Puzzles!!!

I am a great fan of puzzles. My first attempt with this Infantino spelling puzzles was six months ago and I fell in love with it completely. Since then, I have been busy with the pieces everyday. Grandma added another Infantino 3D spelling puzzles to my collection and I really enjoy building them. Mummy also went puzzle shopping. She picked up this series of puzzles from Popular Bookstore ranging from transportation to insects to animals. They are more excited than me because I can fix puzzles that are meant for 3 yrs and above all by myself even on first attempt. My latest addition is this 28pcs giant floor puzzle. Daddy who bought it today at some bookstore took time to guide me and teach me how to identify patterns and segments since this is the first time that I am challenged with a puzzle that comes in so many pieces. With daddy's help, I completed it within 30 mins and wow... its a lovely picture of Noah's Ark. I cant stop staring at it. Eventually when it is time to sleep, I reluctantly dismantled the pieces and put them away in the box. Well, I shall revisit it again tomorrow and hopefully I can do it with lesser help. : )

I wasn't nervous at all and was walking around on my own inside the capsule. : )

Independence Day??

Talking about being independent. I have started feeding myself using fork and spoon during meal time this week. No sweat for a new beginner. On Sunday, we went to New York New York at Downtown East for dinner. Daddy ordered my favourite fish and chips and I enjoyed the battered fish and the yummy chips so much that I almost wiped out the basket..

The second attempt was on Monday. Mummy cooked dinner. This time I learnt to scope rice with my Thomas The Tank Engine spoon, and man.. its pretty tough.. I managed to eat 3/4 of the bowl and the fed rest to my Ikea bib and the floor.. oops..

Daddy and mummy gave me a nice surprise today. Guess what? I have my own bed in my own room!! I mean a BED and not a cot. This is really cool. I ran and climbed onto the bed and eventually fell asleep there. I'm rolling with the big boys now..

Its almost midnight now, daddy is chasing me all over the house to get me to bed, well, fat chance! I like my new pad but I like my independence more. Hooray!! Hee hee..

Grandpa and grandma flew off to Melbourne yesterday evening on the new SIA A380. They will be putting up with granduncle Thia, grandaunt Penny and family for this trip. Its really sweet of them to host the folks and I am sure they will have a great time catching up.

My Ah kong and Ah ma are here to keep Gabby and me company for the week. I am sure to keep them busy. : ) Car ride.. shopping.. mcdonalds.. playground..

Daddy is currently clearing up the en-suite so that Gab and I can sleep in it. It's an overdue project but better to be late than never...The house is now in a messy state with boxes and nothing else but boxes. To add to the mess, there are also stuff we bought from Ikea a week ago and among them is my new bed. How exciting! Cant wait to jump on it. : )

Well, thank God for daddy for he has been working hard on this massive project despite of his heavy workload and stress he faces. Jia you, daddy! I Bah Bu!!

Today, grandpa, grandma, daddy and I visited mummy and Gabby at the hospital... Aunty Jo who was there earlier than us went to Junction 8 to get us Mac for lunch.. yummy fries.. : )

My Mei Mei, Gabrielle

All I remembered was turkey porridge dinner in a rush for everyone in the house and I could sense excitement in the air. Next thing I know, we went on a car ride, dropping daddy and mummy at Mt. Alvernia Hospital (I know becos I was born there..hee) then I went back home with grandpa n grandma. At about 2 hours later, I became a Kor Kor..!! How exciting.. So here is a pic of my cute mei mei, Gabrielle. Folks said she looks like me at birth.. and guess what, she weighs exactly the same as me too at 3.07kgs! Wow.. God's works are indeed amazing.. even our birth time are almost the same.. I was born at 1130hrs and she at 1135hrs... so cool..

Can't wait for her to come home.. Gonna show her all my Thomas collections : )

I am BACK....

HELLOO... I AM BACK... FINALLY.......

Mummy said she will try to dig the past photos and fill in the gaps from Day 144 to Day erh.... xxx. Gosh...

This pic was taken a few days ago while I was trying to catch one of my Thomas episodes.. mummy said I look exactly like my daddy when he was young in this pic... what do you think?

Just some update:

Me just celebrated my 2nd birthday 2 weeks ago.. it was a great birthday party with absolute Thomas the Tank engine theme... from decors, to balloons, to birthday cake and can you believe it, even the table cloth is Thomas print! I am beginning to wonder if my mummy is becoming a Thomas fan too... : )

I am going to be a kor kor soon... mummy said I will get to see mei mei Gabrielle in July.. I am not sure if I am ready... I mean emotionally.. well, I am sure I will overcome the jealousy part very soon and be a loving kor kor since they said its only a passing phase... but for now, I just want 101% of attention from daddy n mummy...
