Hello Kitty Backpack

Image
Hello Kitty Wave! Now, Mom is already planning to buy a HK Backpack for Mei Mei. This will be for her to bring to Playgroup once she reaches about 18-24 months old. Well, at first we saw one at the forum but realised it was a replica... So Mom decided to drop the orders. She chanced upon this websites - How to spot a Fake Hello Kitty... 1st Link / 2nd Link They are the same type of directions on how to notice the differences between a real & a fake. Well, Mom decided not to buy first. Perhaps she may order from Sanrio online - cheaper or wait till Yee Yee goes Japan, and get her to buy from Japan instead! This little bag below looks really cute though...

New Water Bottle

Image
There are so many umpteen & several times that I changed my water bottles... Reasons Given: * My Friend took my water bottle & throw on the floor * My Friend took out the straw & break it * My Friend swing my water bottle * My Friend plays my water bottle, its not me! * My Friend breaks the strap Noticed all the "My Friend..." Yes, I will just pushed the blame all to my friends in the school. Mom tackled this intelligently by telling me this - " If you spoil the water bottle again, you will not bring any water bottle to school. All your CHILDREN (I refer my class/schoolmates as my Children, as imitating from the way my teacher speaks) will LAUGH at you, saying you dont have water bottle ." Well, now I have a new water bottle by Smash. Very close to the Nike one which Daddy has; same mechanism. Why Mom buy this; :: No straw, so no excuse to spoil the straw :: No strap, so no excuse to break the strap :: Bottle rigid enough, won...

My CNY Gift!

Image
Ok, now its my TURN! Mom bought a "Bullet Train" with Track for me! Wow, I love this very much! This evening, I am going over to Po Po house to stay overnight. So I brought this wonderful gift along with me. I even asked a silly question, "Mommy, I will bring this to Po Po house to play. And I will bring back home again on Sunday, Okay?". Excitedly, I opened up the box and play with Po Po when we reached her place at about 7plus. Mom gotta leave me with Po Po, because she is gonna attend some fancy dinner with Daddy (again)... Yes, one of those CNY stuff again. Anyway, I enjoyed staying at Po Po house. Some quality time finally with Po Po, without Mei Mei around, without Yee Yee & Yee Cheong (They left for Taipei for holiday since Thu 26Jan!). As usual, Po Po always tell Mom - "Dont worry, your son is always very well-behaved when he is with me alone, without you HOR." **Sigh** Yes, I only bully Mommy.

Mei Mei CNY Gift

Image
Today's is my Mom's off day. She is just too tired to go to work. 2 days of travelling here and there was honestly very tiring. Somehow, it sounded like a chore but myself & mei mei are really really tired. We knocked-out the moment we hit the bed after come back from outdoors. 2nd day of CNY, Mei Mei didnt follow us in the night. We want to let her sleep properly and early since she is still young. Relatives kept asking but we didnt BOTHER. Mom was looking at some Baby Blocks! This inspired Mom because the other day, Mei Mei was very excited when she saw me playing with Lego. At first, Mom wanted to buy Lego for Mei Mei. But Daddy said, she is still too young for it. Hey, look at how adorable & sweet they are! Oooh, Mom cannot resist man! But again, stopped by our kind Daddy... ^-^ Daddy claimed - This mega blocks is for 3 Years Old & Above ! Now, Mom ended up with these shapes thingy - which is equally good as well. This is for below 12months old. So, thi...

2nd Day of CNY

Image
As usual there is not much thing to blog about during Chinese New Year 1st Day. Its just all about visiting and visiting. Best part is; I was asked to greet my Grandmother (Daddy's Mother) once and thereafter the 2nd time because she "cannot hear me". First; it happened when we arrived their house. Second; it happened again when we were leaving their home. This episode happened during EVE of CNY. Well, what a good start for CNY. 1st Day of CNY itself, it was also Mom's actual birth date. She received numerous birthday greetings on a Chinese New Year Day via Facebook, SMS, Whatsapp Messages... Luckily all these greetings had made her day kinda wonderful at the beginning. She wants to thank everyone! The only People whom never wished her, of course we all know who. But nevertheless, she is not hard up for them. Let's hope Chinese New Year be over soon! I wore a shirt with a small tie. Mei Mei wore her Cheongsame of course! Look, she is starting to learn to stand...

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Image
Today is Mommy's birthday! And I want to wish her to have the best of everything in her life. She has 辛苦了小半辈子了。(In English it meant - she had a hard life in most of her years of life)... Really hope that she will have a better life from now onwards. I know Mommy still loves me the most, dotes on me the most. I will try not to make her more angry each day... thats her birthday wish. And that I will be a more tamed boy. I love you forever Mommy! Anyway, we bought a very nice Napoleon Cake from Rive Gauche this year for Mom. As usual, I love to eat the cakes. Uhmmm, this is a very yummy cake. The taste is almost the same as the one we had eaten back in Taipei last November 2011. This simple pastry shop is just downstairs of our Hotel in Taipei. This Napoleon Cake is made of 3 layers of French Style puff pastry with a layer of soft sponge & freshly whipped cream with Sliced Strawberries. The strawberries are very fresh. Cream has a tinge of sweet taste and the icing sugar m...

Happy Lunar New Year 2012!

GONG XI GONG XI!!! Our Ang Pow this Year X 2! Its our first Year of Chinese Lunar New Year with Mei Mei!

My CNY suit too BIG~

Image
Oh my... I wanted to wear the nice Disneyland-Shirt that was bought by our thoughful neighbor. But it ended up too big for me. I was like swimming in it... I will be wearing Maxkool Shirt instead. Actually Mom bought this shirt a year plus ago. But I didnt want to wear it due to some unknown reasons.. But Daddy managed to convince me to wear it on the 1st day of Chinese New Year! This shirt will be toppled off with my Mothercare Jeans. I simply love jeans as they are so comfortable. For now I only have 2 pair of long pants... 1 khaki pants from Crocs and 1 pair of jeans from Mothercare. So far so good. I didnt request any more bottoms and even tops. Well, this looks good because I "looked like" one of the those types that would not pester Mommy to buy new clothes for me. I would just wear the same type of shirt every now and then or every weekend to Po Po. Only recently, Mom started to break the "same shirt rule" and I started to wear different types of shi...

Mei's Rufflebutts

Image
Just a few days ago, Mom decided to get Rufflebutts from her 1st Day CNY instead of doing last min window shopping again. Nowadays, she is very tired in the CNY preparations and workloads that she had in the company as well. Poor Mom always ended up sleeping at 2am or if not even later than that. Why did she end up with this decision on Rufflebutts because she finds the "butt" fluffy very cute and suits Mei Mei alot... LOL. She bought the same combination below with a simple top. Pictures all derived from RuffleButts Official Website

Zara Hello Kitty Socks

Image
Mom just simply cannot resist but to return back to her girlish state... Hahahaa... The other day when she was at Vivo, she entered Zara Baby actually to look for Mei Mei's dress but ended up with her own loots and, Mei Mei's SOCKS! Hello Kitty Socks!... They are just too cute not to buy and, it is not easy to find something like that, plain and yet cute enough to make Mommy picked them up & head to the cashier. Nice little socks and plan to let me wear during CNY Eve. Hello Kitty wave is indeed back and Mom is doing Kitty Collection from MacDonald these few weeks!

Mei's cutie scene

This is such an adorable scene of Mei Mei picking up her pacifier to put in her mouth. So cute. These are just one of the sweetest moments of Mei Mei. We hope to capture more so that she can always see back how she was like when she was very much younger. Talking about this, Mom plans to let me see back all my baby photos and videos as well. I guess we will all laugh to our bottoms. Because I was so cute... Haha.

Mei Mei's stained blouse!

Image
Honestly, this is really gross man! Our maid did not look after Mei Mei well. Actually she not cut off to be domestic worker because she has no flair for cleanliness and basically, she has no experience in babycare nor housework. At the end of the day, we being employer is also partly responsible for this outcome. This is because of milk stains & saliva which were not washed immediately and being left for days to dry up and bacteria to multiply. Mom has since done a bleach on the blouse. Now, it looks so much better. But again, she was really disappointed with this maid. She is so far ok in looking after ilyse in one manner. And that is, didnt allow ME to bully Mei Mei or snatch toys with Mei Mei. Apart from this, Mom cannot see any other plus points in this maid. Now, we are waiting for our new maid to come in Feb. Hopefully new maid would be here after Mom's annual sales meeting trip from Jakarta.

Mei 1st-Year Bash Prep III

Image
***BIRTHDAY DRESS*** After so much of hesitation and homework, we finally settled down with this dress... a nice Dress from GAP Inc. Mom wanted to buy from the online spree. But no more stocks online. So no choice but to head down to Wisma Atria Gap Store to get one off the shelf. At the store itself, Daddy was complaining the workmanship is bad and sewing wasnt fantastic blah blah & blah blah... ***Sigh***, that is Daddy. Forever so fussy. But still we managed to find one best out of the many worst. But honestly, Mom finds it perfectly fine. Who would want to see the fine lines on a small little girl's dress then? Well, our little princess dress is just settled in minutes. Total Damage SGD 49.00 excluding carpark charges during a weekend at Orchard Road... LOL Mom is very satisfied with the dress. So far, this is one of the sweetest. She did try her luck at Zara Baby, Pumpkin Patch, Bloom, Ralph Lauren Baby, the dresses are either too "mature" for this...

Toastbox & YaKun! Yummy!!

Image
  Mom introduced BREAD to me, nice breads actually. I didnt fancy bread in the past. But only didnt mind plain brown bread. Now, I started to like cheese toast, butter sugar toast. Uhmmm, Yummy! During the month of Dec, Mom brought me out to spend some quality time with me. We had toasts at Yakun, Toastbox..., I love them all. Nowadays, it becomes easier when I am outside with Mom or both Mom & Dad. I started to eat rice, noodles and sometimes toasts. Of course, my favorite is still MACDONALD HAPPY MEAL! Even when I am at home, I will ask for bread with butter and of course sugar. Mom didnt allow TOAST of course because it is too heaty. She will allow cheese bread or butter sugar bread (on brown bread of course only) at home. The consoling part is, I even requested to bring one set to school. I am a bread-lover for now!

Like Daddy or Mommy?

Image
My looks changing... Everyone used to say I looked like Mommy when I was a baby. Then as I grew, they say I look like Daddy. Now, they said I look more and more like Mommy. One thing has never changed throughout these 4 years plus and that is my eyes. My eyes look exactly like Mom's. Well, not very big eyes with single eyelid originally folded in; look like single eyelids. Now, my eyes have double eyelids... So weird. Mei Mei also have double eyelids... Apparently, Daddy is single eyelid. Just that now that he is getting older, the skin started to sag and turn to "double lids". Thats his philosophy.

My GAP Cap

Image
Do I look like a Japanese Tourist or Korean Kid? One of Mom's colleague had bought it directly from San Francisco for me. She likes me very much and also hope to have a kid very soon, .... like me. She often commented that I had a very cheeky face. Well, when Mom talks about this colleague, she is very new in the company but did not make it for her 3-month probation. She is one of the nicest colleague whom Mom had met. Now, she has to leave the company, Mom really feel upset about it. I guess and hope that Mom will be able to swallow back her tears on her last day 31Jan. Throughout these 3months plus, Mom had spent a reasonable time in teaching her, imparting some "skills" to her. But it ended up... Anyway, hope Mom is able to let go this and of course they can still remain as friends even though they have no fate to be colleagues. Best part is; she is a Malay. But a modern Malay. I can say, Mom is never racist and that is also because she always put in a lot of "f...

Mei 1st-Year Bash Prep II

Image
***CUPCAKES*** Cupcakes will be another highlight during Mei Mei's party. Mom searched high & low and emails and emails...  FINDINGS ... Cupcake Mama is unable to make it because she is full during the month of March. Pine Garden does not make Cupcakes. Patissier Cupcakes; they are unable to accomodate to Mom's requests Cup Of Mini... Nice cakes but cakes are crispy...? More suitable for little kids eh. Party has more adults though. Aunty Yochan; she is able to accomodate Mom's numerous requests but Mom's friend said her cakes are only so-so Divine Cupcakes; didnt respond towards the end of the chain of emails Twelve Cupcakes; should be pretty tasty but not the kind of designs which Mom is looking at Magaret Cookies; yet to try their cakes but probably will plan to do so. They can accomodate to Mom's. Centre Ps; gonna try their cakes after CNY. They are able to accomodate to Mom's. Does it mean Mom had already shortlisted Magaret Cookies a...

Patch back with Yi-Cheong?

Image
I had a "fierce" argument with Yee-Cheong (Yee Yee's husband, and that is my Uncle) some time ago... probably few weeks ago. It started with my mishaviour as I purposely stood in front of the TV and block his view from watching. See, this is how ridiculous I was and am,,, still. Well, so he raised his voice at me, "啊,走开啊!" (In English, it meant - Ah, Stand Away ah!"). I got the shock of my life, so is everyone of us including Mom, Yee Yee and Po Po. The next thing we know, I was bawling at the top of my voice and shouted back at him without hesitation. Well, the Yee Cheong whom I had known, soft-spoken guy whom seldom speaks at Po Po house and always keep a low profile finally voiced out! Mom felt embaressed of course. But she quickly neutralised the environment by telling Yee-Cheong it is OK to scold me as long as I am at fault. And it is a must to teach me. Well, you cannot imagine Yee-Cheong's embaressed face as well. He apologised to Mom! And even...

Mom's fav smile

Image
As usual, I always make Mommy angry each day, everyday. She always get fed up with my numerous questions, frustrations, tantrums, unreasonable behaviours. Sometimes she really find it hard to manage just one ME. Of course there are moments of happiness when my smile melts her heart. Everytime I am happy and overjoyed, I will give her a great smile. Sometimes I will ask her, "Mommy, why didnt you smile to me when I smile to you?" Sweet little boy, she thought. The old folks said before, when a child is naughty at a young age, he will grow up to become a fine young man/lady. Well, although these are just myths but Mom started to believe. When I was a baby, I was easy to handle. Now that Im a toddler, I am making Mom at her wits. Hopefully as an adult, I do not need to make her worry any more for me. She had pinned all her hopes on me and hope that I will become a better person from all the "canings", "punishments" and reprimandings... But I really hate the...

Hello Kitty Romper

Image
Yee Yee bought Mei Mei a Hello Kitty Romper from Fox Baby. Hello Kitty used to be Mom's favorite little character. Now, it rakes up the cutie little memories when her friends queued up at MacDonalds just to get the Hello Kitty soft toy for her. Well for now, Mom started to fall in love with Hello Kitty again. Yes, because of Mei Mei. She started to feel so girlish nowadays. Seeing small little girly things; she thought to herself that it is so suitable for Mei Mei. I guess the Hello-Kitty wave is gonna start again very soon!

Mei 1st-Year Bash Prep I

Image
***BIRTHDAY CAKE*** We did not have full month for Mei Mei. So this time round, we decided to make Mei Mei's First 1st Year Bash a special and unique one. The theme will be Barbie theme. Many of us started to wonder; why Barbie since Mei Mei is still very young errrr... one year old. What does she know about Barbie anyway...? Yes, actually she has no idea about Barbie. But we want to make it a memorable one so that when she looked back next time, she can see the beautiful moments she once had. Okay, now we started to have preps. 1st step is to get a barbie doll birthday cake. The few options we had are from Patissier, Pine Garden, ECreative. Finally, we had filtered out ECreative as we did not have a pleasant experience 4 years ago from my full month birthday. We had queried with Patissier; kinda expensive but still in negotiation with them. They had proposed to use Brownie as the cake base. Pine Garden, still deciding which flavor would be ideal. During my 1st...
