my few days as a kampong boy at the kelong

Few days at the kelong as a kampong boy.
initially mummy brought along my various dvds....
first night i was holding on to the disc, eagerly waiting for it to play...
then the adults say the player is down...
so no Baby Bright, no Hi-5, no LULI....
i was disappointed i think....
but it's ok.

I still survived my days as a kampong boy with NO TV, NO AIRCON for 10 solid days...
Pictures as below tells you almost all...
but only for first 5 days, cos mummy went back after that mah...
leaving just me, Gong Gong and Po Po...

in the ferry heading for Tanjung Pinang

trying to get gong gong to play with me

self entertaining

just cant keep still

arrived at the terminal

waiting for the land transfer to kelong

just a normal SUV sort of car

while travelling in the car

sleeping in mummy's arms
still in the vehicle
while the rest go supermarket

Next morning

going for breakfast

Gong Gong showing me some water spurting stuff

which i was amused by it

along the kelong

boys just cant stand still...

sharing mummy's ice milo

and green tea...

eating fried mee

laying on the table...

waving to the hen...

the starfuits become my toys...
i take them from the basket
and put into the small pail
counting and counting 1, 2, 3, 4
I keep repeating...they are always 4.

running after the kite...
I want to fly the kite...

water play time

brush brush brush

enjoying this packet of tibit gong gong gave

then it started to rain....
mummy let me play under the roof as it was just slight drizzle

See I am so curious about the rain drops

I like to put on this pail like a hat
mummy has no idea why

learning to poo in the potty

still trying to get the POO out..

wow...dark dark

Gong Gong showed me the fireworks...

i was so excited by it

bright in the dark dark sky

something like that
which i will not get to see or play with in SG

Oh oh...i pee-d...

standing still after i pee-d...

my first attempt in the sea in my float

playing on my own

clear clear water by the beach

holding tight to my float....don't even try to snatch huh

what's missing??
Daddy's shoes loh...
cos' he is not here

having my cool cool ribena after my beach play

we walked back to the kelong...

passing some memorable sights

like this little boy(older than me probably)
he had a cleft lip

and this is his home...

this is right outside his home,

where they just cook in a pot over a charcoal stove
with heaps of wood lying around

this is his home, an inside view
about the size of maybe our room

just a mattress, 2 shelves

a portable radio,
FOUR EMPTY WALLS.

the surroundings
this looks like a toilet
but we never venture in

arrived back at our kelong

its pee pee time...

then Po Po feed me Macaroni
she cooked
but i was a handful....i kept wanting to join gong gong who went swimming in the sea....

enjoying a cool ice blended strawberry drink...

Look! they are real starfish!
right before my eyes!

nightfall...

looking at Baby Trevor

it's another day again!

enjoying a roll all over

DA!

finally 1 shot with mummy....
no choice, she is always the photographer mah

enjoying some cool yogurt on a hot afternoon

i like yogurt, just like mummy does

another play time before i take a bath in it

NEMO!!!
that's Papa Nemo, Mama Nemo and Baby Nemo!!

cool right my pose...
but

OopS! Mummy!!!!

my shorts is dropping!!!

happily hugging together
that's my cousin tiffany. She is about 8 months older than me.

we tried a kiss

see....the girl will close eyes...
but the boy open eyes leh...

just an hour left before mummy leave...
heavy rain...
i was napping away...while mummy closely look at me...
holding my little hand...

hoping i will wake up before she has to go...
she doesnt want me to wake up without saying goodbye

Luckily, I did wake up in time.

I wave goodbye to mummy as she sat in the car.

No tears from me...but Mummy did.

Dinner with Wai Po, Uncle Felix & Family

15th August 2009 Sat.
Fairmont Singapore Hotel
Szechuan Court
Family Dinner

Uncle Felix treated us to dinner. :)
Food was good. Staffs were nice.

I made a real mess dropping my rice all over the floor... ...

walking around the corner of the table where we sat...

Kor Kor Jared & I

Somehow I am ok with Uncle Felix carrying me...

Enjoying my Ribena!

I want my food!!!

waiting for the food still, cos the adults took a real long time to order

I tried a bit of red wine...

;p

Walking about on my own while returning from a trip to the washroom

Mummy & I
I loved the dessert so much I kept asking for it...

Wai Po & Mummy & didi(in mummy)

If only all 3 are mummy's kids.

Hahahahha
That's not possible!

Wave goodbye!!

See you guys again!

Had a great dinner together.

Except that occasional few moments when I was naughty and refused to sit on the high chair...

mummy scolded me and I run to Uncle Felix...

other than that I guess Mummy still love me lah. :D

it is tough to be a mum...

Asher had a fall today that resulted in slight abrasions to the skin just beneath his left eye...


Mummy was packing the room and stuffs... ... to make space for baby very soon...
too many things to do, too little hands...
daddy cant help much seriously...not blaming him though...

how to finish doing everything in that 2 hours of Asher's naptime only?
it is just not possible... ...
i let him play on his own while i continued packing my stuffs...
but then when he fell & hurt himself just like earlier, mummy me feel bad...
seemed like I had been a bad lousy mum...

sometimes it is just so unfair... ...as it may seem.

the kids follow the daddy's surname...
but mummy is the one who goes through all the pregnancy, child bearing process
then everything in relevant to the kid, it is always naturally the mummy's duty and responsibility...like cleaning up his mess, bathing him, feeding him, changing diapers etc....
even asher's paediatrician says:"does he look like the dad? I have never met him before..." and asher is like 19 months old...

and there's still that long list of work that has to be done... ...be it with or wihout a kid...

how to be a good mum?

My last jab until Primary One le!!

18th August 2009

Went to see Dr. Tan, my PD.
This will be my last jab until I enrol for Primary 1!!

Some photos taken while waiting for my turn in the clinic.
I measure 12kg and 85cm le. Big boy... ...just 6 months ago I was around 79.5cm...

drinking my milk while lying down on the sofa bench...

:)

helping myself to the toys...

I like this because there is a steering wheel on it...

:) Ice Kachang!

Mummy...coin pls...for the machine

As usual I will get to enjoy one "car ride"

I am ready to enlist army!!

Nowadays I always carry my backpack with my goodies in it...

Asher & Mummy!

I survived all my jabs from day 1 till 18 months old safe and well without running fever. :)

strong boy!! :)

1 blog. 2 blogs. 3 blogs? or?

With my little brother coming...

Mummy wonders if she should start another blog for him or combine our blogs?

But when BB3 comes along next time, then it will be 3 blogs for mummy to maintain until we are old enough to be able to do so on our own...

So if to combine, then it will be just 1 blog for all of us in future...
like that then my existing blog how?
Can edit the blog name? to change to not just babyasherz-i.blogspot?

but there again, it defeats mummy's orginal intention le...
to have a blog of our own from our beginning of life till we learn to maintain it on our own...at the same time we learn to pen our thoughts down for mummy to read in future...
by then probably 6 years old at least

probabyly Mummy will just do a blog for each of us....to fulfill her intention...
but she is very worried how long she can really do it for...

see the number of blogs I do these days, you will know..
well perhaps it will be down to just weekly blog updates.
we try...

Mummy's voice: A Marriage = A package.

A pretty upset me that 2 nights ago... ...

What triggered? As usual, just casual topics that my man can't even afford a listening ear.

Finally, in tears, I just went ahead and say all I wanted to, without being bothered whether he is even listening or not, whether he answers or not, becos' I know for sure he will still be just the big piece of silent wooden block.

"A Marriage is A Package!"

how can you enjoy all the perks of being married, having a wife to pack things for you, make tea for you when you come home, to run the household for you, to bear you your children, take care of them whether play or education, take care of every small little thing for you, assist you in running the business, making all the big, small plans.....and yet cannot even afford a listening ear or just some care, concern and attention? Not to mention your wife has her own job and work to do. Being married into your family, hardly has much time for her own mother, siblings etc...



A marriage is a package. If you can't afford to put in some efforts or you think it is not even necessary, then you shouldn't even enjoy the privileges and perks.



I hope the words went into the ears and heart of my big silent wooden block.
