1. Chloe was just like her jie jie – was borned prematurely at 34 gestation week and was hospitalised for 5 days @ gleaneagles hospital. Prior to her arrival to this world, mommy have to stop work or rather work from home-  thanks to steve ( my boss) at that time for given me this “special” treatment.
2. Chloe was different from jie jie, Mommy have no problem with her food intake although when she discharged from the hospital, she is unable to suck and was very poor with her food intake, however this change when after her full moon. There are time when we are scared to give her milk as she keep on asking us for food although she have just took her milk.
3. She have a more ” rough” characteristic. whenever we gave her jie jie toys, normally the toy will be broken or somehow there are somewhere “cacat” .
4. Very attached to mommy as compared to jie jie. It could be that I take over from my mom when she was 6 months old. My mom took care of her from sun-fri 24 hour since she is young until she was about 6 months old before I take over.
5. We need to be firm when we deal with this girl. She will bully you when she knew that the person loves you. Normally she scared if I look at her with my stern face. No word is utter from me and she will scared and normally will stop her naughtiness..
6. We have no problem with her food. She ate what we ate and sometimes even more than us. She took all kind of food and not picky at all with her food. She also can take a lil bit spicy food.
7. She loves book more than toy. She loves pencil and toy and loves to write together with jie jie.
8. She know how to bully her kakak. She will beat her kakak whenever she angry with us. She will walk over to her kakak and beat her on the hand. There was an incident when her kakak refuse to gave her something that she asked for, she gaves her kakak one time slap on the face. she wont do this in front of us as she knew we will get angry if she misbehaves.
9. She can talk quite well compared to jie jie. at the age of 1.5 year old, she able to speak one or two word together and able to understand us well although she may not able to speak like her jie jie/
10. She is the fighter in the family. she loves to initiatiate the fight with jie jie. As she knew jie jie sayang her very much, she will pitch jie jie when she unable to get jie jie toy and when we asked her why you beat jie jie she answered jie jie beat her instead.

1. Zoey was borned prematurely at 32 gestation week and was only 1.3kg. She stayed @ DSH for a month after she was borned and we celebrated the full moon a week before she discharged.
2. Her personality was soft and was tends to get angry if we scold her for the thing that she have done wrong. She use to “soft ” approach and normally this way will work out for us.
3. She very picky with her food and till now at the age of 3years plus, her main meal are still porridge. This is due to that she will ate all her food and then only we will give her other food like rice and so on…
4. She loves her baby sister very much. She scared when she sees her sister running here and there and normally scream for mommy’s help either asking mommy to hold mei mei’s hand or “pau pau” mei mei..
5. She loves both her grandparent – popo and gong gong. She have been taken care by my parent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week  since baby till she was about 1.5 year old. She loves both of them dearly and although miss them when she did not see them.
6. She knew how to manipulate her daddy. She will said words or body gesture to win her daddy’s heart and normally this work when daddy buy her thing that she said but not asking to buy/
7. she is very picky with her food. when she ate her porridge she wants it white only porridge no other thing like carrot/potato or meat.
8. She dislikes vege and fruit and this become a problem to me as I been trying to get eat more fruit. Finally I resolve to gave her fruit juice so that at least she can get a balance diet.
9. She is still underweight the last time I see her paed. Doc ensure us that maybe she still small but as long as she is healthy she should be okay.
10. She loves book and school. However, since last year where she want being beaten by her schoolmate, we have stop her and now she request to back to school. Although she is not schooling, she able to recites ABC to Z correctly, recognised colours and number and able to write the alphabet and she loves to colour. She have alot of colour pencil and crayon at home.

I redeemed a classroom magnetic alphabeth which came with 80 pieces of magnetic alphabet and numbers and a magnetic board for Zoey and Chloe to played with. At first they are enjoyed playing sticking the number/alphabeth onto the board. Then the next day, Zoey requested to bring the board to my mom’s house so that they can played there.

I was surprised when I saw this…

Instead of sticking it to the magnetic board they stick it on the “sarong” holder…see creative they are…

Progress as of 21/3/2009

I’m planning to finish knitting this piece by this weekend since there are no planning for this weekend. After this I will be back to my crossstitching craft as I started to feel a lil bit bored with knitting project.

We went back to Sban for a House warming for my BIL new house. They have invited 200-300 people that they knew be it relative, friend or their client and supplier. They operate a provision shop in Sban.

This is the time where we see so many relative that related to my MIL or my late FIL.

For the kids, it is the time where they can eat and play as much as they want. Both Zoey and Chloe are so happy and was running around with their cousin. As for Chloe, it is the “makan” time that she like the most.

some picture for all….

After a long planning before the CNY this year, finally my MIL wishes came true. There are one time where my MIL told one of my SIL that her wishes are to take her sister and SIL for a trip to IPOH with the family.

As we normally plan for 2 trip for the year, we make a decision to fulfilled her wish this time.

At first, we thought of staying a night in IPOH town but later, due to the numbers of person joining the trip, we cancel the plan. There are more than 40 person for this trip…. yes, more than 4o person for this trip. We rented a tourist bus for this trip.

We start the trip @ 700 am at my BIL in Serdang while, other from Seremban, they boarded the bus from there at @ 630am. Due to unforeseen circumstances, there are a slight delayed.

After the death of my grandma 2 years ago, i changed alot. I start to realise that if you don’t take appreciate someone that are close to you, you will lost the chance when they are no longer in this world.

I still remember how I feel when I know that Popo no longer in this world for me. She is the only one person that I can trust to open up and her advice are the most sincere one. Someone the advice that she gave like a knife pooked to your heart but it is the truth advice that I can accepted as it is the most sincere one.

When I knew that popo is sick, I want so desparately to pay her a visit but due to my health condition ( still pregnant with Chloe ) Hubby against the idea as the Gynae gave specific advice not to travel at all. I have to accept the fact that, popo leaves us when I’m still 5 month pregnant with Chloe. I can’t even pay her the last respect as my condition not permissible.

2 years passed, the death of my FIL gave me another milestone that I need to re-look on how I feel and my popo death strikes my mind again. The family go through the hard time and mentally they are tortured by this incident. It is not easy for them to go through the phase of life.

Especially for hubby,  eversince the death of his Father, he does keep the anger within himself. He is so close to his father and the death does gave him the impact. I still remembered when he cried during the chinese ritual. He cried in silence.

Sometimes he does talked about his father to me. How he took his father for a walk @ lake garden, Sban or how he took his father to buy ”number” that he like. I  can see he still misses his late father. But life goes on. He still have the anger for what happened.

” I want to look pretty  like princess”

This is sentence that we normally heard Zoey said. She request us to tie her hair nice nice with ribbon and clips..

Normally, kakak will follow her instruction and she have the patient to tie her hair according to her request.

This girl of mine have entered the terrible 2 stage now. She are so demanding sometimes until I have no choice but to sent her to her naughty corner. Thank goodness she scared of the naughty corner if not, I’m not sure how I’m going to discipline her…

She want what she want and no negotiation. She will stump her feet hard and cried very loud until we gave in. At this moment, she only do that if she want jie jie toys. Sometimes I see poor jie jie need to gave her toys  to her and sometime, I told my maid not to give in to her request and she will keep on crying. After a few minutes, she sees no one take note of her, she will stop and toward you and ask ” pau pau”

Other than, she is a sweetie when come to food. She took all food and till now, she not a fussy nor picky eater at all. she eat what we gave her and this make easy if we want to go out.

She started to talk now. She can said :

- po po

- atuk ( referring to gong gong – thanks to my maid on this )

- mah mah – Mommy

- ah -dad – daddy

- yiyi

- ta-ta ( kakak)

-jie jie

-bear bear ( referring to her pooh bear)

-book

-mum mum

-nen nen

-dark dark

- “ato ” – referring to “arigato” in japanese for thank you. Not sure where she learn that from…

- “so-reee” for sorry

she know how to response and when to response…

mommy : Mei Mei, mommy buy porridge for you okay?

Chloe : yes… egg!

mommy : you want egg also in your porridge?

Chloe: Yes…

She know how to differentiate yes and no and she use it correctly…

She will look for ta-ta (kakak ) if mommy scold her or vice versa. when kakak don’t agree to pass something to her, she will look for mommy and show her pity face and when we jokingly ask her ” mei mei , kakak beat you ? she will said :”yes” and then she laugh… see how naughty she is now…
