my candid take (30 aug 08)

My mummy loves this pic of mine. Took while I am eating or rather trying to get out of the high chair. She has initially wanting to take a video of me scooping the porridge on my own but as usual I just love to see what she is doing with the camera.

Planting (30 aug 08)

Guo guo planted the chilli seeds in the pot today. This is the second time we tried planting chilli plant. The first plant was very weak. This round guo guo did the planting all by himself. Of course aunty beth will get the seeds and dried them first.

Subsequently guo guo even helped to remove the dried leaves from the pots
while I "learned" to water the water, with an empty watering can.

See ! I even spent time "bonding" with them.

Introducing the rest of our plants ......

These are the latest addition, before the chilli. Any guess ? They are Xiao Bai Cai !

These are Basil plant. Mummy has them before I was born.
These are bougainvillea. Still trying. Mummy got the stem from XXXX. Hopefully it can grow mummy loves flower plant. Unfortunately we dont have much sunshine along our corridoor.

These are green and red bean plant. More for guo guo to see but dont think he is interested.

These are periwinkle plants. Mummy got them from po po a couple of weeks ago. Now they already bloom beautiful flowers for 2 out of 3 plants.

These orchid are papa's fav. A total of 2 pots. He got them during last year CNY. So far we only managed to get it flower once after the flowers have withered.

Teacher's Day (29 aug 08)

This is what guo guo (and mummy) has made for this year Teacher Day. The end products have a card on it sticked up using a toothpick. Last year guo guo did the same things for his teacher but mummy feels it is all right to recycle the idea as it a different school this year so no one knows. haha !

Eating with spoon (23 aug 08)

See ..... I'm learning to eat with a spoon.

My mummy said last time when guo guo is about my age, he simply refused to hold his own milk bottle.

marina mandarin (9 aug 08)

Yiyi booked a room at Marina Mandarin this evening to watch the National Day fireworks. It was a very different experience as we have a very good view of the fireworks and the air show, plus at the crowd hanging around the waterfront and in/outside marine square. It was raining at the beginning of the show. Fortuately the rain stopped shortly. We enjoyed the fireworks in the comfort of a hotel room.

We had a tibits party in the room too. So much tibits till guo guo had an ulcer after that. My 2 birthday cousins celebrated their birthday too.

I was very busy getting waterbottle to kate and my guo guo. Of course I managed to find time to play too.

Fruit Salad (10 aug 08)

Guo guo wants to make fruit salad at home today. His teacher Hani has shown them how to do it in class before. Not sure why he suddenly become very enuthusical with it. Keep pestering mummy to get some fruits from the market so he can make it today.

Recipe :
1) wash, peel, cut and stone your fav fruits eg apple, grape, watermelon, honeydew
2) place them in the mixing bowl
3) squeeze the orange juice onto the fruits
4) mix them well and it's ready to serve

They have added in apple, orange juice, grapes and long gan

Guo guo serving the fruit salad to mummy and aunty. I was sleeping then and they have finished all the salad before I woke up. Must be very nice !

Guo guo's front tooth dropped off (9 aug 08)

Guo guo called mummy in office this Monday (infact he called mummy nearly everyday in the office). His front tooth at the bottom row is loose. He was very keen to have it removed immediately but mummy was a bit worried especially only beth and guo guo (and of course myself) are at home.

When mummy reached home. She realised that the 2 front teeth at the bottom row are loose, not just one. Guo guo kept on touching it with his finger or tongue. He even told his friends in school about it. Mummy was a bit concered incase the tooth came off when guo guo is sleeping. The tooth finally dropped out on Saturday when guo gou is brushing his teeth. There was no blood at all. Guo guo was very brave and he looks abit funny now with a hole in his lower row of teeth.

Now mummy has another worry. She is concerned if the adult tooth will grow soon as guo guo's baby teeth are all very small and packed nicely without much gap inbetween. She worried that the mature tooth will not have enough space.

Guo guo seems to be very happy with his image

The tooth that dropped off is the incisor tooth (first C from the left)

My pokemon (aug 08)

These are all guo guo's pokemon figurines. They are all gifts from yi yi. Yi Yi bought them from Vietnam at only $0.30 each. Mummy wanted yi yi to help buy some more pokemons for yy in vietnam as it is much cheaper comparing to those selling at department stores in Singapore which costs $4 plus each. But of course there is a difference in the quality but I'm sure guo guo is more interested in the quantity then quality :)
