Bright Kid - I want to be!

Image
Mom's plan to put me on cc seems disrupted... Well, at least I will be trained in a more educational environment by qualified mentors; to be able to interact & communicate well with peers; learn to draw, colour, sing, speak & of course play! Another concern of hers is - she does not want me to be too dependent on maid (to stay at home any longer). Knowing me, she thought the best solution to tame is to start early. The society outside - yea... there maybe bad influence as well but there is always a balance of both.. Mom has this belief - Good Manners / 家教 begins from home and comes from one's family background. Haaa... Dad & Mom, you guys do have a heavy responsibility huh ~ Anyway, shall see what's gonna happen next - I may not know what is cc all about. But one thing I know is - Mom is doing everything in my best interests... Mom, 加油哦! A day in Childcare... 7.00am-8.00am - Arrival/ Health Checks and Intergrated play 8.00am - 8.30am - Breakfast Time Consists of

Boring Sleep

Its gonna be a boring video.. Mom just wanna catch a glimpse of the way I sleep by myself in the night... Yeah, am "entertaining" and soothing myself to sleep...

Busy as a bee

Im getting busier nowadays.. to "walk" around the house, roam in & out of the rooms, kitchen... Simply put, I love to be on the ground rather. However, am still not stable to walk down the streets yet. Mom's waiting for this day to come; for an official announcement that " Lil Baby Ray is walking now !".

Happy Birthday, Kor.

Image
Today is my Kor actual birthday... Nice cake to look at from Choz (Parkway) but its a flop, folks! Well anyway, Mom still snapped for some memories... I did not have a chance to eat because it is filled with thick chocoloate coffee... But having a sweet tooth, moment I see the cake, I started to mumbled to myself and asked to be the first to eat... wahhahahaha...

Temper

Image
My "hot temper" inherits from Dad. The strict figure in the family whom most are rather fear of. Honestly, my Dad is really a nice chap if he is not fierce. And me too! Like Mom always tells people - "My son is cute when he does not bawl. When he starts, he's no longer cute." Yes, Mom can see that I will grow up to be a hot-tempered lil chap. She did tried to change, train and teach me to be patient. But seems that am not getting up to it yet. Well, a long way to go but time will pass fast before I turn into a real monster, Mom... When I cry... its filled with anger and impatience, my Gosh. At times with innocence & fear to have Mom on.

Master Fox

Image
Mom dashed to Fox today during lunch - since they are having 50% off right now. I had grown out most of my pants as I really have long legs.. Takes after Mom since her family has the "Tall-genes". To her surprise, I have to wear 2 yr old bottoms to fit. Well, pros & cons of being tall. Just like when Mom was young in School, she would always be the last person at the Queue, be it for Assembly or heading to different class of the day in rows of two. At the same time, its also tough to find tall guys during her time as most boys were short in her school. Nowadays, it is easier to spot taller boys. Guess it really has alot to do with the formula (milk powder) - difference between "the older" and new generation. Now with all the Dha and AA.... we grow to be more intelligent, in other words, cheeky and of course grow "longer"... Ops!

Summer Hat

Image
Not an easy task to snap myself with a hat... Mom took alot of efforts to take this pic of me in Mothercare Bucket. Okay, I do not like to wear hats. Just dun fancy the feel of having something surrounding my head and it makes me feel warm. But nowadays weather is unpredictable. Sometimes it can get extremely hot out there. So Mom makes it a point for me to wear a bucket like that keep away the shine and heat.

New Jersey

Yee Yee bought a "England" Jersey& shorts for me from her Bangkok Shopping Spree. Uhmmm, size is kinda big but cute though... Mom captured this nice moment of it at Por Por house... Does this video also mean I can walk by myself with less assistance now?

Ride with Javier

Image
A late morning with Javier & Aunty Sammi; we had brunch and took a quick shop. Kor-kor Javier loves to sit on the "model car" where you have to insert a dollar coin, in order for it to rock to-and-fro, left-to-right with sounds. The sad thing is Mom dun allow me to have such fun ride. How I envy Kor-Kor Javier... Aunty Sammi, can you be my Godma then?

Busy Poppin' balls

Image
This is a nice toy by Playskool. Mom tried it out with me and indeed fun! I am fascinated with the popping balls but I enjoyed more by throwing the balls out to the floor. She had a hard time picking the balls up.. Hiak hiak hiak... This was a gift from Jie Jie Shannon. Its a perfect gift - I would say.

Time for bed

Image
Putting me to sleep is a daily challenge for Mom. If I am good, I will doze off in minutes... If Im nasty (kekeke), I will not even sleep after an hour of hoaxing. Well, thats called baby privileges. Even if a baby makes a big mistake (since still a baby); nobody will scold a baby right? But Mom has been scolding me though. Duhhh.. But I seem to grow immune to her scoldings very soon. The strict figure will be my Dad - whom is still my "tamer"...

Made my mark

Image
I knocked myself to the table last weekend at Porpor place... its painful and left the 1st MARK on my face. Well, I have to say I brought it upon myself as I like to knock here and there... and do not seem to have a sense of danger yet (as of now)... The best part is - blueblack on babies are somewat cute especially so on the face >>

Shakelogy

Now I shake my head meaningful... When I shake my head; I do mean "NO" or "I DUN WANT". Sometimes of course, I did it on purpose my amuse Mom and my maid...

Key to success

Image
Tomorrow's my 14th month not long, I am picking up every single action from Mom & Dad well. Look, this is just 1 of the imitations I had for now. Well, no doubt not opening the real door yet. Mom believes for every key to success; patience & perseverance have always been the key words.

Upgrade

Image
Whenever Dad & Mom are having their dinner; I will bawl; just because I want to sit beside them. Obviously I cannot yet so I still have to stick to my highchair - which I dun really fancy. When am I gonna upgrade to a "chair"? Yes, a chair of my own where I do not need to be tied by "buckle belts". Mom did thought of getting a table set from Little Tikes but the idea was put off for now. As it is, the house is full of my stuffs.. Probably when Im older; she may consider again.

Greedy

Image
Just my habit - I love to eat 1 and hold another at the same time.. Cookies is my fav snack. Seems to inherit from both Mom & Dad whom are die-hard fans of cookies... Well, my Dad is a baker at home. So next time round, am gonna show you some pics of his efforts.

Can I, durian?

Image
-Quoted- Like eating vanilla custard in a latrine; its odour is best described as pig-shit, turpentine & onions, garnished wz a gym sock. -Unquoted- Just to share some nice pics extracted from net. Didnt know durian flowers are so beautiful... Loads of durians on sale... How about this? Another version of "durian" Check out - The Esplanade Theatre on the Bay in Singapore Durian - 1 of Mom's fav. Dad doesnt fancy and basically all whom bear the same surname in this family. Mom wants me to be in her team - to indulge the nice savory durians together in future. Well, of cos Dad did not like the idea and did not allow me to have my 1st taste today. He claimed its rather heaty and should only eat the "soft pastry skin". Duhhh... There goes my durian puffs... "Lame excuse, Dad."

Corn flakes

Image
Mom had been very tempted to buy kellogg's cereals for me.. she eventually relented. After a few mouthfuls, I shook my head to give a disgusted look. Well, this habit had became a norm whenever a new food is introduced to me.

No, not barney

Image
Barney is my best friend - Javier's fav playmate.. and is almost every child's as well.. But errm, I do not really fancy however; do not mind to have a popular character appear in my diary. Out of the blue; Mom found a brand new Fisher-Price Barney Safety Song Driver in our Storeroom. Seems to be a gift from someone to "someone" ages ago, brand new unopened. Apparently left by my Grandma here and since its for no-one now, Mom decided to take it out for me.. Something to explore and learn vocally...

Natural pacifier

Image
Up till now; I am not using any pacifier.. Not sure if this is something to be proud of or probably a start of another worry. As I do not use pacifier; my lower lip becomes its substitute. Whenever Im too engrossed or before I sleep, am sure to suck it real hard. Seems like a self-comfort other than my dearest bolster. Mom had been reminding me not to and even pull out my lip. Well, of cos its tough not to. The best consolation is - it does not happen all the day long. Sometimes I do forget to use my "natural pacifier" for a long period of time. Hopefully, it will not pose a long-term problem for me as I grow.

Rose

Image
Looks like.. m gonna miss the Roses... After searching high & low; up & down, in & out... apparently some problems encountered at "some country" customs that the supplies stopped abruptly. Well, guess we have to stick to juices and there goes my Rose Hip Syrup. Rose Hip is very high in Vitamin C but somehow high in sugar content. The "hairy seeds" found in the fruit may cause some itchiness if they are not removed properly... DUH...

Gerber vs Heinz

Image
Mom used to buy a bottle of Heinz Baby Apple Fruit Juice weekly to have a mixture of juices, vitaminised water (Yes, Rose Hip... which is now OOS!) and plain water throughout the week. Since now we are missing rose; we have to get a big bottle of Heinz instead of the mini size jar. We ended up with Heinz 1 Ltr Apple+Blackcurrent which I cannot bring myself to drink as its kinda sour. But, Mom likes it though. She ended up finishing the whole 1 ltr Heinz herself, duh... Fortunately enough, AUNTY SAMMI ( yes, if you are reading now, Mom's glad to have you ) bot 4 big bottles of Gerber Apple Juice during last month's Motherhood Fair. So she gave a bottle to Mom for SOS. Uhmm, pretty sweet so have to add alot of water, but honestly a good alternative. After dilution ~

Drinking session

Image
Still trying to hold my bottle no doubt already way past 13mths+. Face it - Mom, Dad, maid; you guys spoil me. Dad used to say to Mom, "Take things slow, as eventually they will drink from their own personalised cups before you know it... " Whenever Im given my bottle; I rather drip the milk/water onto the (highchair) tray... Simply put, I find it more like a fun time to drink by myself because, I will laugh and smile to Mommy after I take the nipple out from my mouth.

Green Waffle

Image
The name says it - Mom's usual breakfast before she starts work for the day... I had my first taste of waffle today... The color Green did not chase me off though. I love the taste of it wz a pinch of peanut butter.
