hyper-active

I am getting more active now....refused to go home till 1pm+ and mummy had to put me into the stroller. I was having fun at the bed....jumping, crossing-over another bed. Daddy saw the video and said "this girl crazy liao!". Mum more open as felt kids at my age are more active now. Wooahhh! I've got mummy's support. Its part of a motor-skill, right? Ikea policy is : Learn through play including climbing up & down! my excuse...hee! hee!

Today, tried on new method to make daddy carry me....I said "pain pain" and bent my waist. Aiya! Daddy don't believe me still.....hmmmm...will try harder again ;)

chatty & 这 是 什 么 颜 色

@Ikea this morning, mummy test me colours on chinese and asked 这 是 什 么 颜 色 的 老 鼠 (what color is the toy mouse?") whilst she held a black mouse. I answered "黑色”。 And she picked another colour of the toy mouse and I said it with more expression “白 色 老 鼠”- white mouse. Mummy picked a grey mouse and I said it correctly "恢色老鼠”。 Mummy noticed my chinese pronunciation is getting better though still have some "ang moh" style slang.

During lunch, mummy showed me video and noticed I like to said it with more express words eg. 2 dogs, dogs running, dog dancing, cat playing, cat sleeping, mouse eating, 2 horses, bird flying, duck swimming, etc, etc.

I used my magic word "please" again. This time I asked mummy "please get down" while she laid on the bed and I pulled mummy's hand.

At anchorpoint this evening, I asked mummy "please carry me, see prata". Ha! I like to watch the "roti prata" man making prata and "copy" his action. During bathing. I will take my face towel, press hard and flip, flip. Initially, mummy don't understand why I pressed the towel until I said "flip". Also, I like to watch the dryer spinning @the laundry shop and I spin my head instead and happily laughing away. I wanted daddy to carry me but he don't buy my magic word "please" and I pretend to fall down as I said "fall down" but daddy still don't buy it ;(. Hmmm..... I will think of a new way to act more pitiful next time.

Yesterday, I told mummy "kana 妹 妹 where? no more play...no more 阿 姨”refering to aunt eileen. I met her at Anchorpoint with her daddy as aunt eileen still on confinement. Happy to see her and kept saying "kana 妹 妹" while daddy carried me and I shook hand with her. It was a short hello & bye as her dad bought back KFC to eat at home.

share & speed-read (2)

Mummy is glad I am able to understand the meaning of "share". This morning at Ikea, I was playing with the abacus and a little girl came towards me, I said "share share" and moved the abacus towards the girl. And also, I put some toys on the table and a boy took it and I said "share share". Whenever I was being pushed softly by other kids to take the toys I am holding at Ikea, mummy will try to explain to me that I have to share things with other sis/bro. On the other hand, mummy worry I might get bully in future if I go to school.

More words speaking sentence

1) Dad told mum yesterday that I am trying to speak more words sentence like "is a leaf" when I picked up a leaf at the playground.

2) This morning, when I woke up, I said "daddy, drink milk, get down bed" but I was surprised to see mummy at my room instead as daddy went to work already and gave a "where" sign.

3) When I woke up for my noon nap at 4pm+, saw my room door closed and said "open the door, find daddy, back at 7 o'clock" as I remembered mum told me that daddy will be back about 7pm+.

Confirmation on speed-reading

scenario 1 - I took out 2 chinese books "可爱的小猫咪”& "可爱的小白兔 " and asked mummy to read to me and said "fast fast". Mummy read without pointing words with fast past and she observed my eyes were moving along the words to the next page. Mummy was astonished at how fast I can absorb and never underestimate our in-born geniuses.

scenario 2 - I saw a big calendar of 三 字 经 (picture shown) beside my chest drawer and asked mummy again "fast fast" and mummy quickly recite it. Mummy test me where is the word "杨”and saw my eyes searching for the word and pointed correctly. "well done!" mummy said.


scenario 3) Yesterday, I took out one of my favourite book "Oh no!" and mummy read again with fast paced and this time, she asked me to read "fast fast". I did, but not in full correct sentences with some words skipped. This shown I am trying to speed read now.

Song

At cold storage this evening, mummy saw me trying to sing the "拳头" as I clenched my fists and opened, touch my eye, nose, ear, mouth while singing though mummy can't hear as she was queuing to pay for the food but can make out the signage. I saw mummy and called out "mummy, how are you?" mummy faintz....

小 天 才 game & speed-read

Just before I went to sleep at about 9pm+, mummy took out the "小 天 才" game for me to play. Mummy bought this game set quite some time ago and think it is time for me to understand how it play. This set suppose to aid us (toddlers) on all the "q"! - JQ, LQ, IQ, EQ, CQ - whatever Q ah! ha! ha! Anyway, mummy real purpose is to let me play hours to pass time! But of course mummy think this is a good education game to play. As mummy has shown me past few days on how to play, mummy set it up and put the clear plastic on the answer sheet and asked me to match the same picture. To mummy's surprise, I begining to understand how it works and placed it on my own on the same picture with only 2 mismatch out of 12 whilst mummy hand me over the number cubes 1 by 1. The attached picture shown was my 1st game page I've played. Afterwhich, I placed all the number cubes on the green plate as it has numbers 1 - 12 imprinted faintly and thought I supposed to match it accordingly.


Speed-read

I proceed to my "little libray" corner and took out the "童谣”mini-book and said it with a slang. Mummy read it to me and point the wordings. I told mummy "fast fast" meaning wants mummy to read fast to me! As mentioned before, I am an impatient girl ;).

As I've not learnt to point words (or rather lazy) but mummy would prefers me not to and read the word itself but daddy said pointing words to show I knew the words. Somehow, Shichida method on speed-reading is to NOT TO POINT WORDS! Though mummy is not into SM but more on GD method. Time will tell.

Results on setting my "little library" corner

"It works!" mummy said with delightful smile :). Eversince I've my own library, I keep going to take books to "read" and mummy will refresh with books I've not seen as not to get me bored with the same book. On little testing on reading on my own w/o pointing the words, mummy took a chinese book, turn to a page and asked me to read and I did! Of course, I said it very softly as mummy observed if I am not confident with the word I knew, I will say it very softly but mummy can make out the words I read.

船 和 床 (boat & bed)

When I woke up this morning, I said the chinese word "船" followed by english word "boat", 床 followed by english word "bed". Mummy realised I might be confused with these 2 chinese words as it is common to get confused with the almost same sounding words. Mum had learnt hard to pronounce properly too! Mum think I will confuse more with some chinese words of the almost same sounding like 检 (pick-up) and 剪 (cut). Hmmm...chinese learning not easy!

Mummy started to teach me some proper house-keeping manners as she has enough picking up things for me at home! When I took some books from my little library corner, mummy kept asking me to put the books back in my own bookshelf. I started to obey mummy well. "phew!"

Mummy observed me when I read a book and she secretly hide her laughter when I took the "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" book to read at the kitchen while mummy do the cooking.

I read the book as follows :-
egg, leaf, moon, sun, pop (Actual wordings - In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on the leaf......) and mumbled myself trying to read....until the last page I shouted "butterfly!".

busy with pencil & paper

@Ikea, saw a pencil inside the stand holder and wanted to draw moon (drew a curved shape instead), likes to draw hand shape too and mummy observed I like to do the paper crafting as I kept asking her to make a boat which has taught in the class.



lately, obsessed when heard children crying/talking and will say baby crying.


counting beads to 22 or rather reciting than counting. I'm an impatient person.



Mummy by chance met her friend who will be meeting up some mummies @Ikea too and join the lunch gathering till abt 1:30pm. Mum had a good chat with them on exchanging the value of teaching us (kids!) and such a small world, 1 mummy is mum's cousin ex-colleague.

magic word - please!

Instead of saying "carry" previously, I now say "please carry me" with my arms open. This way mum & dad can't refuse as I said it with the magic word - please! "hee! hee!

I can respond with thank you (more like thank ku) and welcome.

Previously will say "nice" and now will add-in more meaning in it eg. nice porridge, nice coffee, nice yoghurt, nice shoes, nice juice.
