Boe Yin's 3rd birthday

2010-08-22T04:41:00.000-07:00

今年你的生日妈妈决定为你写下你的三岁～～～

最近你很喜欢唱妈妈教你唱的“小草”：－

大风起，把头摇一摇，风停了，又挺直腰，大雨来，弯着背，让雨浇，雨停了，抬起头，站直脚，不怕风，不怕雨，立志要站高，小草实在是并不小。

你唱的时候很认真，一字不漏的，非常棒，妈妈引你为傲！

每个晚上，你都要妈妈唱歌哄你睡觉，指定歌曲有：客人来，小老鼠，ＩＬｏｖｅＹｏｕ，财神到和新年歌。呵呵～～，是的，你很爱听新年歌，从今年年头开始就一直重复观赏新年歌集到今天，从不厌倦，你还会跟着哼呢！你也很爱看Ｂａｒｂｉｅ卡通录影光碟，每天闹着要看ｇｉｒｌ　ｇｉｒｌ的戏。你也很喜欢玩妈妈折给你的飞机。。。

二姐读下午班，早上有二姐陪你玩，二姐和你的感情非常好。

你有很多很疼爱你的堂哥堂姐

那天睡前你在床上发脾气，还打了爸爸几下，爸爸生气的大声骂你，你就打得更凶，妈妈忍不住就骂了你两句，结果你把我也打了几下。爸爸叫你住手，你不听，结果被爸爸打手手。爸爸下手很重，妈妈心疼就赶快把你抱起，丢你在床边，还生气的说不要你了。

你受委屈的大哭起来，我们都没有管你。你却自己爬回上床，很可怜的在呜咽着。

妈妈：我都不要你了，你爬上了干吗？

博皓：呜呜～～

妈妈：你快点讲ｓｏｒｒｙ，不然我就不要ｓａｙａｎｇ你。

博皓：我不要讲。

妈妈：不要讲，我就不ｓａｙａｎｇ你。

博皓：我也不ｓａｙａｎｇ你，我ｓａｙａｎｇ　ｋａｋａｋ．

妈妈：（。。。这小瓜竟然讲中我的死穴）我ｓａｙａｎｇ二姐。

博皓：我ｓａｙａｎｇ大姐。

妈妈：我有糖果不给你吃。

博皓：你都没有糖。（当时真的没有糖果在身，我又输了）

妈妈：我明天买糖不要给你吃，给二姐吃。

博皓：我都不要吃。（嘿，好不神气！）

妈妈：（我又输了）ｏｋａｙ，明天我买糖给二姐吃不给你吃。（我再重复）

博皓：我不要跟你好了，我不要给你看ｇｉｒｌ　ｇｉｒｌ．（那是你爱看的影片）

妈妈：我都不要看。

博皓：我不要给你玩飞机。（是你爱玩的折飞机）

妈妈：那是妈妈折给你的呢。不过，我也不要玩。

博皓：我不睬你了，你去睡ＢＢ　ｃｏｕｒｔ。（你一点都不词穷，骂架一流！）

爸爸和妈妈在偷笑，结果选择不睬你。你在哪儿嘀咕嘀咕。。呜咽多一会儿也睡着了。

第二天早上，我还责问你为什么打妈妈。你还很理直气壮的说：因为你丢我下床嘛！

妈妈真的拿你没办法。

大姐最疼你，他有对付你的一套。

下午我把你跟妈妈吵架的事情告诉大姐，大姐笑的合不笼嘴，说：我们都不敢跟爸爸妈妈顶嘴，弟弟竟然那么大胆。我还跟大姐投诉你没有跟妈妈道歉。

晚上，我回家后，大姐竟然能够要你向妈妈道歉。大姐果然有他的一套。

My first ice-skating experience

2009-12-31T06:54:00.002-08:00

This is the first time they went for ice skating, one night before they go, they were so excited, looking forward to the game. They woke up so early in the morning and fully "equipped" with long pants, long sleeves, vest and water proof groves.

Before they go, I told them that it could be a tough lesson, be prepared to have a lot of falling, but do not scared and do not give up, keep on practicing, when you are able to manage it, you can fly as fast as you can.

I also told them that, if you scared of falling, this would be the first time and also the last time to go skating, if you know how to skate already, will bring you all go for ice-skating again in next school holiday, I think this might be the strongest encouragement for them.

The little girl in black is their new friend, named Beatrice. She was alone there, their parents left her there and went for movie. She is a nice girl, at first she helped Shu Yin to go to the center of the field. Shu Yin was encouraged by her and able to walked on her own. Later when Shu Yin met her classmate, she left Beatrice behind... (the two little girls behind them are Shu Yin and her friend) Later, on my request, Beatrice was so kind to guide Jayin for her first walk in the center of the field. Thank you very much, Beatrice.

Jayin had a great fall, made Beatrice fell too. She got her elbow hurt. I'm so sorry Beatrice.

Luckily Jayin was in long sleeves, if not she might have her skin hurt too.

Come on, let's stand up and try again!

Shu Yin and her classmate Janelle. What a small world, they were there at the same time!

Shu Yin is a fast learner, look at her, so confident! She was able to skate on her own in her first ice-scatting experience. Mommy also cannot do that, :P.

Jayin also not bad, brave enough to walk on her own already, although not very good in skating, but I think this is pretty good already in the very first time.

Girls, mommy is proud of you!

After ice-skating, we hung around in the mall.

2 pretty mommy have a nice chat there, then go home tiredly...

给孩子上的第一堂性教育

2009-12-31T06:54:00.001-08:00

最近两个小瓜经常看电视，偶尔会有一些情节，他们是看不懂或似懂非懂的，所以我觉得有必要给他们上一堂课，免得他们胡思乱想，或有错误的诠释。

所以我就故意的挑起他们的好奇心，问他们到底知不知道是怎么有bb的？

果然他们给我的答案，让我啼笑皆非，他们的单纯实在很可爱！

舒尹：是不是，一男一女结婚了，睡在同一张床上就会有bb?

哈哈，这好像是某国家部分成人性知识调查里的一个答案（某报章曾刊登其中一个国家的成人性知识程度有提到许多成人甚至已婚人士提供这样的答案），原来部分成人只有有我女儿的一般见识。

我说：那有这么简单？（忍住笑）

舒尹：那是不是有kiss kiss, 才会有？

我说：也没那么简单。（。。。心里在偷笑）

捷尹：那是不是要脱衣服的？（欸。。。这小妞好像懂更多呢！）

我说：是的。

捷尹：那要不要脱裤子？（讲到要点了。）

我说：要。但是不是随随便便要就要的。

。。。比如说：假如爸爸要，妈妈不要就不能了，又或者妈妈要，爸爸不要也不能。

。。。还有更深的，迟点再告诉你们。

因为场合不是很恰当（我们正在饭桌上），我暂卖关子，要他们晚上睡前在床上等我，我再详细的告诉他们。

结果两个小瓜早早就梳洗干净，钻进被子里等我为他们讲解一些很重要的知识。

嗯，这环境最恰当！

我就叫老大把他的健康教育课本拿出来，4年级的课本有教关于身体的结构，还有关于体内各器官的图片，当天的主题是生殖器官，我们就只看生殖器官了。

我就很耐心的、简单化的、一步一步为他们解说。

根据图片：男性有睾丸，输精管及阴茎。

女性有子宫，卵巢及阴道。

舒尹：bb就是在子宫里长大的咯。（哦，这个老师有教过。）

我说：是的，那么bb又是怎么来的呢？

两个一起说：不懂，妈咪快点讲啦！（很紧张！）

我就很专业的指着图片，这是睾丸，睾丸会制造精子，当两夫妻在做爱的时候，男性会把阴茎放进女性的阴道，把精虫放在子宫里。女性的卵巢则会排卵，当卵子与精子结合的时候就会形成胚胎（小bb）了。

那你们有知道为什么女生会来月经吗？

两个瞪大眼睛看着我，没有回答我的意思。

我又继续说：那是因为女生每个月都会排卵一次，假如卵子没有与精子结合，那么卵子就会变成经血流出体外。

捷尹：那来月经会不会痛？

我说：通常都不会，因为那不是受伤的流血。

我也顺便教导他们如何保护自己，如何照顾阴道清洁等等的问题。

然后让他们自由发问问题，有问必答！满足他们的求知欲。

嗯，那是一个很好的交谈，我们母女的感情又跨进了一步。

我很开心为他们上了这一课，最低限度他们比某国很多的成人有知识。

哈哈o(∩_∩)o...哈哈。。。

Boe Yin in Day Care Centre

2009-06-09T17:15:00.000-07:00

To many parents, it is a cruel thing to put a baby below 2 years old in Taska. But I have to do this to my beloved son. Last month, Boe Yin's bb sitter needed to take 2 weeks leave, due to her house renovation. I started to do this cruel thing to my son...

1st day in school, he was so adventure, looked here and there, I took him to tour around the centre. Then sneaked away quietly. Called back to the centre after half an hour, teacher said no problem, he acted like own house there. Phew... Felt release...

The second day, haha... he even waved goodbye to me. What a good boy!

TengTeng Teng TENG... on the third day, he was not feeling well. So he was a bit neglected to go to school. When he reached there, he refused to get down, sticked to me like a sticker. I have to go in together with him, played together with him... for more than half an hour, he still very alert about my present, no chance to sneak at this time... I had to leave at that time, appointment was delayed and delayed. The teacher asked me to go, they can handle it. I have no choice, so I left my crying son behind...

I could hear his cry even in my car, my heart was pain, and my eyes wet... sorry my son.

I called the school half an hour later, the teacher said he was fine, I choose to believe her.

The following days... at least 3 days continuously, when we approaching the school, he started crying in the car already. He could recognized the terrace house there, smart huh!

When I observed him quietly, I found that, he actually not really crying sadly...

Because he stopped crying when he reached the door step of the classroom on the first day, the next two days he stopped crying when his teacher took him over from me, stop so fast, no tears one... hahaha.... naughty huh, this little bb boy!

Having Fun at Genting Highland...

2009-03-23T07:17:00.000-07:00

This is the very first time that we bring Boe Yin to Genting Highland, he was very happy and enjoyed very much throughout the whole journey. He was very behaved and co-operatived, besides when we were on the way home, he was crying for a while, most probably that he was feeling uneasy caused by the air pressure, when we traveled down from the mountain. After I took him out from his car seat, he was alright to sit with me, fall asleep on my body till back home.

This time Ja Yin tall enough to join this ride already, they went for this ride several time. At first, Kakak dared not go for the ride. After seeing them enjoying so much, at last she tried once.

Father and son

The last time we visited Genting Highland was 3 years ago, it was Shu Yin's birthday, she still remember that, she was not allowed to play a lot of kids ride, because of her height, and she was not able to go on many other rides, where she is not tall enough. This time she does, she wants to try every rides that she is eligible to do so, she even dares to go on roller coaster, the skyride and so on.

My first experince of playing snow...

Graduation Ceremony

2008-10-26T09:02:00.000-07:00

Time really flying so fast, I still remember the 1st day that I sent you to this school... it was 2 years ago. You were so happy to meet your good friend - Kai Xin there. Kai Xin and you were good friend since you were 4 years old. That year you were in St. Francis Kindergarden. I sent you to school every morning. Usually I would beeped you from far to see wheter you go to play at the playground or not. I would be very happy to see you playing happily around. Until one day, I saw you just sitting at the little chair by side... I was so curious, then I asked you when you came back from school, you told me that you only want to play with Kai Xin, but that day Kai Xin was absent. After that day, it seemed like Kai Xin never go back to that school, because every time I beeped you, you were not playing at the playground. One day, you came back and told me that Kai Xin would not go back to that school again. You were so disappointed.

Princes and princesses of Bunga Teratai (M) 2008

You looks very smart in the gown!

I must say thank you to your teachers in TSS, they have putting a lot of effort to train you up. I can see you have improved a lot in a lot of things... You have stopped using milk bottle when Mrs Wong told you not to do so last year. You were not picky in eating anymore, when your teacher taught you so. You understand that this world is so big, and aware of the current event happening else way - Olympic in Beijing, and the earthquake in Szechuan, China... I really proud of you, my dear!

Very soon, you are entering primary school, which is a tougher challenge in your life. I do not know how would it be. I am a little bit worry about you... you were so pampered in TSS. The teachers were so nice and so patient. You told me that you love this school very much, because all the teachers there are very nice, would not scold or beat students. I am happy to find a great school for you. Two months later, you are going to a new school, you are a big girl now. Mommy wishing you all the best and be happy in your new school. I know you were a little bit disappointed that you could not go to the same school with Kai Xin, but you have to learn to face this kind of incident, this is very common and it could not be avoid in life. Since Kai Xin is staying not far from us, two of you still can be friends. Moreover, both of you learning ballet in the same school. I wish two of you be friends forever...

Mid Autumn Festival 2008

Award Ceremony by Erican

2008-10-04T02:00:00.000-07:00

My dear, you looked gorgeous!

After you take the certificate, you were asked to give a short thank you speech which was prepared by the teachers: -" Good morning Mr. Eric Chong, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Chong Shu Yin and I am 9 years old. Learning English in Erican is fun. I love coming to Erican every week. I am sure my English will improve. Thank you, Daddy and Mummy."

It was a nice experience to train up your courage and confident. I understand that it is not easy to speak in front of a hundred people, but you did it. May be you have inherited some of mummy's gene. Keep it up, I am proud of you, my dear!
You were so nervous to stand beside Mr Eric Chong.
Look at your face, you looked like standing stiff there! Haha...

Doesn't he look handsome? Your answer was "NO!" Then I asked who is the handsome one, your answer is daddy. Daddy was so happy, that day he bought you a pair of new shoes. Haha... So now you know what to do next time when you want to ask something from your dad.

I still remember that when you were in year two, you broke you arm in school, we brought you to see a bone specialist in a hospital, after the x-rays, we found that you have a minor crack in your lower arm's bone. But you were not anxious about that, after you came out from the clinic, you asked me: " 妈咪，你觉得那个医生很handsome吗?" I was shocked at that time, but I choose to answer you as if I am your friend, "Yeah..., he is very tall, smart and man!" The doctor was a Malay guy, tall and looked very smart in formal wear with necktie on. I was so surprised that in your age of 8, you started to admire or being attrated by the opposite sex.

I also not forget that you have a little boy friend when you joined the dancing performance in school in the same year. You said he is in class 2G, and he is a clever boy. He offer you that he would like to marry you when he grow up to age 25. And you share with me some of your sweet memory with that little boy friend, where two of you share a packet of Milo with only a straw. Then he give you some souvenier and so on... I reminded you that, you should not engage to only 1 boy friend, just treat him like normal friend like others. You are still young, may be you will meet someone else in high school or in your career... My dear daughter, it is a long way to go...

School holiday 0808

Boe Yin's Birthday

2008-08-25T01:00:00.000-07:00

It's Boe Yin's 1st birthday on last Wednesday, we celebrated it on last Saturday night, with some relatives and friends, he was happy with smiling face when people sang him the birthday song.

Traditionally, we will put varieties of objects on a small table for the birthday boy to choose, the common items are book, pen, toy, apple, sweet, toy, drinks, biscuits... Every child must go through this norm when he or she turn one year old. As people says, the first thing he picks may indicate what he is in future. If he choose pen, it means he should be a knowledgeble and intelligent man in future. If he choose toy, means he would be a very playful guy...

I purposely went to 'pasar' to buy some apples on that day. At night, with the help of two sisters, we gathered the objects on the small table and let Boe Yin choose. Haha... the first thing he chosed was the yummy Lychee packet drinks, that he tried before. I believe he must be still remember the taste of the drinks and would like to have it again, so he was so happy when he saw that packet, and straight away snatched it before it has been taken away by somebody else. Usually, we would not allow him to hold packet drinks by himself, we will quickly take it away before he could reach it.

I do not know what does this indicated, but I think he is a clever boy, he was so sharp to capture the thing that he like. Anyway, we just took this as something fun to do during his birthday.

Grandpa's birthday

2008-08-10T23:19:00.001-07:00

Sport's Day at Tadika Seri Soka

2008-07-04T03:00:00.000-07:00

It was Jayin's sport day on May 10, it was a grand event. Most of the students bring their parents, brothers and sisters to attend. And you need to wear the group color, if you want to participate in the games. Jayin is in Red Group. So we needed to wear in red. For girls, it is easy to find one or two pieces red t-shirt in your wardrobe. But I just could not find one for Mr. Chong. So, our Baba Chong have to buy a new T to attend this event. Look at his happy face, I think he is happy to be in red!

This was the first time we joined Jayin's sport's day, because last year I was pregnant, so we did not attend. We were happy we did not miss it this year, it was really an enjoyable one!

Shu Yin and Jayin are looking for those red threads in between the shred papers, they need to pick them out by using the chopsticks.

Hurry up! Run faster and don't look back!

Look at our face, there are white marks that can scare away monsters, so we are safe now!

I can walk!

2008-06-22T09:09:00.000-07:00

Son, I'm proud of you!

Boe Yin is only ten months old, I am proud of him. He was different form his two sisters. He was able to stand when he is 7 mths. Both of his sisters only able to walked on their own was they were after 12 mths. But he started to stand on his own when he is 7 mths, and able to walked around a table when he is about 8 mths, now now he walks on his own!

Birthday celebration

2008-06-22T09:00:00.000-07:00

Whose birthday? In June.

It's durian cake, yummy!!! It's my favorite cake. Home made by Autie Chee Hooi.

Guess whose birthday party is this? Looks like the little boy (Jan Xu) in the center is the birthday boy. Actually, it's not. It is our eldest sister, Heng Ye's birthday. Look at the carrot cake in the plastic cover, this time the carrot cake taste better, cause the durian has sour taste this time. :p
