Update...Update !
It's high time I write something in this blog before I get questions on 'WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?' .
Pete & I have been busy comparing the quotations from 2 IDs over the past few weeks since the lunar new year. Alas, after some changes & deciding which ID to shortlist, we are finally on the path to see 3D pictures for our new house very soon!
Weekends are spent shopping or browsing for house items like sink, taps & kitchen fittings. All these are time consuming & physically tiring! We were not able to do these during the weekdays with an active toddler in tow. It's still some time away before we can move in to our home @ Punggol Central. I do hope I can document the whole renovation process if I have the energy to do so!
I am guilty of not taking pictures of Chloe recently. She has been sleeping in her strolller while we browse for sinks & you might catch her at Ikea running around while Pete is busy measuring the dimension of our kitchen fittings. Chloe has been a darling & the occassional tantrum throwing you would expect from a soon to be 2 year old is inevitable.
Time flies ...soon I will be putting my reno chores aside & celebrate Chloe's 2 year old birthday & our 3rd Wedding Anniversary!
Yay!! I guess, we would simplify our celebrations only with our immediate family members this year.
Up to date, Chloe has picked up a number of words both from school & from the videos she watch.
She is a fan of Hi-5 now, constantly chanting hi 5 to me when I am changing her diapers for her. Since the lunar new year, she was able to pronounce her name as 'KO YEE'. She is also capable to pronounce 3 syllabus words like: Umbrella, Butterfly, Uniform & Elephant! Monkey, Lion Dance, Itchy, Tickle to name a few more.
Boy am I impressed one afternoon when she said this while getting out of the house. ' OPEN THE DOOR! ' haha...
I am definitely looking forward to more development from Chloe :) Stay tune for my next update when my renovation starts!

Barney, Money & Mummy
Chloe does not really have a special cartoon character she likes until now. Her favourite programme currently is Barney. She would request me to switch on Barney on vcd after her bath every night. She would watch barney & sing along till she falls asleep. If the show is coming to an end & she is not sleeping yet, she would jump up & down & say 'More more'!
However Chloe has a problem pronouncing the word Barney everytime. She would say MONEY instead. I had an enjoyable time yesterday after dinner teaching Chloe how to pronounce Mummy as she addresses me as Mama most of the time. I was surprised she actually knows that daddy & mummy is the same as papa & mama.
The following is my conversation with Chloe while walking to NTUC after dinner yesterday.
Me: Chloe kiss mama
Chloe leans over n kisses me.
Me: Chloe, call mummy?
Chloe: MONEY
Me: No, MUMMY not money, say MUMMY?
Chloe: Money
Me: no no, it's MUMMY, me me me not NEE..ok?
Chloe: (trying very hard to follow me & watching my lips) me me
Me: Yes, clever girl say MUMMY
Chloe: Money
Me: (Inpatient) Mummy, me me (desperately trying to emphasis on the M sound)
Chloe, following this blurted out 'MAMA'! to save the trouble in pronouncing!!
Pete & I burst out laughing :)

1st Post in 2009
This afternoon my dear colleague Adeline lamented that I have not been updating my blog. (Ade, u reading now? hehe) Yeah since beginning 2009 I seem to have no energy left after coming back from work, putting Chloe to zz land, thinking hard on ideas for our new house (Yes! we finally got our keys!!).
Weekends are mostly spent at my elder sister's place so that Chloe can play with Ian while Pete & I met up with ID for discussions on the renovation.
Sadly, no pictures taken of Chloe recently. However, I have a good news to announce. After 1 week of cold turkey, Chloe has finally weaned off her paci. Yay!! Now she hardly ask for her tutu when we are on the bus or on her way to school. Kudos to teacher Monica after I had a talk with her on Chloe's habits. Good job Chloe!
