January is the anticipating month for CNY...so many shoppings and preparations done for CNY followed by all the get-together lunches/dinners with friends and family members dragged from 2008 Christmas celebration up to CNY reunions. It was really a fruitful and eventful yet tiring month...
Family Lunch at Tenji Restaurant at Mount Kiara(End of Dec08)
This was Eeanne first buffet meal at Japanese Restaurant, even though Eeanne cannot enjoy all the raw Japanese seafood, she enjoyed the most on the Hagen Daz ice-cream!! This restaurant has a very sceneric outdoor view besides its windy feels. Eeanne had become Weng Tarng suk suk model for his new favourite Nikon Digital Camera.

2009 New Year Steamboat Reunion (5th Jan 09)
Immediate after the celebration of 1st Jan of New Year, Eeanne's ku che(s) came down from Penang and we had another celebration of simple steamboat dinner at home. Of course Chloe, Max and Ian are invited, and Eeanne had a great time playing with her cousins.
Wah...yummy yummy....
hello...welcome to my home sweet home.....
my counsins.....Mama YeYe's birthday (10th Jan 09)
Few days after the steamboat dinner, it was mama & yeye's birthday. Everyone decided to have a joyful dinner at home rather than eating-out. Mama can't get her off day on her big day because she needed to be the main chef.

mama yeye's birthday.....
Eeanne's milestone in Jan09
1) finally Eeanne able to count 1 to 10 right to the dot in English and Mandarin without any guidance anymore (great achievement on her 19mth old)
2) Eeanne can sing A-Z but always miss out E, H, N and T. Scored 22/26 alpabets..ye!!
3) After yeye's several story telling session on "Jack and the Bean Stalk" to Eeanne during her afternoon nap, Eeanne had give mummy a big surprise as she knows how to fill in the missing words when mummy read out the story. Here is how it goes: (words in BLUE are filled by Eeanne)
"Long ago, there lived a "widow", she had a son called "Jack". They were very poor and had no money, but they had a only cow. One day, Jack's mother asked him to sell their cow for money. On his way to the market, Jack met an old man, he sold the cow and the old man gave him 5 beans. Jack was very happy. When his mother saw the 5 beans that Jack brought back, she was very angry. And that night Jack went for bed without any dinner."
Eeanne only interested up to here, after that she kept flapping the story book eagerly to see the big giant....
4) Besides the Jack & the bean stalk, Eeanne next favourite story books are Sleeping Beauty which she will always call out "I want Sleeping Beauty" and then asked "where is the witch?" She likes to see the witch in the story book and yet putting her tiny hand on her chest and said "scared". Next are the "The Three Billy Goat Gruff", "The Little Red Hen" and "The Enormous Turnip". I think baby's brain must be like a big sponge keep absorbing whatever they heard. Eeanne able to read most of the story books above after only the most 3 times mummy had read to her.
5) Mummy doesn't realise that kakak has been teaching Eeanne Bahasa Melayu until one day, in the car on the way to mama's house, mummy saw that Eeanne was pointing to her eye when kakak said "mata"!. Eeanne has master well knowing the words "telinga","leher", "mulut", "hidung", "perut", "kaki" and "tangan"!!!
6) After turning on few times on the Dhamma talk CD by Bhante Agacita, Eeanne starts to search for CD by saying "where is Mind your Mind?" whenever she is near to the CD shelf. (Mind your mind is the Dhamma talk title)
