Hihi Papa's handsome darling!! Been some time since I wrote to you on LJ.. What have you been up to in the past two three days?? On Wednesday Gong Gong Ma Ma Papa and you went to Botanic Gardens. Your first time there.. This two weeks really mark so many of your first times! Lately you seem like you have grown to be very interested in animals. Suddenly you also always want to eat only raisin bread.. Hmm.. Wonder why. That day you even wanted to feed the fish inside the pond with your bread. Haha we have been trying so hard to teach you to share your toys and books with your cousins G and R, that day you said "I want share-share!!" Now your favorite words are "I want!" "Dowan!" "No!" and"Bao-bao!" (carry) When I think of some more I will write them down. You're starting to speak more words at one time now. On Thursday only me and you we went to ECP. It was a bit rainy. Cycled with you inside the baby seat.. You were so happy for the wind to blow against your face and hair. Later wading at the beach, you couldn't stop splashing about, laugh so loud!! Papa felt happy just to watch you. Realized that you really know how to entertain yourself even when nobody is playing with you! PLaying games with yourself on the sand. Taught you how to build sandcastle, end up you wanted to build Barney..which you call "Barbie". Caught some little crabbies and those small spiral shells for you to see and showed you how to dig dig dig in the sand until water comes out. Finally the Cambridge CDC near our house called to inform me of the schedule and fees and arrange a time to check it out.

Then so today Friday we went to take a look. It's really much cheaper there.. $580 for half day at Orange Tree but only $350 full day there. But I personally prefer half day but Cambridge only offer half day 7 am to 1 pm, it doesn't have afternoon session half day. ANd how can Papa bear to send you to school full day from 7 am to 7 pm?? You will go school before I go work and come home after I end..even worst than working!! Personally I think in every aspect so far I am leaning towards Orange Tree lah. Except for the distance and the fees.. But I have a plan to work out the distance and timing lah. Ma Ma will bring you to school in the afternoon then she will have the rest of the day free, then at night I will go and pick you up. But $275 for half day at Cambridge is less than half of $580. Hmm.. Anyway today you were quite interested in the class there also. You were quite shy though.. Keep on sticking to Papa and try to hide behind my legs! But I have no doubt you will show your true colors once you get warmed up! Haha!! Don't worry I will take my time to consider properly. Nothing but the best for you okay? (As far as I can afford bah) Your Da Gu suggested sending you for class at Julia Gabriel Language School unfortunately your Lao Pa not loaded.. Thought you would be interested to share the name of the school though. We left the childcare at 1 pm when the kids took their nap. Partly because Papa was lazy, decided to go home. Then you decided to throw another one of your tantrums at Papa when I refuse to carry you. Such a big boy going to school already should be able to walk by yourself! Hardly a day passes without you throwing at least one tantrum.. Screaming and shouting and crying! In the end I just pretended to ignore you and walk on but you were not scared. Bet it's because it's near our house anyway. I wished that it was a more unfamiliar place then can scare you a bit for being so naughty! Haha bad Papa. Finally you made a game out of the whole thing by running after me then demand that I bao-bao and stop, sit down on the floor and cry when I refuse.. When I walk on then you run up again and repeat it. I suspect you just wanted to have some fun and still pretending to cry and scream.

This coming weekend will be my last two free days with you before my leave finish. This two weeks I have had FULL EXPOSURE to your Terrible Two! But there are also many times that you are very sweet. Hard to judge if you are more terrible or more sweet.. Fifty fifty bah. I would love to spend more time with you if I could. Even though you are so difficult at times. Look at it positively, you got character. Just like your Papa. Okay give your Barney show few more minutes to end then we will clear up your Lego and read Goodnight Moon and koon-koon liao! Youa re the best behaved when you are fast asleep! Aiyah how come LJ server down.... Post this entry another time bah. Ok getting this posted now!
