First day to school

Today is Mei Mei first day to school. Both of the girls are so excited to go to school together. On the way, Jie Jie remind Mei Mei that if she want to go to toilet, she have to say:" teacher, may I go to toilet please..." and also remind her on some other things that she need to do at school. When reached school, I dropped them off just like I dropped Jie Jie, I didn't park my car and bring them in as I want Mei Mei to get used to the way we are. Jie Jie send her to her class but after Jie Jie left, she cry and want her Jie Jie to accompany her. At the end, Jie Jie skip her class and accompany her the whole morning till papa go and pick up both of them.

Christmas Eve

Today is christmas eve, we have a christmas party at home. Both the girls had a lot of fun meeting with their cousin and friends and a good time for the adults to catch up with each others.

搓汤圆

明天就是冬至了，冬至就要吃汤圆，吃了汤圆大一岁，希望我的两个小瓜大一岁了会乖一些。今年打算一家人一起来搓汤圆，让孩子感觉一下搓汤圆和团圆的乐趣。

可是呢，我这个懒妈妈，不懂那里可以买到糯米粉，也没时间去买，所以呢要我的伟大妈妈为我准备糯米粉，我们只负责搓和煮糖水，够容易了吧！

2. It need to deep inside the water for an hour.
3. After 6th days, the hair start growing, but not much.
4. Today is the 9th days, you can see the hair grow more and more for the man who close his arm. But the other man only have little :)

Strawberry picking

We keep our promise to the girls that we will bring them to Cameron Highland for strawberry picking... and yes, we did it last weekend.

Papa and Kaitlyn picked 2 trays of strawberries which is about 1 kg.. Jie Jie know how to choose the red,big and ripe one, keeps pointing to papa which one to picked. For my Mei Mei, as she likes green, so she want us to pick the green one instead.


Kaitlyn wants to share those strawberry with her teachers, Ah Kong, Popo.. Cho Cho.. oh... so many people, so mama suggest to go for another round of picking but Papa said is too late so mama have to get another big box from the market.

Kool Fever

Both of me and hubby are so silly and careless for such a long year.. we use the kool fever incorrectly. We never remove the transparent film when apply to our girls, no wonder it can't fix firmly on their forehead, until today Kait Yee have a fever and we put a sheet for her but again it keeps dropping, so we ask her to hold it herself, can you imagine a sick girl holding the sheet.. looks very pity, I just wondering why it can't stick on her forehead like others. Normally if my girl sick, I don't use Kool Fever, I use wet hanky and wipe off the body heat instead because I think Cool Fever is not user friendly. Until just now Ah Mah see how come it is not sticky,and take a look on the sheet, only she realised that the transparent sheet was not removed and told as it need to removed else how can it fix. What a good laugh we had this evening. Shame on me!!

This picture is like Mei Mei telling us, Mama.. see this is the correct way to stick the Cool Fever... no drop!

My darling dress

These dress was perfect for my 2 little girls because they like to dress like a girly girl, especially Kaitlyn. I can't wait to bring them home from the shop today. As compare to the price from website, it is cheaper. Somemore I can let them try it on. The bottom is like a dance tutu and so cute to see them twirled and twirled to make the ruffles fly.

我们的第一棵圣诞树

这是我们的第一棵圣诞树，因为隔壁家有一棵好大好美的圣诞树，所以Kaitlyn也要一棵。虽然我家的那一棵小了很多，但它是我们用爱心制造出来的。

Rapunzel the tangled tales

Rapunzel is one of Kaitlyn favourite fairy tales, and it is showing in cinema, I plan to bring her to watch in cinema, already date her on this saturday, just me and her :)

This set of 56 pcs puzzles is given by Helen. Kaitlyn can't wait to fix it yesterday.

今年，Kaitlyn只拿了一个学业优异奖，前两年，还多拿了好宝宝奖。嗨。。。我的女儿不再是好宝宝啦因为爱讲话。
他和他的同班同学，再1年，都上小学了，问了其他的父母，他们的孩子都会读中华三校。。。没有光华的，因为他们都住Inderahwasih 的 :)

Look alike meter

Who Kaitlyn and Kait Yee resembles more, haha.. from the result, both the girls look likes me...but I don't think it is accurate as most of the comments I get is Kaitlyn look alikes hubby.

剪头发

姐姐和妹妹的头发都长了，长得有点乱，尤其是姐姐的。所以，决定带她们去剪发，就选了靠近家的一间理发院，心想应该不贵，因为它的店不是很美，哈哈！！一进去就问，剪个小孩头要多少，漂亮的姐姐告诉我，前面3元，全头8元。。好贵，早知，就自己剪好了.

错失了弟子规的结业典礼，可惜！

昨天是弟子规的结业典礼，但是非常可惜的我们没去，因为kaitlyn生病了，傍晚时，忽然发起了高烧。我想，她的老师一定失望极了，因为，千吩咐，万吩咐， 一定要准时出席。。。对不起了老师。。。明年再来吧！

希望我的女儿上了一年的课后，不是只会读和背，而是去做。落实所学的每一字，每一句。

而我呢？我也上了一年课，老师说身教生效，所以父母一定要做个好榜样给他们学。

在这一年里，学了一句话非常有意义的，所以我要把它记下来，好让两个女儿牢牢的记住。

同气连枝各自荣，些些言语末伤情，
一回见面一回老，能得几时为弟兄，
兄弟同居忍便安，莫因小事起争端，
眼前生子又兄弟，留与儿孙做样看。

Tasty salad

Papa loved this salad, after eating a salad made from one of his Germany's friend, he fall in love with salad and bring this recipe back and share it with us with a true Germany dressing recipe. This was easy to make and very tasty. The girl enjoy eating it!

Some updates on Mei Mei

Mei Mei is 2 years and 5 mths old. I can see that my little Mei Mei has grown up a lot in terms of the way she behave and talk. It is scary as she's now at the stage of naughty two, tend to do and say all the things that we don't expected.

Her skin type is tan so Ah Kong tend to call her 黑糯米. She'll angry when people tease her with this nickname.

A little instructor, there was a day, while we travel home from Ah Mah place, she instruct us what to do after we reach home, she asked me to take bath, Papa to work then Jie Jie do her homework and she's the only one can play. Actually that's the things that we do every night. Pity her, Mama no time to teach her, most of the time, she's with kakak.

Sometimes I wear very casual to work, and there was a morning she told me that "Mama I want you to wear pretty pretty, I don't want you wear 不美，不美的".

And also one day she said want to beat papa (I can't recall the incident), after papa raise his voice and ask her beat who, she said beat mosquito la...

Like yesterday night, papa was playing with the girls and ask them to give him a massage, may be is due to "geram", so Mei Mei bite on Papa back and that make Papa so angry and stare at her fiercely, she said 可怕，可怕 and run away.

And this morning, she take a peek when papa wee wee, she cried "oh!orange juice" ... you know what?? because papa urine is orangie...

Many more funny and cheeky things she has done recently. But yet, colour, letters, shape all don't know and this make me so worry and I feel so sorry that I didn't put much time in guiding her, I've register her to nursery by this December, hope she'll learn and pick up from there.

What so funny??

What so funny and make the girls laugh out loud? ..... b'cos my bumble bee wee wee on her custom without telling anyone.

Birthday girl not happy

My birthday girl told me that she' not happy today, even though have so many people celebrate birthday with her, yet her heart still go to her darling who's far away in Germany.

Tom n Jerry

Very nice photos taken in the morning when the girls playing around with each other. They are so lovely when they didn't fight. That's why I said they are Tom n Jerry.

Are they look familiar.. hehe if you have key to reading "Fun at home" from ROBIN, you will find that the character I draw was Sam and Anna, I'm not good in drawing and Kaitlyn ask me to draw her something on birthday party, so here come the copy cat mama...

Lantern

Kaitlyn finally can play with her snow white lantern which already keeps for a year. This picture was not taken during mid autumn festival but 4 days before me and hubby leaving to Beijing.

Shania and Kaitlyn

These 2 little girls met with each other because of their mummy. I'm so glad that we still keep in touch with each other and our girls can play together so well.

Getaway

We have a short trip to KL last weekend during papa's birthday. We took the girls along this trip without kakak. This time we stayed at Double Tree which was re-brand from Crown Princess. We checked in to the hotel after we spend an hour searching for the location as the GPS was not able to find it, due to the hotel name was not updated. The hotel management know that that day is papa birthday and send a cake to our room when we are out for dinner. That's so nice but too bad, we not manage to sing the birthday song with papa as he's rushing out to meet his supplier... so end up the cake was eaten by the girls.

One thing that I must blog about this trip is Jie Jie is more behave, even though her foot was pain due to the undersize shoes, she insists not to let any of us carry her.

Story Telling competition

Today is the inter class story telling competition, Kaitlyn is doing very good today. If I'm the judge, I'll give her 99 marks :)

(She get 3rd runner up)

colour blind???

Until now Mei Mei still not really know about colours, she only know pink and orange and for others colour if you ask her, she'll simply said one until she got it correct. Sometimes tembak betul also. We got a children CD that teach colour, Jie Jie insists to find the CD for her to watch instead of let her watching others, all of us start worry about her and we will find every opportunity to teach her, hope she can pick it up very soon. Papa said want to find a toy that can teach her colour but I don't think we need it as we can get it around us... the most easy one is from the cloths that we wear everyday.... I got a song, is about colour, so I sing for her every night depend on what colour her pyjamas is.

Blue Blue Blue, is everything I'm wearing.
Blue Blue Blue, my only cloth shall be,
Why do I always, wear myself in blue,
because the navy is the one I love..

Deer custom

Kaitlyn will tell story this Thursday, the title is "A Clever Deer", teacher ask me to dress her up like a deer and provide me 2 contact person for renting custom. After some thought, I didn't go for renting but I ask my colleauge's mother to make it for her.

I show her the drawing on how I want it to be and provide her the fabric that I bought from KAMDAR, all this cost me about RM30.00 including 2 piece fabric and labour cost, I wonder if I rent it will it be cheaper...anyway I feel satisfy when I got it as it look super cute on both of my girl and I may modify it next time for another character.

谁是谁的宝贝

妹妹告诉我，我是她的宝贝。哪姐姐呢？？她从不说这些话。。。
就在爸爸去sarawak 的那一晚，她问我，“我的宝贝去了那里”？。。。
隔天，把这件事告诉了老公，他听后，肯定“爽”吧！！！

How tall are they?

Kaitlyn 99 cm
Kait Yee 83 cm
Very petite girl :)

Pick-Up Stick Game

Five, six, pick-up sticks, seven, eight, lay them straight...

I spend RM1.00 to get this new game for Kaitlyn, pick-up stick game, she just love this game. We play it together but most of the time was scroll up by little one. Kaitlyn is big enough to understand the rules, she know to remove the stick which lay by itself first and follow by others that overlap.

This games become her "must play game" every night now.

I'm so proud to said that my Mei Mei know how to care about others..

Why I said so because when we about to go home from Ah Mah house just now, Mei Mei see Ah Mah carry Xiao Jie and she know that Ah Mah hand pain, cannot carry too long, so she remind Xia Jie that "later u ask Ah Phin kakak bao bao ha, because Ah Mah hand pain pain, cannot bao bao".

Another incident is there is one day after papa stock up his beer into the fridge, when about to stand up, he hit himself on the upper compartment. Ah Mei saw that and whenever her papa put something into the fridge, she'll use her little hand to protect her papa head and keep reminding him "careful...", so worry that he'll knock himself again.

These cute and colourful wall paper add life to our plain dull wall, do you agree? I want to buy this for quite sometimes but I didn't, worry that it will spoilt the wall after tear. I got this from one of my good friend, who bought it for my daughters.. thank you so much, Ai Nee, the girls (including old one) loved it :P

10 a.m flower

Are they lovely? These Japanese rose or 10 a.m flower (learn this name from my aunt) open so beautifully under the sun. I just plant them for few days, if they grow more, sure very beautiful :)

A visit to library

I finally complete a mission that has been drag for 2 years.. that is to bring Kaitlyn to the library. I totally have no idea where is the library located in Prai, hubby also not sure, just told me that is somewhere around KWSP. So lucky that we didn't lost our way, we find the library so easily with the help of the sign board, and the library is just 10-15 mins distance from our house.

I register for myself, registration fee only RM2. I promise Kaitlyn to bring her MYKid card during next visit so she can become member too and borrow more books as each person only allowed to borrow up to 4 books and 1 magazines.

We borrowed 4 children story books, 3 english and 1 chinese. We read all in an afternoon because Kaitlyn likes story so much. Should visit more since it is so near to our house.

Jealousy

If you have more than one child, you'll sure experience the challenges on sibling jealousy :) I said so because I have 2 super jealousy daughter, they not only jealous on each other but also jealous on the cousin.. Xiao Jie and Ern Ern...

Mei Mei always jealous when Jie Jie closed to me, or hug me or talk to me. If Jie Jie do something that don't make her feel right,she'll beat her. I told Papa that do not worry that she'll get bully in school :)

I remember a few months ago, when I help Kaitlyn to tight hair, this little naughty who's observing from a distance purposely walk to us, and throwing a "BAD" word to her Jie Jie.. "不美的" Really pengsan...

If you ask me who I love more, my answer is they are just equally loved.

Swollen Foot

Kaitlyn had a great fall from the bed 2 days ago when Ah Mah is not at home. This girl is very stubborn, ask her not to jump, she'll jump, purposely do everything we ask her not to, luckily not hit on the head or broke any bone...I told her this is the price to pay for not taking people advise, hope she'll learn from the lesson la.

Cut and Paste

By cutting and pasting, here come the picture of Mei Mei's bear bear and Jie Jie's rabbit... is from my hand... haha..not bad huh!!

2010 Family sports day

Last sunday is Kaitlyn's school sports day. This year she's in yellow team which is Brazil, there are South Africa(green), France(blue) and also England(red).Because of world cup so the school also use the world cup as their theme and whole session so full of world cup feel. Photos below tells all.. :)

Why and because

Mei Mei start asking a lot of why lately, most of the time after I expalin to her, she'll ask another why? And it just goes on and on..until I don't know how to answer her. She's just like her Jie Jie, curious on everything.

Her question can be why dark? why rain? why papa/mama need to work? Why sleep?why Jie Jie don't want to go home?

Sometimes we ask her back why?? and she'll answer us by using because...

退步了！！！

1st half is over, and Kaitlyn bring back her report card which I'm kind of dissapointed with. Her result is regressing... no more full 100, only get 2 100% out of 5 subject, the other 3 was due to her carelessness. Teacher comments on her attitude and behaviour also not so good, still need to improve.

双亲节

上个周日，参加了佛学院主办的双亲节。4-6 岁的孝梯班表演了两首歌，虽然没什么练习，但表演得还不错的。

除了歌唱节目，还有说故事啦，表演短剧啦，还有敬礼仪式。。。这个环节，我和老公都被吓到了。老师要求孩子们给父母下跪敬礼。。。老师告诉孩子们要感恩父母对他们的付出，要求孩子望着父母的双眼，看看父母多辛苦。。。还没下跪敬礼，听到这里，Kaitlyn 已经开始哭了，使劲的窝在爸爸的怀里，不愿起来。。。我和爸爸有一点犹豫，她到底懂不懂？？
