I feed myself…
On Friday, she wanted to feed herself dinner (rice & bayam soup - with some sotong balls & crab meat). So Mommy give it a try and let her do it, of course Mommy holds her hand, so that she can aim correctly. Surprisingly, she’s very Happy (claps her own hand) and we manage to finish the whole bowl without juggle at ALL!!! Bravo….
I sort the shape…
On Saturday, as usual she was playing with her wooden bus cum shape sorter. And out of a sudden, she picked up the round shape, and slotted in correctly!!! Whoaa….Mommy so amazed lah…quickly went to grab the camera and snap photos. After that, she repeated the stint again & again (claps her own hand everytime she did it). Then she took a square, and again she slot it into the correct shape. Clever girl. Daddy & Mommy watch and amazed. But Daddy was jealous, he said when he was her age, he can recite poem wohhh……Yah, maybe in his dreams
I speak human language…
Yes…and her first word is ball. Akakakakaka…Mommy caught her first word when she’s at home, didn’t miss her precious milestone. Now when she sees ball, she will point and say ball. She does a lot of pointing to other things too, but utter some baby language. Things that belongs to Daddy, she will point and say “Teh dee ta ter dunno what*
Now lets talk about poo haha…
Sometimes we are quick enough to catch her, and she does her biz in the potty or toilet bowl. BRAVO!!!
Sometimes we are slow, she had already poo in her diaper.
But this morning is certainly classic!!
Some boring post, read on if you have time
HISTORY
It all started from the old house we used to stay. We made an aquarium as a replacement of the wall. So when you enter the house, on the left side, you can see thru to the other side (the fridge). Most of our guest finds it intriguing and something special. We started our first batch of raring fish with Goldfish. They all look so cute and nice, but high maintenance fish. And the thing with Goldfish, they are very sensitive with water. If not right, they will fall sick. All sorts of sickness from white spots, torn tails and dunno what else. And the worse is it spreads from one to another!!! We started with 9, in the end all died..wohoohoo..*RIP PRAYERS*.
So after the batch of goldfish, we put in some carps there…just for stabilizing the water. But carps are no good for aquarium, they all look so ugly hehe…and they attempt to jump out of it too!! After a while, we decide not to put carps.
Oh..by the way, other than having an aquarium between the wall, we had a 6×4 ft tank in our balcony back then. That’s where all the carps reside. Daddy’s favourite fish. So whenever we buy new carps, they will go into the transit aquarium first, after they are considered *healthcheck pass*, they will be transferred into the carp tank.
After the carps, we decided to rare parrot fish. Parrot fish are very cute. They’ve got chubby cheeks and their mouth is like a heart shape hahaha….And if you are lucky, you can see them kissing each other sometimes
Other than the aquarium & tank, we also have a pot full of mollies, where we have some water lilies there as well.
NOW
When we moved, we migrated all the fishes. yes all of them!!! We actually transfer them in batches in pails and move them from old house to new house. Thank god the distance is not far, or else we would have resorted into putting them to sleep.

We added more fish into the family apart from the parrot and carps. Daddy initially bought 4 arowanas (cheap - mid range rate - most expensive is about 200). They came in different colour, one silver, one gold, one RTG (red tail gold) and one dunno what colour, looks like green to me. They were all same size and all in the same side of the tank (1 side for parrot, 1 side for arowana). Then they started to fight with each other, so they got separated, each side 2 arowana.
Surprisingly, arowana don’t dare to attack the parrots cause they are dominant fishes too. When Daddy went to China last year, one of it died (the cheap one). Pheww….luckily that was not his favourite. So we were left with 3. The silver one wasn’t doing well as well, so we moved it to our old house (that time MIL was staying there temporarily while her house got renovated).
So now only left 2 big arowana. They are growing more and more beautiful each day…especially when we put on different colour lights (blue, red or white), you can see the scales are so nicely defined. OOppss…can’t see any numbers yet to buy 4D though. They have blended in pretty well with the parrots and some cheapo lampan. So one side of the aquarium, you’ll see arowana with parrot, the other side is arowana with lampan.
What do they feed on? That’s the high maintenance. Arowana doesn’t take pallets like other fishes. They are carnivores. Try putting your finger in, chances are they might just attempt to bite it off if they are seriously hungry.
So here’s what we’ve got for them: Crickets & Frogs. Sometimes we buy worms as well. Faythe is very much aware of the additional residents in our house.
Every kid loves the phone. Wonder why? Be it pressing the button, lifting the handset or just mere listening to the phone tunes.


weii….may I speak to grandma?
Photos taken in March, aircond remote phone

ehh…no sound one

tit..tiit…titt…dial the number first

aiyo..no dialtone still…cheh, this not a phone lah Mommy
Suddenly Mommy had this crazy idea. I opened up the zipper, and the pillow became a big blanket. This is actually a travelling pillow+blanket, when it’s zipped up, it serves as pillow, when it’s not, it serves as a blanket.
So after that, I started flipping the blanket in the air and Faythe got so excited…but because the blanket was quite big for her, she couldn’t do it herself.
Guess what lazy pregnant Mommy did. I built her a temporary house (only roof lah, no doors/windows) with 2 rattan chairs and 4 clothes peg!!!
And Faythe enjoyed playing *IN* her house for the next 15-30 mins. She was practically amazed with the roof..hahahaha…and walking in and out of her house :P. Even pose for photo for Mommy.



Taking her wooden bus and play in her new house…So syioklah, wish I could join her too

Posing for Mommy with her *O* shape mouth, reading her book outside her house.
So here’s what Mommy been baking for dinner @ home. As for Daddy, he still show his OK face!! Everytime I ask him, he would just answer…OK lah…that’s all his comment on the food *kik sum*. But I can see that at least he’s more willing to eat my food haha….

There are a few more hall of fame, didn’t took pics though :p

So we decide to go Penang, for Cheng Beng as well as for food and spending time together. 3 adults (incl. MIL), 1 baby, left KL at 5am in the morning. Faythe was asleep half the journey to Penang, then she woke up and was pretty hungry by the time we arrived Penang @ 9am. First stop for food was Kueh Teow soup at ermm..god knows where. MIL is very familiar with Penang since she’s local there, so finding the place is not an issue. We also had Lobak (yum yum) for breakfast.
Then we went to MIL’s auntie’s house in Pulau Tikus to pay them a visit. Spent our morning there till lunch time. Faythe was having fun time there, roaming around the new place but was tired by 11am+, so Mommy put her to sleep and we had our lunch, Mee rebus from another place (hubby’s cousin tapau). We left to check-in to hotel about 12+, staying at Northam. Very nice hotel, it comes with a jacuzzi hehehe…so Faythe enjoyed her first bubble bath!!.
After check-in and shower, we waited for my brother to come over, we left @ 2pm went to Chowrasta to buy salted fish. MIL bought so many salted fish, whole boot filled with it. Then we went to Sua Tow Lane for tea. Had some ice kacang, char kueh teow as well as curry laksa. Don’t really fancy the Laksa though, it’s less *santan* in Penang. Then we went back to hotel to take a nap before we head for dinner @ Lorong Selamat. It was pork porridge. Yum yum…And we ordered the famous Fried Oyster (oh-chien). So much of oysters lah!!! And Daddy ordered some *chut tan* and ermm..got knows what shell is that. Not forgetting the yummy Umbra drink. Mommy had 3 cups, some gave to Faythe.
Next we went to MIL’s auntie’s house again..a lot of chit chatting going on. Faythe as usual, since this her 2nd time there, becomes her ownself and was very happy playing with the piano, writing by herself and playing with Mommy.

Next day morning, we went to Pulau Tikus for breakfast. They’ve got yummy Mee Goreng Mamak there. My brother introduced us to try the food. We also ordered some Curry Laksa (again!!) and Nasi Lemak Penang Style. Then we went to the different graves for Cheng Beng. It was an easy ritual since we are Christians. Just get some flowers and put it on the grave, that’s it. Very fast LOL. Myself and Faythe skipped 2 of the graves as they say pregnant *pantang*. So we stayed back in the car to wait for Daddy & MIL.
Then we went lunch @ Jalan Bahari (I think). Teochew food, pretty nice too..didn’t take photo, was too hungry hahaha…After that, Faythe took a trishaw ride with MIL and she was so tired, she fell asleep after the ride started just 5 mins!!. We went back to hotel, Daddy and MIL went to buy tea, so Mommy and Faythe in hotel. Faythe refused to sleep and she was hungry. Fed her with a pau and some milk while Mommy watch National Geographic. Then gave her a quick shower.

Earlier, Daddy bought her a stick from the market @ Pulau Tikus, so she was playing with it, like a Shaolin kid. Daddy and MIL came back around 4pm, and the next plan was swimming!! Daddy’s cousin came over too with 2 of her kids. They all went swimming. The swimming pool has a very nice beach view of Penang. Mommy busy snapping photos, Faythe busy getting up and down the pool. At first she was pretty afraid, and it was cold too. But after a while, she got warmed up. She even decide to go without float!!! SO daring. Of course we didn’t allow, since it’s an adult pool.

After swimming, we all went to SOHO for their sheperd pie. SOHO is nearby Cititel. Their lamb sheperd pie is yummy, the chicken taste a bit sour though. Daddy says is like that wohh…After dinner, MIL went to get some stuff with Daddy’s cousin, whilst we went to Gurney Plaza with Mommy’s brother and gf. Nothing much there, just another shopping mall. There were Aussino sales, Mommy managed to grab 2 fitted seats for the price of RM29.90 each haha…then we went to Tower Records to have a look at CDs, Faythe was so busy posing for Mommy’s brother to take photo. Aiyo so hiao lahh..Must get those pics from him later on.
Then we bought a mini blueberry cheese cake for Daddy, since it’s his birthday on Monday. We ate the cake on Sunday night, couldn’t wait hehehe…Faythe had her fair share of course. She also had the leftover chilled cake on the next day :).
Before we head back to KL, we went Pulau Tikus again for breakfast, but this time it’s a different shop. MIL and Daddy had *prawn paste* chu cheong fun. Yucks!! I can’t imagine eating that, tasted once and it’s real weird!! Then we bought some nasi lemak and ate over at MIL’s auntie’s house (last time paying her a visit) before we leave. We left Penang about 11am+. Faythe was so tired, she slept as soon as we start the car engine.
We stopped by at one of the Plus R&R and she woke up, she’s hungry. Gave her some Milo since we didn’t have any warm water to make milk. Then gave her some chocolates too..after that she fell asleep, right up to our doorstep.
Finally arrived in KL @ 3pm.

We went dinner with the family at night @ Paris Restaurant SS2. Ordered *Sau Mien* since it’s Daddy’s birthday. After dinner we went home, all so tired, luckily next day not working hehe…As for Faythe…Oopss..what happened to her? Bandage on the cheek and forehead :P.
Actually it’s nothing lahh…Daddy was playing with her, so stick some plaster on her forehead and cheek and tell her pain pain…she looked at the mirror and gave us a weird look, but didn’t dare to touch her face et all hahaha…..
As usual, Mommy and Daddy had a good laugh at it, esp. Mommy.
From the trip, we also found out that Faythe now understand more things that we say. When we were @ SOHO, she was so active and didn’t wanna sit down, Daddy beat her hand. She cried out so loud, after that just sat quitely and eat up the green peas.
At night when we ask her who beat, she pointed Daddy. when we ask her where pain, she pointed her hand. After that we ask her, cake nice or not, she knodded to show agree. But when we ask, Daddy sayang or not, she shook her head hahaha…still can remember Daddy beat her hand I guess
