As usual I will fetch Xuan form babysitter after having my lunch with my colleagues. Most of the Saturday my hubby is not with us during the afternoon cos he needed to work full day. Sometime, I really hate his boss for being so “KIASU” but what to do this is life unless you are the boss.
This Saturday is a bit unusual to us. I never put Xuan for his afternoon nap after bathing him. I want to wash some clothes without using the washing machine cos it took some time to finish ½ or full load of the clothes. So, I decided to use my hands to wash cos the weather is extremely hot so that I can dry my clothes faster.
While I am doing the hanging, one of the cloth peg drop on the floor and this Xuan point at it. I ask him to bring the cloth peg on the coffee table for me. I am in hurry to hang the clothes and never pay attention on what his is doing. After I finish hanging the clothes at the car porch. I found that Xuan is missing. I called him and you know what I saw. He is coming out from the bathroom and his clothes are wet; from there I knew where he has gone. I told him “I am going to wack you shortly, who ask you go to the bathroom”.
When I think back, it really scare me and luckily nothing happened to him cos the bathroom floor is wet. Of course I never wack him cos it is my fault for not paying attention on what he is doing!! What a careless mummy am I?

I was on ½ day leave today. I went shopping with my best friend cum Xuan's so-called godma, Thresa. We meet up at town. We had our favorite food “Pan Mee” as our lunch. After having our lunch we started our “shop till you drop” fantasy. This is my first time shopping with Thresa ever since I gave birth to Xuan. I found that shopping without Xuan and hubby is really enjoying (please forgive mummy for saying this). I can shop at the shop I like and try as many pieces of clothes as I like without rushing. When shopping with Xuan and hubby, everything seems to be in a hurry. No joy at all. I really don’t mean to say that but it is a FACT. Of course we have to pamper ourselves once in a blue moon. I am sure you gals will agree with me.

We went to Mid Valley early in the morning to have our breakfast there. After that we do some window-shopping. I saw MPH is having a book fair right in front of their outlet. I saw this book, POOH’s Xylophone Book which I found it quite interesting. In order to persuade my hubby to agree to buy, I must use some tactic to convince him to approve me to buy this book for Xuan by saying “we can deduct income tax”. Haha… I am so tricky.

Today we had a visitor coming to visit us. My colleague’s Stephanie is coming over with her three little musketeers. Her eldest daughter’s Kelly which is 10, second son Denise is 8 and little Clover is 19 months. At first, Xuan is a bit shy to welcome them but after a while he is ok with them.
I found out that Xuan is a bit gentle boy. Why do I say that? Because when they are playing together and his toy is grabbed by little Clover, he will come over by telling me that his toy was grabbed away. It is good too cos it mean that he is not a rough person. Hahaha…

I found that Xuan is coughing less, so I decided to give him a bottle of Yakult. I take it out from the fridge in order to let the cold subside cos I really scare the cough is attacking him again. I make him say “thank you” by showing up his hand. He really enjoys it while watching TV. You gals must be curious why he is crying? I made him sit on the sofa and snap his picture without giving him the Yakult.

My little Xuan is 18 months and 1 week. I noticed that he knows a number of words and instructions. Beside he knows what is “bye-bye, goodbye kiss” and how to call me “Ma Ma” (the most important to me) and don’t want. He will say “Wow wow” when he see dog, “Bang Bang” when he plays with gun and he also know how to say “good” by showing his golden fingers too, no doubt he can’t say it correctly. I also taught him how to say “thank you”, when I say it he will put up his hand and saying "thank you” as well which sound like it. I read a magazine saying that the most important two words you have to teach the kids are “PLEASE” and “THANK YOU”. This is the most basic manner.

May 21, 2008

Little Xuan has learned some new words for the past few weeks. He knows “nyen nyen” (milk) and “NG MAI” (don’t want in Hokkien) and now he seems like knowing how to say in Cantonese “NG MOI”.

Sometime, I will ask him purposely whether he wants his milk and he will reply “NG MOI” to me. When he is hungry he will ask for his milk by saying “nyen nyen”. Sometime, I really not sure whether he really wants his milk or not. I will double confirm with him by asking him again.

Myself : You want “nyen nyen” arh?
Xuan : He will nod his head.
Myslef : Make sure you must finish it, ok?
Xuan : He will nod his head again.
Myself : Ok, you lie down first and wait.
Xuan : He will lie down and making some noise too.

After finished his milk, he will acknowledge me and passed his bottle to me and at the same time he will wipe his mouth but sometime he will forget to wipe too.

Usually we will “tar pao” our dinner due to I am lazy and don’t like to cook. Don’t know why, out of a sudden I am craving for the “Pan Mee” at Mid Valley. So, I decided to call my hubby asking him to be back home early so that we can have “Pan Mee” as dinner. This little Xuan is so keen on the phone. Whenever there is a call or I call out, sure he wants to hear the phone. He won’t say anything even though his dad on the line. He will keep quiet and not saying a word. When the other side put down the phone then only he blah blah…

May 19, 2008

Yippeee..... finally my litle Xuan know how to call me “ma.. ma...”. I will ask him to call me whenever he wants something. Sometime, I will pulled off his ‘nyeuk nyeuk” just for asking him to call me. He is quite funny, when he calls me “ma... ma...”, he will nod his head. But this also is according to his mood. I also found out something, when you ask him to kiss you, sometime he is willing but sometime NO.... I will trick him this, I will say PLEASE PLEASE DON'T KISS ME, I DON'T WANT. He will definitely kiss you more than once. Kids are like this when you say NO, they will do it and by the time you want them to do, they don’t do!

I have been coughing madly for the past one week. My little Xuan has recovered from his coughing and now the virus is attacking him again. My hubby blamed me for passing the virus to his son. I also don’t wish this happened to him. When I see him coughing madly, I got heart ached too…

Since my cough is not recovering, so I decided to pay a visit to the doctor again. While waiting for my hubby, this little Xuan see my hairclip on my head. He really likes to play with it, so I take the opportunity to plant a coconut tree on his head. Of course he will pull it….

May 12, 2008

Xuan got a box of chocolate from his “Yee Ma” (my sister) when we visited my mother (Xuan’s Po Po) on Sunday (Mother’s day). We never celebrate mother’s day for my mum cos she is not feeling well. She is also having a bad cough too. I used to get her a piece of cloth for her on every mother’s day and ever since she is unable to walk (she having stroke and it made her right hand side paralyzed for the past 13 years), I rather give her a small amount of money.

Since Xuan is behaving well today, so I decided to let him take 2 small piece of the chocolate. He really enjoys it very much!! Of course I will make him drink plenty of water after taking the chocolate!!

While I was driving, I heard my phone sms rang. When I reached home I opened the message, which is from my friend Anne, the lovely message read like this...

A mother’s day message to all pretty mothers,
A mum is a rose whose petals are soft,
A mum is a lily whose stem is tall and strong,
A mum is a person who is never wrong,
A mum is a person you should LOVE forever,
Trust her, believe her and never doubt her,
From one mum to another,
Pass this to someone who You think is a good mum,
I just did, HAPPY MOTHER”S Day!

Of course I never forget to send this lovely message to my dearest friends!

Most of you gals don’t really see my little boy wearing colorful baju or pants. The babysitter bought this pair of baju and pants for him during Chinese New Year. Most of his baju or pants are blue or white which are my favorite colors.

May 08, 2008

While I am getting ready his stuffs and what I found is this little fellow is scooping the washing powder and trying to pour in the washing machine container. He failed to do so and all the powder drop on his face and on the floor too. I was in shock and hurried to his aid and I quickly bathe him.
He knows that he has done wrong. He dares not to walk on the spot where he accidentally pours the powder. When I bring and ask him to go there, he will shakes his head. Whenever I am in the kitchen he will stand at the kitchen doorway with his innocent look waiting for me!

May 08, 2008

I really cannot stand not to snaps pictures of little Xuan. If I don't snap his pictures why must I buy a camera? If got camera sure must use a lot or else wasted! So here comes the naught boy acts!

May 07, 2008

After his nasty act, everything backs to normal. I bathed him and get ready his stuffs and off we go to upstairs. I managed to snap some of his funny acts. Sometimes, I am wondering where he learns those acts? Some of his acts are really funny!!

May 07, 2008

Today, I went to fetch Xuan after my office hour. When I reached the babysitter’s house, I saw Xuan has put on his shoes on his little feet. At that moment, I thought he want to go home but he doesn’t seem want to go home. He wants to play with the Ko Ko. I have no choice and let him play for a while. I have been trying few attempts to persuade him to go home but he refuse.

Myself : Darling, come we go home.
Xuan : He shakes his head.
Myself : Come we go driving.
Xuan : He shakes his head again and run away too.

After persuading him for few attempts, my calmness has reached to certain extend. I use the rough method. I don’t bother he is crying loudly and sadly, I just carry and put him on his car seat and off we go. He cries and cries and choking badly. Of course at that moment I am afraid of his choking. Whenever he is nasty, I will give him his pacifier to calm him down but this time he refused to take. So you can imagine how nasty he is! After a while, he really calm down and we reached home safely!

May 05, 2008

I will let Xuan to play with his toys while I am getting ready his stuffs. He knows how to join the lego. He is a bit choosey type too. He will only choose certain design for staking it.

May 04, 2008

We bring Xuan for a haircut today. We are worries that Xuan will not co-operating. He seems to be quite co-operative and of course he cries a bit, not like the previous incident. I keep on saying “Ko Ko cut siew siew” (little bit, little bit). No doubts, there is hard time for the hairstylist too but I managed to trick him by giving him the wet tissues. After all his is well behaved. I will give him 7/10. What do you think of his new look?

May 01, 2008

Today is Labour Day, we are not planning for any shopping but we still go to Sunway Pyramid for our lunch. My hubby really likes to eat at Genki Sushi. After having our lunch, we headed home for our afternoon nap.

On our way home, I always keep reminding them (hubby and Xuan) that Mother's Day is around the corner,what he has planned for me?

What Our conversation goes like this:
Mummy : Daddy, Mother’s Day is around the corner, so what are you going to get for me?
Daddy : I think there is some problem with you, is Mother’s Day and you want a present from me?
Mummy : You can buy me a present on behalf of your son for me mah….
Daddy : Hahaha…
Mummy : Xuan, what are you going to get for mummy? Can I buy a pair of pants and I will take the money from your account, ok?

Actually, I was joking with them. I don't need anything from Xuan at this moment. As long as he is growing up healthily is the biggest present for me!

In the evening, we go to "pasar malam" for our dinner. Due to weather is extremely hot and it make each of us sweating like mad especially my hubby and Xuan, without a second thought, we decided to bring Xuan for a haircut this coming Sunday.
