| Woof! Woof! |
 Tomorrow will be Chinese New Year's eve and we will welcoming the year of the Dog soon. I am sure everyone are busy doing their once-a-year spring cleaning at their respective home and preparing for the big reunion dinner. J and I are no exceptions. We have been shopping for more than 3 weekends to get Little Skywalker some new clothes and new toys. J also exchanged plenty new notes to be used as ang pow money (there goes our bonus!). We do not need to do much cleaning at home except to vacuum every spot and everything in the house as we will be spending most of the time in either my parents or my in-laws' place.
This will be Little Skywalker's second Chinese New Year since he was born. Our family started to celebrate the Big Day in KL area since last year. We used to travel back to our hometown, Parit (somewhere near Ipoh) before that. It's more exciting and happening at our hometown. Nevertheless, it's also fun to celebrate CNY at KL as there will be less traveling needed since everyone lives quite close to each other. My newly-wed brother (in Penang) and my sister (in Singapore) will be arriving at KL today.
J will still be working half day tomorrow. I will be at home with Little Skywalker as usual. I am still deciding whether to bring Little Skywalker to a small bloggers' gathering at 1U because nobody wants to go with me. I needed someone to hold Little Skywalker down while I am driving since I do not have a car seat for him. Even if I had, I doubt he would wanna be strapped in. Anyway, I hope someone would be kind enough to fetch us there (*wink).
J and I will be off for the whole of next week. Hence, this blog will not be updated for the next 9 days. My family and I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone:
Happy Chinese New Year
恭喜发财, 财源广进
龙马精神, 身体健康
年年有余, 一家团圆
 狗年发大财!
汪! 汪! 汪!
旺! 旺! 旺!
p/s: Jazz, how's my son's card? LOL! |

| Back To School |
 Little Skywalker spends most of his time at my parents' house during the weekdays. His favourite playmate is my 13-years-old brother and my 3-years-old dog. He usually follows my parents to send my brother off to his school. It's not surprising that he's able to pick up words such as bag, book, school, school bus, pen, pencil etc. easily.
Ever since someone gave Little Skywalker a bag and us buying him a table, he likes to carry his bag and pretend to be at school when he comes home with us. He would open up his book and flipping it non-stop while muttering on pictures that he recognizes.
I guess the little guy just can't wait to go to school!

| Naughty Face |
Being the mischievous monkey of the household, Little Skywalker is always entertaining us with his funny antics. A few days ago, he showed me his latest trick.
Behold, "My Naughty Face!"
With any luck, J and I will get a hint before he plans anything naughty in the future... |

| Moon! Moon! |
Little Skywalker was playing with his magnetic dust drawing board in the living hall one afternoon. J and I were doing some house work (mine was probably watching TV). Out of the blue, Little Skywalker came running towards and kept yelling, "Moon! Moon!". Despite being proud at his perfect pronunciation, we were still puzzled as to how he managed to catch a glimpse of any moon in the middle of the day, not to mentioned being indoor.
As we were still hanging by our jaws trying to figure out the situation, Little Skywalker persisted with his "Moon! Moon!" chant and tried to pull us by our fingers to see "his moon"...
Voila! "His Moon"!
p/s: This Luke van Gogh masterpiece entitled "His Moon" is being auctioned at RM1 million! |

| Talk About Bad Gifts... |
My son was invited to a birthday party by that funny mummy whose job was to hunt down people's head (head-hunter). As a proud tradition of mankind, we planned to bring along a present in "exchange" or the free lunch at Burger King. We were supposed to get the present on Saturday evening when we went shopping at Tesco, but I guess we were distracted by the crazy kiasu crowd there. I mean they basically killing each other over some boxes of so-called honey mandarin and soft drinks. So much for developed mindset!
 J and I brought Little Skywalker to have our breakfast at Jusco on Sunday morning around 11am as well as to buy a birthday present. Probably due to the "traumatic" experience the night before, I got the gender of the birthday person all wrong! I thought it was Reeve's (her son who was actually just over 16 months old) third birthday instead of Renee (her daughter). We ended up getting the wrong stuff! Served me right for reading over 30+ of parents' blogs daily and get mixed up with all the names of the "little people".
 It was not until we arrived at Burger King that J realized my HUGE mistake! Being stucked between making a total ass of ourselves and giving Renee a "weird" present, we chose the former. Fortunately that funny mommy emphasized repeatedly when she invited us about "NO GIFTS!". Or else, we might have just took off immediately!
 The party was great! (I totally recommend her as a party planner!) I got to meet up with other bloggers including r&r mami, Ray Ern's mum and Lauren's mum for the first time. Although we did not talked much (probably feeling too pai seh for "not bringing any present!") and spent most of the time chasing after hyperactive kids around, we enjoyed it very much (you can read more about it here). Little Skywalker was his sociable self as usual, he hugged almost all the children that were present at the party and made many new friends. Other mommies were quite convinced about what I wrote previously how Little Skywalker is not afraid of strangers.
 Later at night, we were deciding on what to do with the "bad gift" that we bought. Unfortunately for poor souls like us, shopping malls in Malaysia do not have any return policy. Or else, we would have exchanged it for a Barbie doll or something more girly for cute little Renee. Finally, I decided to keep the present for myself and get another replacement gift for Renee later. As you can see, we actually bought a remote control F1 car intended for a three year old boy! Too bad it never reached its intended recipient...
 After putting in the batteries, I tried out remote car in front of Little Skywalker. He was quite ecstatic and scared at the same time. After a few minutes of careful maneuvering, I finally calmed him down as he watched me "drove" happily around the house for the next 10 minutes (I guess boys will be boys... forever!).
As I took a break from "driving", J decided to take over the steering wheel and continued my task of entertaining Little Skywalker. She made the car go around him in circular pattern instead. Little Skywalker was spinning himself (and laughing all the way) while locking his eyes on the car as well.
 A few seconds later, something horrible happened! I did not witness the event as I had my back facing them. All I heard was Little Skywalker crying! I guess the poor guy must be feeling dizzy and sick from all the spinning and fell on the floor. (Lesson learned: never let a mummy behind the wheel of an F1 car!) On the bright side, he only fell sitting down on his ass. Unfortunately, he landed on the F1 car and got bruised on his thigh! As you can see from the picture, it looked as if it crashed into a wall and damaged it's front wheel! It's such a pity that my new toy didn't survived even 30 minutes after coming out of it's box...
Served me right for buying the wrong present!
p/s: Sorry Renee, u.Egghead learned his lesson :( |
