A fall and fracture

I had a fall @ Polliwogs and fractured my left elbow.

It was really painful and I couldnt move my left arm without whining.

Doc William said I have to wear the arm sling for at least 2 weeks, depending on how fast my bone recovers.

Only saving grace is lots of fruity sweets (mango, guava, orange, grape) from the xray department receptionist and Doc William's nurse. Yummy....

I have a new bicycle

Gu ma bought a bicycle for my 3rd birthday.

Daddy took me to Road Safety Park to test out the bicycle.

Conclusion: I still prefer my tricycle as riding a bicycle takes more effort and my feet cant seem to stay firm on the pedals ...

Zoo excursion with JG

Mummy signed me up for a 1 week school holiday program with JG. Our last lesson was a half day excursion to the Zoo. Daddy had to work so only mummy and I went. The night before, teacher Hasanah told us to pray that God doesnt cry on us...and indeed He didnt. I had fun playing in the water area and prefer the young animals to the bigger/older ones.

My 3rd birthday

There were 2 celebrations for my 3rd birthday - one in school and another at home.

For the celebration in school, instead of one big cake, Mummy ordered small individual animal chocolate cupcakes. Mummy also prepared a small gift (animal biscuit and toothbrush) for my classmates. I was very happy and surprised to see Daddy and mummy when they came into the classroom. My classmates sang birthday songs, took turn to say happy birthday to me and give me hugs and kisses. Hehe.

At home, we had a small celebration after dinner. We sang birthday song again and I got a nice present (a doctor's kit) from Shu Shu and Shen Shen!

Road Safety Park

Road Safety Park (East Coast) open its door to the public recently. Daddy brought me there to cycle. East Coast Park was very crowded but thankfully, it was not so in Road Safety Park. I've almost the whole park to myself. Hee hee, that's why I didnt keep to my lane and could even cycle opposite directions. The only downside was that the traffic lights were not working. Daddy said that they are only turned on when Road Safety Park conducts training sessions.

Upgrading

My cup "journey" started from left to right.

I'm officially using the adult toilet bowl!

Shu Shu's Wedding

Gone were the days I dislike occasions where the adults wear dark coloured suits and gowns and I would give the "dont mess with me" look if they try to approach me. I was friendly and relatively well behaved during Shu Shu's wedding dinner, leaving my seat only to pee and towards the end to play with Ah ma who was seated at another table. I enjoyed the video clips shown during the wedding, the sharksfin soup and the e-fu noodles. I even went up the stage to participate in the shouting (adults called it "yum seng") session but ended up trying to blow out the decorative candles placed on the stage. Hee hee...
I heard I will be attending another such occasion soon as mummy's best friend is getting married...

Current "In" Things

1) Cereal for breakfast



2) Yakult - Grape flavour



3) Chinese song "Three Tigers"

Hong Kong...Again

During the Jun school break, we went to Hong Kong for a short trip. After much consideration, the decision was still to go Hong Kong instead of other countries as I would be able to adapt well there.

We stayed in another hotel and explored new places in Hong Kong. We tried more modes of transport this time round - tram, small bus, travel bus, double checker public bus and the ferry. We went to a Buddhist Monastery to pray, Stanley Market for lunch and quick walk, checked out the 1881 Heritage building (the old marine police headquarters), play at Snoopy World's playground, Tai-O to appreciate the non city life and Noah Ark to see the huge boat and animals. On our last night, we ate a super expensive fish (cost around S$90) because I like to eat fish and that fish was the only one available in the hotel's restaurant.

This time, I didnt fuss much on the flight back, enjoyed my in-flight meal and ribena sweets, and dozed off while waiting for the aeroplane to land till the time we collected our luggages.

Bottle Tree Park

Mummy saw a tree shaped like a bottle when she and I were in the MRT travelling from Kranji to Yio Chu Kang station. She then told Daddy who checked out the address and took us there. I brought along my tricycle, for I love to cycle. We saw the "bottle" trees. There were 2 fishing areas - a big one at the front and a small one (near a restaurant) where kids and adults were fishing for shrimps and small fishes. The playgrounds were still wet due to the rain and I couldnt play. We were there for a while before it started to rain again. So we packed up and left.

Road Trip

Together with 3 other families (Daddy and mummy's friends), we drove to Port Dickson, Malaysia over the long labour day weekend. It was our 1st road trip and I know Daddy and mummy were concerned if I could sit in the car for a long period and my stomach aka my daily meals. It turned out that I was sleeping most of the time in the car and my stomach was well taken care of.

It was very hot and sunny in Port Dickson. The places we went to were all air conditioned as the adults were worried we cannot take the heat since most of us were having cough and/or flu. The resort we stayed in has a mini pet farm (rabbits, roosters, chicks, tortoises and peacocks), a playground and swimming pool to keep us kids entertained. The adults were bored as the only decent shopping mall was like our neighbour convenience store. Our water chalet has a fairly good view of the beach and sea. At night and early morning, we could hear the sound of the waves and peacocks screeching. Luckily no mosquitoes and we could sleep well.

We were relieved to find out that we were not the only one who brought along a potty on the road trip! I needed it for my poo poo matters. Hee, 2 other families did the same.

We reached Singapore in the evening to avoid the traffic jam. Though it was tiring, we had fun and made new friends!

Hort Park

Daddy took us to Hort Park and brought along my tricyle. The tricyle was my 2 years old birthday present and Daddy only managed to assemble it last Monday after I showed interest in riding the display tricycle in the Muji store. After 2 afternoons of practising with mummy at home, I can now ride the tricycle (yes, pedal and cycle) but I still cannot manoeuvre very well when turning right/left.

Rainy Day with Daddy

It was raining heavily when I woke up from my afternoon nap. Daddy and I sat by the window to look at and talk about the traffic jam along the expressway. I enjoyed such special time with Daddy.

Special days

Thought of jotting down 2 special days when I made Daddy and mummy exceptionally happy.

16th April 2010, Friday: I didnt cry at all when I reached school and Daddy had to leave. I quietly queued in the designated area with other school mates and waited patiently for Teacher to bring us to the classroom.

19th April 2010, Monday: I went to the toilet in Novena Square shopping mall and peed in the toilet bowl. I only pee in the toilet bowl at home. This is the first "outside home" toilet bowl I have peed in. Mummy said will give me sticker but she forgot.

School & Me III

1. After the neubiliser episode in Jan, I visited Doctor 4 times in this month for a sty, fever, cough and running nose. Doctor said that possibility of visiting him is now higher now that I start to go to school. As I'm always afraid of seeing Doctor, mummy bought a doctor's play kit for me. I have been acting as a doctor to check on Pooh's tummy with the plastic stethescope and allowing mummy to act as my doctor and check me. The last time I went to see the Doctor, I was braver. I overheard nurse told mummy that many kids think Doctor is a baddie but actually he makes us well. Hmm....makes me wonder. Then again, I do like my medicine and will tell Daddy/ mummy "Nice".

2. I still whine and cry when Daddy hands me over to the Teacher and leaves the school compound. But once Daddy is fully out of sight, I will stop crying. Hmm, no point crying since Daddy cant see it...

3. I've been trying to sing "Ni Wa Wa" (Clay Doll in Chinese) and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars" (Chinese version) at home. Always stuck at the first sentence of each song. I even requested for Teacher to sing "Ni Wa Wa" in class.

2nd visit to ZOO

Mummy's friend organised a one year old birthday party in the Zoo for her daughter. As invited guests were given free admission tickets to the Zoo for the day, we took the opportunity to "tour" the Zoo again. The last time we went to Zoo, I wasnt even 1 year old. This time, I am older and didnt need the stroller. We caught the elephants show, saw many animals (that big fat polar bear is still around) and took the boat ride to Kids World for the birthday celebration. As I didnt bring my swimming costume or extra set of clothes, I couldnt join in the water play where many kids were happily playing. Luckily there was a playground for me to play instead. We missed the cake cutting session as I was getting tired (walked a lot and past my naptime). Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself in the Zoo and thank you Aunty Joanne for the invitation!

This is the way I drink my soup

I love SOUP, particularly Chinese type. Maybe I inherited this from Daddy who loves it too or maybe ah ma trained me into a soup person as she has been cooking soup for my daily morning tea break since I started taking solid food. When I first started self feeding, I was drinking soup using a spoon; scoop by scoop. Took me some time to finish and at times, I wasted some of the precious soup when I accidentally spilt it. One day, I decided to pick up the bowl and drink directly from it. It caught mummy by surprise and she was so afraid I might drop the bowl. Hee...I'm proud that I finished every bit of it successfully. From then on, I've been drinking soup directly from the bowl. Yummy!

Neubiliser Treatment

I was down with persistent phlegmy cough and running nose on the 2nd week of school. As I didnt recovered after 2 visits to the Doctor who was worried that it may led to bronchitis (the phlegm just wouldnt go away), it was advised that I should be given 5 days of neubiliser treatment. Because of this, I was out of school for 2 full weeks. The first Neubiliser treatment in the clinic freaked me out. I cried and struggled so badly. The second treatment at home was equally bad but luckily mummy started singing and it calm me down. Subsequent treatments became easier as Daddy and mummy found the trick was to sing from the start till the end of each treatment. Hee hee....

School & Me - I

School started on 11 Jan 09. I was quite happy for the 1st 4 days. Reality finally set in on the 5th day. Teacher told mummy I started to cry in class. Sigh. Of course crying is my "specialty" and there's another boy who cried too, so I also be a "copycat". I didnt like to be in the class without Daddy or mummy. I didnt know there were rules to follow. I thought it was just play, play, play. I didnt like to take school bus by myself. I didnt like some of the breakfast served. I didnt like the daily drink water from the water bottle session. But Teacher, Daddy and mummy keep saying things will get better and I will soon learn to like school. Hmmm, I hope so....Boo!
