CNY Day 2 - Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

I started out the morning wallowing in all the Angpow wrappers I collected on my rounds the day before. I wonder if I'll collect even more today! If there's gonna be a whole lot more to add to my collection, I'd say, "Let's get Piggy with it!".
So fun! *squeal!*

We pay Isabel jiejie a visit.. can you see her doggie in the left background? I love doggies too!

Aargh!! Jamie jiejie, please dont squeeze me so tight...

Not sure I quite understand what LoHei is all about. To me, it just looks like the adults are playing with the food. Tossing and throwing everything into the air. Half of the stuff didn't even land on the big dish Ah Ma laid out. They landed on the table instead! Adults sure do some really strange things!

CNY Day 1 - Gong Xi Gong Xi!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!
Most importantly, to everyone, don't forget to pass me your Angpows!

More picts later, when Mummy has some time to upload them... as you can see, all the festivities have left me and Sarah jiejie DEADBEAT!!

Reunion Dinner at Ah Ma's

Did I mention that I finally got my push walker some time back and I'm thrilled to be able to stroll all over the house? Well, at least I've got some brand new tricks to show off to Ah Ma and the other relatives this coming CNY!

That's me attempting to stand up and start my stroll around the house, shortly after being let down from the highchair, while everyone else is tucking into the yummy steamboat which Ah Ma has prepared!

Okie, now, a dry run of the CNY visitations I'll be busy with tomorrow...
First, I wow Ah Ma with my walking prowess! Heh heh heh!

See! That's Ah Ma saying "Wow!" :)
Next, I pop down to where Gugu is sitting,

Then, a visit to Sarah jiejie and Jiujiu,

Finally, cap off my practice session with a visit to Ah Gong, who has lured me with some of the yummiest teeny, tiny mandarins.

Ching chong chang!

Daddy calls this my Mad Scientist hairdo! Think I need a new stylist!
Spurred on by her colleagues, Mummy decided to get me a chingchong suit for the coming Chinese New Year! So right after work on Friday evening, Mummy promptly brought me down to Chinatown to take in the sights and try on some suits.

Standing Tall and New Milk

Lately, I've been gaining some new found confidence and have gradually been standing up on my own without wobbling off to fall onto the floor.

Mummy's also been testing out something she calls "formula milk" on me. Sheesh! I feel like a guinea pig!

Slinged!

Today, Mummy was really busy with her work and Papa decided to take me downstairs for a walk in the sling... I wasn't too pleased!

11 months old - Toothless Grin

Mummy's getting abit worried cos most of my baby friends already have a mouthful of teeth and I'm still bogeh at 11 months!

Little Miss Neighbourhood

I've become quite popular among the jiejies and gorgors and the Filipina aunties in the neightbourhood. There are always squeals of, " Hello Ernie! How are you today?", whenever Gonggong takes me for walks downstairs. A crowd usually gathers round too!

Here I am with my favourite S Jiejie. She's really fun and loves playing peekaboo and catch with me!

Shy girl *blush*

This is the million dollar vainsy pot pose which I flashed mummy as she asked me to smile for the camera! Heh heh hehe... Its my act shy smile!

Bedtime

More poses... I'm just glad to turn on my megawatt smile even at bedtime!

Say cheese!

Lately, Mummy says I've been quite the poseur! Everytime I see Mummy wielding the camera, I'll turn around and give her a bright, sunny smile. How's that for a pose?

Noddy

Here I am! Doing what I absolutely luurrve! Yep, you guessed it! Mummy says everytime I see the steering wheel, I start kicking and squealing in excitement! Dunno why also, I simply love spinning the wheel...

Hop on Noddy! We're going on a ride!

Mealtime at Ikea

I love hanging out at Ikea... So many big gorgors and jiejies running around, having fun! I like!

HAIZ!! But dunno why I'm stuck up here in my highchair, when I really want to join in the fun there--->

10 months - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wishing all my loyal fans a fruitful 2007!
btw, I turn 10 months old tomorrow!

Pigging Out!

Mummmmph!! Mummy says I shouldn't talk with my mouth full!

Stolen glances

Quite the TV addict I've become...

even at mealtimes, I sometimes try to steal a peek at the telly, especially if my favourite character Ah Wang's on! Mummy says, "Bad Arie, naughty Arie!! Dont watch too much TV!".

Spread a Little Christmas Cheer!

Merry Christmas to One and All!!

Rock Star Ernie is here to spread some Christmas Cheer from right here in my playpen!

Today's programme will include a lively demonstration of some exercises to work off that belly from all that festive bingeing!
1st up! Lie your belly on a festive balloon and roll around to work on those abs!

Then, follow with some push ups, and lastly butt raises to tone those glutes!

There you go! All ready for the next round of bingeing!

Baby on Board!

Whoa! Mummy's stepped out of the car for awhile, so I'm secretly having a go at the steering wheel. Sssshhhh! Dont tell her 'kay? Or I dont friend you...

Time to change gear... heehee

Just like the bright yellow sign on the back of Mummy's car says - BABY ON BOARD!

Telly belly

Mama says I watch too much TV. She says I'm becoming quite a TV addict... Ooops.. there goes my favourite TV commercial... teeheeeheee

Guess its back to healthier pursuits like er... bat the inflatable ball! Whoopee!

L-plate Driver

Here I am...
a learner driver, a picture of studied concentration.

Let's see, check rearview mirror, check blindspot, signal right...

A walkie for me please?

I can tell Mummy's dithering about getting me a walker. She's read somewhere that they're not so good for me. So she's not quite sure about getting one for home, in case I spend too many hours in it.
So far, she's only let me sit in them at the shopping centres for a few minutes. I dont see why she can't just get me one already, they're such fun!

The Sniffles

The sniffles have come to visit me.

Mummy's pinned on a little handkerchief liberally doused in SnuffleBabe to soothe me.

Aaaaah! Works like a miracle every time!

Astro baby bites back!

Here I am enjoying my favourite rubbery snack.
Let's start with the tail first...

There's nothing I like more than chomping into a balloon poodle. Mmmmmppphh!!

After the lunch

Today seems like a great day for catching up with old friends. First, the lunchie with the other babies (see previous post). After the lunch, we went over to Marina Square cos Mummy decided she had to make a beeline for Kiddy Palace to get me some knee pads for crawling around at home.

Guess who I met there? Yep, you guessed it! I saw Mr Happy Feet himself - Mumble. Had to have some picts taken with him (even if it's just a cut-out. heeheehee). :-)

March Babies Luncheon

Today, we had a gathering of my March baby friends at the Grand Plaza Park Royal.
I met my old friends and had a roaring good time, whilst Mummy gorged herself silly on salmon sashimi, mushrooms and definitely ODed on dessert. Ahem... Mummy, you might wanna watch your waistline.

It was great to meet my friends again and check out how big and strong we all had grown over the past few months. There were also some new faces. I enjoyed making new friends and catching up with the old.

Can you spot me?

Splish, splash!

Splish, splash, splosh!
Whoooooosh!
Fizzzzzz... ...

The Bugis Junction water feature looks fun to splash around in. Like the blowholes on a whale's back.
Whoooosh! I love watching the big kids splash around and frolic in the water on such a hot afternoon. It must be fun! I wonder if Mummy will let me join them when I'm old enough?

Movie "Premiere"

HAPPY FEET! HAPPY FEET! Ooooh.. HAPPY FEET!

Daddy's gone fishing with Uncle T today, so Mummy decided we were gonna watch my first movie with Aunty B and Mama.

Off we went to Vivocity to get tickets. Mummy had lunch at Carl's Jr right next to the GV cinema. Woah! The Saturday afternoon queue for tickets was really long.

The movie was supposed to start at 6.10pm but by 6.15pm, they did not even let us in. There was a big crowd gathered at the entrance. A nice young man explained that there had been a technical glitch during the previous movie, and as a result, the show hadn't ended yet. So our show was delayed.

While waiting, I decided I was ready for dinner. So, Mama whipped out her trusty Thermos of porridge and began to feed me. I must have seemed really adorable to the adults around, cos a nice uncle took out a balloon from his bag, blew it up and twisted it into a poodle and gave it to me there and then! I luuurve balloons. Can't resist sinking my teeth into them, even with my mouth full of porridge. Hehehee..

Mid-dinner, they started to let us into the theatre. Good thing I got to finish the rest of my meal in front of the gigantic screen while the commercials were playing, cos it was getting really crowded and warm in the lobby.


This being my first time at the cinema, I was really impressed with the HUGE screen and the surround sound. I could not keep my eyes off the screen.

Er... ok, a quick smile for the camera before the movie starts then.

Soon, the movie started.

As you can see, I was simply enthralled by the show. Mumble the Penguin was really cute. Mummy promised she'd take me to see REAL penguins in Melbourne when I'm slightly older. Oooh! I can hardly wait!

Santa's Lil' Helper

Mike test. Testing, 1, 2, 3... ...

Ho Ho Ho!
Merry Christmas!

9 months - Daddy's girl

I'm 9 months old today. A big girl now.


But that doesn't stop me from being Daddy's favourite little girl. Snoozing away, safe and sound in his arms.
