CNY

Day 1

We woke up at abt 9am today. After my morn neh neh, and shower, mummy changed me into my CNY new clothes.

Our first stop is Yeye hse. I brot 2 oranges and say 'Gong xi gong xi" (my version is Xi xi) to yeye n mama. Next, we went to Gong gong hse. Gu gu, Gin gin and Jeron Gor gor also came. We played awhile and left for Lao Gu hse. Altho' Lao gu passed away le, we still wan to go and keep Lao Gin accompany. Our last stop was another Lao Gu hse. Lao Gin fried beehoon and rice, and lotsa other fried stuffs and that was my dinner. Mummy and Daddy busy playing cards, so I hv to do alot of belly dancing to exchange for foood .. hehe. I ate alot of choc, bak Kwa, CNY cookies, and drank alot of 'pop jiu' (aerated drinks) today.

We came home abt 9pm as Daddy's friends are coming over for more gambling. I tried to stay awake with them, but I was so tired and slept abt 11pm.

Day 2
Today is a very special day for mummy. She says every CNY Day 2, there will be a kind of CNY fish (white tummy fish) that she extremely loves. So, daddy and ah ma went to the mkt at 7am to buy the fish. This year, it cost $98 for abt 12 fishes.

I woke up at abt 8am today. Changed into my new clothes again and went to Gong gong hse coz mummy can't wait to eat her 'white tummy fish'. After lunch, we went to pick yeye and mama, and we went to God yeye hse. This is the 1st time I went to God yeye hse after he moved. Next stop, we initially wanted to go to Lao Gu hse, but ah ma called to say Lao Gu is at her hse, so we went back. Lao Gu cannot pronounce my name, she called me something dat sounded like 'Rolex' .. hehe. Amazingly, mummy ate another fish since she is there. I tried the fish ... not bad actually, but i cannot understand why mummy so crazy over it :p Anyway, the good news is, due to leap year, mummy is going to be able to eat her fish on Chu 2, next mth :)

Day 3
Daddy starting work today, but mummy is still on leave till Friday. So, it's a rest day for mummy and me. We juz laze at hm, watched videos, did painting and rest, rest, rest. Dinner was Jap food at Suki sushi.

团圆饭

Mummy says, everybody eats ‘团圆饭’on the eve of CNY. It's the best family get together time.

Anyway, due to timing, my Gong gong side usually eats on the eve of eve .. so this is my first 团圆饭 this year. It was a big gathering .. Gong gong, ah ma, mummy, daddy, Gu gu, ah gin, jeron gor gor, jeron ah ma, uncle nelson, auntie maggie, joie jie jie, sean gor gor, auntie wati, lao yee, lao dio, fat yee yee and me. Let me count .. (btw, i m learning to count recently, and i usually goes "dui, hor, nai") .. 17 of us !!Oh, + gobi is 18 :) Tho' we had a big grp, but ah ma had prepared food enuff to feed a village, so everybody had a great sumptous dinner. We even had YushenG.. '捞 啊 捞, HUAT AH !!' After dinner, the adult chat while I played wif my 2 Gor gors and Jie jie.

My 2nd 团圆饭 is at Ye ye hse. We met for lunch since Gu Gu and dio dio have another session of dinner at Dio dio papa hse. This time round, we have Yeye, mama, daddy, mummy, Gu Gu, dio dio, xiao Gu gu. her bf, Me and posh posh.. 10 of us :) Tho' we had steamboat again, but Mama's soup is super nice. So we ( aka the 3 little pigs) again ate alot of food. .. yummy yummy.

The 3rd 团圆饭 we had at our own hse. Daddy decided that we had too much steamboat, so he cooked hand made noodles. We invited both set of grandparents. It was simple and nice :) After dat, both me and mummy changed into our new Pjs and than it's bedtime on the new bedsheet .. hehe. Everything is new to welcome a 牛 year !!

I agree with my mummy ... 团圆饭 is really the best family occasion.

7th school days ..

Today marked an important milestone for my school days .. I am finally able to wave bye bye to mummy and daddy w/o crying. Somemore, after kissing and hugging my mummy and daddy, Teacher nancy asked me to stay at the school reception area so that she can do health check for another school mate .. and I did. Mummy is so proud of me !!

Maybe you know wat .. I am 20months old today .. dats why :)

Updates .. Updates ..

School
This week is my 2nd week of school. Today when mummy and daddy send me to school, I wave bye bye to them at the entrance, but I still cannot control my sadness. But than, I am braver now and did not cry so hard like before. I am already not so afraid, but during the day, I will still cry on and off when I tink of my mummy and daddy. Teacher Elsa has been very nice to me, and whenever I cry, she will either play with me, or hug hug me.

Weekends
Last weekend, we did some spring cleaning at home and guess what, mummy n daddy finally decided to throw away their wedding cake. Yes, it's THEIR almost 5 yrs old wedding cake dated Feb 2004. Eeeeks. But than, it still looks nice, and in fact, it still smells like a fruit cake . hehe.



See, still looks nice rite .. (note the date)



Managed to cut open after much hacking actually .. it's hard as rock :p

We did some shopping too. We bought a new big and deep sink to replace the 'cute' old sink. We also went to suntec to buy abalone. I picked a lucky draw ticket and won 1 bottle of red wine + 1 bottle of honey. Not too bad.

Mummy bought a pair of sunglass. Here's me in her sunglass .. dun I look like Pocoyo?

2nd and 3rd day of school

Day 2 in school. Mummy has important meetings so it was Daddy's turn to bring me to school. When I reach sch, I saw teacher Ishah and straight away ran into sch w/o saying bye bye to Daddy. I thought he will be behind me but he was not. So I paniced and started crying when i din see him. Anyway, teacher Ishah told me not to cry. Daddy re appeared at abt 10.30am, during the Outdoor time. Tho' I want to play, but I also wanna keep an eye on Daddy and make sure he dun 'disappear' again. But after outdoor, Daddy told me he needs to go work, so he left again. Much as I wanna hold back my tears, I still cry coz I missed my Daddy and mummy. Daddy eventually came and picked me at 5pm.

** I was crying and knocked my head on the floor today. So, I hv a baluku now **

Day 3 in school. Today, we met Auntie Agnes and Joanie at Punggol MRT and we went to sch together. When we reached sch, Jo went in after saying bye bye to Auntie Agnes, but i stayed on to hug hug my mummy. I knw that I m a big boy and shld attend school like the other kids w/o my mummy or Daddy, but I still cried in the end. But after teacher Ishah carry me into class, I stopped crying and ate some of my breakfast and played with my classmates.

I napped at abt 1pm today, but abt 1 hr later, another sch mate cried and I woke up. I was abit scared and cried for my mummy again. But I stopped after teacher Ishah assured me that everything is fine and mummy will come and bring me home later. Mummy came abt 5pm and brot me to yeye hse. We had dnr there, and went home after that. Since my nap was short, I was so sleepy I went straight to bed after shower and nite milk. yawns ..

First day of school

Monday, 12 Jan 2009. Today is my first day of school.

Mummy took leave to accompany me since it's my first day. We took MRT to the sch and reached abt 8.30am. I had a little bit of oat as I had already had my milk in the morning. Joanie offered me abit of her bread too.

After breakfast, it's lesson time. We had music and dance today. Suddenly, I realised mummy is missing and started crying for her. Mummy appeared after awhile and sat with me thru' lesson. Than we had outdoor play. I like driving.

Time passed and it's time for shower and lunch. We took turn to bathe, and than sat down waiting. Lunch was porridge. I asked more more after eating mine. I had a banana too :) After lunch, we played awhile longer, than it's milk time and nap time. I was not used to it, so I cannot sleep. But i eventually slept abt 1pm, and woke up 2pm. Cried and cried again after I wakie .. Jo oso awake but she is quietly singing.

After tea break, where we had barley water and egg sandwich, it's story time and than outdoor again. Mummy disappeared again .. hmm ..

Mummy came back at 5pm to bring me home. We took MRT/ LRT to ah ma hse, where I had rice for dinner. Than we went home, and I slept at 9.15pm .. I was soo sleepy ..
