Loy Krathong

It's Loy Krathong (ลอยกระทง) today! which is also known as the "Festival Of Lights" similar to the hindu Deepavali festival, Loy Krathong is celebrated on the 12 days of the 12 month in the Thai Calender, which falls on Nov 12 every year. It was believe that this celebration originated from Sukhotai, the first capital of Thailand around 700 years ago.

Daddy got home early today after meeting and thought it would be nice to see how is this festival being celebrated here, unfortunately both thai temple we visited today wasn't celebrating it. The Thai temple at Taman Cheras as well as Chetawan Temple along Jalan Gasing.

Happy Aniversary!

Today is mommy and daddy's anniversary.

When daddy woke up this morning he suggested to mommy to drive to Secret Recipe in Alamanda to get the cake promotion, buy 1 free 1, which will start at 1100hrs. When we got to the queue there were already about 100 people in line waiting. After waiting for about 15mins, suddenly Secret Recipe staff told everyone to move back to the entrance of the shop and there wasn't a queue anymore. Daddy stand around for about a couple of minutes until he thought what is the point of waiting like a 'beggar' for a cake. We left immediately after that and walked around since daddy thought, a new queue will start again soon since people started shouting and complaining, but when we returned there wasn't any queue so daddy decided to go home instead. This event was so badly organize, I wonder if the rest of the outlets had the same faith!

After we got home, daddy drove to office before coming back home to pick me and mommy up for dinner. We went to Jogoya for dinner since mommy wanted to have the dinner there instead. Daddy tried to call to make reservation but no one answered the phone so daddy thought there will not be many people since the last time daddy and mommy were there, no many people were actually patronizing it. They even had a maximum of 2 hours per visit, which mean, you can only eat for 2 hours! Which means, they are asking you to stuff yourself in 2 hours. Currently they are having a 50% discount for ladies and senior citizen (with terms and conditions applies). Daddy would rate this place

8 out of 10 for food (loads of varieties with unlimited fresh coconuts)

6 out of 10 for service (lots of staff but most of them doesn't speak any english or malay)

2 out of 10 for value (because of the time limitation)

5 out of 10 overall

Daddy wanted to take some photo of the food but the table was too small and the food was all over the place. It would look and taste much better without the photos.

After dinner, daddy took me and mommy to meet up with daddy's old colleague (Uncle Chang, Uncle Leslie and Uncle Will) for a while at Bangkok Jam@BB Park.

Lunch : Fried Vegetable and Egg with Steamed Rice
Dinner : Steam Garoupa and Asparagus in Jogoya.

Aarrgghhhh!!!!

Today I manage to tell mommy everytime I wanted to pee, but when granny got back, I failed and pee'ed on my training pants. Anyway mommy was very proud since I could actually control my bowels and tell either mommy or toon when I needed to go to the toilet.

In the evening, Ser Kai came over to play with me but only for about an hour since Ser Kai's mommy had to go out to get something. Tomorrow granny told daddy that Secret Recipe is going to giveaway 1 free cake for every cake purchase at 1100hrs in Alamanda. Daddy is going to try his luck since it will be daddy and mommy's anniversary and grandpa's birthday is just around the corner as well.

Shopping Again!

Today I went out shopping again, this time to Mid Valley since daddy wanted to have Nasi Lemak at Madam Kwan's. We left home late in the evening and only manage to walk around Mid Valley for a couple of hours before going home. Initially daddy thought of going to the club to swim again but I slept for more than 3 hours today, only waking up around 1700hrs and mommy did not prepare anything yet so daddy decided to skip swimming and go and walk around instead.


I had a wonderful time running around the complex since Toon came with us today so daddy and mommy had more time to walk around. Mommy also took me to Jusco Kiddy Area to ride the Merry-Go-Round, my favourite ride.


Lunch : Steam Pomfret and Vegetable Soup with Steam Rice
Dinner : Stir Fried Minced Pork and Broccoli with Steam Rice

Exciting Day

It was an exciting day when daddy and mommy took me out for a swim in the club. Today I manage to try a proper inflatable armband by Floaties. This is a much better product than the one daddy bought from Jusco earlier by Ogival. The different between the 2 are,
Pro (Floaties)
- Floaties size is better for age 2 and below allowing arm movements.
- Floaties are properly balance once it is inflated.
- Floaties fitting is right for baby arms since there is a small piece of plastic which is not inflated.
Con (Floaties)
- Because Floaties size is smaller than Ogival, the baby mouth might be touching the water all the time.

After swimming daddy decided to drive to Sunway Pyramid, since the new wing was recently opened. This complex is so huge that you need a whole day to cover the whole complex if this is your first time there. The varieties of shops are much better than before with loads of restaurants as well. I had my dinner in Wendy's since daddy wanted to have the chilis before daddy and mommy had theirs in Pasta de Gohan. There is a great varieties in their menu with both daddy's favourite, Vongole and Squid Ink. I had a special kid menu set, Carbonara with Beef Bacon.

Daddy is very impress with the complex's parking system, it actually detect each lot if it is taken or vacant. Definately a new complex to visit in Klang Valley.

Festival Of Lights

Today is the festival of light, or known as Deepavali by Indians. Its a year ago when I posted on Deepavali and I am doing it now again a year later. Since last year I did not manage to go swimming, this year, it wasn't raining and I went swimming.

I am beginning to be a little more adventurous when I am in the water, I would actually try to jump into the water and refuses to sit inside the float. Daddy is thinking of getting me the arm float so I would be able to move more freely.

Early this morning, daddy and mommy sent Auntie Aey to the airport for her flight to Bangkok. After lunch before I went swimming, I visited Baby Ashley. She is growing really fast! It will be soon when I could start playing with her, if she still stays in Kajang.

Lunch : Steam Vegetable Egg with Vegetable Soup and Rice
Dinner : Srir Fried Mix Vegetable with Vegetable Soup and Rice

Cozy Sunday

Daddy wanted to go shopping but mommy wasn't keen to go anywhere so we stayed at home the whole day until in the evening when daddy, mommy, granny and auntie Aey drove out for dinner without me.

Auntie Aey will be flying back to Bangkok tomorrow since she will be starting her class tomorrow. Auntie Aey was suppose to take a bus back to Hat Yai then another bus to Bangkok but because it was a long weekend, all bus to Hat Yai are full so she is going to take Air Asia to Bangkok.

Lunch : Fried Egg with Onions served with Steam Rice
Dinner : Fried Mix Vegetable with Vegetable Soup served with Steam Rice

Got A New Shoe!

I got a new pair of shoe today after weeks of shopping for it. It is a Sensory Motion Peanut shoe by Nike which was on 50% discount. It looks good since the toes area is wide and the weight is light as well. Daddy is quite picky in buying shoes, the things daddy look at are,

1) No buttons or small item easily come off, which I might pick it up and put it into my mouth.

2) Right show size, not too big but it has to come with a big toe area.

3) Easily put on and remove without any shoe lace that need to the tie.

4) Good sole anti-slip surface.

5) The weight of the shoe, as light as possible.

But the most important thing in buying a shoe, other than the comfort and looks would be the flexibility of the shoe, the bend of the shoe should not be directly under the toe (known as a steel arch support shoe), since it will affect the growth of the leg. For more information about getting a pair of shoe, click here.

See buying a shoe for me isn't as easy as a shoe for daddy!

Lunch : Steam Egg with Vegetable Soup
Dinner : Seafood Toufu with Pork Soup @ Oriental Cravings

Shopping Day

I went out today again, but shopping this time since granny wanted to go to Pavillion to walk since granny has not been there for quite a while now. Mommy was looking for a shoe for me in Parkson but unfortunately was no nice, too big or too small. There was a canvas shoe which mommy and daddy really like by Adam. Then daddy wanted to get something from Adidas but all the shoes I tried were too big for me.


Later mommy got me some Arnott's Teddy Bear biscuit from Mercado.

How do you like my Hard Rock tee.


Lunch : Fried Broccoli with Carrot and and Steam Rice

In The Swimming Pool

Finally after weeks of trying to go swimming finally, I was able to go swimming today. Luckily it rained early in the afternoon but the rain stopped around 1500hrs. Had a wonderful time in the water. Daddy also tried to teach me how to kick in the water which I manage to but just kicking wrongly. I am also starting to dislike staying inside the float, or maybe the size is too small. Daddy thought of getting a new arm float instead, so I could move more freely.

After swimming daddy drove to Mid Valley to walk around since mommy wanted to get something from Guardian.

Lunch : Steam Rice with Fried Broccoli and Carrot
Dinner : Claypot Seafood Toufu with Vegetable Soup Steam Rice

Lunch Time

While mommy was feeding me lunch today, I was browsing through the Tesco store promotional catalogue. As I was turning the pages, I notice, Vitagen(assurance from manufacturer) and immediately pointed at it. Mommy then asked me where is it, and I pointed to the fridge. Then ask I was flipping the rest of the pages, I notices some show which are on promotion, I took my feet up and pointed at it. It would have been nice if mommy shot some video of me today.

Mommy now also starting to give me more food to try. A couple of days back, daddy tried to let me have a taste of chili, which I started screaming for water. I have also started craving for certain fruits such bananas, plums and kiwis but I don't really enjoy Apple juice (daddy kept feeding me even daddy knows it is not very good for me).

Up till now I am still unable to make proper sentence. I best I could do is say "Pai Shopping". Mommy took a new dress send by Auntie Ann in Bangkok, which was meant for sale, to try it on me. I will be attending Auntie Muay's wedding in Bangkok next month and I might be the flower girl, if I can walk on my own without throwing the flower away. Guess mommy will have to start training me for this occasion.

Excited!

I got so excited in the afternoon when mommy took me over to see Ser Kai. I screamed and ran to her, hugging and kissing her stomach since I reaches the stomach only. I had a great time playing with Ser Kai.

Daddy got back much earlier today after renewing the road tax, which daddy got a rebate of RM625.00 immediately from the Post Office after paying for the road tax, but the amount is still less than the insurance for the car. The rebate form can be downloaded here.

It rained so heavily today that the road in front of the house flooded, Uncle Khee Wai's house was 1 inch under the water in the living area. Luckily my house is raised slightly above the road level, if not we will be affected as well since the drain were all clog up.

A Visit To Doctor

Today I went to visit Doctor Khoo again. I was given a tetanus injection as part of my course of injection since birth. The injection was fine until I moved by head to the back and hit the doctor's table. I cried so loud after that.

My growth is back to normal after the last visit which the doctor say I was somewhat stunted. Anyway below is my latest growth details, compare to my previous details,

1) Weight - 10.7kg (back to the 50% graph)

2) Height - 83cm (maintaining between 75% and 90% graph)

3) HC - 46.5cm (at 75% growth rate)

Doctor asked daddy about my progress if I could scribble, which the answer was definately yes since I started scribbling on daddy and mommy's bed a few weeks ago. Another question which doctor asked was if I could start saying about 20 words, which daddy answered no, Doctor got surprised and look at daddy as I am having problem with my progress, which mommy immediately told doctor that I could say more than 20 words such as,

1) Papa

2) Mommy

3) Mama

4) Por Por

5) Flower

6) Ball (-Ball)

7) Tiger

8) Shopping (my favourite currently)

9) Mum Mum

10) Hmm Hmm (need to go to toilet)

11) Nam (-Nam (water)

12) Dog

13) Bird

14) Nong (little one)

15) Kor Kor

16) Che Che

17) Yeh Yeh

18) Kok Kok (Piggy Back on Mommy)

19) Kok Kok Kok (Knocking on Door)

20) Please

21) Shh Shh (Urinate)

But I could understand what are the following,

1) Eye (both in English and Thai)

2) Nose (both in English and Thai)

3) Mouth (both in English and Thai)

4) Ear (both in English and Thai)

and many more but daddy favourite is being "High Five" and for mommy would be asking me to do a "sorry" action by putting my hand over my forehead (like saluting).

Lunch : Vegetable Soup with Pork Rib and Pumpkin Porridge
Dinner : Bitter Gourd Soup with Steam Rice

Been Really Lazy

I have been lazy over the last few days or more like weeks. No updates on my blog.

Yesterday, I turn 18months old but I stayed at home since the weather has been unpredictable. Mommy wanted to take me out swimming last Sat but the sky turn dark in the evening, my swimming plan had to changed to shopping plan. Daddy got me a new IKEA red colour high chair so that we can take my old high chair back to Hat Yai. So I would have a high chair when I am there.

I could also say "pai shopping" (means go shopping) all the time now. Whenever anyone says shopping I would get all excited and start walking to the door and ask for the shoe. Once I am all ready to go, I would run towards the door and wait for everyone else.

Mommy has been taking photos of me over the past few days but daddy has been busy with his ebay listing. Guess I would have to wait for a while before my photos are uploaded.

On thursday, I would be visiting Doc Khoo for some injection, I am not sure how I would react to Doc now! since I am beginning to recognize things.

Lunch : Vegetable Soup with Congee
Dinner : Steam Egg with Steam Rice
