Kidsloft

Mummy received an email from Aunty Jeanelle with the picture above. That was taken with Ms Lavina at the last of our Kidsloft lesson. Ms Lavina now has a 3rd child and is taking a year off teaching hence Mei Mei won't have a chance to have lessons with her. What a pity. Ms Lavina is really good at telling stories and she would be able to get the attention of all of us, which is an amazing feat.

I enjoyed my first few terms with her. Towards the end though, I was on my Terrible 2s mission to drive everyone crazy with my contrary behaviour and would fuss and insist that I did not like Kidsloft. However, I would participate in every activity hence, Mummy called my bluff, as she always does, somehow.. Hmmm..

I will miss my friends from Kidsloft. And now Daddy and Mummy are telling me about a 'big boy school' I have to start attending from end Jun called 'Gracefields'. I am not too keen on that and even a tad nervous. I just want to go to Kindermusik and attend Ms Shauna's class. Is that too much to ask? I guess the month of July will see Mummy chronicling my going to school woes. I am so Not going to make it easy for them. haha.. BEWARE

Some Snippets...

Mummy: What would you like for your birthday? IKEA kitchen set or a stay at Hotel Intercontinental?
Isaiah: IKEA kitchen set then I drive to Hotel Intercontinental to cook for Sully and Mike...
Mummy: urghz!

*ain't I the best negotiator around? anyone looking to hire one?

Caitlyn: *crying* Mummy, carry me! Mummy cannot go to work!
Mummy: Mummy must go to work so Mummy have money, buy Barney for you ok?
Caitlyn: I have Barney already.. *continues crying*

*think Mei Mei also has some of my skills? hee

Ready for NS?

Mummy could only find these 2 pictures from Daddy's FB.. This is wat we look like 1 yr on fooling ard in Shu Shu's soldier uniform! Mummy will try to upload more photos and videos if she is able to work around her school's rules of not using personal USB devices which she still thinks is s.t.r.a.n.g.e.

We'll Be Back S..o...o...n...

WOW.. the amount of cobwebs here is amazing! It's time we start clearing them I suppose. Let me see if I can get either Mummy or Daddy to be our scribe again!

Anyway, lots have changed in the year, and many fun experiences and not so fun experiences have occured. Mei mei and I have definitely grown in many ways and we are still the most challenging yet fulfilling aspect of Daddy and Mummy's lives! Mei mei is now much more fun to play and fight with as she has learnt to yell as loudly as me and to retaliate. What she doesn't realise is I AM BIGGER than her. Many a times we have to be physically pried apart to prevent any injuries, but not to worry, we still love each other a lot! If anyone attempts to "punish" either one of us, we will stand up for the other.

Many staycations have come and gone. We have also been on a cruise, to Phuket and to Genting. My favourite hotel is Hotel Intercontinental and I am always wanting to go there. My current favourite show is Monsters Inc and I keep telling Daddy and Mummy to bring me to Hotel INtercon to cook for Sully and Mike for reasons known only to myself. This wish has not been fulfilled yet as they brought me to Festive Hotel instead. Didn't they know I can't cook there?

Mei mei's favourite show is Barney, wait, Bananas, wait, Chuggington.. haha.. That's Mei Mei for you. She is very fickle minded (all girls are like that, I hear?) and she changes her mind in seconds. She's speaking more now and getting more assertive. One thing about her though is that she is a "paper tigress". She's really loud and fierce at home but once out, she is really shy. If anyone so much as looks at her, she plays dead and she would just bury her face in mummy's shoulders, chest wherever she can bury basically. She's able to speak in sentences and loves asking "why" cause she hears me ask that all the time!

My current craze is CARS. I know a Toyota from a Honda from a Mercedes and the list goes on. I even know a Toyota Altis from a Toyota Vios and the list goes on. In fact, Daddy and Mummy know less cars than I do probably due to the many trips to various car showrooms that Gong Gong has brought me to. My favourite is Mercedes Benz and I have promised to buy various cars for various people once I have the ability to. (Mummy is forcing me to write this so she can use this "against" me in future!!! E..v...i...i....l...)

Mei mei loves soft toys and she has many of them. Once she gets a new one, she would 'discard' her old one, so I am not too sure what her favourite is currently. Yup, that's Caitlyn for you.

Anyway, I have to pen off now as Mummy has to rush off for her lessons. More pics and videos coming up! ;P

Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th. 13March 2009. 7pm. Mummy calls Daddy, telling him that I am having a fever. FYI, Caitie had been down with the sniffles for the past few days. Daddy rushes back from the office at 7.30pm to bring Isaiah to the GP. Viral fever. 39 degrees. Clingy for the whole night.

Saturday 14 March. Brought Caitie n Isaiah to the PD. Medicines galore. Isaiah's fever goes up and down depending on when he takes his meds. Caitie was normal for most of the day (Daddy is not sure as Isaiah was clingy all day). She still refuses her meds, as usual.

Sunday 15 March. Daddy has to fly to BKK for 4 days. Isaiah n Caitie still sick. Daddy leaves the house with Isaiah in the background wailing, asking Daddy not to "take aeroplane". Daddy couldn't kiss Mummy, Isaiah and Caitie goodbye. Daddy feels like shit now but he'd like to say "Dear, Darling and Sweetie, I'll see you this coming Thur :)"

Friday the 13th. Who is Daddy to scoff at the superstitious?

Isaiah's first act of 'defiance' against a teacher

This happened in LNT.

Isaiah (being fussy): bu yao chang ge
Teacher: mei you change ge. wo men xian zai yao ting ge
Isaiah: bu yao ting
Teacher: ni bu yao ting jiu gai ze ni er duo lor
Isaiah: ni bu ya chang

haha.. the teacher was stunned silent for awhile and the rest of us burst out laffing. Our little boy is growing up so fast that he can 'talk back' to a teacher?!

Isaiah the Miser??

This post is writted by Daddy and Mummy to chronicle the start of my 'miserliness' apparently. Well, whatever. Just don't touch my money. ;P

Below are some conversations that we've had with Isaiah that underline his 'money concept'. He probably doesn't comprehend the entire meaning and most who know him can attest to the fact that 'no' and 'cannot' are 2 of his favourite words, but well, they're still really funny to us.

Conversation 1:

While Daddy's driving, Isaiah's having a fun time kicking the door.

Daddy: Isaiah, if u spoil Daddy's car, I'm going to use your money to buy a new car.
Isaiah: Cannot.
after some thinking, and throughout e rest of e trip he stops kicking the door and goes... reptitively in his usual obssessive ways..
Isaiah: Daddy dun use Isaiah money to buy new car. Daddy cannot buy new car.

Conversation 2:

this happens in Gong Gong's new car.
Gong Gong (to Mummy): ... must change the wheels cause v noisy..
Mummy: Isaiah, are the wheels noisy?
Isaiah: yes
Mummy: then can u give Gong Gong money to buy new wheels?
Isaiah: yes
Mummy stunned silent for a while.. then..
Isaiah: wheels not noisy, no need buy wheels
Mummy: ?!?!

Conversation 3:

this occurred while Daddy, Mummy and Isaiah are frolicking in bed before sleep...

Daddy: can Daddy use Isaiah's money to buy (we can't rem what we said.. may have been toy)
Isaiah : no
Mummy: then can we use Mei mei's money?
Isaiah: no
this goes on as we name all e family members
Daddy: the how? use whose money to buy?
Isaiah: keep the money
Daddy + Mummy: ???!!!???

Isaiah monkey, you sure do have a good sense of money for now! haha..
