My New Cousin

Finally I can put this entry up. Presenting the newest addition to Tok Din's family and my new cousin; Here's Sharafynna, the daughter of Along and MakLongSha. She's a beautiful baby, isn’t she? I’ve got plans for her …. sniggering. I’m going to teach her all the naughty things that can make a mother crazy… hihihihi. Wait, wait … it just occurred to me, I’m now THE big sister to her. I’m all grown up … hihihi.

Birthday for an Old Boy!

Today, I went to Asu’s house to celebrate Tok Din’s birthday. I do not know how old he is, I think he’s older than the trees… hahahah, don’t tell Tok Din please or else I have to make like a tree and leave. Mama bought a small cake … all birthdays must have cake. Since it was a weekday, not all my cousins can make it. With whoever was around, we sang the passion”est” birthday song to Tok Din. He deserved it. Yaayyyyy. Happy Birthday Tok Din!

Sesame Street rocks!

On some days when mama is absolutely bogged down with her house work, she would turn on the tv on the wall for my temporary entertainment. As days goes by, I became fascinated with a tv program called Sesame Street. This show is the bomb. There’s action, songs and colours. Then there is that red puppet thingy. What’s he’s called … hmmmm …. Elmo … yes that’s right … Elmo’s his name. He is the best singer and dancer of the lot. When mama turned this show on, I’m literary glued to it.

The final part deals with my Language aspect. This one, I stunk big time ... Language says simple words ("dog", "hot") understands "no" mimics sounds like tongue-clicking, raspberries, and cough likes to sing says several words says "no" and shakes head can follow simple direction Sure I’m supposed to say “hot”? That’s one big word to utter. However, one word which is now in my vocabulary is the word “no”. No, I don’t say it; I only know the meaning of it. And usually a shake of the head comes along with this word. Head shaking is the best and “No”, in my opinion, is a very fun word to have. Then, there are other words which I’m also aware and understand too. For example, “come here”, “ball” and “kasi” (give - in English) Mimicking sounds is one of my favourite games. Start singing and I would start singing too. I may not know the words, but rhythm wise, I’m there.

Now, for the third part of a baby’s growing up milestones. The Social aspect. I’m proud to say this but I’m “ace”ing this aspect. Social enjoys mimicking points to things she want feels pride (especially when praised) likes games (peek-a-boo) copies and imitates likes to look at books together starts to exhibit a temper when angry waves good-bye laughs at funny things I love playing games, especially those that have lots of action and sounds. For example games like, peek-a-boo or scary monsters with my funny bro trying to catch me here and there. The funnier his actions are, the more I like to scream and shout. I also like to play with toys that I can hold and throw. Then my temper throwing skill kicks into effect …. Hihihi.

Taking stock (part 2)

Continuing on from my previous entry, I’m now assessing my progress for the past year. This second part deal with the Mental aspect of growing up. Mental start to understand phrases (like "come here") wants to explore things by touching everything builds, stacks and disassemble favors one hand understands a word in context understands cause and effect starts pretending remembers Number 2 fits me like a glove…hihihihi. And yes, I can build at least a 2 stack high cube, but you know what? I like bringing them down even better…hihihihi. I’m still unsure what handed I am. For all I know now, I’m ambidextrous. Understanding cause and effect? I wanted to put a Yes on that but somehow I think it means something else. I know if I dropped mama’s hand phone (cause), it would get her angry (effect). If I took big sis balloon (cause), it will make her mad (effect). And if I pushed the buttons on big bro’s Xbox (cause), that will make him annoyed (effect). Or if I climbed on papa’s computer workstation and meddle with his mouse (cause), he will go berserk (effect). Maybe yes, I do understand cause and effect.

Taking stock (part 1)

I’m 1 year old now. It’s time to sit back and assess my life to what that has passed and to what I want to do in the future. Being a meticulous baby as I am, I’ve provided a list that papa gave me. This list is growth milestones from 9 to 15 months. Let’s see what I have accomplished and what I need to learn doing. This is the first aspect of baby development. Physical masters crawling can stand when supported climbs on furniture walks with help walks alone can climb up stairs can grip a crayon can run bounces to music I think I’ve got the walking part done and dusted. Nowadays, I walked everywhere; it’s faster than crawling and cleaner too … hihihi. But what I can’t do is walk on grass? Why? It’s so green and soft. Running? Hmmm … why do I need to run? I don’t really bounce to music. Everyone knows only a ball can bounce. Me? I sway my arms around. Okayy … okay … swing my limbs like a helicopter. I really want to learn walking up steps. Low steps posed no problem for me, but those high ones are really scary. Asu has a flight of them. Once I’ve got this climbing stairs licked, I’m going to go up and explore the rooms upstairs … heheheheh.

The Morning After!

That morning, I woke up really early. Why? Its present’s opening time of course. My eager beaver siblings got up early too. It’s the unwrapping that excites us. To be surprised to find what is inside the beautiful and colourful wrappers. The presents are secondary … hihihihih … like real? After tearing up every loose piece of wrapping paper, my presents were revealed. I’ve got mostly clothing wear. But what stunned me was I received only 2 toys. A Pooh and a musical phone. Is it because I’m a girl …?. Humphhh … Thank you to all for making my 1st year Birthday celebration a memorable one. See you next year, kayyyy.

The Party!

My guests started to trickle in when the rain began to stop. We didn’t have any games because every inch of space is filled. So for my readers and my other aunts and uncles, please don’t feel bad that you weren’t invited. Next time, I’ll ask papa to organize my party in a wider area, okay? As the lady of the day, I came out looking rather elegant, to meet my guest. Everyone was looking at me in awe …. Hihihihi. By then, all my presents have been stacked on top of each other. I’ve never seen so much presents in my life … and its all for me. This is a great day. Later it was time to cut my cake. All of my cousins crowded around to get the best view of the cake. They were so happy for me that they sang me the birthday song. That was so cool … The day wore on longer then expected. It got so tiring that I had to leave the festivities and get my 40-winks. All in all ……….. It was the best day ever!!!

The Big Day!

I’ve just realized that my parents were celebrating my birthday one day earlier, which was last Sunday. But I don’t mind, for me a week earlier would be better … hihihihi. Why? I get my gifts earlier … hehheheh. Well on the morning of the big day, after moving furniture around, my father started decorating the house. The place was the most beautiful sight ever. The balloons brighten up the party. I’m smiling now. Papa left the house and came back with my birthday cake. I was clapping wildly because the cake has a big red 1 on it. And more balloons! Yay! After a while, the food came. Mama and papa hastily arranged the food around the table. I wanted to take a look at the fare but papa keeps taking me down from the chair. By now I’m quite frustrated, isn’t it my birthday? I should be doing what I please. By midday everything was ready. But where were my cousins and friends?
