“Ma-ma” are you calling me, Darren?

When I turned to 16mth, I started to make sounds similar to “ma – ma” mommy got excited as I finally opened my mouth to call her.. but she is not sure initially. Cos I sounded like this to her “ ma – ma – ma.. wa – wa – wa…: and as I said it, I was looking somewhere else or walking around.

But over the last weekend, mommy becomes so much more sure tat I AM calling her. cos when I said “ ma – ma –ma”, I was “running” to her and then hugged her legs. And this morning, when mommy was changing in her room, I shouted “ma-ma” so loudly in the living room cos I couldn’t see her.

Ooohhhh.. mommy melted oredi. Daddy? Green with envy…

recently, i have a heightened interest in alphabets and numbers. i like to point to the letters and words and make the adults read out to me. and i can say "1 (yi)" and "2(er)" in chinese. hehehe

daddy's birthday

hehe.. tis year is daddy's big 30, so he had so many rounds of celebrations.

1st.... with ma-ma, ye-ye and suk-suk at peach garden thomson plaza

who who.. who is the paparazzi??? today is for daddy's birthday, dun shoot me.

where is my food?

daddy's big birthday cake

daddy's lunar birthday... three pieces of cakes from cedele...

the actual day cake.. only a small celebration at home.

the ikea trip

wat a lazy sunday afternoon whereby we were at home doing nothing and outside it was raining whole day. finally mommy said let's go out when the rain got lighter, if not really can grow mould at home.

so we decided to head to ikea at alexandra although even the taxi driver say the tampines one is bigger but too bad.. it's too far for us.

many pple had the same thought as us as the place is really crowded. mommy actually wanted to put me to the kids playing area but too bad i am not 90cm tall yet.

At the entrance

so we walked around the places first and mommy bought a few kids-proof safety items for me since i can walk around myself now.

me in the shopping cart.

i wish to have a swing like this in my room.

of course the highlight of the day got to be the cafe. we had many nice food there and i like the poached salmon with potato.. anw think tat's the only food i can eat now although daddy and mommy did let me try the meatball and cheesecake too.

our spread for the afternoon tea


yum yum...

me so loving going to the library

one fine saturday afternoon, daddy and mommy finally decided to bring me to the library... lazy parents indeed, although there is a bishan library nearby,they have not brought me there for so long, the last trip there was when i was still a baby.

oh well, anw, i really like the kids section. there are so many kids there.. and being a friendly/kpo kid myself, i like to walk around and see what other kids are doing. many times, mommy had to carry me away cos i am being too nosey.. taking books or their stuff on the table wo asking... hahha... tat's my curious nature, ma....

reading book myself... can you see the serious expression on my face? oopppss. the book is upside down though.

the happiest moment when i was able to move abt freely.

i am very hardworking ok? i really listen intently...

so daddy and mommy, we should come here more often!

mommy's day off

mommy took a day off to bring me to collect my passport.

first we sent daddy to work by taking mrt... quite a new experience for me since i have never taken mrt during peak hour on a weekday. lucky there was a nice uncle who gave up seat for mommy and me. but i prefer to stand (or rather to be carried by daddy)

then we went to lavender to take the passport, at the station, i was happily walking around in the platform.

i am a friendly chap

the collection for passport is really fast since mommy has made an online appt. so within 5 min, we were ready to go. since it's still early. mommy decided to bring me to the newest shopping mall on orchard road - ION after hearing so much abt it. and as it's a friday, wai gong is not working. so we met up with wai gong and wai po too.

happily walking at ION.

as long as daddy or mommy bring me out, i am super excited. after a few hours of walking around, even the adults wanted to sit down and relax, yet i was still not tired and refused to take nap.

flipping menu, wat's nice to eat?

arguing with wai gong? why no food for me?

lucky mommy and lucky me

Since I was born, mommy got the habit of buying “mother & baby” magazine for its informative and helpful tips for new mommies like mommy. There were some quite good lobangs like the “chubbiest cheek” contest which mommy enrolled me but didn’t have time to bring me there.

For the june 09 issue, there was a contest of winning Drypers Drypantz hampers by sms-ing. Mommy thot “ why not, just try my luck lor.. after all it’s only a sms”.

Who knows, two months later, mommy got a call from the staff from Mediacorp Publishing asking what size of diapers I am wearing.

So last Friday (21 Aug) when daddy and mommy were both on leave (they went to enjoy the movie “UP” but left me with the nanny… bad bad bad…), they went to the office at YCK to collect the prize for me. there are 4 big packs of Drypantz in the carton. At the rate I am using diaper and with no sign of being potty-trained so soon, I am sure this can last me for some time.

Daddy's acting skill quite good hor. the diapers are not tat heavy lah

me and my diapers. there are 4 big packs inside.

another episode of sickness

(19 Aug... lazy mommy again didn't update regularly)

Just thot I recovered from the very sinister cough not long ago. I started to have runny nose shortly after.. being very kiasi/kiasu parents, daddy & mommy brot me to see dr Ong again. Sigh.. think all the aunties in the clinic know me pretty well by now. See my face oredi know my serial number.. sigh.. is tat a good sign? Dr said it’s a new strain of flu bug again and gave me some flu medication and told mommy just let it run its course.

while waiting outside the clinic.

when the wait turned out to be unexpectedly long.... i was cranky and hungry.

Obviously I am not strong. Cos over the weekend, I started to have fever. So daddy and mommy brought me to see another PD I frequented at TMC. There I did a nose swab test for H1N1. luckily it was negative. After taking more medicine, I went home.

Although I still got fever on-off, I went for ma-ma’s birthday dinner at Tung Lok signature at vivocity. I really enjoyed it cos I get to eat all the nice food usually not allowed. Like the shark’s fin soup with shredded chicken.. spinach tou fu… and the spinach with eggs. Yummy… and for the first time, I ate rice with these nice dishes together.

my blur look when they sang the birthday song

But mommy regretted of bringing me out when I was not feeling well. Cos tat nite, my temperature shot up to 38.5. mommy had to give me a dose of nurofen to bring my temperature down and also sponge me in the midnite to keep me cool.

Since then, my fever hovered around 38 degree. Daddy and mommy decided to bring me to see doc again. And this time… I have to eat antibiotics. Sigh sigh sigh…
