Immunization jab

姐姐 is having her 5 year old series of booster immunization jabs. She acts brave and just flinch a bit when the jabs sting. All smiles, and she always gets her gummy bear vitamins when visiting the PD for jabs. Today nurse recorded her height as 112.5cm and her weight as 17.5kg. However teacher Kogi recorded her as 116cm and 19kg. Ok, somewhere along that line.....

Here's a picture taken last month after her 1st jab. We were having pizza lunch after the doctor's visit and it has a inflatable chilli sauce bottle which she was eyeing.

Here's one of 弟弟 when he visit another doctor back in Nov'09. I think 爸爸 took his photo to help entertain him during waiting time. I just thought of adding this photo. We'll wait for year end for his next optional jab.

年初四 party

We attended 爸爸's good friend open house party. We took a picture with some cute rabbit figurines in their beautiful garden.

However we had to cut the trip short as we did not behave nicely. We had an earful from 妈妈 about how to behave. We promised we'd behave as good children next time.

年初一

These are my cousin's children with 姐姐 and 弟弟. L-R: 弟弟, 品宏，姐姐，克汉 （Last one I just 拼 by myself. Have to find out as my cousin gave very nice name to their children)

So how do my children and their children 称呼 each other? Are they cousin-cousin or just cousin? Maybe just go by name for their generation :) I think my children call my cousins as 表舅父. But my cousin's children will call me 表姑? hahaha... the chinese family 称呼 is so confusing. So all the adults are referred to as "Auntie/Uncle" nowadays no matter what the relation is.

At the playground opposite cousin's house. Up up and up on the highest slide.

弟弟: 姐, 很高!

姐姐: 弟弟, don't look down!

Finally they didn't slide down this old slide. Phew! And their father didn't bat an eyelash even though I'm nervous already. Apa la....

More manageable slide, still didn't get to slide down as it's too hot!

My Valentine

Guess only who remembered to give me a valentine? It's my dear 姐姐! She draw a Velentine card each to all of us, one for 爸爸,me,弟弟，公公 and 婆婆. Here is mine:

Her other drawings - Cinderella

And a picture of herself sailing. The angel is by me, I think she can already draw better.

Early CNY celebration at school

姐姐 and 弟弟 need to wear traditional costume at school for the CNY celebration. Also need to bring some tidbits for the class. They came back with loads of "goodies" (aka junk food). Luckily they believe me in the coloring story about the sweets and only played with them. Especially 姐姐.

It was quite difficult hunting for traditional costume for 弟弟. He refused to wear the heavier material type found at Carrefour. 好采 he agree to this light one from Tesco. Did you notice that the pants are quite short? In the catalog, the little boy wearing it as 3/4 pants. Alamak....

Girls' costume is easy to find. I like the sweet girlish look of this one she is wearing. Thus even if she already have another costume, we still buy it for her. My thinking is if she can wear it, better wear now.

Visit to temple near our home

The children paid a short visit to a temple near our home after school. There was a digger parked near the temple. Even though 弟弟 always like diggers and say "Oh, I see a digger, I'm so happy" but 爸爸 said he was afraid of being so close to one. See him standing further apart from the huge vehicle?

Heart melted when see this photo, 姐姐 is holding 弟弟's hand.

Remembering more rides...

More rides at QBM.

I tell you, both 姐姐 and 弟弟 scared this little girl in pink. Even if they invite her to join in the house, she refused and run away. It's so different from a year ago when they were the ones who were scared of other older kids. Now they are the older kids who scare other little ones. Time flies...

Oh, and that's the last we saw of the cutesy rabbit/mickey rubber bands on 姐姐's hair. We lost them at Dragon-i and now left only one.
