My kids (Oct 2011)

Hi.. I think i should update all in one post. Made the works easy!

We went to the beach at Sg Batu, Penang on Sept, 2011. It's Yang kiddy function. Too bad Mann didn't follow because she just recover for fever. Bring her to the beach is not a good idea. Jing and Yang having fun at there. Mummy and Tanz just sat under the tree and SAW the other kids playing around. Promised the kids will be there again and MUST bring Mann together.

Jing (8 yo and 5 mths)

Really a challenge for me! Her life just marks and competing, That's all! I wonder should I stop her to go to school? Away from those negative influence?

Yang (just reach 6 yo)

Having his birthday celebration at kiddy. He's happy that i bought him a Angry Bird's birthday cake. Then ho... no photo was taken, because i forgot to bring along the camera. Hm... let the sweet memory kept in his mind la!
Seem like he really HATES homework, he will refuse to do even need to write only 3 lines of sentences. yer... Headache!

Mann (2 yo and 3 mths)

hu... Now she really knows how to made simple sentences. Not consider speech delay. She is without any nappy during day time now,so more works for the whole family to remind her to go to toilet. Night, sorry mummy can't woke up lo.

Tanz (14 weeks) Weight:5.2kg Height:59cm

Yes, she is free from jaundice now since 10 weeks old,means no more to and from clinic every weeks. Yippy!
She increased 1 kgs in a mth.Not bad ha?!
Her head getting strong now. She can recognize her name and will search for it when you call her name.
She wants grandpa to carry when she noticed he is around. Will cry even cranky just because want to ask grandpa to carry. To where? jalan-jalan whole kampong! hehe...

Daddy and mummy
Mummy (me la) is a SAHM now. Having enough time to breastfeed the little one. No more pumping, sterilize, keep, arrange, reheat... breast milk. Feel so GREAT now!! Daddy - busy bee!

My kids (Aug 2011)

MOST IMPORTANT THINGS - THE ELDER LOVES TANZ. HAPPY, RIGHT?

Jing. 8 yr and 2 mths.

I found that she's kept "changing". Never show any interested in any matter. Ah... the Malaysia education system did "trained" her like that. Everything, wait and the answer will "fly" to her! But one thing is good, she still done very well on her homework, no need mummy to keep call and call, just the same thing, very ugly writing. It's all my fault, when she is young i told her wrote in propel and right way enough.

Yang. 5 yrs and 10 mths.

Stickied to mummy only, like super glue! After delivered Tanz, more shows to watch. Even in kiddy he can cry looking for mummy... Cry every night,cause need to do his homework lo. He still not really strong at his wrist yet, so still facing writing problem. Need more trainings.

Mann. Reached her 2 yr old at 3 July!

But since I am in confinement so just had a small celebration for her. I bought her a new dress and daddy got her a new toy. She first very happy with her cake, but when asked to blow her cake, she's scared! May be due i kept on telling her fire is dangerous.
She is now can speak to combine 2 different words and trying to made sentences by using main words only. Basically i can understand lo. But... she's used pacifier so a bit "chao leng tai". LOL
She's love to sing. Now can sing half of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (in English and Mandarin), Wa Wa Guo （娃娃国）and Ke Ren Lai (客人来）.
She behaved very well even i delivered Tanz. So lucky I am!

Tanz. 6 weeks.

Weight:4.2kgs. Length: 53cm.
She knew how to smile! And when she is awake, she will look for someone to talk, sing and play with her. She will give you a very nice and beautiful smile! She love to sleep on someone arm. She can sleep for N hour if is on someone arm or beside mummy. Headache! I can't do any works!
Still breastfeed, very well. This moo mummy is feeding on her demand so never know how much she need and the time gap between 2 feeding. This few night, she's too full till she vomited!
She still jaundice, reduced very slow. But never mind, confirmed is breast milk jaundice. Since the level still above 200umol/L, so will wait till 6 weeks old then only allow to inject for Hep B jab.

Hubby and I - we are happy with the present of 4 kids! no 5??? LOL hubby is sweating!!!

Mann is going to 21 mths old lo!

This is me, Mann.



I love dye curry, same as Yang.



Mummy is back! Must try hard to open the door for mummy.



I am watching my favorite VCD, don't disturb me, please.

So lazy to update about her.

Finally, she is going to 21 mths on April 2011.

What she can do right now:

1) She started to talk. Calling everyone she know, basically Papa, Mama, 姐姐（elder sister）, 哥哥 （elder brother）, 阿嫲（grandma）, 爷爷（grandpa）, Wu Wu (Should be 叔叔，uncle), and 姨（auntie）, including some basic words like 喝水(drink water), 要，不要（want or don't want），这个（This one），排（stacking blocks） ，开（Open or other meaning move， please），yiyi （dirty），坐（Sit），kaikai （walk walk），Hot, 擦（mop or wipe), etc. Still can hear she is in her own language.

2)She appreciated when anyone gave her somethings, she will say Xie Xie (Thank you.)

3)Love to sing. Every morning (when i am not at home), she will choose VCD and asked Ah Ma to play for her. And usually she only will sit there for maximum 15 minutes only, then it's become background music for her. She loves Chinese New Year song and Ai YoYo teacher teaching English VCD.

4）She can eat by herself now. She just loves soup. I don't mind she meshed up, i want her to be independent and enjoy every meal.

5)Still on cloth diaper. She still don't understand must use potty or go to toilet by herself. But she will pull the cloth diaper out when it's wet.

6)Loves to bath. Anytime and anytime also no problem.

7)She loves to smile to everyone. Especially her Chicky smile made everyone want to pitch her, this is what she hates!

8)Knowing that when daddy and mummy is going to work and when is the time to go walk walk.

9)Others than daddy and mummy, anyone change their cloth, she will grasp on that person leg or stand beside the door or bring her show to ask anyone to put on for her. Then she will started to wave bye bye to everyone.

10)She love to disturb Jing and Yang because she want to write or color too.

11) Loves story book especially those have a lot of words. She will point it and READ by herself i her own language.

12) She love to wear beautiful cloths. She will started to dance when i put on her a cloth that she never wear (usually belongs to other kid's cloth). She don't mind 2nd hand cloth,even when you told that the cloth belongs to A, B or C.

13) Loves to play with adults shoe. She will wear the shoe and walk the whole house, especially high heel with Kik Kok, Kik Kok sound.

14) By the way,she know how to unwear herself. She just follow what the elder do, including standing to pee because she saw how Yang's pee before.

15)Don't like sweet and sour things. She loves bitter food, especially bitter gound.

16) Still don't like to eat fruits except banana. Don't ask me why, i think because it's sweet. Luckily she loves to eat vegetables.

17)No more night drinks! Wa hoo!!! She can sleep from 930pm to 730am, only once in a week woke up at 530am to ask for milk only.

18) Still want her pacifier to go to bed. Very hard to wean it, but at least she is not looking for it whole day. Takes time.

Coming 13th April is her next check u p at Klinik Kesihatan Berapit. Want to know how she is now because almost 60% of her Chinese New Year cloths become so short.

God bless me to such a lovely daughter!

This a hip carrier - Scootababy. This one suitable for my mum who helps me to take care of Mann during day time. She said more convience compare to back carry. She want to "look" at Mann's face, i think.

She is 1 now!

Sorry for the late update. I was too busy...

Ok, day before Mann's birthday hubby and decided to held a small family party for her. Since Jie Jie and Kor Kor has once before.

So what's the menu? We bought a 1/2kg cartoon cake, Sheng Li fried chicken (taste 1000X better than KFC), fruit juice too (too lazy to made myself.), i cook fried Mee diao (a teochew must have birthday dish), red egg, vege curry, Korean BBQ fish, and my sister brought some junk foods. That's all.

Who were invited? Total just 17 ppl. What a small family, and i should have more children to contribute a bit to Lee's family?? wahaha...

Ok, i told everyone the party will be start at 6pm. And everyone was waiting for hubby to get home till 7pm! Dun ask me what he have done, i already very "hot" with his excuse!

Mann's started to made noise once hubby brought Jing and Yang together,but not with her. They went to get the birthday cake, fried chicken and fruit juice. She was so UNSATISFIED with what daddy done. Grandpa brought her walk with motor bike, she refused! Ok, walk around the house, she started making noise after 5 minutes. I drag her to take a bath, after bath, still cranky. When Ah Ma's arrived, ok, she can behave well for 10 minutes. Then arriving of others guess. She just refused to play with others. Aiyo... so yao sheng kak! When daddy's back, she insisted want daddy to carry her!

Then it's photo section, snap snap snap...it's digital camera so can snap how many i want. After snap, we all finished the food in 30 minutes! Kia Si Lang!

Mann is turning 1. Wah... time just flieddddd.... i just believed that!
From the moment i knew that i pregnant wt her till now, it's really a fantastic experience or memory to me.
I have to go through terrible morning sickness, even need to admitted, the horrible experience delivered in Penang Maternity Hospital (What a suck hospital!!), sweet memory when she first latch on me (unfortunately just 9 mths she allowed me to be milk factory. What's a sad!), excited memory when first meet with Jing and Yang (Yang was so disappointed when i told is SHE.), then her first smile, first turn, first crawl, first cruising, first word (off cause "mom mom" first,means food. 2nd word is mum mum. No more Pa Pa first like Jing and Yang.), first tooth, first walking (in very short distance.)... all these happened in one year time only. I just can't believe it!
After 6 hours old, she suck her own hands to show that she wants milk.
She started addicted to pacifier after 2 weeks old, mummy just can't start she wants to be nurse 24 hours! I am not a good mother,i trained her with pacifier.
She can turn when she just pass 3 months old.
By 4 months old, when she sleep she rolled the whole queen size bed!
Since 5 1/2 months old, she started to have her first tooth. Till today, she have 6 of them!
Her first food at 6 months old - rice frank. She can eat a lots! But till today she still so mini size!
Since she's 8 months old, she started call "mom mom" when she saw any food. Then she called Mum Mum and Ah Ma after woke up. (Ah Ma means Grandma. My mum take care of her when i am at work.)
She crawl when she just 6 months old. She start to learn to walk when she just 7 months old. She holds and walks. Today, after 3 days from her 1 year old birthday, she's walking! She's just stand up and start to walk at least 3 meters! Refused any help!
She started to show her naughty temper when she's at 9 months old. She understand that she can have everything she want by showing her naughty temper. Headache! She even started to disturbing Jing and Yang by this month. What's Jing and Yang doing she also want to follow. haha...

Oh... My Mann! I wished her have a wonderful life!

During 10 months second week, she knew how "write" on paper. Jing and Yang need to do some homework, to avoid Mann disturbing I need to find her a Jumbo pencil and some paper. She just loves to "write” on paper. But after 3 days, she rejected the paper I gave and want to "write” on Jing or Yang's book too. I started "consult" her liao CAB NOT WRITE/DRAW ON THE WELL/FLOOR... ONLY PAPER! I also offer her magnetic board to draw, she just love it.

During 10 months third weeks, she started to show that she want to eat by her own. gave her some baby biscuit in a bowl and spoon too. So she can play with it for 1/2 hr, mean everyone can be FREE so 1/2 hr. LOL Beside that, she started calling "mama" when looking for me. Just melted my heart!

During 10 months forth week, she can walk 2, 3 steps! When she stands by her own and anyone beside her she will walk toward him. While she walks, she laughs by her own. Seem like she was enjoying that moments!

Fully 11 months, oh... I can see her 5th teeth liao! And started to making more noise or cried very very loud like someone beat her just because she can’t get her thing by her own or fight with Jing and Yang for things she want, even it’s not for her. She was so manja to daddy!

Then after 5 second, started " EK, EK, HEK, HEK" sound, louder sound. After another 5 second " OGEK, OGEK..." CRYING liao... So let her cried, if i am busy in the toilet or cooking.

After feeding, need to entertain her! Talk with her and play with her, if she didn't back to sleep. ON MY hand , OK? neverever think about put her back to the bourcer.

When Yeh Yeh at home, he just LOVE to carry once Mann making noise. Tu lah... now Mann habit - can't put her back to bourcer is she is awake.
