my first lunar birthday

Today is a special day for me. I am ONE by the Chinese calendar. So daddy and mommy took a day off specially for the occasion.

My day started with a special breakfast. Instead of the usual porridge, today I had meesua with egg (mommy says I cannot eat egg white yet, so it’s only egg yolk) and some veggie. Hmmm I am a good boy when comes to eating, I finish the whole bowl.


Then daddy and mommy brought me downstairs to buy their breakfast, and they went to this stall and bought two ang ku kueh for me too. Mommy heard from her colleague tat it signifies longevity, so she just followed lor. after back to home, mommy put the two ang ku kuehs in a bowl. It’s the first time I see something so red. Initially I dun dare to touch at all. Then daddy took a bit of the skin and feed me. Hmm… just yi si yi si bah, cos the amount is so tiny, I couldn’t really taste it. then I finally sum up enough courage to touch it, heeheehee, it feels soft and oily.

After my bath, it’s the highlight of the day… ZHUA ZHOU (choosing the item). Mommy laid out 10 items in a circle and each item symbolizes a career I might take in the future. The 10 items are

1) pen – journalist / writer
2) ruler – someone with judgement
3) book – scholar
4) thermometer – doctor or in healthcare profession
5) ball – someone in sports industry
6) mouse – IT profession
7) calculator – accountant
8) seal – someone with authority /power to approve
9) $10 note – businessman
10) Handphone – telecommunication

And guess what I chose? Firstly, I took up the mouse, one glance and I threw it away. Then I crawled to the calculator, grabbed it and then I am more attracted to the seal. Oh tat one I have n’t seen before. So I played with the seal for quite sometime. Then I saw the thermometer, the tip looks chewy. But after I put in my mouth, I got distracted by the seal again, I got to take tat one again.. then I went back to the mouse and calculator again.. but in the end, I took the $10 note and crawled away.. maybe I find money is the most practical after all?

After lunch, daddy and mommy brought me out for a little family time together. We went to Goodwood park for hi-tea. But the naughty me cannot sit still and enjoy the food and music. After a good 10 or 15 min, daddy and mommy have to take turns to entertain me, if not I will scream on top of my lung and the rest of the guests keep looking at me.

where is my order?

Then daddy brought me to the swimming pool and let me play with the water…
Eventually mommy gave up, she carried me somewhere there is carpet and let me crawl on my own..i finally found something interesting and happily crawled away. Then we realized tat the place is just outside the hotel’s office. And those aunties will stop and smiled at me.
finally get to crawl. better check got anyone catching me?

Haiz.. I guess daddy and mommy never really enjoyed the hi-tea in peace. After all they specially took leave to accompany me. Nonetheless, it’s good to spend the time together as family.

Before mommy forget, darren did some of his firsts on his lunar birthday, first, he pulled himself up from kneeling position to standing position with the help of coffee table.

2nd, he finally poo-ed when sitting on the potty. Hahha but I still very angry over this. When the maid heard the noise, she just let him sit on the mat if not for the fact I asked her to bring Darren to the potty. But she never removed the pants and diaper lor. just placed him on the potty and held him still. My guess is tat she doesn’t want to clean the potty and darren’s butt. After all, poo on the diaper just need to throw away the diaper rite? Less work for her. sighzz…
