When we were young, we go places via public transport aka bus. But nowaday, almost every household have cars so travelling on bus become a novelty. Qi ning has requested to go on bus for a couple of time since last year. So on Saturday, we took a bus ride down to cnetral market. The two girls enjoyed the ride very much and Qi ning wanted to requested to go on another bus ride on Sunday!
I haven't gone on the bus ride for soooo long myself. If given a choice I prefer the comfort of private car. It took more than an hour from Puchong to Cnetral market and the stop and move cause me headache. But it is all worth all since the gilrs enjoyed it. Is an experience for them. MAybe when Qi Yu is bit older we will have another go at taking bus down town.

Hospitality
Qi Ning loves loves to have visitors. Very often she would ask why isn't so and so visiting us and ask if we could get her cousins to come to her house.
Last night, one of the church friend came for a visit. She was very happy. After greeting the guest, she went to the kitchen. I was wondering what she wants to do. I saw her pulling a chair and climb up to take a cup and starts pouring water. At first I thought she wanted to have a drink of water. Only later I found out that she wanna served the guest!
My maid was telling me that if there were visitors, Qi Ning would tell her to serve drinks, I guess now instead of asking the maid, she decides that she is big enough to do the serving herself! My girl is growing up.

Catching up
Yesterday was an extra ordinary day for me. A very good friend of mine whom I have not seen for almost two years now came to meet me for lunch at my office. Then another two very good friends of mine who was my ex-colleague & exstudent came to my office and suprise me with an early birthday celebration with cake from Secret recipe! She stays in Melaka and since she was coming this way, she wanna surprise me. Indeed I was very touch by their visits.
Today, another of my old friend called and we had a good chat as well.

Changes
Someone say the only thing that is constant is "change". I think with the increase in fuel prices, many changes will have to take place for income earners! For a start, I have slow down my speed since I was told that driving at 80-90km/h is most fuel economical. Heehehe, i feel like an old lady driving when I am driving at such speed where I used to go at 100-120km/hr. We also try not to swich on the air-con at home so often. Use to have it on for the whole night.
Have been feeling so comfortable at my currently work place even though it is far from my home, I still hardly consider looking for a job nearer to home . I stay in Puchong but work in Nilai. With the increase in petrol price, I got to start thinking about work place again, is it worth paying RM500-600 per month on the fuel?
I have been offered a place to study PhD in university of Malaya for the July intake, so hubby is saying to pursue my PhD, try to get a job with the university. Changes again. So many thought is going through my mind, to study or not to study? The thought of continuing the study is both exciting and scary. Exciting as it is always my dream to do a PhD, scary because I don't know if I have what it take to complete it!
I don't know how it is going to be if I have to work and study and having to have time for my two girls. As it is I already feel guilty of not being able to spent enuf time with my girls as a working mum. As a counselor, I heard lots of sad story about poor/bad family relationship, parents & children, husbands & wives..etc. Enough for me to alway keep a look up for my own relationship with my girls and husband. and that make me feel guilty sometime. Thoeritically, I know what should be done but sometime I just don't practice what I know 感觉有心无力. That's bad I know that's why I feel sorry for my girls sometime that I don't spend enough time with them and leave the maid to do thing for them.
Looks like I have to face more changes ahead of me!

One Year Seven months
So fast my Qi Yu is gonna be one year seven months old tommorrow. This little girl of mine is such a sweet heart. I just loves her.
Shae has grown taller and her has got more teeth now. She can speak quite well for her age. Many have commented that her words are very clear, even stranger can understand her sentence. She speaks in simple sentences nowadays. She will compete with her jie jie and learning the concept of "be number 1." She can sings lots of songs now. But she will not sing for you if she don't want to. She has a mind of her own.
Her favourite phases at the moment are "I don't want", "No", "Mummy Up". I loves to hear her speak and sing songs. Her voice is so soft and sweet, really will melt your heart especailly when she put her arm around me and say "i love you mummy". That really make my day.
One thing she dislike is ZZZZZZZZz. Each night, when is time to sleep, she would try to delay and fight to stay up as late as she can. She only goes to sleep at 10pm nowadays. Her afternoon nap often is cut down to one, only sometime she would take two naps.
Still quite a shy girl. When there is some people whom she is not very familiar, she would be very quiet and stick to me. Still would not let other people hold her except immediate family members.
Still loves to imitate her jiejie in whatever she does. Weight wise still pretty much the same but definitely grwon taller.
she is a sweet darling.

Bandung & Jakarta
Have been really busy for the past few weeks till I have no time to blog and blog hop. In the midst of the busy schedule, I managed to escape to Bandung & Jakarta for 6 days (30April-6May). It was indeed a welcomed escaped! Good thing I booked the holidays early in the year if not, this escape would not have taken place.
We went as a family and let the maid go back to her kampung. We stayed 1 night in Bandung then my friend send his driver to pick us up to Jakarta. We spent 4 nights with my freind Min and his family. He took us to the Sarafi in Puncak which was really good. Then we travel back to Bandung on our own and spent another night in Bandung before fly back.
Bandung is really a shopping heaven, even a none shopper like me likes shopping there. Wish I had spent 1 more day there to shop!
One not very good thing about this holidays is that we all have food poisoning of some sort. My two girls lost weight from the trip. Qi Ning started to vomit from the second day, hubby down with purging. Me and baby girl caught the germs on the last day and carry it back with us. Thank God we are all well now.
Will post some photos of the trip soon.

My girl is growing up fast!
Qi Yu turns 17 months two days ago. This little girl of mine is growing up so fast and brings so much joy to us. She is speaking so much nowadays and can speak a simple three or four words sentences. She just absorb everything she hears like a sponge and imitate what she hears. She loves to sing and can sing these songs "baa baa black sheep" "haleluya praise the Lord" Happy birthday" “我要依靠神” by herself.
Her favourite book at the moment is the "big bird" book. Everyday she would bring the book and ask me to read to her.
She is jie jie Qi Ning big time follower. Whatever the jie jie is doing she would follow suits and wnat to have what Qi Ning is having or doing. When Qi Ning sit on my laps, she would come around and push Qi Ning away or she would say "ecuse (excuse) me jie jie", fighting for mummy.
She still struggle with sitting on her car seat despite the fact that we put her on car seat since birth. She will try wiggle out of her car seat by requesting to nurse. Last week, when hubby was out of the country, I told her mummy have to drive the car and she has to sit in her car seat. She protest at first then subsquently she comply, murmuring to her self, "mummy drive car". So the few day when hubby was away, she sit in her car seat without a fuss. Now with hubby around, she starts protesting again, wanting to sit with mummy.
She is half way down the road of being toilet train. She goes diaperless during the day time. Sometime she would tell when she wants to pee but sometime she just forgot. She will definitely tells us when she want to poo. Only night time, she is still on diaper.
Not sure why her teeth has holes in some of them. took her to see dentist, dentist say nothing to be of concerm! Mummy reckon she lack cqalcium as she doesn't drink much milk during day time. She nurse through the night though.
Day by day my girl is growing and much joy she brings!

I need a wheel chair
Yesterday was not a good day for Qi Ning. Not sure whether is because she is tired or what, she seems to lose her balance easily and had a few fall within one hour. Her lip was badly bruised. In the evening, we went out for dinner with some church friends. Upon reaching home after dinner , she showed us a cut on her right foot! another mishap for the day. It was quite a bit cut, I don't know how she substain that. She said it happened when we first arrived at the restaurant but she didn't mention anything to us while at the restraurant.
I apply some iodine for her and she requested to be carried to her bed as the cut was on the sole of her foot and is painful. So we obliged. After we changed her, we were lying down on the bed for a chat before we sleep, she was telling me how painful it was. And she told me she need a wheelchair now because it is too painful to walk. I had a good laugh with her request!

Hide and seek
Hide N Seek, this is one game that kids never get tired of. Even my Qi Yu is catching on with it lately. She would tell me to hide and her favourite hide-out is behind the door. Each time when she meant to hide, you will find her behind the door and she would try to find other people behind the door as well.
Another of her favourite hide-out is the big sofa. She just get so much kick out of this simple hide and seek game. Mummy loves to play with her and the jie jie also like to join in the fun.
I guess is the "wow" effect that is contagious!

Qi Yu's development
Qi Yu is picking real quick with words. Lately she has been saying simple rhyme. I was surprise that she could say it on her own, of course missing a line /words here and there. One of her favourite is "rain rain go away, Qi Yu want play!" She could also sing burung kakak tua and say some of the Indonesian rhyme such as "Cicak cicak di dinding"; "pelangi song" courtesy of my Indonesian maid.
She is not a chatter box type. Many people comment that she looks more like a thinker as she often appear to be thinking hard on things that people say to her. I guess she is absorbing all that is happening around her and when she is ready only will she reveal it! Just like when she was learning to walk, she didn't attempt to walk very much till she is fairly confident of herself then she took all the bold step. Now that she can walk quite steadyly, she is attempting to run!

Clever girls
Really, I am often very amaze by my two girls. Below are some incidents that took place two night ago.
It was drizzling outside and Qi Yu was at the door wanting to go out and take umbrella. Then I remembered we had a small umbrella tuck away somewhere. Since I only had one of those, so I told both girl to share. (Had to clear this or else two girls will end up fighting for it). Each is to take turn playing with it. After while Qi Yu refused to share. when she was supposed to pass the little umbrella to her Qi Ning, she went and took the toy train instead and give to her sister! I have a good laugh, so young oledi know how to get her way!
Last sunday, we were having dinner with my brother's family. Qi Ning was dressed in pink and had a pink hair band. My sister in law was teasing her.
SIL: Qi Ning, your hair band is so beautiful, can I borrow it for a while.
QN: Not matching (SIL was wearing blue T Shirt), see I wear pink, pink and pink only matching!
SIL: never mind, I just want to try.
QN: cannot, not matching not nice!
What a clever way of saying no!

Sixteen months old!
My little missy (Qi YU) is turning 16 mths old today. She is one checcky little girl that brings much joy to my life! She is so muc fun now as she can response quite well to our instruction and can hold a simple conversation with her. What I like best is when I ask a question related to her she would answer me with her sweetest voice and sometime couple with a cheecky smile.
Me: Who is a good girl? or Who is mummy's precious girl? Who wanna go playground?
QY: Qi Yu......!
When she wants something from you, she would stretch out her hand towards you and say "may I, may I " till you fulfill her request. She likes to imitate her jiejie.
She went on a milk stike after CNY, fortunately she is slowly going off the strike last two days. Beginning to drink her milk when I am not at home by using her jiejie's bottle. She shows the maid Qi Ning's bottle and in her own way communicated to the maid that she wants her jiejie's bottle. So for the past two days, my maid has been giving her milk in Qi ning's bottle and she finish it! She is getting quite good in communicating her desire and we can understand most of her requests.
When she wanna do big business, she will say "poo poo" since two weeks ago but still don't know how to tell us when she want to pee. Often only tell us after she wet her pants then she would tell us "Qi Yu wet wet"
She can walk quite steadily now and wanna walk everywhere by herself, refused to be hold. Soemtime it seem like she is trying to run then walk. I have to remind her to walk slowly and take one step at a time.
She hasn't put on weight for quite sometime, still remain at 9kg plus, grow slightly taller at 76cm now. She is one active girl.

To stop or not to !
Qi Yu is 15mths plus, going to be 16mths soon. Lately, since the CNY holidays, she has been refusing to drink her milk during the day time. The whole day when I am away she absolute drink no milk. She is also not a good eater hence not gaining weight much. She only want me to nurse her at night especially just before she sleep. Maybe because she is getting very mobile these day and are more keen to move around then to eat.
Since she is not drinking any milk during the day time, I am thinking to stop expressing milk at work and just let her nurse directly after work. Anyway my production is very low nowadays. But on the other hand, I worry she don't take enuf milk as she totally reject milk powder. If I stop expressing at work and she starts to want to drink milk during day time then I have no spare for her. The milk inventory at home is quite low now as I have reduce the pumping session at work to only one time. And now this lazy mummy is thinking of totally no pumping at work!

Breastfed will breastfeed!
I saw these wording in one of the lactation consultant clinic "breast fed will breast feed". It was with a picture of a little girl imitating her mother who was breastfeeding a baby. I saw this in my two girls. I breastfed Qi Ning till she was about 18mths and is still breastfeeding my Qi Yu who is 15mths old.
When Qi Yu was still a baby, each time when I am breastfeeding Qi Yu, Qi Ning (about 2 year plus) would also take a dolly and sat beside me and breastfeed her baby. Now is my Qi Yu's turn, two days ago, after I nurse her, she stood up and hold up a soft toy saying 'rabbit want nen nen". She then proceed to pull up her shirt and pretend like she is breastfeeding the soft toy! I was having a good laugh seeing the scene. Only 15 mths and she is imitating mummy! I must try to capture one of this moment on camera one day. Is really amazing to see how little one imitate the action of the parents. I hope when they have their own baby, they would breastfeed them too!

Do you love me?
Qi Ning is gonna be 3 years 5 months old tomorrow. She is going thru a very sensitive stage at the moment where she would querry our love for her. Whenever I say to Qi Yu "I love you Qi Yu" she would immediately ask "why you don't love me." I have to assure her that I love her just as much.
During the recent CNY, she was quite a teary case when at my SIL place. She somehow is fearful of my SIL's husband, to the extend that she refused to come out of the guest room and if we make her come out of the room she would cry. Even her favourite treat of "longan/lychee" cannot draw her out of the room. She rather not eat then to have to meet with her "da gu zhan". Each time when I manage to lure her out of the room, when she see him she will be tearing and immediately goes upstair. This is the first time my girl is behaving as such and she rather end her holidays sooner than staying extra day at her "da gu" home. I guess maybe he scared her earlier on when he was in KL. He wanted to hold her and Qi Ning was telling him" I am four year old" . Her way of telling people please don't carry me but he miss the message and proceed to hold her up. Immediately she burst into tears.
Generally she is quite an independent girl except being emotional lately. She can dress and undress herself. Feed herself and do many self care thing by herself but form time to time, she would want mummy to do for her. Sometime she still want me to carry her like baby especially just before bed time.
Heven't sent her to Kindy yet but daddy is teaching her some alphabet. She is doing quite well. Overall I am happy with her development. She is a good girl and I do love her dearly.

Fun Stage
Qi Yu is now at one of the most fun stage to play with. She is rsponsive and would mimic after you. She turns 15mths on the first day of CNY. The other day when I was at my sis-in-law place, I was calling out for hubby asking him if he is ready for dinner and Qi Yu also follow me and shout out her daddy's name. Everybody who heard it was laughing as she speaks so loud and clear her daddy's name!
Qi Yu is on the slimmer side. Everybody comment that she is gonna be slim and tall when she grows up. I don't know how they predict but maybe by looking at her built. Qi Yu is not as good a eater as her jiejie. She only eat a few mouthful then she would shake her head and stop eating liao. Still don't drink much milk, whole day is still 150-180ml. Still fully on breast milk. I am trying to introduce milk powder to her but she don't like it.
Height wise she is 76Cm, weigth wise still at 9kg.
Language wise she is speaking a lot more and it seem like Malay is becoming her predominant language as kakak is spending more time with her than mummy (mummy is feeling guilty about this). Whenever I ask her if she want anything, she ould answer "mau" (meaning yes in Malay). Sometime I would hear her pointing to her body part and name them in Malay. Her favourite body part is kaki (leg). I often see her point to her leg and say "kaki". Her vacabulary has definitely blossom lately and she loves to repeat after us.
Emotionwise, she is showing more variety of emotion such as fear, jealousy, anger, cheecky faces. At such a young age, when she sees someone crying, she would move forward trying to comfort people and tell the person "don't cry". When reading one of her favourite book, she would point to the crying monkey and tell me, "monkey cry". She is still stranger shy.
Dunno whether is just mummy or really she is beginning to knows one and two. Yesterday, on the way back from hometown, I was asking her how many teddy bear she is holding and she answered "two", which is the correct no. The maid was laughing away. I tried testing it agian, took away one of the bear and ask her immediately but she was distracted by other things so I can't confirm.
Oh yes, what mummy loves is nowadays is her massage. When I lie down on my stomach, I ask her to massage for me she would pat my back, really nice to feel her little hand on my back, so gentle and relaxing! She learns the massage from Qi Ning. Mummy now can enjoy free massage at home!
Qi Yu is on the slimmer side. Everybody comment that she is gonna be slim and tall when she grows up. I don't know how they predict but maybe by looking at her built. Qi Yu is not as good a eater as her jiejie. She only eat a few mouthful then she would shake her head and stop eating liao. Still don't drink much milk, whole day is still 150-180ml. Still fully on breast milk. I am trying to introduce milk powder to her but she don't like it.
Height wise she is 76Cm, weigth wise still at 9kg.
Language wise she is speaking a lot more and it seem like Malay is becoming her predominant language as kakak is spending more time with her than mummy (mummy is feeling guilty about this). Whenever I ask her if she want anything, she ould answer "mau" (meaning yes in Malay). Sometime I would hear her pointing to her body part and name them in Malay. Her favourite body part is kaki (leg). I often see her point to her leg and say "kaki". Her vacabulary has definitely blossom lately and she loves to repeat after us.
