Took some videos of Jared this morning. Was reading Xiao Nat's blog when I saw him pushing the push-along walker.. I remembered Jared wasn't quite good at it and he's so lazy to do it so I decided to let him have a try. He did fairly well now even without any "practising". Just that he doesn't even know where he's going. Hahahaha..







Finally after 11 days of hard work, I am having my long weekends off. Will be away from office for today, tomorrow, Monday & Tuesday. Lotsa plans ahead..I am so looking foward!

Another video to share about Jared.

As it was 1st day of the lunar month, Mum usually will buy the red buns to steam them for my breakfast. Jared was so curious to see such a RED bun so he attempted to touch it yet he's so timid. LOL...

Jared is learning how to stand up on his own.
He started learning this new skill at 9.25pm just now. He's so cute and funny when he attempted many tries but end up he kept sitting down. Hopefully his butt won't get too painful since he's shielded with his diaper. LOL..

Anyway, I managed to tape down a short video of him standing up when he didn't notice me. Just too bad the sarong cloth covered up a little bit of his head so can't really see his expression
:(

A summarised growth assessment on Jared as he rns 12months old;



  • He knows what is "tu-tu" (pacifier). He will help you to search for it when you asked him to.
  • He helps to get my specs every morning when I wake up for work.
  • He claps his hands when you ask him to, when he hears "If you'r happy and you know it, you clap your hands...", when he's happy, when someone claps, when he hears "Happy Birthday to you..." song.
  • He points to his toes, mouth, nose, eyes when you ask him to.
  • He raises him arms when you says "arms up!"
  • He pat his chest lightly when you ask him if he's afraid (怕怕?), when he hears thunder..
  • He pat his stomach when you ask him "饱饱?"
  • He says "ah-kah!" when you ask him where's the old uncle (our neighbour)
  • He points to another unit (on our same floor) when you ask him "where's 狗狗?". Because there's a dog staying in that unit.
  • He calls "mama" when he sees me, sees my photo, wedding photo...
  • He calls "mah-mah" 嫲嫲 (grandma)
  • He says "barr-barr" when he sees Barney.
  • He crawls all his way from the kitchen to the living room area when he hears his favorite commercial break. eg: Mamy Poko pants, Ribena, 添丁发才 ads etc..
  • He does the finger-thumb action when he hears "Incy Wincy Spider" song.
  • He opens & closes his palm the moment he hears Twinkle Twinkle Little Star music..
  • He remembers the sequence of words in "Your Baby Can Read" disc.. Eg: after "HI", it will shows "CLAP". So he does the clap action even the word has not been read. So we presume he remember the sequence by heart or he really knows the word already.
  • He knows how to differentiate Mamy Poko and Huggies packaging. When ask, he will prompt to the correct diapers.
  • He points to Pooh Bear, Piglet, Hunny & Eeyore correctly when we ask him.
  • He can reverse in his ride-on.
  • He reads his books voluntarily.
  • He now cries when he see me leaving for work.

Been really very very busy with work lately after my long weekend from work. The prayers at the temple for Daddy & Grandma has ended. My Mum and I took turns to attend the prayers on Friday & Saturday, whereas my brother went on Sunday.

Now that Hari Raya is around the corner, I will have to take over some of the work duties from Hidayah so that she can go for her long weekends on coming Saturday, Sunday & Monday. Am gonna work for 11 days straight without resting! Grrr.. I hope I can take it. Work is really not easy nowadays. I don't wanna give up so easily but I will still move on, should something big gonna hit a impact on me :)

Went JB with Hubby during the weekends. It took us 2 hours to clear the custom. We checked the traffic on onemotoring and saw that there's a jam at the Singapore custom but we still went ahead. LOL.. Anyway, we replenished some of Jared's daily neccessities like diapers. We intend to switch Jared's day diapers back to Mamypoko since he's grown older now and we shall let him wear Huggies only at night. Its more economical this way. Bought a Mickey Mouse musical lantern for him in JB too. He loves it to max and the lantern plays "Row row row your boat..."

After getting in contact with the music, now he knows the song very well. When I asked him, "Jared.. row row row your boat..", he will reach for his lantern and signs to me that the lantern plays that song.

Yesterday, Mummy couldn't find his pacifier. So she asked Jared.. "where's your tu-tu?" and Jared crawled underneath the sofa and reached out for his pacifier. Hahahaha.. I wasn't quite convinced when Mummy told me this cause it may be just concidence. But this morning, I witnessed his "smartness" myself. I greeted him "good morning" when he crawled to me in bed. When I asked him, "Jared, where's Mummy's spectacles? can you find Mummy's spectacles please?" and of course I did signed to him. He immediately searched around my pillow area (I usually placed my spectacles beside me when I sleep) and brought me my specs.

We had a chinese neighbour (old uncle) and we call him 爷爷 or uncle. Whenever we met this uncle in the lift or at the void deck, Jared will says "ahh-ka!" (uncle I supposed). Hahahahaha..

I must agree that babies nowadays are really smart!
Will update on his 12th month growth spurt soon.

Bought a Barney cake for Jared on his actual day of his birthday! He was so excited when he see the big Barney on the cake. Mummy prepared 12pcs of red eggs too. So that we each can have a share on the eggs to eat "heng heng".

Jared's Daddy couldn't get the day off so we cut the cake without him. Anyway, Jared is still happy as long as there's something for him to eat. LOL..

I even put on the abascus pendant and gold chain for him to wear for the day. Its a little gesture from me for my dear son as he turns one year old. I hope he will grow up with good mathematics skills & lotsa money to 算。hehhehe...

Will upload the photos soon. I have too many of pics to put up into a collage & work has been soooOo busy lately!....

We had an advanced birthday celebration for Jared yesterday at Chevrons chalet. Due to being "inexperienced", we were quite cork up with everything. We'll do it better the next time.. and BBQ will be the last time for us.

Hhahahaha.. I was so blur that I totally forgotten about the cupcakes I'd ordered. It was only after the cake cutting then I realised my 12 pcs of Mickey cupcakes are still inside the fridge! Arghh.. Was quite angry with myself apparently but what's done cannot be undone. Sigh...Nevertheless, we had pre-planned to have the cake cutting inside the chalet. That explains why I bought the nice table cloth, balloons decos and etc.. End up, not only my make up got melted, everybody was feeling hot too.

However, Jared still "perform" quite well during the singing of birthday song. We'd been giving him rehearsal at home since 1 week ago so that he could enjoy the special moment. He was clapping his hands away when the birthday song was being sang, and he even shouted with excitement :D

Some photos we taken last night...

A quick update on Jared's progress after watching the YBCR discs for almost 2months.

He's now able to point to his..

  1. toes
  2. mouth
  3. eyes
  4. nose
  5. cat
  6. dog
  7. pooh Bear & eeyore (not in the discs of course!)

And do this actions..

  1. arms up
  2. arms down
  3. clap your hands (when we asked him to), when he hears "Happy Birthday to you.." song
  4. wave byebye

I would say that he's getting smarter and smarter nowadays. I do wish he will stay as smart as like now when he grows up so that we need not worry too much about his education and such. Hahahaha..

Counting down to his party on Saturday! Woohoooo..

Just wanna share a very nice song <<秘密>> by 黎瑞恩


好想告诉你这熟悉的雨季
最适合在深夜想你
想你温柔眼睛想你专注神情想念你甜言蜜语
好想问问你今天的心情
才想起你早已远离
却又发现自己仍活在回忆里以为身旁还有你
如果这一生我们爱不够
来生你千万认得我
如果这一生我给得不够
来生给你所有的我
就把你深深藏在我心中
一辈子再也不对别人说
说我曾经爱过你我曾经为你笑过哭过
就把你深深藏在我心中
一辈子再也不对别人说
就算他日再相遇也笑著与你擦肩而过

JARED♥MUMMY

" He's our first and precious little one,
living in his perfect world "





Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too
Cause I’m dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
Wonder if you ever see me and I
Wonder if you know I’m there
If you looked in my eyes would you see what’s inside Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close but so far ..
All I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day
To take the courage to say how much I love you
Yes I do
I’ll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
