..I mean..rabbit!
Oh, so I actually didn't wish everyone Gong Xi Fatt Chai and today is already the 6th day of the Chinese New Year. Oh, bad me. We balik kampung on the eve of Chinese New Year, just in time to see the fireworks. Shern kept himself busy playing fireworks with his cousins while Maine just cling on to her daddy like a koala bear. Can't blame her, the fireworks were super loud, like it even got my heart thumping out of my body.
It was great spending time with family back home, feasting and all. I haven't got any photos to share yet, but will do if I get any. Now that we're back home, Maine is down with a fever, I think that because she's teething. Did I mentioned her teeth are sprouting out like mushrooms! Told my aunt about it, and she said that's because Maine didn't want to miss out feasting for CNY, and thus the mushrooming. LOL. Hope she gets well soon.
That aside, she's such a darling. At 1 year 5 months old, she's still not talking much. Words she says are quite limited compared to Shern was he was her age. Bad mom, shouldn't even be comparing them but can't help it la. She calls daddy (Papa), and me (Mama), calls kakak (tatak), call my sis (Meme), calls granny (popo), grandaunty (ma), calls Linda (dada), says (ball, bird, wow-wow as in dog, bowl, peh for please, thow for throw), and she says the cutest Oh-oh.. Love to hear her say that. She fights a lot with Shern, pull his hair, scream, pinch and bite, all because Shern always refuses to give in to her. I don't see Maine fighting with Marcus because Marcus is always the Mr. good guy and always giving in to the princess. At this rate Shern and Maine are going, my guess is there'll be more drama between them once that girl starts talking. Oh, boy! I can't wait!
Shern is now in Six Years old class, and next year he'll be in standard one already. How time flies. He's super chatty, super bossy and super manipulative. He cheats when playing UNO, but makes it all sounds like it's part of the rule! He made my brother 'draw 4 x 4 wild cards', and after my brother did that (16 cards at one go, how is that even possible), he took all the wild cards back so he can throw it on someone else later, and he told my brother "it's like that one". Oh well, my brother who was recovering from a bad accident, in his state of bad memory, actually believed him! Oh my boy..
And I don't even know where to start mentioned the other hundred things he said that sounds so real but not. Should really update this blog more often, so one day he will read it and know how cheeky he once was. Erm, I so need my blogging mojo back.
Tiger year was quite a bad year for us, my prayer is that for this rabbit year, everything will turn out better. But seriously, I'm not a superstitious person, I don't freaking care if it's a rabbit or a tiger year, a cat or a dragon year, can't let an animal decide if my luck will get better or not. I'm putting my trust in my God, for that I know I'm now in good Hands. I've seen how he saved my brother, I'm sure he's keeping an eye on the rest of us too.
Here's wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year 2011!

Read somewhere that when older sibling is chatty and talkative, the younger sibling will be slower to speak. My S2 was really really slow...at 18 months, he could only say mama and papa. I was soooooo worried that I took him to see a speech therapist.
My fears of coyrse was unfounded, as once he started to talk...there was NO way of stopping him. He will actually talk himself to bed! Even now at school, teachers have to continually remind him to keep quiet and listen!!!
Btw, Gong Xi Fa Chai!
happy CNY to you and family too. Can't wait to see the pics!
