Daddy is gonna cook for the family and we are having fried udon & homemade 水饺 today! In any case, I get to be part of the team and I help to lay the dumpling skin evenly into the plate (though Mommy will conduct QC and ensure its not more than a single layer) and scooping some meat onto the dumpling skin... oh and the last most important step is to dip my little index finger into the bowl of water to wet the corners of the dumpling skin so that the meat won't fall off whilst cooking. Having done all that, Mommy will proceed to fold and voila! our 水饺 are ready to be cooked!
We are so engrossed in the whole process that Mommy has forgotten to take a quick snap. Not with those sticky hands anyway...
I am more of a carbo & vege person so I prefer the skin more than the meat, and I rather stick to my familiar food of fried udon!
And that partly explains why recently I am into cooking for everyone, like bee hoon for grandpa and grandma... and I make sure I will go around and have everyone sample my food. You will have to pretend to eat and make appreciative gestures and expressions, and in turn I will offer you more food the next time, ok?

We are having steamboat for lunch at grandparent's place, but since Mommy has already prepared my food, I only get to eat some fishballs as I seat myself firmly on Mommy's lap... I enjoy the company as well as the food, and finally the lure of play pulls me off from my comfy position - hey cousin Matthew and Jonathan are here!
Let's go and play!
With mooncake festival just around the corner, I finally get to eat my first piece of mooncake... its sweet, meaning yummy! Oh, 婶婶 is eating grapes, and immediately both Jonathan and I stand in front of her, in anticipation that we get to be offered a bite as well... (do all toddlers behave like this, or more so cos they are born in the year of pig?)
And that's not all, I even get to have a few sips of the fu chuk dessert that Mommy is drinking... oh and it's my milk feeding time again! Bye!

21 Sep 2009 (Mon) - Hari Raya Puasa Holiday
Not wanting to jostle with the crowd, after a hearty Ya Kun breakfast, Daddy suggested that we check out the new mall, City Square. Why not, aircon is much appreciated in this bad weather, extreme hot and cold, with unexpected showers at the wrong time!
So here we go, with our princess the most excited, cos we're going shopping! Shopping in her vocab means grocery shopping in general, where she can grab and put the food into the trolley/basket. Favourite word/food for the month is tofu, simply because "jie jie Coco loves tofu!" as she speaks animatedly. But I end up napping in the car and continue to nap on Daddy's strong arms/shoulder for another 45min!
Besides Metro, there are only a handful of shops ready for operation. But one particular shop caught mommy's attention - a lot of materials for card making and scrapbooking. Interesting indeed... The smell of new paint is evident everywhere, and it isn't nearer to lunch time that we realise most of the eatery places are not even opened! So we eventually settle for a cafe, being the most kid-friendly looking eatery around (oh, and they do not have high chair by the way).
What's for lunch today??
I have some mushroom soup, shepherd's pie (the beef version is a little peppery so I end up eating more of the potato), and finish off with more spaghetti. (Sorry, no mee siam for now, another time ok?) And since the lunch set comes with a single soup of ice cream, how could I miss it? Yummy, Mommy thinks besides saying "Zee Yann likes pear!" its soon gonna be "Zee Yann likes ice cream!"... haha
The rest of the evening is spent at home, lazing around. And look at the impromptu pictures that we take - it din take much prompt and I am very co-operative tonight. All done within 1 min!
My first 4 连拍
