Early birthday celebration for Qian Thung

We just pre-celebrated Qian Thung 2 years old birthday at Dorea BBQ on Sunday night…

Yes, she will be turning to 2 on 2rd of Sept… Time flies super fast, I still could remember her birth-story vividly even though it was 24 months ago… And now my memory is deteriorating day after day, I guess I can hardly remember any of those detailed moment when I am 40, 50, 60 or older and older…..I better pen down here on those memory that I could still remember as at now…

Once upon a time,

1) For the 9 mths, it was a completely easier pregnancy stage… I could eat, sleep, work as normal as a non-pregnancy woman…
2) 9 mths over fast, and u decided the day u wanted to meet all of us on 2 Sep 2008 night.. It was a smooth delivery which only took less than 3 hours, without the help of epidural which mommy never ever thought I could make it.
3) During the one month confinement, u were an extremely good newborn who just sleep and eat all day long without making any single fuss…
4) From month 2 onwards till today, u are still good and sweet little pie as always…I

Happy birthday my girl, blessed u with lots of love ………………

Smile happily for the shoot

Cheecky look...

Little teacher

Ever since I send her to the weekly 1 hour flash card session last December, this is one of her favourite activities during her past time.

My Little People

Another 2 more weeks, my little gal will turn to 2. Have not really figure out how to celebrate her 2 yrs old birthday yet.

At this stage,

- she know and understand most of the happening around her clearly.

- her speech development is not super fast nor super slow... she can say : I want gargle... phew, put here, phone, please, and a lot more.
- her appetite is as good as ever. That's explain why her current weight is at 12.6kg
- she loves to dance, especially when the jie jie sing Nobody song.
- she reveal the caring and sharing characterisct at this young stage.
Eg 1 : She shares out her favourite food, egg with mommy during meal time without me even requested;
Eg 2 : she shares out ice cream with ah mah.
Eg 3 : She quickly carry a pillow to her dear gong gong when she saw the gong gong sleep on the floor without a proper pillow. How sweet!
- she loves book. Daddy always tease she is 'second hand book store'. She is still happy to take the hand me down book from her jie jie.

- She has a bad habit... she likes to hit and beat jie jie as and when she feel she wants to...

Here is the latest photo of my cheerful little people....

My big gal

This morning, I went to register Qian Yi for standard 1 in year 2011. Upon finishing the registration, I toured the school campus and all of a sudden, all the emotional feeling kicked in as I walked....

I was 7 yrs old that year, studied in Standard 1 in the same school too... I could still remember the naughty boy who sat besides me, my best friend's name, the teacher's name and some of the funny things... And now, my big gal will follow my growing steps... How time flies fast!!!!

She has grown up fast, from my 1st newborn to a little girl who is going to start the study journey that I went through stage by stage...

All I hope and pray is she will enjoy each moment of her life, just like me..

Good phrases

自己做决定，自己负责任，生命才能绽放光芒

对生命有体会的人，谈到过去，除了“感激”，已无话可说！

My big gal

Mommy has not really updated about her for quite some time.....

I was amazed by her ability to say this out loudly the other day...

杯 弓 蛇 影

蛇 鼠 一 窝

百 发 百 中

I am so happy that her Mandarin has improved significantly ever since she changed to the new kindy last Dec. Hope she will love Chinese as much as mommy...

These were taken during 2010 CNY... Baby fat still found on her face...

2 sisters

These are the series of photo taken last nite at my cousin sister's wedding dinner. It was also the 1st wedding dinner for Qian Thung, and of course, X times for Qian Yi.

Qian Thung was wearing jie jie flower girl gown where jie jie wore during koko wedding 4 yrs ago... Though she was not the flower girl for the night, she still got the focus and attention from the guest when she started to dance with the live band...

My 2 cute and pretty babe...

当没有方向感的时候，允许自己“混”一阵子，让自己处在“省电状态”，把元气养好、怨气疏通，等待机缘，再度出发！…

2010 Mother's Day

This is a belated Mother's day posting that I dedicated to my beloved grandmum who demised 13 years ago...

Hi Popo,

This is not the first time I write to u, I remembered I do write to u on and off while I was away for study many years ago. But this will defnitely be the 1st time I am writing to u since the day u left us.... Yes, 27th April 1997 to be exact. Till now, I am still not very happy that u choose that time of the year to bid goodbye to all of us.... I know this is all god decision, but this has in turn become my biggest guilt in my life, for being absent from your life farewell. I refused to imagine how 'lau juak' your funeral was....

Ok, let's change to a more recent topic... I just wanted to tell u that miracle do happen here... Guess what? We just had a gathering dinner to celebrate the recent Mother's day... There will be a total of 6 mothers there if u were still with us. hehehe.... But I believe you are the most happiest mother up there in the sky for this Mother's day season...

Your 2 sons + daughter in law....

All of your 'cha bor soon', 6 Ms OON ssssss. (Ping was late and hence not in the photo)

Your offsrping....

And, 4 of your 'ka na soon' (great grandchildren) whom u have never met before.... (another 2 - Sean and Thung Yuan were not in the photo.) I believe they will love you as much as their mother love u....



That's all for today... take good care of yourself though I know u are doing well in the heaven there...

Missing you.....

Gong Gong & Soon

I just love this series of photo taken during the recent Mother's day dinner. Qian Thung mischief act towards gong gong..

1. See her innocent look...



2. Mischief act in action but still with the most innocent look...



3. Mission achieved. See her victory happy face...



Love this photo... especially the way gong gong see his granddaughter....

Update update & update....

It's a very rare thing nowadays for Qian Thung to be wanted to be carried by jie jie.... Just wonder why.....

Jie jie has lost 4 of her milk tooth after CNY...



Both of them were watching a cartoon from my notebook... See the way QT sat on jie jie's lap...



This little helper is really 'powerful'... she can vacuum the floor with this red gadget for almost 10 min long... For those who used this vacuum cleanner before will know the weight....

Update on my 2 girls

Just can't believe the last posting I have in this blog was exactly one month ago. We were so tied up with the pre-moving house, moving house as well as post moving house. And finally, we have settled down in our new nest...

Update on jie jie, nowadays she is one of the busy-lady at home.

Her timetable is as below :-

1) attending kindy from monday to Friday, 9am - 6pm. On top of that, she is required to complete homework at night.

2) Tue night, attending the piano lesson at 7.15pm - 8pm

3) Wed night, attending ballet class from 8.45pm - 9.45pm

4) Sunday morning, attending art and craft class from 10am - 12 noon

Update on the little people.

- She is 1 yr old and 7 months.
- She has a super good appetite...
- she can count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- she can say A, B, C,

In short, she is a cheeky girl at home.

Sisterhood moment

At this tender age of 18 months, Qian Thung my small girl has a very strong tendency to be an 'ai sui cha boh' when she grows up. She loves to stand in front of the mirror to admire herself whenever she wears nice shirt or after her hair get combed. Having said that, she will normally pull off the hair clip or rubber band which I put on her hair.

This morning I was so shocked to see her new hair-do (done by her dearest che che) the moment I stepped out from the bathroom. According to che che, she was sitting still on the floor and willing to cooperate with her che che to get this hair style done within 5-10 min. She may looks rather ugly, still a good thumb up to che che, another big vain pot of mine.

Some, they always make me laugh and make my day when 2 of them playing peacefullly during weekend. Che che asked the mei mei to stand inside the trolly and pull her from one place to another in the house.

Hope they enjoy their sisterhood moment as much as they could.

Qian Thung @ 1 yr 6 mths old

I have quite a lot of back-dated posting especially those CNY posting. But I just can't stop myself from posting this photo of QT taken few hours ago...

At this stage,

- her weight is around 13-15kg, due to her super good daily appetite
- she is learning on the speech... she can say out bird bird, ball, daddy, jie jie, no more, more, ah mah, book and etc... Among all, the 2 frequent call out term is AH MAH, DADDY...
- she can understand our instruction very well, both in English and Mandarin.
- she is well-behaved and is a little good angel at both her grandparent house when mommy is not around. But she will turn into a big monster the moment mommy step into the house. Wonder whyyyyy??

Mommy's assistant

At some days, Qian Yi my big girl turn out to be my personal assistant babysitter at home. She helps to bath Qian Thung (of course under my supervision), and entertain her sister while I was busy in the kitchen.

She even not forgetting to take photo of her sister when her mei mei show her the cheeky face.

And this, crying face when mei mei failed to "snatch" over the camera from jie jie...

My big girl, and mei mei big jie jie.

Over the weekend
