Be a sport

Mom wants me to lead a healthier lifestyle as I grow older. So she started to plan some extra-curriculum activities" for my future?? She was looking at Taekwondo - which can train up my stamina and built as well since I like to "slap" or hit people nowadays.. Probably, I would end up offending more people. So, having this special skill can provide some self-defence? Nah... kidding anyway. Well, her main purpose is honestly for my good self-defence and another would be a skill to acquire so that next time, should I not be "academic-fit", I can at least be a Taekwondo Instructor... Sounds kinda amusing but somehow it should have more advantages. Today, we went to one of the Community Centres for a stroll. We saw some group of youngsters practicing " WU SHU " (Martial Arts). As I watched how they play with the poles; I made a good imitation though. I used the straw, asked my maid and kor-kor to stand around to form a circle as what the Wu Shu members did...

Button by myself

Image
Every morning, I will make it a point to button my own uniform whenever I can. At times, I will seek help from Mommy especially when am just too lazy. But Mom noticed that; as days go by, I tend to button faster and faster.. this would mean I am more familiar with buttons and know the reason for their presence now (dude)... One of the milestones --- to be able to button up without assistance. My next step is to brush teeth on my own, and of course with rinsing water as well.

Playing the slide

Finally, Mom bucked up the courage - allow me to play the slide. She always have the thinking that I may just fall off the slide halfway through. But she has forgotten a fact; and that is I had grown up, a two-and-a-half year old toddler. This Friday, my school will be organising an indoor playground activity (out of the school). Last year, I did not have the chance to go. This time, Mom feels that I should exposed myself to this type of environment. So am going! Hope to be able to post some pics if there is.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Rabbit - Mommy's role

Image
Yeeyee had given me a Rabbit - haa, Mommy used it for some role-play with me.. Fun though but quite boring for Mom. So you see, having a kid is not just being pregnant and giving birth to it, feed the baby, make sure the baby is well-clothed. We babies, toddlers - need to be "entertained", we want our parents to spend quality time with us. Couple of weeks back, Mom's company has a team-building program held at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Because of me; she forgo the chance to go and stayed in Office instead. To Mom, it is a sacrifice made. SHe can jolly well let go and just go for the trip. But she did not have second thoughts about it at all. To her, nothing is more important than spending time with me. Anyway, I am too obssessed with Mommy. In the middle of the night, I will scream for Mommy and there was a time - Daddy tried to be Mom's substitute instead, got a hell from me. I made a big fuss and make sure Mommy comes to me. A time without Mommy - its not something...

Bring my file

Image
Since I am promoted to Nursery One, I am given a file and am supposed to bring to School every Monday. When com to Friday, this same file will be returned to Mommy with a Performance Record Slip that showed my progress in School, what I had learnt.. etc. A good communication between Mommy & the School aside the normal Communication Notebook they have. I would say, I had really learnt alot in school despite the cryings (again) almost every morning when Mommy left for work from my school. Sometimes as Parents; one really need to learn to let go and what chinese believe "Close One eye"... Put aside of the disadvantages in School of course, I would say its quite a balance with the advantages... Well, nothing is perfect.. No matter what type of childcare a toddler receives, at the end of the day - its all about learning, growing up in different environments with a different care-giver. Now, I would consider myself as bilingual to a certain extent. Sometimes, I will use Mandari...

Peer Pressure?

A week break ~ I was down with cough and sick for almost a week. Mom was busy looking after me in the night.. So, last week was a tiring one for both of us. I had recovered somehow; still some light coughing away though. I tried to cough out the phlegm that is stucked. Cough medication is drowsy; so Mom cut down the dosage from twice to once a day now. I seem to have a liking towards all medication.At the end of the day, I am always the one "reminding" Mom ~ I want to eat medicine right after my bath in the night. in my throat, but failed. Yesterday, we went to Expo to grab some deals. We had a simple brunch just outside Expo. I had a (huge) muffin then. Normally, Mom has to feed me since am still quite reluctant to eat by myself. This time, I refused to let Mom do so. I wanted to hold the muffin in my hand bite from it instead. The difference is - In the past, I do not like to bite from cake/muffins, as I find it very messy. It will leave crumbs on my mouth, face.. So, I rat...
