Independence Day

Today, at 1 year, 2 weeks and 3 days, mummy witnessed me walking more than 3 steps INDEPENDENTLY. Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! I can finally walk! Though wobbly and unsteady, I managed to walk from the television set to the sofa, which is about 5-6 little steps away. This year, I bet mummy and daddy will be celebrating National Day with lots of shouting and cheering in the house (as in "Walk, BB, walk! Stand up! Come here! Walk! Walk! Come to mummy! Come to Daddy! Yay! You can do it! Come! Come! Walk! Walk!" etc....)

Sleepyhead

I love to go gai-gai at the park but hate to fall asleep there because I'd surely miss all the fun and excitement. So mummy, please make sure I've taken my nap before you bring me there again, ok.

I am a girl

Out of 10 strangers we meet who are friendly enough to say hello to me, 9 of them would think I’m a boy.

Scene 1: At the poolside
Auntie: Hello baby. Goochi-goochi-goo… boy ar?
Mummy: No, girl.
Auntie: Oh ya hor… I didn’t notice her pink dress.

Scene 2: In the lift
Elderly Uncle: Hallo boy! Boy-boy ar! It’s a boy, right?
Mummy: (Smiling) Girl lah…
Elderly Uncle: Hah? Girl ah? Looks like a boy leh.

Scene 3: In the lift (again)
An elderly auntie with a little baby enter after us.
Auntie: (Directing the little baby to look at me) Look... Kor-kor. Hello kor-kor. Kor-kor, right?
Mummy: (Smiling again) Jie-jie lah…
Auntie: Hah?! (Looking obviously shocked) Jie-jie ar? I thought he’s a kor-kor. She looks so much like a kor-kor (still looking surprised and in disbelief).

Mummy, do I really look like a boy? Or are strangers just being strange?

My new toys

I love my teddy bear...


My first convertible - The Stride-To-Ride Walker.

That's mummy teaching me how to press-press this new Musical Storytime Piano.

Heh heh heh... an Elmo bag!!

My Birthday Party

I celebrated my first birthday on Sunday, 12th August, the closest weekend to my actual day, 13th. It was a small and simple home party, exclusively for our immediate family members.

I put on my new clothes and shoes given by Ah Ma.

I got 2 red eggs from Mah Mah.

I smiled at the camera.

I played with my cousins. Actually, I kacau them, to be precise hehehe (while they were playing UNO Stacko).

Me and my Barney birthday cake.

I am 1 today!

It's my birthday today. Everyone said "Wow! How time flies. She's 1 already!" While mummy doesn't quite agree with that, I have no idea what it means.

Today, daddy took leave from work to be with me and mummy. In the morning, we went gai-gai in Midvalley. We met Yee Por (mummy's See Yee) there by chance. She bought me a set of lovely Poney blouse and skirt. Thank you very much, Yee Por!

After that, we went to AmBank where daddy and mummy opened a Junior Savings account for me to keep all my angpau $$$$$$$. The AmBank jie-jie gave me a camel coin box.

I had a really exciting day today going from place to place and playing with my new toys. I hardly took any nap the whole day. Therefore, I went to bed exceptionally early at 7:30pm.

To Mah Mah, Yeh Yeh, Koo Ma(s), Koo Koo, Ah Ma, Gung gung, Yee Ma, Kau Foo, Yee Por, daddy and mummy... thank you very much for the angpau and presents! I love you.

Naughty, Naughty!

I think mummy had a hard day with me today because I was a little bit naughtier than usual. Well, let the following pictures speak for themselves...


First thing in the morning... I played "Tasmanian devil" and turned my playpen into something that looked tornado-striken.

Later, while mummy was preparing my lunch in the kitchen, I entertained myself by playing "push-push chair" until I accidentally made a loud crashing sound that sent mummy out to end my game. Uh oh...

When mummy returned to the kitchen, I made sure I was extra careful and quiet this time. Too bad... that didn't work either. Mummy ALWAYS knew I was up to no good whenever I was unusually quiet.

"Mummy, let me help you with the laundry. Chuck this on the floor, throw this over there, toss this aside..." There... done!

Weekend Getaway

Daddy and mummy brought me along on their weekend getaway. They've finally stopped "dumping" me at Mah Mah's house. Yay!

Can you guess where did we go?

Peek-a-boo. Who are you? I really enjoyed playing with the kid in the mirror.

I also felt very excited to see a baby cot in the hotel room. "I wanna get in, I wanna get in!" But when daddy put me in, I wanted to get out instead. That night, I slept in a cot for the very first time.

My little antics

I can do kung-fu stunts while drinking my milk. See.... Heeeeyaaah!

Oh gosh, these red shoes are embarrassing me. Where shall I hide my face??

What do you want from me? All I have is a remote-control. Shoo... shoo....
