Cheeky Little Me!

On Valentine's Day, I gave Mommy a fright of her life :)


Well, Amah had been taking me down to play the "pop pop" during the Chinese New Year season. It was supposed to give a "pop" sound when we threw it to the floor. So, when Daddy and Mommy came to Amah's place that day, which was also the "Pai Tin Gong Day", I suggested to Daddy and Mommy that I wanted to play that. So, we got ready to go down...



And when we reached the swimming pool area, Daddy gave one to me, and guessed what I did?




Well, if you still didn't get it, here's another version of that...



Yes, I enjoyed throwing them at Mommy. See, I was running towards the camera direction (Mommy was holding the camera, wanting to record me playing "pop pop", but little did she expect that I'll be throwing it at her!).

Hehe, I guess Mommy won't let me play with it anymore next time :)

A trip to the Kek Lok Si Temple

Daddy and Mommy took me to the Kek Lok Si Temple on the 7th day of the Lunar New Year. It's my first time there, and it was brightly lit up.

Our first stop was the souvenir shop where I was curious about almost everything.




After that, we decided to go up the hill, using a lift-like thing. And guess what's up there? Yes, all the 12 horoscope animals! I enjoyed taking photos with them. In fact I've been insisting Daddy to carry me up so that I can sit on them and pose for the camera.




While waiting for the queue to get up the animals, I noticed one girl was posing in such a way that she put two fingers in front of her eyes. And ever since then, I've been imitating her...




It took some time for Daddy and Mommy to pull me away from the animals when it's time to go home. Oh, by the way, I turned 26 months old today, and it also happened to be the birthday of everyone (according to Chinese believe, since it's the 7th day of the Chinese New Year).

Chor 2 & 3 in Ipoh

We went back to Gong Gong and Poh Poh's house on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. Mommy dressed me in a princess-like purple dress, but she forgot to take pictures of that. That's because I slept all the way to Ipoh, and when I reached Poh Poh's house, they changed me into something cooling since it was so hot there. This time, I felt very at-home at once, unlike previous times when I would stick to Mommy or Daddy. I guess I've had enough ice-breaking sessions with them during my stay there last Christmas (that's the longest time I've been staying there so far). I could even play with Gong Gong and Poh Poh without having Mommy or Daddy to be at my side. I taught Gong Gong how to play the "Things That Go Together Puzzle", since it's his first time playing it. But of course, initially I wouldn't let them touch my toys.

I also had a fun time playing duet with Ta Yi Ma on the piano. She's an expert, so I just chipped in here and there :)


Btw, I could also play my own version, and sing along to it as well. They said I have a soprano voice, what do you think?



Snapshots of what I've been up to while in Ipoh:

And I've certainly been busy too...doing things that I can't normally do back in Penang.

Hey, I can reach the tap!

Practising on the piano...

Running the treadmill

and of course, climbing up and down the stairs!

Finally, it's time to go back. We managed to have some family photos. Too bad Ta Yi Ma had left earlier to avoid the jam so we didn't manage to take photos with her.

I certainly enjoyed my stay there. Well, won't you if you're the centre of attention? :)

Ushering in the Minnie Year!

Guess what arrived just on time for our Chinese New Year? Yes, our camera! It came just right on time, after being sent for repair for nearly 3 months! And here's a photo of me and Mommy on the eve of the Lunar New Year (both of us in our pajamas.)

We had our reunion dinner at Amah's house just now, but Mommy forgot to take pictures. I slept right after that, and only woke up at about 12am when they started to let off the fire crackers. I got a shock at first, and insisted to go home because I couldn't tolerate the loud bangs. But after some coaxing from Daddy, finally I agreed to go kai kai instead. Daddy took Amah, Mommy and me to visit the Buddhist temples in town.

We went home quite late that day, about 2am in the morning. But I was not sleepy at all, and only slept at 4am that day! So, the next morning when Daddy woke me up to go pai nien, it was already very late. Mommy had a hard time trying to dress me in my new cheongsam, since I'd rather go out in my pajama instead. Finally, she succeeded. You wanna know how? Well, she made me dance with her. My mood became better after that, and I let her put on the cheongsam for me. But hey, I was still so sleepy...

Me and Daddy...

Don't you think our clothes tone were a matching pair? Well, actually Mommy was also wearing the same color tone, but too bad we forgot to take photos of the photographer that day :)

At our condo's lobby, preparing to go to Amah's house...

Me and Amah...

We went to pai nien in Tua Yi Poh's house. But I was in a bad mood because I didn't have enough sleep, so I kept asking Daddy to take me home. Normally we would have a steamboat lunch there with the rest of Amah's relatives, but that day since I was throwing a tantrum, all of us didn't get to eat much. So, on our way to Im Poh's house, we stopped by at Mc Donalds for a quick bite. Which turned out to be not too quick after all, and I'm sure you can guess why :)

Yes, I managed to get some fun rides before we left. After that, we continued with our pai nien routine. By the time we're done, all of us were exhausted. We went home for a nap before getting ready to Amah's place for dinner.

And I still had time for a little mischief - see what I was up to? :)

Gong Xi Fatt Chai!

Chinese New Year is just round the corner. And I've been taught how to say Gong Xi Fatt Chai by Chik Chik and Amah. They said I was supposed to greet people with these words, and I've been practising hard. And now, I could say it out by myself :)
And oh yes. I was supposed to make sure that the camera setting is right this time. But it happened again. So, you might not be able to see me clearly. I was posing with a big smile in my chinese costume (which was bought by Mommy last year for cousin Sarah, but she couldn't fit into it already so Kim Poh let me wear it instead). And did you see my new shoes? Yes, finally I could wear it now, it's a birthday gift from Aunty Joyce. My, how fast I've grown!
