Day 2 in KL and back to Penang

You waked us up around 7:30am. Oh…mummy want to sleep more..and you keep waking me up and pull me up from the bed, so no choice, I have to wake up, and at the same time, I wake daddy up too!! Need to be fair, right? Since we wake up, so daddy need to wake up too!! HAHA! After that, you lead me to the connecting door, want me to open it for you. Once I open the door, you pushed the other door and you walked into ah kong and ah ma’s room and keep calling them!! Both of them actually wake up earlier than you, haha!

So quickly we went down for breakfast and you enjoy the food though. You had 2 rounds of small bowl of porridge! After that, you asked ah kong to carry you by the brasserie’s window to see LRT. Poor Ah Kong has to gobble his food then bring you to the window to see LRT. We moved your high chair to the window but…you prefer to sit on ah kong’s shoulder. Little bully huh!

After breakfast, we went back to our room, wanted to let you have your morning nap, but you refused to sleep, keep running around in the room. Initially we wanted to have lunch buffer in hotel’s brasserie before heading to 1 Utama. But because all of us still feel full from morning’s breakfast, so we decided to make a move to 1 Utama and have our lunch there.

You seems quite corporate in the car until about 20 mins later, you started to make noise. You are sleepy and “crave” for milk. So daddy and mummy need to keep talking to you to divert your attention. As soon as we reached 1 Utama, daddy get some warm water to make milk for you. After milk, you become you again, super energetic. And you saw some kids passby with balloons and you kept telling ah kong “baboon!”. Poor Ah Kong need to hunt for balloon for you. Ah Kong asked one of the parents and the daddy told ah kong he gets the balloon from the other end of the mall. So Ah Kong carry you all the way from one end to another end to get a “baboon” for you. When you guys reached there, no more balloon, but there is one at the DJ table, in fact, lots of parents eye-ing at the last balloon, and ah kong approached the DJ asked for it. The DJ gave it to you and you even “hi 5!” with him and wave happily with the “baboon.” Daddy and mummy went to the noddle house for lunch and apparently the food not as nice as before, so disappointed. After lunch, daddy, mummy and ah ma went for retail therapy while ah kong look after you. Too bad,no sales and nothing much to buy, so mummy had a quick walk and decided to look for you. Guess what, when we found you and ah kong, both of you are in Jusco and ah kong is pushing you in the shopping cart. Ah Kong said this is the only way to keep you entertained! HAHA!

After we meet up with Ah ma, we decided to leave KL. You asked for milk again and when we left 1 Utama, you doze off in the car. You slept for close to 1 hr and wake up. Guess what happen then…..nightmare for everyone! You started to cry for a short while then later throw out all milk. You throw out on daddy’s pants. Poor us, we have to bear with the smell until Tapah rest area. We washed you at the rest area, let you walked for a while, and before we started the journey, you throw out again. Oh oh, something not right! And you complained ah kong’s car smelly and keep telling us “Throw car! Throw car!” I lost count how many times you throw out before we reached Ipoh town. Basically you throw out all milk and you keep ask for water. However, after a while, you will throw out all water. Pity you.
We went to Ipoh for dinner, and we order plain porridge for you. You must be very hungry and you ate the porridge. Mummy feed you slowly and you throw out the porridge few times, but this doesn’t stop you from continue eating it. Poor little boy!

We headed back to Penang after the dinner, and when we reached Bukit Merah, mummy called Dr Tan, wanted to send you to ER for him to check. And through phone, he told me that you may have food poisoning, and he asked me to let you take motilium and monitor you. As soon as I put down the phone, you asked for milk. We dare not let you take any milk in the car, afraid you may throw out again. And mummy have to lie to you, telling you we are running out of milk powder. And as soon as I told you so, you replied me “pa pa”, indicating daddy to go buy milk powder for you. Geez, my heart sank when I heard you say so. Mummy sign song and pat you and luckily you fall asleep in daddy’s arm. You kept waking up ask for milk and mummy kept assuring you that I will give u milk as soon as we reached home.

Finally, we reached home. Dr Tan said give you 1 or 2 oz milk, and mummy actually gave you 3 oz. And very fast, you finish the milk and ask for more! And we waited for 15 mins before give u another 3 oz. After that you showed us sleepy sign and we brought you to the room and you ask for milk again. So another 4 oz for you. You drank the milk happily and no throw out and we were so happy. However, around 30 mins later, you throw out the milk. Sigh….we are not suppose to give u so much of milk, but you kept ask for it with your pitiful look. The many many round of throw out seems do effect on you, you kept ask for milk. So daddy took the risk to give you some and pat you to sleep. Luckily no more throw out and you even ask for milk middle of the nite…phew, what a relief!

Day 1 in KL

We left the house around 6:00am in Ah Kong’s car. Ah Kong is the driver of the day!

We let you sat in your car seat and you quite excited and sit in the car seat nicely. Deep in my heart, I don’t feel excited when seeing you sit in your car seat without any protest. It’s just a matter of time u will shout and ask us to let you come out from the car seat. Since the sky is still dark, so there isn’t anything for you to see, and you asked for milk, mummy let you take your milk and you didn’t finish the entire 9oz of milk, you drank for about 3 oz then passed the bottle to me. Then you started to ask for help to get you out from the car seat.

We stopped by Sg Perak rest area as we know you will feel bored sitting in the car for so long….then after that we stopped by Ipoh for breakfast. After breakfast we continue our journey to KL. And when we were at Tapah rest area, mummy thought of getting myself a pack of guava, when you see me eating guava, you quickly ask from me. Mummy gave you one piece and you giggle and enjoy eating it. We stop by couple of rest area to let you refreshed until i lost count how many times we stopped.

Finally we reached hotel around 11:35am, after 5 hr 35 mins drive, consider good! Mummy and daddy proceed to do the check in and we asked for link room. To our surprise, the duty manager offer us a free upgrade to Deluxe room. Cool !!! Guess how to keep you etertained? Let you walk around the hotel lobby and you are exploring every corner of the hotel.

We only able to get into the room around 12:30pm since we need to let the housekeeping lady to tidy up the room for us. As soon as we get into our room, you gets so excited, keep running around in the room. We quickly bath you and went down to the brassiere for lunch buffet.

Mummy took you some cauliflower and spaghetti, but you don’t seems enjoying both. When I tried on it, I realsied the cauliflower not soft enough for you, and the spaghetti is not as tasty as the one u used to eat in PSC. So mummy let you mess around while I enjoy my lunch. Halfway,while we were busy eating , you started to make noise. Time to sleep as you didn’t take your morning nap in the car. You kept asking ah kong to bring you to see the LRT train from the brassiere’s window. So ah kong quickly had his lunch and bring you out for a short walk meanwhile mummy and ah ma has few more rounds of food! YEAH!!

We went back to the room and I let you take your favourite “MILK!!”

and since ah ma is in our room and you kept playing with her even though u are very tired. So mummy has to “kick” ah ma back to her room and guess what, WITHIN 5 SECONDS, you doze off!!! You slept for around 1 hr then wake up, since ah ma sleep near to you and mummy sleep quite a distance from you, so when you look around, you didn’t notice me and you thought mummy is not around and you started to cry. Poor boy! After mummy hug you in my arm, you doze off again, until 1 hr later, wake up and cry again. This time, we didn’t pat you to sleep, we wake you up instead as we afraid if you sleep too much, we may end up counting star at night.

Initially daddy will have dinner with his friends and we will have dinner with ah kong’s friend, however, later, daddy decided to have dinner with us. YIPPIE!! With daddy around, means i can enjoy my dinner more peaceful.Daddy came back around 5:30pm, then we quickly take shower and off we went to The Mall for a quick shopping. It’s really a quick shopping since there isn’t anything to buy there! Mummy feel hungry and we decided to have a simple dinner at the food court meanwhile ah kong and ah ma accompany you walk around. Then we decided to go back to hotel lobby to wait for ah kong’s friend.

Ah kong’s friend pick us up around 7:30pm, and we went to Hokkaido for dinner……Yes..Hokkaido….not Hokkaido in Japan, but Hokkaido seafood restaurant! Hahaha! We, including you enjoy the dinner so much! And since our hotel is next to LRT station and at the same time there is LRT station nearby the restaurant, so we decided to let you try on riding the LRT since every time you saw LRT from the hotel window, you feel excited!

You seems excited when we were in the LRT.

You even told us the LRT’s sound is “choooooooo”. There is only one stop from the restaurant to our hotel. And as soon as we get back to the room, we change you into your pajamas and tug you to the bed. Before that, mummy let you stand on the bed and enjoy the KL night view. You keep saying “deng” (light). Daddy said better don’t let you see for too long else every night you will request him to carry you by the window to see night view. HAHAHA! As soon as we put you on the bed, do the routine job which is story telling and sing song, very fast, you doze off. Must be very tired! And daddy and mummy also go into our dreamland at the same time.

Our initial plan is to bring you to Aquaria in KLCC, but since you slept from 3 til 5pm, and we have dinner appointment at 7:30pm, so no chance to go to KLCC. Anyhow, I do enjoy our day 1 in KL even though we only spend time in hotel!

That’s all for our day 1.

Going to KL

Tomorrow, we are going to KL, an amazing race for all of us. We went to KL when you were 5 mths old by plane, and this time, you are 18 mths old and we are going to KL by CAR!! Daddy needs to attend a meeting at KL on Friday and since he has a free stay at The Legend Hotel, so mummy decided to take this challenge to get your dear ah kong to drive us down to KL. Ah Kong very excited and accept the offer IMMEDIATELY daddy talked to him.

Our plan is to leave Penang around 6:30am tomorrow, have our breakfast at Ipoh, (don't ask me where is the place, i just know what i plan to order for breakfast. The place is somewhere nearby to the curry chicken bun shop) then we will continue our journey to KL. We need to eat heavy breakfast because mummy expects an active baby walking and jumping in the car, so i need lots of energy to entertain you.

Since we may not be able to check in at 2pm, so mummy plan to have a quick shopping at The Mall once we reached there. And i doubt there is much thing for me to shop, haha!

Hopefully we can reach KL in 5 hrs time. So hope that daddy will have more and more seminars in future, then we can go holiday again!!

Another surprise for mummy

I must jot this down....you gave mummy another surprises last night when i tuck you to bed. As mummy already finished re-cap what happened on the day to you, and yet you still refuse to sleep, so mummy try my luck with One, Two, Buckle my shoe instead of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Our version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Mummy :Like a diamond in the

surprise me! Another achievement!

Friday when we picked u up, Ms Goh told me that you are able to recognize some word from the story book that she used to read to you. According to her, you are able to point to the following word when she asked you to do so.

Dog
Jane
And
Shop

With doubt, at home, mummy wrote those word on paper, and to my surprise, when I point to those word, you able to read it out to me….it’s really AMAZING!
You read,
Dog sound like dok
Jane sounds like Jen
And = and
Shop sounds like sop

Dehdi....Mimi...and my manja baby boy

Since Wed, you started to call daddy as dehdi..u will call him in your most manja-est voice. Heard also shivering! You like to call dehdi out of sudden and when he doesn’t respond to you, you will raise your voice and call dehdi louder. However, you will still call dehdi as papa most of the time.

When mummy asked you to call me mummy, you will only call once in a while, mahmi, or mimi. And so co-incident, our dog’s name also Mimi, so I wonder you are calling me or Mimi. Uncle KT suggested that we should change Mimi’s name to something else. Hahaha!

Little cheeky of mine

Yesterday evening, uncle Randy came to ah kong’s house to fix the PC as the PC at home striked by lighting on Wednesday night. When you saw uncle Randy walked into the house, you stopped playing with your toy and instead, want daddy to bring u to the second living room to see what ah kong and uncle Randy are doing there.

As daddy busy watching his favourite movie, Mummy then brought you to the second living room and we both sat at the stairs looking at what those 2 guys are doing. Then later, mummy brought you to the kitchen, passed you a pack of drink and asked you to give it to uncle Randy. Happily, you brought the drink to uncle Randy and kept asking him to have the drink, haha!

You were busy walking around and you decided to push the chair around. Mummy told you if you don’t well behave, uncle Randy will angry and scold you. Uncle Randy showed you his angry face, and guess what, you showed him back your angry face! HAHAHA! What a naughty boy!

After a while, you feel that it’s time to go home, so you walked to the kitchen, says bye bye to your fishes and also say bye bye to uncle Randy. And lastly, not forgetting to show uncle Randy your cheeky face! LOL!

Your new pet - little fishes

Ever since we brought back the 3 fishes with us from the family day event, nowadays everyday when you reached Ah Kong's house, you will go to say "Hi" to your little fishes, and not forgetting to wave "bye bye" with them when it's time to go home.

However, one of the fishes dies on Monday, and luckily, you are still too young to calculate number of fishes left over. As long as there is fish in the container, you are very happy! Now i understand why lots of people say "childhood is the most happiness moment in the life!"

Initially, Daddy think of getting some fishes for you when we move into our house end of this year, but his idea get rejected by mummy. We won't have that much of time to take care the fish. Sorry, my dear. You can have your own fish when you know how to take care them when you grow up. Mummy will get you a fish tank then, ok?

Excuses from a lazy mom

I realized that nowadays I seldom take pics for you. One of the reason is it’s getting harder and harder to snap your pic as you are moving too fast, mummy’s lousy camera cannot cope with your speed. **hint hint to daddy to get me a better camera**

And another reason is, whenever you see me holding camera, you will insist me to pass the camera to you. You want to play with it instead of letting me snap your pics.

Ok ok , I will try my best to take as much pics as possible. When mummy look back at your pics, I feel so happy to have you come into our life! You are our sunshine, our joy, and of course, along the way, you give us lots of surprises, happiness, sadness, worriness…etc. But at the end, all sacrifices are worthy!

Your FIRST D'Monte Family Day

Today is your FIRST D'Monte Family. Friday, on our way to see the Chinese physician, Ms Goh keep reminding mummy to bring you to Youth Park for the family day event.

In fact, you wake up pretty early on Sunday, however, daddy and mummy decided to laze for a while, so we only get up around 8am. Since daddy want to go for jogging before heading to Youth Park, so we accompany daddy to the park nearby our house. While daddy had his jogging, mummy accompany you playing the slide and swing at the park. The weather is quite cooling, so there is few kids playing at the playground. We played for a while until daddy come to join us. Then, we went back to pur apt for quick bath before going for breakfast then Youth Park.

We were struggling where to go for breakfast and mummy forgot that Ah Kong promised will buy us Lor Mee from Perak Road for this week breaskfast. Luckily Ah Kong called us before we headed for our breakfast. So we drop by Ah Kong' s place for breakfast then headed to Youth Park.

We reached Youth Park around 10:30am, and lots of people start to leave the place. Thank GOD, then we manage to get a nice parking spot pretty easy. The family day event is from 8:30am til 11am, so still have quite lots of kids at the event area. When mummy walked with you to the venue of the event, mummy keep looking for Ms Goh or Uncle James. Mummy saw Ms Goh and while mummy still looking for Uncle James, here come Uncle James waling towards us. You seems a bit confuse seeing so many people and you tend to stick to daddy, mummy, Ms Goh or uncle James. Daddy busy chit chat with uncle James, mummy and Ms Goh take care you. Thank goodness, i have Ms Goh helping me to carry you around.

There is a small pond whereby there is lots of fishes in it. It's part of the activities for the kids. Lots of kids "fishing" in the small pond, and you seems very interested with the fish! We decided to get you some fishes and you were so excited when mummy gave you 3 fishes in a plastic bag!

We stayed at Youth Park til end of the event, and you happily wave bye bye with Ms Goh and Uncle James. Not forgetting to give goodbye kiss to them!

When we get home, you showed your fishes to everyone excitedly. And when mummy ask you what you want to feed your fish, you point to your porridge, HAHAHA! Feeding porridge to your fish!

**Will post the pics later**

Getting better!

After 2 visits to the Chinese physician on Wed (4/9) and Friday(4/11) , finally, during the weekend, your leg seems better. You seems able to walk better and better. And your action can tell the outcome of the massage. You run and jump happily over the weekend. Make mummy feel much much better.

BIG THANK YOU to Uncle James and Ms Goh for their great help for bringing us to see the Chinese physician and both of them take the effort to drive us all the way to town for the massage despite of the heavy traffic on Friday.

Good job baby!

After some effort, finally you able to say A-Z and 1-10 after us.

When mummy said "I", you will point your eyes, as you heard it as "eye" instead of "I" and when i said "T", you will show me your teeth instead of following me say "T". You will be able to relate the alphabet to some word, such as:-
a- apple
b- ball or baby
c- car
u-uncle, but you will say it as kel, this is your version of calling uncle

As for number, when mummy said 1, you will follow by 2, but, sometimes you will straight go to 10!! You still cannot say out 7 properly.

I guess i need to admit, time flies, you no longer baby. You are 1.5 years old toddler now. And you started to communicate with us in your own baby language.

Happy 1.5 years old!

What is 7th Apr 2008 mean to you? Actually nothing special, however, this is the day where you are 1.5 years old! Same for Aurelia. Both you and Aurelia born on the same day, and in fact, Aurelia is your jie jie as she's born few hours earlier than you.

Today, when mummy come to work, i put this message " Aurelia and Kelvin are 1.5 yrs old today!!!!" as my yahoo messenger statue, and guess what, i received all sorts of message from friends.
Some said "Happy Birthday, Kelvin!" huh?? Happy Birthday???? No no, i am saying my little one is 1.5 yrs old, not saying today is his birthday
Some said , "who is Aurelia?" Mummy tempted to tell them, Aurelia is Kelvin's long lost twins!

And Aurelia's daddy, Uncle KT also put some wishes to his yahoo messenger status too. And he also received all sorts of funny question from friends!

All the while, mummy very lazy to jot down the your milestone for you. So for this round, no exception, no milestone tracking for you too! HAHAHA! Coz mummy very lazy to recall all the progress of yours. Mummy don't ask for a super smart kid, i just want you to be happy and healthy! And remember, you are always baby to me!

I missed the time i carry you in my arm.
I missed the time we spend together, just me and you when i breastfeeding you.
I missed the time when you ask me to cuddle you. And nowadays on and off you will ask for cuddle.
I missed the time seeing your crawling , strolling around...

Time flies. You are able to walk and run all by yourself and even can give instruction to us.

Again, Happy 1.5 years old to you, my baby Kelvin and also same goes to Aurelia. May both of you happy happy happy happy EVERYDAY!

Not much improvement

Monday, we decided to bring you see Dr Tan again as you were pretty cranky on Sunday night when we change your diaper for you. You cried and no matter how we comfort you , you seems not happy. So the whole night daddy and mummy don’t get a good night sleep as we feel worry on your legs, afraid the pain could make you feel uneasy.

Tuesday, mummy drive to work early while daddy stay at home taking care you and wait for ah ma to pick you guys up to go to hospital for ultrasound, xray and blood test. Gosh, mummy really cannot concentrate at work, keep calling daddy. I can’t imagine, such a small kid needs to go thru all the pain, ultrasound, xray …..my heart really sank when doc told me you need to go for all these checking. Feel so guilty for unable to be with you while you go through all these checking. Heard from daddy that you cried throughout the procedure. I guess if mummy is there, I will for sure be crying together with you.

Mummy’s meeting end close to 1pm, and quickly I packed my thing and went to pick up your lunch from school and with top speed deliver it to you. And guess what, I forgot to bring along my driving license and there is road block at the corner after Tesco, luckily the police didn’t stop mummy. The parking lot in the hospital is so full and I need to wait for parking space. After I parked the car, mummy quickly walked to where you are. Since the hospital is full, so they temporary let you stay in temporary ward. When I came out from the lift, from far, I saw ah kong carrying you walking around the corridor area. When you see me, you wave with me happily. When I see you smile so happy, I feel so much relief.

You refused to take your nap and keep want to play even though you look tired. Finally, Dr Tang came around 3:30pm and after reviewing your ultrasound and x-ray result, he told us you are having transient synovitis. And since nothing much can be done, so mummy asked for home leave. Before we leave the hospital, we went to see Dr Tan.

On the way back, you played with your toy and suddenly I turn your head to the left, and within 0.5 sec, doze off!!! Mummy and daddy so puzzled when we see that as you NEVER want to sleep in your car seat no matter how tired you are. So I bet you must be EXTREMELY tired huh! When we reached Ah Kong’s house, the dog wakes you up but mummy asked you to continue to sleep, and again you continue to sleep in your car seat. Daddy has to carry the whole car seat down and initially we want to let you sleep in your car seat, but second thought, better to let you sleep at proper position rather at sitting position. So, here come a crankly baby when we move you out from car seat into your cradle. But very fast , you continue to your ZZZzzz land.
