So fast, another year coming to an end. Tomorrow is a beginning of new year and there are new challenges awaiting me in 2008.
Hubby is venturing into his own business in 2008, lots of uncertainty ahead, as a wife, I must and I want to give him all the support that he need. I pray that all will go well.
Hubby also has been encouraging me to further my study so I may apply to do my PhD in 2008. A decision that I had been delaying for so many years. I have filled in the application form, buy the bank draft, write my proposal, now only left submitting the application form only. ANd I am still half hearted, should I or should I not go for it.
Whatever it is , is gonna be an exciting year ahead, with God by my side, what is there to fear? Here is to wish everyone a very blessed year ahead. May the love, joy & peace of God abound richly with each of everyone. Happy 2008!

Caroling
Carolling is part of our church Christmas event. Few nights before Christmas day, we will be going round to houses that are open for us to sing carol. Last year Qi Yu was still a new born (1 mth plus) when we took her along with us for her first Christmas carol. This year she is 13mths oledi. Qi Ning enjoy carolling because she get lots of sweet or candy! We the carollers get to feast on all the yummies food that the host prepare for us after the carol!
Last night one of the host cook spagheti for us. On the way home, we were yakking away. Then I ask Qi Ning if she enjoy her spagheti just now (she loves spagheti). Her answer melt my heart hehehe. She says "Mummy, your spagheti is better." See, so young oledi know how to "ambil hati"!
Saturday was "tong zhi" but I didn't make any "tang yuan" I only mentioned to Qi Ning about the festival so she ask me what is "tang yuan". This lazy mummy tell her will make "tang yuan" for her when she grow up a little bit more! :) Luckily she didn't have to wait for long as the host last night also have "tang yuan"as dessert!
I am so much in a holidays mood since last friday, here is to wish everybody a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

I want to be like you
It is a big responsiblity to be parents. The litttle one is watching what you are doing and following every bit of what parents are doing. My Qi Ning has been imitating me quite a fair bit and she doesn't hestitate to tell me that she wanna be like me! I often has to remind myself to try to be a good role model in every aspect for the sake of the kids who want to be like me and is real hard at time. I guess being a parent is a life long learning process!
I can see clearly how Qi Ning is following some of my way of teaching her. Qi Ning has been playing with stickers for quite sometime now and she has many book of stickers. some Winnie the Pooh, mickey mouse, snow white, and all the walt disney cartoon stickers. She loves to dish out to people and stick it all over the room's door, the dressing mirror etc. Can't remeber since when, she begins to use it as a reward. If you will to follow her instruction she would give you sticker. Sometime she will tell me, "Mummy, you listen to me and I will give you sticker, if you don't listen, I don't give you sticker!" (sound so familiar ya!) Whatever things that I have told her, she would use it on us as well.
Just last night, when we were all getting ready to sleep, hubby n I were chatting away softly on the bed. This little girl of mine start to give us instruction "Is time to sleep, sleep lah, don't talk." So really need to be careful what one say to the little one, you never know when they will use it on you! :) Such joy to be able to experience parenthood!

Thirteen Months
My baby is growing up fast. Qi Yu is now 13mths & 3 days old. This little girl of mine is a very determine girl. Once she set her mind on something, she would find her way to get it even at such a young age. She is very clingy at this stage, whenever I am around, she only wants me. If I go out of her sight she would make a fuss.
Foodwise, I am allowing her to eat some of what we are eating especailly when we are out holidaying, otherwise she is still having her home cook porridge. She doesn't like to eat egg nowadays. When she doesn't like certain food she would push it out with her tongue. She loves to feed herself. So we let her practise self feeding using finger food. We give her biscuit, sliced fruits to feed herself etc. Sometime, she would feed the food to her toys as well! :) She has seven teeth now.
She loves to follow whatever her jie jie is doing. When her jie jie is coloring , she would also gesture for us to give her paper and color pancil. even those she can't speak, she would gesture for us to give her what she wants. She use her finger to point to whatever she want and when we give her the right item she would answer "ehm,ehm,ehm". If is not something that she wnats, she would shake her head.
Qi Yu is not taking many bold step yet, she is still cruising a lot and prefer to crawl. I have seen her take one step then quickly sit down for few time oledi. She could stand on her own for quite a long time.
Her favourite game for the past two months have been "peek a boo". Whoever play that with her, she would laugh so heartily and excitedly. She is such a joy to have, I really loves her dearly.

Good ole time
It has been quite some time since I last blog and go blog hopping. Have been rather busy and was away for training and holidayings as well. Went back to my hometown for about a week. Wow, is rambutan season there, I wallop so much of rambutans. every morning, first thing after I wake up is going to backyard for my rambutans feast! This brought back so much childhood memory. Too bad I didn't have my camera as hubby took with him to China. My two girls were thrill with being able to just pluck the rambutans off the tree. My mum have two rambutans tree at home, one in front of the house and one at the backyard.
They both love going round to see the chickens, ducks..etc that are running around the neighbourhood. Show my girls durian tree, pineapple plant, went to Teluk batik etc. Of course also enjoyed eating the local delicacies.
Was good to meet up with one of my childhood friend who is also my neighbor in hometown. Usually during school holidays she would have brought her children to Singapore but this time round she was home. So we had good time together and our children were playing together quite a bit.
My sis and her family was also home during those time. So all the kids were having fun with each other. Qi Ning keep referring to my sis three sons as her prince! :) My little niece prefer to stick with us rather than her parents so my sis and her hubby is able to enjoy 2 people's world! This is the first time that I am able to spent such a long time in hometown (23-29Nov). Enjoyed every bit of it just like the good ole time. My two girls also enjoyed themselves very much, we may be heading back again this weekend, hurray!
