My first Piano Lesson

Many responded with surprised when I told them I wanted to learn piano. Most of them asked me why at this age, some said it is difficult at this age, but some also encourage me to do so. I used to have a dream that I can play piano since young. However since my family cannot afford me it during my childhood, i decided to take the lesson now. Although it's hard to learn piano at the age of >30 but i thought no harm having a try. With lots of encouragement from a friend, I finally make up my mind and move out the first step by registered for a piano class. Last saturday was my first piano lesson and I couldn't tell how much i enjoyed it! I admit it wasn't easy but I believed through persistance and passion, I can soon play the piano :)
This is the result of my first lesson :)

Photo by the beach

About nine months ago i wrote about how my daughter scared of the beach, but now she loves going to beach. After we brought her to the beach a few times, she likes running at the beach and also throwing the pebble to the sea. I guess this is one way we can help our kids to overcome her fear, by keep letting them try it! Anyway, I managed to capture this photo of her at the beach - got style ler :)

My girl likes to think at night

Oh, i missed my blog. It's been long time i didnt update my blog. Reason? Busy, or it's just an excused :)
Anyway life has been very unstable for me for the past few months. Nothing seems to work as planned...but I'm feeling that it's over and I can see the rainbow :)

Ok, lets talked about something interesting...about my daughter :) I was amazed that at her age of 2 years and 4 months; she got a lots of thing to think about especially at night before sleep.
Yesterday after I switched of the light and laid down with her on the bed, she starts to say...Mommy, I missed teacher Holly( her teacher in the US nursery) and Avery (her friend in that nursery). I want to go find them...
The other day, also during the night, she suddenly request from me " mommy, can you bring me to old town for breakfast?"....lol
Another time, she said "Mommy, Big Aunty has went back home (they come for holiday and now back to Muar)...I said, yes, dear, do you missed them...She replied, Yes....

She's just adorable!

A triumphant feeling....

It has beenseveral months I tried to potty trained my 2 years old daughter. At first, she wouldn't even want to sit on the potty. Only after many times of persuade, she finally gave in. However, everytimes she sat on the potty, nothing seems to come out and she just want to play with the toilet paper :(
Even when I noticed her standing there trying to poo, and quickly put her on potty, yet nothing can come out. I was about to give up but my husband encourage me to try it slowly. Hence, I just occasionally let her tried without hoping too much. Just now, before she went to sleep, i let her tried again. Too my surprise, she successfully pee in the potty...I was so happy and so do her...Finally there is something come out, thank god! I cant see that she was also very happy or rather amazed listening to the sound of her dripping urine...What a triumphant feeling I have had, although it's just the first step to her journey of fully potty trained. Well, the first step is always difficult and I believe that once she has made her first step, success is near...hopefully :)

Fun playing with clay

Recently we brought Kai Shuen to Portland Children Musuem and bought back some clay for her. So we start with simple built like turtle. I make most of the part of the turtle, and she helps me to match the head and legs of the turtle to its body. It's not easy for little kids to rolled the clay or to shape it but she enjoyed watching me doing it, as well as "combining" the part into one piece...Then she asked me to make her a man. Although i was not good at art, still able to make one for her that she think it look like a man sitting on the floor....We have lots of fun playing with it and also capturing the photo of our "masterpiece":)
