I finally did a collage for Dawn!

I am so sleepy!

Dawn’s sleeping pattern took a big change lately. I still have no clues to why, except to think that she is nearing the age of taking lesser naps. She used to take her morning nap between 10:30am - 12:00pm and her afternoon nap between 3:30pm - 5:00pm. Now, she bearly sleeps for 2 hours for the whole day. Sometimes it is only 10 minutes during the afternoon nap. Can someone enlighten me? I am still an inexperienced mum!

That Favourite Cafe

Dear & I would always end up in this particular cafe if we ever wanted to nua or have a cup of coffee when we are in Vivo City.

The sofa is just so comfortable that I always find myself behaving as if I am at home.

Have a nice latte shake or ice coffee, top up with the desserts, armed with some magazines, the place is perfect to pass that lazy afternoon…

The Learning Dawn

So now, Dawn @ 15 months, has been picking up her wealth of knowledge from any stimulation that she is exposed to. And it’s really fun to see her do those little actions associating with words.

* She lifts up her 2 hands when we say “Hurray!”.
* She points to her ears when we say “ears”.
* She attempts to stamp her feet when we say “Stamp your feet”.
* She claps when we say “clap your hands”.
* She claps when we say “good girl”.
* She claps when we say “clever girl”.
* She extends her right hand when we say “shake hands”
* She starts shaking her hands, body, head and butt butt when we say “dancing”.
* She waves her hands when we say “bye bye”
* She leans forward to our cheeks and plant her kisses when we say “kiss”.
* She lifts her two hands to a 90 degree position when we say “bao bao”.
* She shakes her head when she does not want something.
* She nods her head when she really wants something.
* She points to her cot when we say “where’s your bed?”.
* She says “mum mum” when she wants to eat.
* She says “mum mum” continuously when she is still not fed or still hungry.
* She points to birds and say “berd!”
* She points to dog statue and say “Doi!”
* She says “mew” when we says “cat” or point to the cat in the book.
* She looks for her book, open and read when grandma says “read your books”.
* She sits down to drink once we pass her the water bottle.
* She gently pat her tummy when we say “tummy”. (thought she still thinks that her chest looks more like tummy)
* She shows me her set of teeth when she saw me holding her toothbrush.
* She holds the toothbrush and start brushing her teeth, but 99% of the time she prefers biting the brushes instead.
* She runs to her usual sofa seat when she knows it’s time for her milk.
* She points to the TV when she wants to watch her Barney.
* She does her high 5s when you high 5 with her.

爱的感觉

曾经读过一篇文章，让我感触极深。文章的主题是“爱的感觉”。不知你读过没？

>>>>> 

爱一个人！要了解，也要开解；要道歉， 也要道谢；要认错，也要改错； 要体贴；也要体谅。
是接受， 而不是忍受； 是宽容， 而不是纵容； 是支持，而不是支配；是慰问， 而不是质问。
是倾诉，而不是控诉； 是难忘，而不是遗忘；是彼此交流， 而不是凡事交代。

<<<<<

不知谁是作者。。但很感谢他的笔录，因为它提醒了我，无时无刻地记得那爱的感觉。P/S : 如果你没看过看那篇文章，想看就然我知道，EMAIL 你咯！

Yummy Yummy!

The after-thoughts

Yesterday was my 2nd appt with HDB. I had a mad rush trying to do the final clearance last week… so many things to pack, so many things to shift, so many things to throw. Strange, I had already started packing long long ago…but there were just too many things to pack in the house.

Sunday as I spent my quiet time alone in the house, I was overwhelmed by emotions. I cannot help but to travel through the time machine and remembered the day when I stepped out of HDB after collecting the house keys. I can still remember I was smiling, skipping away, shaking the keys in my hands. And I cannot forget the smily faces of some onlookers who saw my expression and action then. Ironic issit?

As I look at the empty house, it was as empty as I first shifted in. Many years back, it was an anxiety to fill up the house. Many years now, it was an anxiety to empty the house asap. Ironic issit?

Almost half of the time I was there on Sunday, I was tearing up the photos. Taking everyone out from the album and tearing them to pieces. Why spend so much money on these photos in the 1st place? What’s the point? If relationship is not worth the effort or it’s so fragile, what can photos help? What’s the point of past memory if the relationship is an ugly one? Yes, it’s good, it’s sweet…ONLY if the relationship is sweet or sweeter as the years passed. Not only did the photos hurt my pockets then, the tearing up hurts my fingers too. Ironic issit?

Whichever is the case, I AM glad that the 2nd appointment is over! I repeated my way of exiting HDB as the time when I collected the key, only that this time, I was shaking the cheque instead of the keys. And with a very much lighted-heart, I left HDB. Till the time for my next house~

She finally knows it!

Horray to my free hands when it’s dawn’s feeding time!

My 2 babies!
