New Year Eve

Mummy worked half day, in the afternoon, we brought Darling out for lunch and shopped around at Vivo City.

Mummy wanted to snap some shots while we were strolling along the harbourfront, Darling paused and posed like a little model! He even lifted up his shirt to show off his little rounded tummy! He is simply too adorable!

We spent whole afternoon at the children playground till dinner time. Darling has good appetite to finish a plate of spaghetti. When the crowd started to build up at the shopping mall, people started to come in to join the countdown party but we decided to leave the place for our home sweet home. Darling would be too tired to join countdown party and we were worried traffic jam after the event. Darling fall asleep immediately after boarding the car and slept all the way home.

2009 Christmas Eve

After dinner, we went to Orchard to join the crowd to have some fun. We chose park and ride as thought of to avoid traffic jam… but…. We were wrong! Haha… we were stuck in the train station. Human traffic jammed very badly while road condition was not too bad! It was very stuffy and suffocating! We have problem to move forward yet unable to move back to station…. Finally reached Somerset, we jumped onto another ride to get out from Orchard!
Worse thing was mummy deleted our photos inadvertently............... :(

Promoted to N2

Mummy, Darling big boy, N2 now!’ Darling so proud that he has promoted to N2 today. He was so happy that his class has moved to 2nd floor which mean he is big boy now.

He started to say does not want to drink milk before afternoon nap, he wants to learn to bath himself, refused to put on diapers during his afternoon nap etc.

Time flies, since when our Little Darling is a big boy that approaching forty months old! He starts to know what he doesn’t want, whats will make him feel shame etc! But one thing still not change --- strong character and high ego which really headache!

N1 Meeting Parents Session II in 2009

Time flies, One full year has passed since Darling goes to the childcare center! We were invited to attend the second meeting pafrents session at 10.45am this morning. We rushed all the way after SM lesson.

Teachers commented that Darling is a good boy, more mature than his peers and behave like a monitor in the class.

We are happy with his academic development. He has no problem in writing, counting, simple addition +1, +2 and +3 and he could express himself very well. The only headache is he still unable to speak proper Chinese in a short sentence.

We need more effort to coach him and give him more time to pick up slowly as the childcare center is like an international school with majority of them are foreigners. Exposure to Chinese is limited too except with his Chinese teachers. While at home, Darling still refuse to comminucate in Chinese.

Olympics Linking Memory II

I learnt from previous lesson that darling will throw tantrum and refuse to arrange cards if put him together with other kids, so I informed Teacher Helen in advance that we separate darling from other rkids during the test.

Teacher Helen distributed each kid a set of card that they have to arrange after the set of forty cards was flashed on the screen. I collected cards and brought darling to a side for him to arrange cards on the floor. Very fast he completed the task and finshed it before the three minutes time frame. When teacher checked the answer, only three cards that were not in the right positions! Superb! Darling is doing well……… Teacher Helen was delighted with his performance and praised him.. hahahaha… Darling threw temper and walked out from the class! Sigh………

Xiao Yi's Wedding

We woke up early this morning preparing for my youngest sister's wedding. Darling extremely excited because he wanted to wear his "prince' suit as xiao yi is the pricess today!

Darling complained why the group refused to open the door, he offered to let the bestmen group to come in and volunteered to give them door key!



Darling and Xuan Xuan matching in the ballroom, he asked for more when finished throwing petals in his basket!

When people cheers for the new couple. darling busy shouting 'Yum Sheng' too! Everyone on the table likes to tease him and asked to cheer with him. This little boy enjoyed it very much, he bottom up few glassess of drinks!

Waiting to wet the bed! :(

2009 Graduation Concert

Darling was extremely excited this morning because he has performance on the 2009 Graduation Concert tonight! Mummy was very worried because Darling’s left eye infection, it was red and swollen, a lot of tears and irritated him a lot. Though had seen doctor and applied medicne but not much improvement.... how to perform! Time flies but today passed extremely slow...... :(

After work, we rushed to Ulu Pandan Community Club to support Darling’s first concert performance. Before performance, parents were prohibited to approach our love one at the back stage, just not to affect their mood. We peeked from the door when they were busy rehersal and put on performance costumes. Our Darling performed three dances:-

1. Hawaii 5 0
2. Musical-Surprise Handbells & I can Hear The Rain, and
3. Choco Latte

When darling performing on the stage, we covered our face with papers and magazine because he was nonstopped looking around the audience searching for daddy and mummy, I guess. Though he shaked his little bum bum and rounded tummy vigorously but I think he could have do it better if he paid attention.

When concert ended at about 9.30pm, teachers announced that parents who has kids in the toddler class can claim their kids first and followed by N1, N2, K1 and K2 class children. We still have not react but our Darling was rushing down from stage though the principle was trying to stop him! He told mummy that he didn’t have mood to dance because too sleepy and missed mummy! This little one really melt my heart!

I quickly cleaned up Darling's face, body and changed him to a casual T-shirt and pants. Made him milk and let him rest. He was knock-off immediately after changed.

八月十五中秋节

It is wonderful to have Mooncake Festival fall on weekend! Darling had great time together with gor gors and jie jies on this united symbolic kind of festival. Daling stuff himself with a lot of mooncakes and spent enjoyable time playing lanterns.

Darling clapping hard his little fat hands when lanterns were lights up! First tiem he saw so many lanterns lights up handing around the fence. He enjoyed carrying candle light lantern walking along the street in ah mah's housing estate. It was shiok and good experience strolling under the dim moonlight night with cooling and fresh air though it was drizzling! :)

Old Dear Dear Car

When we were on the way to school/office this morning, an interesting conversation between mummy and darling:-

Mummy: Darling, mummy going to send our dear dear car to uncle this afternoon, mummy will fetch darling with new dear dear car this evening.

Darling: Mummy, why?

Mummy: We sold our old dear dear car to uncle.

Darling: Why? I don't want, I don't want to sell old dear dear car, don't sell okay? Why we cannot keep two cars, I want new dear dear car, I want old dear dear car also.

Mummy:........................................

So sad, this old car served us five years already, got to send it away after this trip! A little kid appreciate it more than we are.... :(

Kellong Trip to Kukup

All of us went back to my mum's house over the long weekend, my mum suggested to go for one day kellong trip to Kukup, at the same time, we stopped at Pontian for yummy yummy wantan noodle! :-)

Darling was very excited. He has no problem taking the small boat to the kellong, he and daddy walked around at the kellong. Mummy was shaky, mummy very scared of walking on shaking ground.... hehehe..... So mummy stood aside incharge of taking photos... :P

Darling extremely curious, he asked to topuch everything! To him, touch starfish, crabs, catch fish, feed fish are so interesting.

On the way back to dock, he request for chalet stay too when he saw people alighted at chalets!

Zoo's Friend

Planned not to let Darling goes to SM class this morning as he was too tired but daddy insist to let him go. After rushing all the way to school then found out Teacher Helen was on MC. Daddy went back to office after we alighted, so I brought Darling to the nearby fast food restaurant for breakfast at the same time waiting for daddy.

It was heavily rain. I was so worried that we have to cancel our plan to go to zoo. Luckily it was stop after pouring for nearly forty minutes.

Not many cars at the carpark as expected due to wet weather. Darling never tired seeing animals. Since we have been here so many times, we intend not to cover too many varieties but rather let him spend more time on selected one.

He was so keen to ride on horse. But he was shy off immediate his turn. Mummy told him he is a brave boy should enjoy the ride as the other kids did. Daddy was ready to company him to tour around the garden if he really refused to go alone. To our surprise, he was happily ride on the horse and pose for us to take pictures. He was so happy and sweet smiling during the ride and asked for more after that.

After horse ride, horse carriage ride and coarsel ride. He enjoyed himself with the water games.
