On vacation

Dear All,

I'll be going on vacation from 6/12 to 12/12, so there won't be any updates during this period (as if I am always updating this blog, hahahaa). Anyway, I will try my best to update this asap. So I'll see you around after 13/12.

Please take good care of yourselves, don't end up like me wrapping wonton.

Love,
ClaudiaMom

CLaudia is 18 months

She turned 18 month on 26/11 but I don't have the time to blog about, reason being, I'm just too tight up with everything, work, work and work, and was busy doing shopping for the Korea trip. Wow, I really spent quite a lot on the money, even some of the necessities I gotto to loan from friends and got a free jacket worth RM349 from Winter time, there are still alot of others stuff to buy like lotions, lip balm, a pair of good shoe, bigger pants, extra sweater, long john and etc. I really burnt quite a big hole in my pocket. Think twice before going for a winter holiday.

Ok back to Claudia, she is at

Height : 75cm
Weight : 9.7kg

Meal is as usual except she has been taking porridge twice a day daily, that is a good news, because she wasn't all fancy about porridge before, my mum would always cook for her but it will all ended in my brother's tummy, because she will spit all out and refused to eat later, now I thank God that she's eating, I hope she will gain more and more weight when I return. She is really small at her age and is still underweight.

I call her a singing bird, each time she wakes up in the morning, she will start to talk and talk non-stop and she likes to imitate us, she repeats what we say or do, copy exactly like an adult does, like a 'lou yan ching', and she will laugh at herself too.

Holiday starts tonight but ...

I'm going to fly to Korea tonight, but I'm not all excited and looking forward this trip, not as excited and I had expected to be months ago. Why? Hmm... there are a few reasons :-

I am so sick (how to enjoy when you are already sick and your lips start to crack even before leaving for the cold country
I worry about my work will pile high up when I returned, and dunno where and when to start
My dearest sister will arrive to after spending months and months at LA, we don't have time to catch up until after 1 week
I worry about leaving my home for 1 week with no one to look after
My best friend's mum passed away on Monday, I was not able to attend the funeral at Sitiawan, I don't have a chance to comfort her and lend her a shoulder to cry on since that day and now I'll be flying and only can meet up after 1 week later. So my dearest friends, please help to look after her during I'm away
My father and brother are going to Korea too, leaving only the ladies behind, my mum, sis, Claudia and the maid. I rely need to rely on my sis to help to look after all of them, make sure you look all the doors ya?
But most importantly, I miss my little darling...can she cope without me? or rather can I cope without her by my side? I will definitely miss her, thinking of only leaving her makes me wanna cry, I told her to be good and stay with her po-po for a week while mummy and daddy are away, but she shook her head saying that she don't want. I dunno whether she understands. Claudia, make sure you be good ok, although we are away, we will miss you too, and love you always, don't angry with mummy and daddy ya?

This is not my first time going on vacation without Claudia, each time I felt heavy hearted to bid her goodbye, I remembered a few times I was on vacation and came back, she will show her anger towards me (no joke man) or even cried and rejecting me, I felt lousy and sad. I really hope this round it wont happen (this is the longest trip). Mummy will buy more and more gifts for you, ok?

I know I must learn to let go and not to worry unnecessary. I must learn to enjoy. If I can't do it, better not thinking of going on vacation again. Yeah, I think I won't simply plan again, must re-think of the pros and cons. Sigh.

Overflow....

Last night, was the 1st time ever in so many months (or 1 year plus) that I need to wake up and change her diapers. She has never need to change extra at night, she couldn't sleep because she was all wet and very uncomfortable, so she interrupted me and told me that she is wet. True enough, her pant and shirt, plus the bed sheet were all wet. I got up and changed her diapers and the pyjamas. I hope this will be the one and the last time, if not your mummy will have a panda eyes the next morning, dear.

Language development

Claudia is able to combine 2 or more words in a sentence since last month, she knows how to command people and ask questions and when is the right time to use those sentences like :-

1) chut-chut where?
2) sit down here
3) (touching her por-por face) bite-bite, put meyak (put oilment)
4) (when she wants anything and favour, she will end with a peasss)
- mum-mum peasss
- walk-walk peass
- pauu-pau peass (carry)
- kai-kai peass (go out)
5) (after her demand has been met, she will end with "tachuuu") thank you
6) wa e da (what is that?)
7) ah chu yu (i love you)
8) (give her something to eat and if she like it, she will use her index finger put near her mouth
with pouty lip say) oh goo, goo

there are alot of new words like

1) bagi (give)
2) bu yao (don't want in mandarin)
3) sejuk (cold in malay)
4) tak mau (don't want in malay)
5) puter (computer)

Happy 3rd Anniversary

Today marks our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. How time flies, it is unbelievable that we've been living together for 3 years already and to mark the 3rd wedding anniversary, we are going to Korea on 5th of December for a 8D7N holiday :) .

As for tonight, we don't have any plan to dine for dinner, initially we planned to have our romantic dinner somewhere, but we are very heavy hearted to leave Claudia behind, so we plan this coming weekend... Hopefully Claudia would be very well behave and let us enjoy our meals together.

Dear hubs,

Many things has changed throughout this 3 years, we've been ups and downs together, we've grow as a family. I may be very bossy and unreasonable at times (i know...) but nothing can change my love for you. May there be many many more years to come.

Happy Anniversary to you, my dear.

Talkababy

Haha, thanks for dropping by, I must confess i have not been updating lately, so it is nice to see you again. How I really miss blogging....

My little girl is learning fast... she talks alot, some words are understandable while some are just her babbling, she communicates well with me too. We were sleeping and her ear itch, she took my finger on her ear and ask me to scratch for her, when she can't sleep, she put my hand on her buttock and ask me to pat her to sleep, smart right? One midnight, she got up to find her chut-chut, found and put inside her mouth but she felt geli because there was a strand of hair on it, she tried to remove but can't so she passed to chut-chut to me and made funny faces, as if there is something on it, haha, so i removed it for her.

If she wants to eat something, she will take my hand and take me near the table, and said mum-mum, take my hand take me near the closet to take out her toys, she will play, wants to open the door she will say key and alot more... I just don't know who to describe it now, it is hard to record her development as she just never fail to amaze us.

My dad carried her the other day, she told my dad that she wants to walk but he said no then she made a pitiful face "walk walk pees ah, walk walk peeesssss". Wow, how to reject her request? Whatever she wants but when we refused, she will goes like this "peeesseee"

She likes to bully the maid too, when she is at good mood and wants favour from maid, she will call kakak at her sweetest voice, but when she got angry and annoyed, she will call "Etee" (Siti) with her angry face.

She loves to imitate too, my dad sneezed, she make "haachuuu" with her lip pout. She will also help to sweep the floor like the maid does. Oh there's so much to say about this girl....

Happy 17th month old

Just a short note to post a message here to remind myself that she is already 17 months.

I have been dying to write something here, but I would rather spend my time sleeping due to my terrible sleep debt ... I feel tired all the time which explained why this blog is lack of updating. Sorry guys, I promise I would never abandon my precious' cyber nest, I will be back with many many post soon once I gain back the energy. BTW, Claudia was down with flu earlier this week and thank God that she is recovering.

Will try to update you guys about Claudia, post more pictures and video here. Stay tuned.

Daddy please ah ....

She actually wanted to taste a can of 100 plus from her daddy. She tried many ways to get his attention but he refused to give in.

Recorded on 30/09/2007

At the end though, she didn't get what she wants. What a pity ... Why daddy? Why can't you simply give your lovely daughter a sip?

On daddy's birthday ...

A trip to Eye On Malaysia on 23/9/07

Nothing much to view, nothing FUN-TASTIC, weather was hot but the sky not clear, lots of pictures taken were very blur, not nice scenery, so I don't wanna waste my time uploading pictures here, perhaps a night view would be better I guess. It cost us RM61 for three adult (RM15 each), 2 senior (RM8 each), approx 12 minutes (about 4 cycle)

Conclusion : waste of time and money. I have nothing else to say.

Tired and sleepy

Refused to get up and pretending to be asleep

started to yawn early in the morning

yawning again

and again....

Child safety harness?

She prefer to walk about on her own without her hand being held at times. I am getting old, I have no energy to run after her especially when I don't bring my maid along to look after her while I do my shopping.

My best solution is this

I have no regret buying this, I think it is a great way to keep kids close and safe in crowds, or during family outings. A great way to keep active toddlers close at hand and safely next to you. Can't you see she was happy roaming around from the picture?

She has no problem with her wrist being strapped, look at the pictures above. She was happy leading the way, but why oh why? When I showed the pictures to my colleague they said I treated my daughter like a dog, and I was label as evil and cruel.

What is wrong with this? Why is everyone saying that I'm cruel to have strap her like strapping a dog? I don't see what is wrong with using a harness on her. It allows her to roam freely, but within a safe distant from me.

Is it really that cruel? You tell me.

16 months already

In a blink of an eye, she is now 16 months old.... I can't believe it, time really flies... Yesterday I took her measurement and she is ....

Height : 73.5 cm
Weight : 9.1 kgs

Vocab
bag - bag
sta - star
gud - good
daad, daddee - daddy
seet - sit
pik - pick
tada - no more (malay)
ai - want (hokkien)
mai / me - dont want (hokkien)
duwan - dont want
take - take
aaeer - water (malay)
sot - sock
kai - cry
pay - play
peaah - please
book - book

This and that

she would always look at what kakak will choose for her to wear before shower, if she is happy with it, she'll run to the bathroom to take shower immediately, after dressing up, she would pat her chest and ask everyone "nai-nai oh?" (Nice, nice oh?)
she loves to hear nice song, each time when she hears nice music (no matter, it was a chinese, malay or indian song), she starts to shake her head to the left and right and dance like a little ballerina, you can also hear her trying to sing along too
she loves garlic rice, muruku and can tolerate spicy food
she knew her way home (since 2 months ago, but I forgot to blog about it), when we reach our apartment floor, I'll put her down and ask her to lead the way home, once she reached home, she'll hug the grille and starts to bang it, sometimes we purposely walk passed it, she'll grinned cheekily and refused to follow us

Mommie and daddie

Came back from work yesterday and was greeted by my little girl with a smile on her face. I asked her to call me and she said "Mommie". Hmmm ... Heart melted .... still melting thinking about it ....

After our meal, my mum took out some jellies as our dessert, hmmm so yummylicious!! Little girl doesn't want to be left out too, she also wanted a bite. I asked her to call me again, and guess what? She called me "Gong-gong", "not gong-gong, call again" I said, "ah hmmm, bit cha bit cha, hmmm" aiyah she said anything but not mummy! *fainted* So Gong-gong also asked her to call him, she said "abitcha, mam mam" and quickly bite the jelly! Panicked ka? Why suddenly dunno how to call us?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have a guest coming to stay at our home yesterday, but she doesn't know how to go to my house, so I have to lead her back home, so I asked hubby to drive alone, while the rest of us will be in the same car with the driver. As we entered the car, Claudia felt that something is missing and looked outside and saw her daddy driving away his car. She called out "daddie" and pointed at it. This is the 1st time she called out her daddy without us telling her to call. Hubby, too bad, you don't get to hear this, or else you'll sure cannot sleep!
