My 1st Bad nasty fall! Finally... no more jabs!
22 May 2009 (Fri)
Hooray! No more jabs finally as I've had my last booster jab today. I've finally "passed" the assessment done by the PD, by blinking my eyes, touching my head, naming papa, mummy, and even PD (auntie not 姐姐 - though I did pause and wonder what I should address her...) Thinking back, shouldn't we address PD as doctor simply??
And I am growing more rapidly recently (that explains the additional feed at wee hours...), with my sandals, I measured 84cm and weighed 10.5kg! No wonder both daddy and mummy are feeling the strain more and more these days.. time to coax the little one to sit on the stroller more!
24 May 2009 (Sun)
The weather is simply so hot and humid, and thank goodness there is no fever detected and we can go out during the evening again.
As we walk along the wading pool at vivo city, there are many kids and babies having a good time in the water. We choose to shop in the mall, and spend much time checking out the National Geographic outlet. Before long, its dinnertime, and gosh, there's already a short queue forming at Marche even tho its only 6:15pm.
The moment we get our seat, I am just too hungry to wait for the food to arrive - so here comes my saving grace, biscuits! And immediately I broke into a smile and keep wanting "more" and "more" of the biscuits. "More" becomes a favourite word lately as I understand I get "more" of something, be it food or water, or kisses if I say it.
What am I having for dinner tonite? It's rosti with various types of mushrooms, and crepe with strawberries, yummy!
Oops, an hour had passed, and it's time to go for the show at level 1!
It would otherwise be a perfect evening if not for the nasty incident that happened thereafter.
The show had just started (there was some delay due to technical fault) and already I am walking around amidst the crowd whom are all seated. Thinking that it's gonna be disruptive for the audience, mummy decide that we will just stand at the back to enjoy the show. That's a wrong move indeed!
I prefer to "dance" around and move around and during one of those sessions as mummy puts me down, I lose my footing and fall flat on my face! Mummy, thinking that it must be one of those casual falls, is asking me to stand up on my own, but to her surprise, I just wail out loudly. Mummy knows that it ain't quite the same this time, and when she takes a closer look at me, she is too shocked! There appears to be blood all over my mouth (it is so dark then and mummy ain't that sure!) I must have been too stunned to react when the pain first strike, and to make it worse, to have tasted blood for the very first time! (Hopefully the last time too!) Thankfully daddy is quick to pick me up and brings me back to the mall - while mummy just follows behind, not knowing what to do, feeling bad and confused!
A helpful security guard quickly usher us to the nearest nursery room to have her mouth cleansed. And thank goodness, the bleeding has finally stopped though the upper lip is all swell up. With bloodstained tops, the 3 of us hurriedly make our way home. It's amazing how tough our princess is, as by the time we hit the road, she is happily doing the sing-a-long session - as though the incident has not taken place at all. And she can still relate the incident by saying "pain pain"... oh my... and manages to finish all the milk and no nightmare too (phew!)
Salute to the little toughie!!
Mummy is really, really sorry!!

Free show @ Marina Barrage - Helios!
It's the Singapore Arts festival again - and indeed a lot of free shows and events are being lined up. It'll be sometime before our little toddler can sit down for an hour without fidgeting - so this being an outdoor show seems perfect for us! (or rather for her!)
And there's quite a few events going on even before the highlight of the show begins. From balloon scultping, to mime acts to drum beating.. it's definintely worth the few mosquito bites that mommy got! (it's a long story, but the bites wont from MB itself...)
Since its $1 for a balloon.. so mommy wants to maximise her $2 well spent.. haha
See no evil, Hear no evil??
My workout time! Busy walking around in the vicinity.
Absolutely go ga-ga over the big green patches... while daddy is busy chasing after me, mummy has some little sweet time to take some pics!
Hey, we got a good seat for viewing, but as expected, I won't sit for long. So we have to give up our seats for the more needy...
The highlight of the show tonite begins!
It's really just right behind us as daddy is taking this pic, and we gotta run! Quick!
And there's even a short firework to complete the nite event.
Despite the heat and humidity, its a show worthwhile.
Looking forward to the next one... at Vivo!

Bibinogs Trial
We are one of the youngest as the class is meant for toddlers of min 18 months. When we first reached, I put up a small struggle, refusing to enter the room. Luckily within 5 min, I am busy exploring the toys in the room. Who can resist the ball, not me at least! But after 5 min, we haven't seen my other friends, Ethan and Travis. Hope to see them else I will be the youngest of all!
As usual, I can't sit still most of the time, and when everyone is at the floor, I walk to the table and wanna sit on the chair. With 4 to 5 new members joining, the class seems a bit dis-oriented! Nevertheless, I have my fun, and best of all snack time!
Once class is over, we rush off for our lunch as its long past my lunch, its almost 1pm! Thank you auntie Michelle for organizing this trial, and its great seeing Ethan and friends once again.
