Hotel Stay

Today daddy took half day leave in order to bring us for hotel stay. We have to bring Ethan to the car even while he was still in sleeping. He woke up after mummy held him up to the car. We arrived at hotel around 3.00pm something. Moved some stuffs from the car into the hotel room then we were ready to go and walk around hotel.

When we walked nearby the swimming pool Ethan want to go down the pool as he still remember he had fun time playing the water when we previously stayed in this hotel. We want ed to let him walk on the beach but he also remember it. He refused to walk further to the beach so we just took a rest in the laying chair along the beach.

Later seems like Ethan eagerly want to swim so we gone back to the room to change. First Ethan had some fun the pool. He even played with his swimming ring. Maybe he is so fun or cute there was an Arabic lady which was taking his husband photo wanted to take Ethan's photo. Ethan seems like playing with her, when she wanted to take photo, Ethan used the swimming ring to cover his face. When she gave up, Ethan look up at her. She attempted for quite some time then only manage to take Ethan's photo. We laughed seeing this funny situation.

Not sure why Ethan attracted Arabian women so much, especially the ones that dressed like a Ninja. This particular woman was dressed all in black with her faced cover in a veil. Only left 2 eyes which were not covered. Daddy noticed that the eyes was heavily touch-up with blue mascara. We played for about an hour in the pool.

Looking cute through swimming ring

At night we brought Ethan to the night market along the road and see whether there was anything to eat. We only packed one "Char Kueh Teow" because we already had some U-Ton "Nasi Kunyit" in the hotel as we wanted to pre-celebrate Ethan's birthday.

Ethan's birthday cake prepared for tomorrow and also red eggs.

Have to let Ethan eat his red egg first because red egg cannot go overnight.

When we got back to the hotel Ethan refused to sleep. Maybe it was because he recognized his bed and room. However later, maybe because he was too tired he fell asleep.

Birthday is coming

Recently Ethan keep on talking about "one, two" whenever he go get something like he collected the ball, seeing picture and etc.

Ethan loves seeing his Chinese story book, today he took it from the study room table and sit on the floor to read the book. He was very happy seeing the pictures inside the book as for him this park is the fun place for him. He finished flipping the book and started again flipping and pointing. It is uncountable how many times he flipped the book.

See! Ethan likes to play catching ball game.

Aya, so dirty my face is after eating the "putu mayong" but I love to eat by myself.

Just left two days and it will be Ethan's 2nd birthday, daddy already booked the hotel so we can celebrate there. But still haven't order the birthday cake yet. Daddy had already order for 1B type of red egg, nasi kunyit and chicken curry from U-Ton. Will be picking it up tomorrow. Daddy is taking half day leave tomorrow to prepare Ethan's things. Hopefully we are able to book a cake tonight.

Going back to Kedah

Because daddy was sicked so daddy request mummy to bring Ethan back to Kedah. Hope that can quarantine Ethan from daddy. Ethan only slept for a while on the way back to Kedah. He immediately wake up when the car stop and refuse to sleep afterward till night time.

No electricity day and my first Chinese homemade book

Today there was a power failure at the afternoon, so mummy has to let Ethan go to the hall to play with the new toy "Ping Pong ball". First mummy intention was to train Ethan to use the spoon to hold the ball and transfer from one bucket to the other. But later Ethan threw the ball here and there and he has to collect it back. Because of this he sweat a lot. Ethan's whole head was wet. Is it free hair gel as you can made anything hair style?


Later because it was too hot inside the house so mummy let Ethan play in the garden. Yeepy!



See! This is the the first Chinese homemade book made by mummy. Before that Mummy already made two homemade English books.

Mummy birthday, walking by himself and keen to learn

Today when we brought Ethan to the hypermarket, he didn't like to stay in the supermarket shopping cart. He was yelling of get off from the cart and he want to walk by himself. We have to chased him here and there.

See Ethan riding a toy truck at Sunshine Supermarket.

Although today is mummy birthday but mummy didn't celebrate it because mummy wants to celebrate her birthday together with Ethan which is 6 days apart.

After taking a nap, Ethan played the counting finger game with mummy then suddenly he pronounced one, two etc then mummy only realized that he has learned the number. Later when mummy fed him dinner, mummy took the number puzzle for him. Mummy asked him what is this number then he pronounced 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9. It surprised the daddy and mummy. Night time, we tried to capture the video of Ethan pronouncing the numbers but Ethan was only interesting in his bean maze toy.

Recently mummy has noticed that Ethan is keen to learn. He will point to the book and ask people to teach him the words. Even when mummy was wearing the T-shirt with printed alphabets, he will also point to them and asks mummy to read to him. Cardboard boxes which contains words, he also want people to teach him. This goes even for the hypermarket broacher that has got picture of the product and the price. He likes to flip these. Mummy is pleased to watch him reading. So it seems that mummy started teaching Ethan to read when he was baby has built a strong base for Ethan to like to read.

Tired day for Ethan

This morning we have brought Ethan to the park again. Taken some photos near the fountains.

However, he cannot really get to play the slide, see saw etc because of last night rain. All the playground became wet.

So wet, cannot get on it ... :-(

So even he really likes to play the slide, mummy didn't let him. He just walk around the slide. Ethan managed to play the monkey bar and the swing.

He is still afraid of the swing but got some improvement.

Begin to enjoy a bit but still scared...

Look, a worm on the ground. We saw a worm being attacked by a big black ant.

After taking a bath daddy and mummy brought Ethan to Queensbay Mall to have lunch. There was an Astro kid's channel promotion event. Ethan had got a yellow balloon. He also took some photos with daddy in front of the decoration. Like the photo below with daddy and Goofy.

On the way back to home from Queensbay Mall, Ethan was so tired that he fell asleep in the car seat.

Helper vs Mess-up person

Today Ethan still "gambate" in learning to talk. When he saw the Chinese flashcard "妈妈" he pronounce it as yesterday grandma already informed mummy. Today mummy saw it with her own eyes. Mummy today almost completed a few of Chinese story books but only lack photos to add in. Hope that it can be finished by this week so that daddy can print it out. Recently, Ethan has slowed down learning Chinese phase. Maybe it is because he doesn't know the meaning of the words

After dinner Ethan help daddy to dry the plate, spoon and fork. See! Ethan is such a good little helper.

Don't know why whenever Ethan wants to play the puzzle, he likes to take all of the puzzle and mess them together. It is very difficult to find the puzzle in this kind of mess. See what a mess he has done to the puzzle. But amazing thing was he can find the correct puzzles and put them together.

See the before and after
