Where have mama gone? No where actually, been tied up in school, as usual. Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov and finally, December.. U know how to go to the toilet urself now...though still reluctant because you said, "Got monster!" When u feel really brave, u will go to the toilet urself but I can see that u r stil thikg of monster... U sing loudly to distract urself. U wont dare to be at one place alone by urself, guess it's the monster thingy... except when u r watching "Cars". U have watched it 10 000 times, not an understatement at all! U could memorise the scenes n papa have bought u toys from this show. To date, 3 Lightning McQueen, 1 Doc Hudson, 2 Flo, 1 Mater and 1 Mack. U stil love cars, all sorts, u know what;s a convetible though u called it comfortable! One thing u had not outgrown, ur tantrums! I guess u r so used to everyone giving way to u when u throw a tantrum, that';s y it's staying? Only Mama dun give way... Ting Ting has joined ur family recently, i relly hope her arrival would put a curb to that tantrums of urs. we'll see.

It's busy July again...U have not ben learning too much in school but well u r getting older now. Pampers free since Jun 07. Learnt how to pee but still do not know how to pull ur pants up nor down properly...

It's May

Mum's a busy woman..ya. But still manage to spend time with u, little rascal. Y little rascal? Joei's now attending the same school as you and guess what, u became her bodyguard, escorting her to the toilet all the time. It will pass, (I certanily hope so) as long as Joei's settled down and you become less "kpo". I received my first mother's day card and heard my first birthday song from u, all in this month. Great..u sang nicely and of course, the teacher helped you with the card. U r speaking more mandarin now, not too bad, the foreigner's accent is less obvious now. U speak more words now and alas, u also have learnt how to bargain...."Mummy, I want something! One only!" " No." This happens a few times each day..so what's that something? FOOD! What else! U also know how to complain, I also hope u will outgrow this, I never ever really like complain kings in school. U will actually speak in a unjust tone and sort of to demand why grandma never scold jie jie when she takes your toy away. Pa gave u the name which means "to care for mother earth" and also "to have a magnanimous heart"...........

The bite!

Ha ha ha ha... u meet ur match! Krin, ur classmates, few months younger than u, BIT U! Well, u had ur share of biting others, so now it's ur turn to get bitten. Well, I took it like a pinch of salt. Children's play... More amazingly, u know wht u did? After u get bitten, u did not utter a sound, serious, not even a whine! U raise ur hand n told ur teacher "Teacher, my friend bit me." Exact words (according to ur teacher). Ur teacher asked if it's painful? U said, "Yes." It was a bad one, complete circle, the whole mouthful of teeth marks, blue blacked too. That's cool, young man. U r surprising me day in day out...love u more n more each day even with the kind of tantrums u r throwing.

Twinkle Twinkle Little stars

U sang the whole song today... without missing out any words. The answer to "THE QUESTION" - What have u learnt in school today is no longer "apple" it has changed to "elephant". How long do u think THIS elephant goona stay.

19 March 07

Nothing too special. Just that we did not have to scold u too much...there's good comunication, really good..everyone's happy in the family...must note this day down to remind myself.

Great discovery!

I was wasting my time all this while! I have no problem logging in at all actually... it's the computer at home that give the problem, not my account!Ha ha ha .............................................. ha ha ha. What a clever person I am!

U know what u did today?

"k'ddsbbb" What are u typing? U r sitting now on my lap, u say I must press the "page down" button and nothing else. Well ... U insisted on having sweets before lunch, I say "no". U tried ur luck again, this time u say u want biscuits. My answer? "No" of course. Guess what u tried asking for next? "Ribena." I gave it to u of course. And u washed the sofa with ribena. Lukily, I have been giving u super duper diluted ribena..Cant imagine the consequence..ya? Actually, this is the first time u did something like this. I scolded u, u cry (SOP) u ran to the sofa and shout and scream. 3 adults in the house and we all ignored u. U peeped when I looked ur direction, u saw me peeping and u went back to the corner of the sofa to cry. We continue to ignore u, u stopped of course..not too stupid... good decision making here. Important process . Lots more of decision to make, the older u r, the more chances there r for u to make decisions.

I am so into recalling

It is indeed very very very troublesome to get to this place to write but well i stil love to. Suddenly feel that there's endless things to write about. The more i write the more i recall. I was searching for the answer to the qn "R u easy to care for?" No, bcos u really was (always hoping that this is bu the past) really quick tempered. U whine the moment ur request was not seen to. But actually were we the ones who made u like that? Probably. I am nagging and nagging each day...hoping the temper will go away (it actually rhymes!). I am learning to stay cool and focused and trying really really hard to teach u the way to express urself correctly. BE understood. No one absolutely no one on this earth can do mind reading and if anyone try to mind read or was trying to be mind read, remind them that they have a mouth to express themselves...

A true man from Mars

U love cars, u have at least 30 toy cars, i hope u stil have them like now... u could tell the difference between a bulldozer and a excavator. U can play with your cars for like the whole afternoon. U arranged them bumper to bumber, u make them go up and down the chairs, u made them fly... basically u do what u can to them. U got ur first car (the kind u could drive in) at ur 2nd birthday from ur grandma. U actually know how to drive it the third time u tried. Ya ... so will i ever buy u a car? I honestly dun think so ... things might changed though, wil have to do a "needs ananlysis" and a "funds analysis" right? Ur papa n I dun buy lots of toys for u, it is ur grandma"s" and grandpa who have been doting on u. Have u talked to them recently?

My my my my my

U are in love with the "my" word. Everything is urs. My papa, my mummy, my kakak, my pillow, my...my...my. When was the first time u talk? I am sorry, I truly could not remember. What did u first learnt to say? I think it's "papa". U'r right, my memory been failing me ever since u r born. It's all right actually, it's good in fact ... cos I forgot the unhappiness too ... What I remembered was how my heart twitch when I first hear "mummy" It really really sound melodious. Anyway, at 2 years 6 months, you could actually understood most of the words that were being uttered and u could answer all questions posed to u, u r (i feel) extrememly good at giving politically correct answers. Ur ears pricked up when we r talking especially when we r talking abt u. But u hate to give people ur name, I wonder y? Papa love to ask "How do you say mosquito in Chinese?" You would answer "Mosquito in Chinese!" And the answer to "What have u learnt in school today" would always be "apple"(for 5 months and u r still at apples this very moment).

I finally found out how...

I think I had really given u all the neurons I ever owned. I simply do not understand why I can't log in from the blog to add new post. I have to do a create new blog each time I want to log in. Only then I can get to the so called "old blog" ahrrrgggggg... but see I tried for days and I did not give up and finally I can happily start commenting on 1 and only blog meant for u. How old r u now?

Where should I start?

U r 2 years 6 months now. I was sitting at the sofa the other day and was trying to recall when and how u actually grew this fast. It was there and then I realised I better keep some record somewhere somehow. Someone ask me some days ago, are u easy to care for? My answer was "No". Dissapointed? A simple question with simple answer but it wasn't easy to actually give an answer. The "No" came out of my mouth rather quickly but my heart has just started searching for an answer...

Am I doing this right?

I started a blog 2 weeks ago but could not get in anymore... so I started another one today, now..
