Cassandra's Life Blog

Last nite while playing with Cass, G throw Cass her toy bunny softly.
Cass : "why you throw ?"
G : "opps, sorry"
Cass : "cannot throw one, put down slowly"
G : "ok, ok "
Cass : "remember ok ?"

I found her keep doing this lately, she's like a parrot immitate all our speeches and like a programmed robot that repeats after us :)

Here's a new thing we got back from KL to occupy her mind. :) This is where she will do her drawing, some painting and some writing.

Besides all the above, i caught her imagine the easel as her mirror this morning and comb her hair with it :)

Partly imagination, partly expressiveness, partly too much TV and partly pretend play :)

Cass break into dance quite frequently. Here while waiting for dinner and she was doing her 'dinner' dance :)

This is the 2nd trip to the aquarium for Cass. She has been to the Paragon's Siam Ocean World in yr 2006 and the KLCC Aquaria is her 2nd underwater encountered.

Overall i think the Aquaria is too small and not a lot of display. The main attraction in June is the 'piranha'. hmpt.

Comparing to the Paragon' siam ocean world, where besides the tunnel, they have the 'artic' encountered, a lot of different deep ocean creatures like the neon lights jelly fishes. In addition, the paragon's ocean center has a few aquarium tank that are 2 storeys high, well kept surroundings and good ambiance.

With 30,000+ marine animals (Seals, Blue Ringed Octopus, Ragged-tooth sharks, Stingrays, Leafly Sea Dragons, Giant Spider Crabs, and Sharks of various types including Ragged-tooth, Black tipped, and Leopard). No wonder it is the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia.

But then again, with 1/3 the price we paid for Siam Paragon, it's fair we expect 1/3 of the experience in Aquaria KLCC. fair ? This is free market at work here.

Cass is progressing to form longer sentences now, instead of the baby-words (like milk2, bear2, mum-mum and other words in double) she is learning more new words and making sentences.

I found that the new sentences that she's making nowadays are star-wars 'YODA-like' :)
with the action words in front of the sentences. example :

"啊嘛 回家, 没有"
"Grandma goes home, no"

"Dr. 喝完. 说"
"Dr. finished the drink, he says"

"Captain hook 有crocodile, 咬屁股"
"Captain hook has crocodile, bite back-side"

When listen to Cass, one will try to wait till she finished the whole sentence because the punch-line is at the end :)

Cass was watching cartoon yesterday evening and she noticed a character in the cartoon with beard. Quickly she ran over to the kitchen and told me to watch 'grandpa'. I was so puzzle and followed her anyway.

She pointed to the cartoon character and said :
"这个老老了, 是公公来的. 有胡子的."
"this is old already, he is grandpa (kong kong) because he got long beard".

Cass loved to bath and now she insists on bathing on her own including washing her hair.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
