Interesting Facts About Xiao Tu (1)

over the past few days observing xiao tu, i came to know some of the interesting facts of her. let me see wad they are as u can see below:

1.	when she sleeps, she will always put her hands outside the wrap. muz be cos in baby’s womb that time no space, so nw wan a lot of space for movements. :D
2.	she likes to shrink and stretch her legs and when she does that, it is very difficult to change her diapers…
3.	she likes to make ‘tutu’ mouth for us to see! not only that, also ‘oh’ and ‘bian zui’!
4.	she looks like a boy to us! (no la, she is a girl :P)
5.	she has a anti clockwise erm… hair?… so it also means the nx one is a girl!?
6.	she doesn’t like to burp, it takes us forever to make her burp, ok, nt forever, she doesn’t even want to burp… hope she does not vomit milk out…
7.	if she does not have enugh milk, she will not slp. if she does not slp, she will open her eyes big big and stare at u!
8.	only at her cosy bed will she slp longer than on our bed…
9.	she likes to stick her tongue out! even zi xuan also learn from her! (ok, she learnt it from the annoying orange she watches on the ipod…)
10.	she has a pair of natural double eye lid which are very obvious, but she has no dimples… ok la, zi xuan took all the dimples from her and gave some double eye lid to mei mei, wahaha…

Kindermusik Lesson 5 - Wiggles Giggles

2nd lesson of the day for zi xuan at 5pm. tis lesson gave me a lot of impression on zi xuan during the class. maybe is becos she had too long a lesson, else she muz be hungry after having her meal at 2.30pm. but either way, let me describe wad she did during this class. (she wasn’t like this in the previous class, so some factor might hv caused her to behave this way.)

when the class started with the ‘say hello’ section, right after zi xuan’s turn, she went up to the front of teacher shauna to ‘block’ her view. for every kid teacher shauna look at, zi xuan would move to the front of her to block her view, until teacher shauna asked zi xuan why she blocking her view, then zi xuan walked away…

another instance was when playing with the frog. the toddlers are supposed to use the frog to hit 5 bells on the floor to produce a crescendo sound. a lot of kids were actually supposed to hit the bells with a frog. zi xuan is the first to go and teacher shauna carried her to play wif the bells. but wad happened was that zi xuan took up the bells instead of using the frog to hit the bells… until teacher shauna quickly pulled her hands to take the frog and hit the bells, lol… (no time la, cannot blame her… :P)

finally close to the end of the class, zi xuan decided to get cranky and wanted to get out of the class. she even took off her jacket and started to wander around the class aimlessly. she even went to the door and played with the stopper… when i tried to bring her back to join in the class, she even cried… tis was the first time she actually didnt want to play in the class… muz be she getting hungry or else is lesson too long le ba.

at the end, she still managed to get a hug and 2 chops on her arms from teacher shauna. lucky her…

Kindermusik Lesson 4 - Wiggles Giggles

today zi xuan’s lesson start at 4pm and she has another lesson at 5pm. y so early, to make up for last week’s lesson as she did not go for the lesson. also y leh, cos baby gave birth and so we wont be able to bring her down for the lesson.

today’s 4th lesson is with a different group so all the toddlers are new. i can see frm this class that the adults are more into the lesson as one of the mother, ‘volunteered’ to help to keep away the toys after kids put bck their toys into the basket. dunno is she nothing better to do or wad, nt all the kids have put back the toys yet n she juz take the basket away… -.-''' haiz… dunno y so itchy hand… anyway, lucky zi xuan is nt in this class. anyway, zi xuan still enjoys the parachute, the drums and as well as the hello and goodbye sections. she still doesn’t like the storytelling section, maybe she is juz too active to sit and listen, lol…

teacher shauna remembers that she has another lesson after tis when they hugging each other for the goodbye section, lol… n zi xuan also gotten her 3x stamps on 2 hands and her stomach. (she couldn’t get any on her legs as she was wearing pants, lol…)

财神客栈

watched this movie during baby’s confinement, lol… wad time? dun tell u! :P anyway, this movie a bit weird, they tried to make it funny and at the same time, make the fighting look good. but i see liao, the whole movie still looks weird loh… especially simi tong zi gong… sing song?… wth… guess it is supposed to be stupid? or is it really like dat?… ahhh, 2.5/5 rating for it!

2nd Day at TMC

today is the 2nd day at tmc and is supposed to be the last day too. hopefully we do not have to stay overnight for another day. today’s schedule for me is relatively simple. my parents, together with my grandma, came to visit us at 1030pm. then at 12pm, i proceeded to master long’s house to get xiao tu’s name calculated. after listening to wad master long has to say, i realised xiao tu’s life is quite good. even combined with sa de mum’s results, i think we will hv to worry about xiao tu too much in future.

anyway, sa de mum and zi xuan came to visit xiao tu n baby once again. so did my colleagues, alwin, sheng xian and joseph. as well as dengli, jolene, charmaine and her bf (i guess so). after all the visiting, i sent sa de mum and zi xuan back home. following which i went to da bao my dinner to hospital to acc baby have dinner. although by the time i reached back to the hospital, baby already finished her supper, lol… this time round not many ppl visited us as maybe it was the mid autumn festival. but we are still very happy to hv xiao tu born on the right day at the right time. :) hope in future, she will really 出人头地. alas, we rested for the night at about 3am, haha… why so late, cos we r still in US timing! :P

鬼也笑

watched this movie with baby at tmc, right after baby gave birth to xiao tu. :D dats becos we couldn’t sleep at nite, so we decided to watch tis movie to keep us awake until 3am, lol… anyway, this movie a bit lan loh… funny is funny, but then after watching a while, everything becomes a bit dull liao. although trailer shows quite good, but still dull loh. i give this movie a 2.5/5 rating for its originality ba.

Xiao Tu is Born!

we checked in to tmc at 11pm to prepare to give birth to xiao tu. below is the sequence of events that happened from the time we checked in to tmc:

11pm:-	we checked in at 11pm at the observation room. baby at that time was given the induction pill and i went down to settle the check in and payments.
1130pm:-	i went back to the observation room to see baby lying on the bed waiting (for me). today we didn’t go to the sleeping room first cos xiao tu is to be dued a few hrs after the induction.
1am:-	baby requested for epidural as contractions are starting to get wild.
150am:-	i took our stuff up to the room, 512. when i first walked in, i was wow-ed by the room, guess i was in the super deluxe single room. cos the room is incredibly big and has an additional table. so i took photos of the room. :)
2am:-	the anaesthetist came to setup the epidural for baby.
230am:-	headed back dwn to the observation room after baby called me to tell me that the anaesthetics had been given. she even told me the anaesthetist was very pretty, lol… sad, i missed the opportunity to see. :P
450am:-	checked once again for dilation and is estimated to be 6-7cm big.
510am:-	moved to delivery room.
550am:-	dr woody came in to prepare for the birth, time for xiao tu to come out soon after that.
616am:-	baby gave in the final push and finally xiao tu is born!

right after xiao tu was born, i took a few photos of her. (for photos, do proceed to my fb to take a look) at ard 7am, we went up to the room. (changed to 522 cos gt single bedded room le, sad, baby didnt managed to see the room herself) then i helped to unpack everything and not long later, i took my rest while baby was wide awake. lol… breakfast for baby came at 8am, while i still took my nap. i woke up a bit later to finish up what baby could not finish, lol…

i went to fetch baby's parents and zi xuan to tmc to see baby at abt 130pm. after dropping them at tmc, i went to collect zi xuan’s photos from StudioPlay. came back to tmc at 43pm to pick up baby’s parents and zi xuan and headed home to pack up the room. i setup the sleeping area for xiao tu b4 resting at 545pm. (just too tired to continue driving later, no choice had to nap) but who knows, one nap took me 1hr! i was like omg, 645pm already. i even needed to meet someone to trade cards at 7pm…

so while i was on my way to meet the person, baby called to tell me my parents reached already, lol… i am still on the way… quite sad to say… but nonetheless, i still managed to meet my parents and had dinner with them after they decided to go off. after dinner, i returned to tmc, packed stuffs, fill in forms and had some snacks b4 going to meet zhou gong. :)

Kindermusik Lesson 3 - Wiggles Giggles

3rd lesson at kindermusik for zi xuan. today she is on free play role. i did not restrict her to do what the teacher is teaching her to do, as i feel she should try to blend into the class and learn as much stuff on her own as possible. i will only be guiding her to learn stuff that she needs to learn and not feeding her. (i dun mean feeding food :p)

today she really enjoyed herself freely, roaming around the room interacting with the teacher and the kids. one of the best scene was that she went to kiss the glass door for a few seconds, lol... baby even saw it! :x zi xuan muz hv washed the glass door unknowingly, wahaha...

during the bubble singing session, zi xuan walked to the front of teacher shauna and was looking at what she was doing. only to be 'caught' by the teacher and did a 'bubble dance' with her. wahaha... tink she likes the teacher a lot, lol... just walking to the front of the teacher directly. i think she can blend well into classes within 2-3 sessions, so in future it will not be too difficult to send her to classes.

there was also the bubble blowing session where the teacher would call out the names and blow the bubble for the toddlers to burst it. When it was zi xuan's turn, the bubble as quite big and slowly drifting down to zi xuan. slowly, slowly, slowly... while zi xuan gotten ready to burst the bubble... yawnz~ and finally her wait was nt in vain! lol... she finally burst the bubble! (although i tot the other kids also had a hand in this...) oh well, anyway i still see zi xuan enjoying herself with that bubble burst, haha...

she is also very obedient, she keeps the toys that were used in class, like the drum sticks and the sand stones. she also asked me to drink the water that was given by the teacher, lol... when my water finish, she even wants to fill it wif her water, how fortunate to hv her ard. :)

so today at the end of the lesson, she gotten 4 stamps! 2 on her hands and 2 on her legs! the 1st time she went was to get 2 on her hands and the 2nd time i asked her to go (i remembered asking her to go hug the teacher :x), the teacher gave her another 2 stamps on her legs, lol...

oh ya, once again, she gotten her nickname, the musical girl! :D

Surprise! Not Really Surprise… :D

heh… today gave a somewhat surprise to my 2 females in the family, baby and zi xuan. although it dont seem to be like any surprise, it is still a surprise to see them happy when they do the things they like. :) baby was awarded with the mooncakes that she had ‘ordered’ thru me. :D zi xuan also had her chop when she wanted one 2 days ago, haha… so i gotten her a bee and a butterfly as she was originally nicknamed 招蜂迎蝶, wahaha… no la, cos there were no other chops that are nicer than those 2, dats y… :P i hope to give them more as the years go by and always hope to see them laugh, smile, look surprised, enjoy and nothing else. :) really really love to have them by my side. :)
