I'm A .... What?

As Angel gets older, I have stopped tidying after her and asked her to have her share in tidying up around the house for things that she messed up with. My sofa cushion will forever not staying at where they suppose to be just 5 minutes after I put them back. And the toys will never ever stays inside their toy box even when they are not played.

I also starts asking her to make her own bed and our bed too (although I will probably redo it after her most of the time) just to put her into a habit of making her bed every morning during weekends and also "keep her occupied" while I was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Then one day, while I asked her to make the beds while I was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She must be very frustrated about this bed making routine and then suddenly I hear her shouting from inside the bedroom.

"Urrrghhh ...... Mommy, I am so tired of making the beds and keeping all my toys everyday and doing EVERYTHING!! Why do I need to do this everytime and you are doing NOTHING?"

Then she continues ....
"Are you a STEPMOTHER asking me to do all these, huh????!!!!"

"I'm a ... What????"  I am really speechless. So I just put down the halfway done breakfast and say to her:

"Ok, then your Stepmother will start tidying up the bed and you please make breakfast for yourself ok, Cinderella? After that starts vacuum the floor, mopping and hang the clothes outside the house too my sweetheart. After that go to the market and do groceries and prepare for lunch too ya ......."

Then suddenly she stopped me half way and say

"OK OK OK ..... I will make my bed now and can you please stop talking and CONCENTRATE in making breakfast, Mommy?"

Sigh ...... Really kek-sei-ngo la.

I Don't Want You To Fly Up There ....

Hello there and Wow ... This site has been idle for such a long time!! Handling 2 kids and the constant flying, flying, flying and flying every couple of week makes updating this blog almost impossible! I almost forgot how things work in this blogosphere and my own blog already but I am sure, I will make things starts moving again ... slowly but eventually :)

Lets starts from Angel! This girl is almost 5 years old in the coming month but she is still very much a mommy's little baby girl ^_^ She still wants me to hold her to sleep and as yesterday while putting her to sleep, I said to her .....

Me: Angel, mommy hold you to sleep every night and when mommy gets older, would you hold mommy to sleep too?
Angel: Mommy! Are you OLD already? But I don't want you to fly up up there wor .....

Me: What up there? To Shanghai?
Angel: No ..... "up there" where all the sick people are.

Me: ........ heaven?
Angel: Yes, I don't want you to grow old fast fast and fly up to heaven! I will M-I-S-S you soooo much because I love you!!!! *then hug me*

Angel: I want you 'everyday' 15 years old mommy ..... (she added :P)

How I wished ..... that would be really nice!

Is That Really Ah Mah? [3Y9M]

Is that really Ah Mah (Grandma)?

On my birthday, my sophisticated mom (Angel’s grandma) sent me an e-card:

M: Angel, come and see what Ah Mah (grandma) sent to me! Ah Mah sent me a card!
*She watched the animated card silently ….*

M: Nah ….. see? Ah Mah wishes Mommy Happy Birthday!
*as I pointed to the e-card’s dancing bear*

A: Mommy ………… is that really Ah Mah ??????
*pointing to the bear looking puzzled*

*Laugh* I always told her that there is an “Uncle” inside those human-sized Moscot. Now she thought Ah Mah has dressed up as a BEAR *slap forehead*

^ ^ A: Is that really Ah Mah?? LOL

******************

Where is the “haa-aam” (filling)?

On my Birthday, Hubby gave me a “red packet” for good luck. Angel was crying for hers too so daddy handed her one and she was so happy waving her red packet until she looked inside ….

A: PAPA!!!!!! WHY NO MONEY INSIDE??? Huh huh huh ~~~ Why no money inside!?!! *started to wail*

Oh dear, I hope she doesn’t do that in this coming CNY if she happens to get an empty abg-pow for good luck :P


^ ^ Let me see ….. Whoo Hoo .... it's 5-zero! (cent :P :P)

note: Yes, there is a 50 cent bank note here in Shanghai which is around RM 0.25 :P


******************

Seriously need a diet

I was standing in front of the mirror, checking on myself ready for a our day out and I saw Angel was grinning while looking at me at the doorstep

M: What are you smiling at?

She walk towards me then raise her hand rubbing my tummy

A: Mommy, your tummy is still so big and round la …….
*then she walk away with that sneer still on her face*

(@_@) Time for a serious diet plan for me liao … sob sob sob *cry*



^ ^ My belly while I was still pregnant with Annabelle and it’s still very BIG even till now :(

******************

Kay-Ep-Cee

A: Mommy! Can I eat “Kay-Ep-Cee” please ~~~ !!!!

Note: Kay-Ep-Cee = KFC



^ ^ The KFC Promo Bucket in Shanghai consist of 3 pc OR Chicken, 4 hot wings, 4 Orlando wings, 5 pc nuggets and 3 medium drinks (Fries excluded). It cost RMB 69 (Approx. RM 35).
Expensive or Cheap??

******************

Elvis Presley

I am watching “China Talent Show” on TV and a young man impersonate Elvis Presley singing one of his hit song and Angel suddenly said:

A: Mommy, ROCK ‘N ROLL!!!
M: Huh?? *clear my ears*

*a 3 year old knows what Rock ‘n Roll is?? Pui-fook!! Pui-fook!!*



^ ^ Her hip-hop moves??? :P :P


******************

Money Buy or Buy Money

We were doing some groceries shopping in the supermarket

A: Mommy, I want to buy biscuits
M: Ok.

A: I want to buy some Bananas
M: Ok.

A: I want to buy Chocolate
M: I think we do not have enough money to buy chocolate *trying to brush her off*

A: Mommy, let's go and “buy” some money first then we can buy the Chocolate!
M: ………….


^ ^ Mommy, I want to buy this and this and this … and can we please go to “BUY” some money first and then we can buy all these???

******************

You love someone else!

I forbidden Angel to do something and apparently she was angry and sad while snivelling:

Angel: Huuuk ~~~ Mommy!!! You (do) not listen to me at all!!! *I remain silent*

Angel: You (do) not love me at all, M-O-M-M-Y!!! *I still remain silent*

Angel: Huuuk~~ Huuuuk~~! You (do) not love me EVERYTIME Mommy! YOU ONLY LOVE PAPA EVERYDAY !!! *she suddenly bawled*

LOL

Poor girl ....... just because her mommy doesn't forbidden or get angry with papa as often as towards her so she thinks mommy is bias :P


^ ^ Huu ~~~ *crying* You only LOVE PAPA EVERYDAY !!!!! :’(:’(:’(
Note: It’s getting harder to snap the picture of her crying nowadays coz she would turn away from my camera.

******************

Ultraman = ???

I bought this Ultraman toy for her in the market because I saw the TV was showing the Ultraman series lately and she seems to love the show very much. And guess what, it cost only RMB 2 (approx. RM 1) !! LOL


^ ^ This is the cheapest toy I have ever bought!
It even comes with a laser light on its chest.



Angel was so delighted:

M: Angel, do you know who is this?
A: YA~~~!! It’s a ROBOT!!

M: What do you call this robot?? *expecting ‘Ultraman’ of course*
A: This is "UNCLE"~~~ *@_@III*

p/s: She doesn’t know it’s call Ultraman coz the movie here was in Mandarin :P Now she calls him ‘ROBOT LIGHT” … well, it’s better then calling him UNCLE right? @_@


^ ^ When she saw Ultraman was on TV, she quickly dig out her new toy from her toy box and imitate his move kicking and ‘laser’ the monster in the TV ^_^

******************

Between Chicken n Kitchen

Angel always mixed up certain words unintentionally especially when she speak quickly and it’s so funny!

M: Angel, put your bowl in the “Chicken” (Kitchen)!

She knows my intention and be extra careful:

A: I already put my bowl in the ……… "Chicken" ah!
*I laugh out loud and she was laughing embarrassingly too :P*

And there she tries very very hard again:

A: "Chicken"!!
*laugh*

A: ………. Emmmm …….. CHIC-KEN!!
*I nearly laugh my heads off and there she continues*

A: Aiyaaa …….. it’s “Shicken” la!!

A: No!!!! “KITCHEN” la, mommy!!!!

*LOL. She never fails to add colours into my boring daily life! ^_^ *


^ ^ My Dearest Sweetie Pie, your enchanting smile will always be mommy's brightest sunshine ^_^

Talking About Birthday Presents

Me and Angel was talking about my coming birthday and the birthday present this morning. From her conversation, she surely knows what we liked :P

M: What will you get for Mommy’s birthday, Angel?
A: I will buy mommy a BREADMAKER
* Ya ..... I have been eye-ing on this breadmaker from the shopping TV channel here :P :P*

M: What if it is Papa’s birthday?
A: I will buy Papa GLASSES!

M: What about Annabelle’s birthday?
A: A PACIFIER!

M: What about Gong Gong’s (grandpa) birthday?
A: I will buy Gong Gong a BOOK!

M: What about Ah Mah (grandma)?
A: Ah Mah likes to 'see' computer EVERYDAY! I will buy Ah Mah a COMPUTER!

*hahahaha .... she is very observant :P*

M: What about Ah-Gu (my brother)

*I think he’ll love it if she really buys him one :P*

M: What about Ah-Kim (my SIL)
A: I will buy her ... Errrmmm ... Errrmmm ....(think hard) I will buy her AH GU!
*I burst out laughing! Even she noticed how much she loves my brother right??? Wink wink*


Then when asked what she would like for her birthday present:

A: I want Apples and Bananas!! 1 book and 10 toys!!!
*Sigh .... Bananas again??*

M: Ok ok ...... I know you likes Apples and Bananas, books and toys! What else??
A: Errrmm ..... I want 1 Oven, 1 Hello Kitty handphone and 1 Hello Kitty Camera!

@@_@@

A 3 and 1/2 year old kiddo start asking for Oven, Handphone and Camera already? No wonder one of the blogger mommy mentioned her 5 year-old start asking for credit card!

Sophisticated kids we have nowadays? ^_^

^ ^ Bergaya betul ~~!!

****************************

Work Harder, Papa

I was browsing at some cooking blog and Angel saw few nice cupcakes and cookies

A: Ohhhhh Mommy, I want these .....!!
M: But we don’t have an oven here :(

A: Oh, then ask Papa go working (to work) and make more money la!

(Oh .... I do hope that Hubby won’t mind to hear this, poor Papa :P)

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE ^_^

Angel says at 3Y8M

M: Angel, Mommy have to go out to do something and you stay home with Papa ok? Don’t be naughty ya!
A: Ok Mommy! Be careful Mommy, I love you very much Mommy!”

“I love you very much mommy!” *she says that quite often everyday* and continue with
“You love me very much or not mommy?” and
“Now say you love me too Mommy! Say eh ….”

“I am Princess Angelina! I am a beautiful Princess! Mommy, you are a beautiful Queen!”

She loves to play doctor and always tells us that, “I am Doctor Angel and mommy, you are my patient! Now ….. lets see where mommy feels pain pain!”

**************

M: Angel, you look like Papa!
A: Nooooo!!!! NOOOOO!!!! I don’t look like Papa!!! I look like Mommy wor!! Ya? Ya? Mommy?

M: But everyone else says that you look like Papa!
A: Nooo!!! Wahhhh ….. (crying) I don’t want to look like Papa wor!! I DON’T HAVE ‘DOT DOT’ ON MY FACE!!!!

M: Dot-dot? What dot-dot?
A: Dot-dot is like Papa’s face!

**Note: dot dot = pimples scar, hahahahaha!

**************

When she saw mommy is busy in the kitchen, she would asked, “Mommy, are you cooking for Angel? Mommy love Angel ah?”

And once the food is served, she would sometimes says, ”Oh … thank you mommy! That’s Angel’s Best Porridge Ever, Mommy! Thank you so much Mommy for cooking this porridge for Angel ~~~!” (Ya! That’s the exactly how she said it!) Oh …… don’t know where she learn to talk like that and of course mommy’s hearts melted straight away la! *mommy in cloud nine*

She get hold of a RMB1 coin from daddy and when I asked her how she’s gonna spend it, she have a thought and answered, “I can buy mommy some water!” *Yes, I always bought drinking water when we were out shopping and it’s so nice of her to think of mommy before herself* ^_^

A: Mommy, I will buy you a breadmaker ok?
M: Oh, OK!
A: No Mommy,you must say “Thank You My dear!” lah ....
*sound so much like mommy leh :P :P*

Start using exclamation such as “OH ~~MAN!” or “OH ~~ PICKLES” (what does that mean?) with hands hitting her chest whenever she was disappointed! *_* (I think she learn it from the Dora cartoon?).

She would mimic me saying, “Mommy, don’t speak when you are eating! It’s a safety violation mommy!” So whenever I forbidden her to do something, I would tell her that it’s a safety violation explaining to her the reason why and she would normally obey :P

When she’s angry:
A: Mommy, you are not LISTENING TO ME AT ALL!!!

When she’s sad:
A: Papa ~~~ Mommy is angry at me!! Mommy DON'T love me ANYMORE!! WAHHHHHHHH *crying*

When she is happy:
A: OH BOY!!! I can’t wait!! Now give me some FOOD!!!!



M: Angel, how are you?
A: I am 3 years old *@_@*
M: Angel, how OLD are you?
A: I am fine, thank you *@@_@@*

She starts popping us the question “WHY …. WHY …. WHY …..” in everything now.

She could express herself better now telling us whether she is happy, sad, hot or cold. Lately she keeps telling us numerous time that she Is ‘So Happy’ because she back here in Shanghai with mommy and daddy! *laugh* I even heard her talking to herself that day saying
A: Oh, bye-bye Ah Mah (grandma)! Angel go to shanghai already~~~! Angel not going back to Ah Mah house already …. Angel is soooooo HAPPY!!! *@_@*

M: Angel …. What are you doing there?
A: Emm …. NOTHING! *hiding something behind her back*

M: Angel, opened up the door! What are you doing in there?
A: EMMM …. NOTHING! *found that she was climbing on the ledge of the window*

M: Angel, what are you eating? *saw traces of food at the corner of her mouth*
A: Emm ….. NOTHING mommy! *found that she secretly hide the jar of peanut butter behind the curtain*

M: Angel, what are you doing locking yourself inside the toilet?
A: NOTHING ~~ mommy! *saw pieces of Kisses Chocolate wraps beside her potty*
p/s: if she says NOTHING, my heart pounded faster actually! NOTHING always means SOMETHING!!!

A:Mommy, I Love CHOCOLATE ICE-CREAM!! It’s so delicious!



Asking mommy numerous times a day,
“Mommy, Angel good girl or not today?” or
“Mommy, are you happy today?“

“Mommy, are you happy with ‘me’ or not today mommy? Huh?? Huh?”

She still ‘overused’ the word Sorry. “I am soooooo sorry Mommy!! I promised!!! ” and forget all about it as soon as she turns around.

“Mommy, I am so sorry AGAIN, mommy!”

“I promise that I will be good girl next time AGAIN! Can you don’t be sad at me AGAIN mommy?”

“Don't worry mommy, I'll be OK, I promise! (means she'll behave! :P)”

“I don’t want to sleep Mommy! I want to lie down and REST!” *we can't use the word SLEEP coz she hates to sleep*

“I am Angel Jie Jie!”




She would reply all our instruction with the word ‘but’ at the front.

M: Angel, go to sleep!
A: But Mommy, I am not tired!

M: Angel, please pick up your toys!
A: But Mommy, I still want to play the toys!

M: Angel, please don’t say ‘but’ anymore! Just do as mommy says ok?
A: But …. But …. But ….. But Mommy, I want to say ‘but’ wor!

She Does Not Speak Mandarin

At the playground, Angel met new friends A & B:

Kid A: 来。。。 小妹妹，我们一起玩！(Come play with us.)
Angel: Come! Sit there! You sit there! *pointing at the seesaw*

Kid B: *referring to kid A* 她说什么？？她说英语？？(What she says? She is speaking English?)
Angel: Jie Jie come here! Sit THERE! You sit THERE!!! *says it LOUDER*

Kid A: 我不会说英语啦! (I don’t speak English!)
Kid B: 你说中文！！(Can you speak Mandarin!!)

Angel: 。。。。。*in mandarin* 一，二，三，四，五，六，七，八，九，十！！
(she recites her 1,2,3,4 in mandarin :P :P :P)

That’s the best she can do ^_^

^ ^ Finally, they manage to communicate ...

****************

Strangers: Come here 宝贝! (bao-bei)
Angel: I AM NOT 宝贝! (bao-bei)!! I - AM - ANGEL!!!!
*and she makes a very angry face too :P*

****************

But she is improving ....

Mommy: Angel, speak Chinese please!
Angel: Ni-hao! (你好！)

Mommy: What’s next?
Angel: Wo-Shi-Angel 。(我是Angel。)

Mommy: And …..??
Angel: *thinking hard* ……. Xie-Xie! (谢谢！)

Mommy: Somemore?
Angel: Zai-Jian! (再见！)

Mommy: That’s it?
Angel: But I already said Zai-Jian (再见) ah!
@_@

Angel the 姐姐 (2)

I would let Angel have her share in ‘taking care’ of Annabelle as much as possible and Annabelle seems to ‘connect’ with Angel very well. Annabelle’s eyes would follow Angel wherever she goes and she would turn her head left and right searching for Angel’s whereabouts all the time ^_^ If Annabelle is crying, Angel would mimic what we normally do by patting Annabelle to soothe her while saying "Ok ok ok kkkkkkkk .... I said OK! OK?" which really sound like us :D It makes us laugh watching her babysit Annabelle. (How I wish she will do that more often) She would also ask me to let her bottle feed baby Annabelle too and manage to do the job pretty well as you can see ^_^

^ ^ The little ‘mommy’

********************

It’s so funny when I accidentally found this picture storing away in my camera. This is what Angel does when she first heard baby Annabelle crying out loud during Annabelle first day home from the labouring hospital. After few months spending time with Annabelle, Angel has got use to Annabelle’s crying and Annabelle has somehow managed to 'survived' the noises that her big sister was constantly created at home especially when Annabells is having her sweet nap. Incredible but that's the essential surviving skill which a younger siblings must possessed I must say :)


^ ^ Mommy, why is the baby so noisy?

********************

When Angel saw mommy breastfeeding baby Annabelle

A: Mommy, what are you doing? *frown*
M: Mommy is feeding baby. You want some? *teasing her*

A: But Mommy ...... that’s not a good idea!! *Frown and covering her mouth*
M: But mommy milk is yummy!!!

A: Oh ~~ NO THANKS!!!! Angel have goat milk o-re-di! *pointing at her formula milk*
M: Oh, nevermind then. Later after mommy finished, it’s Angel’s turn (breast)feeding Annabelle ok?

*looks shock and quickly with both hands crossed in front of her chest covering them tight, frown more with tears in her eyes*

A: but ...... ANGEL DOESN’T HAVE (breast) MILK!!!! *Tears in her eyes*

Oh, Poor little Angel! Is breastfeeding really looks so terrifying for you??


^ ^ Angel says: Don't worry baby, although I don't have (breast) milk but I can help to bottle feed you ...."

Angel the 姐姐 (1)

She has become a big sister now. Annabelle's existence doesn’t border her much although sometimes she does show some jealousy for knowing that she has to share daddy, mommy and grandma (who wanna be left out and share when it comes to love but I will share this in a separate post), but as long as we demonstrated that we still love her as much, she seems to be settling well and welcoming her little baby sister with open arms and always looking at her baby sister and exclaim, “Oh ...... Look!!! Baby so CUTE ~~~!!” :). She would even peep at us and steal the moment to ‘kiss’ her little sister on the mouth when she knew that we weren’t watching :) *sweet sweet*

***********

Before the arrival of Annabelle

Whenever she saw me out of the house, she would asked,

Angel: Mommy now go (to) see doctor and take the baby out???
Mommy: No No ...... not yet. *laugh* Do you know how the doctor take the baby out?

Angel: Like this ~~ *showing me some hands movement* Doctor cut open mommy’s tummy, take the baby out ...... and then close the tummy, like that!
Mommy: Oh ...... I see, how clever! So you like Mei-Mei or not?

Angel: Yes ...... Baby Mei Mei so cute! I am Angel Jie-Jie!
Mommy: Yes, you will be Jie-Jie, a big Jie-Jie soon so you must take care of baby ya ^_^

Angel: OK Mommy *smile*

^ ^ Preparing Angel for her baby sister before baby was born. She would tag along whenever I am visiting the labouring ward and she would look at other mommy’s baby in the nursery room refusing to leave :)

***********

After the arrival of Annabelle - hospital

During my hospital stay, Angel came for a visit and boy, I missed her so much! When she saw me lying on the bed, she come over to hold my hand, looking at me with a very gentle and caring look on her face and asked,

Angel: Mommy ...... 你痛痛 (are you in pain)？
Mommy: Yes ...... Mommy 痛痛.

Angel: Ohhh ...... Poor Mommy ...... *stroking my hand* Don’t worry Mommy, I’ll help. (*she always says that she’ll help whenever she feels sorry for someone :P*)
Mommy: How will you help mommy?

Angel: Angel will give mommy a Surprise Party. Surprise party will make (mommy) happy. *smile*
Mommy: A surprise party??? *wondering*

And she gave me a gentle hug and kisses on my hand. She can be a very gentle and caring little girl at times ...... ^_^ but 10 minutes later, she is up and running in the entire laboring ward already.


^ ^ My little Angel pays me a visit in the hospital ward :)

And when she first saw Annabelle being wheeled into the room, she kept looking at her and say nothing until we told her that Annabelle is the baby inside mommy’s tummy all these while.

She dare not hold her and touched her at first until we encouraged her showing that it’s ok, then she gently touched Annabelle’s cheek for the very first time and say “Oh ...... Baby so cute!!!” ^_^

***********

After the arrival of Annabelle – at home

At home, she is a great helper too (sometime :P :P) ...... She would help me to grab baby’s hanky and entertain baby whenever I am busy with other stuffs. And whenever she heard the baby’s crying upstairs, she would used her all mighty voice and call for my confinement lady who is always in the kitchen downstairs and say,

Angel: AUNTIE ~~~~ BABY IS CRYING ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or when the baby is crying inside her cradle, she will shout out loud to grandma

Angel: AH MAHHHHH ~~~~ BABY IS CRYING! 摇 BABY ah!!!!!! (rock the baby)

Kekekekeke …… I do not need an expensive baby monitor to alert all of us of baby’s crying, do I??? *smile*

She Understands .... After All

Angel is growing up fast and well. At the age of 2, she starts to understand and take simple instructions. She is considered a bit slow in terms of speech but now that she is 3, I can see improvements in that area and she has been able to express herself better and communicate, sometimes even fights back when we said something she doesn’t agree of. Sometimes, I would forget that she is no more a small baby who will take all instructions and comments without any objections :P.

We used speak English at home and sometimes in Mandarin but somehow, she prefers (seems to understands) English better. Whenever we talk to her in Mandarin, most of the time she would response with

“What?? What?? What Mommy??” …………….. until we switch back to English.

So I have assumed that she doesn’t understand much of our Mandarin. So one day, I was complaining to my mom (in mandarin) while she was lying on the floor beside us doing her own stuffs.

Me: “Angel 近来真的很坏蛋哦！出街又不爱牵手，真的，下次要少点带她出去了 。。。。*bla bla bla*”
Me: Angel is getting very mischievous lately. She doesn’t want to hold our hands at all whenever we went shopping and I think we should bring her out lesser ….. *bla bla bla*

My Mom: “是咯，越大越顽皮，又不听讲！那天还冲出马路去，叫都不听！ 真的危险，该打！越来越不像话了 。。。。”
My Mom: Agreed! The older she is the more mischief she gets, not listening to us at all! That day, she even zoom towards the road out of a sudden disregard how I call her back and that’s really dangerous! She really needs a good smack …….

Suddenly we heard a loud and angry voice,

“HEY~~~~!!!! You CANNOT ! You CANNOT 打Angel ~~!!! Angel ANGRY !!!”

And we saw Angel standing up in front of us looking very angry with a pointed mouth, crossing both hands in front of her chest!

A bit surprised, I asked her in Mandarin:
“你听得明白Mommy在讲什么meh??? ”
(You understand what mommy is saying???)

“YES~~ !!!!!”

She response with an angry voice looking at the opposite direction.

Hahahahahahaha, now I know that she actually understands what we were saying and also paying attention to what we adults were chatting all the time when we thought she weren't. So my mom said next time we have to switched to Malay if we don’t want her to know that we are complaining about her :P :P

Chinese Opera Fans Not?

I was not so surprised that Angel actually loves to watch Chinese Opera in the TV because sometimes, she loves watching oldies / Japanese Opera on and off while we have to wait patiently until the entire show was over. She normally would refused to switch channel and glued her eyes to the TV screen until the opera singer finished her performance then she would take a deep breathe as if the show is really that breathe taking. ^_^

I really thought that she purely enjoy opera singing until one day, she saw a Beijing Opera show was showing on the TV again

A: This one!! This one!!! (making a whine pointing at the Chinese opera channel)
Me: This show is not nice ……

A: 你(I) want!! 你(I) want see!!! Wuaaaaahhhh ~~~ *crying*
Me: Ok ok … Don’t cry …… Angel see TV!

(She watched the show without making a move)

Me: ……… Angel, you like to watch opera? Is it really that nice???
A: Oh yes~~~!! It’s Nice …… It’s “MONSTERS”!!! >”<>

Speaking Thai

After such a long period staying in Thailand, Angel has mastered the Thai greeting ritual few months back. She would greet everyone while being asked to where she would stand properly, putting both her hands together, bow a bit and said

"SaWaDee ka~~!" (greeting in Thai language) in a very happy and jolly tone :) I love to see her doing that as she looks extremely polite and cute :)

Also that day when we was travelling in the car, Angel's grandma is talking to Angel

G: Angel, see .... the car is going up! Nah .... going down!

A: (watching without making a sound)

G: See .... tell mommy to steer the steering, turn turn turn left~~, turn turn turn right~~ .....

Then suddenly we heard

A: Dong-Bai Ka ~~ka ~~ ka.......... Kwa-Ka ~~ ka ~~ ka......... (while pointing to the front showing me the way :D)

We paused then laughing non stop!! Oh dear, Angel must have learn that from us while we was talking to the taxi driver in Bangkok :)

Actually Angel starts to give me directions but it's in all in Thai words!!! :D

Dong-Bai ka = Go Straight Please, while Kwa-Ka = Turn Right Please both in Thai language. We didn't expect that the first language that she learn in giving us directions (only directions so far) is actually in Thai :D Even back in Malaysia, she would also give us directions in her Thai language :P :P

'I Sea U'

I must jot this down before I forgot .........

While Angel sleep over with her grandparents for couple of weeks, I miss her so much and would called her every 1-2 days just to listen to her voice. Her vocabulary is not very strong yet so she would just babble and babble over the phone for 15 minutes with all her baby talks ^_^ Although I can’t understand a word of hers but I sure enjoy listening to her sweet little voice over the phone ... hoping that it will make me missing her less (but at the end, I miss her even more .....)

M: Hello Angel ~~ … Call me.
A: Hello ....... Mommy ~~~

M: Good Girl *smile* Are you being a good girl today?
A: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x (her babbling)

M: Did Kung Kung and Ah Mah bring you to kai kai?
A: x x x x x x x x (her babbling again)

M: Kuai (乖)…… is it ? So you did go out to kai kai .....
A: x x x x x x x x x x (her babbling again)

M: Oh …. Oh …. (Pretend to understand what she is saying) So you be a good girl ok?
A: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

*After talking and singing a few songs to her*

M: OK …. Mommy 'sayang' Angel ok?
A: x x x x x x x x ....... 'I Sea U' (suddenly she say it in a very soft tone)

M: What did you say …….... ?? (holding my breathe)
A: ....... 'I Sea U'

M: ……………………………………. (holding back my tears this time)
A: x x x x x x xx x x x x x x

M: OK lah, Angel, You are Mommy’s Good Girl …… Mommy love you very much OK? Come say ‘Bye Bye’ to Mommy (Have to cut the conversation short)
A: Ok ..... Bye Bye …. (she must be waving bye bye at the same time)

Once I put down the phone, I nearly broke down in tears because I missed her so so so so much but yet, feeling very contented at the same time. Sometimes it’s so hard to imagine that my 2 years old little girl who is still babbling all these while would suddenly say ‘THAT’ to me over the phone *sniff sniff*

Just in case you are wondering ...... I SEA U is how Angel’s pronounce I LOVE U

What Angel Says

While watching theTV
Angel : Oh No ….. (looking at the TV showing a guy falling down LoL.)

Everytime after I changed her into her pyjamas or dressed her up to go out, she would say
Angel: OK ~~ OK ~~ (and can’t wait to start moving around again)

*********************************************
Angel: Aunty !!!! Aunty!!! Uncle !!!!! Uncle!!!! (Everybody in the whole Taman can hear her voice,)
That’s the way she greets our neighbours when she sees them outside their house doing their gardening.
She will keep doing that until they respond her back LoL

*********************************************
I call for her from the kitchen and handed her tjhe bottle of milk
Angel: Kek – kiu ~~(thank you)
and walk away with the bottle of milk already in her mouth

*********************************************
Every morning when I changed her soiled diapers, she would look into her diapers making funny face, shake her head left and right and fingers under her nose saying
Angel: Yeeeeeeeee ...... chiu chiu (臭臭/Smelly)

*********************************************
Mommy: Angel, come let’s go kai kai
Angel: Kai Kai! Kai Kai! Weeeeeee!!!!
With both hands up in the air

*********************************************
Mommy: ANGEL!!! Look what have you done!!!!
Running quickly towards daddy, making a horrified look, looking and pointing to me and said to her daddy
Angel: Nohh ... Nohh ...!!! Ma-Mi .... (pointing at me) Noh~~ …… Pah Pah (afraid)!!

*********************************************
Mommy: Angel, come let’s go sleeping now, it’s late!
Angel: Don’t want!!! 不要 (don’t want)!!! 不要 (don’t want)!!!
