Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to MEE, happy birthday to me!

This year I had only a simple birthday celebration, unlike my 1st year birthday bash. Mummy and papa ordered a cake for me, and ask waigong, waipo, jiujiu, ah yi over to celebrate together. I was feeling a bit 'stage fright' because they all sing birthday song for me. But I smile happily when blowing the candle and cutting the cake.

The cake was vanilla flavour, my favourite.

Not much pictures was taken becoz I was not cooperative but mummy managed to have some captured, mummy will upload when she is free, maybe tonight or tomorrow. Mummy busy as she is working both "morning and night shifts."

Mummy feel bad for not bringing me out to play on my birthday but I know mummy need to go hospital. Mummy will make up to me next time, maybe to the zoo??

Oh Yeah forget to mention I got a Elmo bag, elmo bowl, elmo spoon and elmo cup from mummy! Jiujiu who always surprise me, he gave me a remote toy car! And I also got red packets but I don't know how much, mummy keep for me.

I am 2 already.. how time flies.. it seems like just yesterday I just had my 1st birthday bash only.

I make mummy don't know to laugh or angry today. haha. Mummy was bathing me in the morning, then mummy go get towel for me then came back she was surprised to see me holding a banana-shaped lump of shit, yes my shit and place on the toilet floor! I had pooed in the water! And I am bathing in my own poo water because the tub water is filled with cube-sized shits floating all around!

Mummy quickly use tissue take the big shit throw inside toilet bowl, wipe the toilet floor a bit, pour away the tub water and quickly re-bathe me.

I feel nothing out of the ordinary, I was still playing with water as usual only got additional toy to play with today.

Mummy.. well at least.. I helped you save 1 piece of diaper today. hehe.

Mummy nowadays after asking me to greet her, hug her, kiss her, mummy will ask me a question 'do you love mummy?'

I don't understand what the word love means so I shake shake head.

Mummy show me sad face then I quickly nod my head(actually is body coz my body will nod together with my head)
And then I will see mummy smile smile, Mummy will then hug me say she loves me too.

I guess love means don't want to see mummy sad, so I do love mummy afterall.

Yes.. everybody say so.. haiz.. make my papa angry, make mummy not enuf sleep at night coz if I fuss a bit bit and mummy not in time to pat me back to sleep and I wake up, I will throw temper coz I'm so sleepy yet I am awake! Mummy wanna carry me, sayang me, ask me want water anot or sing songs to me, I shake my head furiously in anger. After throw temper and cry finish, then I will go to mummy for sayang.

Last night was one of the nights.. woke up ard 2am, I won't stop throwing temper then papa open my fave hi-5 lemme watch. Until 4am then I go sleep but I still wake up early in the morning.

Okie hopefully I will be a good boy most of the nites okie.

I had my last injection last thursday-18mths booster jab. I didn't feel anything when the needle inside me but I whine when doctor took it out. Everybody say I am a brave boy coz I didn't cry that hard. But it was painful when Grandma tried to rub rub my hand.

I was given a dose of baby panadol just in case I got fever, but on the same thur evening, mummy realized I felt warm on my neck and face, yes I am running a fever at 37.8 degrees. I was given neurofen which is a stronger medicine for fever. Wonder if its coincidence or what, because injection don't cause flu and cough? But I was down with fever, flu and cough after that night. Mummy barely slept for 1-2hrs, either I wake up and fuss, mummy need to patpat me, else mummy need to measure my temperature and give me medicine in the middle of the night. my fever went down after taking medicine but after that seems to go up again.My cough sounds dry and I gulp down lotsa water, my flu gets worse when I cry, thus mummy tends to give in to me to whatever I want.

Oh Yeah happy lantern festival to everybody, I tasted mooncake and likes a lot coz its very sweet. Hee hee.

Tonight I be going to the open field beside compass pt to celebrate mid-autum, heard got free lantern and free buffet! Yeah! My 2nd time celebrating coz last year I was still very small to understand. Mummy now working but hopes I am better later so can enjoy myself more 2night.

Last night I busybody run into the kitchen when Grandma washing floor and I had a bad fall on the back of my head, Grandma was both angry and scared at the same time, mummy quickly rub my head and later put 'zambak' hoping won't blue black, lucky so far don't have but still everybody worry for me, papa, now in KL go 'wah lau' when he heard abt my accident.

Today I am home alone with mummy because Grandma & Grandpa went Malacca for holiday and Papa at KL for work, tomorrow then come back. Mummy today keep checking my head, mummy don't worry I am ok, I did not show any signs of not feeling well.

Nowadays I don't want to drink milk, making mummy worried too, coz my milk intake very little, only 4oz in the morning only but now I don't even feel like drinking. Mummy will feed me cereal so at least I got milk intake. But my solid food intake is a lot but I just don't want milk...

Mummy teaching me how to show my little finger ONE when people ask me how old I am, but I naughty keep showing 3 fingers instead which means NO PROBLEM. haha.

Mummy enjoyed the day with me alone although she misses Papa la.. hee.

Mummy now free free coz I already dozed off at 8pm, I skipped my afternoon nap so very very tired.. Goodnight mummy goodnight everybody.

All thanks to me.. hehehe.. being the naughty boy I am.. mummy always gives in when I ask for her hp.. I will take pictures/videos and send to mummy friends.. I also like to throw mummy hp on the floor, last week I even pour water on mummy handphone camera!! Mummy said her phone got internal injuries and thus she go trade-in to get a new phone!! Just in case the handphone died and no value anymore.

As expected, now mummy don't allow me to touch her new "toy", when mummy wanna take pic of me and I want to take the hp, mummy will say its papa one, then I will not want the hp anymore. Why? Coz I am a good boy when it comes to Papa's hp, when I take Papa hp to play and I saw Papa, I will 'fake fake' act good boy pass the phone to Papa, like helping to take to give him.

Last night I very naughty, I wanna play with the buddha sutra book but mummy say cannot and she keep. I angry crycry then throw tantrum then beat mummy, I use the big bolster push against mummy, then use my small bolster beat mummy also.. I walk to my little chair wanna carry beat mummy but cannot carry so I walk back beat mummy again. Mummy say I naughty and scold me ask me go sayang her but I angry ma so I don't want.. mummy left me there crying till I cry enough then ask mummy sayang. I naughty hor, I always bully mummy one..

Mummy tell papa when papa come home, Papa scold me and also 'scold' mummy, ask mummy next time must 'beat' me when I so naughty wanna beat mummy. Poor mummy got a lecture from Papa.. Mummy ask me can only sayang her cannot beat her. Ok mummy and papa, I will try be good boy...

I never dare to beat Papa coz he so fierce when he scold me, I tried beat Papa but Papa will always scold me. When Papa not angry, I love to play with papa, Papa will carry me high high throw in the air, will tickle me play with me and bring me go see birds!

Yes lo.. yesterday I fell down couple of times and kok my head coz I keep wanting to run now. Last evening I wanna run to mummy then I never see the Aunt's high heel shoes there then I tripped over and fall flat on my nose, then my mouth don't know got hit on the floor or I bit myself, my lower lip keep bleeding. I cried like nothing coz it was so so painful, and I know mummy feels more pain inside her when she sees me like that. Grandma, Grandpa and Mummy was fussing over me after that, scared I might have hurt my nose bone or what, so far seems ok but they rub rub my nose which I don't like. My lower lip is swollen now. Papa came back after work last night see me like this also shake head.  

Last night I did not sleep well, keep waking up coz my lip don't feel good but after mummy carry and pat pat, I manage to get back to sleep.

I am now in the stage of 'running' mode and to-date I got countless accidents on my head, forehead, my nose, my lips, my stomach, my knees, my toes, my hands, fingers.. u name it.. I had it.. I think most serious will be this time round plus few weeks ago I had a deep cut across my stomach, which to-date still got a scar there, hopefully it will disappear soon as its drying up.

Mummy and Papa say should let me wear FULL BODY ARMOUR!!

Thank god, under the care of Grandma during the day and Mummy during the night time, finally yesterday no more hives spotted on me(hopefully no more but I still need to be monitored for at least 2 weeks) and Papa say I am a handsome boy again. Yeah!

Till now, mummy and papa still don't know what is the cause of my hives? Papa suspect could be due to the burning of incense paper because now is hungry ghost month but cannot confirm also coz before that I did not take any new foods apart from a piece of vanilla bread Grandma given me, could it be the bread? Papa suggest me to have an allergy test done??..

Last night I was feeling so uncomfortable and keep scratching myself, mummy thought was mozzies bites and quickly paste the anti-mozzie patch on me. But I didn't stop there, mummy then realized I got patches of redness on parts of my stomach, armpits, ankles. Mummy heartache, the same feeling when I got bitten by bad mozzies the other time. Mummy thought might be heat rashes thus pull me to have a night bathe, clean me up and powder me until smell nice nice. The whole night I din sleep well, neither did Mummy, coz I was feeling so itchy all over. I woke up at 530am this morning, don't want paci, don't want water, don't want milk, don't want mummy carry even, just cry and cry. Mummy and papa opened my favourite Hi-5 dvd for me to watch and I so engrossed in watching I forgot about the itchness, drink my milk and slowly got back to sleep at 7pm.

Mummy went work but all in her head was worrying about me. Grandma bought me go see doctor and confirmed I got hives-allergy to something. Mummy think think but I din have any 'new' food yesterday apart from a piece of vanilla bread which mummy told Grandma and decided not to give me that. Doc say could be allergy to food or 'dust' and takes around 2 weeks to die off, now I got oral medicine to eat and cream to apply on. 

Papa say will change my bedsheet tonight.

Don't know why recently I realized mummy very very attached to me, a little bit she will get paranoid and now I am in mummy head all the time. Ok mummy, I will be good boy try not to touch the cream when Grandma or mummy applied on my skin.

Mummy been so tired recently so long time never post liao but something happens to me that makes mummy feel so painful.

I got bitten by mosquitoes and now both my hands swollen, especially my right hand coz got 3 bites around the same area so now I got pig hand. Mummy wake up yesterday morning see liao so heartbreaking that she cried. Mummy brought me go see doctor, doctor give lotion to apply and antibiotics in case I inflammation.

I hope I get better soon so everybody especially Mummy can stop worrying about me. Mummy say I am such a darling once anything happens to me, all my family members is so worried about me.

I am officially 1 year and 2 days old today, Mummy & Papa bring me go Science Centre last saturday. I had fun playing although I don't understand. Mummy wanted to bring me go Zoo but the sky looks like going to rain so Papa say better not, next time then bring me go.

Mummy din take many pics and no good shots too coz I busy playing and don't want look at camera. Mummy will upload when got time okie, u will see many of my head down when Mummy snapped pics. Hehehe.

Mummy.. Its been a year since Mummy had any uninterrupted sleep hor since I came into this world..  

Month 11 Physically and mentally • Drinks easily from a cup-never try yet, always drink from my water bottle • Knows that small things can fit into larger ones-Yesh • Pushes, throws, knocks down everything in sight -Yesh I am a destroyer. • Sits more confidently; able to pull self up and sit again-Yesh • Walks while holding onto your fingers-Yesh and I tried running too.

Language and emotions • Says “mama” and “dada” and knows what they mean-I started with mama-talk but mummy feels I am referring to "mum-mum". Yesh with "papa", not yet ma-mi. (soon ok) • Babbling develops into intonations of language-Yesh I can be talkative sometimes. • May say other words and know their meaning too-Not really, mostly mama, mummum, papa talk.

I have been talkative and exploring different vocals with my own baby language, my fave words is 'ma ma' but I know mummy as mummy so mummy know I don't know how to call her yet. Mummy thinks I am actually saying 'mum mum' coz greedy me ask for food when I see people eat food. 

Yesterday I gave Papa a big big surprise, I called 'pa-pa' when I look at Papa, mummy also heard! I pronounced correctly.  That was the once and only time I called Papa, after that I am back to 'ma ma' talk.

I made Papa very happy but Papa hopes I will call him again soon.

Mummy hopes I will learn to call her soon, maybe 'ma-mi' or 'mi mi' ??

I started talking and exploring the different sounds I can make with my mouth.  I say words which sounds like mama, papa, mummum? Mummy and papa cannot make out what talking me but I have been quite a chatterbox with my own language since last week. Mummy thinks I will call Papa first. What do you think??

And oh I have been sick, down with flu and cough with phlegm since last week but luckily I still is my active self and got appetite, only gets cranky at night and want mummy carry me to sleep. I am better now, hope to get better soon else I make many people worried for me.

Today Papa & Mummy was talking about my 1 year old birthday next year how to celebrate??

Home celebration?? Chalet celebration??

Any nice aunties, uncles, sisters or brothers can share with me your 1 year old birthday celebration or give ideas?

Happy ADVANCED 1 year old birthday to me in around 3-4months time!

Once upon a time when I was still in Mummy's tummy....

Mummy's placenta was low near the cervix throughout Mummy's pregnancy and so when I was 37weeks old, Dr Adrian advised Mummy to go for a c-section in the next few days. Dr Adrian say it be dangerous for both me and mummy if mummy went through labour as the placenta blocking my wayout. And so my birthday was scheduled on 1st March 2007 in the afternoon at 1pm. But I got character, I don't want doctor to choose my birth timing, I want to choose myself!

The night before, Papa even cooked for Mummy her favourite pasta and yes I tasted it too. Papa & Mummy slept for the last night with each other alone, knowing after that night, I would be joining them already!

As dawn breaks around 6pm, Mummy went to pee and suddenly gushes of blood started dripping onto the toilet bowl. Mummy experienced labour pains and shouted to Papa in fright. Papa quickly called Dr Adrian and was told to rush to the hospital now for emergency c-section. Papa called 爷爷奶奶 and off we speed to TMC. Poor mummy felt the contractions more and more intense.

Upon reaching the hospital, mummy was wheeled into the operating threatre immediately and everything happen in a flash, many nurses attended to Mummy, plug this plug that into Mummy.

Someone in green tell mummy to count 1, 2, 3 and mummy falls into a deep sleep. Mummy vaguely remember somone calling her name but the first thing she thought of was me, a kind nurse keep telling mummy 'your bb is ok'. Only then mummy felt her wound pain and she keep crying and crying.
Papa sayang mummy.

Mummy and me was reunited after mummy not so pain anymore, mummy at first felt a little stranger maybe becoz she never see me come out of her but slowly, mummy knows I am her little precious baby. At that moment, I think is mummy's happiest moment of her life.

Mummy loves me and I love Mummy too, one day when I grow up I will tell that to Mummy.
