Bye Bye CM!

My last few days at CM. I miss my teachers, they are nice. I like Ms Christina for being fun and creative, just like me! She taught me alot of fun songs and actions. I like Ms Ow for being sweet and kind. Always looking out for our welfare. I like Zhang Lao Shi for her being gentle and patient too. Will miss alot more other teachers, like Yvonne jie jie (HQ), Ms Irene (HQ), Ellen jie jie (HQ), Ms Seng, Qu Lao Shi, Ms Zie, Ms Ivy and Ms Kwee Eng especially. Thanks for loving me and giving me a fun time learning and growing there. Throwing things in the plastic bag.

Snacking.

Flour on my face!

Making dough.

Cheeky time!

Flour-y face!

My purple dough!

Adding colourings into the dough.

Ariel and I drawing on Ms Christina's hand. She's a spoting teacher. She is game with anything fun!

The boy next to me is Zachary. One day, I went home to my grams and mentioned his name to them. Yeye replied, "How come nowadays, parents will name their child "Chicken wing?" Hahhaaa....Guess I mispronounced his name, it came out as "chicken wing" to them!

New found skill--cutting with scissors. Since then, I have been cutting papers around the house. Mama had to get a plastic pair for safety!

Rae-Ann @ 7 Months Old

I heard mama said, "Ok, Rae time to drink water." And before she could reach for the bottle, I grabbed and stuffed it into Rae's mouth!

I can be such a great helper, when I want to! Muimui happily drinking too!
Muimui in her new exersaucer!

After much consideration, my parents had decided to get muimui a NEW equipment. Long story about why they had to consider for so long. You'll know when you know :P

Rae didn't like to sit in it initially. Every time she turned and faced the snail (the round ball behind her), she would scream and cry in fear. The snail ball made a "psh!" sound when spun. Guess, the sound freaked her out. But now, she had sort of accepted it.

Mama's 33rd Birthday

My parents went out on 23rd Feb to celebrate mama's birthday. It was their happy hour. Papa surprised mama by treating her to a spa massage and lunch buffet together, uninterupted. It was a good 3 years or more ago that they had last stepped into a spa salon. Think Papa wanted to rekindle the moments so he brought her to Aspara, the one they went before their wedding. Mama wished for this more often!
At night, yeye treated mama to dinner at Crystal Jade, Great World City.
Family pic. Notice muimui "keow ka" on the table?!

Mui with gugu and gu zhang, of course, minbean cousin too!

I just had to join in!

Papa bought a cake for mama. So sweet of papa.

Mama with her lovely gals.

Making a wish with mama.

Rae @ 7 Months Old

My mui mui is thriving well. But at about 6 months, she fell sick. Guess it happened when I was there to spread the viruses around. We kept "transferring" our germs to each other. But my parents thought Rae was stronger as they could see her body fighting hard and only came down with mild flu and cough. Thank God she still ate well.

Oh by the way, with number 2 in the family, I was told parents were less anxious and more forgetful with things. Sure enough, my parents kept forgetting to start muimui on solid after she turned 6 months old. For a baby who has had a huge appetite, they were really late.

For me, they were so kiasu that they started me on solid at 4 months old! Also because I could sit upright and my head-neck support was great. Muimui till today still sat like a rolly polly. Maybe chubby baby has this disadvantage--balancing issues. :P

Misc Photos of Rae from 5 to 6 Months Old

Yup, my muimui is "pacified!" (6 months old)
So sweet, right my muimui?! Looks like me?! (5 months old)

Smiley lil girl. All you need to do is to talk to her and she will smile.

Her usual "duh" look, inherited from papa! wahahha...

Rae-Ann at 5 months old plus. Smiling again.

See my mouth! Trying to control my yok gan-ness again. Maybe muimui is so chubby I am trying hard to resist pinching her fats!

Muimui: "Er..What happened?"

Sisters forever! :)

Long Overdue Posts--CNY

Long overdue pictures to share. My mama finally had some time to upload them. Without further ado, enjoy!

We bai nian to yeye and nai nai early in the morning.

Piggy mouth and muimui certainly didn't think I was cool at all squeezing next to her?

See me pinching yeye's ear? I have a fetish for ear lobes. I pinched mine when I'm sleepy, drinking milk and "yok gan" (tight flesh--literal translation in canto).

Mui mui with her ang bao, ops, I mean papa!

Staring at it again. She does knows it won't go into her CDA, does she??

Papa "confiscated" all our ang baos!

Photo with nainai and the main character was my Ang Bao!!

Ok, this is a better shot of my ang bao. Yup, take more photos of it as evidence that my papa "monopolized" muimui and my "finances!" I shall make sure I study economics or law when I grow up! kekekee....

At paternal step great grandma's.

Mama insisted Rae-Ann to wear a headband because she had enough of people commenting Rae looked like a boy even when she dressed her in all pink from head to toe! Humph!

Lunch time. Papa was feeding me. See my miserably face?! I hate food! I mean proper food.

Learning to tie my ribbon. Kow Fu bought me this dress. He had one for Rae too, but it was too big for her to wear. Thanks, Kow Fu!

Rae Rae with Nai Nai.

With Gugu and mini bean cousin! Well, that's what she calls him/her!(inside her tummy)

Not forgetting Gu Zhang, of course!

Aunty Sarah played with me. Yes, she's an "Aunty" to us even though she is only 4 years old because she is papa's cousin!

Rae- Ann with Uncle Edwin. Surprisingly, she didn't cry. Smell of fatherhood on him??

With Aunty Su too.

Rub some baby #2 "luck" on them!

With uncle KS.

Ops, muimui seemed happy, not Aunty Evelyn though. kekekek....nah the wind messed up her hair. Still looked pretty, ok aunty?

Papa and Uncle Edwin playing Wii. Can see I was sleepy but trying hard to fight my sleep. It was way passed my nap time and I simply refused to nap. Later knocked out in the car and missed my dinner completely.
