3rd Day of School

I requested uncle papa and nanny mama to send me down to wait for driver uncle... Once I saw Jaden I told him not to eat candy early in the morning. I say goodbye to both of them and follow the bus to school.

Teacher asked me to drink water today, I wander why, must be my daddy call teacher up to watch on me. I told mommy what I did in school as they didn't come and peek on me. I dance and sing... I told mommy books... But didn't tell her what I read. Anyway she is happy that I didn't make a fuss when I was sent to nanny place as before going to school I told nanny to wait for me after school and she did as per her promise.

Snack Box of the day :- Some pears, donut and 2 pcs of goat milk candy.
P.S. --> I requested for raisin from my mom before going to nanny place but she told me cannot eat too much raisin, today I will have candy and I got it as per her promise.

2nd Day of School

Driver Uncle come very late so mommy is unable to send me off as per plan.

So daddy sent me to nanny place before going to school. Mommy was wrong I didn't cry when going up driver uncle's bus. I didn't cry in school too. I even spotted Uncle Papa's car when they come and peek on me. I shouted loud to my teacher is my Uncle Papa so nanny dare not come down to talk to Teacher Irene as per plan.

I didn't cry when I reach home too and I told nanny I want to go and fetch Ah Ben from school.

Mommy was released she is so proud of me but she still worry that I will get bore of school life after awhile. Lets wait and see...

Snack box of the day :- A pc of spong cake and a pack of raisin...
P.S -->Nanny complain that I didn't take water.

1st Day of school

I am excited to see Jaden and Ian in the bus, I hop in and the bus left in a sec, my mommy say she hadn't got time to react and I am gone, no cry from me but both my parents are shock.

I enjoy the warm up session with Jaden and Ian, Ian gor gor accompany us today he told everyone we are his didi and he got to take care of us today. So sweet of him...

We have sing along session, play doh session, reading session in Chinese and English. We do some simple exercise too I enjoy myself a lot as I realise my parents are around.

I reply teacher Michelle with Multi Language during the story telling session... I told her I saw gorilla, crocodile, "ma yi" (ants) and "koo koo kee" (rooster). Aloud! Mommy is proud of me and felt released that I enjoy the class very much.

I start to look for her when she went over to another classroom just opposite the road, I break down once I saw her at the other side of the gate and cry again when the bus uncle sent me off alone, Jaden is not with me... I didn't stop crying even after I reached nanny's house. Mommy is expecting for a bad day tomorrow.

1st Day of School

Still don't know what is going on so very happy while waiting for Bus Uncle to come... Didn't cry as saw Jaden and Ian in the bus.

Ian skip his lesson as he got to take care of his 2 didi... Jaden and Me. Special thanks to him from my parents. I am not crying as he is around, we have fun with play doh, story telling session and snack time.

View of my school equipment and each students are doing their task on the mat.

Going School

I start school on 9th Jan, 1 week after the upper level students start theirs...

They keep asking me whether do I want to go to school, my reply is NO! Mommy try to convince me that there are teacher who tell me stories and there are friends around. Normally after a bit of consideration I will say I want school. But my answer is always inconsistent...

I start to sleep at 9pm on 1st Jan and Mommy will be the one sent me up the bus in the morning and nanny will fetch me from the bus after the end of the class. They are worry what will I react in school but they also hope that I can accelerate my knowledge there.

Mommy worry a lot as she feel that I am still a baby, so worry that she can't sleep some of the nite and she decided to take leave on my 1st day of school to accompany me with Daddy. She keep reminding herself to let go and let the teacher and driver handle me, but she still worry lor. That's my mom.

I also don't know what to expect so can't review much just hope that everything goes fine and I will enjoy school soon.

Toilet Training - Diaperless?

No more wet diaper even when I am out, I will wait patiently for my dad to bring me to the toilet. But they find it troublesome they ask me to pee in the diaper but I refused, daddy say is quite tedious when there is no toilet around or when I am in a moving vehicle. They really hard to please. But they are proud of me of course.

Toilet Training - No tu tu Train

Daddy let me play with my new toy (Actually not very new is my 1st Yr old Birthday Gift which I have being eyeing on it for age) when I came back from nanny's house... No diaper at home now 8(...

Got to inform them when I need to pee... Sometime I am too engross with the moving train and accident happened.. Daddy ask me to keep it once I wet the floor, I know I did wrong and guai guai do what he requested... He will allow me to pour out the train set again when I did it right 8)

So far they are happy with my performance, they graded me 67% as out of 3 times 2 are into the toilet bowl. Not so bad right...

Toilet Training - Phase 1

My nitemare started after nanny told my mom I am diaper free in her house. Daddy put me on a trainning pants after we came back from BF, he say I must tell him before going pee... I nod my head to agree with him. They are so nagging keep asking me whether do I want pee or poo and my reply is firmed, NO... Just about 1min after my reply I pop on the pants daddy was mad! Then I was changed to another training pants and I pee on it again... Daddy start to loss his patience... He told me once again I need to inform him before I pee. I cried and told mommy I want to put on diaper. They told me no and I continues to pee on the pants for about 3 times and to make me understand my daddy even demo to me and my mom inform all of us when she wants to pee... I start to understand a bit and I told mommy I want to pee and she is happy to see me standing on a small stool and pee into the toilet bowl... Yeah!!! She is so happy that she feel like crying 8) This is the 1st time I did it infront of her. I put on diaper in the room and I tot that since I am on diaper I don't need to infront them I want to pee, but I was scolded by them once they found that the diaper is wet. Mommy refuse to let me sleep before I pee and I did it after a bit of crying. Daddy and Mommy I think I understand a bit to make all of us happy I have to pee in the toilet just like my parents. They hope to see improvement as I am going school in Jan 2008.

Open Sesame!

Yah finally reached the door knob and open it all by myself I am so proud of it and practice it more than 20 times to ensure next time I won't lock up liao...

I see my dad face very black better stop and try again tomorrow...

Daddy is back!

We wait for daddy to reach home early in the morning... It was 7am and mommy ask me who was just awaken whether do I want to go down to meet daddy. When I see dad I was a bit shock, tot he went holland... After a bit of warm up I start to feel good to have him around 8) Mommy don't carry me so often and daddy like to hug me around 8) I miss him so...

We visit Dr Ho straight after he is back but BB still didn't give a hint of the gender. So got to wait until 18th Dec...

Happy to have Daddy around even Dr Ho say mommy look different compare to her last visit.

Hair Cut, not again!

I was happily sitting on a kiddy ride car and that auntie who is not very friendly come near me with a trimmer... Mommy is not happy already she feel that she is not professional at all should let me warm up 1st mah... She keep pushing my head down and force the trimmer on me, I started to cry...

Then mommy request the person manding the shop to change to a show more suitable for me she realise that they are actually not connected to a player they just showing what is on the TV imagine if we go there at 7pm I might be watch a TCS drama... And daddy need to request the man to give us a pc of candy all this need to ask one.

The "hair stylish" make my parents and me whole body full of trimmed hair I was irritated by it and then when mommy ask daddy whether should I go for another round of touch up after coming out from the wash room, my reply to her is simple... NO!!!

With this barber kind of service they need to pay S$16 and I heard both of them agree not to come to the shop at Punggol Plaza again... Lucky me, I hate trimming my hair!

2 more days to go...

Mommy is not feeling well, she is having insomnia and bad migraine... I can see that she get sad easily and I told her not to cry... Try to dry up her tear too, as daddy is not around got to act like a son, a husband, a big brother and a father of the family.

I also lost a bit of my sleep recently, as mommy will carry me down to my bed when I'm in deep sleep but middle of the nite I will request to go back to her bed, as I need to look after her.

Mommy is quite worry that daddy got to sleep on my bed when he is back as I am taking full control of his bed, pillow and blanket.

VJ

I learn something new while daddy is not around, I change my own disc anytime I like... Mommy is not very happy but I insist of doing it all by myself. After the show I will remove the disc and off the player. Unwillingly 8(

Another Day when Daddy is not @ home

Today he is in good mood...

Mommy tot I will wake up late since I sleep at 11pm last nite... Fat hope!

I still wake up the same time. Actually earlier I wake up at 6.30am. She force me back to sleep and it only last for another 2hrs.

We didn't go Kovan as per plan as I take too long to finish my milk. Go straight to Gong Gong's House. We spend a morning there and rush back for my nap after lunch.

I wake up after 2 hours nap and it was thundering and rainning heavily. Our plan of going to the park was drained.

Is okie I enjoy my puzzling time and "Cars" movie time with mommy too.

Mommy's word :- Everything is fine except for milking time as it take him years to finish it and sometime he don't even finish after 1hr 8(

Big Floor Mat Puzzle

Love this floor mat puzzle and daddy say when he is back he will buy me another set... Hooray!!!

1st Weekend when Daddy is not around

Mommy brought me to a coffee shop near Punggol Park for BF, and after that we have a walk around the park and I did what I promise I didn't request her to carry me while walking in the park. I heard a noise from the tree, there are two birds singing on the tree. Mommy told me there is fish and prawns in the pond and I told her there are frogs too...

I finally have a web meeting with my dad today, I spend about 1hr talking and end of the conversation I try to hug and kiss the monitor as I see him in the screen.

I did some craft work while chatting with him. Tearing, gluing and coloring...

After my dinner mommy ask me do I want to go out with a pram or not as she is not able to carry me... I told her I want to walk. We walk about 1 bus stop to a coffee shop near our house to get her dinner. I do all the walking all by myself. During the walking I told my mom I want to go Holland. She told me Holland is very far we have to wait for daddy to come back to us she promise me it going to be very soon.

Mommy is very proud of me and she is thinking of getting kovan's bao and maybe some other goodies there tomorrow before going to Ah Gong house she think I should be able to make it without bringing my pram along.

Mommy don't worry I can even help to carry some of your stuff 8)

Daddy not @ home Day 3,4 and 5

Once I wake up on wednesday I asked mommy where is daddy... Mommy give me a look and remind me Daddy is in holland.

We didn't get to have any web meeting the pass few days. The timing is not right. Daddy can't see me in office as there is firewall and when I am awake he is sleeping.

So hopefully we can have a conference on Saturday after he is awake. Hopefully by that time I am not taking my nap.

吓死我了！！！

I went into the bedroom alone while mommy watching her show in the living room. I closed the door and when I want to come out I realise I don't know how to open the door. I shout for mommy and she got a fright too as the door is locked by me accidentally while I try to open it.

Luckily we have key outside the room and she is able to save me out of danger in just a mintue.

After the door is open she wanted me to lock the door again! I rejected her immediately... She must be crazy I just kena lock leh I will not want to do it again so I went back to watch my show again...

Specially dedicated to my Dad

Daddy don't worry, everything is under my care including your bolster, your blanket, your pillow and your bed :)

Your Sleeping Macho...

Daddy not @ home Day 2

I refuse to go with nanny for 2 days, clingy to mommy for a minutes before I am willing to kiss her goodbye.

I know something is missing. Refuse to sleep on my mattress too. I look for mommy middle of the nite I know she is lonely too. But I am a good flipper flipping around her and she didn't get a good sleep. I cry a bit middle of the nite I think I really miss daddy although I didn't ask for him. My mommy do told me daddy is now in holland and he is safe. So good to hear that 8)

Mommy brought me back from nanny's house last nite and she told me I had to learn to go up the bus by myself. Everything is as per normal I drink milk while watching a show, brought the bottle after I finish to the sink(He put it on our TV console although he know where is kitchen's sink no idea why). Brush his teeth change his diaper. After doing all that mommy ask me whether am I ready for card flashing I agree to her. But hor she didn't tell me I have to do it for 130 days, if I know I will think twice 8(

Justen Read! Mommy don't read...

I've being his story teller, but recently he refuse to let me read and insist he will read to me...

His favourite book at the moment is "The Very hungry Caterpillar" and he can remember some of the sentences quite well but sometime he will just mumble away and when I want to correct him by reading after him he stop me...

That day after reading that book, I ask him do you want to listen to "The Runaway Bunny." He say mommy I read... But he only started with the title "The Runaway Bunny" and stop there... Look at me and say mommy read... I told him I will read to him and next time please read to mommy okie 8) He give me a smile...

(We saw mountains in Jpn point to him and show him and he tell me little bunny, I am trying to relate what he mean and then I realise is the story about "The Runaway Bunny" which the bunny turn to a rock in of a mountain that he relate it immediately during the journey to Osaka.)

Japan Trip 2007 - Day 5

Osaka Castle and shopping area at Namba

Today weather is cooling again, we have bread and soup for breakfast and took a train to Oska Castle weather is so cooling that I fallen asleep before we reach. This place is not very kid friendly as my parents need to carry the pram together with me down a very long stairway.

Walk thru a garden and we decided to U turn back when we see the stair way along the castle.

Proceed to Namba to Dotombori their food distict and next to it is a shopping district where my parents get a few items from Unoqlo (Japan brand) then we process to Den Den Town (Japan Largest Figurine Town)

Today we are visiting US-universal studio we have our breakfast at a Jpn Curry house I refuse to try somemore as I don't like their smell... I see my parents finish up all... Don't know what so nice about it. Heard daddy say the pork is tender.

We need to change a train to reach US station... Reach there around 10.30am. The Park is already full of pple. I am amaze with the roller coaster ride which surrounded the park. I see Hotel Kitty and Woody Wood Packer. Very happy and amaze with my surrounding. But I become cracky when I enter the 4D threatre for Shrek Show. The PIC don't allow mommy to carry me so they walk out of the threatre without watching it. I fallen asleep awhile later while watching a snoopy street show.

When I am awake I am surrounded with a lot of people. They are having halloween party, I am attentive to see all those funny creature singing and jumping around me.

Then we go for our lunch, Daddy feedback that my set with burger, fries and drink with a free lunch box is cheaper than his adult set only burger and fries no drink. So they took my drink without asking 8(

After lunch we proceed to Snoopy town and I have lot of fun @ there... Next is OZ land whereby I got up a ride with daddy but he feedback that I very picky end up choose an animal which can move at all...

We follow the crowd and when into a big hall, a show is going to start a lady keep talking to my mom but she don't get what she mean so she keep taking picture of me later then we know that no picture is allow :P

I was scared to see the moving dragon and keep telling mommy to leave. Is quite a boring show so we walk out of the hall with some of the Japanese Jie Jie think they also find the show boring.

I fallen asleep straight after that and my parents decided to go back to our Hotel as they are very tired. We sleep for 2 to 3hrs then Mommy is so hungry that we proceed to take our dinner. She eat quite a lot can eat every 2hrly. That nite we have Ramen.

After dinner we shop at Diamaru which just allocated next to our hotel. While choosing my bag she realise that all the sales girl are looking at us. Then they told us that their shop is closing. Can't believe that is only 8pm and they close liao. So Mommy quickly get me a Shinkansen Bag and a Thomas the train puzzle which she feel that is coolz (3 in 1 set with cover that stop the puzzle from falling while I am playing with one of them) It is a difficult one as Jap Puzzel are odd shape. Not so easy to complete.

The sales girl also told us their food store will extend until 9pm so my parents went straight for dessert hunting but they all look good but don't taste nice 8(

Japan Trip 2007 - Day 1

Mommy disturb my sleep this morning while changed me to a kimono, I am totally awake but keep telling them I am tired... After awhile I am jumping around happily. I will tell them I am going to Japan when they ask me where am I going... I keep repeating this even we have reached Japan.

I am a bit disturb when the plane take off, mommy give me a pack of raisin and pass me a new puzzle on animals I am happy to see it as it is in bright colors and beautiful graphic, my father bought it at Toyrus which cost him S$1 per pcs, is a 25pcs puzzle.

I met a new friend on board, he is 4mths my senior and he is flying back to chicago. We have a good time playing in the plane...

Play too hard on the plane and I fallen asleep once I reach Narita Airport sleep thru out the whole 2hr Journey and wake up once we reach Ikebukuro Prince Hotel.

Short walk to our hotel - Ikebukuro Theatre Hotel and weather is great! Just when we reach our room mommy realise our camera is gone... She is an experience "loster" so 1st thing she did is to call the hotel attendance for the bus tel #, but due to language barrier a Lady came to our room and help us on the translation (her english is not very powerful too)... 1st she called the bus counter and get them to track on the bus that we took and at last she able to track that our camera is left in a bus and the driver had place it safely at another drop down point which she told us is about 10min away from our hotel, took us 30min to reach that hotel. But really grateful for her help that we are able to get back our camera...

Happily getting back our camera we proceed to look for a makan place... We finalise on a BBQ Jap Restaurant that we didn't manage to go during our last trip. Heard mommy saying all because of me. 8( Anyway their food is delicious but I shouted : "Justen Yao Chu Qi Da Bian"... Mommy very happy as this is the 1st time I told them before I poo...

We shop around ike as their shop close around 8.30pm we went back to our hotel. Mommy and me sleep early that day and daddy went to their "arcade" to view on the latest game. Is his hobby before knowing mommy.

Showing my patience...

This is my latest record, doing a 40 pcs puzzle all by myself. I take a while to finish but I didn't give up. I even reject help from others, I will tell nanny "你不会啦!"...

Mommy's words (Actually the clip is very long, is 15 mins, just to keep for ourselves, can go to 9min to see him stretching his body after doing the puzzle for quite awhile. And rolling around searching for the missing parts. But overall he is paying much attention to complete it.)

Opps 2 pcs are missing. So my record is 38pcs at the moment 8)

好爱演嘞

喜怒哀乐

Massue

I being having backache lately, daddy will help me to massage my back to ease my aching... Our little boy will help up too.. He will pull up his sleeve... bend his elbow and massage my back using his little elbow. He will place his 2 littles fingers on my shoulder for a few second... Mommy is very touch 8)

He will also tell Daddy "Mommy's tired don't disturb mommy"...

It really melt my heart.

Keeping Time

Daddy's own version of keeping time song, he and Justen will sing along while keeping toys. Now I just need to tell Justen is keeping time he will start doing it by himself while singing without our help. Some good time he will do it without any reminder. He also know that inorder to play another types of toys he has to keep the current one.

He do the same thing for books, will keep one before getting another.

We are proud of him, at least the time on reminding him is worth spending.

Shoes Rack

We have enforced him to remove his shoes and place it in our shoes rack since he know how to walk... And we see evidence of our hard work. He will place his shoes on the rack when ever his shoes is removed. At home, in JG and even in relatives and friends' house... And some of the time he will be the last to leave as he can't find his shoes at their house when we are going back home.
