English vs Mandarin

All this while i speak to Hong Zheng in English and his dad talks to him in Mandarin. Reason for hoping him can monitor two languages easily. Lately we start to observe he can easily switching some terms from english to mandarin and vise versa. One example, "sui" in mandarin he will mumble to his own and said "sui is water".

I can't wait!

Hong Zheng and i was in our car, waiting for his dad who was in the bank. Hong Zheng started to get bored. I told him to wait for his dad. He answered me: " I can't wait!". His answer surprised me as he seem to be able to alter a proper sentence. I never hear him saying this before.

Lesson learn from Bullying

Today we went to Funbake shop to buy some ingredients for new year cookies. Hong Zheng was busy with all the decorative items down there. Suddenly a boy came to him and pull his hair. He and myself got a big shock! Hong Zheng started to cry, needless to say. However i fell ok with this event and i took this oppurtunity to tell him do not push An An brother and snatch away his food. I hope he learns from this lesson. Another word will be "bully".

The little boy is only one and the half year old and his age is almost An An brother's age.

Melaka Planetarium


We went to Melaka Planetarium this evening around 5pm as the theater will starts at 5:15pm.
Melaka Planetarium situated in the area at MITC Melaka. Easy to spot it but not so simple to get into the main entrance as the entrance sign is not so obvious at the big round about. It took me two times to find the extrance.

Sadly to say the response is very poor. We are the only group that visited the planetarium. Maybe it is over the school holiday season.

Quite a big place for car parking so do not need to worry since we are the only group!

Entrance fee for adult is RM10 and FOC for children below 7 years old. Open daily include weekend and public holiday!

There is a big gallery displaying info about planets, outer space, space ships and "heroes" of space and many more. Two space ships are available for simulation but one seem to break down. However Hong Zheng likes it the most.

There is about 20-30minutes show in the theater about telescope, galaxies and more. We have to lie back on the arm chair and view the show which projected to the dome root top. The environment is like siting in the cinema. Hong Zheng was very excited about the theater but once the lights are off he started to complain to me telling me "scare". Audio system is quite ok although i dont really detect 3D effect and the loud effect also scare him away.

Do not really learn much things out of it other than realizing there are 12 planets instead of 9 planets go around sun, the exist of space telescopes. As for Hong Zheng, other than the big SUN and simulators, i do not expect he apprecite that.

After came out from the planetarium, i ask him if he still interested to come? He told me "No" and said to me "SCARE".

New Toy : Auldey Nissan GT Remote Control Car

Hong Zheng started to get bored with his existing toys and since chinese new year is approaching, i decided to clear up his stock. I sorted out some Fisher-Price toys and sell it through internet store. Within a day, i got several order.

As a return, we decided to use the money from selling the old toys and buy him a new toy. This is what he had chosen. He picked the Auldey Nissan GT remote control car. His daddy told me he prefered another type. Pity Dad!

Very bad behaviour

These few weeks Hong Zheng seem to able to ulter a full sentence. For example, "Hong Zheng goes downstair." He seem to able to catch up the sentences ulter by us at anytime. However one thing really worry me is i started to know what he has learn and that really put me in a very nervous situation. He likes to say "go away". He said "Hong Zheng goes away", "Mommy, go away" and "Daddy, go away". When he was not agree to something that i asked or he was losing patient on certain things, the first words will be " dont want lah, go away". He hit his head occasionally too. All the words and action that i did half year ago he learned up.

I was really very upset. I was so regret on what i did. What can i do now? Anyone can help me?

Fever at 40.3C!

Hong Zheng went to his grandparents house as usually. Unfortunately his two cousins was sick, fever and mouth aucer. My sisters was trying ways to cure and calm down his youngest boy as he refused to eat and drink milk for two days. She gave her 100 plus in milky bottle which we believe can ease his pain at throat and mouth. Hong Zheng was so curious about this drink and he drunk it without my knowledge. Once i found out, i started to worry.

Two days after everything seem to be very normal but from third day onwards i started to feel his body granually turn heater. That was already on Friday. On saturday evening i started to give him some still in fridge Paracetamol. At 10pm, his fever shot up to 40.3C! Oh, i gave him another dose and put him wet towel. At 11pm, his fever dwon to 38C. Pius....i can take a rest. At 5pm, oh no, his fever still back to 40C!. Another round of wet towel and dose. Sunday morning, i brought him to general purpose clinic and the doctor subrice us a botol of Paracetamol, antibiotic and a rectal injection. However, his fever had dropped to normal range in the evening. Finally he recovered! Lesson learn, always stock a botol of Paracetamol and some rectal injections for emergency.

Broadband down for three weeks.

Finally my broadband service at home is resumed! In the past three weeks i was so worry about my blog update and finally i am back.

Without a broadband service at home to me is like staying at a deserted island. How i realize the important of internet service to my life.

The first week we thought our area service was interrupted so we wait for the first two days. After making call to Telekom and confirm only my house service was down, we move on applying the new line due to some technical failure. One week later we got the phone line. Unfortunately we only got to access to net after another week.

Long waiting time!
