Stitches Update


Can you see the stitches ? it's like a exclamation mark at the corner of her lip. Gladly update that her wound is healing well and hopefully the little mark will fade away. Thank you all for your phone calls, emails on her condition.

Crying episode.

Since Cass has been fascinated by the princess thingie ... we've been trying to convince her to do things by saying that this princess do this, this princess do that and etc. Example, she doesn't really like to wash her hair too often and thus we'll be saying princess Jasmine wash her hair all the time and her hair is very pretty. ... and etc and etc.

Last nite, Cass was throwing a tantrum and was crying very loud. Then she remember we told her that the princesses doesn't cry and well behave. She comfort herself and said : "Princess 没有cry 的." Quickly i agreed and said the same thing back.

After like 1 min, she was like in enlightenment and started to rationalize by Q&A on her own.
"Princess aurora 有 cry 吗 ?"
"有!" she replied herself.
"Princess cinderella 有cry 吗?"
"有." again she said.
She continue said, "舒蔚有cry 吗? "
"有." again.
After that, she went off and do her own stuff.

I am all gaga, rounded eyes and stared in disbelief ! So that's how she justified her crying .... since the princesses cried anyhow, it's OK if she does too.

Many stitches



My poor baby girl fell on Friday while playing outside in the baby sitter's place.

"How many stitches doctor ?" i asked
"Many." the doctor replied.

Professional shots : xiyi


I always believed photos needs to capture that candid natural moments we were in. The emotion we experienced in the photos can be carried in the future when we saw the photos again and re-live that experience again.

This photos was taken when we all are just being ourselves. I
LOVE THIS PHOTO. It is plain US enjoying each other company and loving every moment of it.

Of course, all credits goes to my best buddy. She was back in PG couple of weeks ago and we cracked out our bz bz schedule to meet. (we have our mothers watching the movie together so that we can sneak out and have some time :)

Check out more of Cass' photos here :http://xiyi.smugmug.com/gallery/4970153_HHBRb#300533729_wUqvd

This was taken by xiyi too when Cas when
1 year old.


Cass the photographer

While we were snapping photos away in the Taiping Zoo last weekend, Cass decided that she wanted to do the same too.

Armed with the Zoo entrance ticket, she made believe it as her camera and pretend to become a photographer !

And check out the photos, she meant business, seriously. :)

Afternoon Swim




The weather has been quite hot and dry around here. Cass has been asking if she can go for a swim. Well, there we go again, bringing out the 'pool', pumping the air, filling in water and making snacks. (mini pizzas) Check out chicky Cass at play.

Ice cream at the zoo

Cass tripped and had a slight bruise on her knee when we were in the zoo last weekend. She cried so loud and her dad promised her ice-cream when we reached the zoo central (resting area). Unfortunately the store only have the big cone type ice cream and fortunately for Cass, she get the whole ice-cream cone for herself.

She was so surprise and happy about it. When i saw the ice-cream started to melt, i asked Cass to have a bite. She gave me her ice-cream and i deliberately took a big bite. Cass watched it in disbelief and said : "那个是一口吗 ?"(is that really just one bite ?).

She was eating the ice-cream so slow and i can see the sides are melting. again i ask for another bite, she gave it to me again but in hesitation this time. After i took another big bite, Cass protested with a sad voice and said : "ice-cream 变小小了"(the ice-cream became so small now)


i try my luck again about 5 minutes later and ask for another bite, she doesn't want to give me anymore ! hahaha

Getting more n more active


Cass has been getting more and more active now. it's difficult to ask her to sit down and rest. She has to physically moving all the time. I've cut down her sugar intake and it didn't slow her down much.
See how she's hoping and running around with big smile on her face. And it's only 7.30 in the morning !

Happy Mothers' Day

It was Mother's day last sunday. I was wishing my mom happy mother's day and was shaking her hand. Then Cass stretched out her hand and shake mine, murmuring '.... mother's day'.

AH, that's GOOD ENOUGH for me, in fact it feels GREAT, AWESOME, FANTASTIC, to receive a mother's day hand shake from my-gal. thanks Cass !

Violence in toddlers' cartoons.


With Cass watching more and more of those "Disney's" cartoon, i noticed there are violence everywhere. Not everything is sugar coated and those "princess" movies are not exempted. There are dragons, witches, monster, giant cobra, serious barbarians all needed to be stabbed, burned, drowned and fell down the cliff.

See how Cass grabbed the color pencil in one hand and holding her fist in another, all ready to fight the villain with her heroes in the movie of course.

One of those 'NOO000ooo' moments


It's interesting to know that Cass actually has very intense emotion when watching those 'Disney's' cartoon. She will shout 'NOOO000oooo' very concernedly when the main character of the movie is in danger, like when Aladdin is going into the Cave or the snow white is about to bite the poison apple. This photo is one of those "NOO000ooo" moments :)

Cass baking


The first time Cass helped out baking is when we were making birthday cakes for hubby. Now, whenever she saw me preparing the ingredient and the oven on, she will wish her dad happy birthday :) She thinks all cakes are for her dad's birthday.

It was may day holiday and we made some for tea-time. She loved to participate and of course, make a big mess out of the kitchen.
