More Of Little Samseng In Action

Baby can now climb up the sofa effortlessly in a flash. She’s really draining my mil and I out. And she loves to see us panick and run to her like a headless chicken when she’s climbing onto the sofa. One moment we see her walking and the next moment when we turn our backs on her, she’s already up the sofa with a smug look on her face and a victorious smile. Yesterday she fell and bumped her forehead when she was running. Now there’s a bruise and blue-black ‘bungalow’ on her forehead.

Once (about 2 weeks back), I pushed the playpen and the highchair against the sofa to prevent her from climbing up the sofa. But this fler outwitted me. Without even stopping to think how to climb up the sofa, she nonchalantly pushed the playpen away with one hand and slipped her tiny frame through the gap and climbed up the sofa. In fact, better for her coz she had the playpen to support her legs to push her way up the sofa, haih…..


Smug look! Told ya ma..mee I’m smart!  Easy peasy for me to climb up that sofa. No need to put the playpen there lar….


And from one sofa, she swiftly climbed over to the other where the highchair was placed to block her way, as if to show me she’s smart and to tell me “you think I’m stupid ar huh mamee? I can climb over wat!”. My mil and I were both dumbfounded and could only laugh when we saw her doing that.

Food… Oh Glorious Food

During our recent trip to Penang, the hubs AGAIN traveled round Penang just to get the ‘bestest’ Penang hawkers’ grub. Here are just some of the food that he got (for you to drool on):

Char koay teow from Lorong Selamat…. with extra prawns and Chinese sausages.


The ‘aunty cook’ who fries the koay teow wears a pair of special protective goggles when she’s in action in her char koay teow stall!

Yam cake with dried shrimps floss and fried shallots from the stall that sells Sister Char Koay Teow at Macalister Street.

Famous assam laksa from Air Itam market, near Kek Lok Si Temple

Hop over to my other blog to check out what other mouth-watering and sinful food we digged into whilst we were in Penang.

Welcoming Terrible Twos For The 3rd Time… This Time A Little Early

Email, RSS Follow

While I am really thankful and glad that Baby is now free from kidney reflux, I now have to go through the throes of yet another difficult stage with her, that is the inevitable Terrible Twos that Baby is slowly but surely showing classic symptoms of, though she is only at a tender age of 16 months old, well 17 months old in 8 days’ time, to be precise.  Too early for Terrible Twos?  I don’t know, perhaps not.  For the past few days, Baby would scream and yell at the top of her voice each time she’s carried away (while she’s enjoying her ‘walk walk’ and playing) to have her diaper changed or to be showered. When she does not get things done her way, she will scream and whine and gosh, she does sound like Sherilyn jie jie :S *wipes sweat from forehead*.  If I would allow her to, Baby would want to walk and walk and play the whole day without feeling hungry, thirsty or sleepy!

It’s becoming increasingly difficult for me to change her diaper as she would struggle, arch her back, twist her body like a snake, whine and scream. I’ve even hit her hands and legs several times when I just could not get her to sit still or lie still during diaper-changing times, bath times and milk time. And yes, she still bites my tits and then gives me a cheeky giggle! I can even feel that she’s one-upping her Sherilyn jie jie in her cheekiness and temperament.  Oh well, I shouldn’t complain, I should be grateful and thankful that despite all the trauma and pain that she’s gone through, radiation her tiny body has been exposed to umpteen times and strong antibiotics that she’s taken (orally, jabs and intravenously) for the past 14 months, she is still developing normally.  Praise the Lord for that!

Here is yet another stunt that Baby did at the hotel in Penang recently – climbing from one cot to another! Yes, we had 2 baby cots in our room and nope, Baby didn’t sleep on it. My 2 older monkeys slept inside it and they loved it! They love to feel like a baby again.

For the 3 days we were in Penang, Baby only survived on breastmilk, Pediasure, rice bubbles, the brown rice rings snacks that I brought from home, some wholemeal buns that we bought from Rainforest, some eggs and plain porridge.
