爱撒娇的小宝贝

Ru is going to be 10 months old come 20th of this month. However, she is still like a little baby to me, maybe because she is the younger one? My little baby is another sticky baby. Sigh... She will yell for me to carry her and search for me whenever she knows that I am around. When scolded by us, she will sob and bury her face to my chest. She is also a stubborn girl. When she is angry, her scream can tear a house and drive us crazy. When she does not feel like to sit in her car seat, she will straighten her body and make us difficult to buckle her.

However, she appears to be more adventurous than her sister. She loves to crawl and her favourite toy is the basket which I use to put some diapers, diaper cream, Ruyi oil etc. Everytime when we left her on the floor, she will quickly crawl to her room where the basket is, sit beside the basket and pour out everything and start to explore and "taste" the items.

She also likes to cruise around the house by holding on to sofa, cabinet, dining table and chairs, bed... Taking her photos becomes a challenge as there is not a moment she can sit still and let us take photos, especially most of the time I am using my super sensitive iphone as the camera, and slight movement will cause the photos to turn out blur.

Anyway, I managed to capture the following photos of my baby when she busied exploring our TV cabinet.



Enjoy your babyhood my little baobei. You and jiejie are always mummy's 心肝宝贝。

My Little Supermodel

Like all girls, nowadays Xi loves to dress herself up, chooses her own clothes and shoes (and helps us to choose our clothes as well), and wears accessories. Here's some photos of my little gal modelling and posing at home.




She has also grown up to be a more sensible girl. For example, when she woke up middle of the night, instead of crying loudly on her bed waiting for us, she will on the portable mickey lamp (her magic lamp)which every night she places beside her, open the door of her room, then open the door of our room and climbs up to our bed to sleep with us. Everytime when we come home from outside, she will go to the bathroom herself to wash her hands and feet. This morning after she finished her milk, she brought the milk bottle and put on the dining table (instead of shouting for me to get for her) then went back to her mattress to lie beside her sister and talked to her.

My little girl is also a good helper when come to gardening. See how helpful she was helping her daddy to water the plant in our garden. :)



I hope she will remain this pretty and happy. My darling girl!

Papa's 3xth Birthday!

We celebrated Papa's birthday 3 days before his actual birthday. Poor Papa did not have any present from mummy this time as I was too busy with work and no time to go buy a nice present for him. :( To compensate Papa a little, I bought a birthday cake from Baskin Robbins JB for Papa. And here's the lion head birthday cake chosen by Papa himself :)


The birthday cake was nice and even Ru has a taste of the birthday cake as she kept "ah ah ah" asking for it and her Ah Mu bu she de to reject her.



The next day, we had a sumptuous lunch at the TGI Friday restaurant in JB. This had been the 2nd time Papa celebrated his birthday lunch in this restaurant. We love the ambience and the nice food served here. We ordered a kid's nachos set for Xi which comes in free with the main course which we ordered. Xi finished most of the Nachos together with lots of tomato sauce instead of the salsa sauce which comes together with it. Papa and I shared the Mac and Chez (bright cheesy shades of yellowish-orange and filled with macaroni)as the appetizer and New York Strip Steak as the main course. We finished off with a mini snickers pudding as dessert.



Arh... Mummy still owes Papa a birthday pressie. Any good suggestion???

Outdated Posts

The past month has been crazy. A lot of changes goes on in my company, my work, plus packing and moving of office, which explain lack of update of this blog and no time to spree. Haha... Thank god that despite the business of my work, i can entrust my gals to my aunt and the nanny to take care of my gals daytime, and my hubby and my sister back at home at night. Some updates of my gals:


Xi is getting bigger, taller, heavier (she will tell you she is 16.4kg now), talkative and smarter. Many people tell me she looks and behaves like a 3,4 years old girl, instead of a 2 year-old girl. She can say from 1 to 30 (both languages) and count beyond 10. I am glad to secure her a place at a kindy which I like and will start next year January. However, she needs to take school bus back to my aunty's house after her school ends at noon. Hopefully she will adapt well to her school life next year and most importantly, enjoy this new episode of her young life and become a more independent little lady.


Ru is a much active baby compared to her sister at the same age. Unlike her jiejie, she loves to crawl (that leads her to more knocks here and there) and crawl really well and fast now. She has also started cruising around and can play by herself quietly longer. Food wise, her nanny has started giving her porridge on top of the pureed food which i still prepare for her. However, this gal is still toothless but we suspect her 1st tooth is sprouting out real soon because she has been drooling a lot these few days.

Baby Kai Zheng and Zhi Xuan jiejie's Birthday Bash

We went to the gals' cousins, Kai Zhen's 1 year old and Zhi Xuan's 5 years old's combine birthday bash on 19 September 2009. The gals, especially Xi have a great time playing with their gorgor, jiejie and didi. As it was near Mid-Autumn Festival, the kids had fun carrying the lanterns at the big compound outside in-laws' house.

Happy Birthday to you!!!

Threading Activity


I bought this set of beads and threads for Xi in September thinking of teaching Xi on threading, as one of the more interesting activities during her JG program many months ago was threading thru corn flakes ring. That time she still needed me to hold one side of the thread for her to put the ring thru. However, when i took out 20 of these beads and thread, before I say anything, she has started to put the bead into the thread and within a few minutes, completed a colourful necklace made of the beads and presented the necklace proudly to me. She continued to thread a few more necklace each for those presents - my younger sis, my elder sis, my BIL and me. :)

Hi-5 Show

Xi's very first show is none other than her favourite Hi-5 shows which came to Singapore last week during school holidays. Hubby and I were more familiar with the old Hi-5 team which made up of Katherine, Kelly, Charlie, Tim and Nat as we bought Xi 2 DVDs (The Wonderful Journey and Making Wishes) so sometimes we will play for her during weekend mornings when there is no Hi-5 shows on TV.

The new team is made up of Casie, Stevie, Fely, Tim and Lauren which are younger and seems as much fun and TCS has started to air the new series of Hi-5 show in June.

I booked the Saturday 11am show and this mummy seemed to be more excited than Xi! Initially we planned to put Ru with my aunty in the morning then only drove to Singapore Indoor Stadium for the show. But after much contemplating, we decided to bring Ru along, praying hard she won't be over stimulated by the shows and the scream of the children.

Xi was not as excited as we thought when the show just started, but I know she loves it. She just sat on her seat and enjoyed the show quietly. It was Ru who surprised us by kicking her hands and legs heavily as if dancing with the music, and looked at the stage intensely, sometimes accompanied by screaming! It was only towards the second half of the show that Xi started to get warm up and stand on the chair to dance and sing along; and Ru, started to get cranky (due to her nap time) and soon fell asleep on my shoulder despite the noise.

Overall it was an enjoyable show about Hi-5 planning for a surprise party for their friend, Chats' birthday. So, they are throwing her a party! It’s a big, fun-filled surprise with heaps of singing, dancing and party games. It was nice to see the kids and even adults to sing and dance along with the music.

Looking bored before the start of show:


We were early:


The show starts:

My breastfeeding days were over

As if she knew mummy was going to stop breastfeeding on that day, she stopped waking up for night feed from that very night.

My baby, Ru... whom I breastfed for the past 7.5 months. Sorry, my baby. Mummy wish I could breastfeed you longer, maybe for 1 year. But mummy was getting very tired and recently mummy's workload is getting very heavy, making mummy find hard to pump milk and not able to produce enough milk for you.

Mummy will miss those days mummy cuddling you so closely, seeing you enjoying mummy's milk. Mummy loves you so much so much...

Ru starts crawling

Ru finally starts to crawl when she was 7 months old! But boy, how she crawls! She will lift her whole body high up then "pong", lie her chest flat to the floor. So we only dare to let her crawl on mattress or playmat, until such time she masters in crawling.


This was taken when she first start crawling, roll and crawl to her destination:
