CNY 2009

Not much pics for CNY 2009.. all the following pics are courtesy of Ma2 Ma4/Jiu4 Jiu4 and Third grandaunt :)

Posing with the cute little dog at Great Grand Aunt's place.. to mummy's horror, i showed no sign of fear and was dying to pat and hug the doggy! And yes, the pic above and below were taken when mummy was not around to guard me.

papa witnessed me patting this gentle old fellow's head.. unfortunately I wasnt exactly very gentle. Apparently, it was more like thumping that i did :P thankfully my hand still remains firmly attached to my arm now. Must learn to be as forgiving and patient as brown doggy here.

A very toot picture of me trying to pose on the stairs at gong gong's house..

family picture at Great grandpa's house!

Another family pic with my dearest Gonggong, mama and jiu jiu.. dont we look happy? now, if only i was looking at the camera...

Picture with grand aunt ''lao2 Ee1" (ma2 ma4's sis). I have decided to do a weird pose again..

Cheese!!! with lao ee and ma2 ma4 :)

At the end of the 2 days.. mummy realised to her horror that we actually forgot to take a nice picture of just me, mummy and papa! we dont even have one with ye ye and nai nai :( papa has promised that we will take a family pic, this time with 4D in it next year!! :)

Gareth's full month party

Today we attended Mummy's cousin's baby boy Gareth's full month party at Boon Lay. Prior to today, mummy and ma2 ma4 were both so worried I would freak and cry buckets again like I always did whenever I met mummy's extended family. So this time, I was psychoed for an entire week, that I was not to cry, and to say hello and smile to everybody. I was even showed pictures of the extended family.. that's how desperate mummy and ma2 ma4 were :)

Thankfully, with all the training, i didnt disgrace mummy after all! After the initial clinging onto mummy, I was soon too busy looking at adorable baby Gareth to be scared of Grandaunts/Granduncles. Towards the end of the lunch, I was virtually best friends with Biao Ee (Mummy's cousin Audrey) cos she was helping feed (bribe) me with raisins while mummy was eating her lunch.

After the full month, I also got to play at the playground! But for a mere 5 minutes only *pout* Gong gong is paranoid I will pick up weird germs.... shhh... he doesnt know I spend half an hour at the playground EVERY morning. hehe :)

Ang Pao pls??

Mummy has been trying to teach me to say Happy new yr complete with hand actions since last Sunday but I have refused to cooperate and just ignores her everytime she tries to teach me. Last evening however, when she came back from work, I decided to surprise mummy by saying Happy New Year and did the gong xi gong xi action. Mummy was so delighted!

I gave her a bigger surprise later when I chimed Happy New Year at her again, and followed up with "ang pau??" soon after I said Happy new Year! Ye ye, nai nai and mummy were hysterical.. and thot I must have picked up the ang pau phrase cos mummy has been telling me that I have to wish pp happy new year before I can get the ang pau!

I have also been pretty much a parrot recently, mimicking whatever I hear pp saying around me. 2 days ago, mummy was chatting with gu1 gu1 when she let slip an Oh my god.. before she knew it, I was chiming ohmigodohmigod.. mummy immediately had a knee jerk reaction where she said Oh S**T... luckily i was too busy chanting ohmigod and didnt catch on to the other phrase.. phew for mummy hehe.. Mummy vows to watch her language even more closely in front of me now. :P

I also went for my first LNT class (proper one, not trial) yesterday. Yeye and nai nai brought me and reported that I enjoyed the class and paid attention about 90% of the time and didnt run around! I also surprised sinseh at the end of the class when i chimed sayonara in response to her own goodbyes! However, I stubbornly refused to repeat performance more than once at home to Mummy's chagrin!
