CNY Celebrations in Downtown

16-Feb-2008 - Saturday evening we wait till Vernon woke up from afternoon nap and prepared to go to downtown to see the CNY celebrations. As Kong kong is one of the representative for the surname "Lim" associations.

It's very hard to find a car park, we turn 2 round and finally we decided to park at illegal place since everyone is doing that. then we walked down 2 block to get to the place. many roads were block from entering and everywhere is jam. when we reached the place, Datuk khor SK is giving his speech. and we easily spot where Kong kong is sitting. He just sit in the first role, I showed Vernon where kong kong is sitting. But he seems no response and happily look around the place as it's crowded with people and performances.

After the ceremony of the grd opening, we walked around the places and see all different things about penang and chinese culturals display along the road. I like the lanterns that hanging along the road and there also have people teach u how to make lantern.

Vernon boy love sitting on my shoulder as he will able to see things clearer as higher.

Dine out at Northam Beach cafe

12-Feb-2008 - after a few days of conitnuing steamboat dinner and lunch. we want to eat something different, so we decided to go to northam beach to get some hawkers food.

We tried the new Muo Chee (in variety flavours - pandan, black sesame, corn and normal) taste not bad but it lack of sugar. so we request the autie to add some sugar for us.

Then we also try the grill BBQ chicken, which taste great and the portion is just nice. not too big and not too little.

When the sky getting dark, they light up the place with colorful lights. Vernon boy love it so much, he told us rainbow lights.

Creative idea

Vernon boy now very creative, whenever he want to get something higher and he can't reach the height. See what he did.......................He will take another box as his stool to make him higher to reach the place or things. if not, he will go & get the stools from behind and reach the place. so now even we put our thing in the higher place he also can reach. as a result, we have to make sure all the scissors, knift are put in the safety place.

Drawing Furniture

11-Feb-2008 - Monday the 5th day of CNY we were at home and resting in the living room.
suddenly we saw there's a crayon mark on the kitchen furniture. We knew this must be our little boy creation. He started to draw on our furniture, same in nai nai house as well.
though nai nai beating him with "rotan" he still did the same thing repeatedly. I told James I do not agree using "rotan" to teach our boy as this is old style of teaching and will not solve the root cause. But it will create more anger in their mind and phychologicaly. I makethe right guest and obeservations, as lately Vernon boy started felt angry with Nai nai and reject to go to nai nai house. He used to greet nai nai"good mroning" in the morning when I drop him b4 went to work. Now, he do not want to look at nai nai anymore. He will walk to find Kuku instead in the morning and greet kuku.
When we asked go to nai nai house? he will replied : No.....No .....no
then he will told us he want to go to ah mah house as he is now ah mah favorite grdson.
he has lots of playmate and can walk up & down the stairs, jumping up & down on ah mah's bed. this is why make him love to go ah mah place. everyday he will ask go "ah mah" house?? whever we went out.
