School Reopen

Today is the school reopen for Kendra and she was so excited that she can go back to school again after one month break. Hubby is off today and we send her to school together with her brother. The little boy is excited too as I can see that he is happily put on his bag when we told him to go to school.........!!!!!!!

When we reached school this morning, Kendra was very behaved and she was being told by one of the teacher that her new classroom is located upstairs and she is with Ms Carol's class. She keep telling me over the past few weeks that she is going to be a "big girl" and "big girl" must study at upstairs.... Her wish to be a big girl is granted....!!!!!!
Her schooling time is the same as last year. When we fetched her and guess what she told me? She ask me where is her text book....... Due to my laziness, I didn't go to the office and purchase her books and thought to settle it once by today. I never expect the teacher will start using the text book on the first day of school. She told me she is the only one that without text book in her group this morning. I feel so guilty for her........... Actually I did went to the office to purchase it but being told that they are running out of stock for the text books and the soonest I can get it is by end of this week. How I'm gonna tell her this.......gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Family" in the eyes of a 4 years old

2 scenarios below were best described the word FAMILY of my 4 years old girl.

Scenario no. 1
On last Saturday afternoon, while I'm busy washing some dishes in the kitchen and hubby walked in and told me that he need to go back to office to settle some issues. Kendra heard it and she raise up this good question to her daddy. " Do you know today is Saturday? It's weekend which is our family day....why you need to go to work". She asked with full of disappointment.

Scenario no.2
When hubby was ready to go out for a date with his friend, Kendra again not allowed him to go. She cried and begged her dad not to go and not to leave us in the house.

"Don't go out, left 3 of us in the house so "yam gong"(pity).............

When hubby was out and I asked her, why she don't let her daddy go out. Guess how she answer me?????

Kendra: In a family, must have daddy and mommy. Now daddy go out, we don't have a family already.......:((((((((( I want a family...............................

Goodbye 2009

With her best friend - Felina

M2 Class...........

She told me this pic is abt the Winx club and ultraman...hahahahha!!!!

Today is the last day of 2009 and also the last day for Kendra in Kid's Choice. She will be attending a proper school starting nest week. She has be with Kid's Choice almost 2 year. I still remember the first week I sent her to the center with lots of tears between me and her. I felt so guilty to let her in the center as that time she is only 23 months.

Time flies without notice, she is going to be 4 years old in few months later. I told her this morning that today is her last day in this center and she seems sad too. Luckily I managed to bring the camera to her nursery and seek help from her teacher to snap some pictures for her before she left.

For myself, this year gonna be a "bad" year for me. Some of you may already know how I had my hard time during labor for my son. I really hope that all the bad things I can left it behind and tomorrow onwards, it will be a good year with lots of joy waiting for me. For my fellow blog readers, I wish you all a happy and prosperous year 2010 too!!!!!

Gift From Stephanie

Finally I got back this parcel which I think it was lost in mail. I received a PM from Stephanie on last Sunday asking whether I've received the parcel that she sent out last week. I was so surprise about the gift and on the other hand, I was worried too as she told me she posted it out last week via Pos Express and the status shown from the Pos Malaysia's website was " Delivered".

I decided to wait for the postman to come and ask him about the parcel on yesterday. Around 10.30am, I received a call from a stranger and being told that she was oversea and when she returned home yesterday, she got a parcel which was belongs to me and wrongly send to her house. She would like to pass it back to me. Hoo hoo hoo...... i got it back finally. Thanks so much for this kind lady.

OK..... what is inside the package???? It's a birthday present for Kendra from this kind and thoughtful mommy...... Stephanie!!!! There are some princess stuffs inside and when I show it to Kendra, she like it so much and keep on asking me to unwrap it for her.

Once again, THANKS Stephanie!!!!!

The Backyardigans

Yes.... The Backyardigans, this is the latest cartoon show Kendra like to watch lately other than Shrek and Dora. Hubby got her the full version of session 1 and with the portable DVD player her grandpa bought her, she keep watching it on her leisure time. Among the 5 characters, she like Uniqua the most. As for myself, I like this cartoon series too. The wonderful animation and lovable characters make me can't resist to keep watching it just like a big toddler....LOL!!!

Early Birthday Celebration

Time flies and Kendra will be turning 3 years old next month. We had an early birthday celebration for her this year because her daddy is leaving to India by today and it's too short of time to prepare her birthday dinner when he is back later.

We planned to celebrate for her this Saturday and nothing much different from past years. No birthday party has threw for her even a small one, just a simple dinner with my parents and sister. Since we can't bring her for the Princess on Ice show, so we decided to have a "Fairy" theme on her birthday. Let her be a "Fairy" for a day.

She was so looking forward to her big day. After breakfast, we went home to dress her up with her princess dress and have some photos shooting. She really enjoy being a fairy and keep on playing with her magic wand.

At night, we had our dinner at the Chinese Restaurant that we used to dine in. During the dinner, the little fairy can't wait to cut her cake and rush us to finish our dinner in short time. She was so happy when we sang her the birthday song and cut the cake.

After dinner, we had a drink at the newly open cafe at Ipoh Garden....Josephnie! This was my first visit and I like the atmosphere there very much. The captain (maybe the owner) overheard our conversation and got to know that it's Kendra birthday. She presented us a cup of jelly (yes, jelly cake again) with a candle on it and guess what???? the jelly cupcake is on the house.... hahaha!!! Kendra told us that she was very happy yesterday.....!!!!

more photos here.........!!!!!!!

Present from her gong gong......
Present from her Auntie Terry..... a handbag from Joules and a coin purse from Marks & Spencer

KL Day Trip

We supposed to bring Kendra for the Princess On Ice show next week but due to some unexpected circumstances, we have to cancel the show and change our plan to a day trip to KL. Kendra was not feeling well early in the morning. She can't finish her milk and vomited after she took her milk.

I advised her not to follow us since she was not feeling well but she insisted to go with us because she wish to collect her cake by herself. So, we got no other choice but to bring her along. She slept well once she got into the car and had some bread when she woke up. When we are almost reach the toll exit, again she vomited. I'm so worry about her condition.

We head to One Utama straight from the highway and it's almost lunch time when we were there. We had our lunch at Dragon-I and Kendra's seems ok when she reach the mall. She told me that she felt better and no more the vomiting feeling.... Great!!!! We started our window shopping then and headed to The Curve after that. She had a great time playing the slide there while mommy was shopping alone. I'm so happy that I finally found the Princess dress with Magic wand for this little girl. She was so excited when I showed her the dress. After a few hours of shopping (walking non stop), I felt so tired and asked hubby to drive me home. Before we were leaving, of course we need to collect the princess's cake and this is the main purpose we were visitng....hahahah!!!!

No to Feeding Bottles

Bravo........ another big achievement from my princess before she turn 3 years old next month. She don't want to drink her milk from the milk bottles but in her cute Hello Kitty mug. At first, she only took 1.5-2 oz of milk per feed and I feel so tired to persuade her to finish her milk every time. At first, I thought she get bored with her current milk powder and thought of changing it after all my stock is clear later.

Before I move on to change her milk powder, I try to prepare her milk in the newly bought Hello Kitty mug and what surprised me was she finished the whole cup of milk within couples of minutes. After that she told me that only babies have their milk from bottles and she is a big girl now, so she must drinks from the cup.

I thought problems was solved since her milk intake is back to normal. But lately, she told me that she get bored with the cup and demand for a new My Melody or Keroppi mug........ So, mommies out there, if you came across any nice mug, please let me know ya!!!!!

** Stay tune for the Avent Bottles sales by me!!!!!!!**

Princess On Ice

This is the show Kendra wanted to watch it for long as I keep on telling her that we will bring her for the show as her 3 years old birthday present. Too bad, hubby need to travel on that day when the show is held and in other words, our plan is canceled due to this.

I found that it's hard for me to tell her this bad news as she is so looking forward to the show. When I'm cleaning her this morning before send her to nursery, I started the conversation with her. I told her that daddy need to go to work and we can't bring her for the show but we will still buy her a present and the Barbie Doll cake on her birthday.

Surprisingly, she looked at with a smile and told me that "OKAY, we don't go for the show"..... then hug me with a big kiss. I felt so warm at that moments and keep on smiling in my heart when I think about it. My girl make me feel so proud of her and I can't wait to call hubby and let him know that our girl has grown up so much.

Her Masterpiece

This is what she sketch on her Doodle Pro while mommy was busy MSN-ing.......

According to her, from left to right...... Daddy, Mommy and Kendra!!!!! wahahahah

Other than Daddy

Kendra used to have her nap at the living hall everyday. Her nap time normally is from 3pm to 7pm.

One day, while I'm busy preparing dinner at the kitchen and I thought Kendra was still having her nap at the living hall, our main gate was open and that's hubby who came back from work. Kendra was awake by that time and she peek from the sliding door and she knew that her daddy was back. She quickly ran to kitchen and told me this.........

Kendra: Oh Pei Mun (yes, she called my full name), your lou kong (hubby in cantonese) is back.

I was shocked when I hear what she said and ask her to repeat the sentence again. Yes, she told me my hubby was back from the office. Now only I realized other than daddy, she knew another role of her daddy in the family........... MY HUBBY!!!!!!!

She is HEATY!!!

After our dinner last night, I took out a bottle of Yakult for Kendra as a reward to her for finished up her dishes. While she was happily enjoying her Yakult, my mom took out the bowl of fruits for us. When she saw it, she quickly run to my mom and demand for the fruits while she still haven't finished her Yakult. I sound her and told her that she can't have the fruits as this will cause her stomachache if she took too much of cold food. Guess how she answer me...?????

"You try to see my lip, it's soooo RED........ means I'm heaty!!!!! I need to take some fruits or "leong sui" (some chinese drinks to cool down the body).........

We all were so surprise by her response and laugh non-stop after heraing it........ Now only I realized that my girl grow up a lots.....LOL!!!!!

Madagascar Fever

Yupe...... Madagascar is her 2nd favourite after Shrek. When she first saw the Madagascar II advertisement on TV, she was so excited and keep on singing "I like to move it, move it......" Until her grandpa came and ask me what she want actually.... LOL!

I got a copy of the latest catalog of Tupperware and so happy to see the Madagascar items. Without think twice, I drove to the nearest Tupperware office with Kendra to grab the items. Initially, I just want to get a set of the tumbler and the One Touch Topper set. Too bad that the One Touch Topper set is a PWP item and need to spend RM50 from this range to get it. So, I thought of going home with empty hands since I don't have the intention to get 4 tumbler just for the One Touch Topper. Kendra was so disappointed when I told her that we are going home without any purchase of the Madagascar items. She start to show her pity face and keep sitting on the floor and don't let me to bring her home. The shop owner can't stand to see her pity face and allow me to purchase the One Touche Topper set without the required purchase amount. She was happily home with her "Alex" tumbler at the end.

Other than the Tupperware items, we lso get her the toys from McDonald. So far, only collected 3 pcs and still waiting for the others to be release. And the cute hairband is from McDonald too!

We brought her to the cinema on last Sunday for the show and she was so excited. Before this, I had told her that when we go to cinema, we will have pop corn, cheezel, coke....... that's why she is so looking forward to the show. After the show when we were walking to the car park, She told her daddy :"Tomorrow we come again ar...." Hubby and I can feel how she enjoy herself for the show and promise her to get her the DVD once it's available.

She is Diapers Free

It has been a week Kendra didn't put on any diapers for the past one week. At first, I'm scare to take off her diapers at night as I haven't get any waterproof sheet to start get this big project started. But, from my observation over the past few weeks, her diapers were dry on the next day morning. Hubby insisted to take off her diapers and give it a try.

We will asked her to go to the toilet before she go to bed and when she wake up in the next day morning, we will ask her to go to the toilet again. Phew!!!! She did it without fail for the past one week and we are so proud of her.

Now, my problem is how to get rid of the left over diapers in my store room. Maybe will sell it below the market price...... wait for my post ya!!!!

She Want To Be A Good Girl

After I told her that I don't like to hear the "Sorry" from her, this is what she will said when she did a mistake now.



This is the conversation between us........

mommy: tell mommy....... what??
Kendra: I don't want naughty girl already.
mommy: then what you want?
Kendra: I...I..... I want be a good girl already............ I want listen to mommy daddy!
mommy: who naughty just now?
Kendra: I....
mommy: who naughty just now
Kendra: Kendra......
mommy: so now Kendra want to be a......???
Kendra: Good girl
mommy: listen to who??
Kendra: listen to mommy daddy
mommy: promise ar..... promise
Kendra: I promise......
mommy: you want to be a.....????? (to reassure)
Kendra: GOOD GIRL!!!!

Huggies Tent

Hooray!!! Finally I managed to redeem this tent for Kendra before the closing date. A big thanks to Amanda and Macy who willing to share with me their polybags so I don't need to buy another bags of diapers just for the redemption. Since Kendra only put on her diapers at night and I think my current stock are really a lots to me. Only the Mamy Poko pants, I think there are at least 10 packets in my room.

See, Kendra was so happy with her new tent until you can't see her eyes in one of the photo below..... hahahah!!!!

Sorry

Kendra like to apologize to me lately even for some small things... "Sorry mommy, sorry mommy" always the words from her mouth. I didn't mean that I don't like her to apologize when she did a mistake, I just wish that she will know her mistake and don't repeat it again. Not by saying a word of Sorry and forget about her mistake.

Yesterday when we are about to sleep, hubby was playing with Kendra. Suddenly, she beat her daddy because daddy sleep on her pillow. Then hubby pretended crying by the hope Kendra will 'sayang' him but Kendra still don't bother him. Hubby got no way to go but saying sorry to his princess. Guess what is Kendra answer????

Kendra: Sorry no cure!!!!!!!

Hahahaha......... this is my answer to her everytime she apologized to me. Hubby and I laughed non stop after hearing her answer.
