Xuan Jie & Qi!

Xuan jie and Qi are good sisters. We take good care of one another and enjoy each other company. We always turn Ah Ma’s house “upside down” on weekends @ fun. :P

Xuan Jie and Qi!


Jiejie, no more sweets now! Can we get some more from Ah Gong?

Kai didi has started to learn to walk independently, albeit small steps. We are looking forward for Kai didi to join us in the fun!

Our Ah Beng!

拜年, House Visting @ Chinese New Year!

Lovely snap on the first day of Chinese New Year! Cheeky Qi!

Where are my favourite prawn crackers? :P

Ready to go now!

Mandarin oranges in AGE for good luck and prosperity!

Mickey and Minnie! Let me teach you how to “拜年" with mandarin oranges. :P

I am an independent girl. I refuse help whenever I go down the stairs.

Ah Ma! Ah Gong! Here I come!

Pauline Jiejie, Xuan Jie and Qi!

Taking a break after a long day!

Mimi prepared a sumptuous steamboat dinner for us!

除夕! Chinese New Year’s Eve!

We finally managed to get Mickey Mouse seat padding for my car seat. Mimi was so happy because it was the last set available in the shop. Look at how happy I was!

Let me adjust it so that it is more comfortable! Yeah! We were on our way to Ah Ma’s house for reunion dinner after my weekly class. Reunion dinner (i.e. "tuan yuan fan" - 团 圆 饭)is a must for Chinese New Year where all family members gather together on the eve of New Year for dinner.

It was time to get busy after reunion work. Eleventh hour work before the New Year kicks it at 12midnight! I am a good girl. I helped Papa to fill up our rice container to the brim. It’s a auspicious because it ensures that we will have plentiful to eat and "excess" (i.e. wealth).

Putting up the decorations two hours just before the midnight! :P

I like the cheery kids with the “fu” (i.e. fortune). Huat ah!

Gong Xi! Gong Xi! Thank you Mimi! A..Papa! Where was your Ang Bao?

Admiring my nice Ang Bao!

It was time to check up the Ang Bao! Hehe…

I am a 29 Months Old Girl Now!

Yeah… I am 29 months old now! Almost 2.5 years old! :)


A little update: I am “fully toilet trained” since about 1-2 months. Just to share with you with my experience; I was “confused” for 1-2 weeks when Papa and Mimi put me on diapers when I am out of the house on shopping trips and in the car. At times, I assumed that I had diaper on and wee on my pants in the house. Opps.. Papa and Mimi realized it and decided to let me go “diaper-free” at all times (except sleeping time @ night time). It works! The only challenge is for Papa and Mimi to rush to look for the nearest washroom whenever I say “Shi Shi” outside of the house. Hehe…

I am definitely getting more vocal and expressive on my preferences and needs. E.g. insisting on wearing one shoes over the other, asking for yoghurt and snacks at tea time, pulling Papa by the hands and insists that he read to me, asking Mimi to bring me to the playground: “Mimi, go to the playground. Please”.

Papa complained to Mimi that I am starting to test their limits and he is gradually setting the parameters for me. Opps… I am in trouble. Tell u a joke, when I see Papa going into the room to get his “weapon” (i.e. cane) at times, I will run to Mimi and shouting: “Help me!” The good thing is Papa seldom use it to beat me. He will try to explain to me what I had done that were inappropriate, though at times the canes could still land on my bum bum too. Sob Sob…
