Adwin with milk rash

Haha. Our confinement lady use some cornflour powder mixed with water and apply on Adwin's face. Hoping to reduce the rash, but dun seem to work. Haha.

Anyway, this photo was taken after he had his milk and the lady was trying to burp him! Haha...

Our 3 days old Adwin

Many people dun believe the above picture belongs to a 3 days old baby!

Another view of Adwin!

Afraid tat Adwin may feel cold, so we put on a cap on his head!

Our new family member, Adwin

Our baby boy, Adwin, decided to come out on 12 Dec 2007.

My water bag burst @ around 245am on 12 Dec, so we went to KK straight after dropping ashley @ my mum's place.

But Adwin was delivered only @ 1250pm, which was much later than we expected. As many experienced mummies had said tat for 2nd pregnancy, labour time should be much shorter! And, we didn't expect Adwin to be a heavy weight baby, weighing 3.946kg and 53cm!

Anyway, everyone was happy that Mummy n baby was fine!

More pictures update coming.... Oh btw, ashley was saying 'pa pa' when she see the above didi picture! :-*

Xmas before didi comes

Our xmas before didi comes, taken @ causeway pt. The xmas tree is really huge n tall. Used to be only taka having such big xmas tree but now seems lots of shopping malls are having them.

Bee movie outing!

Guess this shall be our last movie before didi comes along...

This was actually a family event organised by one of our friend, really appreciate it, cos Ashley did enjoy the movie and it also taught her what and how a bee looks like! hahaha... she'll scream "Bee" when she sees something like the one shown in the poster above!

See the turtle in her hand? It's the famous turtle soft toy she had been bringing along with her to the childcare! hahaha... she can't fall asleep with it now... :)

Ashley taking medicine

Maybe I'm the only Mummy who would put up the clip of my precious Ashley taking her medicine! Hahaha... Cos i find it so courageous of her to be able to take medicine this way. I guess it's due to her attending the child care, cos when kids there fall sick, the teachers would feed them that way. So I reckon she learn it from those children. We used to have problem trying to feed her medicine, until now, feeding her medicine is a breeze... BUT, i realized she don't like chinese medicine though!!

But sad to say, she been fed with medicine for 3 weeks already, as her cough is quite persistent with lots of phlegm and these few days her fever is on & off... hope she recovers fast, so will be a happy & healthy jie-jie when her di-di comes in about another 11 days to come.... :D

Daddy's birthday!

Daddy & Mummy went for a nice dinner on 05-Nov, leaving me @ 'nai-nai' place that evening...

Here's a peek @ the menu....

But they were complaining that the so-called fine dining place is very noisy! hahaha... too many pple talking @ the same time loudly, so in the end it's like eating @ hawker center but they pay a huge amt for tat dinner! hahaha...

And, the serving is so big, both Daddy & Mummy didn't finished their main course!!

here's some photos of what good food they had tat evening! :p


this is the HUGE onion bun they had... according to them it's very nice & maybe it's due to this huge bun, that they can't finish their food! hahaha...

Daddy's steak... (ribeye with bone), he say it's too huge, muz be shared with another person, too bad, mummy dun take steak... they were joking to have it take-away the balance for daddy's lunch the next day! hahaha... but daddy's quite sick of the steak oredi!! Dun think he can still take it the next day! hahaa...

And this is mummy's salmon's steak!! it's also very HUGE! hahaha... & mummy say first time she was asked how should the salmon be done? hahaha... Daddy say, shd ask for RAW salmon, so it becomes sashimi! hahaha... But mummy asked for 'well-done'!! And initial few bites were very nice... but too much... becomes... ehm... gross??... hahaha...

And this is Daddy's complimentary birthday cake for this year from the restaurant!! it's the only thing they say is NICE! hahaha... cos of the nice chocolate and the vanilla icecream (from the famous H.... D...) :D

As for how old is Daddy this year... I think better to leave it to daddy to tell u guys! hahahaha... Happy Birthday Daddy!!! :D

Ashley enjoying the Belgian Chocolate dip with waffle

Daddy & Mummy had been talking about going to eat @ the Beach Road hawker center for a long long time.. but never ever made it! hahaha...

But on this sat (03-Nov), they finally brought me there for lunch!!

We had the popular Terikayi Chicken set meal, the Prawn & Pork ribs noodles, waffles with belgian chocolate dip, a coconut & a sugar cane juice!! I love all of them, esp the chocolate dip! hahaha...

See, I can even pose for mummy while eating my waffle with the chocolate dip!!

Mummy was enjoying her coconut, cos she's in her last trimester and many other aunties had told her can eat coconut now so when my di-di comes out, he'll be very clean! hahaha.. but Mummy says she although she didn't eat coconut when she was expecting me, I still come out clean clean one leh... :p

And am also enjoying the sugar cane juice... it's really nice & cold! :D See how I posed with Daddy... hahaha.. sorry lah, I was peeping @ dad when mummy pressed her camera!! I juz wanna make sure Daddy is having the same pose as me mah! :p

Ashley with Daddy waiting for Mummy

Daddy came and pick me up from the childcare and he say we will be going to pick Mummy from work and go out for dinner! :D

Since me & daddy were early, we went to Isle Cafe for some chee cheong fun and daddy had a cup of tea... cos I finished up his chee cheong fun! hahaha.. it's really tasty with the sweet dark sauce!! hope to try again next time! :D

And, I saw Yakult in the fridge @ one of the mama shop there! Daddy was nice to get me a bottle! hahaha.. yummy, my favorite beverage... but mummy say am getting a cough liao, so had asked Daddy to stop giving me tat... sob sob...









See, do I look like Daddy??!! Mummy always say both of us are like 'ang ku kueh' looks exactly alike! hahaha :p

First swim @ Popo's new house!

Po-po & gong-gong just moved over to the new house with yi-yi & yi-zhang. And there's a swimming pool in front of their house!! heehee... so happy u know, I can go swimming whenever I go over liao!! And this is my first swim there with yi-yi... it's really so fun since I last swam! haha...

But, I vomitted after about 10mins of water-play... Mummy say I muz had drank some pool water that's y... also because I was eating before the swim, haha.. so had my orange, red bean soup & even my rice taken during lunch threw out! yucks!!

Anyway, while I was having a good time, yi-yi insisted to bring me up oredi!! so besides struggling in her arms, I managed to give her 2 big bites on her shoulders! hahaha... :p Hope I can go swimming more often now! hee hee...

First try on the swing

We went to the Sembawang Park on Saturday!! I love to blow bubbles nowadays... so Daddy & Mummy brought me there to blow! hahaha... but dunno why always no bubbles come out when i blow!... Mummy keep saying I blow @ the wrong direction.. ehm... shall keep on trying.. hahaha..

And here's my clip on my first try on the swing! hahaha... Initially I was still enjoying.. but guess Mummy had pushed the swing too hard so I was swinging quite high up... ended up I got frightened... hahaha....

Shopping with Daddy & Mummy

Mummy post lots of things today hor!! haha...

Yesterday, Mummy went for her 32nd week gynae check up, & Daddy was having his Hari Raya Public Holiday make up, so they picked me up from the Child care early today to go shopping and have dinner @ Junction 8!!

Daddy bought HD Macadamia Ice cream, & it's really yummy!! Look @ our expressions!! hahaha...

Anyway, Mummy & Daddy was really surprised yesterday morning (Monday - 15 Oct) when they dropped me off @ the Child care!! Cos according to Mummy, first time since 2 Oct, I did not make up a fuss! hahaha... And I even say bye-bye to Daddy & Mummy happily after I removed & put my shoe on the shoe rack!!

And teacher Aishah even commented to Daddy & Mummy that I was a real good gal yesterday, I managed to sit thru all the lessons and can let my fav turtle take a rest! hahaha...

Another thing, Mummy would laugh loudly whenever I say "mian" and "no" to her!! Cos I learn the word "no" from teachers and now I truly understand what it means & how powerful it is!!! And mummy find it really funny hearing this "No" coming out of my mouth!! And also, I know how to ask for the food I want and like now!! Especially when I had a liking for noodles!!! So I'll shout for "mian" whenever Mummy ask me what I wanna eat! :p

Ashley's new bed!

Daddy finally managed to fix up my new Spongebob Bed for me!! Mummy has asked uncle ah hoe to bring this back from the states (Texas, Wal-mart) for me!! hahaha... thank you uncle ah hoe!! Mummy was so happy when uncle ah hoe told her he managed to get it back for her!!

Anyway, Daddy got blister on his palm after fixing the bed up!! He had warned Mummy not to get such things for him again! Hahaha...

But, Daddy & Mummy had a hard time trying to get me sleep on it!! Cos am used to the cot sleeping next to Mummy then sleeping alone on this bed!!



Daddy & Mummy got me this new bed so my didi (little bro) can sleep in the cot, as he's a little baby, will need to sleep in the cot so it's safer for him, tat's wat Mummy told me... BUT I still dun quite get it!! Cos cot is where I slept for 2years liao!! :p

First blog on video!

Hahaha... this is my first try posting a video clip of Ashely in the blog!! In fact this clip was not intented as I had wanted to just take it as a picture with my HP! Cos I find her so cute with the red specs found in the GP when Ashley went to see the doc due to a lump found in her left eye (taken on 16 Sept 07)!! Also we went to pay for her full day child care fees before her visit to the GP...

Ashley going to Full day Child Care

2nd October was MY first day to Child Care!! Initially I was still quite happy about going to school, but not when I'm there alone...

This is the blur look on me when I first arrived @ the center. Daddy & Mummy were just standing in front of the cupboards looking @ me. I was busy roaming around the center, cos it's a new environment and also interesting to see other children coming in randomly. And mummy says I look so cute in my new uniform! :D

Daddy & mummy left the center quietly during my breakfast. They also went for their breakfast, but without telling ME... So mummy's guess was I had a shock that I found out I was left there alone. And when daddy & mummy were back from their breakfast, mummy saw me crying in the class... this was the pic mummy took secretly while Teacher Jac trying to comfort me... Mummy was very sad cos when she saw me crying, I was left standing there with my soft toy turtle and no teachers were comforting me!! Then daddy went to ask Teacher Jac to look after me... And mummy came in to the class after my crying saga! hahaha... And mummy decided to bring me back home after my shower, cos I refused to sleep in the center! :D

This is my favorite kitchen set in the Child Care from day 1! And mummy took this when I was happily playing on it cos she's with me in the center on the 1st day!!

But on my 2nd day, she secretly left me there alone again... sob sob... However, I managed to survive my full day!! hahaha... of cos, I need to have my fav turtle soft toy with me!! And heard from mummy, po-po came & peep at me too... And po-po keep saying am fine there @ the center...

But mummy say, I was so happy @ the end of the day, I ate too much during dinner & she bought me a piece of strawberry cake to reward me for being a nice gal in the center, after 2 mouthful, I vomitted!! But daddy & mummy not around @ nai-nai place, so they dun see what I had threw out!! Mummy so heart-pain... hahaha... my mummy will have heartache whenever she see me cry!!

However, on my third day, mummy left me at the center the moment I stepped in!! So i cried from 8.30am till 12pm & mummy very heart-pain, so I left the CC @ 12pm! hahaha...

And on Friday, mummy went into the center with me from morning till my nap!! But I had been trying to ask her to bring me back home, even I cry she also refused!! So she told everyone, I had to learn thru the hard way liao, daddy & mummy will leave me @ the center when they bring me there, cos I cry even if they are around too!! Poor me... hope I can adjust to the routine in the center...

Mid-autumn Festival 2007

Been a long time since Mummy last update on my progress... According to her, she's busy and also no pic for her to upload, so she also lazy to update...

Anyway, many things happened during Aug & this month...

Firstly, grand-grandma passed aways 3 days before we celebrate National day, ie 6 Aug, so everyone was busy with the wake for 5 days...

Secondly, mummy's birthday also falls in the month of Aug... & we only went out to eat with my grandparents (maternal & paternal) & I get to blow out the candles & I did join in the birthday singing!! It's really fun & I love ALL the cakes! hahaha...

Thirdly, mummy & daddy had enrolled me to a childcare in sept & i'll attend full day child care in Oct, had wanted to start on 1st Oct, but according to principal Jac, it's Children's Day, so the center is closed, I can only start on 2nd Oct!! Mummy is feeling so excited & worried about me adapting to the child care, but daddy had assured her that I would do well in the center, I also dunno if I can adapt to it or not...

Mummy & daddy brought me to see 'didi' on sat (15-Sep) @ KT Tan's clinic!!! But I didn't have a good look cos the scan is not very clear to me leh... but Doc Tan was saying didi is about 1kg+ oredi & mummy's in her 27th week now, I gotta wait for 3 more mths before I get to see my didi! After mummy's routine check, we went shopping @ Raffles City Shoppg Center and had our lunch there! And daddy suggest to go Central for Ramen for dinner & also to join in the lantern festival there! U see the big lantern in the background of the pic?? It's pretty nice when we were there!! & it's pretty crowded cos it's a free for everyone! haha... Mummy & daddy had wanted to buy me a Doraemon lantern, but they say dunno why that lantern no light inside, only Doraemon blowing bubbles! hahaha... But i've no interest in any of the designs there!! And after a short walk, daddy decided to go home, cos I was getting cranky & he's getting tired! hahaha... :p

Anyway, mummy & daddy brought me to the park @ our house on sunday (16 Sep) & here's some pics taken by mummy's K800i HP! hahaha... as usual, lantern is something I dun really fancy, so in the end, we went back home after the small candle got burnt out in the paper lantern! hahaha.. & daddy was laughing away cos it's either him or mummy holding on to the lantern rather then ME!!! haha...


See!! Am returning the lantern to daddy (who's busy fiddling his camera, trying to catch my action & also trying to take pic of mummy, who's also busy taking pic of me & daddy with her HP!)) hahaha...

Ashley having running nose...

Wow, been such a long time since mummy update the blog! She had been really busy at work recently, that's what she says! haha... And, I had been really good with puzzle lately, I can fixed the ABC puzzle daddy bought me very quickly! Mummy & Daddy will praise me after tat! so happy!!

Quick update on me, mummy brought me to see doc again on last Friday (13 Jul '07) cos I was having running nose suddenly, lucky she was on leave to take care of me, cos po-po went to Bangkok with gong-gong and yi-yi to pray pray also to celebrate po-po & yi-yi's birthday! :D so good hor, same birthday! haha...

And, we went to Aden's 1st YO birthday party on Friday! He's such a cute di-di, had always wanted to carry him, but mummy say I dunno how to carry him yet, wait he fall then will cry.

Though I was sick hor, but mummy & daddy still go for their Harry Potter movie on saturday, but i just slept through the movie, cos it's very cosy inside & mummy had blanket for me, so not cold @ all!

Mummy ask me a funny question on saturday, she asked me if I want a di-di or mei-mei? And guess wat i say? I say I want a mei-mei! hahaha.. & mummy was laughing away, I also dun quite understand! :p Mummy say she'll go for her scan again on next tuesday, & she'll tell me if I'll be having a di-di or mei-mei by then! ehm... hope my dream will come true, then i'll have a mei-mei to sayang and play with & of cos, to share our secrets!

Ashley 2nd Birthday!

Ashley had her 2nd Birthday celebration @ home... with a small buffet & a Spongebob Jelly cake from mummy & daddy!! The cake was really nice, as in the image was really clear, but abit too much of the coconut milk (tat's wat mummy said!)

I got lots of presents & ang baos today, from grandparents, aunts & uncles & daddy's & mummy's friends!! All aunties & uncles say am a big gal now! hahaha...

here's the biggest present from Uncle Eddie... see how I unwrap it... hahaha...

And am enjoying it... though no sound coming out from it.. (cos mummy & daddy say no batteries...) I like it, cos now I dun have to ask daddy or mummy to bring me to the room for organ... I can play as & when I like... & sing to my favorite song... "Ni Wa Wa"!! hahaha... & good that the mic is adjustable... was so high up just now when I was trying to perform! hahaha... :p

And look at all the soft toys I have now... new Baby Pooh and a Minnie Mouse! And of cos, a backpack Minnie Mouse... all are my favorites Disney characters! :D

Early birthday celebration for ashley

Uncle fatty n ah hoe giving me an advance birthday celebration at Dian Xiao Er @ Causeway Pt wif a strawberry cake fr Prima Deli. It's very delicious. I love it when everyone sings me e birthday song. But mummy says there's another round of celebration tml. So happy. ;)

Yeah, I'll be two tomorrow!! Daddy says I must be a good gal from then on... haha... shall see how! :p

Ashley with new chicken plush

Ashley seems to take a liking to tis new chicken plush bought in Malaysia by her Granny, supposedly her 2nd birthday present. ;)
We are planning for a small buffet lunch for her coming 2nd birthday in 2weeks time. Juz a small celebration for immediate families n some closed friends. Also, looking for a spongebob birthday cake for her.

Speedy baby race

Mummy brought me to downtown east yesterday morning for a Speedy Baby Race. But She was very disappointed cos by e time e whistle is blown i had lost my patience to race liao. E uncle took a long time to blow e whistle as they were some naughty babies who refused to stand behind e start line. But it's a good exposure for me as i do understand e instructions given by daddy n mummy Juz tat i've no patience to wait lor. Sorry mummy, shall be a good gal next time. ;)

They were having the Sesame street display @ downtown east, & i insist to take some pictures with Big Bird & Elmo! I recognised them cos Mummy used to feed in the bowl with Elmo underneath my porridge! haha... And, Daddy bought a ticket for me to take one of the car ride!! it's FUN! :D

Ashley waiting to see spongebob

This is an overdue posting! haha.. mummy had been too busy packing for our Hong Kong Trip that she forgot to post this to my blog!! Daddy brought me to Bt Panjang Plaza to see Spongebob in person on 8 June, friday. I'm so happy abt it and am waiting eagerly for his appearance. Mummy juz dun understand why I loves Spongebob so much! haha..

Flight to HK

Ashley wanna sleep oredi. Haha. She was so happy before boarding n even before e flight takes off, she's oredi sleeping. Hope she can enjoy herself.

Ashley calling "ma ma"

Finally!!! Ashley had managed to call me accurately liao!! She started to address me "ma-ma" when prompted on tuesday(05-Jun-07)! also dunno wat happened! haha... but it's definitely very happy for me, cos all along she only address "po-po" (my mum) & "pa-pa" (her daddy), when prompt to address me, she'll address me "pa-pa" too!!

Finally, we'll be flying to Hong Kong tomorrow morning! But luggage is not fully packed yet, still left some drinks & milk powder to be packed. Especially when we're bring Ashley along, I tot it would be good to bring some local water over for her, so she won't get any stomach upset when mixed with the water over there!

Was busy over the past 2 evenings. Mummy & Daddy went for a marriage workshop on Wednesday nite @ the Family Life Center @ Geylang, it was an interesting topic, Love Talk, speaker is David Kan, which I find is a very experienced counsellor, cos he shared with us many of his counselled cases and it's good that he highlighted that Male & Female are different, which I feel is the problem that most men don't realised! Anyway, hope to attend more of parenting talks by him maybe after the HK trip!

As for Thursday evening, we pop by Motherhood Fair @ Expo, main intention is to sign up for Cordlife for our #2 baby, as they're giving $300 discount if we sign up @ the fair. I guess this is a good move, as it's always good to have some saving of such precious blood for our children. Cos the modern world had too many of funny diseases now, hope more diseases can be cured with the cord blood.

Day Trip to Desaru Fruit Farm & Fire Fly Cruise

We went for a day trip to Desaru Fruit Farm, saw 2 Ostriches there and an interesting Fire Fly cruise organised by Ashley's daddy's college on Wednesday (30 May 2007).

Lucky Ashley woke up very early tat day, about 615am, so in time to feed her milk & shower her before the trip! We board the bus @ about 8am and leave for the Tuas Link. By the time the M'sian guide met up with us, was already about 9.15am.

And we went to a nearby coffeeshop for breakfast before our shopping trip @ Jusco @ The Terbau City! This is a huge shopping center, but an hour is too short for us to grab any good buys! But Ashley seems to be having a nice time, as she as happily window shopping ahead of us (as always)!! After shopping, we proceed to our seafood lunch, which is not fantastic, just prawns, flower crabs & fish, which is quite normal for us!

Proceed to the Fruit farm after lunch which took about an hour to reach, nothing fantastic here too, cos the fruits served was wat we had locally, though breadfruit was shown to us, but never had the chance to taste them! Had wanted to go to the Ostrich farm, but due to the time constraint, we only had the chance to see the 2 Ostriches @ the Fruit farm, which is still better than nothing! hahaha...

The m'sian guide brought us to a shopping mall, which had nothing much to look for too! haha.. but as he mentioned, the things are cheap! only got a bolster with Spongebob for Ashley (RM8.99) which is very cheap! and then left for dinner, this is much better then the lunch served! hahaha... with fish & prawns too!

Everyone was looking forward to the Fire fly cruise, but it started to rain @ abt 7pm! so was in the coach for awhile hoping the rain will stop, but nope, so we had to board the cruise in the rain. it was quite scary cos we saw lighting along the way, but when everyone sees the Fire flies, all were delighted! But, my ashley was sleeping when Fire Files were spotted!! cos she didn't have proper nap during the day, so she slept at abt 730pm till the next day morning! hahaha...

But overall, it was still an interesting & enjoyable trip for our family. Looking forward to our HK trip next weekend!!

Grand Shanghai Dinner

No photos to show this time round! But some updates on my Ashley's development! :)

We went to our cousin's wedding on Sunday @ the Grand Shanghai @ King's Center! This is indeed a very interesting place and the dinner was served in a classy manner, as in all the dishes were served individually. And there's a live band with a china lady singer, singing all the old songs, just like the olden times, in fact, it was very enjoyable! And to everyone's surprises, Ashley was dancing away with all those old songs being sang. Ashley really loves music!! The only thing is she dun dare to step onto the stage to join the singer and be a dancer! She really leaves an impression to those who saw on her dancing next to the stage! hahaha... tat's my adorable daughter!!

Another interesting thing from her last week, her daddy had managed to teach her more alphabets and she learnt to say 'W' out of the 26 alphas! With an interesting tone of "dump" only! hahaha... it's really cute if u hear it out from her mouth! And she had also learn to say "car car", "xie xie" (thank u) with a small gesture of her hand taking something from u! this is a very significant milestone for her, especially at her age, she shd be saying more things! But, nevertheless, we're very glad with her little improvement!! Cheers Ashley!!

And, we'll be going to a day trip to Desaru tomorrow, hope she learn more fruits name there too! Shall take more pics tml to be posted here! :D

Ashley singing

This is interesting cos ashley seems to know tat mic is used for singing. On sunday nite, after our dinner, we reached home n switch on e TV was showing Stef Sun concert. Ashley immediate went to take her mic n started singing n dancing!

Ashley saying "hua-hua"

This is really interesting!! We had our dinner @ The Orange Lantern (Vietnam food along Killiney Road) last evening. And the decor on top is full of flowers, so daddy was teaching Ashley to pronounce "hua-hua" & point to all the flowers hanging on top. To our surprised, she started to say after him!!! & her mouth movement looks really cute!! hope she can start to learn to speak in this manner... so slowly learning to say each word after us...

Playground

Today's labour day n daddy n mummy are off fr work. They brought me down for slide after breakfast. This is fun! Haha.

Ashley feeding herself!

Ashley prefers to feed herself cereal! Initially had refused to take e cereal cos been a long time since She had them. But she's definitely enjoying herself. :)

Went zoo again.

Yes, mummy n daddy brought me to e zoo again. But tis pic is not fr e zoo. Haha. Funny mummy. Took tis @ causeway pt after our lunch. Very hot today but saw lots of animals. Yeah! N mummy told us today i'll be having a little sibling by end of tis year. Haha. :*

Swimming

Puzzled... why did mummy put on so many things on me??? Am only going for a dip in the pool...

mummy put on the life jacket for babies on me... and the 2 small floats on my arm... & now i can't bend my arms... mummy... u really very funny... even daddy says so too... :(






see my new float?? It's imported from Europe by my yi-yi!! it's very comfy... & most impt, got a rabbit to keep me company!! & when i splash water on her, she dun scream like mummy & daddy! hahaha...

this is really fun!! hope mummy & daddy can bring me to the pool more often!!

But it's very tiring... fell asleep the moment i got in the car after the shower... only had fish ball for lunch...
