, "I love Dad!"

Thought I can show off my new sleepwear to Daddy last night but by the time he came home late again, I was already fast asleep.

Yesterday, I reached my 27th month old. We are touched that Godma Flo still remembers my special day and sending me her wishing. My parents even forgot about it as now they are counting my age by years ever since I hit 2 yrs old.

As an update on myself, now I weigh 14.6 - 15 kg, height is around 94 - 96 cm. Hmm... does my weight consider ideal or more on the plus side? We do not know much of other tots of my age is now weighing. Many ppls commented that I look tall... maybe this area I took after my Daddy's gene.

Ever since I stopped going to daily playgroup, Mummy worried that I have too much free time to laze at home and learning nothing. She tries her utmost to self taught me some new words esp Chinese and doing some activities together in the morn.

I yet to start on my toilet training.. this is getting on Mummy's nerve. As I still cannot tell her timely as though I not that aware of my nature needs. I already wearing sz XL diaper and hope to be toilet trained asap. Recently, we as whole family has been sick with cough and flu bugs, hence delaying my training.

Since beginning of this year, I've fallen sick pretty much often. Not only that, Mummy also hates to fall sick together with me. This makes her weak esp taking care of sickly me who demand more of her time and attention. Daddy also down with cough for a long time and he be leaving for Melbourne work trip this sun. Hope prior to his trip, he can recover soon!

As for me, I just went to see DR LEE this morn. Last night, I keep waking up and coughing badly. This morning has slight fever and flu, coughing badly as well. So Mummy brought me to see doc to ensure I be given some medication for me to recover soon. Maybe I'm sick, keep refusing milk and food. Just as Mummy is recovering from her cough & throat infection this week, then now my turn to fall sick! URRRRGGGG!! All of us seems to be taking turn to fall sick.

My only wish now is for us, whole family BE Healthy Always!

My Yummy Pasta Dinner

Pasta Dinner !!!
this has been my dinner for the past few days!

Mummy has been experimenting different type of stir fry pasta for my meals, to test out my response. The fun part is that I can get to choose the pasta shapes I like to have, for my dinner. Hmmm.... sometimes the pasta dish is either like western or japanese taste depend on which type of ingredients that Mummy has whipped up!

Another good thing is that I finished my pasta dinner faster than rice, hot porridge / mee sua.
Way to go!!! Ho Ho Ho!

My 2nd Happy ZOO Outing!!!

Today, I had a FUN outing....
Mummy brought me to ZOO together with Godma Flo, Godma San & lil Jerral!

Our Happy look before we left our home..
to meet others at AMK bus interchange at 8.30 am.

(while waiting for Godma San & Jerral's arrival)

And that is my CHEEKY POSE!!!

We took bus no 138 from the interchange to reach ZOO!!
it is about 25-30 min bus ride.


This is my 2nd visit to ZOO, I'm more aware of the animals and surroundings. Since I'm quite familiar with the few animals that I been seeing on my flashcards and videos. I keep telling Mummy & Godma(s) that I want to see MONKEY, TIGER, GIRAFFE, LION, TEDDY BEAR (aka Polar Bears), HORSE, SHEEP!!!

The adults have to study the map & ensure to bring me to see the animals that I WANT TO SEE!!! Besides, we also visited HIPPO, KANGEROO, OSTRICH, MINI PONIES, GOATS, OTTER, SNAKES, DEERS, RACOONS, ZEBRAS and guess that is all.

Today is indeed a hot and humid day for outing but we do enjoy the trip very much!

Our 1st stop ~Warthogs



Jerral and I watching the animals closely !

Happy trios posing for CAMERA!!! Say CHEESE!

I cant see clearly with my shades on! Hee

A group of AUSSIE Kangeroos

the only group pic we had
*sans Godma Flo. a pity!

Actually, I was the one who keep insisting wanting to feed the kanga.
After paying $5 for the feeding session, I was thrilled to feed them. But once they start coming so near to me, I'm actually scared of them and refused to feed or touch them at all. In the end, Mummy and Godma Flo n lil Jerral are doing the feeding.

A quick snapshot of my Bento#7 for my lunch
~a simple one prepared by Mummy this morn

Look at my glum expression!
The weather is so hot and making me so sweaty and sticky!

Our last pose of the DAY!!!
We reached the ZOO at 10 am and left the place by 4.30pm.
After having such a long hot day, Mummy decided to treat ourselves by taking cab home.


P/S : Many thanks to Godma Flo for preparing the adults's breakfast & lunch meal/snacks!!

Happy Valentine Day! (belated post)

In regards to our belated post ...
coz our PC broke down yesterday & Daddy is still in the midst of 'saving' it.
likes to apologise for lack of posting from tomor onwards maybe..
till our PC fully recover then.

My Happy Valentine Bento (Lunch set) ~#6
consists of transportation pasta, seafood tofu, steam fish with tomato & parmesan cheese in pooh furikake bottle

Yesterday noon, I had a trial class at JG for Edu-Drama (English) which is an 1 hr session (parent accompanied). Mummy specially prepared above bento for my lunch. During the class, I did enjoy myself too and it is indeed slightly different from my Bilingual class. Anyway, my parents found this class is much better as hoping I can learn more from older friends, to learn to express myself better & confident in front of others.

So after my class, Mummy has a long discussion with the front desk to change my current class to EduDrama starting from next wk onwards. On top of that, Daddy also agreed to sign me up for additional Chinese EduDrama class for next 4 lessons to see how I fare. Coz my current spoken vocab in Mandarin is quite limited.. so they hope I can brush up on my spoken Chinese as well as understanding.

So my class schedule for next SAT onwards will be changed to :
EduDrama (English) : 3pm - 4pm
EduDrama (Chinese) : 4pm - 5pm


Hope the timing will not clash with my napping time in the pm.
Mummy has put me on the waiting list for morn session for next term onwards. Hope there is a vacancy for me.

This is the artwork that I did in the trial class today!
My Valentine 'Heart' from me to my dearest parents!!!!


The main reason for prompting my parents to change my current class as they found that I too used to the routine of the lesson since I've been with the Playclub for 2.5 term. They strongly feel it is time for me to move up to Drama class & mixing with older kids.

Besides, the Bilingual class also has a change of teaching format this term, resulting in a bigger class with 17-18 students. There are few factors which my parents do not like., mainly is the noise pollution. Oops coz everytime during the class since day 1, there are 4 - 5 same kids who keep taking turn to cry and howl loudly. The crying usually last 1.5 hr out of 2hr lesson. This is very hard for the rest of the kiddos who are trying hard to focus and listen to what teacher are teaching.

We feel that if the kid persist in crying more than 15 min, the teacher should ask the parent nicely to bring the child out to settle him instead of disturbing the whole class. But everytime the teacher(s) did not do so. We feel somehow the teachers are too 'soft' & not as firm as teacher Pix & their teaching standard sort of 'dropped'.

P/S: My parents had also withdrawn me from my daily playgroup, TalentPlus since Feb onwards. The main reason is that I keep getting sick nearly every end of each wk. Guess my immunse system is not as strong as I look physically. Each time, my parent(s) ask me which school I prefer, I would say out aloud witout thinking, "Örchard school"!!! So that comes to their final decision to withdraw me from school.

CNY Gathering @ our Place, 8 Feb '09

Today afternoon, we've invited all my Godma(s), Andy Gor Gor & Lil Jerral over our place for CNY gathering.

I was so happy to see lil Jerral ..
did not let him out of my sight...
we've had a fun time playing together
I was showing so much affection to him..

E.g (1): at a time, I keep holding onto his water bottle & asking him
to drink it
E.g (2): if I drinking milk, I would keep asking mummy to make one
for him to drink
E.g (3): even I want to nap, I will also ask Jerral to nap together
beside me
E.g (4): even he was going back with Godma, I cried and want to
go home with him too.

Guess I really growing attached to him just like a strong bond as I now understand what is a god brother means to me & I treasure a lot on our 'sibling-hood'. I will miss him badly when he and godma return back to aussie.

The rest of the adults are also having so much fun, mingling with others while enjoying the food and playing the WII together. Hope we will have more of such gathering in near future.

Sharing some of our happy pics! ^_^

P/S: Many thanks to everyone for your coming and food contribution. Muacks!!
