21 Months Old

HEY!! I am 21 months old today!!

So what have I been doing today? I have been playing with Mommy's old camera - morning, afternoon and night!! I really like things that have buttons to press. That's why I was so eager to learn how to use this old camera when Mommy let me play with it. I know how to switch it on and off, view all photos and snap photos now...

Besides the camera, I love all the remote controls. I love to press the ON/OFF button for the TV, Astro and air-condition. I also love to watch YouTube on Daddy's phone, holding it and replaying the video over and over again...

Another thing I like to do is to turn open or close things and covers/caps of water bottles, toothpaste-like tubes, etc.

I like to drink from water bottles. I have learnt to balance the bottle so that I can drink properly without spilling too much...

Finally, I like to 'teeeeeh' Mommy and want her to 'pou-pou' at nights...

District Convention @ Malacca

We left for Malacca on the 30th of July after Daddy got home from work. I was excited to sit in my new car seat but after an hour or so, I got bored and wanted out of it. We reached the Renaissance Hotel at about 10pm. Even though I was dreadfully tired as I didn't nap much today, I was too eager to check out my new surroundings to sleep...

That night, I didn't want any milk because my gums hurt when I suck from the bottle. During the night, I woke up crying a few times. We all did not have a good night's sleep...

DAY 1 (31 July 2009):

I was quite good during the program. Most of the time, I sat quietly on Daddy's lap and also took a short nap during the morning session. However, I didn't have much appetite the whole day. I had my milk and some raspberries in the morning but after that, I didn't want any food or even water till night. Mommy was very worried. I didn't even want cheese which was my favourite and would spit it out. I would also spit out water as soon as I drank it. I couldn't tell her how my gums hurt. Another 4 molars are coming out. In the evening, I managed to eat a half a piece of bread which I liked having dipped into my milk...

That night, Mommy tried to offer me a 'Twiggies' which I accepted much to her relief as I was actually hungry and my gums weren't hurting as much at that time. When Mommy or Daddy weren't looking I left 'kisses' on the mirror. See my reflection and my 'kisses' in the photo below. Hehehe...

I only ate half the 'Twiggies'. My gums started to irritate me and again, we didn't have a good nite's sleep. Whenever I cried (almost every hour), I wanted Mommy to carry me and rock me back to sleep. My gums hurt so much that I didn't even want my pacifier but held on to it...

DAY 2 (1 August 2009):

I had my milk in the morning and that was it. Even the raspberries which I love didn't appeal to me today. They are really nice like little grapes, but my gums still hurt and I didn't know how to tell Mommy or Daddy. I just cried whenever I tried to eat or drink something...

So Daddy and Mommy took me to a nearest clinic. The doctor said I was teething and my gums are probably hurting or irritating me. I like the gel given by the doctor and when Mommy rubbed some on my gums, it tasted sweet too. However, I was still very scared to eat or drink. Daddy googled and Mommy tried some suggestions found. She offered me cold milo which I could happily drink half. (Maybe the Neurofen helped relieved a bit of pain). I also drank some iced barley when we went out for dinner with Po-po. After that, Mommy bought a small tub of vanilla ice-cream after a friend suggested it. I like it only after it has melted. But still, I didn't take much of it. The doctor gave some cough medicine to help me sleep. So I sleep a little better that night but still woke up once crying at about 4:30 am and wanted to play after that. I only went back to sleep at about 6 am...

DC DAY 3 (2 August 2009):

We almost couldn't wake up in the morning. We were all tired out due to lack of sleep, but somehow we managed to go for breakfast where I even took some porridge which I hadn't wanted for the past couple of mornings. Mommy was so pleased to see me eat something...

Even though I didn't understand the program, I enjoyed the singing and would even put my hands together obediently during the prayers and say 'Amen' at the end. We left for home right after the afternoon session for the final day ended.

Fractured My Left Wrist

Mommy and I went out this morning. We were at a shop and I was pulling at Mommy's hand as she tried to hold me close. Suddenly, Mommy felt something go 'pop' at my wrist. Then, I started to complain "Pain, pain" and cried. I held my left wrist with my right hand and continued to cry and cry. So Mommy quickly took me to the nearest hospital where I had a cast put on. Read the full report at Mommy's blog here.

Flying Skateboard

Recently, there is a cute advertisement on Astro and I like the part when a girl said that she wants to make a flying skateboard. I will imitate her action of a flying skateboard like this (see video)...

Nose Wet Wet?

Although I told Mommy yesterday "Nose wet wet" and used a handkerchief to wipe it, I didn't have a cold anymore. (Two days ago, I had a cold). I am all okay already...

Shopping @ Sunway

Mommy and Daddy have not taken me out shopping in a long while...

Shopping is pretty interesting when I am allowed to walk freely...

My Favourite Little Chair

Recently, I grew very fond of my good old little chair...

How You Should Not Eat

Tailored With Love

Daddy brought home a dress and a skirt which Mah-mah has sewn for me. When I saw them, I immediately said "jiok jiok!!", I wanted to wear them. So Mommy put them on for me and I modelled for her to snap a few photos...

In my pretty pink dress...

In my lovely white skirt...

Praying Before Meals

Mommy has been trying to teach me the importance of prayer. Whenever she says "Prayer time", I will claps my hands like this...




After the prayer, I would say "Amen"...

I Am Sick Again

Just two weeks I had a sore throat and fever. Yesterday I caught a cold and had a slight temperature of 37.4'C.

I couldn't sleep well at all last night as my nose was constantly blocked. I woke Daddy and Mommy up at about 1:30 am this morning and cried every 15 minutes before I could finally sleep well at about 5 am. The nasal spray Mommy put for me must have eventually helped after it was administered twice. Also, sleeping upright against Mommy's bosom also helped...

Despite poor or lack of sleep, I still woke up at about 7:45 am and was full of energy running here and there playing... However, I had an earlier than usual nap at about 1 pm today (my usual nap is at about 3pm). Whilst Mommy was watching TV, I went to a corner with Bobo, cover myself with a blanket (something I don't usually do) and napped like this...

Later when I woke up, I quietly sat on the sofa and watched TV which was still on whilst Mommy was upstairs. This is unusual because I would normally call out to Mommy when I am awake...

Don't Let The Bugs Bite

Arrrgh!!! A mossie bit me just under my left foot. It is so itchy and I couldn't sleep well last night as a result. Mommy tried to put some ointment which my pediatrician had given previously. However, it did not provide immediate relief. So poor Mommy had to scratch and rub my foot all night (from 4:30 am till 6 am) before I finally went back to sleep soundly again...

Counting?

Repeating after Daddy, I can say or try to say the numbers from 1 to 10 in different languages or dialects...


1. English




2. Cantonese.





3. Mandarin. (I dunno why I was so tickled when Daddy said 1 in mandarin):





4. Tamil.

What is the Frangipani Tree?

Hey, Mommy... what happened to the frangipani tree?

Oooh, Mommy had it chopped down last Saturday. Poor tree. Apparently, it was planted to close to the house. It was getting too big and the roots were threatening to break the tiles at the patio. Also, everyday dry leaves and flowers fall to the ground... making a mess in the garden and also that of our neighbours'. However, Mommy did save two branches to plant in pots.

Mommy, I know it is very sai-sai (sunny) now but may I go outside and play?

What's In The Pail?

1. Me!

2. Happy (my sheep)...

Mommy, I take Happy go gai-gai ok?

Point and Tell

Previously, Daddy and Mommy would ask me the "where" questions. For example, they would ask "Where is the flower?" and I would point to the flower. Then, they started to ask me the "what" questions. When they point to a picture and ask "What is this?", I have to tell them what it is...


Here's a video of me pointing and telling them what I am pointing to. Mommy likes to hear me say "Eeyore" and wanted to catch it on video too, but I let out a big sigh instead because... haiyaa, I was trying to look at the next page and she was annoying me...

Saying "Sayang"

Just for the record, I can say "Sayang"...
