Born in Subang Jaya Medical Centre.

I was born with

a headfull of hair and people say I had Elivis' haristyle the moment I emerged from the womb. I had a loud trumpety voice (now, it's more hoarse than normal kids) and cried fervently and frantically for everything.

Doctor said I might have clickety hips in the begining but the clicking went off. I started developing symptoms of eczema at the age of 3 months and had a serious case of cradle cap.

Eating habits

I love to eat when I was a baby. I did not want to breastfeed and did not even like milk very much. Instead, I loved solid food. Anything solid with a little bit of vegetables and fruits added to it, I like it.

Now that I am older, I know better. I hate fruits (don't touch them) and I only eat vege occassionally (like when my mom threatens to switch the TV off)

Only last month, I hated eating (when I was sick) and hardly ate anything during that time.

Character

I'd like to think I am creative but my mom says I am very mischievious and cheeky. I think so too but in a very creative way, I suppose.

I am going through this thing they call the 'Terrible Twos' and like to challenge adult authority very often. Sometimes, when I am in a good mood, I let things slide and do as I am told but most of the time, I like to make the adults run for their lives and tear their hair out.

Talking

I love to talk now that I am getting the hang of it. Most of the time, people like mommy, kakak and ah-mah understand me but sometimes daddy looks at me funny.

I am learning to talk quite fast because I have inspiration from my cousins, Yi Lin and Isabelle. They talk to each other really fast and I try to imitate them as best as I could.

I think I do a pretty good job, you know.

Potty training

I don't use the potty. The moment I am sitted there, I can't do my toilet business! Don't ask me why. I need to squat, so, I use the adult toilet. I am currently toilet trained by day and still wearing disposable diapers during the night.

Just last night, I woke up telling mommy that I wanted to use the toilet but she ignored me. So, I decided to do my wee-wee in my pants (in the diaper) and went back to sleep. Hopefully, tomorrow won't be the same. I want to be out of these diapers.

Words I can say

I say 'e-elephant' for elephant. Poo-pear for Pooh Bear. I can say Eeyore perfectly fine. Recently, I learnt how to say 'me first', 'my turn', 'yours turn', 'not here', 'over there', 'no eat', 'mommy over there', 'caterpillar' (more like cayerpiyar).
