tv addict!

Jayden's mummy :-

31st October 2008 - Like most toddlers, Jayden has this habit of glueing himself to the tv once it's advertisements time. He'll watch the ads big-eyed, and at times he'll laugh and chuckle if he finds it funny. It is kinda funny bcox i'm pretty sure he inherited this habit of being addicted to the tv from his daddy! Yes! I'm very, very honest about this.

From the early days when i first know hubby, i oledi realised he has this habit of being addicted to the tv. If he's watching a show he likes, try talking and telling him sth, ninety-percent of the time he ended up not hearing wat u are telling him! Yes, i was really pissed off at the beginning, but now i'm oledi getting more used to it! Hahaha... and now, our son turns out to be like his daddy. Watch the way ahDen reacts whenever advertisements play on the tv. He'll stop watever he was doing, and immediately turned his head to the tv set and stayed affix staring at the tv! Sigh!

Lately there's tis Digi Ad with the cute rubber duckie quacking in front of a loudspeaker. Guess wat.... tis amused ahDen so much tat he imitates the rubber duck, dragging his quacks... but he can't pronounce 'quack' tat well yet, and ended up he'll say 'argggghhhh.......' dragging on til he's out of breath! Who says tv wont be a bad influence to ur child?!?!?!

Tis clip was taken on last Fri nite, and as usual i was at my aerobics class. So tis is the way hubby babysits when i'm not around, hmm... or was it the tv tat was babysitting??? Hahaha... ;)) "

cute noises...

Jayden's mummy :- "

29th October 2008 - Today i successfully recorded these clips of naughty ahDen babbling to himself... hmm.. or maybe he was trying to talk to me. ;)) He wanted to get inside his walker, and lately he owest wanted to get into his walker so tat he can pretend he is driving. I noticed tat he owest observes daddy whenever daddy is driving. He'll look at the way daddy steers the steering wheel, then the way daddy pushes in the gear.

AhDen's walker, being the model of an aeroplane, has a steering wheel and a tiny horn tat can makes 'beep beep' sound. So i owest showed him how to turn the steering wheel to his left and then to his right as if he is driving. So tat's wat really attracts him to his walker! He thinks he can drive! Once in a while he'll persuade us to place him inside his walker (else he'll tries to climb in himself!), and then his driving fantasy will begin. U can see him steering the wheel left and right, then pushes the horn, and also he'll push the lever on his left to & fro as if pushing in a car's gear!

Lately too ahDen will make the 'vrooomm' sound whenever he tries to associate sth to an automobile, mostly cars & aeroplanes! He'll say 'vroomm' whenever daddy's car move forward after halting, and when he sees aeroplanes flying by from our room's window, he'll point to the aeroplane and say 'vrooomm' as well. Then he creatively changes his way of saying 'vrooomm' to 'brrr brrr brrr' at times. I guessed the funny noise attracts the little guy much, and watching him making all these noises attracts his mummy even more. =)) "

Getting Smart!

Jayden's mummy :- "

24th October 2008 - Tonite was a rainy and cold nite. As usual on tis Friday evening, i went off for aerobics class. Although the weather was cool tonite, i still sweat like crazy and was terribly exhausted. My stamina had worsen so much compared to previously when i was so devoted to modern dance at PowerMoves. Wow... i felt so lack of oxygen during my workout, and after tat i felt terribly sleepy when i climbed in hubby's LandCruiser to drive myself back home. Moreover the weather was rainy and cool and wid the pitter-patter on my windscreen, i felt even drowsier. So on the way home, i took out my handphone and called ngeebang. As usual, ngeebang will make some silly jokes, and wid his laughters accompanying me, i can at least keep myself awake.

When i reached home, i dragged myself to 102. Then i greeted my hubby and my darling son. Jayden was so happy to see me, and as usual he'll crawl over to my legs to greet me. Luckily he didn't insist me to pick him up and give him a hug today, for i was terribly wet from all my sweat. Then i went over to another corner to place my bag and my stuff. When i looked at Jayden, he was standing facing our shelf, and his cute little finger pointing to my bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar while smiling mischieviously at me. Hahahaha... i couldn't help but burst out laughing. I understand immediately wat he was trying to tell me.

I bought this bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar some way back a few months ago to make seakelp pickles. I only needed a little amount of vinegar though, but apple cider are quite expensive and getting the bigger bottle was a better deal. So i bought the bigger bottle of the vinegar and ended up, I have to start drinking it before it's expiry date. I read tat consuming apple cider vinegar can oso help our health in alot of ways such as lowering blood sugar, cholesterol perhaps, maintain weight, and alot more which i couldn't really remember. So I make it a habit to drink a glass of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with Amway's Acerola Cherry everytime after my workout when i reach home. Moreover, my throat owest feel so dry for i must be quite dehyrdrated from all the exercise, and a glass of tangling and refreshing drink definately helps me to cool down before i go and take my bath.

I guess ahDen must be monitoring me for quite some time now, without me realising. He was pointing to my bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar to ask me to start making my usual drink! He is really so, so, so cute! Somemore he was chuckling and giggling at the same time. When i told hubby wat ahDen was trying to tell me, hubby seemed a little unconvinced. So he asked Jayden, "What is ahDen trying to tell mummy?". In response, Jayden point again to the bottle of vinegar and both hubby and I bursted into laughters. Sigh... he is really starting to understand our speech more & more. Besides tat, he oso starts to pick up our daily practices and beginning to understands more.

Another cute encounter happened yesterday. I washed his shoes on Wed noon for it was very dirty now. Then yesterday morning, i brought them out to dry on our balcony, right under the hot sun. When ahDen saw his shoes outside on the balcony, he seemed confused. He must be wondering wat are his shoes doing out there on the balcony. He must had felt funny at the same time, for he was chuckling to himself while looking wide-eyed at his pair of shoes out there under the sun. After a while he went off to play wid his toys. Then i took the opportunity to ask him, trying to test if he understood wat i was saying, "ahDen, WHERE are your SHOES?"

I observed him for awhile, and then he pointed his little finger in the direction of the balcony and point to his shoes on the ground! Hahaha.... so cute! I told hubby wat ahDen juz did, and again hubby asked him the same thing and again he gave us the same response, pointing to his shoes trying to tell us his shoes were out there on the balcony. =))

Tat time i was beaming all over. Deep in my heart, not only did i feel happy bcox my baby is getting smarter day by day, ironically I oso felt a tiny pang of sadness. Knowing tat my baby is growing up day by day, I kinda miss the time when he was juz a little helpless baby, relying so much on me. Those days are bound to be over pretty soon... as a matter of fact, REAL SOON! ;( But of cuz, i need to view all these from the positive aspect. Jayden is growing up fine day by day and yes, although he's venturing into toddlerhood now, he'll forever be my little baby in my eyes! ;)) "

'monkey' in 102

Jayden's mummy :- "

13th October 2008 - Looking after ah Den is really like looking after a monkey. He never stops moving around, never stops playing, never stops to rest once he is awake and the only time he rests is when he is sleeping. Today tis little monkey even learnt how to climb up the chair. First attempt, he didn't succeed. Tat was around noon time, and i'd bathed him so i juz let him play around before giving him his nap. When i saw tat he tried to climb up the chair, i juz let him be, knowing tat he'll never give up trying unless he realised tat it's impossible for him to achieve.

However, tonite amazingly he succeeded in climbing up the chair by his own. His daddy saw it and tot how clever his son is because he can climb up the chair by himself. I told hubby tat ah Den had been trying to do so the whole day, and he oledi had lots of practices until tonite, he finally got wat he wanted, tat was to stand on top of the chair by himself. Wat really attracted him was this very laptop, seated on top of the table, as well as the mouse and the rest of the stuffs we placed on top of the table. He's bored playing wid the rest of the things in the room and now he's aiming for the stuff on top of the table - his 'unreachable' toys!
Wat a 'monkey' my son is! How come my baby is so naughty and so active? Really becoming more & more like monkey! Enjoy watching him demonstrate his climbing skills. "

1st Clip : Jayden polishing his climbing skills around noon time!

2nd Clip : Approximately 9hrs later, he finally succeeded in climbing up the very same chair!

Oct upDates

Jayden's mummy :- "

3rd October 2008 – Today we’ll be flying bek to Kch again. Tmr wil be CheeYong’s big day and we’d promised to be back for his wedding dinner. I oso lost track of count how many times ah Den had flown by air til now. Today ahDen and mummy have Express Boarding so we are among the first to board the AirAsia plane. Knowing tat it’s festive season ~ Raya ~ and the plane wil definitely be packed, we’d spent additional and paid for express boarding so we can save ahDen from the inconsiderate ppl pushing around even though there’s supposed to be a queue. Sigh!

Every time I know tat it’s time to go bek home using AirAsia, my heart starts to worry. Sigh! I really don’t understand why the airline don’t give priority to pregnant ladies and oso mummies carrying babies or toddlers. Sigh! I wonder if it’d ever come across their mind tat carrying a 10kg++ object, and yet ‘fighting’ wid the crowd to get a place in the queue, is really very tiring. Sigh! Why I say ‘fighting’… educated and civilized ppl are abundant nowadays, but whenever u r in the queue to board an AirAsia plane, u suddenly realized there are no longer any educated and civilized Malaysians! Sigh! Really very pathetic!!

Of cuz we got pretty good seats on board today - cox we paid extra. AhDen is really becoming more n more familiar flying by air. He’ll pull out all the magazines and snack menus from the seat pockets in front of him, and today amazingly he tried to turn the lock tat holds the table in place. Hubby and I both think tat he finally realized there’s a table that can be stored when not in used there. Luckily his fingers are still not tat strong yet, or else there’ll be more jobs for daddy and mummy! We bought a packet of Milo for ahDen - RM6, and daddy keep on 'bising'... hahaha - and I gave him a packet of baby rice crackers. Wow… he was really having a good time flying!



Jayden trying to take out a piece of his Baby Bite!


Hmm... Having a nice slurp of Milo!


Putting a piece of rice cracker into his mouth.


Chomp! Chomp! So Yummy!


Feeling full. Burp!


When we reached Kch tat nite, we had light dinner at home before going out to haf dinner wid my mum and sisters. It’s my mum’s birthday today, and luckily we can still make it in time to celebrate with her. My sis ahFang made reservation at Ah Tou Seafood the day before and after dinner we went back to mum’s place to cut her bday cake. Happy Birthday ‘Nye-Ma’!

ahDen's Nye-Ma's bday cake!


Nye-ma wid her granddaughter and grandson!
Look at cute Esther sticking out her tongue!


My mummy wid all of us!



5th October 2008 – On this Sunday nite hubby came back real late for dinner. He was very, very busy til we had dinner at 8.30pm but of cuz I let ahDen had his dinner first. After dinner, we didn’t plan to go out anymore. In the afternoon around 2.30pm, we went over to my sister’s new house at 8th Mile. AhDen had such an enjoyable time there… me too… sis ahMing purposely kept some mooncakes for me to eat when I come back to Kch. Hee! She oso made fruit salads and a nice pot of hot tea for us tat afternoon. Luckily I had a nice & full meal for teatime tat afternoon, or else I definitely wouldn’t be able to wait til 8.30pm for dinner tonite.

While resting at home tonite, ahDen made some really funny sounds. He kept on saying ‘ka ka ka ka ka… “ continuosly and it sounded really cute. So I quickly took out our camera to record it. So cute! Really wonder wat he’s saying. “Ka ka ka ka …”

Take a look at Jayden's "kakaka" video clip.




7th October 2008 – A normal and real bored Tuesday afternoon. Hubby was terribly busy rushing to get his work done b4 we haf to fly bek to KK again, so ahDen and I had no choice but to stay at home. The best place to put ahDen when babysitting him is in our room. Tis is bcox with the closed door, he’ll have limited accessible space. Sigh! As usual I let him played around before giving him his afternoon nap, and seeing him playing by himself can be pretty amusing. In this first clip, he laughed when he saw me pointing the camera towards him, then he got down on the floor, clapped his hands and moved over to look for new things to play with. Hear how he chuckled… really a naughty boy!

1st Clip - ahDen's Mischievous Laughter




Tis 2nd clip ahDen is even cuter. I was watching my normal afternoon video series on tv, so i let ahDen played around by himself. Suddenly he crawled hastily over to the place where the sunlight shone on the floor. With the curtains tied back, the afternoon sun shone right into our room, and it amazed ahDen to see a big yellow patch of sunlight on the floor! He banged on the floor, and tried catching the yellow patch on the floor. I immediately got our camera to record this but when I got back, he wasn’t playing wid the sunlight anymore but he was trying to catch floating tiny dusts in the air. At first I had no idea wat he was doing, but when I sat down beside him and with the sunlight shining in thru the window, you can actually see tiny particles flying around. Hahaha…. ahDen was trying to catch dust in the air! So funny!"


2nd Clip - ah Den playing dust-catching!



Kids are really kids! So naive lor... 'hen tian chen' lor... ;))

TryinG 2 StanD

Jayden's mummy :- "
1st October 2008 - Today is the first day of Hari Raya. On tis public holiday morning, we went out for breakfast wid hubby's fren, ah Pau & his wife. We planned to go visit another fren after our morning breakfast, ShouMing & his wife. His wife had juz underwent in vitro fertilisation, and she needs plenty of rest and cant move around much yet.

These are the bunch of frens we normally mix around here. Today another couple, Daniel & his wife, and of cuz not forgetting their 3mth old baby boy are unable to join us. Ah Pau & his wife will haf a baby boy son soon early Jan next year. So among all of us, hubby & I are still the youngest but our son is the eldest. Seeing ShouMing's wife having to go thru so much in order to haf their own baby, really makes me feel i'm so much more fortunate, although i feel i really underwent alot of sufferings during my pregnancy.

Today at ShouMing's house, Jayden was so happy. I guess most probably it was because he finally has a much spacier and new place to explore. When we placed him down on uncle ShouMing's wooden floor, he was so happy and started chuckling. I kinda like his living room with wooden floor, because it's really a much better place for babies to crawl around. Tiles will be a much colder surface to crawl on, and it owest makes babies hands and feet so cold and chilly.

Jayden held on to the furnitures there and started going around the living room. Then he'll get down on the floor, and crawled beneath the dining table and chairs. Oh My God... wat a little monster. He'll stayed underneath the dining table once in awhile, and chuckled to himself as he sits there looking at the bottom of the table.

We found tat ah Den tried to stand on his own today. When i sat down on the floor, he stood up while holding on to my shoulders for support. Then he slowly let go his hands, and when he found tat he can stand on his own legs without holding onto anything for a few seconds, he was amazed. You can practically see his eyes lit up and a big smile forming across his face, as he laughed loudly at his achievement. We noticed he tried letting go his hands a few times and trying to stand on his own. Hmm... i guess ah Den most probably will start to walk around pretty soon. I wonder if it'll be before 2009. ;)) "

crawling on 4 limbs!

Jayden's mummy :- "
22nd September 2008 -
I hadn't realised cox ah Den had been cruising around lately wid his 2 little legs while holding on furniture for support, and he seldom gets down on the floor to crawl like he used to wid his on his tummy on the floor.

Tonite as usual i went for my aerobics class. When i got home, i straightaway went to shower. Jayden as usual will come looking for me, wanting me to carry and to hug him. I was all wet and sweaty and really don't feel like picking him up. So instead i went straight to take my bath. Tat time, hubby said he saw ah Den crawling really fast, on 4 limbs towards the bathroom door in order to look for me! haha....

Tat nite we had Western meal for dinner. Hubby asked our restaurant chef to prepare lamb chops wid mint sauce, chicken chop wid mushroom sauce, creamy mushroom soup, and we still have half a bottle of red wine which we opened the day before, just perfect to go wid our lovely dinner. How wonderful... the bottle of red wine was a gift from a friend and the wine was really so heavenly... i really enjoy drinking wine so much! Yummy...

I fed ah Den wid his dinner and when he's full, he wanted to get down from his baby chair so tat he can walk around by himself. Since it's our own restaurant at Casuarina, we put him down so tat he can venture around by himself. He was holding onto the chairs there and starts to cruise around. I was enjoying my dinner, and cutting my lamb chops slowly wid my fork & knife, when ah Den suddenly squat down on the floor, and wid his hands and knees on the floor, he crawled as fast as he could, as if making an escape from the restaurant, crawling wid all his might towards the entrance of the restaurant, heading towards our hotel lobby! Tat time it didn't come across my mind tat he was crawling on 4 limbs... no wonder he can crawl so fast in his attempt to escape from us. All i had in my mind then was to chase him back and to finish my lovely dinner. =)

I guess now tat he knows he can crawl faster on 4 limbs, he definately will not crawl wid his tummy on the floor again like previously. Now he can crawls faster than he used to, tat mean i'll haf to chase him faster next time! "
