McD's Minions

I decided to buy these items as they were offered in Carousell for quite cheap compared to other offers. I got 4 of them for $8 while other seller put $5 tag for each.


Pink Shoes from Tao Bao



I bought this pink shoes for $6+ at taobao and using daigou65 to ship here. They are quite comfy but they ate my feet on the first trip.

Marco Turns 15 months

Marco became smarter and he understands what we said to him. He dances when I start singing some nursery rhymes. I also allowed him to go out evening with my helper.



Just before he turned 15 months, I have looked for playgroup for him. I think the nearest one that accept 15 month-old toddler just Genius Tots in Quartz near Buangkok MRT. Niko didn't agree but I insisted to enroll him as at home he has nothing to do.

According to my helper, the activity is play with the lego on the floor, then sing song with teacher, and colouring. I think it's still better than the two of them at home everyday till next year 2016. She said Marco is the youngest in the class. However he never cry during the class except when my helper was out.



Now every Saturday I bring Marco out to Serangoon NEX. Two weeks back I brought him after his lunch. The third time I brought him before his lunch and we had lunch together. It was like a date with my little man. He then also can learn about eating out and table manner. I really must enjoy every second I spend time with my son.



Every time I want to go out with him, he points at his head. He means where his hat is. So he learns that every time he goes out he needs to wear hat. The only sad things about Marco is until now he has not called me "mummy" yet. I thought that word supposed to be the first word comes from a baby's mouth.

Another Saturday with Marco

This morning, I woke up and immediately fed Marco breakfast. His breakfast this morning was bread with Ovomaltine. Then after that I bathed him. I was thinking to take him out this afternoon after his nap and lunch.

I saw him drank his chinese medicine without any rejection. I was amazed by this baby. The smell of the chinese medicine was not pleasant at all but he drank it like nothing. This boy is really something.

It was raining heavily when he had his lunch, but it was drizzling after his lunch. I decided to take him out to Serangoon Nex. It was a tiring trip. I didn't bring stroller, so there were spots when I carried him. In the bus and MRT I definitely got seat. But after that I carried him.

He was non stop walking here and there at the 1st stop at NEX, library. He refused to leave the library without a book with a puppy as a cover page. So I have no choice but to borrow the book. Our 2nd stop was Isetan. Here he was even more active. He keep touching all the items. We went to the toy area. It was like paradise for him. He took 1 item, carried to the next spot, found something more interesting, throw the item he was carrying on the floor. So I got the item and put it back on the rack. Got 1 spot he started to put down the items one by one on the floor. I saw the toy interest him the most was a puppy toy with artificial fur. He hugged the furry item and said "Duck duck!!". There was a rabbit soft toy also. He carried this rabbit every where in Isetan and stop at few spots and hugged the rabbit. He is such a sweet boy.

BodyShop's Hand Cream

Carousell application gives me some good deal for the things I need. I just bought a set of hand cream from Bodyshop. The seller is just across the road at block 203E. I paid only $8 for 3 tubes of hand cream.



I think with Carousell and Gumtree, I would not be shopping at mall for a very long time.

I am A Happy Mother

Only a few days ago I found out that Marco can hug me. He is not only standing in front of me, waiting me to hug him. But this time, he puts his two arms around my neck and hugs me closely. I feel really happy. Knowing my love languages are touch and time, this thing really makes me super happy.

He hugs me morning that 2times a day. 1 time in the morning after i wake up. 1time in the evening just before he sleeps.

He began to understand what we said. I taught him, he is marco with his index finger pointing at his chest. And i am mummy with his finger pointing at my chest. He understood the concept. When i said where marco was, he pointed at him self. Then where mummy was, he pointed at me. After a few try, i said hugs. He hugged me. He is so smart. I never thought that my 14month-old toddler understands enough what i said to him.




Every evening I make him sleep and he always acts differently compared to when Niko makes him sleep. So end up, I carry him and talk to him first and he sometimes laughes without understanding what I am saying. He sleeps on my lap and I put him on bed.
