Yesterday when I was putting him to bed, he was mumbling to himself. I moved closer to hear what on earth he was mumbling about. I heard him saying 'Blue 10, purple 9...' all the way up to 1. As far as I'm concerned, I had never seen before any blue 10 nor purple 9 in any of the books that I had bought for him. So, I asked him again, 'Blue 10? How about 9?'
Lunz : Purple 9, blue 8, purple 7, yellow 6, orange 5, pink 4, red 3, yellow 2, green 1
Me : One more time! (Purposely asking him to repeat so that I'm sure he learnt that from school instead of him making all those combination of colors and numbers up himself)
Amazingly, he managed to repeat back the same order even after a few times and this gave me a conclusion that he indeed learnt it from school. Hahaha...I guess he enjoys school very much now! He even know how to wish uncle (the driver) 'Good Morning' every morning when he hops into his car to school. And, he actually finished the lunchbox that I packed for him everytime without fail, of course, unless he dislike the food, which he will bring it back home. For example, yesterday I packed him hotdog bread. He dug and finished the hotdog but brought back the unfinished bread. Haiz...
I packed his lunchbox with different variety of snacks everyday. It is not a necessity to provide him with snacks as the school will cater for it. The school will give the children some food such as small pieces of cakes or bread for their snack time. Anyway, I wanted to make school more interesting so I packed him with varieties of food everyday. At least, some surprise for him when he open his lunchbox to see what is in stored for him everyday during snack time.
I will make sure to alternate the type of food given everyday. It will be rotated with different types of biscuits, bread or even tarts. Sometimes I really ran out of idea on what to give him and when this happened, I usually grab whatever I could find in the household. Sometimes I will make the effort to drive out and visit bakery shops just to find him something to fill his lunchbox. Sometimes, I will even drive to a destination out of the way to get him something, like the egg tarts I got yesterday from King's Confectionary in Sri Petaling before I made the turn back to fetch daddy from Astro in Bukit Jalil. And I always felt worthwhile when I imagine his happy face when he saw the egg tarts inside his lunchbox.
So, this is what you called as a 'mother's undying love'.

Pull Your Ear!
My boy couldn't sat still even when he was sick. He was practically running around in the clinic while we waited for our turn. What else? He was sick again, this time coughing badly. Almost every 2-3 seconds I heard him cough once. Fever came as well, that's why I brought him to the paed. because I knew I need the miracle of antibiotics. Back to my boy, when he wasn't running, he just can't sat still. He either bounced up and down on his seat or landed both his fists on us. Although he was just merely playing with just by hitting us but we just have to teach him that he can't be that violent.
So, daddy came up with an idea, which was he asked Lunz to put both his hands on his ears as if he was pulling his ears until we told him to let go. The little one did not know how to pull his ears, so he just covered both of his ears with his hands. He waited until daddy said ok, then only he put his hands down. Bear in mind that this 'follow instructions' behavior only happened in front of daddy.
I took him again to the clinic on the following day because he was still coughing badly. As usual, he was unwilling to sit still also. So, I asked him to pull his ears, well, which he did in fact. It's just that when he did, he looked back at me with his innocent round eyes and said, 'Say OK la'. Boy...he was asking me to say OK so that he can let go both his hands from his ears. I burst out laughing, didn't actually expect him to say that. Then, when I said OK, he let go of his hands happily.
Sometimes I wondered, does he knows that the pull-your-ear thingy is some sort of punishment or learning lesson rather than a game?

Bad Habit at Bedtime
He is picking up a bad habit now at bedtime. He likes to DIG his nose!! He was having flu lately and all the phlegm dried up in his nose. So, everytime he dig his nose he will passed the dungs to me to throw away. And I had uncountable times throwing them for him the night before yesterday. He was so busy digging his nose and I was so busy throwing all the shits away. Then while he dug, he suddenly mumbled to himself, 'So many bei si'......Hahahaha....even he knows that he himself has so many nostril shits. Even he was complaining to himself. I was laughing so badly until tears came rolling down my cheek. Then, he even told me while holding a piece of the shit in front of me, yelling, 'I find it! I find it!'
Gosh....this kid can really make you laugh for good. He, in fact is getting pretty responsive now a days. The other day when I was driving to daddy's house when suddenly he told me, 'I want to find...' I asked him what you wanted to find?
Then he replied, 'I want to find darling. This way!' whilst pointing to the direction of his daddy's house. Then on another occasion, daddy heard lunz saying to him asking him to go upstairs, 'Come up baby!'
Wow....his speech is getting cooler!

Back to School
My baby has just resume his schooling life after the CNY holidays. He rested another week extra apart from the CNY week. He has fallen sick on the first 2 days with just running nose and cough, but however on the following days fever came and I decided to let him stayed at home until the end of the week. So, he had 2 full weeks of food and playtime enjoyment and I was started to worry whether he will throw tantrum upon resuming his school days.
Luckily he was very good. Not a single tantrum at all. I brainwashed him a lot the night before which was on Sunday. I told him that he will be going to school tomorrow and mummy will be seeing him after school. I even told him the fun things he will enjoyed at school. Just to bring back a little bit of his memory of the fun moments at school before that. Monday was supposed to be a public holiday but since the kindi was open, I decided to send him there since both daddy and I don't have to work. But we let him followed uncle's car instead. He waved me goodbye from uncle's car and I get to plant some quick peek on his cheek. Daddy asked me when uncle had already left, "Our son going very far meh, so many 'ng seh tak' gestures one?...
Men...they are just so boring....
We went to the kindi and peeped from outside. I saw that Lunz was running into the classroom and then, he never came out again even after quite awhile we had waited. Since, we couldn't see him so we did better head off to have breakfast together! We went to the Balakong morning market first, thinking to get the chili paste that one of our friends recommended. However, after walking every corner of the market, we couldn't find it. So, we bought some fresh meat and vege instead to cook for lunch. Lunz can also get to eat proper meal when he got back from school later. After the market, we headed off for our morning 'dim sum' and tea. We really enjoyed ourselves so much, relaxing and chatting while having food without that little brat around. Hahahha...
Then, I busied myself preparing for lunch once we got home. By the time I finished cooking, I only had around 1/2 hour of personal time to myself before we went out again to pick him up. So, I turned on the TV and frankly, nothing much to watch on Astro also. *Sigh*
Later when we woke up from our nap, I asked him to do homework. Both of us sat down together with Lunz and guided him on his homework. Since he was already absent for so many days from school because he was sick, his teacher let him bring back his books to do at home. 2 of the books were just some straight lines tracing where else the other 2 were just coloring. Yes, and a page where you have to trace the dotted circles. No wonder he told us, 'draw circles' earlier when we asked him what did he do at school today. Hehehe...
Daddy guided him to hold a pencil properly and traced on the dotted lines holding his hands. Then we both took turns to guide him. By the time he had finished coloring the squares, he was bored with coloring already. So, I had to color the dinosaur for him. Hah! Time for me to do some children messy coloring. :p
Now a days there is an extra chore for me to do. I have to check his bag everyday to see whether there is any homework, whether he had finished the snack that I packed for him everyday, refill his tumbler and see if his pencil colors need any sharpening. That's what I do everyday.
Yesterday I was on MC, so I picked him up from school. I hid myself behind the banner which he obviously can't spot me. When school finished, he was the first one running out to the main door followed by another kid named Chris. He took his shoes from the shelf and jumped up and down once he spotted uncle waiting outside the gate, this was because he knew it's time to go back. He hadn't seen me yet and I saw his teacher asked him to take off his shoes and go back inside to line up and say 'thank you teacher'. When he came out from the door the second time, he just walked pass the shelf without taking his shoes and landed his butt on one of the benches. He looked around at first then finally he saw me waiting outside the gate. At first, he pretended to be cheeky, looking else where even after he had seen me. Then, finally he looked back at me and yelled, it's mimi! It's mimi! I think the little one is just too happy. :)
Then he ran towards the gate and waved to me, 'Hi mimi'. I told him to get his shoes and he obediently put them on. His teacher told me before we left that Lunz was very favorable of music. He likes to sing and has excellent memory to remember the lyrics. She told me that he likes CNY songs as well. I replied to her that he watch the CNY songs everyday. So, he knew almost every type of CNY songs. ;)

The Computer Genius
The little one was a complete genius when it comes to electronic gadgets. With just the age of 2 plus, he knew how to activate a DVD player. Now, being a 3 year old plus kid, he knows how to watch Pocoyo on Youtube. Daddy just taught him for once which button to click on the screen and from there onwards he is the master of Pocoyo on Youtube. Or whatever video that he likes, for example, ABC songs, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Pingu and Little Einstein. He can sit and watch for hours.
He will move the mouse to ensure the cursor points to the video that he wanted. And then, with just a single click, the video will load by itself. All these came from daddy's influence. To hang out in front of the computer. *Sighhh*

CNY Celebrations
When people told you that happy moments usually passed by faster than it normally does, I have to agree. CNY just passed by few days back. Although we are still in the fifteen days of the CNY, the joyful and merry first 3 days has gone. Looking back, CNY were merrier when we were kids. When we were waiting to receive angpows rather than distributing them now. It was merrier when there were firecrackers and lion dance everywhere unlike now that firecrackers are banned and it is hard to spot a single lion dance on the street. Even if you do get one, the so-called lion dance is not lively and energetic at all, if you get what I mean. It was crazy hanging out with friends then, visiting them from house to house. In short, the New Year is getting more silent each year.
This year, we were quite occupied with plans and activities. It was all about gathering with family members.
CNY Eve
We had a meal every 2-3 hours, daddy commented he hardly has sufficient time to digest the food. We promised mum that we would head back for lunch and then we had to rush to daddy's kao mou house in Serdang for a second round of late lunch. We had a lavish lunch at mum's house. All the food were offerings from the earlier praying ceremony to our God and ancestors. We had the same dishes in kao mou's house as well. But with a little extra of the irresistible roast duck! Simply delicious...errr...I mean the roast duck. Gotta ask kao mou where she bought it. Hahaha...then when it was about 5pm, we had to get ready again for the must-have reunion dinner. This year we had the reunion dinner in a restaurant. No more big hassle of cooking the dinner like in previous years. People preferred to have it in restaurants now a days. But thinking back, isn't it more merrier to cook the dinner and then have it with our family members instead of everybody parting their ways later once the dinner in the restaurant is finished?
We had our first lou sang of the year. And yes, talking about lou sang. The frequency of eating them now has gone down as well. Then, we had some little mahjong playing session at my grandma's home of course. When Lunz had his early sleep that night, both daddy and I watched Titanic till midnight. This was crazy. We imitated both Rose and Jack's dialogues as the movie played along and giggled afterwards. Hahaha....
Well, I guess the thing with eve of CNY is just practically having non-stop meals. :)
First Day of CNY
We made the visit to my second uncle's house which we did every year without fail. We had our vegetarian meal there as well. Daddy is a holy vegetarian on the first day of CNY every year without fail and nothing can tempt him into breaking the rules. Not even with the mouth-watering homemade chocolate chip cookies, twice as good as Famous Amos! I lost the battle to the cookies. I can't be as strict as he was because he claimed the cookies were made from eggs. I don't have strict perceptions in being a vegetarian as long as I don't gulped down meat. Other than that, I don't care what are the raw materials used to make the cookies. This was because the cookies were too tempting to care too much!
We spend the whole afternoon there and then adjourned back to our house for a nap. Later, we headed over to grandma's house for dinner. We had to return early back home that night because we will be going back to Ipoh the following day. Very early on the following day.
Second Day of CNY
We started the journey back to Ipoh as early as 7am. This year we made a difference. I followed daddy back to his grandma's house in Ipoh. Although it's a bit weird because me and Lunz wasn't in the picture earlier and then suddenly we existed, but his side of family made us felt welcome. I saw that daddy's 5th uncle and grandma tried to accept us and bring us into the circle of the family. I felt comfortable, thinking it wasn't that bad after all considering this was the first time we met.
Later, we went to grandma's goodies confectionery shop in town in the afternoon. There will be a lion dance at the shop around 12.30 noon. Lunz had a fun time wandering in the shop with different loads of sweets, biscuits, chocolates and etc. Even as an adult, I was incredibly happy to be in such a shop. There were so many varieties of goodies that you just don't know which one to pick. Lunz had a tough time deciding what he wants. However, we managed to bought some stuff to bring back home. Lunz even enjoyed the lion dance as well. He was not afraid at all. In fact, he joined in the rhythm and swayed along. Twisting his body from side to side with both of his forefingers up in the air.
We had dinner at the Ipoh's Tai Thong Restaurant. Lunz was incredibly cute and well behaved most of the time. But I think he really had a great time because it was considered his "new year"! He can have all the goodies of sweets, chocolates, biscuits or whatever he wanted. And he had already eaten loads of them, my gosh! We slept around 12 am that night. But me and daddy hardly had a wink because the air-cond was too cold and the bed was not comfy at all.
Third Day of CNY
We headed back to KL after we had breakfast in one of the shops in the town. Grandma packed us with some stuffs to bring back home and told us to visit her more frequent in time to come. I think we should go back more often. Grandma was the one who raised daddy up when he was young. We should spend some time with her when she is still around.
Lunz slept in the car throughout the whole journey back home. Then, we did nothing much for the rest of the evening except to stay at home and rest. Daddy was incredibly tired having to be the driver of the day plus insufficient sleep the night before. I drove Lunz back to mum's house to grab his passport-sized photo and birth certificate because we intended to make his passport the following day. I thought of inviting mum and bro to go to the Thean Hou Temple but later only I found out they just came back from there. They went without me. Hmmmppphhh! But, in return they asked me to join their Genting trip tomorrow. However, I rejected because my plan was to make Lunz passport the next day.
Fourth Day of CNY
The queue was bloody long at the immigration by the time we arrived. I think the queue was about 200m long and up to 100 plus people in it. I gave up. I must say we were late as we took the wrong turning and when we reached the building only we realized that the immigration office has moved to another building. I told daddy that since our trip is in May, we can come back in March and make sure it is a working day so that there wouldn't be such a long queue. It was almost impossible to wait especially with Lunz around. We headed back and had our early breakfast. Lunz was having a bit of running nose. I gave him some medicine later and all of us dozed off for our nap.
Darn....I should have followed mum to Genting then....hehehe...
The afternoon nap was very good as all of us had a very deep sleep. Later for dinner, mum and bro joined in for steamboat. The steamboat was a very rare one because we dined in candlelight. Just when we were about to put the ingredients into the pot, the restaurant went pitch black. There was no electricity supply and we had to eat with the only light source coming from the candle. The restaurant's people wouldn't even gave us a bit of a discount for the disruption. I told the lady boss that I would never make another trip back to her restaurant!
Then, we went back to mum's house for some Chinese mahjong session. We had a great time up until 10.30pm when we had to start heading back home by then. We have to leave because I had to work the following day.
Fifth Day of CNY
And there I am, already started working. Actually I planned to take leave earlier for this whole stretch of the week but my stupid company suddenly implemented a stupid "earned leave" rule with immediate effect. All my leave was utilized for Lunz school opening and there wasn't any leave left for my CNY.
So, here I am, at work, writing my blog. I'm gonna spend the rest of my day here lepaking. Work only starts next week! :P

The Strong Bond
Daddy's love for Lunz Lunz is really undeniable. They have been together for more than 2 years now and things has been developing pretty well. Every single moment better than before. I'm happy for the loving and strong bond that exist between the both of them. In short, they are inseparable. Actually, men, they can take good care of their kids when the wife is not around. Trust them. They can indeed do very well. It's just that they depend mostly on the wife to carry out the duties when the wife is around. Hahaha.....so, women should let loose and let their husbands do some of the child caring duties.
Back to daddy. I once told him that, if you love someone, you will start to sacrifice for him/her unconditionally. It's called the unconditional love. You will start to do things automatically for him/her because you love him/her. Well...it seems like he understands my point now because he does in fact loves Lunz a lot.
Some of things that I noticed from them were:
1. Lunz always wanted to go to his daddy's house as if he lives there already.
2. Lunz respects daddy and always behave well in front of him, where as he always bullies me.
3. Daddy downloaded and saved a lot of songs, movies and video clips from the internet for Lunz.
4. Daddy takes good care of Lunz in a sense that sometimes when I'm not free, he will bath him, change him and make milk for him without me asking him to do so.
5. There is always a playing session between them before bedtime every night.
6. Daddy was there everyday for Lunz on his first week of school. He even took 3 days of leave just to be with him and encouraged him.
7. He supported Lunz's monthly school fees financially.
8. Daddy will miss Lunz a lot when we are back at my mum's house. He told me that. He even told me he missed his son so much when we went for vacation recently.
9. Daddy also has all these separation anxiety feelings whenever he sends Lunz to school.
10. Daddy educate, care, love and protect Lunz in every way a father does.
11. Lunz sticks to daddy like a leech.
And the rests were history. It was uncountable and unable to define the strong relationship they have for each other. Daddy also understands now the theory of raising children is not to expect returns from them. It's a responsibility for parents themselves to bring up their own children. And how they later behave or react back upon us is something beyond our control. As long as we provide them with good understanding and upbringing, our duties are fulfilled. This is called the parents unconditional love. To give and expect no returns. :)
