11mths - Baby Fair @ Expo

28.02.2009 – It’s Ashton’s Birthday today!

My parents & Jorel’s parent turned up early for the Baby Fair. It was my parents’ desire to enter me for a crawling contest before I start walking. No way Daddy & Mommy are going to let this last chance slip away because I will be overqualified for such event after I turn one.

Just 3 days before my birthday, my parents’ wish come true. It supposed to be just for fun experience but luck shines on us when I come in first unexpectedly. Phew…! ;)

Baby Fair @ Singapore Expo

The happy families

Uncle Weiliang, you better buy Jorel a toy trumpet soon.

11 mths - Lunar birth date

20.02.2009 – Today is lunar zhen yue er shi liu, my Chinese birthdate and I finally put my best foot forward. Hehe… manage to walk two-steps without any support today.

21.02.2009 – Daddy sent me to Ah Ma’s place to serve my respect to the OKEs ancestors. There were lots of kuei kueis that look like soft red turtles’ shell and their names is “Ang Gu Kuei”

I saw two huge ones that were almost bigger than my tiny head. Ah Ma laid a layer of plastic sheet over the two huge ang gu kueis and instructed me to step on them.

“gao gao chye you de zhi”

Eyes on the roasted drumstick~ is it for me???

Infront of the huge ang gu kueis were book, toy car, ruler, scholar brush, money, calculator & drumstick. I look around and that $100 note really interests me. I made my move to pick up the $100 note but Ah Ma took it away.

Never mind, the small buttons on the calculator look fun too. Maybe if I press the buttons, music will come out? I picked up the calculator but Ah Ma took it away from me again.

Then I pick the book lor… at least there are pictures to look at. But… but… why they snatched it from my hands again?

Arrghh… I grab the drumstick, I wanted to have a bite but AGAIN someone took it away from me.

Give up… I don’t want to play anymore. Maybe I should just grab the small ang gu kuei further ahead of me.

11 months - Feb'09 Outing

15.02.2009 – A visit to National Museum. Arrghhh… Along the hall only cos I felt asleep minutes we went in. *Yawn*

Mommy, I know it’s good to start me with barefoot because the longer I walk without shoes, the better as this will allow my tiny feets to develop naturally. However, at Outdoor; walking barefoot might cause dangers of infection through accidental cuts and to severe contusions, sprains or fractures.

So bring out my shoes next time okay?

15.02.2009 – When I was 4mths old, I swam alone in a huge white lookalike basin with a neckfloat. When I turned 6mths, I am still on that uneasy neckfloat with Daddy and Mommy will sit at one corner, watching us having fun and getting ready the camera and towel. Just as I am about to turn one, my parents bought me a sitting float. This time round, I have both Daddy & Mommy into the pool. Cool… ;)

Monday

11 months - 7th day of CNY

01.02.2009 – 人日 , the 7th day of CNY. It’s every man’s Birthday!

All uncles & aunties gathered at popo’s place for dinner and all of us must eat seven vegetables on this day.

My toy trumpet was spoiled and my parents are not replacing a new one yet. The sound from the toy recorder does not sound so exciting as my old trumpet. Luckily, there were leftovers holographic blowouts from the last Christmas for me to play with.

I visited a car accessories shop with Uncle Huihui and my parents just before dinner. Back home, I entertained the adults with holographic blowouts; they played ball games with me and trapped me in a laundry basket. I stayed cool throughout. Even when Uncle Xiang lifted the basket up and walked me to the dinning table, I do not cry. I am a brave baby. =p

See me blow…
