new location, new goals..

Isa was here from April 2009 till end May 2010.

I am (was) here from March 2010 to Apr 2010.

Though Isa will be here but alas..

Anyway, Isa and I will be moving here (for me, its back) from June 2010.

Yay!!

What will our new route be like?

Hope it will be a enriching one ahead.

Thank you God for all your planning for me, as I will take it in stride.

:)

Have a nice day ahead everyone.

the first signs of his words..

Can you make out his name?

at 38mths+, Isa finally wrote his name for the first time~!

Well it can quite illegible in a way but for me its his first signs that he is ready for more intense literacy skills. Now I know his "writing-on-the-shower-screen-with-soap" scribblings works for him. hiakz..

Baby, Mama is so proud of you.

*muacks*

guinea pig..

when you have a mom who is an early childhood educator, she will always try to get creative.. somewhat or another:

be it dinner:

or

finding you to be her guinea pig student to see if the proportion of the ingredients for her lessons works:

ok, here is the verdict from the father and son:

dinner: was ok (still edible) except the carrots were a little hard.

dough: we did twice to get the desired texture. Isa was enjoying himself, saying he wants more of the flour and kept asking where we bought the flour and salt despite bringing him along for the purchase.

:) so baby, what shall we cook next week? *winks*

transformation of a superhero..

somehow our superhero had "transformed".

That was him:
Then, Nov 2008:

Now, Apr 2010:

and a new celebration: Isa is finally 13 kg!!

coffee fan..

wat a fan.

Cafe Latte from Starbucks. but not to worry cos I only let Isa had a little cos I am worried jus like you, worried that he cant sleep at night.

that was like a dinner to us, a grande Cafe Latte accompanied by a plain bagel, a pair of waffles and a banana muffin.

Damage: $15

Result: one happy child who keep nodding when he was eating (nodding means the food is nice)

technology world..

Many of you would have know that I am currently using a Samsung Jet (S8003) in which it had a function named "Dynamic Canvas". It is sorta like a Windows Paint function except that you can literally draw it with your fingers. Am proud of say the above work is done by me and this picture simply drives Isa crazy. He will "wowowowowowo" (as in the sound of siren cars) and he will keep saying, "police car police car". He even commented that the "man in front (of the car) is driving back to the police station". Wat a story right?

Erhm.. sorry my dear Art teacher. I know my art flop but who says you need a talented mom to be able to draw? lol

Monthly routine..

If you did not know, my little boy loves to read. He is always interested to explore prints, from a stack of newspapers to perhaps a magazine, to labels off a bottle and even prints off a scribbled note.

According to early childhood experts, this behaviour is actually quite common for children of this age, especially so when the child has been expose to this medium and also when this action is heavily practised amongst family routines or so.

So anyway, thus I signed up the NLB card for Isa. Since its FOC (kiasu me) so here it is, a card especially dedicated to Isa:

Oh by the way, you can do a immediate collection of the card once you registers with the e-kiosk at any library. Ok call me sua ku (lack of knowledge).

And of course, with the card, we also tried to teach Isa about the value of "borrowing".

Anyway on a side note: Reading is a wonderful habit. It is usually hereditary or cultivated through habits. *cough* now you should where Isa's reading genes comes from. lala..

He aint heavy, he is my father

we love spending time together at the Mama's dear laptop while she makes my milk..

we love fighting each other..

we have the same passion for Transformers.

though this can drives Mama crazy at times..

we also have the same liking for the same food:

Chocolate eclairs!

And of cos.. not forgetting the liking for the same woman:

Mama!!

Who were you thinking of?

I know it has not been easy to take care of me Papa, and that work has been full of turmoils for you. but Papa.. we really love you ya? Of cos we will not mind if you were to take time to bring me to ToysRus ya? *winks*

A new start..

Hey anyone missing me?

I hope so. :D Anyway Mama had been busy recently. She is moving to a greener patch of field for her work, which will happen to be my new school as well. This move not only will affect her work and will also sorta move our family back to Sengkang as well. If you were to know what had happened since two years+ ago then, you will not ask why now. If you are wondering why Mama has this sudden surge to move away from her comfortable zone, it was because she read a Sign from God. I know God is very powerful cos His signs for Mama were prominent that she could not resist following those signs. Don't ask me what and where and how Mama decipher these signs. Besides I am just a kid. *shrug shoulders*

But guess what? I know this is going to be a good move as not only I can show off my "leech-ing skills to Mama, I can also show everyone that I am a big boy. But guess poor Mama had to really sorta out her time management as not only she has to take care of me everyday in the evening, she also have to find time to do materials for tuition, also not forgetting spending time with Papa. *whispers* cos I am really really looking forward to have a younger sibling. *giggles*

Anyway here is a recently picture of us at Matthew's didi 1st birthday party. I just like to appear cheeky during a perfect photoshoot *neh neh neh*

usher the year of tiger..

If you had read our earlier entries, you would have reckon that we cant celebrate cny this year due to the traditional required"100 days of mourning" . Well, even if we are not so pantang (means supersitious in malay) but we still refrain from visiting our relatives at their places but still.. someone still get his ang pows..

its the quality not quantity definitely.

anyways appreciate all your thoughts :D

*mumbles* i actually save on about $1k from angbaos this year

the infamous terrorist.. in Jurong

my little terrorist at home.. with his *masking taped* gun..

-.-lll

Happy birthday bao bei..

Thank God for giving me a chance to be your dearest mummy.

I love you.. and will always do.

one expensive toy car..

When we went Jusco that day, Isa only wanted to get this car. Though he had a swop of colours but the design didnt change. And as a mum who believes in empowering her child's choice, she paid..

RM$49.90

Thank God its RM.

see Isa's skeptical look.. he was so into the car that he had to put it next to his pillow on that night when he slept.

but most importantly.. one happy child

When a dog rides a horse..

Only one sentence: poor papa Ray..

Zoo trip 2 Jan 2010

my darling..

did you realize that Isa is much taller?

Isa will always be my baby..

Such a cutie pie.. with his fav barney t-shirt
ok picture speaks a thousand words. enjoy..

mr boss..

im still seriously into the Marine Scientist thing

in memory of our Grandma

we were there at your bed side

it was the first time when Isa called you "Tai Ma" (meaning great grandma)

your face divulged a weak and feeble smile

though it was not enough to create a crease on your face

but it was a smile..

a smile that was good enough to tell us all

that you were more than glad that Isa was there

as Isa planted a kiss on your hand

I saw a trickle of tear flowed down your face

perhaps Gugu ("Ray's aunt") seemed oblivious as she used a hanky to clean up the wetness

I actually knew it was more than just wetness from the eyes

It was a sign of joy

A sign that tells us all that you were more than glad that we appeared.

Ah ma..

thought I did not really serve you a cup of "grand daughter's tea"

but you still stand as one of the strongest lady that I had known

as you are one of the only ones who believe in Mummy ("Ray's mum)

despite all the rumours and the talkings

yet you still stand by her and accepted all her shortcomings

You will always remain in our heart as the no. 1 ah ma (or Tai Ma to Isa)

Have peace with God

and we thank you for your blessings.

with lotsa of love from your

Grandson ah Mun, Granddaughter in law Connie &

Great Grandson Isadore

we will miss you Grandma.
