I am finally taken the plunge to fix my high myopia via LASIK. I have to admit that the first time the surgeon operates on my right eye, I kinda regretted my decision. It's simply scary.. and that suction ring hurts! My right eye just cant seem to focus on that blinking red light cos I just wanna get OUT. Thank goodness its done (including my fear) in a few min and I have become stronger by the time the procedure repeats on my left eye. And it's done.
That's it? Hmmm... ok..
I am surprised that I can actually still see immediately after the surgery, though I am advised to close my eyes to rest.
More importantly, I am glad that Zee Yann is not scared off by this look of mine, cos its so ugly that I wont even want to post any pic here :) She must be wondering why is mummy wearing this eye shield even when she is sleeping? And she seems to be able to comprehend and din attempt to even touch my eye shield at all.
So its rest, rest and more rest for the eyes.
Looking forward to the day with perfect vision the moment I open my eyes!

Bitten by Flu bug.. again
Oh no.. another bout of flu attack, no LNT class for me with my running nose and sneezing that has worsened since yesterday.
Being quite seasoned with such bouts, the challenge is more on how to convince me to take the medicine. Perhaps I want to get well myself cos weekend is approaching, I react positively to mummy's words of "要吃药才会好喔" and willingly finish all the medicine.
That's my good gal.
And with ample rest, the flu bug is gone. Though my cough takes another 2 to 3 days before they clear up completely.

MMR jab + Little Neuro Tree session
So much has been said abt this MMR jab, but nevertheless, chances of my social and active gal being autistic should be mild, I hope?
By far, this jab is the one that's most painful, and I reacted swiftly with a big protest (more like a growl!) the moment I get pricked by Dr Lim. Animosity towards Dr Lim can be felt thereafter, and I simply refuse to say goodbye to her. My lips are still pouted as mummy and daddy whisked me off the room.
Never set yourself enemies with women, regardless of any age!
Mummy has signed me up for the remaining 3 sessions of LNT classes for this term, and even though there's only 2 of us today, I have successfully distracted my fren many times!
And the new activity in taking off and wearing shoes for the caterpillar frustrates me, particular the latter activity, gosh, why does this silly creature has so many legs? I prefer to throw the shoes away, nevertheless, and I think its more fun that way!

Fun with Tots @ SK library
We were @ the SK library tonite participating in their "Fun with Tots" program - but I seem happier arranging the chairs outside the activity room. Pengz!!
And when the songs and story-telling started, I keep moving around, peering here and there, observing at the other adults and todds. I even attempted to pull someone's hair, cos her hair is so long! Luckily its a really short session (and we thought its gonna be an hr?) and once out of the room - you will see me busy moving the chairs again!
Doesn't my battery go flat?
Seems like it's always fully charged!
Mummy and daddy have started to let me be cos they have run out of energy to catch up with me!

GUG trial @ Suntec
I am getting bored doing the same thing (or rather its Mummy getting bored?) so mummy signs me up for another trial @ GUG new branch at Suntec. While I look apprehensive as we first step in to the room, but within minutes, I am seen exploring every corner - from figuring out how to operate the dustbin with pedal, to arranging and sitting on the chairs.. and even trying to get the toys out from the shelves. And together with another elder jie jie, the 2 of us just keep moving and moving!
But when the story-telling and music comes on, I can be seen clapping my hands and rolling on the floor mat. As usual, I will go up to the teacher, smiling and laughing. Even the teacher is being amused by me. So I laugh out even louder! I even take the initiative to say hello to a baby boy, and patting him on the arm gently. (ok, he's kinda cute looking, I admit..) The baby boy responded with a big hug (as he can't stand, hence he only managed to grab my feet) and that makes me lose my footing and the 2 of us end up flat on the floor mat. He is strong indeed!
My energetic princess using up her reserve energy prior to her nap, and KO within minutes in the beco carrier.. finally mummy gets to shop in peace!

And I finally get to ride on a MRT, and my eyes can't help but keep looking at all the other passengers..
On our way to Grandma's house for dinner.. does anyone know what's wrong with this picture??
Princess has figured out how to set her arms free from her car seat! OMG! And mind you, it's fastened so tightly but still, she has her own way of doing things.. if she sets her mind in doing it!

I am 16 months old!
To be exact, I am 16 months and 1 day old today!
And what am I up to recently?
- Started to walk backward
- Attempted to do a "somersault" with head down and bum up
- Self feed with spoon and fork (with some help to scoop the food onto the spoon)
- Can hold cup to drink with 1 hand
- Pull socks off easily
- Pick up flat objects such as coins and paperclips and drop into coinbanks/special-made boxes with slit
- Beginning to distinguish colours
- Enjoyed more table activity such as "reading" Littletouch book. Particularly amused by the sound the "purple fish" made.
New words :
- "Eat", "Sit" (sounds like "Shit"), "Wait", "Elmo", "Bao" (aka bread)
- "Bubble", "Wet", "No", "Moo Moo" (may mean cow or even milk), "Drop",
- "Up" (sounds like uppo)
My verbal language has expanded by a few more words, and I am beginning to display more assertiveness, hence more tantrums if my wishes are not met. I enjoy feeding myself with spoon and fork, and despite of the mess, I am being encouraged to do so. Another interesting observation is I start to sit on my potty willingly and make "ng-ng" noises.. so is it gonna be potty-training next for me?
No new tooth has been spotted, so its still 6 to date. And with 4 on top and 2 at the bottom, I enjoy holding spoons and objects using my teeth, a stunt that many should have outgrown by now.. (what to do, I only get my full 6 teeth recently!)
My weight and height has remained largely the same, well, I am still a "M" size pampers toddler!

MAAD @ Red Dot Museum
7 Mar 2009 (Sat)
Daddy has always wanted to visit the Red Dot Museum and since admission is free during MAAD, why not? For mummy, the main attraction is the bazaar and true enough, there are some interesting jewellery and items up for sale by our local designers!
Some of the design are rather innovative while some you may think its common, yet no one really gives it much thought! Mummy's favourite is on the right, an umbrella that folds up to resemble a rose! Pretty yet functional!!
How about this milk bottle that changes colour and faces (green smiley face --> red crying face) when the temperature gets too hot for little one to drink??
Interesting items for purchase! There is even a corner where all you have to do is to sit for 15 min, and you may choose to buy the best sketch that you like @ $8 - no obligation at all even if you decide not to buy. Daddy contemplates placing princess there for 15 min when she is asleep in her stroller.. kekeke
While mummy is busy browsing through those jewellery and stuffs, I can't help noticing that princess is "playing" with an elderly man, taking a pencil and scribbling on a piece of paper. This goes on for at least 5 min.. and I am sure I don't know him. According to daddy, this kind man has even offered to look after her for a short while, so daddy takes a short break resting at the next table while mummy continues to browse and shop..
Before nap and after nap (with snack) pictures..

Gogobambini playdate @ Dempsey and Little Neuro Tree 3rd trial - Chinese
Playdate for the lovely Nov todds @ Gogo this morning, thankfully mummy does not have to prepare my lunch, else we won't be able to reach by 10:30am! Nevertheless, we are slightly late for about 10min and we met Sharron and Ash right at the entrance. Ashton is so tall, just like his mummy and daddy!
Grace and Ashlyn are already there, and seem to be enjoying their breakfast. Sally and Mischa comes late and look at how Mischa unwilling to part with daddy.. but before long, she is warmed up and having fun.
Terror Zee Yann taking Mischa's hairclip aka mei-mei! Ashton, being the prime witness, decides he wants to stay out of the 2 women's "fight".. smart lad
Next, Zee Yann thinks those hair look so luscious, can I run my fingers through them like how I do to my Jiawen jie-jie and mummy? Mischa is lucky as she is seated too far from me, fret not.. Ashton's one is as good.. in fact so good that I think I wanna give him a hair wash! And Ashton is such a good sport, he does not object either!
Some alone moments.. imitating another older todd lying in the ball pit! How does it feel??
Lunch is @ nearby Jones the Grocer and the todds get their own colourful plates/bowls/utensils. Thank You auntie Sharron for the yummy macaroni + soup! I have 2 bowls of them. As I have my LNT class in the late afternoon, so mummy did not join in for the shopping cum tea session that follows.
Whilst waiting for daddy to pick us up, instead of having to chase me around, mummy prefers to let me "play" with the sugar satchets. (Don't worry, they are still edible.. hee) I seem to be able to sort them by categories, putting the beige ones behind me.. and later, I even begin to put only the red sugar satchets into the container! I am beginning to see beyond objects and their shapes to distinguish them by colour!
Not convinced, well, check this video out!!
Little Neuro Tree 3rd trial - Chinese
We are slightly late today, but we are still the second pair to have arrived! The sessions goes through rather smoothly with some short interruptions from me, as usual, cos mummy tried too hard to make me sit at my chair. And I keep running towards the door signalling out, cos I remember there is this little toy outside which I enjoy playing. And I am feeling a little bit tired cos I have a busy morning, so its a little harder to concentrate for 1 full hour.
Even the Chinese teacher says its normal for us to want to move about, so next time mummy has to sit with me at various corners of the classrooms! We shall see, now that I have been signed up for the remaining term of 3 more classes!

My 1st trip to Science Centre!
28 Feb 2009 (Sat)
We were at Science Centre since 11:30am, and we actually spent the entire day there, thanks to the late afternoon rain. And because of this untimely rain, I did not get a chance to get wet at the Waterworks. The kids there seem to have so much fun when we were there in the morning.
We even ran into auntie Janice and gor gor Cayden, and of course I was too busy playing on my own to play with him.
By dinnertime, I am getting tired and finally it's time to go home!
