Old Ah Ma's way of wrapping

Kayden is being wrapped differently starting from today. hehe.. This is used when he's on alert mode. Now he started walking, he will try to stand up in the previous way of wrapping. Cos there's cloth under his feet, he thought of using that as support.. So I changed to this way, there's no way he can stand up, unless he tries to stand up on my waist. haha..

Don't know why, I still have this vivid memory of my ah ma carrying me around in this similar way when I was about 2-3yrs old.. I miss my ah ma so much..

Bitey Kayden

This little potato is starting to test my patience like what his brother been doing. hehe.. He knows I hate him for not being streetwise, bite whatever he sees, so he will "test water" first. hehe..

Whenever he sees something, he will look at me, and smile.. If I remain quiet and smile back, he will immediately put the thing into his mouth. If I say "No, I know what you are thinking, cannot bite", he will smile and leave the thing alone, BUT few mins later, he will go back to the thing when I'm not looking at him. hehe.. Cheeky fellow ya..

Kayden is a 妖怪 (Updated version)

(Taken 29th Sept 2008)

On Saturday's afternoon, My dear little Kayden stood up on his own with support of the sofa's edge and walked a few steps. I was on the sofa watching TV when I saw him smiling to me. I screamed... "DIDI, YOU ARE AWESOME!" Just when I ran into the room to take the camera, thinking I'm gonna tape down his act to prove my words (cos many sure doubt my words "how can a 8th mth boy stood up at tis time of age?"). I was too late, he dropped hard on his butts. haha..

Wasted that I can't tape down on time.. But never mind... There will be other chances. hehe..

On Sunday, when we're at my mum's house. This little monster stood up on his own a couple of times in front of my dad and brother. haha.. YEAH! My words were proven. They opened their eyes real wide, mouths opened big -- 他是妖怪. hahaha... My dad even cracked a lame joke, cos he really did walked on his own when he's 9mths+ old 50+yrs ago, so he added one more sentence "I was running around the kampong 10 months old". My brother and I both had cold fake laughs "Wow.. So smart". haha.. He's trying to prove that he won many kids.

Hopefully I have the time and chance to video down this monster's actions, maybe tomorrow. He's kinda cute now, small sized as in height but actions are mature, a little cutey potato. He will be going KKH for his routined followup next Thursday, hope his blood condition improve.. haha..

Taken few nights back when the 2 boys playing together in Kayden's playpen. Kieron just loved squeezing with Kayden in that small playpen.
Kieron took a few photos with different poses, a very cheeky fellow. Kayden doesn't lose him for that. I forsee my "Merry" "ENJOYABLE" days in a couple months time. haha.. It's already starting now..

Stages

Love...

Today I suddenly feel like sharing my thoughts on this topic - Love..

"To love" means...
Some may get hurt when the one being loved doesn't appreciate.
Some may get hurt when the one being loved did something hurting in return.
Some may get hurt when the one being loved had gone without explanation.
Some may get hurt when the one being loved loves someone else yet refuses to let go.

Some may be happy when the one being loved did something loving to show their appreciation in return.
Some may be happy when the one being loved is happy and healthy.
Some may be happy when the one being loved remembers everything that is done for them.
Some may be happy when both are bonded greatly despite all kinds of obstacles faced.
Some may be happy even when there's just a kiss on the forehead after a day's work.
Some may be happy when sacrifices are done to make the one being loved to be fortunate.

"Being Loved" means...
Some may feel upset when the one who loved is using a wrong way of expressing.
Some may feel upset when the one who loved isn't the one whom they wish to be with.
Some may feel upset when it's time for them to show their love in return, the one who loved no longer is around.
Some may feel upset when own's trust is being questioned.

"Love scenarios" means...
Some may love with a thought of forgive and forget.
Some may love with a thought of revenge.
Some may love with a thought of sympathy.
Some may love with a thought of gratitude.
Some may love with a thought of self belief.
Some may love with a thought of destiny and fate.
Some may love generously.
Some may love agressively.
Some may love possessively.
Some may love in a world of fear.
Some may love in a world of hope.
Some may have to live being an optimist
Some may choose to live in ownself's protected and limited boundary just to shower love and receive love.

The Love Cycle means...
Acquaintance -- Courtship -- Couplehood -- Marriage -- Kinship

Why the cycle is like that?
Acquaintance -- Both needs to know each other in order to explore different traits of interests.
Courtship -- It's carried out when one party showed great interest in another
Couplehood -- When both decided to be steady together, they shared thoughts and opinions.
Marriage -- A way of representing the stability of bond and love levels between 2 parties, exchanging promises of loving and taking care of each other till the end of the road.
Kinship -- A stage whereby the passion and sweet love had upgraded to the love of kinship. One is willing to show own's bad and good points, sharing vows and woes, no matter how big the problem is, there still someone there willing to lend a helping hand. Love doesn't has to be always mention verbally, but it still can be felt clearly even there's a difference in distance and time.

There are many other kinds of love and ways of loving.. To know what and how, you have to live till the fullest, be challenging and brave.

There is only one happiness in life,
to love and be loved.

- George Sand -

P/S : I had nothing wrong with my love life. So don't worry about anything after reading my post. Just lazy to upload photos and update on my kids' status. Just wanting to type how I feel and things I learnt all these years...

Double "H"s day

Why Double H? First H, I think all Singaporean will agree with me, H = HOT! hehe.. Weather been so hot lately... Second H, this has been one of the "coolest" thing that cannot go without on Hot Hot days, that's Happy Face...

Morning.. Kieron and Maomao.. While waiting for my dad to reach our house to fetch us to school, Maomao came over to say byebye to us. Kieron's very attached with the cats now..



Afternoon.. At mum's house, after Kieron's school.. Still deciding where to spend our boring afternoon. Cos of the hot weather, we decided to wait at mum's house and meet parents for dinner in the late afternoon..My youngest Mischievious brother teased Kayden when he knew Kayden had no teeth for the titbits, so he did these to Poor Kayden. haha..





Late afternoon, after dinner with my parents. While waiting for my mum to come back from NTUC. the kids playing with my dad with his car's steering wheel.



In the evening till before bedtime, I drew this. Kieron and I completed the colouring for 3 full hours.. hehe.. Due to the lighting, it looked quite dull. Maybe I will try taking a nicer photo of it tomorrow morning..

Festival of Lights

In coming October, there are 2 festivals to celebrate.. There's one thing I liked about Singapore, is that, we have many races living and bonding together as one big family. No matter which race is having their own special festival, but other races will join in the fun too..


The coming 2 festivals are Malay's Hari Raya Puasa and Indian's Deepavali.. So my dad brought us out on Saturday's night for a car tour at Little India and Geylang Serai. Wow~!!! There're traffic jams and crowded streets with shoppers from all races. It's really a happy sightseeing moment. Both areas had lightings hanging above the roads and even on trees. You can see shops packed with many people buying things in need for the festivals.


Especially Geylang Serai, even when we reached there at 10pm, the place was still so crowded. Though lightings here wasn't as fanciful as Little India's, but at the both sides of the road were pasar malams, one side with all the food, the other side with all the clothings and home decorations. Very well organised... I can say these 2 places are much more fun than Chinese's Chinatown during Chinese New Year. Cos Chinatown had too little space to walk and things to see are quite limited too.. But it's still a heartwarming moment, cos it's a moment that we get to come out and buy things together as a big big big family to welcome the New year.


Just 4 more months to go, it will be Chinese's Chinese New Year.. hahaha.. I can go out with my kids and family next year. Yeah.. I was confined this year due to confinement.. So sad. hehe.. I'm already starting to countdown for 2009 New Year. haha..

Pomelo Brothers

Remembered when we're small, whenever there's pomelo at home during festive seasons, my dad would peel off the skin nicely and let us play like a helmet.. hehe.. & we little ones would snatch over it..

After the recent Mooncake festival had passed, I peeled off the pomelo my dad gave me. hehe.. Kieron was happily playing with the traditional type of helmet, but Kayden just couldn't wait to get rid of the pomelo skin from his head. hehe...





Kayden liked to open the sliding door and dug out all his brother's discs, and you could hear Kieron shouting "Didi!". hehe..

The brothers playing together again...

Kieron and his fav sport - Soccer

Kieron was so excited when I allowed him to bring his Adidas soccerball to play while waiting for his father to get back from work in the evening.. He was happily chasing after the ball, and makin poses when I wanted him to take some shots. & poor Kayden, he wanted join in the fun too, but all he could do was kicking and watching pitifully at his brother.. hehe.. Soon.. He can play with soccer with his elder brother and father..


Cheeky Kieron trying to scare me with his pillow headsuit while I was preparing his goodnite milk. hehe.. He fell asleep on the sofa after his milk. I almost collapsed on the bed after I carried him back to bed. He grown so much.. haha..

Kayden had his 2nd hair shave

Brought Kayden to have his hair shave for the 2nd time after his birth.. His hair been growing tooo slow. So had all shaved off again to let it grow even better.. Going to try out the easiest and cheapest method of letting baby's hair grow faster and nicer. It's recommended by doctors --- Breastmilk... hehe..

A playful day with Kayden

Kayden snatched the camera pouch and immediately stuffed it into his little mouth. He threw temper when I snatched it away.. hehe.. Too bad, I just won't give in and let him have the pouch. So he changed target to his elder brother's Chicken rice. haha.. You see Kieron's cute expression..


We played something different today.. As I'm tired today, so I let Kayden played by himself in his playpen. But, to prevent myself from dozing off on bed, so I opened up the zip opening of his playpen, and peeped through it to scare Kayden. He didn't get scared at all, in fact, he's so excited about it. Laughing so loud and tried to open the zip by himself. hehe.. So we started our peeping game, and passing things through that small opening..Kayden who had itchy hands even tried to open the zip himself. Soon, Kieron stopped his cartoon and joined in the fun. hehe..





Kayden taking a bath after one day of fun...Ah.. YES! I want that!No.. Shame shame.. Must cover...
Ah.. You caught me half naked again..

Britney Spears Sometimes Lyrics


You tell me you're in love with me
Like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me
It's not that I don't want to stay
But every time you come too close I move away


I wanna believe in everything that you say
'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me you just have to know


Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
Baby all I need is time


I don't wanna be so shy
Every time that I'm alone I wonder why
Hope that you will wait for me
You'll see that you're the only one for me


I wanna believe in everything that you say
[Sometimes lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me you just have to know


Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
Baby all I need is time


Just hang around and you'll see
There's nowhere I'd rather be
If you love me, trust in me
The way that I trust in you


Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
Baby all I need is time

16th Sept 2008 - Tuesday

Today Kieron cried in the classroom again.. He's afraid of not meeting his teacher's expectations. Haiz.. He'd given himself too much stress.. He been asking me "What if I write not nice?" "What if I colour abit out of line?" "Will Mdm Siti unhappy about it?"

So his teacher gave him a hug, told him that she don't want to see him crying, and she don't him to cry, told him to get a tissue wipe his tears. & he did stop, but looked so worried..

Don't know why I have a kiasu boy... My brother still said, "It's good to be strong headed, he can be a great marketer in future" I was speechless when he made that comment. hahaha..

P/s : Lao Da... Stir fried cabbage with dongfen & fried chicken wings (I tried new powder, not that yummy as those you tried that day - from my own opinion, Spices of Orient is tastier than Hosen Farm. hehe.. )



The boys playing together...


Kayden's 美腿. hehe.. just as mascular as his brother's

Tiring stay at mum's hs

Last sunday was a happy yet tiring stay...

Brother and his friends brought Kieron uphill to play lantern. Due to bad weather, they came back mum's house for a chit chat n snacking session. Kieron was playing non stop with them till 12am+. In the end, he played too much and due to excessive brain stimulation, he had nightmares at 1am+. He was crying, no matter how hard I shook him, how loud we called him. He was still crying with his eyes tightly shut... By the time he calmed down, it's already 2+ and Kayden woke up due to the commontion.. In the end, that little pig played and refused to sleep till almost 4am.. I was dozing off when I was milking him. haha.. Just when I off the lights, he was lying down. But when I lied down, he sat up and tried to wake me up. I pretended to be in deep sleep, then he slowly tossed and turned till he fell back to sleep.. & at 6.30am, brother and mum woke up, cos it's time for them to go back camp and to work.. Best... I didn't catch a wink. hahaha..

However, I felt happy cos I had chats with my brother's friends, with my 2 brothers, with my parents.. I just love companions and merry moments..

Kayden enjoying his mermaid style of relaxing while waiting for my dad to return home to send us home. hehe..

Cheeky boys...

Taken on last Sunday when we're getting ready to go over to my mum's hs for an overnight stay for the lantern festival. They're playing with the foldable mattress. hehe..

Kayden stood up on his own

Last Saturday, I was in the room packing our bags when Kieron shouted "Mummy, Kayden stood up on his own".

Kayden was standing and leaning against the sofa, looking at me, smiling and sucking his fingers.. Oh... People sure don't believe my words. SO! I got them down on photos. haha..

You may wonder how old is he now... By birth date, he's 7.5mths old, by actual birth age, he's 6.5mths old. hehe...

Lantern Festival 2008 (Part 1)

Vista park had a lantern festival carnival this evening.. Had 舞狮舞龙. Had lucky draw, had contests and traditional food stalls.

But, we didn't go.. hehe.. We just walked past. Kieron wasn't keen to go despite there's his fav lion dance. SO we had our mini mini pre-lantern festival celebration ourselves outside our house. Just the 2 of us.. Loving and sweet.. keke.. Kayden was already deep asleep and Hubby busy with his soccer match on SCV.




Tomorrow night will be a merrier one.. "Traditionally", we will have a candle lighting "ceremony" at the small hill behind my mum's house, just like what we did for the past few years. hehe.. It's a time with my brother and his friends.. Kieron and I are really looking forward for the party eagerly. hehe...
