Botanical Garden

Thanks to boss who's so nice to let me go off at 3pm on last working day of 2006 (29Dec06). That's why we could make it to visit the long waited Botanical Garden. I couldn't recall when was the last time I visit..probaly at least 20yrs ago. The Botanical garden is now so nice and good to have a walk.

Our Monster

During the weekend over Christmas, Jared was like a monster at home.

On sat 24Dec morning, he pee on our blanket. Well, waipo always say he is a genious..he will get down the bed by himself if he needs to pee/poo. So that morning after removing the heavy overnight diaper, I left him bare while playing on my bed. Plan to get him bath soon before change to a new diaper. To my surprise after a while he started peeing...on my blanket!!!! So angry!..After that in the late morning daddy being recalled back for work, so I was left alone to feed him lunch...Another nightmare, he was walking around the house for me to feed him and occasionally split out the food, overturn my plates and messed up every where with his kisses on the wall.

Later after the Christmas party, while we get ready for swimming, Jared poo. So I got daddy to change for him. But daddy didn't manage to control his movement, so in the end he was crawling around our bed with his poo!!..I asked daddy to cool down and continue with the plan to swim..... So we change the bedsheet at night...haha

After the bad experience, I sent Jared back to wai po's place the next day. I continued to take my morning nap at Sembawang, only go back to see him after lunch with daddy.

Again on Monday 25dec, he's a monster again! Refused to take his morning nap..and keep walking around the house. I finally made him sleep at 11am(normal 9am) with a bit of milk. Sigh.
Last year xmas, Jared was such an angel baby only sleep&eat. In fact, we managed to join xmas party at Grace's place even though he was a meer 5 week bb. This year he can make our house turn around! Gosshhh.......

Walking/Christmas Party/Super friendly Jared

Walking Since last fri 22Dec , Jared is able to walk more and without needing us to be there to encourage him. He will walk from 1 place to another if he felt distance is short & standing position is more convenient. Ocassionally he will surprise me in the kitchen when he walk over from dinning table area to grab my legs.

Christmas Party We went to a christmas party at Kee Kee's place on 23 Dec. The place was crowded with so many kids, more like a kids party..I think there were at least 9 kids including Jared. Jared was overwhelmed by so many ppl there, and started behaved extremely well, sit quietly...then at half way of party he started walking around, turning the knobs of DVD player(what he does everyday at home)..and finally at the end of party..he fight with other kids for toys!!..

Super friendly Jared Since last Fri also, Jared started to smile with sound somemore (sounds like ~gheeee) to any strangers inside the lift. If the other party response, I won't feel so bad...sometimes the other party simply ignore him..left me and KP feeling embarrasing hehehe..If the person smile back, Jared would start stretching out his hand and do a hi-5 to that person...Super friendly huh? hehe.

Merry Merry Xmas!!!

We wish you a merry xmas
We wish you a merry xmas
& Happy new Year! Ho ho ho...

Jared says: Daddy, pls bring us to experience the real snow fast fast..you see, I hardly smile in the pics cos I prefer the real snow!

We went to Tanglin Mall again last night to take some photos with the bubbles snow...This was the 2nd time we went there, since the first time we didnt manage to take any pics.

Jared is 13mth old!

Jared's progress for pass 1 mth:

1) Loves daddy more than mummy
Jared realised that being carried by daddy for sure wouldn't dissapoint him, Definitely get to go kai kai since daddy is usually the one who drives. So whenever daddy is around, he wants to be carried by daddy and refused to let go.

2) Initiate hi 5 or hi 10!
Jared would initiate hi 5 from very far when he spotted us or anyone he knows including the indian neighbour at Waipo's place..This act makes the indian neighbour fly to cloud, cos it seemed to her that Jared likes her hehe... Sometimes he will be so excited that he would stand up and do hi-10 on his tricycle, waipo usually push Jared around in the tricycle at void deck while waiting for us to come home.

3) Walk more steps unsupported
Jared could walk around 5-10 steps already.. but only when we encouraged him.

4) Split out dislike food
We used to press Jared's forehead to make his mouth open to get some porridge in. But these does not work anymore, he learnt to split out the food. He will use his teeth to sweep out all the food.


5) A good kisser
When I make my lips "tu tu"..Jared will lean over to kiss me (or bite me??) on my lips hehe.

Next mth we are going to bring Jared back to daddy's hometown to attend daddy's cousin wedding. Its a long and challenging journey. First we got to take car to JB Senai airport, take 1.5hr flight to Sibu. To attend the wedding, we need to take 3hr of speedboat from Sibu...To go back to daddy's hometown at Sarikei...we need to take 2hr car ride from Sibu...Think already, make me headache hehe..

Little Helper at Home

See what Jared could do!



Tada..Jared is helping waipo sweeping the floor with the high tech broom..haha

No cry..

Today we brought Jared to Dr. Ong's clinic for his final pneumoccocal jab. Jared did not cry at all!!..My baby has grown up..no longer cry for jab..I'm so proud and happy hehe..

Jared is 9.5kg @ 13mth old. Quite skinny..

We went Marina Square after that. Cos Jared usually grouchy after jab, a bit bit will cry..so we try to avoid staying home ..hehe.

East Coast Trip (Again?!?!)

We went to East Coast for cycling again! This round was the most enjoyable one as the weather is good and the breeze are cooling. Jared had lots of fun, he would burst into laughter everytime when he managed to tap off daddy's hand from the bicycle handle. We managed to cover furthest this time, both side of East Coast Beach including Bedok Jetty.



Breakfast at MacDonald

Getting ready for breakfast..


Where's my pancake???!!!

Jared's Lunar 1 Year Old Birthday

18th of tenth mth in chinese calendar is Jared's lunar birthday. We had a mini celebration with
just the 3 of us at void deck garden @ our Sembawang home.

Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary & My Birthday Celebration

Had a wonderful birthday&wedding anniversary celebration, thanks to daddy's planning. We took half day off from work and spent a good time at Vanilla Pod Restaurant. This is quite an isolated place and hardly got ppl knew of it. Unfortunately its near to our work place, guess whom we saw in the restaurant? There were only 2 tables occupied when we reached there, 1 table is fr Kee Ping's company another 1 is from my company...aiyo ..hehe.But good thing is they left early, so we managed to enjoy the rest of time there. It was the first time I ever tried escargot, I thought it tasted grassy ??....Wondering if they pick up the escargot from the orchid garden..hehehe. After lunch, we had a short walk around the Orchid Garden, but it rains so no choice but have to leave early.


After that we went to collect cake and went home for a rest before heading for the next celebration with family + Jared. The dinner was at Din Tai Fung, Paragon...we were so lucky that we got a room for ourselves..else I might not have any courage to lite up the 2 big candles + 9 small candles hehe. Jared tried most adult food last nite. He had fried rice, bday cake, and sponge cake fr restaurant. He seems to like the fried rice a lot..hehe..

Still sick........

Jared is still sick..longest ever period that he ever fall sick!. In fact he hardly fall sick, the bad one which I could remember was at exactly 6mth old.

After recovered from the stomach flu, vomit&lau sai, during mid week he had fever occasionally...Then finally today cough!..When can all these sick bug leave him alone??

Wish sick bug come and look for me instead..then i could get MC and dun need to work..hehe..But when kena Jared, not only I cannot go to work, most of time pocket will kena hole..and also had sleepless nite...*sigh*

Anyway, tomorrow is my Birthday! My 29th birthday..

Here's my birthday wish:
