What We've Been Up To in Oct/Nov

Play Date with Zac, Elijah and Natalie at Uncle Eugene's and Auntie Amelia's house. That's me checking out Zac's cool toys.

That's me at Ikea playing at an activity booth. We like to go there for breakfast sometimes.

Daddy and Mummy popped by JB for a date with each other and with Mr Bak Kut Teh, Mrs Sesame Chicken and Miss Ginseng Chrysanthemum Tea. The coffee shop may be shabby but the food certainly isn't (so says Daddy and Mummy... I can't be sure about it cos they didn't bring me along).


We went swimming at Uncle Chung Jye's place except nobody was doing the swimming except me. Daddy and Uncle Chung Jye just sat around the jacuzzi pool and talked. In case they refute that, I've asked Mummy to post the picture of them doing so here.

We've been building things out of the Duplo blocks which Uncle Royston and Auntie Angeline passed to us before they left for Sydney. Actually, Daddy's the one who has been doing the building. Mummy only knows how to stack them up to make towers of varying heights (of which there can be only so many variations) and I only know how to dismantle the Duplo structures. Above is a picture of the giraffe Daddy made and had me pose beside.

Uncle James, Auntie Germaine and didi Gabriel came to visit us. :)

This is us riding the sky train at the airport. Daddy and Mummy brought me there to see the airplanes.

At the play corner at T3.


We thank God for each day we have as a family and for His providence and love for us. We're really looking forward to December when we'll be going for church camp at Port Dickson and also celebrating the birth of Jesus. :)

Ethan has been picking up lots of new words lately, especially in the past month or so. We marvel at his ability to take in new sights, sounds, touch and tastes every day; basically we're amazed at his enormous propensity to learn! He's always exploring - touching, prodding, poking, throwing, spinning, examining, picking, patting, pushing, pulling and tasting (ok, this one we're not so wild about). His excitement and joy in exploring and discovering new things each day simply amazes me. There's a lot adults can learn from children in this respect. :)

Thought I'll just record down the words (besides daddy, mummy etc) Ethan can say so far. Here goes:

bye bye, cup, ball, cold, nana (banana), car, bear, star, pat-pat, wet, walk, please, go, no, bread (no surprises here), milk, flower, tree, grapes, cloud, cross, me, Amen, bus, apple, thirty (cos that's the floor that we live on), two (which the waitress at Thai Express taught him), baby, comb, peach, nose, eye, toes, spoon, key, cartoon, pen, cat, pear, button, bag, belt, albert (alphabet), man, blanket, circle, square, bubbles, up, down, press, keep, plants, kick, step, windmill, raining, so pretty, arrow, airplane, turtle, duck, moon, exercise, fish, orange, shark, rabbit, cheese, sleep, open, close, exit, leaves, penguin, train, water, yogurt, jump, book, tear, tongue, bottle, zhu (as in Mandarin for pig), bao bao (as in Mandarin for carry).

Ok, that's all I can recall for now! :)
