To the Library

Since DS was down with fever on Friday & Saturday, we could only stayed at home to rest. However, DS was well by Sunday so we decided to go to Northpoint for shopping as there is an extension to the existing shopping center. We walked around the new building and also stopped by the new library. The library was bright and spacious and I like the children area the best. Read a few books to DS there and also borrow 4books for DS (ended up, my bag was so heavy).

Roamed around the area for a while before asking DH to bring us to BottleTree Park for a walk. The park was quite small but packed with people as they were there for prawn fishing. DS wanted to go to the pond to catch fishes too but as he had just recovered from his fever, we decided that it will be best not to let him into the pond. DS also wanted to go to the playground to play but because of the heavy rain earlier on, all the slides are wet so DS could only sit on the swing. We didn’t stayed there for long as we need to go to PIL place for dinner. As DS did not have any nap earlier, he was so grouchy at PIL place and on our way back home, DS was already zzZZZ in the car..

Toilet Training – 16/02/09

Tried to let DS go ‘diaperless’ for about 2hours (8pm to 10pm) and during the 2hours, there were 2 ‘accidents’ and it was very tiring coz I have to kept asking DS whether he needs to pee and also kept bring him to the potty (that was why yesterday, I decided to take a break..hahaha). Think I still have a long way to go before I can officially let him go ‘diaperless’ during the day for his pee pee and poo poo “Gambatak”

V-Day mini celebration

Since DH & family will be coming over to our hse on Sat, we decided to have our V-Day dinner on Friday. We went to Mad Jack @ Jalan Kayu as there is a little play area for DS. We ordered nuggets & fries, mash potatoes for DS while I had black pepper chicken & cream of chicken soup. As for DH, he ordered Nasi Lemak but food was not as good as we had the previous time (they don’t even serve water there!) and DS was only interested in eating the fries. So I had a full but not delicious dinner. After dinner, its shopping time again (to burn off the calories) so off we went to Compass point again but most of the shops were about to close..Hmmm..waste a trip there.

Sun (15/02/09)
Woke up around 10plus and after DS have his milk and shower, we went to Suntec for our brunch. We decided to have Imperial Treasure to compensate for our lousy dinner on Friday. Me & Dh have noodles and for DS, we ordered rice with soup for him plus Xiao Long Bao..DS enjoyed his lunch so much that he actually sits down without much fuss and ate quite a big bowl of rice (Me and DH also get to enjoyed our meal too)..

After our lunch, we went over to JL @ Marina Square as there was some sales promotion (7% GST Rebate) going on. Brought a wok and also some stuff there and because we spent more than $60 bucks, we can also redeem a pack of 5kg rice.. Walked over to Suntec again for more shopping and this time DH got himself a new HP while DS got himself a Thomas & Friends train gate. DS only got his nap when we were on our way back to PIL place around 6pm plus…

Happy Valentine’s Day

3 more day to V-Day and that means DS is coming to 27mths. DS is slowly adapting to school (at least no more resistance) and he is making friends now. However, he is now much more naughty as I believed he have picked up some bad habits in school eg, likes to throw things around, pushing people etc. The good thing is that his language skill is better now, as he understand more and can express his thoughts better. Here’s his milestone till date

1) Understand the difference between big and small, long and short
2) Able to sing the two little dickie birds, Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Alphabet songs etc with lesser missing words and slightly clearer pronunciation.
3) Can points to the items in the picture and count. Able to recognized Alphabet A-D and also differentiate colours like green, red, yellow etc. But whenever you asked him for the object colour, his first answer will also be “green colour” ~faints~
4) When you asked him who does he love “Papa or Mama” he will answer “Papa & Mama” *so sweet*
5) When I wake up, he will ask me go and put on my ‘pack-t-cle’, which is actually “spectacle”
6) He now knows how to pose, hug people whenever he takes photos and he simply loves taking photos.

Well, now whenever we asked DS if he needs to pee, he will said yes and so I think he is ready to be toilet trained but it will means more mopping of the floor as I think the first few mths will definitely have lots of ‘accident’ plus DS drinks lots of water a day.. Hope he can be toilet trained soon, then I can save on his diapers…hahaha :)

Luo Hei – 01/02/09

Received a phone call from my family to ask us to go back for dinner (Nasi Lemak & Mee Siam) but DH wanted to watch the Chingay @ AMK instead so we decided that DS will followed me back to TPY while DH will go back to AMK and after the show was finished, DH will then come and picked us home. As DH was afraid of road closure at AMK, we decided to leave for TPY after our lunch. DH also followed us up and stayed to chat with my family.

DS of course was very happy to play with everyone plus he gets to eat lots of New Year goodies. While DS was playing, we decided to have an early dinner. The food was yummy even though its only a simple dish. As I have decided to follow DH back to AMK, we went on with our Luo Hei after our dinner. This is my 2nd time eating Yu Sheng this year, but for DH and DS, it was their first time. DS was excited throughout the whole process of tossing and shouting. He also joined in by kept on saying ‘Huat ar” and after we finished our tossing, DS actually used the chopstick to take a mouthful of Yu Sheng to eat. I am so surprised he knows how to use the chopstick to eat but I actually forgot to take photos of the Luo Hei process.

We left shortly after eating and DS fell asleep on our way back to PIL place. We were lucky to be able to still find a parking lot as we could see a lot of people at the tent opposite PIL house. After dinner, we all went down to watch the Getai first and around 9pm plus, the floats started to arrive. We were able to find a good spot but as we were very near to the lion dance troop, DS have to use 1 hand to cover his ear while the other hand happily waving to all the participants on the float. The floats even stopped for a while and we managed to take some pictures but I left my camera at PIL place so I can only take those pics with my hp and the quality was not that good. I managed to convince DH to rushed up to PIL place to grab my camera but when he returned, the floated started to move off, ended up not much photos was taken. We went up after the floats left but the guys stayed on to watch the Getai. Left PIL place at around 10pm plus and the floats have just arrived my area but as we have already seen the floats earlier on, we decided to head back home to rest. Happy Birthday to all on Ren Ri...Hope all of you have had a wonderful day :)
