I have fully recovered from Coxsackie since Sunday.
Liz:”Mummy, I want to go to school.” *Sob Sob* (Mummy was so glad when Elizabeth starts crying, wanted to go back to school. Ha!)
It’s kind of boring to stay at home. I want to go out but I can’t drive a real car. :(Never mind. As long as there are kiddie rides for me. I love kiddie rides. They are just like my battery operated motorbike. They are all auto drive. I just don’t have to learn how to drive. I don’t even have to pay road tax or busy searching the one with best service from the list of car insurance companies. What’s so fun about driving on the road! Hahahahaha……
Unfortunately, I can’t make this plane fly as my legs are not long enough to reach the pedals. :roll:
I will be jumping for joy if I can go to the mall and play with the kiddie rides like last Saturday instead of just staying at home. LOL!
Tomorrow has no school cause it’s a public holiday. Little Elizabeth was enjoying herself so much playing freely in the house after school till now. Since it’s an extra family day, mummy is still thinking what we can do tomorrow.
Shopping might be a good idea if I can’t think of other. As sometimes there are interesting activities in the mall. Such as the singing competition organized by Anakku last month right in front of Gurney Plaza.
As we pass by the promotional bus……
Promoter:”Do you want to sing?”Liz:”Yes!”Since you are so excited, why not give it a try. As we walked up to the bus, there was a small waiting hall with sofa.
See… Little Elizabeth was so patient and happy while waiting for her turn. She even starts singing. :P
Then, she was asked to sing in the recording room. She just kept looking at the man who did the recording. And, singing from very soft to almost no voice coming out.
Mummy:” Mmm… Can you sing louder, baby? Or you just want to leave now?”
She quickly nod her head and we walked out of the room in no time.
Mummy:”I thought you said you want to sing?”
Liz:”I want to sing on the stage. Not a room.” Wow! Looks like she already learn to protect her ego in such a young age.
By the way, that’s a great experience for this little girl. As she might not know what’s the motorhome insurance. But at least, she was being exposed to the idea of making rooms or home in the bus or van, which so called motorhome now. Besides, she gets to see what’s a recording room.
A little girl who doesn’t need pronexin yet already enjoying her candle light dinner with romantic piano plays. That’s what we did after we came back form the beach on Sunday night. How about that? Thanks to daddy. Mummy have to admit that having a “creative” daddy definitely makes a different to your childhood life. It’s such fun!
Well, it was too dark. Can hardly see your face. Can we switch on the lights now? Liz:”No! I like eating in the dark.”
Taa… Daa… It’s curry chicken! That’s what we eat for the romantic candlelight dinner. Hahahahaha…….
Mummy can never forget yesterday’s candle light dinner. Will you? Eating curry chicken in such dark environment, it is the first and probably the last time ever. However, mummy is glad that this simple candle light dinner setting did make you laugh out loud.
Yesterday, I just swim at home. But, I am content with it. Then, we planned to go to the beach this morning. Unfortunately, everybody sleep until 10 a.m. Mummy said it’s too hot at this hour. May be tomorrow morning.
So, this is my all time favourite. I love to go to the beach. In fact, I just had a great time at the beach on Thursday.
It’s such fun! We went home as the sky turned dark.
I guess if mummy told you that we can actually have barbecue party at the beach, you little party queen will get even more excited. I am sure my curious little one would love to find out how to set up fire and grill yummy food right on the beach without using the electric grill. Mummy promised this is going to be more fun than picnic at the beach.
Today, I enjoy playing pretend about going to school. It’s such fun! But, I don’t want to wake up so early and go to school every morning. I want to stay at home!
I cried again this morning.
Liz:”I don’t want to go to school.” *Woo…Woo……*
Mummy:”Oh, girl. Don’t cry anymore. You need to go to school everyday. That’s your work.”
Liz:”Today got no school, mummy.”
Mummy:”Oh, Liz. Quickly brush your teeth and get up to the car. You have been really naughty. I think you become Elizabeth lazy bone now.”
Liz:”I want to go walk walk.”
Mummy:”No more walk walk today. Cause you get up late and wasting all the time on crying and throwing tantrum. That’s it! Mummy won’t pampered you anymore. Mummy never really force you to do anything. But, schooling is the only thing you must do everyday. You already grown up. Stop crying. You must learn to follow certain rules and regulation now. Do things that you might not like, but you just need to do it willingly for your own good. ” *Mummy raised up my voice and starring at you at the same time*
Wow! She is truly angry this time. Better don’t challenge her. I kept very quiet and stopped crying. LOL!
This time, mummy will let the photo shots to tell the story.
At first, you were washing the standing stool. Eventually, you continue washing to floor after you have done with stool washing. Ha! This was what happened around 12.30 am last night. You slept earlier at 8 pm. Thus, woke up and mingled around for 2 hours during midnight. And, this was something interesting to do in the middle of the night. Hahahahahaha……
I supposed you like your new standing stool so much! Anyway, We both had fun! You were so cute!
Also, mummy like this style of creativity. You are encourage to do so. As if you can find something to do with the household stuffs everyday, mummy will definitely save lots of money from buying toys. Hahahahaha……
You spent lots of time playing with this beautiful little town on Sunday. First you help Sue to build it. Then, you took out your little princess dolls, dress them up and make them dancing, walking and hanging around this beautiful town.
Besides, mummy, granny and uncle Bill took you to shopping at Tesco and also took turn to swim with you on last Saturday. You really enjoyed swimming. Hopefully you learn how to swim soon from uncle Bill.
All these activities actually make a great balance to the hours you spent on the electronics at home. Just nice! Somehow, you told daddy in the phone that mummy only went jogging with you while he was away. That was what granny did while mummy and daddy were both in Spain 2 weeks ago.
Oh! I got it! I just slide down a bit from the driver seat, then my feet will get to reach mummy’s car break or the petrol step. Hooray! Then, I move the steering with my hands like I always did. But… The car is still not moving.
Luckily, I still got my mini car.
Yeah… You got a better car, baby! Of course! Driving my small little car need no petrol, servicing, roadtax or driving license. I just move it with my own two feet. Simple! When it breaks down, I don’t even need a tol truck too. I can certain carry it with my own two hands. LOL! And, I don’t even need to spend a single cent on cheap auto insurance. How about that? Perfect aye? Hahahahaha…………
Sunday, we went to Queensbay Mall. Daddy, mummy and granny were busy shopping for CNY clothes. Where as I got my favorite Auntie Anne’s almond pretzel. Mmm…… Yum! Yum! I enjoyed all the CNY decorations and the 24 seasons drum show. So cool! Oh! There is a nice bridge too. Let’s cross the bridge.
Mummy:”Do you want to take a picture on the bridge, baby?”
Liz:”Sure.” *Nod nod*
Mummy:” How about some cute post?”
Here you go!
Wow! Excellent!
Liz:”Mummy, I want to do the Gong Xi Gong Xi decorations at home, ok? It’s so nice.”
Mummy:”Sure, baby.”
Liz:”I will help you, ok?” (That’s what she always said recently)
I told daddy and mummy I want to go to beach. Mummy said she is busy. Blogging? Not again!
Then, daddy told me he got headache. He need to sleep for a while. Oh! Please play with me, daddy. It surely is the best migraine treatment. Don’t sleep! Don’t leave me alone! (Hahahahaha……What a Sunday!)
Fine! I can play on my own.
How about that? I am story linking for these flash cards. It’s fun!
Wow! I found some colorful home decoration cards. Cool! Let’s create a story for them too, ok? Ha!
Am I a good girl, mummy?
Absolutely. We love you, baby. And, daddy and mummy would like to say:”Sorry”. It’s ok, mummy. Thanks for clearing and keeping back all the cards for me. Is that a punishment?
Yesterday, mummy and you spend the whole day together. Another previous time for 2 of us. Mummy like it! You followed mummy to bank, electrical shop (SEC), Gurney Plaza, and Tesco. You learn how to use or shall I say press the ATM machine, and you did it gently. Then, you tried every dress that mummy asked you to try. Thus, you got 2 more new dresses now. Mummy just can’t resist the sales. Yet, Poney always fits you best.
I know you don’t really like it now. Trust me! It’s very nice. So dainty. Sooner or later, you will love it, especially when everyone started to praise it. Hehe!
You keep nodding your head when mummy asked you weather you like this dress or not. I knew it before I asked, as this umbrella type of dress which can be wide open when you dance and turnaround is always your favorite.
You also wanted to go to Penguin (Puku) shop at Gurney Plaza. But, you agreed to leave together with mummy when I told you we had no time to go to that shop anymore. Very good girl!
Eventually, you said you want to go to Tesco playground. Alright! Since that’s the last stop before we went home. Mummy brought you to the playground for 30 minutes. Wow! Playground is still the best place for you to kill your time. But, I am thinking may be tomorrow we can visit the public library.
Hopefully, you truly enjoy your holiday and work hard in school by next year.
Mummy:”Liz, later mummy bring you to meet a “jie jie” in a hotel. You make new friend and play with “jie jie”, ok?
Liz:”No……I stay with daddy, you go, ok?”
Mummy:” You can go swimming too. Want?”
Liz:” No……”
Mummy:”Er… How about I bring you to see baby? You like baby, isn’t it? You can play with 2 babies there, want to join me?”
Liz:” Ok.”
So we went to Gurney Hotel at 5pm after we finished visiting your favourite pet shop. You were a bit shy initially. But, you were happily playing with the 2 babies after a while. Actually, they are not babies anymore. They already 17 months old. Hehe……
Then, we went to the pool to meet up with Qiqi and his daddy. You just can’t wait to get into the pool once you see the water slides. Yes! You can get wet, as you still have spare clothes. But not mummy.
Liz:”Mummy please go in with me.”
Mummy:”Sorry, baby. I can’t.”
You were sitting beside the pool for quite a long time. Keep nagging about wanted daddy to play the slide together with you. Unfortunately, daddy was not with us at that time.
Mummy:”How about you let uncle slide down together with you? Let uncle take care of you, ok?”
You quickly nod your head once you heard this suggestion. On the spot, mummy quickly bought a float for you. Then, you started enjoying yourself with “jie jie” and her dad.
Wow! This is the first time you were not afraid of strangers. Thanks to the slide. And, Qiqi’s daddy was such a nice uncle. He just keep sliding with you upon your request. Daddy are you jealous? Hahahaha….. Mummy was so grateful. Luckily, you did say thank you uncle before we leave.
As mummy went back to the hotel again later at night just to pass something to Auntie Chinnee, you were shouting aloud that you want to go down with me this time.
Daddy seems taking us to Jazz Concert on the 5th of December. But, mummy still not yet buy the ticket. I know I should do it as soon as possible. As this is something new to you. Thus, it could be interesting, right?
Just stay at this plan first, can we? I know you wish we are in Hong Kong Disneyland now. But, Hong Kong seems cold now. And, even someone is going to sell motorhome for us now, we still can’t go round West Malaysia cause you are having runny nose again.
I guess this holiday is meant for you to rest for a longer period. Mummy got to really watch your health from now onwards. Thus, you are forced to take this Scott’s Emulsion everyday since today. Thank you so much for your cooperation. Hehe……
By the way, thanks to Kak Sue for making a nice flower to you by using play dough today.
So nice! Did you learn up how to do it? Luckily you still have holiday art and craft session at home. Like it?
And, you should always let Kak Sue tie your hair. Even a simple tie of ribbon like this can makes you look so lovely. Somehow, daddy might not agree with mummy. Isn’t it, daddy? Hahahaha……
I told you we were shopping at Penang Hard Rock Hotel. This was where we were for lunch last Saturday on the 10th of October.
When we drove around the Cafe, Liz saw something and voice out loudly.
Liz:” Micheal Jackson!” What? Mummy quickly turn around. Very observant! It is Micheal Jackson.
So, mummy wanted to take picture for Elizabeth and MJ as we walked out from the Cafe after we had our meal.
Liz:”I want daddy carry!” I thought you like MJ!
So, this is it. Not the real MJ. But, a big white statue of MJ. And, may be the statue is kind of scary to little ones. Anyway, baby Elizabeth did had a great time. ( Yeah… It can be hotel, it can be the cinema in the dark or any metal buildings, she will be happy as long as daddy and mummy are hanging out with her. )
Well, the food was suck! But, nice environment! Precious outing! As we had daddy, mummy, “mama”, “ah cho” and little Elizabeth. It’s good to have something new in Penang. Hehe……
First time ever. Three of us all together in Hard Rock T. Wonderful memory!
Mummy and some other mummies of Elizabeth’s friends planned to have a lantern party at the public garden near by our house yesterday night specially for the Mid Autumn Festival. Little Elizabeth was looking forward for it. She loves party. She also asked for the animal shape lantern. So, mummy drove out before noon to get her one.
Liz:”Wow! Unicorn!” As soon as she saw it after she wake up from the afternoon nap.
Mummy:”Nice, aye?”
Liz:” Nice! But, I want Dinosaur!”
Mummy:”There is no Dinosaur.”
Liz:” ……”
Then, we go shopping somewhere around 5pm. By 8pm, daddy said:” Outside is raining.” So no choice. We called the party off . :( But, continue shopping. Hehe……
So, let’s light up the “unicorn” tonight!
Little Elizabeth was kind of excited. But only for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, she said it was hot. So, daddy helped her to hang it high up.
After that, she enjoyed talking, jumping, dancing and playing with shadows. Mummy’s shadow, daddy’s shadow, her own shadow and the colorful lantern’s shadow.
After all, there is no rule saying that we must carry the lantern and walk around. Hahahaha……
We go no where this weekend as mummy is kind of sick. So sorry, baby. But still, she attended music lesson. And, it’s the 8th month in Chinese Lunar Calendar. So, teacher gave all the children a lantern when they finished class.
Liz:” It’s Orange.”
Mummy:” Yeah… It’s orange lantern. we will light it up tonight, ok?”
Liz:”Ok.”
As we reached home at noon……
Liz:”Mummy, I want to play lantern.”
Mummy:”If we light it up now, we can hardly see the light, wait until the sky is dark ok?”
Liz:”ok.”
By evening……
Liz:”Mummy,dark already.”
Mummy:”Huh? You mean the sky is dark already?”
Liz:”Mm! The sky dark already.”
Mummy(laughing) :”Now it’s only 6pm, baby. Wait for while, ok?”
Liz:”Ok.”
Again, she said it’s dark already by 7pm. Then, repeat another few more times before the sky really turn dark around 8pm.Hahahaha…… So cute!
And, yes! Finally, she had a wonderful time playing the little orange lantern.
Kind of excited at the beginning, holding the lantern, walking around happily.
Got a hole on the lantern after a while as she dropped the lantern on the floor once.
Eventually, she asked daddy to take it for her as the stick was getting hot.
Nowadays, she wants to go to “Jie Jie” school, when she passed by mummy’s ex secondary school. And, do all what the adults are doing during her free time including putting daddy’s old lap top and the old telephone on her table and start working like daddy. Taiping on the keyboard and talking on the phone. Sometimes, there is even writing on papers.
Besides, she could be a perfect future home maker. Have a look!
How about that? Another imitation from the adults. Girls are girls. Loves all these cleaning stuffs so much. And also cooking. I guess soon the day will come where she will go for facial treatments, start wearing high heels, taking diet pills, and talking about handsome boys too. LOL!
Mummy promised you will never feel bored at home. There is always something new. And…
This is what little Elizabeth get other than revising with some home made computer flash cards and watching cartoons. You were counting with them, other than just hanging them all on your neck, honey! And, we were having fun by organized a “Fashion Show” specially by Elizabeth in the room last night before we go to bed. You were busy cat walking, putting on the colorful and shimmering necklaces, and also pretend changing all colors of beautiful dresses in a hiding place. Hahaha…… So lovely!
In fact, she was also attended her first art lesson yesterday.
Next Monday is a public holiday again. Thinking of what’s the best plan for you, baby. How about picnic by the beach? I doubt daddy will like it.
Or you actually wish to go back to this place?
Yeah… At first, you enjoyed cooking alone in the nice and big kitchen. So, do you miss the Adventure Zone? Mummy knows I must blog more about this first time experience in this wonderful playground.
That’s the new way of sliding that Elizabeth learned from another Jie Jie!
So, that’s the toddlers area. But, you insisted to try something more challenging!
Really thanks to all the ko ko and jie jie who practically offered to take care of you in the playground that day. Mummy can see they are trying thier best to please you. They are really nice. I guess that’s why you said:”Go hotel playground. She wants to play with Jie Jie and Ko Ko.” on the next day.
Alright! It’s “she” wants to play. Not “I”, right? It’s always “she” when little Elizabeth means “I”. Hahaha……
But, they had went back to KL, my dear. So sorry!
Don’t worry! Mummy will make sure you have another fun weekend in this coming Saturday and Sunday. And, I am still scratching my head thinking what it supposed to be. LOL!
Despite the scary H1N1, we went to cinema for G.I. JOE. Mummy really don’t know what am I thinking too. Totally stop this little cheeky from school, but bring her to the crowded cinema. LOL! Daddy said school children always sick, and they will still play together closely even they are sick. So, sickness can be easily spread among school children. Sounds true also.
Anyway, this is your first movie in the cinema, baby! And, you enjoyed it. Just that you were shivering when you saw the men were being injected on the face, suffred then turned ugly. So sorry! Hehe…
Also, you did asked for milk about the end of the show. But, your milk was left with kak Su who was shopping in the mall. Again… So sorry, dear! Somehow, You still sit still until the end of the show. That’s very thoughtful!
And, I think you did enjoyed the big screen in the cinema. As you said you want to go to the cinema again. The darkness seems ok to you. And, you really stick on the chair, not really talking, just kind of concentrate. Well done, darling! Daddy is so proud of you!
Last Saturday, little Elizabeth really had fun at the Kodomo Lion’s roadshow in Queen’s Bay Mall. Mummy and daddy even have to stand for the hungriness just to let her complete a body art. She loves face painting. She wants to be “Spiderman”. Gosh! Do you really understand the meaning of girl? Hahaha……
Liz:” Mummy, I want to paint the face like “Spiderman”.”
Mummy:” Er… How about you pretend to be the lion over there and mummy take picture for you?”
Look! She even got a little purple balloon bear. Thanks to the clown.
By the way, you don’t have to pretend. You are a real “lion”, my dear. A fearful little naughty! LOL!
And, daddy only allowed the painting to be done on her little hand. So, she got a pink butterfly on her right hand that day.
That’s a great weekend. Hopefully, this coming weekend has something interesting for her too before daddy goes to Lumut from Monday to Wednesday.
Yeah… why blow? If anything is too hot, just put in some ice. And, normally she will go to the wall, pretending she is getting some ice from the fridge. Hahaha……
Mummy realized her imagination can run really wild these days. So cute!
Today, this little cheeky suddenly interested in being a chef. She has been cooking and making coffee for hours. Cooking with real beans, plastic materials and play dough since she came home from school, also after she woke up from her afternoon nap. As what we saw in the video, she even sing along. So enjoyable.
How come suddenly so into cooking? But, it’s good! As this might mean there will be someone willing to cook for the family in the future, even without the maid. Well, as long as you are willing to cook, mummy promised the kitchen will be redesign anytime exactly as what pleases you. Be it glass tile, stained glass or granite. Hahahaha……
And, she said:” Horse poop poop, cao cao (smelly in Hokkien).” when mummy showed her the horse stools. Hahaha……
Thanks to Penang Turf Club open days. At least, Elizabeth has an enjoyable weekend. At first, she said:” Go pet shop.” But, once she saw horses in the Penang Turf Club, she was happy with it. At least she get a chance to see the real horse carriage, pony, donkey and horses.
Little Elizabeth enjoyed the funny clown shows too. However, it’s really hot. Thus, it just isn’t fun for daddy, mummy, grandma, and grandauntie. So, we went home without exploring the pony ride and horse jumping show.
In fact, Elizabeth cheeks were burning. So that’s enough. Let’s go home, baby!
Later, we visited the Penang International Flower Exhibition once again.
See… I am so sticky and tired.
Wow…Cool! At least I feel better. Not so hot anymore.
She surely had fun spending some precious time together with her favorite grand auntie too.
Daddy said:” I want to see her skating.” (It’s been some time daddy never join us in the playground.)
Alright! Here you go.
LOL! Please roll! Mummy is taking video, you don’t have to post. Hahahaha……
Anyway, at least she is sliding on her own. Yeah… But, it’s still like walking. Hahaha……
May be mummy should buy a pair of skates and show her how to roll like the wind. Do you want to join us, daddy?
To this little one, playground time is precious. If it’s at home, she enjoys digging out mummy’s necklaces, diamond rings, make ups, skin cares,bras and even sanitary pads. And, mummy get a shock when she was trying to show mummy how to use the sanitary pad. OMG! Hahaha……
Last weekend, we go no where but only stay at home besides sending little Elizabeth to Kinder Beat. Daddy and mummy knew she was kind of boring. So, we finally spend an hour on the beach upon request. This lovely princess loves beach.
But last weekend, we had wonderful time in “Poh Poh” and “Gong Gong” house.
Cool! Mummy’s future pianist! Ops… she can even become a composer. As composing music becomes so easy with the help of laptop computer and the software used to compose music. Hahaha……
Look at this girl. She loves garden, if mummy has no time to bring her to the big playground. She enjoys picking dry sticks and fruits which dropped down from the tree. She will also looks for ants, snails and butterflies. But, most of the time she will hocked up with dozens of mosquitoes and got bit. Poor girl!
Well, she likes to run, dance and exercise in the compound of the house too.
Ladies and gentlemen, Hip Hop!
Yeah… Very adventurous! Daddy keep mentioning on more outings for this little cheeky.Mummy suggest the zoo or aquarium, best if it’s Singapore’s zoo. Daddy might want to bring her to the dinosaur exhibition in Mid Valley as dinosaur is her favorite now.
Well, may be this little girl likes something closer to the nature or a real adventure such as rv camping.
In her play school, there is a sand pool. She can have fun with sand play in her school now. However, mummy still bring her to the beach last Sunday. Our initial plan was to fly kite by the beach. We made it! Our kite fly so high. But, little Elizabeth was not interested at all.
Oh! Give me my plastic spade and any container. I want to play with sand.
See…… I am good at scoping sand now.
Wow! Kakak build nice sand castles.
Ops! Don’t step on my sand castles!
Let’s get nearer to the water.
Wooow… I better run! The wave is coming!
Not bad, aye? Quite quick! Knows how to run away from wave even without any warning such as emergency lights or mummy emergency call. Hehe……
It’s so fun being with this little playful cheeky now!
So, this is the 3D puzzle — the Christmas gift from “Santa Clause”. Ha! But, It’s still unfix. Elizabeth is not interested at all. LOL! May be she likes something more hi tech like PS3. Hehe……
So what she did in Christmas?
Yeah… She had a wonderful Christmas dancing and singing along with Barbie, enjoyed the lighting and Christmas tree decoration at home with a Christmas cake which allow her to blow the candle like what she did in her birthday.
Not bad, aye? And, good news! Little Elizabeth had once again recovered from fever and flu.
That bottle! Can you pick up for me, uncle Bill? I don’t like to walk! Hahaha…….
Give me? Er… your mum said it’s dirty! So… No! Oh… Give it to me! *Almost weeping*
Oh! She is sporty! She is so cute! I know what you are going to say. “She looks exactly like a boy in short and shirt. ” I know! But, it’s still cute, right? Hahaha……
At this age, if daddy is the fans of Hard Rock T, baby got to wear Hard Rock baby T. She will be wearing Festina watches too, if it’s one of mummy’s collection. And, it’s not a problem at all. She is glad to have things like mummy and daddy. As she is at her Imitation age!
By the way, these photos were taken 2 weeks ago. Mummy is thinking may be we can get back to this beach behind Tanjung Bungah Hotel real soon. I like the seashells there. So many species. What do you think, baby?
Mummy is glad baby Elizabeth no longer afraid of the sand. At least she is willing to get down and running around the beach with her shoes on. Good start!
Daddy is sick. So, only somewhere around the town. But, even visiting a park like Botanical Garden is fun to little Elizabeth. Alright. Let’s go to Botanical Garden then.
Dog, Mi!
And, there’s a stage!
Ladies and gentlemen! A loud applause for The Odette Of “Swan Lake”.
Watch me, D…
What a graceful performance! Bravo! But, this is the first time I saw a ballet dancer never stands with her toes! Hahahaha……
That’s Our first day of Raya Holiday.
Mummy realized this little princess quite like the feel of nature. And, she is definitely an angel on stage. Looks like you may like to join drama class, music class, dance class in the future. Huh? That’s going to keep mummy really busy, my little drama Queen!
Still, daddy is going to be so proud of his talented baby.
Raining! Raining! Raining! Heavy rain is on its way!
Elizabeth… do you still remember what have you done last weekend? We went shopping. we were at the Queensbay mall mooncake exhibition. There was nice pavilion. You even sat on its stairs to finish your Ribena.
Excuse me… Can I take my Ribena here? Just a minute, k?
Ah…… It’s done. Yum! Yum!
But, no one can take my Ribena away from me!
So cute! By the way, we bought lanterns, so many lanterns home. So, do you enjoy “watching” lanterns, baby? Sorry that you are not allow to touch the lanterns. Mummy afraid you will get burned.
Alright! If I can’t touch, then I’ll just blow them off! Hahaha…..
That was last Sunday night. We all enjoy that night, especially little Elizabeth. She really laugh and play the whole night long. But, not much picture has been took. As mummy need to take care of her. All because of daddy’s phone calls. Stop ringing, will you! LOL!
So, this is all about our mini mooncake party without mooncake. Hahahaha……
Today, there was no special outing for little Elizabeth. That’s because she was still sick. Since Thursday, she got secondary throat infection after she recovered from Coxsackie. Thus, poor Liz is still taking medicine now!
And, Mummy stop taking her to the bookshop this week. Tomorrow, she is not going to attend music circle too. But, it’s ok. Mummy can arrange other activities for her at home. Mummy, daddy and Elizabeth actually enjoyed watching movies together at home this afternoon.
Tomorrow, may be we can play “bubble gun” in the garden, or do some coloring at home. Mummy enjoyed coloring pictures together with Elizabeth. We started this activity about a month ago. As mummy realized more hands on activity is good for babies’ brain development.
This is Liz’s work. I think she did a great job for her age. As she can hold her pencil properly and keep changing colors.
Sometimes, she can even focus on the object quite well like how she centered all the colors on the dinosaur above. And, mummy will always help her to fill up the pictures with nice and proper coloring bit by bit after she finished coloring. Just as what I did to the dinosaur head. Nice, isn’t it?
Mummy feels is good to show her how to color nicely. Hopefully more good examples and more practices will help to slowly improves her coloring skills. Mummy believes soon she can even make beautiful cards like the Quinceanera invitations for mummy and daddy. We should never underestimate a child’s intelligence.
Mummy supposed to bring baby Elizabeth to the bookshop again today. That’s her initial education plan — learn at the bookshop once a week. However, mummy is not sure weather I can make it today. Never mind. We can still go on Saturday and Sunday.
Last Sunday, we were at the Bird Park. Little Lizzy did enjoyed herself.
See… she really likes water, didn’t she? Thanks to”Kakak”. She nearly fell into the pond. That was close!And, daddy is lucky because he gets something like this while mummy was taking picture for them at the Bird Park. At least, She grin.
But, this is what happened when Liz is taking photo with mummy.
Smile please, my dear…
Anyway, mummy believes this is another good way to educate little Lizzy. At least she saw the real owl, not just the picture in the book. But, it’s rather obvious that butterflies are still her best friends. She is more excited at the Butterfly Farm.
May be we should blame the Sea Eagle. Lizzy is scared of its “voice”. “Shoo… Shoo…” Go away you scary sea eagle! Hahahaha……
Oh! Finally, I saw so many real butterflies flying in the air, and standing on the flowers. They are beautiful! They seems dancing all the time instead of flying. Shall I catch them? Oh! No? Alright, then I’ll just dance with them! :PElizabeth really had a great time at the Butterfly farm last Saturday. Daddy suggested we should visit it again since our girl like these butterflies so much! hehe…
Anyway, Elizabeth enjoy walking around this small farm. It is really a good place for toddlers to hang around. My little princess just can’t stop hopping for joy too until she was so tired. But still, she refused to go home. Oh! Please, baby. Let’s go home. Mummy will treat you with fantastic massage therapy, ok?
Mumm feels great by getting a chance to educate little Elizabeth in such real and natural environment. She finally also saw the real turtle, squiral, scorpio, iguana, beetle, Japanese Koi, Mandarin duck and caterpillar too.
It’s Saturday again. Daddy and mummy will surely plan something and get out together with our little princess every weekends, be it Saturday, Sunday or both. hehe…
But, Elizabeth seems enjoyed this Friday night too. Last night, we were at Golden Sand Resort. At first, she were quite clingy and shy. So, mummy and daddy were quite disappointed. We thought may be this place is not her cup of tea.
Later, she did keep herself busy with the stairs.
Ultimately, She even dance along with the music in the middle of the crowd.
Last Sunday, we were enjoying our lunch at E & O Hotel. Mummy and daddy didn’t really enjoy the food there. Baby likes the potato chips though.
Elizabeth enjoys wide spacing and windy environment especially with water around, be it fountain, sea or pool. So, She did enjoyed herself at E & O. Running here and there non stop! Looks like beautiful and comfortable environment is also very important for toddlers.
Anyway, mummy and daddy had a great time too. At least, mummy managed to take photos together with my darling girl. So happy!
Baby, Smile please!
Still too bright, mummy!
Anybody switch off this terrible bright light please? hahaha…
Frankly, mummy and daddy seldom take pictures together with our little princess. Mummy is always busy snapping baby alone. And, daddy don’t even bother to touch the camera. Again, he said: ” That’s mummy’s job.”
After came back from Gurney Plaza, mummy quickly dressed her up getting her ready to attend a wedding dinner together with mummy and daddy once we reached home. Little Elizabeth was hunger for milk. She lied on her rocking chair while drinking the milk.
Immediately, she was asleep.
Wow… I don’t remember she had such beautiful pajamas?
My maid carried her at the back seat of the car. She was still sleeping in all the way to the hotel. Once we stepped down from the car, her big eyes start blinking. Great! She was awake again.
Oh! Such a nice place. I like it! Er… Where is this place actually?
That night, Elizabeth really enjoyed herself playing with balloons, clapped together with all the guests, running at the corridor, dancing on the red carpet, drinking fruit punch in the big wine glass and keep heating daddy and the maid when she don’t get what she wants. OMG! *Slap forehead*
Wow! I found my favorite! The stairs… I better be quick! Daddy is going to block me anytime.
I prefer gold. But, how am I going to take it out?
That’s what I get. Never mind. White is just nice to match my beautiful dress.
She was the one who pulled out all the balloons by the stairs holder. Should mummy be proud or ashame? Somehow, all the kids there have fun with the balloons she pulled out. She took the lead and everyone was happy. Mummy should be proud, right? hahaha…
Yesterday night, we were at Batu Ferringgi. Mummy, daddy, granny, uncle Bill and Elizabeth’s grand auntie were all taking dinner at Rasa Sayang Hotel. It was a buffet dinner. We choose that place as little Elizabeth like that place so much.
Yesterday night really was her night. As that was the first time she tried a lolly pop. It’s the sour fizzy lolly. Surprisingly, she loves that Lolly. She took about half the lolly. She was laughing and dancing while eating the lolly. Cute! Very lovely!
Besides, it was also her first time riding on a trishaw. Somehow, this little chicky fell asleep as soon as half the journey. May be she was too tired at that time as it was quite late.
Never mind. I am sure there will be next time, baby. As mummy and daddy really enjoyed the rides. Hahaha……
I actually enjoyed spending time with the kids on this mother’s day. However, it seems little Justin is no longer that naive little boy. He is quite man now! Playing rough! Boys are boys.
Poor “mei mei”! She is actually a nice girl. But, I think she has been “contaminated” as she followed exactly what her brother did. hahahaha……
Hahaha…… I manage to take out the little drawer of this toy stove.
See, I have took out another part of it. hahaha……
Oh! My toy! How am I going to fix it back?
Poor Elizabeth! It’s ok. Mummy help you to fix it back, ok?
Fun, right? Kids will surely enjoy themselves as long as there are toys. I wish I am still a kid. No work! No money! But still have everything! hahaha……
Elizabeth nowadays can fall asleep on her rocking chair. She will lay down in her chair comfortably while drinking milk and water too. I guess she really likes her chair now.
At least, she has a proper chair to rest on while watching TV. It will certainly safe her from becoming hunch back. However, will she become lazy to move around after too content to the comfort of sitting down?
Mummy want you to exercise more, girl! As mummy can’t even carry her for more than 20 minutes now. In fact, mummy likes to carry Elizabeth. But, my hands just not strong enough to sustain her weight anymore.
May be Elizabeth should join mummy and granny to use the exercise machines such as the ellipticals. Since granny already decided to buy one of the machines, so that all of us in the family can exercise at home conveniently.
Once baby Elizabeth lost weight, may be mummy can carry her longer.
It’s weekend. But, little Elizabeth still got no chance to go out since yesterday. Mummy feels bad. But, yesterday mummy and daddy just can’t bring her together as we went to the hospital. Then, she was asleep while we were going out to dinner.
Daddy is busy today. He went for appointments. Since little Elizabeth enjoyed herself so much while hanging at the playground at Gurney Plaza, may be mummy should bring her to the playground later.
She really had so much fun at the playground before!
We will wait until daddy is free. Then, may be we can have better plans such as cruising along with one of the carnival cruises.
Since Elizabeth has recovered from her flu, mummy wondered are we going to shopping again this weekend? Even if it’s a window shop, my little shopping queen just won’t mind too!
Last Saturday, Elizabeth was enjoying herself at Gurney Plaza.
LOL! Are you stepping on someone’s eyes? Look down, girl! Didn’t you see that big eye? hahaha……
This is colorful. Lovely! “Mummy do you want to join me?” (Yeah… Thanks to MAC make up road show. This is one of the colorful bean bags placing on the floor of its booth.)
My girl is a shopping queen. She loves shopping. Almost every week she will at least get a chance to visit one of the shopping mall in Penang.
Mummy and daddy like to see my girl smile and laugh while hanging in the shopping mall. She became very excited and active as she entered the mall. May be there is always so many things to see and touch in the shopping mall.
After all, kids learn when they see something. Elizabeth got a chance to feel whatever she touch too! At least not as boring as reading ABC.
Daddy likes to play rough with his little princess. Guys are guys! But, Elizabeth is a girl. I think it’s not advisable to play rough with her. A girl has to be feminine.
However, Elizabeth has learn to kick the ball recently. As her hair is still quite short, she looks exactly like a boy while kicking the ball. Oh, mummy is a bit worried! I hope it’s still possible for her to grow up into a graceful lady.
Anyway, she likes to play football with daddy. And, she really kick so well. But only with her right leg. She just don’t know how to kick with her left leg. Still, daddy is so proud of her. I think by the time she can do it well with her left leg, daddy might even considered awarding her soccer trophies. LOL!
When mummy first let Elizabeth try her new chair at the shop, she seems not interested as she was crying for milk at that time. Oh! My poor girl was hungry. So, it’s normal to neglect the new toy. That’s what in mummy’s mind at that moment.
Mummy is confident that my girl is going to like the new chair. After all, It’s a very cute and colorful baby chair. As we brought the chair home last Saturday night, Elizabeth refused to sit in it. Mummy feel nervous at that moment.
“What if she does not like it at all? That’s quite expensive.”
However, mummy feel very consoling within hours. As my baby started to enjoy this cute little baby chair with her baby.
Baby… Baby… Nice chair right?
Twinkle, Twinkle little stars, How I wonder, What you are?
Oh, Turn Over, baby! I am going to protect you from this shocking snap shot lightning!
Last Saturday, mummy, daddy and Elizabeth were praying at The Goddess of Mercy Temple ( Kuan Yin Teng) Penang. This is one of the most famous historical buildings in Penang.
And, mummy seems never brought her there. This should be the first time little Elizabeth visited this highly auspicious temple. As she already learn how to pray with both palms close together — “Pai Pai”, she will “Pai Pai” whenever she was asked to do so. Good girl! May God bless you!
Mummy likes the idea of daddy that take the initiative to free the birds together with little Lizzy. Buddhism believes “Thou shall not kill”, and it’s good karma to free the animals instead of killing them. Thus, there is a stall outside the “Kuan Yin Teng” selling birds in the cage to promote this idea.
I don’t quite agree with the seller. They are not supposed to make this a business. However, it’s good to show Elizabeth that we should free the birds instead of killing or catching them.
Mummy really think Elizabeth has enough exercise as she is walking, jumping, dancing all day long, unless she fell asleep. And, she even likes to raise her leg high, when mummy tell her: “Legs up…”. That’s a good exercise too, right? hehehe
Look at her big thigh. Big, aye? Is this the consequences of over exercise?
I think it’s our gene. Mummy is not fat but used to have big fat thigh too. And, her “kuku” thighs seems big too. LOL! In this case, how to escape? hahahaha……
Mummy confirmed that we are going to KL together this Saturday. Yippie!
Mummy will bring “kakak” together to KL too. As kakak will be the one who is going to take care of me when mummy and daddy go dinner at Saturday night. Elizabeth will have to stay with kakak in the hotel room.
Somehow, mummy is confident that little Elizabeth will be very happy to travel together with mummy, daddy and kakak. Granny was grumbling that 2 days 1 night trip is too tiring for Elizabeth. And, it’s dangerous to leave baby and kakak in the hotel room by themselves.
But, daddy insists this will be a fun family trip. So, may be mummy can leave my mobile phone for kakak so that she can call daddy up, if anything happen while we are away. And, I need a player for Elizabeth to play her Barney or Brainy Baby DVDs in the hotel room. This is to make sure she won’t get bored and cry in the room.
Of course, mummy will bring along some toys and books too. Do you think this is enough to keep little Lizzy busy? Any other suggestions, please?
Daddy also promise that if we have time, we will visit the Zoo Negara. That’s the special program for Elizabeth. Mummy is pretty sure that little Elizabeth loves to meet the tiger, monkey and elephant in the zoo.
Daddy seems want to bring my little princess to Kuala Lumpur.
“Daddy, are you sure?”
Daddy and mummy is going to attend the Manulife Award Presentation Dinner, which held in Kuala Lumpur on the 22nd March. Since it is just a 2 days 1 night trip, daddy thought may be we can give it a try and make it the first long distance vacation trip for Elizabeth. She will be very happy that she can finally travel together with mummy and daddy.
Frankly, mummy have no confidence at all on making sure baby Elizabeth will not cry when she has to be in the car for more than 4 hours. However, mummy is kind of excited. Mummy plan to bring the maid along to help along. That sounds much better, isn’t it?
There are so many things I need to get prepared, including which are the places should we visit when we are there. Zoo? Which toy or what book to bring along? What are the food that I should prepare for Elizabeth? Bread? Biscuits? Plain Rice? Fish balls? Should I get a new luggage specially for baby Elizabeth too? I should bring more pants and shirts for Elizabeth, or more dresses?
Somehow, this is not the final decision. Mummy might decide to give up this idea. As mummy is thinking of reserving this trip as the romantic moment for 2. Oh! I am still very uncertain.
I am reading magazines almost everyday. And, I loves fashion magazines. Yes! I admitted that I am so vain. I can read more than 20 minutes sometimes. Of course, I can’t just sit straight for that long. So, I will change my sitting position to sort of laying down while I am still flipping the magazines.
Am I flipping it too hard? No… not possible. May be these are low quality, thin paper. Ya! That’s why it tears…
Somehow, I never lay down while reading. Mummy says, ” That’s bad your my eyesights, girl!”
“You better sit straight up while reading, so that you have less chances to wear spectacles.”
“You hate spectacles, don’t you?”
“Of course! I only like sunglasses! As wearing sunglasses is so stylish (Check it out here). But, spectacles makes mummy, daddy and granny look so ugly and funny. So not for me, please… ”
I assume bring babies to wedding ain’t easy at all. As I have twice the experiences of bringing Elizabeth to the wedding and I still can’t handle it well.
I still remembered when Elizabeth attend the first wedding dinner, she was only few months old. She was very upset once the hall was full of loud music and applauses. In fact, when she was baby, she will be frighten away whenever she heard the loud applause. I end up carrying her outside until she fell asleep. LOL!
The last time I bring her to a wedding dinner was during the CNY time. Now she has turn 1, thus she actually clap together whenever all the guest making a big applause. Oh! That’s absolutely cute! And, she loves all those beautiful wedding flowers displayed all around the hall.
But, this time she was playing with chopstick, spoon, plate, straw, and worst still glass. So, she cried as I took away these “toys”. So, daddy got to carry her away from the table as well.
It’s kind of tough, isn’t it? I wonder how all my mummy friends here cope with it?
Better don’t challenge her. I kept very quiet and stopped crying. LOL!
