Funny gal.
She's got a bad runny nose, green snot and snorting away in her sleep.
Poor little thing.
She was still so active today!

Duck!
She says it with much aplomb, arms outstretched or pointing at her new toy ducks!

She's climbed up the IKEA bench and tried...
to climb up the sofa and the normal bed.
Just one problem, there's not always enough space for her to turn around and come down.
She's also been climbing up and down our mattress, as if working out, for fun. She's opened and closed the IKEA revolving shelf's bottom door by herself.
She's also very clingy when Papa leaves for work.
Mummy's been slacking on the flash cards since returning from Malaysia and falling sick.
She says Kaka(k) very well and often when our neighbour's kids come over, or can be heard.
She's gotten into a habit of holding up hands to walk, rather than crawl, to go somewhere. Hoping she'd walk independently soon.
I love this little girl.

Aims with her bum
Recently, she's been doing something rather amusing, to me at least. Papa hasn't had the chance to witness it yet.
First time was with the Potette Plus, minus the plastic bag. Since it is 'clean', I allowed her to do what she wished with it.
She pulled it near the bed. Pulled herself up beside the bed. Used her leg to kick it around a bit while holding the bed for support. Then she tries to sit on it, at first I thought, like a stool, off centre or too far back. When she finally sits right in the middle, as a potty, she flaps her arms happily and pants in bliss, then only did I realize what she was trying to do! Praises, lots of cooing, clapping and kissing! And she attempts again, a few more times :)
Today, she does it again. This time, with the new rubber duck that Papa just bought. She throws it forward, back, then she crawls in front of it, and starts pushing her butt up in the air, as if reverse parking, then attempts to land on the duck. When she finally hits spot on and the duck squeaked loudly in protest, she again flaps her arms and pants happily! Then only Mummy realized, she was trying to make duck squeak by sitting on it. She does this one more time when we're in bed, throws duck off bed, the muddle around the edge, and squeak! Happy baby. Mummy was floored with laughter.
Sigh. The things Ning do. Should video! Where's that camera?!

Birthday Gift (career/life/luck) Selection
She was already to go the moment we put her on the floor, even before Mah Mah has finished laying the gifts down.
The gifts were:
Egg representing food & beverage / abundance
Pencil representing creativity / law
Book representing academic
Calculator representing accountancy / engineering
A $10 note, representing finance / financial wealth
Or something like that, Lougong, correct me if I'm wrong yeah.
Okay, so she creeps over, swipes the egg aside after a glance, then picked up the pencil. After holding it correctly, she headed for the book and drew a line, or two, on the cover. Ops, whom it belongs to, sorry yah! Then she swipes / punches the buttons on the calculator, very shortly, and held the $10 note. This time, she won't let go no matter what we tried to exchange it for, not even Mummy.
Funny girl.
So, my interpretation, open for interpretation, she'll have enough to live on not to care for it much (egg), and will dabble in creative works or law (pencil) and also be academic staff (book; professor, maybe), she'll make calculated investment / choices and holds on to her wealth carefully.
I hope.
:D

She also demonstrated that...
(during the last 2 weeks)
Keys open locked doors.
Ning asked Popo to bring her out. Popo shows that she cannot open the door because it is locked. Ning points to bunch of keys hanging next to door, then touched her index finger at the key hole.
When it's time to sleep, we go upstairs.
About 9pm daily, she'll start creeping to foot of stairs and point upwards then nod, indicating it's time to go up for milk and bed. The amazing thing is, the timing is very regular for a 11 month old who can't 'read' a clock / time yet!
That a pencil or a pen is for making marks on paper!
We've shown her before, to teach her the actual purpose of pencil so she won't poke, bite or eat the pencils and pens she finds. She found a pencil and paper (that Cerys left around) at Popo's and started making marks too. Mostly striking lines and dots on the paper. She chose the pencil during her birthday 'gift selection'.
Switching on and off television.
This skill is quite empowering, especially when it comes to the television. Now Mummy must respect her wish to have Mummy pay attention to her.
She understands Mummy don't allow hitting people, even if they find it funny.
She was swiping Mah Mah away initially, then when Mah Mah reacted funnily, she began doing it on purpose. I said sternly, "No hitting Mah Mah", and looked at her disapprovingly, shaking my head. She didn't do it again. Come to think of it, she didn't really swiped much later on, except when she's sleepy and really don't want others to carry her.
She understands the Cantonese word "Pai pai" and can do so.
Worshipped the altar for ancestors and Goddess of Mercy.
Swipe the touch phone and make things appear and disappear
Omnia II has a 'desktop' which when swiped changes. She did it a few times today. Wonder what other programs she can play, might come in handy while traveling.
What 2 is
There were 10 preserved fruit wrapped in paper in a bottle, she was initially taking them out randomly and putting them back in. I asked her to take 2 out for Mummy. After taking 2 out, I waited. She tapped on the bottle as if to say, 2 already, what are you waiting for? I said, "Oh, thank you!" and praised her for it. Then I poured out all from the bottle, and asked her to put 2 back in, and she put 2 in. Then she swiped the rest away.
I'm impressed. I'd never thought that a baby can be so intelligent so early, though I've read it and believe it, it never ceases to amaze me.
I'm just hoping I'm doing enough to feed her learning apetite. Gotta find out more about our natural environment to point things out to her.
Have vowed to myself:
to show her at least 10 new things a day;
read at least 10 books to her a day;
do as much doman cards to her as possible a day.

Chatter Climber Descender
We spent the last 2 weeks at the grandparents and celebrated her birthday @ Crystal Palm restaurant :)
In this span of time, she learnt...
Wo wo is dog,
Meow is cat,
Kai kai means going out,
Mum mum is food,
Poot poot is car (sigh)
From Popo and Gong Gong.
said...
Go(ng) Go(ng) go where? when she saw photo of Ah Gong.
Thank yee (you), after playing with Gong Gong, and separately after playing with Cerys.
Climbed 1 step and half at Popo's,
descended the bed by herself by putting 1 foot over edge first, roll on to her tummy, then lower both feet till they touch the floor,
crept with knees off ground, when put in a dress (hamper normal creeping),
said the sweetest "Papa" over the phone to Papa,
and can now easily climb on and off our mattress and guest bed.
Hmm, will monitor and see when we can restore our bed to normal height.
