Busy Mommy

Dawn is not a girl who is very adventurous with food.  She usually stick to her own comfort zone when it comes to the choice of food. Things like bread, potato, carrot, fish, rice, kuay teow forms her daily diet.  We have to encourage and praise alot, in order for her to try new food.

No one can quite believe when I tell them that Dawn doesn’t like Ice cream.  Oh well

Till……we gave cone biscuit to her! She loves biscuits to begin with, so the ice cream cone is now the reason she will say “I want Ice-cream!”

And she has been snatching Gong Gong, Mummy and Uncle Patrick’s ice cream cone ever since then!

↓ Try Try

↓ Mmmm..nice!

↓ Want some more!

We knew we should avoid the Suntec area because of the F1 event this weekend, but we thought that since most drivers will avoid that area, it should not be that crowded in the afternoon before the racing starts.

And we are so right!  It’s so nice to walk in a near empty shopping mall ;p

We brought Dawn to have her hair cut, actually, Dawn was the one who reminded us that she wants to go for her hair cut when we were at Raffles Link.

I thought I have to let her sit on my lap, but who knows, Dawn sat on the chair herself! She gets to watch her Barney too!

↓ Don’t dare to move her head, so moved her eyes to “bio” Dear who was taking her photo. ;p

Dear took a short video of her. I am proud of my girl!

I always think that it is amazing that how the millions (or zillons) of hair can makes a person look really different. And I see the difference it makes in my little girl.

She hasn’t got much hair when she was out from my womb.  Strips of hair barely cover her round head…

And she looks like a baby boy!

Then her hair starts to get longer (ok I admit, I did not shave her head bare when she was 1 month old, because I can’t bare to!), and the hair decided that they did not quite like the idea of gravity.  So the hair looks like a field of lalang, or some said Dawn is always in a state of shock when I was taking her photos.

And the days (and months) passed, with the hair tired of rejecting the law of gravity, they decided to fall in place, but I think they are still finding their right place to stay.  And this is the time where people say Dawn has “a” bad hair dayssss. I can’t deny, but I think Dawn looks quite “toot” then. :p

Those bad hair days stayed for 2 months, and boy, I was relieved when they were more disciplined!! I thought she was going to have those kind of hair style for the rest of her life!

And finally her hair is longer and we started to tie or clip her hair and she looks girly with all the fancy stuff on her head. Issn’t her sweet?

When people asked me who cuts her hair, I will proudly said that the hairdresser is my mum.  Because Dawn looks exactly like me when I was that age.  We have the same hairstyle. Easy and simple.  That’s what kids supposed to be, issn’t? Alot of people named this kind of hairstyle the “ricebowl” cut. Do you know why?

Because it is as though using a bowl to cap the head and follow the edge of the bowl to cut the hair.  The fringe length is the same and the back length is the same. Creative right?!

A pity that the ricebowl hairstyle on Dawn going to stop for a moment, because she is too much to be handled for my mum now.  She can’t stay still enough for my mum to cut her hair anymore.  So it’s time to bring her to the salon to have her 1st hair cut experience!

My Mum : Where is Gong Gong （公公）? (Gong Gong means my dad)

Dawn : Gong Gong working.

My Mum : Where is Mummy?

Dawn : Mummy work in P*********. (my company name)

My Mum : Then what is Poh Poh （婆婆）doing? (Poh Poh is my mum)

Dawn : Poh Poh look (after) Dawn. (She omits the “after” word)

My Mum : Dawn Dawn leh? Dawn Dawn do what?

Dawn : Dawn Dawn drink milk milk.

We were doing some shopping at Marina Square over the long weekend.

Dear took this Man’s hat and put it on Dawn.  I think Dawn has this “Hat Face”, so quickly took out my Iphone and capture these photos.

Our little model for the day!

After taking all these shots, I realised that the Iphone camera is pretty good because each shot is processed very fast and thus can keep clicking the button to take numerous pictures within a few seconds.

I had declared the things that I wanted to complete…long way back in Oct 2007.  If you don’t know what I am talking about, it probably mean you had missed that long-ago post.

And I finally did it in Aug 2009! 2 years leh! But that’s because I only get to go for lesson once a week or some of the weeks/months I could not go for any lessons at all!

It was tough.  Sacrificing my only sleep-in morning in the week, waking up the same time as the Mon-Fri, rushing back from the school to take care dawn, having to tahan the nags from the various instructor that my lessons once per week is not enough -.- etc

I probably end up not driving in my lifetime at all (like my mom), but well, it’s still something which I used to think that I can never get the licence.  It was a step for me and the promise which I had made to myself.

Though I didn’t get the licence in the 1st try (nor the 2nd! -.-), but I still can’t help but to tell myself, I made it!

It’s been a long long time since I stepped into Singapore Bird Park.  And since the tickets are free (thanks to Dear’s company), why not?

It’s hot. Nothing else I can describe.  I am not a park person to begin with.  If you let me chose between an air-con  mall or a park of any kind, the 1st I will say will be the mall, even though I know that sometimes I will be bored with a mall than a park!

It’s the 1st time Dawn visits the Bird Park! She wasn’t extremely excited, and there seems to have some reservations from her when we are watching the bird show.  When we wanted to watch the 2nd bird show, she told us, “No, No”.  What a waste ><;

↓ Clever parrot!

↓ Something interesting happening on stage?

↓ Mummy was very nevous when taking this photo because Dawn is standing on a rock!

↓ Dawn is resting her legs and head on Dear!

↓ Out of the park and enjoying the ice cold coke! Such a good drink for both of us.  Dawn having her snack of bread!

I am Dawn, the teacher for the day.
