A Newfound Toy - Umbrella!

I suppose every object that a baby seldom see before, will always be appealing for him to play with! Well yeah we seldom let Vio see an opened umbrella at home, and we don't bring him outside if it's raining. So it's just natural that he almost never see an opened umbrella in front of his eyes. Well, actually got la, a couple of times when he was smaller. But before he can touch or play with it, my MIL would've been screaming to stop him from playing, in case it pokes his eyes or something..

Now that he's bigger, he's soo excited to see mommy open an umbrella for him to playy.. heheee..

And apparently, there's many ways to play an umbrella... You can spin it, sit underneath it, use it like an adult do, or you can also.. sit on top of it!

Love You, Daddy

[caption id="attachment_1118" align="aligncenter" width="225" caption="Muackss"]Muackss[/caption]

Awwww.. isn't it such a sweet thing? Vio loves to hug and kiss daddy from behind! Maybe it's his own way to tell daddy "I love you"? ;)

Oh yeah something cute... whenever Vio see daddy just came home, the first thing he'll do is.... to ask daddy to play with him! Like maybe he'll pick up a ball and go towards daddy.. Look like asking daddy to play with him. Whereas if mommy's the one who just came home, Vio will fast fast approach mommy and.. lift up his hand, asking to be carried! hahaaa.. maybe daddy's more fun to play with? ;)

Just for rememberance... the following is the list of words Vio can say so far, in the order that the word first came out of his mouth:

  1. Ball (or Bo-a == bola)

  2. Mamama (mommy)

  3. Dadadada (daddy)

  4. Berrrhh.. (bird)

  5. Baaa.. (banana)

  6. Ji taaaaa... (ji tan == egg)

  7. Pecah  (= break)

  8. Jatoh (= fall down)

  9. Bobo (=sleep)


Wah so far only 9 words yaa.. I hope the list is getting longer soon.. LOL..

Changing PD!

I'm soooooooo gonna change PD that Vio is seeing...

Last night, since Vio still refused to eat for 2 weeks now, we decided to bring him to the PD we normally bring him to. Actually from the beginning I didn't really like the PD that much... But since it's very near to our place and he also has after office hour consultation, so I thought nvm la.. Anyway we normally seldom bring Vio to see a PD, and we will bring him only after we're back from work..

Apparently the queue was suuuupppeeeerrrr long yesterday. There are more than 10 patients before Vio's turn! Woah.. We waited for about 1 hour before it's finally our turn.. tsk tsk tsk.. Oh yeah, before I forget, @ 14.5 months, Vio's weight now is 11.4kg, and the height is somewhere around 84cm. Which is more than enough for a 2 year old boy...

The thing I don't really like about the PD is that he's not really spending time to say "hellooo" to the baby to make the baby feel at ease with him. He also doesn't really want to explain about things, just say everything as "it's normal".

So yesterday, as usual, the PD was wearing a mask (which of course scare the baby, don't u think?) I've checked with my friend, and according to her, her PD is not wearing a mask, and her baby loves to go there.. oh yeah.. soo.. yesterday, as usual, my PD didn't try to be "friendly" with the baby, just talk briefly to us, then want to check on the baby directly. And Vio, seeing that a stranger want to touch him and insert something alien in his clothes, cry incontrollably. He cried and cried and tried to escape from this "scary person".  And I can see that the PD was quite upset because of it. Everytime Vio saw that the PD is approaching, he started crying sooo loudly that I can hear other babies in the waiting room started crying. Crying is contagious, eh?

I've never seen Vio cried until like that. He almost vomitted from too much crying! The PD was saying that Vio was having a stranger anxiety and that we need to bring him out more. Then I was thinking: hey, he was perfectly fine with other people, even people he doesn't know and only pass by at the lift, Vio will normally smile at them, and sometimes want to shake their hand! Well, I think if the PD at the first place at least tried to smile or play for a while with Vio to make him feel more comfy, Vio didn't need to cry until like that :(

And in the end, as you can guess, the conclusion from the PD was: Vio is perfectly normal. He's just going thru a normal phase of choosy eater. Even when I say Vio can just take 2 spoon for a whole meal, he said it was fine. Can you imagine: only 2 spoon for the whole meal, and the PD is not concerned at all? I'm not sure whether I can trust the PD's words or not :( He still can say that at Vio's age, he should be getting more nutrition from solid instead of milk. So we should give him solid more. But how can we give him solid if he refused to open his mouth while seeing we're going to feed him something!

Actually we wanted to have the next dose of injection for Vio at the same time. But seeing how much Vio dislike the PD, we decided to look for another PD to do the injection. Hopefully Vio will like the other PD... And pi&I was saying to each other that we're not gonna go to that PD anymore...

Ah, talking about crying... here's a photo of Vio wanting to be out of the stroller. No, it's not taken yesterday.. Just a cute photo of him pretending to want to cry.. hahaa..

Busy Busy Boy

Now that he can walk rather stable, Vio loves to go around the house here and there, for almost the whole day. Sometimes he'll bring balls around, or any other objects that he was playing, such as bottles, bowls, plates..

[caption id="attachment_1090" align="aligncenter" width="225" caption="Here and there"]Here and there[/caption]

The positive side is... we don't have to keep following him super closely (as what we were doing before), as he can more or less keep his balance rather well. Even if he fell down, it will be to sitting position, and after that, he'll say "jatohhhhh".... Hmm.. seems like most of his words dictionary are from Indonesian language hor? He choose to say "jatuh" instead of "fall down" or "die dao".. Another word is... "bobo" instead of "sleep" or "shui jiao"..

But actually he can understand all 3 languages! If we ask him (in any of the 3 language) to do things, he understands them, and will normally do as told.... kekekekee... for example:

  • It's so hot... Can you help to turn on the fan please?

  • Can you put the dirty clothes in the pail please?

  • Can you throw this rubbish please?

  • Can you bring the keys outside please?


Isn't he a smart boy...

Too Many Stressed/Lonely People?

I'm wondering whether the number of stressed/lonely people in Singapore increased lately?

This morning on my way to work, I'm standing near to of a guy, which I thought was inconsiderate. The MRT was full packed, people are standing like sardines in a can. And this guy was sitting sloppily, his legs are stretched to the front such that noone can stand in front of him. When I saw him this morning, I kinda thought that I think I saw him before.... And not long after, I remember clearly. I really did saw him before. Because he started talking to no-one! No, he's surely not talking on the phone, as he just turn off the handphone. He was just like grumbling and talking (to himself I suppose), I just pretended I didn't see or hear him.

And few weeks/months back, also inside MRT, few times I saw this old uncle, speaking loudly and singing (with a bit of dancing and clapping hands) inside the MRT! It's like he's having a show or something. And after finish with the chinese version, he also did another show in English. He first talk loudly, inviting people to watch him, then continue with the singing and clapping hands. His voice was quite nice, actually. But I can't help feeling sad and also scared.. Sad because they might do that coz they're lonely and need attention? And scared because... not sure how mentally stable they are.. How if they suddenly attack me or something? Kekekekee.. ok maybe I'm thinking toooooo far..

A New Addiction

I was sooooo bored in the office this week, with most of my jobs already finished (waiting for my system to be tested now. I'm sure when the user starts testing, I'll be super duper busy!)

So since I was so bored, and with nothing much to do, I started looking for something new to do... and then based on recommendation from a friend, I started my journey on... Restaurant City in Facebook! LOL.. Hey, I don't normally play any game in Facebook at all, ok.. This would be the 2nd game I tried on facebook (out of sooo many games and so many people playing for so long already.. yeah I know I'm kinda late...) and I like it!

In this game, we can design the layout of our restaurant, where we want to position the table, chair, door, window, other decoration.. And based on the coins we have, we can buy new furniture, flooring, etc to decorate our restaurant. And we can also learn new recipe if we have the ingredients. Sounds kinda normal, but I tell you, it's addictive! Hahaha! We can even design the toilet and garden in our restaurant.. I love this kind of designing thing :) Just that, the coins never seem to be enuff to buy the nice nice decoration/table/chair/etc to put in the restaurant..

Oh, I was quite confused on what to name my "restaurant".. For now, I name it "Munch House" kekekekee... not so creative ya? Still looking for a new creative name now...

[caption id="attachment_1085" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Restaurant City"]Restaurant City[/caption]

That's the current layout of my restaurant. I think I want to change the flooring. Brown, pink, and yellow is just toooooooo "dangdut", don't you think? Hahhaaa.. Wait wait til I have more coins first.. I also want to change all the chairs and tables.. wah I guess that wun be so soon... Changing all will needs loooooots of coins.. LOL...

Oh yeah, one thing I also like about this game is that we can hire our friends to be our employees.. They'll be either a cook/waiter/janitor.. hahaaa... Hmm.. now my hand is itchy to start playing on this game again... But must endure!! Can't let my boss see me play this during office hour.. LOL.. Just now he saw my screen and commented: "Wah.. Restaurant City ya.. my son also playing it.." LOL.. Lucky it was still considered lunch hour... Ahem.. before 2 pm is considered lunch hour la hor? ^^
