Words from My Kiddo

To date at 17 months My Kiddo can say 4 words clearly and understand what they mean. Albeit the rest of the time he "mogulambang" (meaning he is doing this trial and error pronunciations). He is quite a talkative toddler in terms of baby talk. Talks all the time, we brought him to a picnic and another kid actually told him to literary shut up. Hmmm.

His four words are, mama (me or his dad), momom (food), nenen (milk bottle) and main-main (play). Cool eh? Oh and he calls everyone else Eah, his cousin's name is Leah. Precious.

Don't worry Mai... some kids take longer. I think our colleague LCF said he only started talking at 4 years old. And look at how intellectual he is now. So it does not necessarily decide if our kid is smart or stupid. Just give her stimulation so her brain can develop the connections between the neurons and synapses. This is what is more important.

Yep, agree with you Rach. Wat's important is we talk to them (and not baby talk), sooner or later they will start to pick it up. Now I can't seem to remember when Yasmin actually started talking...but it really picked up around 18 mths la...

and also, i heard on radio tat supposedly letting toddlers under 2 yrs watch tv is not good for their development. I think that is sooo not true! yasmin learnt so many words from watching playhouse disney! and good words too...very surprising the words that come out of her mouth. But plahouse disney is a good one..kalau nickelodeon and astro ceria tu, sometimes got lots of violence and bad words..

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday was a wonderful day. My Kiddo had a wonderful birthday with his cousins and girlfriend. hahah not a girlfriend at 3 years old per Se but a friend's daughter. Sigh.. I can smile and I survived. It is six months now.. and we are still living. Thank you God for watching me and my family. Today I am working as I have to meet a deadline. I miss my kids but it is going to be like this for the rest of their lives and my life. There will be times I can spend all day with them and days that they do not see me at all. Tomorrow I know I will have them to myself all day long. So I hope it will be good. In the future I hope to be a better mother to them. I hope that they will have a bright future and have a lot of laughs along the way. Peace to the World.

Ouch!

As for a lot of first year students all over the country, last week must have been an eventful time. I was soo excited to welcome our new first years. Those eager to learn faces. Hmmm soon to be jaded by the hardship of a very trying course. :) My excitement changed to wonder and then to disappointment. Do not get me wrong. I do feel passionate about teaching these young adults. However there are a few of those who are a bit Duh! "Oh no not this type of students" I sighed to myself. Why so "Skima wan?" (also known as Kiasu attitude or overenthusiastic). Ouch. Ha ha ha ha. It brought me back to memories of myself. Maybe I was that student as well. I pause to search of memories of me. Ouch again. I was exactly that type of student. ROFL. No wonder Dr. Eevil called me a geek. Oh well. The whole process of going through a degree will soon smooth that one out. Like it did your's truly. Sigh again. My excitement is back. Wish I did not have to have 2 months maternity...

A bright new day!

Not knowing what to do. But actually having a long list of things that need doing. I choose to do the one thing which was not in the list. Why I do this? I do not know. Been thinking of changing blog site for a while. So here I am in blog world. I am sooooo lazy. I feel like I have no motivation to do my work. I watched superman yesterday morning instead of rushing to work. I like it. I went pass the cinema today and I noticed that bourne supreme is out. wey hey.. need to watch that. I also spent most of hari raya being a laze about in the house. Playing gin rumme with my family, playing with my son and also computer games. I just cant wait for the next episode of Heroes to be out. oooooh I am just crazy about that series. I miss going out but I am too lazy to go out. I still made it to meet a friend at Starbucks city mall. Otherwise I would be stuck in front of the gamecube playing wario ware with my sis and cous.
