Mobility
== He moves around the house mainly by crawling, still dare not walk without support though he enjoy walking about with his hands being held.
== He can stand unsupported momentarily.
== He likes to pick things up and place them in bottles, boxes, containers.
== He is able to climb down from the bed, buttocks and legs first. Even stairs, with some assistance. His record is climbing up and down stair for close to 30 times in a day. tired me. We have bought stairs divider and think this tool can ease us at times
== He will pick up rubbish on the floor and crawl to dusbin, press to open and throw into the dusbin

Other means of communication
== He sign pain, but in his own way by touching the part where he hurt
== He expresses her happiness by clapping hands and showing his "geram" face
== He stuck out his tougue when he know he did something wrong. We noticed he is afraid of his dagu and dare not do "bad " thing in front of her.

Emotions and character
== He’s still clingy now, preferring me,daddy and popo over most people. However, he only fusses a little before she allows another person to carry or handle him.

==He loves books, flipping them, pointing at the pictures, saying the names of familiar objects by saying similiar sound.His favourite book now is "old hat new hat" , dont know why, he will sure flip to the last page and shout out excitedly

==He enjoys En En program occasionally, especially when Mickey Mouse opening music being played "its Mickey mouse clubhouse, come inside, its fun inside ". Also, he quite like programme "Johnny and the sprites", he can sit at the sofa watching together with En En; but it will not last more than 10 minutes.

==He’s rather independant (when mummy not with him), daddy can normally leave her alone with some toys or books, and he can keep himself occupied.

==He enjoy pulling out our glassed and put on his face, when u show him angry face,he will smile at you in return. He is very fast at action and will quickly switch to left hand when we still busy monitoring his right hand movement

==He will shout out and drag your body to doorstep when he notice someone have changed to different outfit.

==He likes fish very much and enjoy listen to song " fishes, fishes, where are you".He will take his relax time and enjoy seeing fishes swimming in the pool.

I have somewhat lost some motivation to blog the past 2 months as evident in my short list of posts. It's not that the two kids aren't doing anything interesting or funny to note, just that I have been bothering over small lumps that we discovered near En En's ear, we have seek few doctor advice...PD, surgeon and chinese doctor and was given comment not to worry too much but somehow i just don't feel comfortable when the color turned bit redness and the size seems grow slightly bigger over past 2 wks, now just continue to feed her chinese medicine and will then decide on the next... sigh, if only we can buy health . Now, whenever I have any more time, I feel guilty blogging, so instead I spend together with both of them.

For yesterday and tonight, its the first time i sleeping alone without laughter of my sweetie and cutie, daddy should be having sweet time now fishing near the jetty, so envy of him, i hardly have time for myself especially after i move back to KL, i have been really busy build up my Kumon career plus take turn with daddy to take care two of them.

I am pleased to be taking things a little easier recently, or at least I am trying... Will try to find time for more hobbies that I want to pick up! Gotta take more pictures of everything that is going on in my life though...

Now am countingdown to our S'pore trip.... watch this space! I am gonna to bring them to the kids playground at Botanic garden, east coast and En's favourite games place...

for myself, will want to shop for nice and smart attire for the little one and not forgetting for myself and dear.

I believed En & Ze shall have great time spending time at her yeeyee place.

wait for our arrival, my friends in S'pore, we shall have memorable gathering.

En finally mastered cycling skill but too bad... bicycle out of order


good helper to daddy. daddy is ZZZZZ



doing gardening with ah gong who jog, drive, golf, and perform daily activities just like young man at age of 80. Really full of energy , kudos !!

Look!! She participate actively during reharsal time

Theme of the concert- Our World A Better Place


My sweet little flower

Not forgetting Ethan who gave fullest support to her jie jie by clapping haands and behaving well during the two hours concert time

My little princess En En has been choosen to become little flower on her school concert.
Can tell that she is excited about this performance as she knows very well each character of her classmate will be performing and very frequent i can hear her practise the theme song "our world A better place" during her TV watching interval time, shower or even teeth brushing time :)

Daddy and mummy got a shock of our life when we first seen En En appear on stage.
We had never seen her in nice pretty dress with her (she dont like to wear nice dress except for her Mickey Mouse attire and she will never agree to wear on any nice hair clip)

Me at first was worried that she will have stage phobie as she is kind of shy girl but daddy have confidence on her and mentioned " she can do it", and we can tell that she really enjoy her time on stage.

En En, daddy and mummy are so proud of you !!

Video clip for you to enjoy !!( gosh, not able to upload another video with En dancing,mummy will try again)

This is another postdated blog.

En school term end on 23 Nov and me and daddy went for meet the parents session with her class teacher - teacher kennie and teacher Juliet.

Teacher Kennie's comment was :
Zo En's strength lies in formation of words. She has s sharp hearing capability and is able to figure out the sentence and forms the words. She enjoy doing this exercise. Nevertheless, her writing skills needs to be improved as she does not write in sequence. She has a keen sense of particapation in class.

I am glad to head from teacher that she always choose to sit in the front row during class hour rather than sitting in the corner and always raise question when in doubt and she enjoy music and movement and story telling session.

The improvement i can see on her is her diet as everyday she will share with me she has eaten vege, meat...in school which she used to be fussy eater :)

hello everyone !!!

it has been a month since i last updated my blog....life has really been busy for me and there is something really bothering me.... well, life still goes on, just move on man.

My first Kumon English class finally "kick off" after all the parents meeting, staff training, interview,preparation for material.. phew !! its really new learning experience for me and really thanks to daddy's support during this superb-busy period as its really not easy and no joke to take care two toddler at the same time plus taking care of their daily food intake with numerous work.

For Ethan, he is little explorer now with hobby of climbing up and down staircase with no tired sign, its really good exercise for daddy and mummy and daddy just commented to me he actually "slimmed" down with muscles result from this activity, good sign !!! Ethan, please continue with ur habit :)

En has become more and more emotional, sometimes when i scold her, she will tell me : "mummy, i am about to cry, you make me sad again", her message make me pause for moment, did i scold her out of my anger or for her good sake ?????

Recently, favourite conversation between me and daddy as below:

Mummy : hey, Ethan (or En En) cute or not??? (looking at either of them with "geram" expression)
Daddy : CUTEEE !!

heee, a bit "bian tai" but i think this is by parent's nature, please bear with us :0

For those who miss them (especially dagugu :) below are some photoes to share :



"maman, maman " , Ethan's expression when given his favourite food
