Self Feeding

It has been quite some time that i let Xinru self herself during her meal time... Just few days before she changed over to the Toddler Group, i started giving her to self feed cause they have to self feed themselves when they move over to the Toddler Group.

I was kind of surprised that she can self feed herself very well... In the sense that, when she hold the spoon, she can aim right into her mouth and not on her face. And she also wun mess up the floor either... That's why i did not bother to lay newspaper on the floor... hehe

Some pics taken when she was taking her dinner...

Xinru has been promoted to Toddler

Xinru turned 18months on 8 August 2007. By right, she should have been transfer to the Toddler Group on that day but somehow her teachers give instructions to go over on the 13 August 2007.

On 13 August 2007, Xinru was officially being promoted to Toddler Group. The differences between the InFant and Toddler is:

1. Uniform - She has to wear this beautiful uniform to the school. As you can see that she is slim so the uniform will look big on her... hehe

2. More on teaching

Some pics of her wearing her school uniform. She is required to wear this to school every morning.

And what she will wear home during the evening time..

Hubby and me bring her to the school on 13 August. When we are near to the centre, she started asking me to carry her. Once we stepped in, i unstrap her and she does not want to find the teacher.... She is not at her usual self, clingying to me like a magnet... After some coaxing, her teacher managed to carry her over but she kept wanting to come to me, but i did not carry her over.

After a while, i told Xinru that i need to go and buy fish for her to eat then me and hubby sneaked away....

Later in the evening when i picked her up, she was ok already. I tink she is not used to the new group of classmate.

Hmmm thinking back 18months ago, she arrived to this world bare, with nothing in this world except a life that was created by me and hubby. just in a blink of eyes, she has grown up to be a 18 months old toddler. Owning a lot of toys, beautiful things and clothing and of course the love from people around her and attending school to learn things. It's quite a achivement to me, bringing up my own child together with my hubby. Thru the months, there were hard time too... but easy times seems to be in my mind instead... I guess, it's because Xinru dotes on me and hubby and seldom give us too hard times... hehe

last jab till Primary 1 liao..

Xinru was to go for her last booster jab on 4 August before she goes to Primary 1 .. So happy cause no need to poke backside again liao... :)
The previous appointment and this appointment was a Walk-In appointment casue the slot are full already so no choice, they asked us to walk in instead.
So early morning aroung 9plus, we got ourselves ready and went out to the clinic. We put our name already then we went for breakfast at Long John Silver... hehe my favourite... Normally hubby will buy back for me if he work till the next morning if not only when we go PD then got chance to eat cause he is lazy to go all the way there just to eat Long John Silver...

Xinru to playground on my own

I brought Xinru down to the playground on one of the weekend alone cause hubby was working the whole day so i actualli spend the whole day all by myself with Xinru. I never thought of bringing her to the playground alone cause i scare that i am not able to catch her... hehe
Nevertheless, i did it... And i am glad that she guai guai listen to me when i tell her 'It's time to go home'.
She enjoyed going up the slide through the slide and sliding down on her own and running around... :)

Penang Trip 19-22 July 07

Have been back to Singapore for so long after the Penang Trip from 19 to 22 July but did not update the blog.... Been sick after the trip and busy with work after the long OUT OF OFFICE... hehe but the OUT OF OFFICE time was great!!! :P

Talking back about the trip... I called this trip "Mosquito Trip cum In-Camp Trip' haha... Cause bascially for the 4 days and 3 nite there, we only went out 1 day which is on the Saturday, Hubby was lazy to go out so i spend my time there watching tv, playing with Xinru, sleep and eat..... *no wonder i am getting fatter... gosh!!!'

On 19th morning, wake up early around 530am to prepare the last minute stuff to put into the luggage followed by preparing Xinru to go out. She was excited... Cause before the day, i told her that we will be going to take aeroplane to Malaysia. Although she woke up very early but she still appear to be very awake and happy...

As usual, we took a cab to Woodlands check point then after the custom, we took a bus to Senai Airport. The journey took about 25 mins. Upon reaching Senai Airport, we checked in our luggage and went for a short breakfast and went to queue to board the plane. As there was a small hiccup when we left house, so it was kind of rush when we reach the airport.

My Brother in law and sister in law went to pick us up at the Airport and headed straight home. We stayed at their house for that few days and my poor Xinru has so many mosquito bite over her face and body. And not only her, i also have a lot... Although she has lots of mosquito on her face and body, she did not fuss instead i am the one fussing over why there are so many stupid mosquito this time round...

Tis is how the time was past when we were there.... Most of the time we were at home entertaining ourselves...

My sister in law also bring us to view our new flat which is to be ready in May 2008. We will be having 3 units. 1 which is under my Mother In Law's name, 1 will be under my Brother In Law's name and the last one under hubby and my name. The thought of living in a flat from the trip after next year New Year, i just felt so happy... Cause need not live in the Kampong again... So this trip is consider the last time we live in the Kampong as normally when New Year, we will be staying at the hotel.

A quick glance of the flat *it's about 80% completed*

And on Saturday morning, we went to have Dim Sum for breakfast but seems like Xinru does not really enjoy the food so she was making noise there wanting to go down the high chair and run around. I tried to finish my share fast and bring her and Henry over to the MacDonald's opposite.

Initially she does not want to move around the playground inside but shortly, she started running around and do not want to leave. She enjoyed herself and played till sweaty although it is inside the MacDonald.

when we went to pay our respect to my Father in law and something bad happen... Brother in law gave hubby the joss stick and this itchy hand Xinru went to snatch and take it across her back and the joss stick give a cut on her neck... I was so heart pain and my poor Xinru cried in pain... So sad....


After paying respect to my Father in law, brother in law drove us to the Youth Park, the park that we went on our first trip. I tink they see Xinru enjoying herself playing in the playground so they decided to bring her there. It was a hot day but since they want to go so go lor... :P

After the Youth Park, we proceed to a shop that they called it 'Biggest Aquariam' in Penang. There were dogs, hamsters, fish and a lot of small animals that can be kept as pet. Although Xinru did not walk around *hmmm should say i dun allow her.. cause the things there look fragile* but she loves looking at the things in that shop...

That was the last place that we went before going back home. That night after dinner, we went to hubby's grandmother house which is Xinru's Great grandmother house to pay them a visit. After that we left home.

Finally the day to go back is here... I tink overall this trip was quite boring as we are always indoor so i am hoping to go back home soon.. hehe...

We arrived at the airport around 10+ in the morning, have our usual coffee bean before we go into the departure gate.
