Good bye Mummy Poko :)

Today is your 33 months year-old... wow.. times passed & my daughter growing day by day :)

3 weeks before, mummy & you over night at aunt house due to our house doing minor renovation. House look very messy & dirty during that period of time, so we have to temporary
stay in with aunt.

You very happy during that periods. Mom & aunt decided to let you free from pampers during night time. Well, you did it very good. Since the first day we stay in, you did not wee wee on the bed during night time.

You managed well on yourself. Day & night also will telling us when you want to wee. Now, you really free from pampers 24 hours. 恭喜！！我们亲爱的女儿 ^.^

Say good bye to 甜甜 (pacifier)

Most of the kids also love so much on the pacifier. My daughter was 1 of them.

You call your pacifier as 甜甜(tian tian , meaning as sweetly). Hahaha... when mom asking you 'Does your 甜甜 sweet?'. You will respond to mom saying 'No'. You are so sure that actually you just like the feeling on sucking and biting it. There was no taste at all on the pacifier.

Mom decided want to cut off your pacifier habit. So, when aunt told mom that your pacifier broken, mom told aunt " it's ok not need to give her anymore, I have to stop her on this".

It's so coincident that the pacifier at home also broken on the same time. So, mom & aunt work together to stop you on it. When you felt sleepy, and you miss your pacifier, the conversation as below :-

Ern Yi : Mummy, ern yi want 甜甜(pacifier)...
Mom : ooohoh... no more 甜甜oh... who asking you bite till broke?
Ern Yi : Mummy go and buy new one....
Mom : Mummy dun have money oh, Ern Yi have or not?
Ern Yi : Ern Yi 没有oh...
Mom : Then, how to buy 甜甜? Never mind la, Ern Yi big girl liao, not need to have 甜甜ok.
Ern Yi: 不ok oh... Ern Yi 没有 big girl, mummy give 甜甜.
Mom: Not need to have 甜甜liao, 甜甜broken and cannot eat anymore. Mummy already give to Jesus.
Ern Yi: Jesus, give Ern Yi 甜甜....
Mom: :) hahaha... Jesus throw away liao, the 甜甜dirty liao. Cannot be eta anymore, ok.

Then mom accompany you to your sweet dream, by changing the topic of the conversation. After a while, you had been slept. Mom can felt that you very miss your 甜甜 so much but, mom have to stop you on it.


Actually, without the pacifier, you also can sleep, just that you miss the feeling on sucking it. You take few days to recover your missing on your pacifier. After day 3, you reduce your missing on it and now you stop asking mom & aunt on the pacifier. You can sleep better nowadays.

Say good bye to 甜甜 (pacifier) .. :)

** Mom & Dad found that you really a good girl. Easy to convince and can accept change very fast. You can understand mom & dad concern and also can remember why we need to do so. Thanks so much my lovely daughter :)

TV Broke down :'(

This morning, as usual mom play the DVD for you, but out of sudden the TV just blinking like thunder and become black screen... Ooopps.... The TV was gone... can't watch anymore.. :'(

Mom & dad told you that no more TV to watch because it was broke down and we need to get the new one. Haha... you done a funny action when we told u this. You said "恩宜吹一下，就好了" (meaning that you just need to blow and it's will be alright). Then, you went in front of the TV screen and do the action. You use your hand to touch the screen like showing that you love it as well ...

You make us felt fun & happy on your action. To fulfill your need, mom had to use laptop to play the DVD for you :)

Finally.. U said 'I want wee wee'

Mom so worry that you dunno how to tell want to wee wee at your age. Compare to other kids same age as you, they can tell when they are about 1.5-2 year-old. But you had been more than 2 also dunno how to tell :(

Mom & 大姑(baby sit), work up the plan to train you on it... on the beginning, you can handle it very well on 大姑's house, but when you at home during weekend.. you are so lazy to tell mom & dad. Even through we force you to wee wee, you also dun want. End up, you wee wee on the floor... :'(

Haha... after 2 months plus we work hard on it.. finally you can tell us when you want to wee wee. Mom & dad are so happy that you can handle it well especially at home. But when going out, dad still want you to wear pampers, because he worry that you forgotten and wee wee on his car :(.

Anyway, mom very happy on your achievement. 加由，妈妈的宝贝。。。

CNY 2009 - Golden Cow Year

As usual on CNY, we will attend the Mandarin Mass (Church service) on the CNY eve. Mom like to attend it because it's more meaningful compare to English mass on the 1st day of CNY.

This year, you can understand more on all the CNY celebration. You can name out all the decoration things for CNY. You know what is ang pao and also can sang out a CNY song. Very fun with your around in our life. The fun part was you sang ' hong pao ..hong pao.. hong pao nan guo lai, Ern Yi Ern Yi fah da chai'.... hahaha....

CNY for mom & dad just like another Chinese celebration. We done a simple deco on our house and we also get a new cloths for you. This year we did not went back to Malacca, but all your aunties & uncles (mom's sibling) visited us at our home. They stay with us 3 days 2 night and you were very happy on that. Our house was crowded by 21 peoples in total :)

Economy Crisis :(

Today weather as normal, life also as normal... Just that bad news call to daddy's income. Daddy get a bad news from his employer. It's 10% cut of daddy monthly salary. Haiz..... life style have to change start from now. Daddy told mummy that.." We have to cut down the trips back to Malacca liao, it's can save a lot of money..." Mummy respond as :'(

Daddy felt pressure on it... and mummy also felt sad on this bad news. Em... how should we plan
to reduce the cost for living style in Penang? How to make more income to cover back this 10% shortage? How to plan for saving more now? Suddenly mummy had a lot of thoughts and thinking....

Em.. close the figures hard that mummy will get a good news soon about the transfer department. Wish that the new boss can do something on mummy's salary adjustment. Thanks God that mummy on the past 1 year had extra saving from the company allowance. It's really good for us to recover the crisis now. Thanks God also that daddy & mummy not work in same company :)

Mummy knew that you sure not understand what is going on and impact to your life. Anyway, you still a good girl in our heart as you did not demand too much on spend for your toys... Let us face the crisis together and we always beside daddy to support him... :)

Journey back to Malacca 2008-11-28

Early morning we woke up and back to Malacca to attend wedding for your cousin brother, Steven.We started our journey around 8am but the first thing to do were went to Balik Pulau to fetch mom's 2nd aunt. You call her "二姑婆" :)

After fetch aunt, we went for breakfast before we start our journey into highway. You're very happy because today you have chance to go out again. Your happy face and mood all came together. You started talking, asking a lot of questions and singing. You can remember a lot of songs and you make everyone happy during this journey.

This round, mom expected that we will had a tiring trip. Due to the time very short and we need to rush back by 30th Nov'08. The trip itself for both way had been ate up 15th hours on this trip.
However, mom still happy on this trip, because we had spend times together and during the whole trip you're excited and made the whole trip full of joys. Love you so much my cuties daughter.

New friends for my litte angel :)

In the beginning of 1 year+, you did not like to watch Barney. Every time mommy want to play the DVD for you, you will cried and asked to change. But now, you love it so much. Every morning when you woke up, the very first time you will said that you want to watch Barney.

Beside Barney, you also like to see Baby Bop (Sissy) and BJ. 3 of them become your favour now. You had a lot of questions to ask about them. What, why, where always from your mouth :S until mom also cannot answer you.

While watching together with you, mom also learning together with you on what Barney taught. Mom's English very poor since last time on school. Never thought of it's important in life, that's why mom did not built the basic since primary time. So, next time you cannot like mom, have to learn it up and do your best on this language ok... Happy learning my angel with your new friends ^!^

Worried on your potty training :-(

You are now a 2 year-old+ kid, but till today, you still don't know how to control your pee ... Mummy is getting worried over this issue. Most of your friends who are almost the same age as you are pretty much potty trained during the day time.

Mummy only have time to train you up during the weekend. During the last few times, you seemed lazy to tell mummy and need mummy to force you. In actual fact, you understood but you just refused to inform. Maybe you still don't know how to control it and mummy need to spend more time on it.

At this point, you can tell things pretty well except on pee :p . You are also very good in questioning. Question from East to West and North to South ... till at times, mummy also don't know how to answer your questions. However, it's really fun that you can ask so many questions and we love your curiosity. You can remember things/actions/words quite well after seeing/hearing those for once or twice. That's why mummy felt that it should not be a problem to train you up to control and say when you wanted to pee. But, you still love your pampers :(

Errmm ..... It might be caused by mummy and daddy not trying hard enough. Both of us also lazy to train you up on the early age and only now started to get worried over it ... Haiz ... Mummy really hope that you can learn to control it soon. Can tell when u want to pee as well as when you want to poo poo. At this moment you do these two things when mummy asked or forced you to .. :$

2 Year-Old Birthday :)

Time flies so fast. Wow... you reached your 2 year-old now. Mummy can't imagine that we had been together for 24 months. hehehe.... if count from the month you inside mummy's tummy, we had been together for 34 months. Mummy very miss that period you inside my tummy... and also miss the period that mummy breast feed you.. :$
This year, we only arrange a simple celebration for you. No gift, just a cake for you. You looked happily with the cake, because when you saw a cake, in your mind it's automatically reflect 'Happy Birthday to You'.... the song that you always heard.
You really big girl now... Can understand what's the cake mean for you and also can happily enjoy it. Not like last year during your 1 year-old birthday, some more crying due to sleepy. Now, you always want to show that you are very energetic, but mummy will force you to sleep before 10pm everyday. If not, mummy really not need to rest.
Happy Birthday our sweet heart... May God always take care your health, peace and happiness.
Go to sleep baby... good nite and sweet dream.... emmmmmuck (kiss from dad & mum)

Simple & Happy Holidays (1st - 3rd Oct 2008)

It's a long holidays again. Daddy & mummy took 1 day off as we could enjoy a 5-day holidays. For this long holidays, mummy planned to meet all the 姨姨 at Klang. We went to Klang on 1st October and you met all mummy's relative. Due to the fact that you seldom meet them, you kept crying on this day till you got yourself feeling comfortable having them around. At night we had seafood for dinner at Telok Gong, Selangor.

On 2nd Oct, we had a whole day trip at KLCC & KL Tower. We brought you to KLCC play ground, Suria KLCC for window shopping as well as visited the KLCC Aquaria. In the evening, we visited KL Tower to have a nice view on KL city from the tower itself. It was a real tiring day for you because you played without rest.

After visited KL Tower, mummy noticed that you had a fever. Daddy got a cool fever for you and after we had dinner and showered you, mummy sang song for you to have your sweet dreams. Luckily you had a good sleep over the night. The next day, we did not go out. We just let you have a rest at Klang. At night after 姨姨 back from work, we went out to the Klang's Jusco shopping mall.

Bangkok & Pattaya Trip (4th-8th Sept'08)

We decided to go ahead with the Bangkok trip as planned. As we reached the Penang International Airport, we noticed that there were still a lot of people going to Bangkok as well.

Mummy was relieved from the previous worries. We were happilly looking forward to the whole journey of the trip.

During this 5 days, we really enjoyed ourselves. We went to a lot of places and ate a lot of nice foods.

You did not eat much, just took a lot of white rice and drank your milk :) You enjoyed yourself with the Sea lion & Dophin's show, but cried when you watched the cowboy show due to the loud bombing sound effect. For most of the places, you did not understand what they were, but when you saw any beautiful design, you will show out your happiness.

When we were at Pattaya, daddy & mummy decided to go for 'Ah Gua' show. You are still small to understand who they actually are. Mummy did not tell you that all of those are men and not ladies. Hehehe ..... mummy was surprised that you enjoyed yourself watching the whole show displayed by them. You kept telling mummy that they were beautiful, nicely dancing and singing. You even clapped & bid goodbye with them in the end of the show ... hahaha ... That was very funny.

Mummy knew the fact that you were very tired. But you insisted to watch everything during the whole trip. Luckily, you could still take short naps when we travelled from one location to another. Overall, we enjoyed the whole trip very much. It was nice to travel with you, my loving daughter :)

Mummy depress on the coming trip :(

Mummy had been planned for our holidays on coming 4th September, but the news from the TV and newspaper really kill mummy's mentality as well as emotion. Mummy don't know whether want to go ahead or cancel all the booking due to the serious case show in Bangkok politic issued. Felt depress at the moment... :'(

Mummy tried not to read or listen all the news about Bangkok. But mummy still done the confirm of the situation with the tour agent at Bangkok as well as friends who are working over there. Everyone told mummy that over there life as normal and it's safe to visit there. Ask mummy not need to worry and can go ahead.

Since everything had planned and leave had been approved. Mummy decided will go ahead and don't want to waste the afford of this planning. Because mummy want to bring you to take flight before you reach your 2 year-old. Daddy show the worry face and we had a small argument on mummy's decision. But end up he decided to follow mummy :) because he loves both of us.

May God bless us on this coming trip especially for our safety over there. Amen

Mummy Miss U now :)

Mummy had a lot of things want to share with you. Mummy wanted to record down all the words that you said... em... but.. mummy was too lazy now :(

Mummy & daddy agreed that you had been grew up a lot... not only the physical but also the mental. You actively in talking nowadays, but sometime mummy still catch no ball what you trying to share.... whahahaha....

Now, you can differentiate inside vs outside and also going in vs going out. Have sense of direction now ^_^ Mummy is planning to buy you more education VCDs/DVDs, so that you
can learn better English. So far all the VCDs that you are watching now was sponsor by San Yi ...hahaha.. all were 2nd hand... but still keep very well and you love it so much.

Mummy not wish that you spend more time in front the TV, but mummy was hardly allocate out more than 2 hours for you in a day. It's now became your habit that when you turn back to home, you will request to on the VCD that you like. Around 9pm+ ... it's your time turning into sweet dream world. Mummy always waiting for weekend to come, so that mummy can spend more time for you :)

Papa.. We Love You :)

This day was just like any other normal day. The only special thing about it was today you had cake to eat. When come to cakes, the first thing that came to mind for you was 'sing hapi birt day...'

As usual we went to Church in the morning. Then daddy & mummy went to Citibank to clear the cards payment. We later enjoyed our lunch at Ribs and we bought a cake for daddy ^_^ ... Mummy wanted to bring you to the shopping mall, but with grandma's condition, it's very hard for us to spend a longer time there. We need to take care of grandma also and she can't walk for too long. However, you were a good and understanding girl and easy to convince and easy to be happy.

It's might be too tired for you to follow us around the island, and it made you felt sleepy. After we reached home, you had your afternoon nap for 2 hours and happily woke up when you saw 2nd aunt came. Mummy prepared the dinner and we had simple dinner for this day and after dinner we enjoy the cake cutting and photo shooting with daddy.. ^_^

Happy Birthday to you .. PaPa..We love U ... :)

Your First Hair Cut

Today, daddy & mummy brought you to cut your hair for the very first time since you were born ^_^ . Daddy went ahead to have my hair cut first. Mummy kept telling you that you need to be good and sit still when it's your turn to have your hair cut.

Once daddy was done, you were brought to the chair where u were put on a piece of plank. You were pretty happy when seated there and you kept saying 'chuo kau kau' (sitting at a higher spot). When the lady started to trim your hair, you very quiet and still to let her do the cutting. And often, you kept smiling happily in front of the mirror ^_^.

Recent Trip to Malacca

We went back to Malacca last Friday (18th Jul) till Monday (21st Jul). As usual, you were only excited to see Shi Yi (4th aunt) when we arrived. Everyone else were like total strangers to you eventhough you have already met everyone before.

When you saw San Chiu (3rd uncle), you kept saying "mai mai ..." (i don't want) and ran to daddy and said "papa pau-pau" (daddy, carry me). We could clear saw tears flowing out from your eyes then. Poor little thing.

When we went to Shi Yi's house, you were busy walking and running around. And the next thing was .. you climbed up to the upper deck of double decker bed all by yourself and you happily said "pha kau kau" (literally means climb to a high spot).

Time flies. You are going to be 2-year-old soon.
