Hello (phone)

Image
Whenever the phone rings; I will say "HELLO!" to myself and runs to pick up the phone. So, at the end of the day, I will pass the phone back to an adult -- whoever at home. Sounds funny but I like to hear phones ringing.. I even mis-took gadgets as phones, said hello to it and chat on the phone as if discussing something important. Sometimes, I will end up walking the whole house as if doing some big business. I have difficulty access to Mom & Dad's Handphones... So House phone will be my only choice.

Expression

Image
While I was waiting for my food to be served, I rest my face on both my hands... This is a cute shot which Mom took and cyring out loud to herself --- I am really growing up now, I have all sorts of facial expressions, am able to express somewhat my likes & dislikes. On the contrary; being able to express my needs & wants may also mean Im getting more fussy. A challenge for mom and sometimes does gets on her nerves... She became very fierce to me nowadays... due to my mischievousness

Sing Birthday SONG

Image
Its Kor-kor's birthday... We had a cake for him and just when all the others gonna sing Birthday Song for this birthday Boy; I SING instead. Everyone was shocked, including my maid. Birthday boy was touched of course... So for a moment we wondered why... So, came to realised I had "attended" so many birthday parties in school; to the extend that I can know what to expect and sing when the birthday cake lits up! Wonderful eh.

Big Eater

Image
Nowadays, Im a dangerously huge eater... I started not to eat rice till I finished all my favorite foods. Like today, I had honey eggy cakes & cherries. I was overjoyed at the food... besides, I will make some noise to Mommy to get some extra milk cookies. The only way to make give in is to yell at the top of my voice. She does doesnot like to hear my shouts, as it makes her vexed somehow. Im gettin older now. In the past, she can still trick me but now, I'll bawl & make an extreme big fuss. So now, she tries to talk sense, logic; reason with me. Sometimes, I listen, sometimes I act blur. Well, surprisingly, my maid does know how to handle me since the day Mom taught her to explain things to me patiently. Her patience is much better than Mom's... Aww...

DIY ~ wear pants

I attempted to wear my own pants... mission failed twice. Well errrm, I did succeeded once few days ago but Mom didn't have a glimpse of how I did it. Actually, I had been trying to do alot of things on my own. Mom had some article on being over-protective over babies/toddlers which will eventually lead to dependence on parents... So, kids have to get up from a fall by themslves, then they will know they should not "race" when they're not allowed to. They will learn from mistakes.. Momwill had adopted this idea.

Bad tantrums...

Image
My tantrums are getting bad nowadays. I will use shout, beat...etc to get my wants. So, Mom has made me stand one corner - to cry by myself. Somehow, I know its a form of punishment, because I have the same treatment in school. Well, the person whom Im most afraid of is Ms Mas... my principle.

Naughty look

Image
Por-por brought some of my snapshots to "show off" to our relatives... All of them commented -- I have a very mischievious look but yet looks smart. Well, Mom laughed at it. Smart or not, too early to tell but talk about mischievious, she agrees readily. This is one of the shots...

Do-not-disturb

Image
If Im very engrossed in doing some things by myself, I'll not allow any disturbances. I'll either hit the person, push him/her away or scold them. Thats how I behave in school... but of course, I still continue to disturb others but not the other way round. Good & bad. A snapshot of myself trying to fix some stuffs up...

Deep fried foods

Image
Wow, deep fried foods are my hot fav now. But of course since its unhealthy, Mom will trick me by putting a tiny bit of the skin (fried) on top of my rice, then I'll eat. Nowadays, Im forbidden to eat by myself since my mischievious acts. No more bland porridge or plain veggie. Im basically looking forward to tasty foods every dinnertime. I even bid farewell (refused to eat) to baby biscuits except those really nice butter cookies. BIG headache but also a relief! No more separate preparation of my foods/meals anymore. So no hassles. Again, another part & parcel of growing up.

No highchair

Image
Sometimes, I refused to sit on highchair. So, I either sit beside Mom or on her lap. Last resort will be on the floor but only for snacks. Well, really have to say, Im growing up; evntually I will grow out of it/them. Part & parcel, but Mom will still try to put me on highchair especially during dinnertime. Otherwise, she'll never have a peaceful time.

Old & new bolster cover

Image
There's just this irresistable smell on my bolster that bonds myself with it. Instead of growing attached to Mom, Im seems more attached to my bolster AKA "BoBo". I'll rather lay the old bolster cover (supposed to be washed)on my pillow & hold the bolster wz new cover... than to have the old smelly one in the laundry bag. Mixture of my smell, talc powder, some perspiration, tint of milky smell (I used to clean my face/neck if milk spills abit out while drinking)...will make up this special smell of my bolster
It has been some time since Mom's last updates. Somehow, she was rather stressed up with her growing-up toddler (that is me!) and some unimportant issues surrounding her. Well, she decides to cast them all aside to put her concentration on me instead. Honestly, it should be quite easy to look after me as per what my school teachers all claimed to be... but after some time now, chinese teacher complaint that am getting naughtier. Things like I'll take out the toys from the toy box while she's trying to pack... I refused to change diaper after I poo. After making a big fuss to ask teacher to make milk, I refused to drink... At home, I began to split saliva (didnt do tis in school though)... The only consolation is, I am able to eat by myself... BUT, I'l ether split out the food onto thefloor or throw them on my tray/floor when Im full. Really independent, perhaps more towards to the playful. I just cant stop playing.

CL Grand-daughter 1st Year Birthday

Image
Today, we went to Mom's CL (Confinement Lady) grand-daughter's 1st Year Birthday. We didnt stay until cake-cutting as Mom was not feeling quite well this few days. So, we stayed a while, played with her 2 dogs.... and of course little Mei-Mei; her name is Vannessa. Mom thought Vannessa has a very cute little chubby face. Looks pretty & photogenic. If Mom is to have a little Mei-Mei (younger sister) for me, she thought to herself, "I will surely go broke!" She bought a nice French Style Cardigan for Little Vannessa as a gift. It looks chic & classic. If its for my mei-mei, wow!! I can imagine her wardrobe will thrice or perhaps 4 times bigger than mine. My encounter with 2 little dogs --- I was terrified at first but cast the fear away after some time. But of course, I still do not like the idea of them licking all over my feet though. I kicked them both away. As with Vannessa, I wanted to trade in my water bottle for her cute Toy. She agreed but later went bac

Read before sleep

Image
A nice habit - bedtime stories... Uhm, but not that I can concentrate well nor able to understand the whole story... But its so soothing to have Mom read aloud to me and myself nodding my head to acknowledge her reading, I looked as though I understand what she is trying to say though... this action of mine had amused Mom very much, just that she failed to video them down. Anyway, hope its really a good start but problem is, once myself starts reading (which I did it just now with Mom as she reads), I refused to stop & detest to sleep. This is the Biggest Headache for now. How is Mom gonna make me sleep then? Cultivating a good habit of "Read-Before-You-Sleep" is good. But Mommy has to use coercion in order to make me sleep thereafter; she does not feel good at all. Another issue to crack head about..

Sit to drink milk

Image
Lying down to drink milk.... a year ago. Time passes and now I started to sit up or even walk about as I drink my milk. Perhaps as I grow older, I want to just be like Mom & Dad. They do not lie down to drink right? So, same goes for me yo!

TCM works!

Image
A good cough mixture which Mom would like to share with all Mommies . Previously because of my bad cough with thick yellow phlegm; Mom had been feeling very terrible and had been seeking alternatives since it didnt get better even with so much of Doc's cough mixture, lung tonics, etc. She decides to heed Porpor & Yee-Yee's advice to try on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). As she stepped into her usual Chinese Medicine Hall; her heart was heavy as she was worried that TCM may not suit me afterall. Because, not every child is able to take TCM well. However, she still give it a try and ask for some recommended cough mixture. Here you go; Almond Flavour with Cordyceps which seems to have known good effects for thick phlegm. And yes, it cured my cough somehow after about 2 weeks of usage. Im supposed to take thrice a day. But since its my first time, I only took twice a day with 10ml each time. And because worried about being heaty, Mom had urged me to drink lots of water. So
