Hmm...Genes from Jean? :p

Any resemblance? ... tell me "YES"!!!!

Papa's Effort - The Passport... again....

I wanna share with all, her papa's effort.... yes.. the passport saga again.. haha.. anyway.. papa was stucked to his PC last nite.. and I was wondering what he was doing the whole nite! Still so engrossed with Keira's passport pics and finding them entertaining ...... papa re-visited the pics.... and here is what's been keeping him busy the w-h-o-l-e nite !!! ....

Keira slurped Mr Dentinox! OMG...!!!

I just wanna roll my eyes about Mr Dentinox and Ms Keira the Terror....... the story goes like this...

So I bought Mr Dentinox last Friday, and on that same nite I applied some on Keira just so she can have a good nite ZZzz.... but... guess what... when I tried to apply Mr Dentinox on her gums, Keira started slurping all up with her tongue! *faint*

Did she think I was applying some yummy gello on her???? arrghh.... *faint*

Anyway, over the next 2 days... same thing happened... Keira happily slurp every bit of Mr Dentinox up in a split second! OMG... I wonder if Mr dentinox had a chance to create any value in her! Up till today, I have yet to see any tooth sprouting out of her gums... although like what my dear mum said, her gums are indeed "hard" .... haha....

Oh, I have not been able to post on Sat and Sun...
Sat - went to IMM in the morning, but had very bad headache that started late morning! Well, I wasn't sure if it's my migraine relapse or due to 1st knock by Keira's pacifier + 2nd knock by bathroom curtain rod!

Sun - went out with Keira n her papa to Bugis Junction and Icon at Bugis...after that went to granny's house. By the time we got home, Keira already Zzzz.. and I had time to catch up on HK Movie Awards.. haha

However, I do have some pics to post here... taken on Sat n Sun.. Enjoy!

Sat early morning... papa put on his own cap, and decided to put on a cap for Keira too!

Sun morning... papa took out and washed the "plastic fruits" we bought for Keira... look at them! hehe....

and I think Keira loves her banana.... afterall....

Sunday Afternoon... after mama got a little better from her headache... we dolled Keira up (a think we dolled her up la and hopefully everyone else thought so too :p)... and headed for Bugis!

Papa n Mama...having MOS Burger.. and Keira... trying to grab whatever she could reach! haha....

Well prepared mama... took out Keira's teething rusk... and Keira happily chewing it...hehe...

Mr Dentinox... Help my gal...

*sigh*
Am I such a bad mum or what...
Last nite, Keira was sleeping soundly by about 8pm... but started fussing in her room at 10pm...I went to check on her and she started crying, yelling at the top of her voice.."mama...mama...mama...arrghhh...mama..." .. (I think her called mama... hmm....)anyway.... so I tried to pat her to ZZzz... but she just couldn't stop! I carried her but she yelled even louder and bent her whole body backwards (like gymnastic) and I just cldn't comfort her! I told myself, she could have had a nightmare (a really bad one, must be!) ... so I carried her, comfort her...did whatever I can.. 1) sing, 2) carry & walked fast 3) pacifier ... and this went on for about 40 mins ... until she finally ZZzz... in my arms...

Today, I asked my fren (whom I knew from forum whose sweet gal is a day older than Keira) and she told me Keira could be feeling uncomfortable due to teething...and suggested that I apply dentinox on her gums to soothe her !! O-M----GOD! -- I have TOTALLY forgotten that this could beeeeeee the REASON! O-M---GOD- Goodness---GOD...!!! How could I have??? That moment, I felt so terrible about myself! My poor gal, she must have "suffered" so much discomfort for the past few days coz I simply, conveniently just did not even think abt T-E-E-T-H-I-N-G! OMG.
Thank goodness, my fren suggested that I get Dentinox and keep her calm from now onwards... that will really help soothe her! Immediately, I called my mum - got her to check on Keira to see if her gums were red etc... mum's replied was "her gums are hard" ... --- "HARD"??? what's that supposed to mean? Gosh! Mum calmly replied "hard" means teeth going to pop out sooonnn... Arrghh.. that's it! I am definitely going to get DENTINOX!

Mr Dentinox ... I am going to get YOU for my baby!

Keira and her cousin Karin..a pair of Jokers!

At Karin's house to pick up my little Keira this evening... and noticed that my dad put on Karin's hairband on Keira's head! Funny but I tot was cute...

And while i was snapping pics of Keira, ......my little niece Karin.... well.... as usual, wanted me to take pics of her!!!... and she even tried to 抢镜头 ... haha.... and check out poor Keira's face..... kanna squashed! haha... look at my poor Keira's eyes too.... *faint*

















And then... Karin took back her hairband..... and...look at what she did to herself... *faint* *faint*

In fact... Karin is rather sweet-looking.....minus all her 'trying-to-be-funny' faces! She is really adorable when she is obedient.. ;-). Very sensible too sometimes... eg. when Keira cries, she will tell her.. "lele... dun cry" ... or she will always want to kiss Keira... "enthusiastically"!!! It's also funny how Keira reacts her to cousin sometimes... just staring blankly at her while she was dancing, crying... just name it...











Looking at how sweet both of them were this evening... I can't resist the temptation of snapping a group foto... with....... well, the 2 Jokers! ....
arrghhhh.....................look at them....!!!! One trying to be funny eating her mini-cone ice cream while the other... trying to be funny showing me her side profile! *can die* man!

Video: Keira claps

When Keira is happy and excited... she claps!

Video: Karin talking to Me (her 姑姑)

My niece, Karin. Talking to me... trying to be nice and convincing me to buy her bubble tea! :-)

Papa vs Mama (the passport foto debate)

We had a mini debate over Keira's passport photo this evening. As you can see from my earlier blog, there really isn't that many "good" pics to select from... and both hb and I selected our preferred ones..... so.. here are our selections..... arrghhhh... we debated over which one to use for her passport application.... and... the verdict... is......

Mama's choice vs Papa's choice


...... papa's choice!!!! Ok, I know Keira smiled in that pic, and she looks lively and happy... but look at her TONGUE!!!... she twisted her tongue! Do you think the immigration will accept this pic? Doesn't she look like she is trying to be funnie?

Keira's 1st trip to IKEA

We brought Keira the Terror to IKEA. She is always so excited the moment we walk out of our house door..always........ she knows we are bringing her out and she loves it - big time!

We had our late lunch at IKEA restaurant... ordered our fav chicken wings... as usual.... and Keira just couldn't keep her itchy-hands off our plates! Look at those "intense" eyes of hers... drooling over our plate of yummy chicken wings!

haha... well... all she could have then was a --- banana! hehe

hmm... her head looks kinda big here ya?

maybe I should work on my photo-taking skills ... well.... next time I will ask her papa to take instead... keke

After lunch, we started our shopping! Guess what... haha... we tried putting Keira onto the ikea cart!... ta ta... she's on it! very stable too! haa... Papa was busy going through the bathroom stuff.... while Keira was fiddling with the metal parts of the high-chair that we have gotten for her!

There she goes.... her usual "kay poh" self... now looking at what papa is doing..... *faint*

Trying very hard....taking passport pics of Keira! arrgghhh...

Going to *faint* ......

Hb and I have been trying to take passport pics of Keira since Sat... and then Sun... and these are some of the "results" !!!!

Was she trying to be funny? ... very funny indeed!

Keira weighing 8kg at 7mths 4days old

Weighed Keira this evening and she has only put on 500gram over past 1 mth. Looks like I have to wait awhile more before I can invest in a front-facing car seat for my little terror. The "official" weight to qualify for front-facing car seat is 9kg...so I'd need to wait...
These 2 days, Keira has been rather obedient seating behind in her infant car seat. All I did was to give her fav-green-guitar-shaped teether before I drive, and I can see her entertaining herself, through the reflection from rear mirror. To encourage her good behaviour, I praised her right after we got off the car, although she probably doesn't understand what I am telling her . Doesn't matter... as long as she build this good behaviour, I am happy .
Lately, I have also been reading to Keira before bedtime. Over the past few nites, I have been reading the same book - entitled Mr Perfect! haha... as in... Mr Perfect, Mr Greedy, Mr Smiley etc etc... and yes, not kidding... this book is so simple with cute pictures of Mr Perfect and his story that I think it's good to read to Keira and for her to just look at these cute pictures of Mr Perfect! Afterall, being a mummy... I would hope Keira will be Miss Perfect someday..haha... Oh, the best part is, Mr Perfect book costs only $1 haha... cheap and good! Keira loves the book, she will let out a cutie laugh when I pass her the book...not sure what is the real reason but definitely not because of the story I was trying to read to her...

Yesterday, I went to bro's house to pick Keira back home... while there, I carried Keira for a while before getting my dinner... interesting enough... I was going to put K down on the sofa . when suddenly, she bent her knees, curled up her legs and refuse to sit... gosh... i was wondering if she picked this up from her 2.5 yrs cousin karin!

Keira's 7th month story

...celebration... ce-le-bra-tion..... yeah.... little lele is 7 months today! she is a big gal now... this is such a fun time to be with her... she reacts to me and the surrounding and she is so sweet to play with. Time really flies izzn't it! Just 7 mths ago, I was scrumbling to get through my 1st month with lele and adapting to a new life myself! But look, it's all worth it! she is growing day by day, and I am seeing her growth every day! What I love most about her right now is, she is so lovable when she hugs and place her little head on my shoulder when I carry her...and she does that to daddy and grandma too... how sweet!





Keira with her 'scholar hairdo' ....



--> mama bought a soft bb brush and decided to use it on my hair for the first time! I look like a leopard-in-a-sheep's-skin!... u know what i mean?????









So... i tried to grab that brush from mama... hope she doesn't use that on me ever again! I hate ppl touching my hair!!!!!

I am back from HK C-R-A-Z-Y shopping spree!

OMG... I missed Keira sooooo badly... I have to look at K' pics on my mobile before I go to bed almost every nite while in HK! I was rushing back home from airport the moment I landed... and when I reached home, I just dumped everything on the floor, got my car keys... and zoomed..... to bro's house to fetch K back home... it was about 9pm then...
When I got there, my mum was lying with K on her bed and it was dark in the room as K was trying to sleep.... I heard that she had been playing with cousin Karin before that and so she kinda still awake ... usually, K would have been in her wonderland... Zzzzzz sweetly.. haha...
So, when i got into the room, I turned on the lights.. and saw K blinking her eyes trying to open them.. haha... when she saw me, "blink" she smiled at me! yeah... she hasn't forgotten me.... ... she was moving her whole body and hoping that I would carry her! haha... so cute... I lied down beside her.. and she flipped over... just that moment, I stood up to walk over to get the aircon remote.. and she started crying!!! gosh.. wat happened? did I accidently stepped on her or something??? I asked my mum..... Mum then told me K cried coz she tot I m leaving her alone.... haha... so cute! I felt so good about that! K longs for me... yeah... sh must have missed me terribly... like I did for her! haha...
Anyway.. about the trip....It was INDEED a very fruitful trip for me! I hate to be away from K, but at the same time, I needed a trip away for myself... It has been abt 1.5 yrs that I have not really been doing something for myself since preggie with K and after she arrived....Ofcoz... everyone kept telling me... oh.. u can still do anything (except strenuous exercise) like b4... but ... u know what... no one will understand how I really felt when I was preggie! I just din feel like myself, din wanna go out, can't bring myself to do anyway at all! shopping... gosh.. simply no mood during preggie time... So.. anyway.. I feel much beta now.

Keira says: My latest cap!

It's Easter Day today! Papa and mama brought me to IMM this morning... well, almost the usual sat/sun and public holiday morning activity... OMG.. I am getting sick of it...

Anyway... mama needed to go to Fox Boutique to get gifts for Twins Haron and Hazel... who are in HK.... coz mama will be going to HK tomorrow (!) for her crazy shopping spree - without me!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway... while mama was frantically looking for clothes, papa noticed this cutie cap and got mama to purchase it for me... yeah yeah yeah... love it, love papa :p

Keira says: Mama had a bad day .... *muak muak* to mama

"le le loves mama, mama loves le le"...
If only I could talk or sing, I would say/sing the above... and that's what mama sings to me her self-invented "lyrics and rythm" haha....
Oh well... mama told me that she had a really bad day at work today. I have no idea what it's about coz she did not relate the incidents to me. However, something unusual about mama today... she starting talking non-stop in a monotone to me about how much she loves me right from the day she found out that she was preggie, and that I must be a good gal and love her too... and she kept repeating this sentence with occasional "lele loves mama, mama loves lele" self-invented tune to me.... oh boy... she makes me wanna zzzzzzzzzz...... with that no-drive, no-pitch kinda blab..... And u know what, mama did not even realised that I have shit in my diapers while she blabbed non-stop.... arhhhhggg.... and sensing how down she is, I did not scream/cry to get her attention to my soiled nappy.... until.................... my saviour daddy came home, came into my room... saw mama blabbing non-stop.. and smelt my shit! now... I wanna go... "le le loves papa, papa loves le le".....
Sorlie.. mama.... le le still loves you....

Keira the Terror

Every evening, fetching Keira back home from bro's place is a challenge. Can I just say that its more challenging then any of my projects!!! haha...
Most of the days, she will be crying in her car seat... either she doesn't want to be alone at the back seat o that she wanna zzz...! Gosh.. hearing her scream and cry behind is driving me nuts, especially when I am driving! What can I do with her while I am driving??? I have been thinking of ways to "entertain" her while she is seated in her car seat... have not been successful as yet... what should i do? ... I get distracted... its too dangerous while I am driving... gosh!
This morning, I tried giving her teether and plastic balls to play with .. but... and u guess it right... she still yelled! arrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
