Momi is running out of ideas to make me keep my eye patch on. I would peel it off at the very first available opportunity. She figured that one way would be to bring me out to the playground or go gai-gai to distract me because the moment I get back into the house, I would immediately peel off the eye patch. Poor Momi! She had to bring me out over the last weekend and walk around for at least one to two hours, just to get my eye patched.
On Sat, Momi brought me shopping (with her eyes cos she could not go into the fitting room with me and my pram :p) in compasspoint for a good 2 hours on Sat. Of course, I also get to shop with my eyes as I could indicate to Momi what I wanted, but she would not pay for them. On Sun late afternoon, I was treated to 3 rides on the LRT loops in Sengkang, followed by more shopping with the eyes and then da-bao lunch. On Sun evening, I went gai-gai in the nearby parks and even went to the bus stop to count the buses!!! Haha!!! I would protest when I was not allowed to board the buses. Well, Momi just promised me that she would bring me for bus rides next time... Hmmm...Looks like Momi would really bring me for bus rides next weekend to Woodlands cos she checked out the bus routes liao. : )

Welcome to My Upgraded Blog!!!
Hi, folks. Momi decided to give my blog a new facelift. How do you like it? She finds it easier to post my updates and photos. The earlier version was creating some problems when she tried to upload pictures. Yah lor, that's why so long no yan-dao photos to show you... hiak hiak!!! Anyway, enjoy these wordy text updates first. The pictures are coming soon... (I hope...)

My First Visit to the Zoo
The initial plan was Dadi, Momi, Gong Gong, Po Po and I go to the Zoo together on Sun. However, Dadi's knee still hurts and Momi got Jiu Jiu to come along for the trip. Poor Jiu Jiu, who helped out at a friend's wedding on Sat, had to wake up early early on Sun to bring us to the Zoo. Momi had originally wanted to cancel the trip but she was afraid to disappoint Po Po and Gong Gong cos it is their first Zoo outing with me mah. Plus, I am so noisy and naughty in the house that Dadi could not rest properly... Sheesh, ended up she decided to bring me to the zoo and to patch my eye during the trip, hopefully I would be distracted by the sights and happenings and do not peel off the eye patch.
Well, I do like the zoo. Hmmm... not that keen in the animals lah. Momi and Jiu Jiu pointed out all sorts of animals, especially the monkeys and orangutans, along the way, but I hardly paid much attention. They were all high up in the trees and my neck grew achy from lifting up my head and trying to catch them in action leh. I was, in fact, more excited with the crowd and large open spaces for me to run about. It was a right move to ask Jiu Jiu along cos he was literally chasing me around. Hiak hiak!!! I love the tram rides and train rides as I would sit quietly and take in the sights along the way. I also love the wading pool at the children's playland but too bad, Momi did not bring my swimming wear and I could only play in the pool for a short 5-10 mins as it was windy and I was getting soaking wet. Of course, Momi also got wet as she waddled into the water with me, with her jeans folded up to the knees (like an auntie). Oh, I also love the swings and slides at the playground. I even attempted to swing myself on the swing.
We also visit the children's animal land where we took the choo-choo train ride. The place was pretty run down with some pathetic animals. There were some ugly black pigs with lots of wrinkles on their bodies and they smelt bad. In fact, the whole place smelt bad. The only creatures which I like were the horses, mini horses and ponies. Momi told Jiu Jiu not to bring me near to the fencing as she did not want me to touch the animals nor the fencing. There was a wading pool there as well, but it was poorly maintained and the water channels were littered with leaves and overgrown with algae. There were only 2 kids playing with the water. Jiu Jiu brought to see the hamsters, mice and chicks. Hee hee! I took the opportunity to teach my Jiu Jiu the letter "M" when I saw the word "MOUSE" on the display. We also saw the naked Mole-Rat and Momi developed the goosebumps as she could not tahan the sight of the mole-rat which has only a thin layer of fur and looks obsenely ugly and naked. Muahahaha!!!
We went for the animal show and the elephant shows, but I could sit still for the show. I was up and running and disturbing the people around. Momi had to pluck me up and bring me outside for a walk. Well, I ran and tripped on the wooden walkway outside the elephant show theatre and had a small cut in my upper lip. Of course got cry a bit lah, but Momi said I deserved it cos I ran. Hmmm... I do have a pouty upper lip for the rest of the day.
We went to see the polar bear during the token feeding time. I was enthralled by the big water tank and had fun tapping on the glass, just to get the attention of Inuka, the big white polar bear. Of course, I also helped myself to Inuka's toys which were on display. I like this toy which consists of 3 plastic balls linked up together. I also like Inuka's icy cold dessert, which consists of fruits frozen into a big ice cube. Cool!!! Wish Momi would serve me something like that!!! The waiting time was long and before Inuka and his Momi got their yummy feedings, I had already fallen asleep. I slept through the 20 minutes introduction feeding and woke up only when everyone started clapping at the end. Shoots! This justifys another visit to the zoo yah?
The animal which really got me interested was the rare white tiger. When I saw the 3 tigers, I told Gong Gong and Po Po "mao" (meaning cat) and I meowed aloud. Momi laughed at me and told me that they were big cats and they roared. Momi imitated a roar and brought me to a console which had several buttons. When pressed, each button would give out different types of sounds made by the tigers, such as purring, growling and roaring. I had a great time punching on these buttons. :)
Well, the trip had been pretty fun and it certainly beats the Jurong Bird Park (Yeah! Momi brought a group of Senior Citizens for JBP outing and she affirmed that she would rather bring me to the Zoo than to the Bird Park). If we do go again, Momi would make sure that I have my swim wear so that I could play long in the wading pool.
Photos?! Well, scatterbrain Momi forgot to bring the camera. Shoots! Wait for my next Zoo trip, ok? Ciao!!!

Ma-Mee Yah!!!
Since Thursday afternoon, I have been calling Momi by a super endearing "Ma-Mee Yah!" instead of the usual "Ma-Mee". Strange, but I only add the "yah" for Momi and no one else. Momi found it very cute in the beginning but got irritated with it by Saturday. She tried to correct me back to "Ma-Mee". She has also been training to teach me to say "Sorry" but not very successful. I would simply put my clenched fists to my cheeks to give the sorry look.
Nai Nai was telling me to call her by prompting me "Jiao Wo" in mandarin. Being the cheeky monkey, I obliged her by howling "Wo! Wo! Wo" instead of "Nai Nai". Muahaha!!! So naughty. BTW, I can say "Bye Bye" now. Hee!!! :)

Monkey See, Monkey Do
Cheeky Monkey has been quite naughty nowadays. :)
Other than imitating Momi in pain by making the "AW AW AW" when she goes "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch", I have been clowning around quite a bit in the house. For instance, I saw Momi pretending to ride a bicycle and I would copycat and pretend to pedal hard on my invisible bike too. Everytime Momi says "Bicycle, Cling Cling!!!", I would move my legs fast and furious, ma-chiam going for cross-country cycling competition.

When Momi asks me to cry, I would put my fingers to my eyes and pretend that there are tears from my eyes while making that "Wee Wee Wee" crying sound. If Momi asks if Teddy is crying, I would put my fingers to Teddy's eyes and make it cry the same way I did. :p
When I am naughty, Momi would order me to face the wall and tell me to "Ji Leng Tie Qiang Bi!!!" (i.e. stick to the wall like a lizard). Ho ho ho!!! I like to do this and I would duly put my palms on the wall and plaster my cheek to the wall like a lizard. How did I know how to tie qiang bi like a Ji Leng??? Learnt from my creative Momi lah. She demo to me mah!!! So, monkey see, monkey do lor!!!! This Ji Leng Sheng Gong has replaced my previous Hai Dai Quen. Nowadays I hardly do my Hai Dai Quen.
Oh, BTW, I am picking up new vocabulary fast. Other than the vomitting sound "Whey Whey!!!" which I picked up from Momi, Dadi and Nai Nai, I have also picked up "Pui!!!" from Momi. Yah yah!!! These sounds are a lot more easy to master and I simply love seeing the shocked expressions on the adults' faces. Keke!!! I overheard Momi telling Dadi that she is going to be mindful of what she says in front of me now. :)

What had happened in the past 2 weeks
Loads of stuff happened in the past two weeks. Ye Ye's house is finally done with the renovation for the kitchen and the toilet. Nai Nai had not been patching my left eye for the past 3 weeks and I have become very resistent about the eye patch. I would peel it off on my own.
Momi dearest had a bad fall last monday. She hurted her tailbone (2nd time injury) and was on 4 days MC. Nai Nai bathed me during the weekdays while Dadi took over on the weekends. Momi tried to minimise carrying me and bathing me to avoid straining her lower back. She tried to patch my eye on Thur evening but I struggled too much and she aggravated the injury. Yah, I was one naughty baby. Whenever she tossed and turned in the bed and went "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!!!", I would also copycat and went "Aw, Aw, Aw, Aw". An unsympathetic little fella, you say?
I had been such an entertainer to the adults in the past few weeks. First, my pool of vocabulary has improved, although I still baby-talked quite a bit. Here's the list:
Day-Dee - Dadi
Ma-Mee - Momi
Nai-Nai - Nai Nai
Ye-Ye Ye Ye Ye... - Ye Ye (I don't stop at two. :p)
Jiew-Jiew - Jiu Jiu
Gong-Gong - Gong Gong
Po-Po - Po Po
A-PLE - Apple
Na-Na - Banana (Haha!!! Yah, it's no more Mao Mao!!! Momi was very relieved. :p)
Plee - Please
Tan-kew - Thank you
Xie-Xie -Thank you (mandarin)
Zhan Xixi - dirty
Bu-Yao - No
Mai - No (Teochew)
May - Quick (Teochew)
Bao - Bun, bread, carry
Xia - Go down
Ku-Ku - shorts and trousers
Sock
Go Out
Sea Shell
Book
Pig
Zhu zhu - pig (mandarin)
Beh Beh - blanket
Puan - bolster
Man - Superman or Spiderman
Meow - Cat (imitating the sound made by cat)
WOff WOff - Dog (imitating the cound made by dog)
Ma - Horse, Zebra
Ehhh - Elephant (imitating the sound made by elephant)
Vroom Vroom - general all modes of transport on the road
Ga-Ga - Wooden monitor lizard in the balcony, anything ugly and scary, cockroach
Bi - Ribena
O-PHEN - Open
My favourite letters are "C", "O", "M" and "W". I can pronounce the first 3 letters, but everytime I sees "W", I would say "M". "M" is my favourite letter cos it stands for "McDonald's". Hiak hiak!!!!
When Momi was at home on MC, she would disturb me by getting me to call her "Ma-Mee" cos she finds it so endearing to hear it from my mouth. Dadi?? Dadi was happy to hear me finally calling him but he said the way I called him was too "dia", too "manja". You adults so troublesome... tsk tsk. Dun call you, you worry. Call you, you said I too "dia"... Enjoy my "manja"-ness now cos I will outgrow this phase soon. : )
I have taken some pictures over the past 2 weeks but Momi has no time to upload. Hopes she finds the time to do it soon. BTW, I would be paying a visit to Dr Ganga this Thur. See what he has to say this time. We would also be going to the Zoo this coming Sun, together with Gong Gong and Po Po. We would take loads of pictures and show you ok? Boy, so exciting!!! My first trip to the Zoo!!! Can't wait for Sun to arrive. I would get to see "Ma Ma" (Horse and Zebra) and "Ehhhh" (Elephant) and HIPPOPOTAMUS!!! I always laughs at Momi when she says the word HIPPOPOTAMUS cos it sounds funny. : )

Mr Smelly Feet
Haha!!! Paiseh Paiseh huh, but this update was decided by Momi dearest, not me hor. She cannot understand why Nai Nai allows me to wear shoes without socks. First thing, she thinks that I look like an lau ah pek (old man) when I wear my shoes without socks. Secondly, without socks to absorb my perspiration, my feet would be smelly if I wear the shoes for too long. Like Monday lah, Momi took off my shoes and detected an unpleasant smell. She called me "Smelly Feet" and ordered Dadi to bring a basin of water and my bottle of shower gel to wash my feet in the room. I was treated like an "Ah Xia Gia" with my maid washing my feet before bedtime. Of course, I got naughty and kicked my feet in the water and ended up making the floor wet lah. Of course, my shoes also found their way into the bucket where Momi gave them a good wash and scrub to remove the unpleasant smell. They are now having a nice tan from Mr Sun at the window. :)
Sigh, now I have all sorts of unglam nicknames. Frankly speaking, what is the big deal about "Mr Smelly Feet". I have heard of babies with nicknames that are worst, such as "Smelly Fart".... Ho ho ho!!! Compared to that, "Smelly Feet" is not that bad lah. As Momi currently controls the access to my blog, she can update anything she wants. Nevermind, when I can update my own blog, I will delete this update away...

Momi's Bad Hair Day...Everyday
Hiak hiak. Momi went for a haircut at the newly open JY hairdressing/ slimming/ beauty centre at Seng Kang. She decided to have her hair cut there cos her regular hairstylist - Auntie Jo has gone back to Malaysia. She decided to give JY a try cos it offered the cheapest haircut in the entire mall... but, it was a wrong choice cos the stylist cut her hair until very very short. Now, even Dadi's hair is longer than hers. Tsk tsk...
Anyway, Dadi kept poking fun at her, saying that she's got a boy-boy cut and spent so much money some more. Dadi said Momi should have used my hairclipper to do the hair job FOC... hiak hiak... Dadi laughed at Momi's hair and I smacked him on the tummy. Poor Momi, I can understand and empathise with you cos I always kena bad hair job from Dadi (with Momi as the accomplice lah). Nevermind, cos the hair will grow back quickly. It just that now I cannot pull your hair and stomp my feet on your hair when you put your head on the pillow cos it is way too short liao. Hee hee!!!
(Momi said: "Hair too short and ugly. No face to place my photos in Rara's blog. You will see my pictures when hair is longer. :p)

Happening Monday
The contractor didn't come in today and Nai Nai decided to bring me out to gai gai. First, we went to the Airport to send off an auntie to Indonesia, then to Lisa Jie-Jie's house for lunch and play play play!!!
I was thrilled of course, as that would mean I would get my bus ride as there is a direct bus service from Nai Nai's house to the airport. Yipee!!! As usual, the moment I got to the Airport, I went amok by running all over the place. Of course, I also remembered to pop by to say "hi" to my old friend - Ronald McDonalds and gave him a big hug. It was fun as Nai Nai and the other relatives played catching with me in the airport. :P
When I went over to Lisa Jie-Jie's house in the afternoon, the 2 of us had so much fun playing with her new toys. Lisa Jie-jie would talk to me and I would respond to her with my baby-talk. I had so much fun that I forgot all about my afternoon nap.
When Ye Ye came over to fetch us home after dinner, I was so tired that I slept in the car on the way back. The moment Momi carried me into her arms, I woke up and gave her the blur look cos still groggy from sleep mah. I was tucked into bed after my milk but I didn't really sleep well because of all the fun and excitement that I had in the day. Yah, I "han bin" (had nightmares) and woke up several times in the night, crying very loudly and insisted that I wanted this and wanted that lah. Want the air-con lah, want to be carried lah, want to go out of the bedroom lah...all in a semi-conscious state. Momi and Dadi tried all ways and means to pacify. The worst happened when my diaper leaked and I wetted on myself and Momi. I literally screamed when Momi stripped off my diapers and pants. I was tearing the place down with my wailing. When my cries alerted Nai Nai, Momi was more than relieved to let her take over and bring me to her room to sleep cos she could finally catch a little sleep as it was around 4am in the morning. :p
Yah lor, too much excitement in the day and that caused my nightmares in the night. Dadi is now contemplating if he should bring me to the Zoo cos he is afraid that I would have nightmares after the trip. Hee! Momi said never mind as we are going to Zoo on Sat. If I have nightmares on Sat night, we would sleep late on Sun morning. Yipee!!! Yipee!!! Can't wait to go to the Zoo!!!

B for "Mao Mao"
Momi and I were flipping through my picture books on Sat night. We came across a fruit bowl and she pointed to a banana and asked me "What is this?". I told her "Mao Mao". She didn't quite catch it and asked me what was it again and I told her "Mao Mao". I could see her face contorted as she tried to stifle a giggle while trying to correct me by saying "No, darling. It is a banana. Say BA-NA-NA." But I was one stubborn little fella. I told her "Mao Mao" again. Momi wanted to laugh out loud as she found it funny. She tried to get me to repeat "Mao Mao" to Dadi but I was angry with her for correcting me. Now, what's wrong with "Mao Mao"????
The next day, Momi bought me a bunch of bananas and as usual, I pointed to it and said "Mao Mao" again. She kept correcting me and it made me so mad that I refused to say even "Mao Mao" after that. Momi, you are hurting my self-esteem by making fun of me leh... :(
Of course, when we went back to Nai Nai's place, Momi updated Nai Nai on the episodes where I said "Mao Mao" for banana. Nai Nai was puzzled and said she never taught me that. Well, in actual fact, I used to say "Na Na" for banana. Hmmmm... now, who could have taught me that or was it self-taught??? Hmmmm, I shall not tell you yet. Wahahahaha!!!!

I want to Gai-Gai!!!
Hi, Momi. I want to go out gai-gai. Could u please help me put on my sandals? Please???
Nobody wants to help me. Hmmmph!!! I wear the sandals myself...
Having Fun At the Playground
Having fun crawling in the tunnel under Momi and Dadi's watchful eyes and camera. :p
Crossing the wobbly bridge and climbing up and down.
My Special Scale
Hi, folks. I tried to smuggle myself among the suitcases on the conveyor belt at Changi Airport check-in counter so that I could fly to Jakarta with my dearest Nai-Nai... Anyway, the plan failed and I was caught in this picture.... Tsk Tsk... didn't get a free ride on the flight but got to weigh myself on the conveyor belt. Hmmm 10.6 kg only??? Surely I weigh more than that? The scale on the conveyor belt not accurate one.

Hei Bi and Hai Dai...
Notti Dadi decided to call me "Hei Bi" (meaning shrimp) after he saw me throwing a tantrum and twitching my own body while I was lying in the bed. He said the way I moved was comical and reminded him of a "Hei Bi". He imitated me and kept calling me "Hei Bi". I hated it and twitched more... ended up kena laughed at by Momi and Dadi...
What is "Hai Dai"??? It is actually "seaweed" lah. Sometimes, I would wave my hands in such a way that they look like seaweed caught in the swift tidal currents so Dadi and Momi call it my very own "Hai Dai Quen", a unique boxing which incoporates the swift (or rather, perculiar?) movement of the seaweed. Well, it is not to hurt anyone, but more to inject some laughters to those who see me practising my "Hai Dai Quen". Hai Dai, anyone?

Expressions!!!
U folks must have been bored to tears with my blog cos nowadays got very few photos. Well, the photos are getting lesser and lesser cos I no longer guai-guai pose in front of the camera. I tend to go behind it to view the image or get really up close and personal to the extent of sticking my finger at the lens. Anyway, I hope Dadi got time to upload some pictures so that Momi could post them on my blog. BTW, got a hair trim yesterday. Not very even cut so the hair is ugly. Dun think there would be loads of pictures coming in so soon. Tsk tsk..... U will have to be entertained by this collage of funny expressions. : )

Happy Birthday, Great Gong Gong and Jiu Jiu!!! And Happy Children's Day too!!!
1 Oct is Children's Day. Here's a Happy Happy Day to me and all the kids in the world. It is also a special day for my Great Grandpa (Great Gong Gong) and my fave Jiu Jiu as they celebrate the birthdays on 1 Oct at Great Gong Gong's house.
See the yummy mango cake that Momi bought? She tried to entice me with the cake to get me to call "Gong Gong", but unfortnately it did not work.
There were 4 older boys and 2 teenagers at Great Gong Gong's place. Momi said I must call them Jiu Jius too as they are her little cousins. Haha!!! The term freaked them out. :p Anyway, they love playing with me as I am the baby mah. I ran and played with them and tripped over my toes at one point. Aiyah! Got cry a bit because of the shock from the fall. I did not bump my head lah. :p
There were so many adults and kids around and I relished in the company of such a crowd. I was not shy lah, but I refused to be carried by those new faces. I would sayang my Great Gong Gong's face (because he is the birthday man mah!!!) but I refused to be carried by him. Notti notti baby.
Those Jiu Jius very funny now. All didn't want to sing the birthday songs loud loud. Only my Momi sang loudly with me clapping my hands along with the songs. Nevermind, Great Gong-Gong. I will sing loudly at your next birthday celebration ok? 
Great Gong-gong blowing out the candle on the cake with help from the Jius Jius. Where am I??? Norh!!! I'm already getting ready for a big slice of the birthday cake... (Hee! That's me holding onto the paper plates lor. :p)

A Quick Update on What's Been Happening
Hello, folks! How have you been doing? Long time no updates in my blog yah? Momi dearest has been busy and Dadi has been taking few pictures nowadays.
Here's a quick update on what has been happening these 2 weeks - basically, life is very much the usual routine!!! Keke!!!
- I still have to do the eye patching everyday. Dr Ganga is recommending to increase to 3-4 hrs per day. Nai Nai has problem following doc's instruction as my skin would get irritated and red if the patch stays too long. Anyway, I have also figured out how to remove the patch so it doesn't really stay over my eye for long.
- Still refusing to talk, although I do say a few words as and when I like it. :p
- Visited Gong Gong and Po Po 2 Sats back and messed around the things in the house. I played with a ball of raffia string and hid it. Gong gong called up Momi to complain that he couldn't find it. Hiak hiak!!! I will go back next weekend and help Gong Gong find the raffia string, ok?
- Xiao Jing Jie-Jie visited Xiao Jiu Jiu in USA and brought back two sets of clothes and a cool watch with interchangeable straps and watch cover of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eyore. It's cool but I dun like to wear it. I like to carry it around and show off. When Momi wanted to put it on my wrist, I would wave her off. : )
- Momi decided that she wanted to potty-trained me, but was put off when Dadi brought up the possibility of me pooping in my pants and messing up the house. The peeing part wasn't so scary, but the pooping possibility was an absolute NO-NO!!!
- Uncle Johnson gave me a Barney water bottle. I love it and carry it around. Have not use it yet.
- Concept of money has set in on me. I now fishes out dollar notes instead of credit cards from Momi wallet. I smart boy cos I will always fish out the biggest value note, such as $50 or $10. I will hold the note in 2 hands, admire the print and laugh in delight before running around with the note. Usually I would run to the door cos I want to go out and buy things mah. :) Yah, I very money-faced one. $$$$

Ru Yi You
I'm sure every baby uses Ru Yi You on the tummy to relieve the wind in the tummy to prevent colic. Everytime I sees the commercial being aired on the TV, I would start rubbing my tummy. Recently, when Momi applies the oil on my tummy, I also tried to apply it for her too. Sometimes I rubbed on my own tummy after Momi applied the oil and then put my fingers into my mouth which sent a sting in my mouth. Yah, you are quite right to say that I deserved it. I still dun quite learn my lesson and still kaypoh with the application sometimes.
Haha!!! Whenever Momi asked if I am "xiang xiang" (smelling good), I would also try to bend forward to smell my tummy. Haha!!! So silly right?! So difficult to put my nose near the stomach. It is a lot easier to put my nose on Momi's tummy and smell the Ru Yi You. Yeah, I love the smell of my Momi dearest. It's a mixture smell of Ru Yi You, shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, baby powder...
