Jaimie is going to school!

Finally, after months of searching and research, mummy found the right school for me. I will start school next year March!! We went to register yesterday and I got this lovely red backpack. Wow! Jaimie is going to school!!!!!!

15th Nov '09 - Trip to Gomo's house for kimchi making

It's the time of the year for 김장, meaning making and storing kimchi for the whole year. We went to Gomo's house on Sunday to try to make kimchi. I didn't help much because mummy didn't allow me to do it. After that we went to the airport to fetch Yee-po because she came to Korea.

Jadon's lego story

Apparently Didi loves Lego more than me. He has the patience to sit quietly and fix the pieces all by himself.



1. Concentrating on building the base...




2. Digging into the lego box for more pieces....




3. Taking a break for a camera pose...





4. Waving his finished product in the air with pride.




5. Final still shot for mummy to snap.

Clap your hands for Jadon!!!

We love lego!

Both Didi and me are so obsessed with lego these days.

31st Oct 2009 - Happy 5th anniversary

5 years ago on 31st Oct, mummy and pappy got married. Last Saturday we celebrated this happy occasion
with a nice buffet lunch. The food was good but I enjoyed the ice cream only. Didi made alot of noise because he just wanted to play with the forks and spoons and did not want to eat but I shared some ice cream with him and he loved it. I also took a walk around the restaurent with mummy to look at how the chef cut the raw fish and I loved the big salmon and squid on display. I told mummy to take a picture and show Yeeyee in Singapore.

"THIS IS JAIMIE'S BAG"

This afternoon I was busy helping mummy take pictures of some bags to show Yeeyee some "samples" because Yeeyee was shopping for a new bag. When mummy took the 2 bags out, I insisted the big one was hers and the small one was mine. "Jaimie wants to use this back next month when we go Singapore"....

"God says you have to share then you will get more. If you don't share, you won't get anymore"

Hey mummy, doesn't this line sound familiar?!

* Nobody taught me how to use a hobo but I think this is the coolest way to carry a hobo!!

Our retro fashion

1. My twinkle twinkle little stars jacket. It's still too big but I insisted it's just right for me.

2. My farmer style green cat pyjamas with the straw picnic basket and the winter gloves. I did this combination myself and it made mummy laugh.

3. My 70's hey diddle diddle jacket with slacks.

4. Didi's retro robot pyjamas given by Halmoni.

Our autumn '09 picnic

Autumn is here! Each time the season changes (except for winter) we will head to our favourite picnic place which is the Hangang river park. Last Sunday was such a day.
I helped mummy make rice balls with tuna mayonnaise and we packed some snacks for our picnic. We also brought my bicycle and the boomerang. Unfortunately the boomerang broke and we could not play with it but I had fun cycling. Didi also wanted to cycle but obviously he was too short. He could only sit up there with mummy's help and asked mummy to push so he could pretend to be a cyclist.

11th Oct 2009 - Jaimie managed to cycle!

Mummy got this bicycle for me a year ago. Because of Didi's arrival and other factors, somehow we did not have much chance to practise and I just could not get the peddling right. Last Sunday we went to the Hangang Park and brought the bicycle along. Without much help, I managed to peddle by myself. I also knew how to maneuver the handle to turn left or right. It's easy!

Jadon loves the hairband

Didi likes to put the hairband on his head while nobody is looking. He will giggle quietly because he finds it ticklish for the band to touch his face.

Waiting quietly for breakfast.....

Jaimie and Jadon's latest news

Jaimie.....
- has learnt how to pretend to smoke a cigarette! Note that nobody in our family smokes...
She must have picked it up from the streets. She hides in a corner, puts anything that looks like a stick into her mouth and pretends to smoke. This really resembles mummy when she was a little girl. This must be proof that mummy's blood's running in Jaimie!

- is imitating everyone or everything that captures her attention. She has picked up the word "RUBBISH" which is Gong Gong's favourite word..and not forgetting the cantonese version "LAP SAP!". Ok Mummy is laughing hard as she is typing this.

- tries to behave like an adult all the time. Bossing everyone (including Mummy and Pappy) around. Saying "you don't eat so much! You will become sooooo fat. Do you want that?!!"

- can talk so much now considering she was a late bloomer in speech. Can ask so many questions which really makes Mummy GO CRAZY and when Mummy says "pls keep quiet for a while, Mummy is going crazy"...she says "Jaimie is going crazy too".

- is so bilingual now in English and Korean. Acts like a walking dictionary translating anything, everything from Korean to English or vice versa.


Jadon.....
- no longer the sweetie pie baby Jadon. Has learnt how to open all the drawers, access to knives (!!) and biting and destroying everything he finds. Jaimie's books have rotten and decomposed looking edges thanks to Jadon's teeth. He messes all the books and toys.

- is stubborn and has learnt how to express his wants. Comes to Mummy with the box of lego and screaming for it to be opened. Once opened, the lego pieces fly all over and the house becomes a big mess.

- learnt to hide things inside the drawers making everyone search for days.

- obsessed with the telephone and always putting the phone or something which looks like a phone close to his ears and pretend to be talking.

- learnt to put his bowl into the sink (but obviously can't reach) after he finishes his snack.

- learnt to climb up the step stool to reach for higher objects.

Banana milk

Didi stealing Nuna's (big sister's) banana milk. Jadon's very first banana milk and he loved it. He finished half of the bottle while I was still sleeping and I woke up to find my banana milk half gone.

Our visit to the zoo (Early autumn 09)

We went to the zoo today. It was Didi's first trip there but just like me when I was a baby, he ended up falling asleep before the highlights - lion and tiger feeding time. Anyways, he had his own fun like sitting on top of the tree, eating ice cream for the first time and sitting on the elephant tram.

I fell down a few times but got up by myself and said "Jaimie always fall down, rolling like a donut".... :D

And during the lion feeding time, I kept asking mummy MANY questions about why lions don't wear clothes, why lions don't talk and mummy finally said "MUMMY DON'T KNOW!".
My reply to mummy was "You don't know anything about animals, you silly". Ok, mummy couldn't stop laughing and I loved that!

We couldn't capture nice pictures with the animals but managed to have some fun shots and here we go!

Typical day at home with Didi...

"Hello my name is Jaimie... my Didi is my brother (sounds like "mother"), is the 老鼠仔 mouse, the 老鼠仔 can walk, then i, that's my, my brother (sounds like "mother")"

(Conversation in Korean to Jadon)

"Didi come, quick come!"

and Jaimie ended up bullying Jadon and then talking all funny nonsense... all caught on camera, a typical day at home with Didi.

Jaimie's mandarin twinkle twinkle little star

The lyrics are all messed up and at the end when asked to say thank you in mandarin "Say Xie Xie", Jaimie just said "Say Xie Xie" .

Jaimie can read Korean!

Thanks to my Pororo hangeul professor, I am now able to read a few Korean words..

Jaimie singing songs for God

This is how I sing songs for God and lift my hands up to praise Him.

Jaimie says Don't Don't Don't

Jaimie loves singing so much and when a song comes on and mummy sings, Jaimie says "Don't, Don't, Don't" with her hand out like a policeman because she wants to sing the song by herself!!

13 mos - Jadon knows shapes!

We didn't know that Didi could match the shapes to his cookie tray until we took this toy out from the toy box last week. He just did it all on his own in a flash and he loved the music from this cookie tray!!
