I am sliding with Uncle

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 30, 2009

Last Friday……

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 Qiqiย  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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

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. ๐Ÿ˜›

Let’s go Book “Share”

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 27, 2009

Mummy:” Do you want more books, little book worm? How about we go to book fair later?”

Liz:” Ya. Ya. Ya. I want to go book “share”. ”

Mummy:” Oh, dear! It’s Book “fair”, baby.”

Liz:” Book f…air.”

Mummy:” Yeah… Book fair. Let’s go!” :)

So, we hopped into the car about 4.50pm and reached the Popular Year End Clearance Book Fair at One Stop Shopping Mall on 5.10pm. Then as we look around……

Liz:” Mummy, I think I like this.”

Liz:”Mummy, I want this one.”

Mummy:”Ok. Ok. How about some IQ games?”

Liz:” Yes! Yes!”

The basket seems getting heavier and heavier. Finally, this is it!

You were so happy of course. But, mummy nearly empty my purse. In fact, mummy had took a few choices out to sustain some reserves for parking. Hahahaha……

So do you love me? I still remembered you said:” Daddy, come and watch TV with me, because I love you!” That’ was few days ago. That doesn’t sounds like a book worm at all. That’s street smart! And, I like it! ๐Ÿ˜‰

As long as it is comfortable and nice

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 25, 2009

I am ready to go out now. How is my new sandals? Well, I love it so much. Yeah… And, I need a space for my new sandals please…… :)

Mummy likes this attitude. As even it is not Crocs, you still precious it so much. Like mother like daughter. We wear comfortable shoes like Nike, Crocs or Naot. But you still appreciate any shoes without strong branding like this pair of sandals which mummy bought from the night market, as long as it is comfortable and nice. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Keep it up. It’s a good practice. ๐Ÿ˜›

School Christmas Party (Part 1)

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 24, 2009

Mummy has yet to post your concert’s videos and pictures. Thanks to your school’s special organization of this Christmas party. We really had a great time eating and socializing together with the kids on the 15th November.ย  :)

So, how about some early Christmas songs which you sang loudly that day?

Opah, baby! In fact, everyone of you on the stage were so relax. Children can’t lie. Obviously, mummy had send you to the right school. A school that full of love and encouragement. And, you seem belongs to the stage. I still remember you were the loudest, when everyone of you took turn to stand alone and introduce yourself. Mummy really don’t mean to be snobbish. But you really made me feel so proud. :)

Luckily you still have holiday art and craft session at home

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 23, 2009

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?ย  ๐Ÿ˜‰

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……

School Birthday Party (Part 3)

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 21, 2009

ย Finally, mummy will let the pictures do all the talking. The very precious moment to you. Time to distribute the party packs to your friends. ๐Ÿ˜›

Let’s hug hug, Hou Chun!

Well done! Here you go. This is your party pack. :)

Excuse me, Kamail. I want Nathan! Hahahaha……

Mum! This is my Nathan! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ( Looks like Nathan is one of your best friend too, right? Hahaha……)

Thanks for joining my party, Genny!

Zhi Ying, you are always my best friend!

Thanks to auntie Joanne. See you next year! ๐Ÿ˜›


I got my party pack too, Daddy! ๐Ÿ˜›

Alright! Children, line up and go back to your class now. So this is how your 3rd birthday party ends. :)

Birthday Party (Part 2)

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 20, 2009

Mummy has quite a lot of pictures to put up in your blog and has quite a lot to tell too. Thus, I decided to separate the video from the photos.

First, I wish you still remember that you had a beautiful “Strawberry Shortcake” birthday cake for your 3rd birthday even after many years later. She supposed to represent you as a sweet little girl.

It’s so lovely to see you smiling sweetly while you first starring at the cake. It’s your own choice after all. Hehe……

And, you have all your classmates to celebrate together with you.

You seems enjoyed cutting the cake too. So, are you ready to distribute it to your friends now? :)

Alright! Gently put it on the table. This is the way you serve you friend. :)

I thought Hou Chun is one of your close friend. How come you were not looking at him while serving the cake to him? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Your friend said:”Thank you. You should reply :”Welcome.”, ok? That’s good manner. ๐Ÿ˜›

Ops… she said:”No, Thank you.” So, can you pass it to other friend? :)

Finally, it’s my turn to eat the cake. Mmm… Yum! Yum!

Mummy appreciates this culture of your school so much. This is a great way to learn courtesy.

Well, some of them just can’t wait to get the cake, some said “No. Thank you.” . And, many has enjoyed the cake so much just like you. Some had take away the berries. And, some just keep asking for more and more.

And just when I thought this group of cake lovers might need some appetite suppressants to avoid over eating, all of us heard the 2 magic words — “Party pack”. Once teacher said come and sit down here to get your party pack, they just drop the spoon, leave the plates aside and sit down on the floor in no time. Obviously, party pack is more attractive than cake to these little ones. :)

To be continue……

Birthday Party at School (Part 1)

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 20, 2009

Daddy just can’t wait to see this. Yesterday was the first time you celebrate your birthday in school. Even though you seems so cool. Why are you not smiling?

Also, you blow the candles straight away after the English version Happy Birthday song. May it be you just can’t wait to blow the candles and cut the cake? As you keep starring at the cake while your friends were still singing the Malay and Chinese version Birthday song for you. LOL!

Anyway, the answer was a load and clear “Yes”, when mummy asked you weather you enjoyed the birthday party or not. I am happy to hear that. ๐Ÿ˜›

Thanks to your teacher and friends for the arrangement and participation too. :)

Busy filling up Goody bags

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 18, 2009

Today, you are really busy.

So this is what kept you so busy today. You were busy packing the party pack, or so called goody bag for your little friends as you are the host tomorrow. You were so excited while packing. Keep asking for more things to fill up the goody bags.

As you always said, mummy, I want 4 candles. Mummy, I want airplane cake. Mummy, I want celebration. Yes! Yes! You are going to have your birthday cake, 3 birthday candles on it and a wonderful birthday celebration at school. And, you are going to distribute all these goody bags to each and every of your little classmates just as what your friend did for their birthday party before. Are you curious what’s in it? Have a look then. :)

How about that? Colored glitter pens, raisins, puddings, princess glue sticks, purses and note books, balloons, stickers, bubbles …… Lots of things but it’s kind of easy to prepare. It’s nothing if compared to the repair and replace of things in the house such as changing light bulb or washer for the water tab, repairing the toilet flash, installing water filter or ย stainless steel backsplash. As all these little goodies are ready in the mall. Mummy just have to pick and pay. Hehe……

So tomorrow is a big day even though it’s not your real birth date. But, it’s your party.ย  Have fun! Enjoy it to the fullest tomorrow, baby! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think you should say excuse me

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 17, 2009

We were at the pasar malam (night market) about 8pm just now. As we passed by a baby girl…

Liz:”Mummy! I think you knocked her. “

Mummy:”Did I? But, I didn’t feel it.”

Liz:”Ya! You knocked her. “

Mummy:”Ok. Sorry, baby.”

You get silent for a while, then…

Liz:”I think you should say excuse me to her.”

Mummy:” Oh! Ya. Mummy is kind of rude this time, right? When we knocked on someone, we should always say sorry or excuse me, right?”

 Liz:”Ya!”

Mummy:”I will remember this next time. I promised. Thanks for your advice, baby.”

Hahahahaha…… Cute aye? Very polite and very clever! I like it! Good girl. ๐Ÿ˜‰

However, the heavy rain just stopped. We were all wet as we tried to get into the car, which was few minutes walk away. Unbrella seems useless as the rain was too heavy. But, you still insist that you like raining. You said, you like to see the water flowing everywhere while raining. LOL!

Art Class 7

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 13, 2009

ย Liz:”I want to become hulk.”

Art teacher:”Huh? But, today we plan to make a Moo Moo cow, remember?”

Liz:”I want the green hulk.”

Art teacher:”Ok. We will draw a girl hulk holding the Moo Moo cow, ok?”

Liz:”Ok.”

Art teacher:”Your hulk got wear shirt or not?”

Liz:”Wear bra.”

Art teacher:”Wow! (Start laughing) Alright. Girl need to wear bra. Where did you learn this from?”

Liz… Speechless.

Since you had enough rest, mummy actually sent you to art class on yesterday’s evening upon your agreement. Bit by bit, mummy can see that your coloring skill is improving. You should be proud of yourself. It just isn’t that hard, baby! Just as you have learned how to control the movement of the mouse and keep on click click click. Looks hard initially. But, it’s so simple. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Let’s enjoy drawing, painting, dancing, singing and reading now. Even you like computer more, there will be time in the future that you can even catch up with any of the industrial computer program. But, too much computer at this age might make you future computer game maniac for sure. :(

No! No! No! Hahahaha……

You sleep until 9.30am

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 12, 2009

ย 

See… you were happily “cooking” this morning. Yes! You were not in school. As you had fever last night. So you need more rest. You sleep until 9.30am. Health is always more important. It’s kind of upset to see you keep coughing for more than 3 weeks. :(

Thus, mummy had decided that I must make you take medicine consistently at least for 1 or 2 days since this morning. As mummy don’t want any complication happen on you. At least you have to stop coughing. Yet, I want you to attend your Christmas party happily and enjoyed your own performance in this coming Sunday. :)

God bless my little princess, please……

Enjoy your meal

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 11, 2009

Today you actually wake up yourself on 8am. Gosh! I guess it never happenedย  for months. Mummy is so glad that I don’t have to hear something like:”I don’t want mummy. Go away! Go away!” and “I am tired. I want to sleep.” while I try to wake you up every morning. ๐Ÿ˜›

And, mummy is kind of happy to see you sitting on the dinner table under the ceiling fan, enjoying the black sauce fried meat with rice so much.

That’s yesterday’s dinner. Yeah… You used to love this meat or black sauce chicken and chicken feet. (Yeah… My little princess likes chicken feet.) But, you stop taking all these stuffs since last month. Now, the black meat seems yummy to you again. Just take as much as you like! More protein intake will make you grow taller.

May be mummy shouldn’t worry too much. As you still have good appetite. Look like you just want to change your taste a bit once in while when you get bored. Today, you got watercress soup. Your favorite too. And, the only vegetable that you are taking now. Enjoy your meal.ย  :)

I don’t want fish anymore

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 10, 2009

Mummy thought you like Salmon as you almost finish the whole piece last week. And, it’s quite a big pieces. So, mummy bought more today. And, spend my time minced and grilled it in the oven. Then, you eat it happily for the first and second bite. Mummy was kind of satisfied. But, as mummy was about to feed you the third small piece, you said:”I don’t want fish anymore!”ย  :(

I wondered why you hate fish so much at this age? No vegetables in any of your meal too. But these 2 types of food used to be your favorite about 6months before. So, what you want for today’s dinner? Rice and fried omelette again? Or “mee” soup? Or mushroom with rice?

You don’t even really like pork or chicken too. It’s always “mee” or rice, with omelette or mushroom. Then, once in a while you will ask for fried prawn. That’s it! Mummy is thinking hard on what am I supposed to do to make you eat more variety of food? :roll:

You are kind of busy this weekend. Busy decorating Christmas tree and busy playing with your new favorite most of the time.Well, at least you learn a lot from your new toy. And, you get to shop at home. Hehe……

Full set RM 139, not including battery.And, the shopping basket is price at RM 19 and RM 49 for a box of plastic tiny cans. Gosh! This is as posh as Ferrari parts. Luckily they all came togetherย  FOC with the cash register set. LOL!

First you learn how to operate this till including scanning the little cans and boxes with full labelingย  Then, you learn to sum up the amount as the scanning, knowing where to press to open up the cash drawer, and swapping credit card. Cool! It’s so real! :)

Then, you got money. You learn paying according to the amount shown. Collecting cash from the customers and paying back the change if necessary.

See… Even as little as 3 years old, you know how to appreciate credit cards. Hahahaha……

You really have lots of fun and gaining lots ofย  knowledge from this cash register machine.Good pick, baby! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Christmas is so nice

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 8, 2009

You were so excited when we were in the mall yesterday afternoon.

Liz:”Wow! Christmas tree!” While we passed by Laura Ashley.

Liz:”Wow! Santa Clause! (It’s a cup with Santa Clause face on it) Christmas is so nice!” ย  You straight away walked into MPH by yourself once you saw all the Christmas cups, plates, and so on displayed nicely at the front of MPH.

I get it, baby!ย  It’s time to do this.

So, this is what we did on yesterday’s late evening. Took out our Christmas tree at home and set it up.ย  ๐Ÿ˜›

You were so excited! Can’t wait to finished up all the hangings. And, you actually hanged all the balls beautifully on the bottom of the tree while mummy was busy setting up the lighting onto the tree.

Then, you said:” Mummy, I can’t reach it. It’s too high.”

Mummy:” I guess that’s it for today, baby. We will hang them bit by bit in the coming weekdays.”

Liz:”No! I want to do it now. I want to put the star on top.”

Mummy:”Alright! Mummy promises to let you put the star on top while we are going finish decorating. Just go to the bed now, ok? Mummy is so sleepy.”

Liz:”Ok.”

Gosh! I just realized that my little princess has already come to the age that can even decorate the Christmas tree on her own. So fast?

Besides, you were so happy to see the big Christmas sock. So, you have been held up high cause mummy knew that you want to hang it by yourself. Then, you were clapping and jumping for joy while mummy put up the Christmas Garlands. So sweet! Another precious memory.ย  ๐Ÿ˜›

Mummy just want you to know that Christmas mean even more to me now as I heard you laughing in your dream last night instead of crying or shouting in anger most of the time. :)

That’s it till now. There are still a lot more to be done. Welcome Christmas! :)

Let’s Disco

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 7, 2009

We went shopping again upon special request. You have spotted a cashier machine in the latest Mothercare toy’s catalog. Daddy and mummy promised to buy it for you in this weekend. So, you were so excited when we were on our way to Gurney Plaza. And, this is what happened while you have great mood and nice music.

How about that? One word. Brilliant! Even better than mummy and daddy! Mummy is so proud every time I see you dancing, shaking and moving with various styles. Your hip hop is amazing! Your Indian dance is wonderful too. And, you told mummy that you also interested in ballroom dancing. Yeah… Good choice. As you can dressed up like a princess and dance with the prince charming inย tuxedos. ๐Ÿ˜‰

And, that’s your new watch which is a gift from “Poh Poh” about 2 weeks ago. You have always wanted a watch. But, mummy just can’t find a watch that can fit your little hands. So, this is your first watch.ย  Thanks to “Poh Poh”. :)

I have entered my 36th month now…

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 6, 2009

Well, mummy almost forgot to record your monthly progress again. You has entered your 36th month 2 days ago. So, you are supposed to celebrate your 3rd birthday in the beginning of December. But, since mummy and daddy had decided to let you have the celebration in school, it has to be right before school holiday starts which is the 18th of this month. :)

So, what should mummy say about you? You don’t like coloring, be it color pencils or crayons. But, you quite enjoy painting with water colors. And, you seems can recognize a few words in your story books now. Bravia!

Somehow, you hate waking up so early in the morning. Thus, you still cry very often as we reached your school in the morning. Luckily, you never cry for long. I guess you just never like any places without mummy or daddy. Thus, all this while you are still kind of like being forced to attend school. LOL!

And, you will sing the chorus of some Hindi songs now. Yeah… you love Hindi songs, and especially like to dance with it. In fact, you have learned how to shake your bottom now. Thanks to the Hindi songs MTV.

Finally, you seems quite cooperative in terms of the time spent on TV. Only when mummy say yes! So good! Mummy get to spent more time on the plasma tvs now instead. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Hahahaha……

Art Class 6

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 5, 2009

You were absent from school yesterday. I think you need some rest. And, you start taking medicine once you realized your flu was getting serious. Thank God! Thank God that you had recovered today.

Then, you went to school happily after a fun ride on your “Happy” horse. Thank you, Happy Horse. Now, we had came back from the art class. And look!

Nice paper cat waiting to eat the big fish that has jumped out from the pond. Really very creative and nice! But it’s again more of teacher’s work. You don’t even bother to hold the crayon nicely. Looks like you have totally lost your interest for art class. Yet, mummy heard this after we had get up in the car: “I want to paint at home.”

Alright! I got it! Most probably we will stop the art class soon as mummy feels you need more rest too.

Just…Mummy feel so sorry for your teacher. She is a nice teacher. Thus, we shall keep in touch. May be you might be more than willing to attend the art class again in a few months time. It’s possible as your interest just keep changing. Even your preference of color too. Hehe……

My “Happy” Horse

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 3, 2009

Little Elizabeth was not feeling well. So, she was kind of tired on Sunday. But still, she insisted that we should go shopping. Alright! As you wish. :)

And, this is what she got after shopping.

Ready, horssie? Wait a minute. Hat, please…

Mmm… Riding along the wind. So nice!

How about some country song now?

Alright! It’s time to take out my cowboy hat and had some rest.

Oh! You must be hungry little horse, eat some grass, ok?

Ops… You poop? It’s ok. I will clean your bottom for you. (Later, little Elizabeth even gave Happy Horse a good bath.) Hahahaha……

Luckily we went shopping. So good to see her enjoying her evening so much playing happily with her “Happy Horse”. Yes! She named her cute yellow pony ” Happy”. Very appropriate! As this little horse really makes her happy. :)

And, hopping with “Happy” seems to be great exercise. Thus, it can be fantastic sleeping pills and effective weight loss pills too. It even plays an important role in calming her bad mood every morning before she goes to school. Mummy like it! Hahahaha……

Keep Coughing

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 2, 2009

Little Elizabeth got slight fever on Saturday night. Looks like it’s indigestion. As the heat subsided immediately after she vomited.ย  Poor girl! She really got phobia in taking medicine. Nowadays, as long as mummy pump some medicine into her mouth, she will vomit within 5 minutes. :(

What am I going to do? At the moment, mummy just keep explain to her that if a person get very sick, he might die without the help of medicine. Hopefully she can understand that medicine is good for her and might is helpful in easing her suffering from illness. Still thinking for better idea. LOL!

Also, little Elizabeth has been coughing for weeks. It’s getting serious too. Mummy can hear the sound of blocking phlegm in her throat now as she was breathing while asleep. But, you don’t want medicine. Not even honey. Yet, you always choose to sleep late at night.

Today, mummy actually boiled some almond water and add it in your milk. As the alternative way believed that Almond can strengthen our lungs. Hope it works this time.
