How Many Mummies Do You Want?

Qianyi was a bit cranky during bathtime. I showed her my bruised thumb to distract her. Here’s the funny conversation between us.

Me: Mummy’s thumb is very painful. I’m going to see doctor. You stay at home, ok?

QY: I want another mummy to stay at home with me.

Me: Another mummy? You have one mummy only.

QY: I want two mummy.

Me: Huh? Why do you want two mummies? One for Daddy, one for you?

QY: I want so many mummy!

Me: Hahaha..why do you want SO MANY mummies??

She laughed too…and her mood became better.

A Huge Harry Potter Fan

Hubby talked to us via video call right after he boarded the plane to London 3 days ago. He showed us a picture of Harry Potter Episode 6. He told the little one that he’s going to watch Harry Potter 6 on the plane. Qianyi was so excited to see it and said, “I want to buy Harry Potter No 6!” But the DVD is not out yet…:(

When Hubby called from London yesterday, Qianyi told him, “I want Harry Potter No 6 tonight.” Oh dear, “tonight”! When I asked her to talk to her daddy again, she said, “I want Harry Potter No 6 PLEASE…” Haha…

During the occupational therapy session yesterday, the therapist said my little princess talked like Harry Potter.

She loves to use her wand (whatever looks like a wand) to point at a door and say, “Alohomora”. This spell is used to open a locked door. Sometimes when we come back from school, I would pretend that I have forgotten to bring the keys, then she would use the spell to unlock the door..hahaha… She likes to point her wand to my specs and says “Occulus Repairo”…that’s a spell to repair glasses. She has loads of fun playing with the spells from Harry Potter.

She enjoys riding a broomstick too. This mummy has to “fly” a broomstick and play Quidditch with the little Miss Harry Potter…sigh…

New School

Qianyi’s going to new school in Jan, 2010. We first visited the school last week, we left her at the playground while we had a tour around the school with the principal, an American woman. She loved the playground especially the swing. She said, “Just like London!” Some kids were having water play then. They were so happy to see Qianyi.

When we were leaving, a lovely caucasian girl kept asking the principal, “Is she coming to my class?” She gave Qianyi a hug.

We enrolled her in the school two days ago because it’s the best place for special education. We left her in the OT (occupational therapy) room this time while we were going through the enrolment procedure with the principal. When all was done, we picked her up from the OT room. The Occupational Therapist said she’s very sweet. Both he and the American principal couldn’t pronounce “Qianyi” properly. I asked her if she wanted the teachers to call her Qianyi or Felicity. She chose the latter.

So, she will be at school from 9am-3.30pm next year. I’m getting really excited because I will have more personal time!

She looked pretty cool when we told her she’s going to leave the current school and join the new school soon. She said, “Old school finish, next is new school. Say Bye to old friends and play with new friends.”

Mummy is Hermione

Hubby told me the little one was a very good girl when I wasn’t around. She’s very obedient. She ate, played and slept well when I was away. Sometimes she would talk to herself, “Where’s Mummy?…in Wai Gong’s house…”

When Hubby took her to Forum, she said, “Alvin and Felicity go shopping. Where’s Qiu Pei Jun?”

When I was back, I showed her the photos taken in Malaysia. She looked at my temporary curly hairstyle in the photos and said, “Mummy is Hermione!” Hermione from Harry Potter has curly hair.

I Want to Fly!

I’m going back to my hometown early tomorrow morning to attend my friend’s wedding. I’m going back  on my own…just me…no Qianyi..no Hubby…

Will get to see many old friends tomorrow. I am really excited.

Me:  Mummy’s going to Wai Gong’s house tomorrow. Do you want to go?

QY: No, I want to stay at home with Daddy!

Me: What do you want to do with Daddy? Do you want to go shopping?

QY: I don’t want to go shopping! I want to sleep.

Me: You want to sleep whole day? So boring… Don’t you want to sleep with Mummy? Go to Wai Gong’s house..sleep with Mummy, ok?

QY: No, I want to sleep with Daddy.

Me: Go to Wai Gong’s house lah..play with Ah Mei jie-jie…

QY: No, I want to rest rest at home.

So, I’m coming back on Sunday… Hubby will cook for the little one, bathe her, brush her teeth and pat her to sleep… He’ll get to spend some really precious quality time with the little princess.

Daddy is nicer…:-(

There’s a cute conversation between Qianyi and her daddy early this morning.

Daddy: Is Qianyi naughty or nice?

Qianyi: Nice

Daddy: Is Daddy naughty or nice?

Qianyi: Nice

Daddy: Is Mummy naughty or nice?

Qianyi: Naughty

   

Our Mooncake Festival

We celebrated our Mooncake Festival at Esplanade this year. Planned to let Qianyi join the kids with lanterns there but it started drizzling before we finished our dinner.

Back home, we enjoyed the nice mooncake from Conrad Hotel but the little one refused to taste it. She preferred to have the one from her school. While she was eating, she said, “Hmm..yummy…”

It feels so good to be pampered :)

For the past 3 nights, Hubby was having a good time watching Singapore F1 night race LIVE!

Maybe he’s a bit guilty… He brought me and the little one to Takashimaya yesterday, bought me two pairs of shoes, a handbag and a silk nightie.

Oh, I didn’t expect to receive so many presents..

It feels so good to be pampered…heehee…

She Guessed It Right!

Qianyi’s speech therapist, KY is heavily pregnant now. Qianyi loves looking at KY’s big tummy. Here’s a little conversation between KY and Qianyi during our session the other day…

KY: My tummy again… Qianyi, what’s inside my tummy?

Qianyi: Baby

KY: Is it a boy or girl?

Qianyi: Boy

KY: You guessed it right!

………..

KY: Hey Qianyi, is it a girl inside my tummy?

Qianyi: No no no no no… It’s a boy!

Hahaha…how come she’s so sure??

090909

090909, what a special day… Many people think it’s an auspicious date. Today, my dearest hubby is turning 37!

Here’s a photo of Hubby at his 4th birthday. He’s so cute, didn’t look like a Chinese at all. When I first met him, I didn’t think he’s a Chinese. He looked so handsome with big and beautiful eyes.

Yesterday, I told Qianyi to write on the birthday card for her daddy. This is the first time she actually wrote something on her own. After writing, “Daddy…happy birthday…Qianyi”, she continued to write alphabet and numbers on it…very funny. She decorated the envelop too. She drew lots of birthday cakes on it..:)

When Hubby came home last night, she said Happy Birthday to him. She said she wanted the birthday cake. I told her we would buy a cake today but she couldn’t wait. So, we baked a vanilla cake together last night. She kept saying, “I want to do it!” So, we let her try everything including cutting the cake.

Today is Hubby’s birthday but he has to work. He’s busy during lunch hour too. But he had the cake for breakfast this morning because it’s a cake baked with love.

On this day, I hope all the good things will be 99 (long-lasting), especially our love, happiness and good health…

Happy Birthday, the love of my life! Muack…
