My nursery is on holiday. They have special activities during holidays. One of it is cooking. I thought the teachers would teach me to make delicious chocolate cookies. At the end of the day I made this special delicious meal. LOOK!

Due to mummy and daddy’s busy schedules, mummy has to blog in short. Both mummy and daddy are finishing big projects. Poor daddy has to work nights too. Mummy is more privilege, can work from home as mummy’s company is more connected in technology. I hope we will be back to normal soon. Missing daddy very much.

One morning at my company’s car park, my colleague capture something in his camera phone. Two cars parked kissing one another. Obviously the driver didn’t know that it has bang into someone’s car and left it there.

Mummy was in the room playing with Emily and Timmy. It was almost reaching bed time. The cupboard nearest to mummy was Timmy’s cupboard. I was too lazy to walk across the room to Emily’s cupboard. I took 2 sets of Timmy’s pyjamas out. 1 set was really old and Timmy outgrew it. I help Timmy to change to his pyjamas. He is now a big boy, can put on his own pants.

Next was Emily’s turn. I put on the top and she was pulling it away. She didn’t want to wear it. Later she called out “kor kor” meaning, this one belongs to kor kor. Anyway I told her it is fine, kor kor give it to you. Later I put on the pants for her. Later she felt so uneasy and uncomfortable. She keep insisting to me that I undress her, keep lifting the top up and I can see her belly button.

Anyway, mummy undressed her and walk across the room to get her pyjamas. After she wore hers, she was happy. What a 17 months old little gal? Mummy just discovered her new character.

By the way, she can speak a few words now, especially Chinese.

Almost the same syllable sound:
Pa Pa – Daddy
Por Por – Grandmother (Babysitter MIL)
Pow Pow – Please carry me
Pau Pau – Tummy filled
Pu Yau – Don’t want
Ball Ball – Ball
Bear Bear – Bear
Bye Bye – Goodbye

Mum Mum – Food
Mm Mm – Poo Poo
Kor Kor – Brother
Che Che – Sister (Babysitter daughter)
Ko Ko – Grandfather (Babysitter FIL)
Star
Aiyoo – No meaning
Oh Oh – No meaning

I am still waiting for her to call me MUMMY!

My son just graduated from 3rd year nursery, another milestone he had completed. I hope he carry on graduating. After returning from Langkawi at 2pm, we had to attend his graduation ceremony at 4pm. It was just a small ceremony, nothing big. Some prize giving and chat with the teachers on his progress. At this stage, I don’t actually expect many achievements. I just hope he has fun in the nursery. It certainly made me happy if he succeeds.

The teacher complains that he is very quiet. However it is not so at home, I have a difficult time asking him to keep quiet. I recorded his singing for the teacher to hear. They were pretty surprised that the fact he can sing. I told the teacher, he knows quite a lot of stuff. In turn I have to encourage the teachers that he is learning despite his quietness.

Remember the last time I blog about his writing competition and he won first prize.

Here is his piece of art:

His moments:

I am back, back to work. 🙁 Hoping for a longer holiday. *Greedy Look* It was a great holiday in Langkawi. Two things that are real cheap there, cigarettes and alcohol. Both of which I don’t take. Imagine beer selling at RM1.50 per can. Drink till you drop. Other than that, Penang has it. The only thing that I bought back from there that is worth the money and cannot find in Penang is imported chocolates. YUMMY!!

Talking about chocolates, you really have to be careful if it is real cheap. I saw a shop selling huge bar of imported chocolates, priced at 5 for RM5. Wow, I could just give my colleagues 1 bar each. Some has liquor in it. I took a look at the back and the expiry date was 07 Nov 2005. What a let down??!!

I was away from Internet, TVB series (no TV8 & NTV7), newspaper, normal housework and the list goes on.

Mybabybay blog wish all of you a Happy DeepaRaya and Happy Holidays!! Will be back soon!

I traded 37 scoops for a swimming pool. The pool arrived last Saturday and boy my children had fun with it. Hey our very own swimming pool in our own garden, cool eh? You cannot do much swimming but my children likes to play water very much. The pool wasn’t slippery.

Silly mummy didn’t take out Emily diaper, and look how much water it absorbs. Hehehe, mummy got scolded by daddy. Emily couldn’t stand with the heavy diaper.

I wanted to do this for a long time to dig out all the old pictures and put it all together. However my hubby’s album was at my MIL place. When he had taken it back, I was too busy to touch it. Yesterday, I read Jasmine’s blog and I remembered what I wanted to do. I revived the old pictures project.

Tada….

Now tell me, do Tim and Emily look more like daddy or mummy?

For those who have seen me, now you have a different perspective of me right? A lot of my friends said Tim looks like me and Emily looks like dad. Very few say otherwise.

By the way, that is the only 1 year old photo I have. The rest is above 6 years old. Probably my parents were too poor to take any photos when I was a baby. I only got to see that photo when Emily was born. My aunt kept the picture and as she was clearing her house, she found it. I only got to see what I looked like after Emily was born.

Yesterday, I recorded my children’s voice. Feel free to use it as your handphone ringtones, remember have to pay royalty. My hubby suggested me to use Emily laughter as my windows startup sound. Every morning, when I boot up my notebook, I can hear her laughter.

Last week, I decided to make my vacation happen. I suddenly have the urge to go somewhere, not sure where but somewhere. I told my hubby and finally we picked Langkawi. After the thought of having to take an hour ferry across with the children, the idea flew off. My son has motion sickness, worried he might vomit in the ferry.

Anyway, as I was surfing the Internet, I went to MAS website. My fingers got itchy and find out the rates of return tickets to Langkawi. It came up to RM600+ for my entire family (2 adults and 2 children). I send an email to my hubby and he said, “Let’s do it”. What a cool hubby I have! My hubby has a relative in the hotel line in Langkawi, she may be able to get us some special rates. At the end of the day, I was afraid that the flights would be fully booked, as we will be going during the Raya holidays. I called up MAS to secure some flight seats. The agent told me I can get a 25% discount on my fare and Emily can go on an infant rate (below 2). It ended with less than RM500 for the whole family inclusive of tax. Great deal! Today, I collected the tickets from the airport.

I told my son about going on the airplane. He was very excited about it or maybe I was making him excited. I live very close the airport, every now and then, I will take him to the airport to see planes. I make sure I got window seats for him on the flight.

Anyone been to the Mangrove Tour in Langkawi? One of the website state that it is a must to go. However it will be a boat ride to places like caves, fishing village, the Mangrove Jungle, Langkawi Archipelago and The Lake of Pregnant Maiden. Not sure whether it is suitable for children. What other places should we visit beside the Underwater world?
