Transitions

Sunday, July 5, 2009

Last week was a dynamic week with lots of transitions taking place.. Well this explains the low output from factory. :P

First, nanny-dad has to be back to camp. This leaves mum to transit to a full-time nanny. But in just two dayz, i raised the white flag. Zhirui wun let me off even from my toilet break! Now i truly understand the woes of nanny-dad.

Second, we found a babysitter for zhirui as sb will be back to work after reservist. Have been bringing zhirui over to tz's house for induction. Today is the third day. I was gladly relieved when she smiled at tz this morning & show willingness to be carried. Pray things will continue to go positive.

Silence is returning, I tot, sitting at the dining hall. Somehow, a sense of loneliness creeps up. Oh dear.. Ya tou, mummy is missing you.. :(

Zhirui could not accept Daddy's new hairstyle

Saturday, June 27, 2009

Just a short post here.. Today, hubby had his hair cut really short in preparation for his reservist. Zhirui cried when she saw his new look. Tink it's becos she couldn't recognise him & tot Daddy was a stranger! haha.. :D

After a few moments, she reconciled to Daddy's new image but was still teary when she looked at him.. :(

丫头's first words..

Friday, June 26, 2009

Zhirui has been delighting us with her acquirement of language. Before memory fails me, it's better i quickly enter this blog about her first words.. :P

According to my husband, she blurted 'Ma Ma' at 8 months. (hmm.. so young meh??) Well anyway, what I do remember quite clearly was that at 10 months, she repeated 'red' after me during our reading time. I tot i was dreaming! Subsequently. she has spoken 'yellow', 'blue', 'green' before my husband. Genius!

Proudly bracing her 11th month, she further amazed us with words like 'flower', 'pen', 'bus', 'car'..

At this point, I reminded myself not to be obsessed. More imptly, it's about making use of language proficiency to deliver joy, peace & enlightenment to herself & others. :)

Last Sat, we took Zhirui with us to TG for DJZYS. Zhirui was the observer as I underwent the sutra recital test. She was very quiet and I could see from the corner of my eyes that she was in fact listening attentively as I recite the sutras. Seemingly, she knew that she should be respectful at that point in time. I'm truly proud of her for this good behaviour! :)

This is a photo of her socialising with young and old friends at TG. The boy in the picture, Shanghua, especially loves playing with Zhirui.

小叮当

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Zhirui's got a new friend. 小叮当! She loves finding him among her pile of pillows and blanket. And their all-time fav game is hide & seek.

Doo doo daa.. Zhirui zhirui little star

Monday, June 15, 2009

Doo doo da.. Doo doo daa.. zhirui's first music composition. Inspired by her ah-gong who taught her to 'drum' her lips. hmm.. see if we can get to record it down one day.

Then again, this might be a precursor to saying 'daddy'. :)

Eh-hemm.. My first voice

Gee.. I can't imagine I'm writing a blog now. Being a verbally unexpressive person (my husband knows too well), it can be quite a hurdle to start opening up to the cyber mass. Hopefully my often dull expressions of tots and stuff won't kill this new-found joy of writing about my daughter.

Ah.. my darling girl, fondly called Ya Tou or Fo zi bao bao is the spark of this blog. She's already 10months old. :) I regret not starting this blog earlier to cast the growing-up spits and laughters of Zhirui into memory.

So I guess in my coming blogs, will try to capture whatever morsel memory of zhirui's growing up, maybe right from pregnancy..

Shall sign-off for now. Time to be milked.
