Sigh! Not again ..

NOT AGAIN! ...

Sigh.. is another of the day; Mum was planning to enroll me for Shichita class in Jan 2009 as the next intake for Oct 2008 is FULL;Yet, we were put under long list of "WAITING LIST" today @ centre point for January 2009 intake.

The lady told mum we may need to wait till April 2009 intake.Ohh No!!

Wondering is this Shichita classes that popular? Pretty eager to find out soonest possible.

Too bad; just wait and see. However i am still thankful to papa and mama sending moi to Kindermusik. I do love it.

My first Kindermusik started on 7th September 2008

Mummy and I ( Story Telling Hr)








Playing with Torchlight ( eye focusing practise)

Break-time ( Playing with Toys- I have chosen a colourful parrot!)










On Sunday, daddy and mummy brought me to attend my first Kindermusik lesson at Kidz Talent Lodge (Musikhaus) . It was the 11.30am class. The theme for this term is about Village. Daddy took me for the first part of the class and Mummy took over after the break. (pardon daddy for the blur photos!) :P

There were 10 of us in the class. I made a new friend; she is 1 day elder than me (17th Oct), her name is Velarie. Very sweet Jie Jie. Will take some shot together next time.

My enjoyed my class.. to mummy surprised- I behaved well but felt a lit shy to mix with everyone yet! I think i will do better in second class.

We started today with one of my favourite at home "BALL" - rolling, spinning, bouncing, sitting on the ball and etc.. were what i have learned in the class. Teachers used all sort of Vocab and musical instrument in the class. It was great fun!

First time i played a Tamboline and drum. Cool eeii.. ( too bad no pics to show you!) Hope mummy will catch some shots next class.

I learned about " Hickory, Dickory, Tickle & Bounce" . Really loves the teacher sing about!
(Hickory, Diickory, Tickle & Bounce encourages Baby's language development through the rhythmic nature of favourite childhood nursery rhymes. Using basic American Sign Language, this unit offers parents a new way to communicate with Baby before she is ready to talk.

I couldn't wait till next week for more stories telling again.

Glue On TV

Well, Daddy! You've done it this time. Zoe can now watch TV on her own, and Mummy is not pleased.

This pic shows her watching DEAL OR NO DEAL! She was also in suspense. Gosh!

A lit thought for Mothers- Is being a mummy a bother?

My feeling for this topic is as intensed as what I feel about breastfeeding. So, if anyone is going to get insulted, my advanced apologies.

Hubby and I was out with a relation the other day, and we somehow fallen into this conversation.

Relation: "I really don't understand you guys, bringing your infant together with you everywhere you go. Not mah-fan meh? Every outing is like a long distance trip, the diaper bag, the stroller, the water, etc. Fuss over baby before the trip, fuss during the trip, fuss after the trip. If me, I moh-kam-hou-hei (don't care enough to bother). Why don't you just leave the baby with your maid at home?"

Me: "Oh, we like to spend as much time with her as possible. And we don't think it is a bother."

Relation: "Aiyah, why go through all these mah-fan woh? You cannot concentrate fully on your shopping, we have to look for a baby friendly place to eat and the food is not good, and see, now your daughter is making a fuss and you have to sooth her. Such a bother."

Me: "It's OK, we are fine. You continue with your food, we will just carry her a little."

Relation: "You can see why I don't like to take my kids out with me. They get in the way of everything. Eat also no peace."

I was rather exasperated by her comments. She is a mother herself, how can she feel so little need to spend time with her toddlers. Or maybe, I am a new mummy, and I am finding all these very exciting. Well, of course taking care of a child is sometimes difficult. But, I love the feeling, the feeling of being a mother, of having an influence in how my child grows up, and every bother that comes together with it.

I love the way Zoe senses my presence, by sight or by smell, and bully me into carrying her all the time, and she never cease to amaze me on how perceptive she is.

I love to watch Zoe sleeps, shedding tears of joy whenever I see a funny smirk or stretch herself in her sleep. And I can watch her sleep for hours.

I love to change her diaper, which is very often, while she wails away, but lifted her buttocks for me anyway.

I love her when she wee on me during diaper change, and caught me by surprise.

I love her when she makes a fuss because she is sleepy and gets crankier than usual.

I love her when she disturb me during our outing, and I have to experiment with everything to sooth her.

I love her when she interupt my meals just because she suddenly wants to be held.

I love her when she got into a temper and bite me hard when I feed her.

I love her when she wee on my fresh clothing while I carry her in hers cloth nappy.

I love her when she makes a fuss after her bath because she wants to stay and play in the water.

I love to drag along half the house with me, just so that Zoe and I can enjoy a 15-minute outing.

I love to get into an inflexible schedule just because Zoe needs feeding and sleep throughout the day.

I love to be awaken by her in the middle of the night simply because, I have a baby.

I love to rush home to see her, although tired and restless from work, just so that I can spend time with her.

I love to see her tug at the safety belt of her car seat and complain at times, just so that I know she is safely snuggled.

I love to see my parents fussing over Zoe, and eventually spoilling her with affection, simply because she is their first grandkid and brought them immense joy since the day she was born.

I love to take Zoe with me on holiday, knowing that we will not see as much or have much flexibility or rest, but rejoice in her company.

I love her when she drools on my shirt and in the process, makes herself wet all over.

I love her when she spits milk, making me panic and worried.

I love to hear that I have put on weight from childbirth, knowing that having Zoe has changed me not only emotionally but physically.

I love to sacrifice the option of good food just because I would rather go to a baby friendly eating place with Zoe.

I love to give up my indulgence so that I can channel my funds to lavish everything on Zoe instead.

There are more than a thousand reasons to love being a mummy, and the bothers are a huge part of it, and I wouldn't expect any less.

爸爸 All The Way

Recently, I kept calling 爸爸. Mummy felt that it must be due to her kept calling my daddy (her 老公) 爸爸 instead of Dar Dar, so I started to follow her and call 爸爸. Think she's getting jealous, so now she's getting 爸爸 to call her 妈妈!

To My Dearest ...

It's a happy day .. Cheers and bye !

Me @ Theme Park

Guess what .. I really enjoy this! IS EVERY children's HEAVEN! ..

Today is holiday.. Pa and Ma decided to bring me out. We went to a Indoor Theme Park. Lots of rides, and games ; but....Most required ABOVE 2 years of AGE!

"URgghh.. i really hate that! " This has limited a 9 mths + explosure to those "EXCITEMENT"!

Anyhow, i did enjoy my first ride @ The Theme Park!
Thanks to my folk ~ MUACKS!



MARY- GO-ROUND















(A Thought of Mama Zoe: Most of the rides require that an adult be present with the kids. See Zoe had a great time with Pa Pa! She loved the kid rides. I think the rule is that you know your child, and what they can and can't ride. Just use caution, and watch the ride first, so you know what to expect!)

Ridding on Unihorn with Kitty Cat




Zoe: Papa I couldn't reach!
Papa : Is okay, baby; we change to another ride!














Zoe: Ohh this looks interesting.. Emm.. I really like this ride.. Let me start the engine and Zoomm..






See me in Action ! ~

My 2nd Jab .. Ohh No!

I had an appointment with Dr Wang tonight at 8pm for my 2nd Prevenar vaccination. I had real bad feeling from my 1st Jab, so i started to feel irritated; wondering can my folks don't be so cruel to me?

Dr Wang weighed me and I almost crossed the 9kg mark, I now weighed 8.5kg. After examining me, she told daddy and mummy that he would give me the jab as my nose and lungs are clear. I let out a cry when Dr Wang jabbed me but I stopped quite immediately as I was distracted by the toy that she was waving at me.

Heeheh..

(don't be over happy) I have my final jab when i turn One year old. Hopefully then my skin getting thicker!

You are 10 mths today!

It's the 18th of the month and that means you are 10 months old today !You are still so petite but you have definitely grown smarter and loves making funny faces :)

Just found out you have got one front tooth emerging~

Growing up - 9 months +

My First Prevenar Vaccination

To protect me against diseases such as pneumonia, blood poisoning and meningitis caused by bacteria, daddy and mummy opted for the optional Prevenar jab. I had my first Prevenar jab on Jul 24, 2008.

When doctor checked my gums for signs of teeth growing, I started to feel uncomfortable and cried. Mummy managed to calm me down quite easily. However, I didn't know that the worst had yet to come. When it came to the actual jab, it was extremely painful. I cried out at the top of my voice and still felt a bit disturbed when we left the clinic. Obviously, the aunties at the reception counter heard me and commented to daddy and mummy that I had a loud voice; and I can become a parade commander next time!!!

This is my first time I CRIED during JAB !!!!

I Am 9 Months Old!

I am now 9 months old. I last updated my developments months back, here's an update of my little progress during the past 3 weeks.

Another two little teeth - I have another two little upper teeth emerging (when i was 7mths+), so now I have a total of 4 teeth. Mummy has been finding a chance to take photo of my 4 little white pearlie but I just refused to open up my mouth wide, so no picture for you readers to see, kekeke...

I can crawl( starting since i was 6mths+; now really Zooming) - Now, I can commando crawl, am going to brush up my crawling skill so that I can roam about in the house.

I can do 恭喜 - It depends on my mood if you want to see it.

I can do 拜拜- When i see 婆婆 holding on josssticks.

I can bye bye ( since 6 mths of age) - It is the fingers open and close type; not the hands waving type. Again, whether you'll get to see it depends on my mood.

I can say 爸爸。妈妈。来来。MUM MUM ( Eat) ; and etc ..

I sing and dance when MaMa plays my favourite Barney show - Mr.Golden Sun, ABC and etc.

I can use my index finger to point at things - Mama always says ( in catonese) - “点虫虫， 点虫虫， 虫虫飞！”

I can stand up ( by holding on something)- I did it steadily; and i am sure i can stand up next month.

I can walk with helps. I wish i can run soon! :P
