Coloring Contest

Age: 4 years, 5 months, 1 day old


Public Bank is just few steps away from Yeh-Yeh's shop. As I was 'working' in Yeh-Yeh's shop last Saturday morning, I saw many kids in Public Bank. Out of curiosity, I went and checked it out with daddy. Oh, Public Bank was organizing a coloring contest. We stood outside, I wanted to participate but.................


"My shoes are so dirty, cannot go in" I told daddy.
"Oh never mind, we go in and ask first", daddy said.


The contest was for age 5 and above only, I wasn't qualified to participate but I can join in just for the fun sake, the person in charge told daddy. I was so happy. We quickly went back home, told mommy this good news and changed my dirty clothes and shoes. And not forgetting my color pencils. =) Mommy thought this is my first time in coloring contest (just for fun), so she insisted to follow me there to take photos.

I was arranged specially by them to sit in the office, instead of outside with all the contestants. I color fish.

"Mommy, you go home la!" I told mommy. Mommy was surprised and thought "oh, my girl has grown up, so independent now, no need me accompany anymore. Shhh me back some more"

There was another girl, her daddy is one of Public Bank's stuff, so she cannot participate in the contest, but just for fun in the office. I took the initiative, went and said "hello" to her, and asked whats her name. But I couldn't remember her name after that. :P Mommy was quite impressed on my initiative. Always be friend with people. =)

Again, I said "Mommy, you can go home now". "OK! OK! Last photo" Mommy had no choice but to leave. 

This is the area. Full of kids.

All colored with crayon, not color pencils.

1 hour later, mommy came again, I almost finished, final touched up.

We become good friends straight away. LOL!

My work! I said "I got #1". =P

Then we went upstairs for some refreshment. I sapu 2 curry puffs and 3 banana cakes. Yummy yummy.

Mommy asked "do you want to go home now?" "NO" I replied. We played balloon in the office then.

"First price goes to................Teoh Yin Yue"..... LOL!!! I wish loh! They are all professional little "colorist" (hahaha, got such word or not, very pro in coloring). All must have been taking coloring classes. 

My Little Brother is Popping OUT!!!

Age: 4 years, 4 months, 4 weeks old


Hahahhaa, don't panic, not the real one. I play play only one. :P


As mommy was relaxing her legs to help with the blood circulation and water retention, I told mommy "Mommy, I'm the nurse, daddy is the doctor (daddy was actually solving his puzzle then), and baby is coming out OK?" I quickly put a white cloth near mommy's bottom, so that we won't dirty the bed when baby is out. "Mommy, if baby is coming out, you yell HELP NURSE! OK?" Mommy was a very obedient patient I have. Hahahhaa... Oh yeah, throughout the play, I didn't call mommy, I called "Connie Mooi" instead, because she was my patient ma. :P

I put this white cloth here.

Connie Mooi yelled "HELP NURSE, HELP! My baby is coming out!" I quickly put on my GLOVE and ask Connie Mooi to PUSH!!! She had to push twice, and POP, baby is out.

Here me - the nurse, holding the unwashed baby boy and said "I go and wash baby first ah".

Here I'm washing the baby. After that, I brought it back to my patient Connie Mooi and told her it's a baby boy. I let her kiss the baby and put the baby next to her. =p

After giving birth to about 5 to 6 babies (I requested her to), my turn to deliver then. Mommy was the nurse, and daddy was the doctor. We repeated the same thing, call help, push, wash baby, kiss baby and put baby next to me. It was very fun. =D 

Puzzle Puzzle Puzzle

Age: 4 years, 4 months, 4 weeks

My whole family is crazy about puzzle now. Mommy and daddy had been busy solving their so-called adult puzzle, and me with my own so-called kids puzzle. I kept asking "Mommy, why kid cannot solve adult puzzle lerh?" =)

When daddy was still scratching head where that puzzle piece should go, I already solved like 30% of mine. And I asked "Daddy, why you so slow one?" :P 

Last night, they finally solved their 'very difficult' puzzle. 

Buzzy Bee

Age: 4 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 5 days old

Buzz buzz buzz! We made a buzzy bee yesterday. Mommy learnt it from http://www.crafty-crafted.com. 

Paint the toilet paper roll yellow.

Let it dry or use hair dryer to blow it, faster. =)

Mommy cut three black strips, and I paste it onto the toilet paper roll.

One strip, 2 strips, 3 strips... 

Paint my finger white and stamp on it as eyes.

The bee needs wings to fly. I drew 2 circles on white paper (yes, it's an old magazine) and mommy cut them out.

Paste the wings at the back.

Time to draw the bee's eyebrows and mouth. Mommy scared I'd spoil the whole thing so she drew them first with pencil then I followed the lines with marker.

Hahahha, I accidentally drew an extra dot near the mouth. It looks like a mole. :p

Paste the straw onto the toilet paper roll. We didn't have pipe cleaner, so we use the straws. :P

Hooray!!! My buzzy bee is done. It can fly very high! =D

See the mole? LOL!

More Challenging Puzzle

Age: 4 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 4 days old

My old puzzle is no longer challenging for me, I can simply solve it in less than 5 minutes (54-piece). No worries, I still love solving it. Daddy got another puzzle from my aunt (小姑), it's 500 pieces. Not for me, but for himself. Right after solving my old puzzle last night, daddy opened up his 500-piece puzzle, I was so excited. "Yeah! New puzzle", I said.

Happily took out the pieces. Wow, these pieces are much smaller than my puzzle. 

This is the puzzle. I don't know how to say it, but it will be very beautiful when we switch off the light.

As usual, daddy said separate them into 3 sections (2 lines, 1 line and no line). "This one no line, this one 1 line, this one no line, this one no line, this one no line, this one 1 line.........."

AH!!! The pieces are too small and too many. I better coloring. =P

At the end, mommy and daddy solved the puzzle. Spent about 1 hour only solved 4 side lines. Really not easy ah.

Lovely and Jealous Sunday

Age: 4 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 3 days old


It was quite a fun and happening Sunday as my cousin sister (Hui-Hui), Da gu (aunt), Da Gu Zhang (uncle) and Siao Gu (aunt) all came back. Suddenly the house was full of people. I had the chance to play with Hui-Hui again. But jealousness still can be found in me. Hui-Hui is about 2 years old in another 3 months, she likes to play with my daddy (as my daddy is so cheerful, all kids like him :P). She always called my daddy her 'daddy', and call her own daddy 'papa'. She likes my daddy to carry her, whenever she does that, I'd ask daddy to carry me as well (jealous ma). Mommy always pity daddy has to carry 2 girls, 1 right 1 left. Luckily daddy is quite strong. =D She has her own nice pink tricycle but she insisted to sit on my 'lauya' cheap tricycle. Daddy and mommy always advised me to let her sit as her own pink tricycle seems a bit too big for her, she can't reach the pedal. Sometimes I'd give, but sometimes I'd show faces. :( But after all, I love Hui Hui. :p


After they left at about 4pm-ish, we (mommy, daddy and I) had our little family game, we played the 'snake game' (I wonder is it called snake game? ;p)

I was the first one to start. Yeah! I got 6.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.... (half-way through...)

It was fun, as throughout the journey, I climbed up the ladders and slided from the snakes too. LOL =D

When climbed up ladder that time, sure happy la, fly like aeroplane.

When 'kena' snake, this look.

This was my last, I got 5 and I reached the 'FINISH' line.

Yippee!!! I was the first to reach the 'FINISH'. Yeah, I am the champion! Then mommy and daddy carried on, mommy was the second and daddy was the last. =D

After the 'snake' game, we continued with this game. Mommy thought she knows how to play this game, but at the end nobody knows, not even daddy. So we played our own way. Hahaha.. :D

Oh! Not to forget this one. After the game, we went to Mr. DIY to see see look look as suggested by auntie Alice. Mommy found out the stuff there are quite cheap. Not many puzzles tho. At the end, mommy bought some stuff for DiDi (my little brother) and a brand new kitty toothbrush + toothbrush holder for me (I chose this myself). =D

I'm a Teacher

Age: 4 years, 4 months, 3 weeks old

Other than bride, I like to be a teacher too. Read story books to daddy mommy and also teach daddy to write. Last night I wanted to teach daddy the Chinese character strokes that mommy taught me. 

Usually when mommy teach me, she'd sit behind me and her hand would hold on to my hand and guide me. I wanted to do the same thing too on daddy, but my hand is too small to hold on to daddy's hand. So ended up, I hold the pencil at the bottom part, and daddy hold slightly above my hand. "Come, daddy, 人 has 2 strokes, 1 and 2, ok?" I said. =p

When I can do what I wanted to do, satisfaction guaranteed. I'm a teacher now, taught myself proudly. Hehehe.. ;)

"Mommy, take 1 more picture" I requested. 

My Wedding

Age: 4 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 6 days old

I like to be a bride very much lately, can say I'm crazy over it. When my wedding gown is on, mommy can't call me 'bb' or 'Yin Yue' anymore, must call me '新娘' (bride). But she kept forgetting. 

I'm a bride now, must call me '新娘' (bride). When I'm a bride, I'd do everything patiently (including homework) and more girly, cough also cough like a bride, very 'si mun' and soft :P 

Ta-da!!! This is my wedding gown. I'm the bride of the night. 

And daddy cannot run away too, he is my 新郎 (groom). Mommy cannot call him 老公 or daddy, must call him 新郎.
(*mommy rolled her eyes) 

Our wedding, 新郎 kiss 新娘.  

新郎 and 新娘 hug hug.

And we live happily ever after. Hahaha... =D
