Happy Birthday to dearest Hubby

You came into my life ...
As my soul mate ...
Filling it with
Blissful moments ...

Now as I look back ...
My heart lights up with ...

Those cheerful memories
That I will treasure
All life long ...

To you, My Love

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

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!

Claudia and the dog

backdated : 28/8/07

Lately, we have noticed a lot of stray dogs at the housing area and some are puppies too, my dad loves pet, he has always wanted to keep one but we are a bunch of useless people (my mum, sis and me), we are afraid of animals... we would try to avoid dogs and cats whenever they come nearer.

I think Claudia is fond of dogs like her grandpa. Whenever she sees one, she would point at the dog and try to approach it, so my daddy caught a puppy and bring it to Claudia, she would touch her and pat the puppy lovingly, trying to kiss it too, I was really afraid that it might bite her or hurt her. I don't know why my dad would let her grand daughter to touch it, doesn't he think that it is dangerous?

I am not sure whether this girl still doesn't know how to feel scared or she is really a dog lover?

Naughty girl

At my mum's place (11/9/07).

I was sitting beside her watching the tv, then I saw her licking the speaker on the left, I smacked her cheek lightly but repeatedly and told her not to do that again, she was angry and cried, after that she pushed me away, she didn't want to sit beside me anymore.

The crying continued for a few more minutes, and I got agitated, she is very stubborn now so I carried her and put her in a corner, I went back to sit and continue watching tv, she knew I was angry with her, and so she came back to me and cling on my lap. Haiyah, this mummy heart melted and hugged her back.

There she was sitting on my lap while I continued to watch the tv, after a while, I can feel that she can no longer sit still with me, and tried to get down, I allowed her to get down and said "go" but you know what? She backed off and made noise refused to go down, and this happened about three times. Later, she wanted to remove her shoe, and I helped her but she cried when I removed it, so I patiently put her shoe back, again she cried!! Wah, what happened to this girl!! Too much already, my blood rushed to my head and I threw the shoe away and I told her to stay with her gong-gong, I don't want her to follow me home and walked out from the house. She wailed and screamed loudly, but after that she didn't dare to make me angry anymore.

Must show her some colour sometimes or else she'll climb on my head!

Presents all the way from US and Canada!

Hi guys, welcome back, I know I have not been updating my blog for more than a week, sorry, I've been busy, err ... lazy actually ... haha.

Sharon Sharon! I have a good news for you, we have received the parcel! Phew!! Finally after about 2 weeks of waiting, we finally received it, thank God. Mummy called to inform yesterday and she was eager to open it but I asked her to wait till I reached home, I want to take the picture and show it to you.

Although, I knew I will receive the parcel from you, but I don't know why I felt so touch after I opened it. All the cloths and shoe were neatly stuffed into the box. You have bought so much for Claudia, and they are so nice and pretty, thank you so much. Claudia, you see your ee ee loves you so much? If your ever forget her ah, I will scold you, ok!

Claudia was happy to see so many nice bajus and can't wait to try on every piece, after that, she will start to parade it in front of us. Unfortunately, we were unable to snap some of the picture, because she was running towards me to view the camera as soon as I try to snap her and she refused to co-operate. These are a few pictures I managed to take.

Nice anot?

This adds to her shoe's collection


What is this?
