唔係唔係唔係唔係唔係....


I hear most babies learn the word "no" first since the it's so easily pronounced and so commonly used.  CLM on the other hand, actually doesn't use the word "no" very often as he chooses to say "唔係唔係唔係唔係唔係....".

Me:  Cur Cur 食飯飯好嗎?
CLM:  唔係唔係唔係唔係唔係....

Me:  唔食飯咁白豬喇好嗎?
CLM:  唔係唔係唔係唔係唔係....

Me:  今日乖唔乖呀?
CLM:  冇........!!!

Nope.  In all cuteness he doesn't use the English word "no".  Lol~

New Computer aka New Toy

Unlike most ladies out there, I don't get a high from shopping for clothes, shoes, bags or makeup.  BUT!  I do get excited and happy very easily when I score a deal somewhere, especially if it's for something uber techie.  Looking back, I've documented many "new toys" on this blog from phones, more phones, monitors, gadgets, tablets, and more tablets, to other computer stuff and this week, I got yet another new toy (yes! another present!  This time from 文生, as my belated birthday gift - for this year... yup, my gift last year is still at the store).

My last computer was actually from February 2009 so getting a new one after 4.5 years is not that bad.  Opposed to last time when my previous computer died on me, I just couldn't pass up this deal when I saw it on RFD:  HP i5-3330, 8GB, 1TB, 1GB Radeon, WIN8, 23” LED IPS monitor, all for $550.  Since I hear the monitor goes for about $150 effectively making this desktop $400, I was all over it in a jiffy.

The difference a few years of technology can bring!  I remember installing Photoshop on my last computer took 3 tedious hours of my life that I won't ever get back but this time, the entire CS3 suite installed in about 30 minutes!  Three little things with this machine that semi bothers me is that it's huge compared to my little HTPC, doesn't have a blu ray drive and doesn't have enough USB ports (only two 3.0 and four 2.0, when I have nine on my last).  When CLM is not too busy pressing each and every button that he sees (aka when he's asleep), maybe I can try and swap out my old bd drive with the dvd-rw that this comes with.  Okay, one more thing: I can't use my MS natural keyboard anymore (no PS2 port) and the keyboard that came with the computer SUCKS.  So now I guess that's an excuse to buy the neato wireless keyboard that I got for work last year.  Only, it costs $90... doh...

On another note, I've asked for a new computer at work and it's supposedly coming next week.  Dell i7, 12GB I hear...  I can't wait!!!

(SIGH) But Da But Da But DAAAAAAAAAA.....

Of course I knew it was too good to be true!  The "sleeping 5-hour straight" lasted that one week and we're now back to waking up a couple of times a night again.  AND sleep time has been pushed to 11:30pm.  CLM the night ghost...

CLM is learning how to talk!  For a month now, he's been perfecting a few of his words.  He's very clear and articulate when he calls me 媽媽 or when he wants his 奶奶.  I'm so flattered!  婆婆 still sounds a bit like 波波 but calling 爹爹 is loud and clear!  Especially when he's looking for 文生 to 拍拍水 while taking his shower.  He knows to say 地地 when he wants off my bed and says GO GO when he wants to play with Lego.  Amongst his other words of 拜拜, woh woh, 襪襪 (which sometimes sounds like 媽媽), 粒粒, 包包, 飽~, 跌底! and some other words that I can't remember right now, he still uses his "but da but da but da" a lot.  I still don't know what "but da but da" means, but it just sounds so cute!  Sometimes in a conversation of "but da but da"-ness, CLM will throw in a loud "拔 da 悲!!!!!!"  No clue what it means but it definitely plays a prominent role in his babblings.

One of the recent most cutest CLM moments is when he picks up any random object, places it against his ear and uses it like a phone: 「喂! 喂! 喂!」  So far, I've seen him with mui's old cell phone, car keys, cardboard, PS3 controller, his palm, random bottles, etc.  He doesn't really say anything else but we've been telling him it's 太婆 calling.

「Cur Cur, 太婆搵你聽電話!」

I can't believe I found time to do a layout! I'm so behind with P365 that I think I'll just let it go until next year...
Now if only we can get that sleep pattern back...

He Proved Me Wrong!

A week goes by and it wasn't a fluke!  My dear CLM slept an entire week from around midnight to 5am for a grand total of five straight hours per night!!  OMG, now I gotta go celebrate the "milestone"!  You mean it does get better?!?  Ha!  I'm not that hopeful.  Well, until the next tooth comes along, I guess I can enjoy the next few weeks...

So much fun just holding an empty Vita box

For The Record

Yes, I've been MIA for over a month because I've been super duper busy, stressed and almost suicidal (don't ask), but for the record, CLM fell asleep in the car at about 11:30pm last night and slept all the way 'til 5:30am this morning!  Haven't had one of those in like... ever!!

And of course by documenting this I will have jinxed it and he'll be hellish tonight... I just know...
