Girl Next Door

Jeremiah is a seasoned crawler now and all over the house he crawls, to explore, play and disturb whoever he finds.

He was exploring again his morning, from the living room, up the split level, up to the bedrooms upstairs, gave me a squeal when he saw me as he entered the master bedroom. The windows and blinds were up today and he made his way to the windows, reached for the grille and pulled himself up. There he stood, helping himself to the view outside, neighbours watering the plants, stray cats strolling by, cars passing by.

Unfortunately there is no baby girl of his age living opposite, otherwise I could possibly help him sing 阿牛's song:

对面的女孩看过来

看过来,看过来

这里的表演很精彩

请不要假装不理不睬

对面的女孩看过来

看过来,看过来

不要被我的样子吓坏

其实我很可爱

寂寞男孩的悲哀

说出来,谁明白

求求你抛个媚眼过来

哄哄我逗我乐开怀

(嘿嘿嘿,没人理我,嘿!)

我左看右看,上看下看

原来每个女孩都不简单

我想了又想,我猜了又猜

女孩们的心事还真奇怪

寂寞男孩的苍蝇拍

左拍拍,右拍拍

对面的女孩看过来

为什么还是没人来爱

无人问津哪,真无奈

对面的女孩看过来

看过来,看过来

寂寞男孩情豆初开

需要你给我一点爱

(嗨----嗨----!)

我左看右看,上看下看

原来每个女孩都不简单

我想了又想,我猜了又猜

女孩们的心事还真奇怪

我左看右看,上看下看

原来每个女孩都不简单

我想了又想,我猜了又猜

女孩们的心事还真奇怪

爱真奇怪!

唻唻唻......喔哎噢!

唻唻唻......噢----!

Bored

The work of a very bored yet energetic 3yo girl.

I wish she can vacuum and mop the floor, water the garden, clean the windows, wash the toilets, do the laundry, bath the cat ...

If she can do all this, I am pretty sure it will exhaust ALL her energy!!

New Year, New Friend

Sofia has not met this Gu-Gu of hers since two years ago but they hit it off right away when they met on New Year's eve. We celebrated New Year in KL this year so Gu-Gu came over to join us from Singapore.

The duo were best of friends for the six days they were together, it was like "Where is Gu-Gu?" the moment she wakes up in the morning and happened again when she wakes up from nap.

When Gu-Gu went back to Singapore this morning, Sofia tried to hold her back by pulling her leg. This is the first time I see this girl being so attached to another person again. I am sure Gu-Gu had a good time with her too! Hopefully we will meet soon again in Singapore!

Cheongsam

I decided to dress Sofia up in a new year finery this year - cheongsam. I thought through the idea for weeks and slept over it for many nights before I mustered all the courage to buy it.

WHY?

Simply because she is always running here and there and the last thing I want to hear on New Year's day is "Phhhiiiaaaaaa ....." and the pretty dress is sexier than ever. Because the slits at the side has gone higher than intended.

After I bought the dress, I let her try it on as soon as we got home. True enough, within 10 secs, she discovered her movements were so limited by this dress that she wanted to take it off. I asked her to wear it for a little while more please, she really looked lovely.

Guess what? This clever girl instantly pulled up the dress to her waist and started running again with her undies and bum-bum all exposed! Oh no!! Is she going to do this when we go visiting??

Well, I bought a size 4 dress, hopefully it will still fit next year and she will wear it like a demure young lady.

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

His Sour Face

Jeremiah likes to purse up his lips like that when he is not happy. But instead of getting the standard response he is expecting (Oooohhhh, what's wrong baby?), we find his expression so darn cute and funny and we start laughing at him.

THAT pisses him even further and his face gets more annoyed and he will start waving his arms to protest. It is so amusing and we laugh even harder ...

Of course it always ends with us giving in and showering him with lots of hugs and kisses and that makes him a happy boy again.

All I want for New Year

All I want for New Year is my two front teeth, my two front teeth.

Then I can wish you Happy New Year!

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE ARE MY TEETH??

Up the "Mountain"

Just when we were finishing off the house a week before we moved in, one of the major decisions we needed to make was to decide what sort of tree or plants we want to have in the garden. There were some trees that we loved to have but due to the potential growth of that specie, the tree may cause damage to the pipes running underground. So Daddy and I went around some of the new properties to see what are the options we have.

Sofia was very bored with our "shopping" though I tried to show her the tadpoles and beautiful flowers, it could only hold her interest for couple of minutes.

Then she found this little slope and she started calling it a "mountain" and the fun started. She started running from one "mountain" top to the other "mountain" top like a little mouse. It was lots of fun for her but I was not ready for her to get sweaty and dirty when we have other things to do later. So I made her stand on the top of the "mountain" and strike some poses.

Does she look like someone whom has just completed an incredible feat?

My Many Faces

Sofia has been playing with different facial expressions of late. She likes to go "Mummy, give me happy face!". Then I will give her a big broad smile. Or she will go "Mummy, give me crying face!" and I will pretend to sob while wiping imaginary tears away from my face.

She enjoys it very much and this is her version of the many expressions ...

Original ...

Sad face ...

ANGRY face ...

Wake up face ...

Last but not least, FUNNY Face!
