Bri Bri and us had yummy buffet today :)

For lunch today, my inlaws, Bri Bri's Mah Mah and Yeh Yeh took us for buffet at Shogun Japanese restaurant at Sunway Pyramid :) Japanese is my favourite food! I love sushi and shasimi! They were having a promotion. Usual price for lunch buffet is almost RM50 per person but during this promotion time for weekdays is only RM32 nett! The last time a friend and I went to One Utama for the dinner buffet, it cost us RM60 per person on a weekend! So this was a really good deal :)

Bri Bri ate some tempura vegetables plus some fried potato stuff. He also ate a piece of pizza which I did not know was spicy and he made a fuss after trying it by sticking out his tongue and all. Sorry Bri Bri, mummy didn't know the pizza was spicy :( He stopped eating his main meal after that and took some yummy cakes instead.

He also tried some fried soft shell crab that I was eating. He just pulled my hand that was holding the crab to his mouth to munch! No asking first! It's adorable at this age but when he is older, and he does this, he will sure get a scolding.

All of us that went for the buffet ate our hearts out :) My mom ate more than her usual and so did my inlaws. I ate as much shasimi, sushi and raw oysters that I wanted. So very yummy! Too bad my dad had to work and couldn't join us.

Thank you Bri Bri's mah mah and yeh yeh for such a nice lunch! Was still full at dinner time. haha

Bri Bri called Por Por

Bri Bri called Por Por (grandma) twice. Once last night and once this morning but unfortunately on both times, my mom did not hear it :(

Bri Bri has in the past called Por Por, Kong Kong, Mah Mah, Yeh Yeh and even Ma Ma (me) but he is very lazy in calling us and most of the time calls everyone "Eh eh eh" while pointing his fingers to show who he is calling. Sigh, don't know how to make him call us properly. Have taught him many times but he just won't do it.

Bri Bri in Port Dickson Part 2, Photos

We went to Thistle Port Dickson Resort. Nice place for vacation.

Bri Bri was scared of the beach and the ocean. My dad trying to calm him down to enjoy the water.

Bri Bri's pants got wet in the sea and he didn't like it. He held his pants while walking the whole time. He looked so cute and funny :)

Bri Bri playing in the small playground in the hotel.

The super king size bed in my room. Bri Bri loved this bed. It was really huge! He slept with pillows surronding him as we were afraid he might hurt himself on the wall. We had a total of 9 pillows on that bed! haha

The hotel wing where we stayed on the 6th floor. We were initially given 2 rooms on the 5th floor but after settling in for less than an hour, they asked us to move due to some maintenance work. sigh! :(

The children pool where Bri Bri did all his swimming.

Bri Bri after coming out of the pool on Saturday morning. Doesn't he look cute here? :)

Bri Bri rubbing nose with mummy in Legend resort chalet. A resort that we checked out just before dinner on Saturday evening. Bri Bri loves to rub nose and give us tiny kisses occasionally :)

Bri Bri smiling in a restaurant where we had dinner on Saturday evening. We were quite surprised to see a number of Muslim family "buka puasa" at this restaurant. It was the first day of "puasa". Later did we find out that the restaurant was acutally "halal". Haha, we ate a pork dish (kow lo yoke) and didn't realize that we were eating chicken!

The picture above him smilling shows that he found it noisy there :)

Bri Bri playing with his new ball that we bought on Saturday night in Tiara beach resort. We went to this resort to have a look see. It was really way out and hard to find. Somewhere at 13 mile or so. Looked like a mini Sunway Lagoon but not as nice as Thisle where we stayed. It didn't have access to the beach but has it's own man made beach. Bri Bri's new ball is quite special. When you throw it on the floor, it lights up. Bri Bri liked it alot :)

Bri Bri with kong kong (my dad). Bri Bri disliked walking on the sand. When a pile of sand went into his shoe, he froze and didn't want to walk anymore. Yucky, yucky sand!

Bri Bri having a great time in the swimming pool :)

Bri Bri eating conflakes after a long swim on Sunday morning :)

Last meal in PD at about 2pm before we left for home. Bri Bri was so sleepy at that time that he fell asleep in the middle of lunch! Poor thing. Must be really tired after swimming and playing with water for 2 hours in the morning. Bye Bye Port Dickson. Will be back again :)

Bri Bri in Port Dickson Part 1

Last Thursday, my dad suddenly announced that we were going to Port Dickson (PD) for the weekend for a short break. So the next morning, we travelled to PD. It was Bri Bri's 3rd time to PD. The first 2 trips were with the whole family when my hubby was still around. The first trip we went when Bri Bri was only 7 or 8 months old and the 2nd was when he was about a year old. So I was excited to see how he would react to the beach at this slightly older age.

We went around looking for a suitable hotel to stay and finally decided on the Thistle Port Dickson Resort. It used to be Guoman and just 2 months ago changed management and got refurbished, thus it is now called Thistle.

We had a great time there :) Bri Bri loved the hotel rooms. We booked 2 connecting rooms. 1 with a super king size bed which I shared with Bri Bri and my maid and another room with 2 twin beds that my parents took. Bri Bri loved running from one room to another and back. He also loved the swimming pool and had a great time swimming there.

However, he was quite scared of the beach and ocean and didn't even like walking on the sand. If he could talk, I bet he would say "Yucky, yucky sand" Also when his pants got wet in the sea, he would hold his pants up with both hands in great discomfort and walked in a very funny way :)

We ended up staying 2 nights instead of one as Bri Bri had such a good time. We finally left the hotel on Sunday afternoon at 1 something. Would love to return there again some day :)

My mom was the photographer and ended up taking nearly a thousand photos during the trip! Will post some of the photos tonight :)

Bri Bri saying more words today :)

This morning as Bri Bri wanted my mom to follow him to a room, he said "come" :)

Also in music class today, when the teacher asked him to repeat after her and say "boom, boom, boom", he followed. When the teacher asked another kid to repeat the same words louder, Bri Bri stood up and shouted out "Boom, boom, boom"

I am so proud of him that he is opening up and saying more words :)

Bri Bri is well again :)

Thank God that Bri Bri is completely well today. No cough and no running nose. He is back to his bubbly self.

He is getting very strong! When he gets excited, he tends to beat us excitedly in a playful way and it can be painful. He also likes to bounce on us when we lie down. He is strong for his age and has been very strong since birth. I guess we named him correctly as the meaning of his name is strong :)

Bri Bri has started driving!

See him driving my dad's car! haha sometimes my dad lets him play on his lap when the car is parked! Yes Brian has started driving but only his toy car. lol. This picture was taken with my phone camera about 2 weeks ago while my mom was outside buying fruits. He looks so grown up, doesn't he? :)

Bri Bri not feeling well today

This morning Bri Bri woke up with a chesty cough :( He also has running nose so we decided not to go to church this morning.

He just took some medication and is sleeping right now. Hope he gets well soon. He just recovered from flu about 2 weeks ago. Last week, I myself was down with flu. I'm recovering quite well now with only slight traces of it. I hope I didn't pass the flu back to Bri Bri. Almost everyone in the household has had flu and it started from him. I pray he doesn't get the flu bug again :(

Bri Bri sleeps with me every night on my king size bed. He is a terrible sleeping partner! He toss and turns and kicks! He has even kicked me 3 times in the face before! Sometimes when I wake up, I find him sleeping upsidedown with his feet near my face! He also constantly kicks off his blanket and I have to wake up few times at night to cover him up again. At times, he would wake up asking for water or for his "cuit cuit" (pacifier) Yes, he still takes pacifier at this age especially when he wants to sleep. I don't know how to stop him from it. One day we got rid of his pacifiers and in the middle of the night he woke up and won't stop crying for it till my father and I have to go out and buy some back! It was past midnight!!!

Anyway, I pray that Bri Bri will get well soon and will not fall ill so easily again.

More recent photos of Bri Bri. All the photos were taken by my mom. Bri Bri's Po Po. She loves taking photos of him and I think there are already thousands of photos of him from birth till now. lol

Bri Bri is already 2 years and 4+ months old :)

Bri Bri was born on 28th March 2007. He is now 2 years and 4+ months old. He is loved by all. He is such a sweet and adorable child. Occasionally he will be "yai yai" (naughty) and I have to discipline him but overall, he is obedient, funny, loving and full of joy. I love it when he gives me little hugs and kisses. He is the apple of my eye and my little darling sweetheart. I love Bri Bri so very much :)

Beginning of this year, I started putting Bri Bri in a music class. It's only once a week and for 1/2 hour each time. For the first 4 times that he went, he did not want to participate at all and was very clingy. Thank God that on the 5th class, he suddenly opened up and began participating. Now, he listens to the teacher and can follow about 80% to 90% of what the teacher does in each class. He loves clicking the sticks, playing with the large coloured parachute cloth with the other kids, participating in the song and dance, playing the drums, triangles and lots more :)

My only concern at this time for Bri Bri is that he has a speech delay. At his age, he should be saying up to 50 or 100 words and joining words together. He still babbles alot and uses only very few words. His favourite word is "em moi" (don't want in cantonese). The other words he uses on and off are guitar, bye bye, hello, ma ma, ouch ouch, A, O, etc. I might have to start taking him to a speech theraphy soon. I pray that he will start talking fast. I long for the day that I can have a real conversation with him. Many parents told me that when that time comes, I won't be able to shut him up. lol. Well, it's something that I'm looking forward to right now :)
