Story Story Nite

The public library at my place is doing their best upgrading and getting more and more books for us. Daddy and mummy like to borrow fun, colorful, and educational books for me. The most important part is, the words must be big big one for a 4 years+ old me to read.


Recently, daddy found some of HIS favorite books as below:

"BB, don't waste water", "BB, close the tap"... etc etc. These are the words my daddy always said. So when he saw this book, he was more excited than me.

This is another book that my daddy likes. Do you turn off your light when you leave your room?

Below are some science books mummy thought really educational. Daddy mummy didn't even know some of the facts. Let's see.

This book is about a lizard named Gecko loses its tail!

Getting to know more about Geckos. Some real interesting facts about Geckos. Mummy never knew Geckos also use their tongue to clean their eyes!

A book about busy little bees.

Many facts that most adults don't even know. For eg. drones (male bees) do not have stings, bees cannot see red! Bees do a special dance and form an '8' when they found food. Cool!

Now a book about ants. My house got many ants. LOL!

I always wondered how the ants find their way home. Now I know. They leave a trail of scent wherever they go. Do you know? =)

I like this book, butterfly is very beautiful.

Interesting facts about butterflies: they are near-sighted, they can smell flower's fragrance from as far as one to two kilometres away using their antennae or feelers.

To share or not to share my toys or food with others, it all depend on my mood. If I'm in good-mood form, I'd share a thing or two. If not, no talk. So mummy always headache teaching me 'share share share'. Moral of this book is "It is better to share things, and have less, than to have nothing at all."

I've a bad habit, which is I lost interest in one thing very fast, cannot concentrate in one thing. So daddy borrow this book for me so I can understand the importance of 'concentration'.

We played under the table this afternoon. Mummy sticked the pictures and I sticked the words accordingly. I've forgotten some of the words as long time no play. Then mummy tried to give me a simple word and I tried to find a related picture and make a simple sentence. Eg. 船 (boat) & 爸 (father), I put 爸 under 船 and said  爸 爸坐船 (father sit in the boat).  

My another name is Teoh "monyet". XD

OK! OK! A proper one. 

With mummy's help.

Chopsticks Training

Age: 4 years, 7 months, 1 week old

Backdate #3

Date: 31 Jan 2011

I showed some interests on using chopsticks lately, so mommy thought it's time, I'm ready to be trained on the right way of holding the chopsticks. So she bought me a pair of training chopsticks online. 

The training chopsticks have 2 holes (yellow and green) meant to stick my index and ring finger in. But I found it rather hard to hold, so I took them out, and there I go.

I can do better without the holes. Hahahhaha!!!

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. 

Learn Chinese

Age: 4 years, 4 months, 1 week, 5 days old

Mommy was amazed by my memorizing skill. We played Chinese flashcard yesterday. This was my first time. First, mommy combined the picture and the word cards for me to recognize the words. Then mommy took all the picture cards, asked me to point to the correct word when she showed me a picture card. I got it all correct. Mommy was really amazed as some words are quite complicated e.g. 猫 (cat), 船 (boat), 树 (tree), and 球 (ball). 

I arranged them this way. It looked like a birthday cake for me. =)
