Samseng kia!!


That's me in my most samseng kia photo ever.. Mummy says I have a lot more samsengness inside me that she couldnt manage to capture on film, eg putting my foot up on the cross bar of the stroller, yawning LOUDLY, farting loudly, etc etc..

Pretty in pink!

Mummy has gotten me a new hat from Old Navy.. only $4 after shipping! thats why she always shops online and most of my clothes are from overseas sprees (mummy says i only wear IMPORTED clothes - as if I am such a pampered baby.. but the truth is that these clothes are much cheaper and nicer than those from stores in sg!).



Nice?? Mummy carried me to the mirror to look at myself and I was soo captivated by my reflection that I squealed in joy and forgot that I actually do not like things to be on my head (this includes headbands, caps, any form of headgear)!



Notice my mouth? That's apparently my fav expression for the month - making my mouth look like it is one straight line.. mummy associates it with the fact that I am teething!

Cereal anyone??

Today mummy finally decided to give me my first taste of cereal (Healthy Times Brown rice cereal). Have waited a LOOOONG time.. and after much procrastinating on mummy's part + urging on papa's part, I finally got to eat something else other than milk at 5 mths 1 wk old!! Mummy was feeling guilty about not waiting till I am 6 mths before giving me my cereal, but gave in in the end cos I was showing all the signs of readiness for weaning (extreme interest in what papa/mummy are eating, decreased milk intake, ability to sit with minimal support).

anyway, the cereal was YUMMYYYY!!!! couldnt wait for mummy to scoop up the cereal and shovel it in.. so I decided to yell when she was slow!! Mummy was very scared that I would gag cos i kept lunging at the spoon and taking hold of the entire spoon. however, mummy gave me only 5-6 small spoons cos it is my 1st time eating cereal.. where got enough?? Of course, I showed my displeasure by screaming even louder when it finished.. hehe :P mummy was most pleased to see that I didnt push the food out with my tongue.. another sign that she didnt start me on cereal too early.

plan is to continue me on cereal till I am 6 mths old, then slowly intro vegs and fruits.

Here are some pics of me enjoying my FOOOOD...



Muummm mummmm....



YUMMY!!

Batam here I come!!

What wonderful parents I have!! Fancy being brought overseas at the tender age of 4 months! That's why I was sooo excited when I heard that mummy is making me a passport.. cos why else would I need a passport for?? (see.. clever baby knows how to make clever associations hehehe)

I was absolutely thrilled to hear that we were headed for Batam for a 4D3N stay at Batam View Beach Resort. Apparently mummy had a big headache trying to pack my things.. had to bring my diapers (she took 30 pieces along!), lots of clothes, my swimming float, my new swimming costume, toys, bottles, sterilising tablets, breast pump, ice packs, milk bags, etc etc.. in the end, Papa, mummy, yeye and nai nai shared 1 cabin luggage, while my belongings were stuffed into another BIG luggage! imagine that!

Day 1 ( 10 Oct)

Today is incidentally Papa and Mummy's 2nd wedding anniversary!! To think that last year this time they had no idea I was coming along to wreck their lives yet hyak hyak hyak.. well well, HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY mummy and papa!!

unfortunately, poor mummy is sick today. she has fever and a bad throat.. She caught this bad bug from me. Sorry mummy.. but it ain't my fault you know.. I caught it from Uncle KS!! But thanks to mummy's liquid gold, my fever subsided within a day and I was fit as a fiddle the next day!

Here I am having a chat with Grandpa Zhou before we board the ferry for Batam. Yeye as usual is busy making sure the environment is conducive enough for me to sleep!



To mummy's relief, I sleep through the bumpy ferry ride. And before I know it, tadah... we are already at Batam!

As mummy and papa are too giam to fork out extra cash for a baby cot, they have planned to make me sleep on a small sofa next to the bed. Here I am frolicking happily before bedtime! Doesnt my new bed look cozy enough?



Dont I look like a pink eskimo?



Day 2 (11 Oct)

Mummy decides to bring me to dip my toes in the pool..


And to her surprise, I actually smiled! (alas, mummy failed to capture it on cam..) next step moving forward (moving forward?? what does that mean?? must be mummy writing too many papers and emails at work la..) would be to bring me for a proper dip in the pool!

That's me in my new swimming costume (cheap cheap buy from taka - only $9.90 nia!)


Enjoying my new float (mummy decided to get me this one with a cover so that I wont get too tanned since I am already rather blackish)


Swimming's fun!!! Too bad I was just recovering from flu, so I was only allowed to stay in the water for 10min.. Mummy has promised to bring me swimming again soon though.. I really really hope she keeps her promise!

Day 3 (12 Oct)

We decide to go explore the rest of Batam.. went to Batam Mega Mall for some shopping. Papa and mummy only managed to buy medicines for me (bisolvon) and antibiotics for mummy since she was still having fever. I was also starting to have a bad cough again so we headed back to the hotel after lunch to rest some more. Mummy tried to feed me during lunch and got stared at by the waitresses!! poor mummy felt so paiseh!

Day 4 (13 Oct)

Our last day in the hotel...

Firstly, we took pictures on our balcony where there were pretty bougainvillae plants!


MUACCCK!!


Next stop was the small but clean beach where papa went crazy taking pictures again!


Papa and mummy in a rare photo alone together..


Sir Stamford Raffles the wannabe..


Last but not least, we went to the playground!!

Mummy brought me on the swing..


And on the slide.. (she sat me on her lap and we swooshed down the slide together! so fun!)


Crawling through the tunnel with mummy..who looks like she is having more fun than me (yawn..)


The gorgeous view from our hotel room (nice eh??)


Phew.. long post we have there. Soo tired and jet lagged now - hmm i think I shall go catch up on some sleep now! tadah!!

Sentosa!!

We had a family outing to Sentosa today! So exciting cos this is theoretically my first trip overseas (the body of water between Sg and sentosa also considered the sea right..)!


In the lift heading up the Cable Car tower for my first cable car ride!


Papa holding me up for a better view in the cable car


First stop : Underwater world!


Me and mummy


Looking eagerly into the small pond in Underwater world


Absolutely fascinated by the Nemos swimming around behind mummy. THis is also one of papa's fav pics of the day!


Yeye, nai nai and me


Mummy (singing) : Incey Wincey spider climbing up the spout
Papa (exasperated tone) : What spider??? thats a CRAB la!! (decides to carry me closer to show me exactly what a crab is)


Absolutely whacked after being overstimulated by fishes, crabs, what have you at underwater world

Our last and final stop was at Musical Fountain. I was a good girl and sat through the whole 40min show without fussing.. even enjoyed the laser show and fireworks that followed! Mummy and papa were so proud of me that they promised to bring me out more :)

My new playmat!

Papa says mummy really spends money like water.. mummy's defence is that she loves me a lot and wants the best for me that she can afford!

As evidence of how much she 'loves' me.. She went and ordered a new play mat for me!! its called the sweetbear bumper mat (from smallsmallworld on SMH forum).. and it costs a whopping $120 (original $169 so to mummy that's a GOOD deal!). Jiu Jiu partially sponsored this with his $88 angbao for my full month.. and mummy topped up the rest!

Here I am enjoying my playmat for the first time!
