Potty train

It takes less longer than mommy expected to successfully well train Eeanne on potty. It had been quite some times frustrated seeing Eeanne poo poo on her diaper without telling anyone, actually Eeanne was quite not hygenic as she could even walking or playing around with her poo poo in the diaper until we smelt her "aroma".

Since then mommy and mama started to train Eeanne to poo on potty, slowly she understands the hygenic concept, then recently we started to get her to inform whenever she wanted to urinate, and surprisingly this takes only around 3 weeks, now Eeanne even raise up her right hand (taught by yeye) and said "mommy...i want to shi shi..."

Wah!!! Congratulations!! Excellent Eeanne....

Next level - mommy was thinking how to train Eeanne for night potty train, to sleep without the diaper...hohoho...really a BIG challege for mommy especially (because mommy herself is a soundly sleeper:-/)

One midnight, Eeanne was making noice from her sleep calling for mommy:
Eeanne: mommy i want to shi shi...
Mommy(very sleepy): Eeanne..it is ok, you are wearing diaper, you can shi shi on the diaper..
(hehehe...what a mommy!!!)
Eeanne(crying): mommy i want to shi shi on the potty....
:-/...:-?...:-(
Sleepily mommy brought Eeanne to the washroom...
haha...who is training who.....???

Mommy's voice

It is right to say that children have the purest and clarity of mind, less obstruction and more open and prompt in learning new things, this can be proved by mommy's recent experience.

Yesterday we had our dinner at IOI Mall Sakae Sushi, Eeanne had her favourite Salmon Fried Rice and Mr Panda sushi.

After the dinner, Eeanne was attracted by the big fish tank at the ground floor foyer. Daddy was carrying Eeanne to enjoy watching the fish while mommy left for the Body Shop which is few shops away. On the way to Body Shop, mommy was attracted by the Sinma promotion and went in to look for Eeanne's hair band. It was less than 5 min that mommy saw daddy holding Eeanne going to the Body Shop direction, they were back facing mommy.

It was quite noisy with the mall music played and people walking around, so mommy had to raise up a bit on the voice to call: "I'm here dear.." (volume 4 out of 1o maybe....). Daddy didn't hear and kept straight towards the other direction, but to mommy's surprise, at the moment mommy called up, Eeanne instantly turned her head to mommy's direction, in the hassle of the crowd, Eeanne heard mommy's voice!!! Of course Eeanne didn't spot mommy, she turned her head and called up "mommy" with her left hand pulling daddy backwards.

At her height, Eeanne can't see mommy standing afar, but her facial expression clearly showed that she was looking anxiously for mommy from the mommy's voice direction...

It is so amaze to see the eagerness and anxiousness of Eeanne searching for mommy. For that few seconds, mommy feels the strong bonding between Eeanne and mommy. Since her birth, every night Eeanne was hearing mommy's story telling and I believe at her age with the clarity of mind, mommy's voice has been deeply imprint into her mind, it is so pure and clear until the voice from the hassle crowd will not have the chance to intrude into it and affect her judgement.

Isn't it we adult as we grow, our mind are partially polluted, which somehow affects our mental judgement sometimes. So how to gain back and maintain our pure mind??? mmmm....meditation....

Family Trip to Bukit Tinggi

Actually this is the 3rd round mommy and daddy went to Bukit Tinggi. 1st time was before mommy daddy get married and 2nd time was during mommy few month pregnant with Eeanne. This round was the happiest experience with Eeanne and mama yeye suk suk together.

Wah..we stayed at Colmar Tropical, very nice and comfortable King Delux room with the hill golf view. One thing can't deny, here is really the best place for relax, discharge and meditation, not much activities to do, so we feel so BORING....Luckily here has a children play room for Eeanne to pass her time.

Things do not change much, 8 years ago, daddy and mommy had our western dinner in one of the restaurant here, that was when daddy proposed..:-)

Today we went to the same restaurant to try again our favourite lobster soup....same couple, same environment, same feeling, same restaurant but unfortunately the same lobster soup we ordered had different taste already...i will say it didn't taste as nice as once we tried, quite disappointed. But luckily one thing which obviously different is now we have Eeanne around....

It was really a quiet night, we spent most of the hour in the room. We had a indoor picnic!! haha, we ate the whole night...after instant noodle then sandwich, then curry chicken can then so on and so on...Luckily we brought along Eeanne puzzle mat and her favourite princess dvd and player, so she spent the night with kakak playing her puzzle and watching dvd.

We slept early that night and woke up early for Japanese Tea House. Eeanne likes here especially spending her time feeding the pond fish with fish pellets.

We thought of giving Eeanne the chance to have a donkey ride in the rabbit farm, but when we reached there, it was donkey resting time, needed to wait for 1 hour to have the ride..aiya, finally we decided to head off for town, we missed the hassle life in town already...haha

Home Fun

Again due to H1N1 pandemic, we can't bring Eeanne to public swimming pool. Finally mommy brought Eeanne a mini home pool!! Eeanne had a great time but pitifully can only playing alone without her cousins around, she is having her own great fun....

Unfortunately, after the swimming that afternoon, Eeanne is immediately running down with cold that night...oh oh...Daddy has his bingo, the front car porch is 2,5 sick location according to fengshui point of view..see do you believe in fengshui???

Favourite activities

Sometimes mommy really out of idea on what to keep Eeanne occupied on every weekends. Whenever comes to Sat and Sun, mommy has to think of all sorts of home activities for Eeanne (since can't go out much to public areas due to the H1N1 pandemic). Thus sometimes mommy really feels Eeanne is wasting time at home, wandering about without special new things to learn. Her favourite activities will be playing "blocks" and coloring.

After many times of playing these 2 games, finally Eeanne catches the skill of coloring inside the line, before this she was simply scratching the whole color books and making a mess. At least there is improvement though it is not perfect yet.

On playing 'blocks', Eeanne has develope her own creativity, sometimes she will make one and say: "mommy Eeanne make a giraffe"(can't identify anyway except the long long stacks of blocks that she made represent the giraffe's neck).

Here are Eeanne's effort...hooray...

not bad huh..at least got improvement

this is a train

this is a car

Eeanne's understanding of money matter.....

Through the playing of "Princess" Monopoly that daddy bought for Eeanne, there are few learning lessons that she picks up from this games such as paying money for buying houses, counting the dots on the dice, counting money, follow the rules etc.

One day, as usual mommy had 121 leisure talk with Eeanne, the conversation went like this:

Mommy: Eeanne...next time when you grow up, how many house do you want to buy?
Eeanne: Two.

Mommy: These two houses are for who?
Eeanne: For mommy.
(so pleased to hear this...:-) A big kiss...muak...)

Mommy: Then Eeanne...when you grow up and work, how much money will you give to mommy every month?
Eeanne: Two ringgit!
(beating my forehead...faint...:-/ :-(

Daddy's Birthday....

27/08/09-daddy 38th birthday

Daddy’s birthday is such a big event, sort of Agung’s birthday, the King and the Queen were both taking a off day to celebrate this memorable event with Eeanne

Programmes:
- Lunch at Sunway Pyramid’s Canton-I
- Shopping at Sunway, it was daddy’s spending day, instead of Eeanne giving present to Eeanne, daddy wanted to buy Eeanne’s present on his birthday, so daddy bought 4 story books from Popular book shop
- After 4 hours outing, we went back for Eeanne to take a 2 hours nap, recharged for coming night programs
- Birthday celebration continued with “candle light” dinner(with Eeanne) at TGIF in 1 U. We choose TGIF because “kids eat for FREE” haha :-). The food served was really in huge portion and ended up we had 4 “ta pao”. There was a special arrangement by the TGIF staff that gave daddy a birthday singing with candled cake.

The whole programs went so smooth except the minor delay for dinner (back from planned scheduled) due to raining jam.

Daddy & mommy realized that no matter how we celebrate this birthday, Eeanne is still the main focus of all, with Eeanne around is the biggest and priceless birthday gift for daddy no matter how the programs go, even with the birthday song presented by TGIF staff, it looked more like was Eeanne’s birthday instead for daddy’s, the sense of contentment is indescribable just looking at Eeanne’s surprise look.

Eeanne has given daddy her first birthday song singing at her age of 2yr 3mth…(“daddy…you should feel proud with this, mommy is jealous)

After daddy’s dinner, we went to sam sam’s new house(new house move in day). It has been almost 1 month Eeanne didn’t meet her cousins, so they were really had a good time. That night was the first time Eeanne didn’t want to follow daddy mommy back home. Even everyday in mama’s house, Eeanne will eagerly waiting to be taken back home by either daddy or mommy. But tonight Eeanne had surprised everyone by saying “mommy you go home, I want to sleep with Chloe che che”
Eeanne was seriously wanted to stay, this made daddy mommy a bit panic. After a few persuasive effort to bring Eeanne back, she started to throw tantrum, crying and burst out words that really hurt mommy’s heart. Eeanne yelled at mommy saying “I don’t want mommy, I beat mommy”.
For the first time, mommy’s heart was shedding tears, mommy understands how much loneliness that Eeanne felt all this while that made her so much wanted to stay and play with her cousins. That night Eeanne cried all the way home in the car….
Mommy really hopes to give you a sibling soon. I love you Eeanne….
