Battle scars

I learnt a painful lesson on monday. While at Ma-ma's hse, Mummy was feeding me lunch and she turned to get some water for me from the table. In that split second i grabbed the thermos flask filled with hot macaroni and poured it all over my leg. Mama and Mummy were both shocked out of their wits, cos the flask was placed quite far out of my reach and they never expected me to be able to reach it. Moreover Mama had not closed the flask tightly as she wanted to cool the macaroni for me.
My legs were on fire - the heat from the macaroni pierced through my skin like salt laced daggers. I have never been in such agony in my life...
Mummy quickly ran to the bathroom and turned the tap on full blast to douse my leg but alas, my skin had already started to blister and peel off. Frantic she quickly drove me to the nearest clinic where the doctor dressed my burn. All this while, i was racked with pain and i screamed and yelled and thrashed around. I think amidst all the melee, i could hear Mummy's heart break into a million pieces...
After we got home, i cried myself to sleep and miraculously after i awoke, the pain was much less! I was back to my normal self again! Now i wonder why Mummy keeps crying non stop?

Look Mummy, i can read my book...

...and crawl around, albeit with only one leg...

I can even stand! Though the bandage is cramping my style a little...

I can "cook" up a storm with my toys...

So why are u still crying Mummy?

The long awaited birthday bash!

Yesterday was a fun filled day! Our long awaited birthday bash finally arrived and everyone was so excited! As soon as we reached My Gym, i couldnt wait to get out of my stroller despite only having slept for about an hour.

Some of my friends and I playing with toys while waiting for the rest to arrive...

Terelle: This is how u play with this toy, Aaron..hmmm..i think u can pose with it too!

Aaron: Chey, dat's all it can do?

As usual, i loved being in the ball pit. This time all my kakis were with me! What fun! Aaron tried to get into my good books by offering me different colored balls. Sadly for him, he gave me all the colors except yellow, my favourite! So i played hard to get and threw them away as soon as he passed them to me. Think he must be really upset..heehee...

Here have a green ball!

oh u dont like green? how about an orange ball?

Mummy!! Terelle spurned all my advances! Boohoo...

Terelle: Avril Jie Jie we're not moving, does this thing need batteries?

Avril: OMG we forgot batteries!

Terelle: Or maybe we should kick it?

Avril: No lah, think we should turn the wheel like this!

Terelle: Wah...heehee...silly me...

All my other friends soon arrived and the party programme got underway. We started off with the welcome song and some light warm up exercises...

Cant u tell im really excited to be here? Hehe...

Next up was an exciting puppet show where everyone was enthralled by the nasty alligator who kept eating the poor little monkeys!

Then we played "Hot Potatoes" by passing beanbags to each other. Everyone loved this game!

The teachers blew bubbles while we played with balloons and balls. Everyone had a great time trying to catch the bubbles!

Out came the swings and i am no longer afraid of them! In fact i love them so much now i dont want to get out!!

Yawn...this is the highest we can go??

Oh no Daddy's coming! Dont take me out!!!!

The last activity involved all of sitting on a "parachute" while our Daddys and Mummys flapped the sides. It really felt as if we were flying, the gusts of wind were so strong!

Whoa the parachute flew off! Can i come along??

And then it was time to blow out the candles on our little cupcakes! They were so pretty and each had our names specially piped onto them! Best of all they were really yummy too! Thanks so much Jie Jie Davina for baking such nice goodies for us!

Blowing the candle out, off my very own cupcake!

No party is complete without my "yeow kui" aka gluttony face!

Tea break! Lemme chug down this bottle of milk so i can go back to playing!!

The frames that Mummy made for all of us, the adults' extra chocolatey choco cake and the cute banner that Aunty Evon made from all of our funny pics! We missed u so much Aunty Evon and Kara!

Mummy and Daddy were particularly impressed that i can now climb stairs all by myself! Looks like all my gym sessions paid off, especially when there are no stairs at home for me to practice on!

Check out Mummy's ecstatic face...

Wah this is a cinch! Can we climb again?

All too soon, the party came to an end with each family having their portraits taken. I hope everyone had a smashing time! I sure did!! More parties please!!

Me together with Teacher Sue and Teacher Gretha who threw the fab party for us!

Hot Babe in Times Square, NYC!

Daddy submitted my photo for World Health Day and I got selected out of millions of entires to be featured on the 7 famed billboards in the middle of Times Square!

Check out my rosy cheeked and toothless picture of health!

My caption reads: Little baby Terelle crawling up to say "Hi everyone!" Good health simply means lots of milk and nutritious food for the body and plenty of laughs for the heart.

How i wish we could be there in New York to take a look at it! Sigh...

My very first Birthday - Part 2

Im officially one today! Mummy was reminiscing that exactly one year ago this day, she was in the hospital struggling to breastfeed me, a squirming glob. And here I am now, all grown up..well almost...
Mummy and I played with my remaining balloons today, while waiting to meet Daddy who specially left the office early so that we could spend some time together. Mummy gave away several of my balloons yesterday to some of the neighbors but due to the unexpected storm, some of them ended up being blown downstairs by the roadside. How sad...my balloons lived in vain...

Mummy, I get the feeling that someone's watching me...

Aha! I caught my stalker!

We headed down to town cos Daddy needed to do some shopping. The highlight was dinner, where Daddy and Mummy promised me some ice-cream if i finished my porridge.

Yay! I get to eat ice cream!!

okie im tired with playing with this balloon...where's my ice cream?

Wah im so hungry even the menu stand looks tasty!

Check this out! My eyes are bigger than Mummy's!

Sheesh...now my Mummy's a nutcase too!

Im mesmerized by the candle on the ice-cream!

Stay away from the light...Stay away from the light...

Daddy's more excited over the cake than me...im cool...

My ice- cream at last! Oh yeah...Gimme Gimme!!

My very first Birthday! - Part 1

Mummy and Daddy threw me a smashing birthday party yesterday. I was the perfect host; interacting with everyone, laughing and clapping when it was necessary and not being cranky at all! Despite having only a short nap before the party and only a little snack...

After showcasing my life so far via a slideshow, it was time to cut my cake! I had a 3D Suzy cake, courtesy of Daddy who was indulgent as usual! I also had a Suzy shaped agar agar. I loved them, they were so cute! Sadly, Uncle Teng Chee decapitated Suzy to feed all my guests...In fact there was an audible gasp that reverberated around the room when the devious deed happened...
I think my guests all felt for poor Suzy...boohoo...

My beautiful Suzy...boohoo...

My two favourite people in the world! Mummy and Daddy!

Daddy letting me have a taste of my cake. Dont steal it from me, Uncle Guoliang!

Can i give u a kiss?

I was running on adrenaline the entire day, i was so charged up that i was wide awake way past my bedtime! In the end Mummy and Daddy had to beg me to sleep cos they were totally zonked out! And that was at midnite! I was up for a record breaking 12 hours straight! Whoa!

Finally i have my cake all to myself!

I couldnt get to take a pic with everyone yesterday, much to my dismay. So here's a special shout out to all the Uncle and Aunties and kiddies who came and celebrated with me, and who helped Daddy and Mummy in one way or the other, thank you very much! I love all of u!

*Muakz* A big slobbery kiss from me!
