I miss you ...

Dadi was in Australia working for one week and I miss Dadi very much. I made 2 cards while Dadi was away......


First card: i miss you dad

Second card: Love Love Love Love ....

Third card/ picture: My family . . . So many of them... Dadi, Mami, Ben Ben, Shaun Shaun, Ah Mah, Yeh Yeh, Mah Mah & Bong (Kakak)

Dustbin Man

I have been telling everyone that I want to be a Dustbin Man. Mami looked puzzled, and she kept repeating that Dustbin Man doesn't need to go to school and that they get very little money to buy anything that they want. How to buy my Taxi Car (Oh.... I also like to buy Taxi Car)? I replied Mami, "No....I want to be Dustbin Man who can get money one....".


Mami: I can't seem to understand why Ben likes to be a Dustbin Man. Also, my mum had earlier been using a Hyundai Elantra Car and Ben associates that car as a Taxi Car. Since we sold the car and bought a MyVi, Ben has been telling us that he doesn't like the car, and he wants the Taxi Car. Somehow I think that Ben prefers that Taxi Car because the car is lower and is easy for Ben to get up/down from the car, and he is capable of opening/closing the car door himself. For MyVi, the car door is more heavy, and he requires assistance most of the time.

New playmate

I finally have a new kakak who just came yesterday. We didn't have a kakak for 1 year already. Time really flies.

Her name is Chandy, and Mami said that I cannot call her Kakak. She is a Cambodian, and in her language, I need to call her "Bong" which means Sister. Hhm..... sounds funny to call her "Bong".

Yesterday, she played puzzles with me and accompanied me to bed. It's nice having a new playmate, especially when Mami is working during the day. Mami reminded me that Bong needs to do housework. So, she is also working, and I can only play with her when she has finished her work.

Is it my birthday yet?

I earlier asked Mami "Is it my birthday yet?" Mami said that the month of March is Ah Mah's & Tobin's birthday. My birthday is in April. Hhm.... April means next month right? Yey..... I can't wait till April.

Mami: Ben has been very excited waiting for the month of April. Little does he know and understand that his birthday falls on the last day of April. Hope he'll be patient till then.

Updates....

It's been awhile since Mami had helped me blogged about me. How have I been?

I still love Thomas & friends. Mami and Dadi have been graciously buying wooden trains for me to play. I would lay out the wooden tracks at home to play. Wish I could play all day and not sleep.

I have started learning how to write some alphabets. Not that pretty, but I guess you should be able to make up the alphabet.

As there is still no "kakak" at home, Dadi, Mami and Ah Mah have been busy with the "house" and with Shaun Shaun. Dadi and Mami would take turns to play train with me. I would always chase Shaun Shaun away from my train tracks. He keeps destroying them... especially my bridge.

Mami and Dadi have been teaching me how to share my toys. I really dislike sharing, but sometimes I have no choice. Mami said that if I didn't share my toys with Shaun Shaun, she would take away one train from me and give it away. I try to share..... but not my Thomas trains. I would tell Shaun Shaun that Thomas trains are for big boys. Baby needs to play with baby toys.

I try to sayang Shaun Shaun also..... Most of the time Shaun Shaun would come and disturb me to sayang me. I would normally push him away. But there was once he was so focused on the TV, I attempted to sayang him... but he did not respond :( So, what can I do?

Gong Xi Fatt Chai

Gong Xi Fatt Chai everyone......

It's fun during this Chinese New Year time... I am currently in Ipoh and i love to play and play and play. My Mah Mah, Yeh Yeh and cousins, Joel & Jared are here to play with me. Joel is the same age as i am, but i am a few months older. So, we get to play together, fight together and love each other. Strange...sometimes we feel like we don't like each other. Few minutes later, we would just laugh and play together. Best of all, Dadi bought some fireworks and we played the all night. My favourite is the pop-pop. Joel would throw the pop-pop on the floor. I, on the other hand likes to place them on the floor and step on them. We played sparkers too, but Mah Mah said that it was too dangerous because we kept pointing the sparkers at each other. Dadi lighted some other fireworks which shot up to the sky like a spaceship. Cool..... Hope we get to play more tomorrow.

Music Class

I just started attending music class in Yamaha Music School since the first week of Jan this year. It has been fun. I love going for the classes, but i don't understand why Teacher Aw does not allow me to play the keyboard. Doesn't all music classes come with playing the keyboard? Mami kept telling me that the classes is all about music appreciation. Don't quite understand this, but it kinda fun because there are lots of singing, clapping and the music is pretty cool. Wish I could start playing any musical instrument.... Hhm....drums would be fun.....

It's Christmas

I know that Christmas is Jesus' birthday and i love to sing the carol "Joy to the Whole". It's been fun having so many many many presents. Even Shaun Shaun's presents are my presents to...heh...heh... Since Shaun Shaun is too young to open and play with them ....

Mami and Dadi have been on leave from work, taking me to shopping malls almost everyday. It's fun. I get to see lots and lots of Christmas trees.

Love photo-taking

I love taking photos using Mami's handphone and sharing what i've taken. See, me enjoying sharing the photos i've taken.

Arts & Craft Exhibition

Everyone was invited to an Arts & Craft Exhibition in my school just before the school holidays. I was very excited to show Mami, Dadi and Ah Mah what I have been doing at school.

There are photos of some art work. I had also taken a photo with Teacher Sher Li.

Concert Support . . .

Was thankful to have so many people to come see my concert. Yeh Yeh and Mah Mah came all the way from Ipoh to see my performance. Dadi, Mami and Ah Mah came too.

Me and my Yeh Yeh from Ipoh ...

Me and Mah Mah from Ipoh...

Me and Ah Mah ... who takes care of me 365 days a year.

Hhm...two more photos missing.... Guess I was too tired and restless after the concert. So, didn't managed to take photos with Dadi and Mami.... But I love all of them :)

My Montessori School Concert

Had my school concert last Sunday at Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam (KGPA). Didn't really understand what it meant by a concert. We had a rehearsal earlier, but it sure didn't looked like the one I saw on Sunday. There were so many many many (5x) people in the concert. Never saw such a big crowd in my life in one big big big room.

For the concert, I was acting as a frog in a title called "The sleeping bunnies". There were bunnies, froggies and bees.



Then, we became little stars, out to play in the all time favourite nursery rhyme, sang in Mandarin and English language. I had a stage fright...... didn't show my bright shining stars on the palm of my hands.


Mami: Was proud of Ben Ben. Was worried that he would cry on stage, but praise God.... He didn't!

Once a Upon a Time . . .

Since I started having the Thomas & Friends character books, I would always ask Dadi or Mami to tell me make-belief stories of Thomas & Friends. Sometimes, Mami would ask me to tell my own story using my own collection of wooden trains. Some of the stories goes like this:

Story 1:
Once-a-upon-a-time, James go to Fat Controller. "I don't know where is my tender". "Help...help". Then Percy come to help James....."ChooChoo!....ChooChoo!....". Then Percy bring the tender to James. "Thank you Percy". Then James go to Fat Controller. "I find the tender already". "Well done"....."Thank you".... The-end.

Story 2:
Once-a-upon-a-time, Thomas lost Annie & Carabel. "I don't know where is Annie & Carabel". Then Percy come to help Thomas......"ChooChoo!...ChooChoo!....". Then Percy bring Annie & Carabel to Thomas. "Thank you Percy". Then Percy got no water, and cannot move. "Help...help". Then Thomas push Percy to Water Tower to get water. "Finish!!". Then Percy can move again....The-end.


Mami: Ben loves his trains and would always select some of his trains to carry everywhere he goes. He would place them into a toy bucket (which belongs to his brother - Shaun) and moves around with them. His stories would always have elements of a train loosing something and/or calling for help, and would always expect Percy to help the other engines. Somehow he thinks that Percy is the most helpful engine, and Gordon is the naughty one. That is also why he refuses to buy Gordon, the wooden train.

Thomas & Friends . . .

A few weeks ago, Dadi & Mami brought me to the MPH Warehouse sale and I had a choice of choosing my very own books. So, I took so many, so many Thomas & Friends character books. Mami thought I was too greedy, so she only bought me 6 of the books with the characters of Toby, Bertie, Rosie, Peter Sam, Oliver and Edward. I loved the books and I would also ask Dadi & Mami to read the stories to me. Just can't get over the stories.

Amanda's 1st Birthday Party

I went to Uncle Henry's house last night. It was Amanda's 1st birthday. I was too shy to play with other Koko and Cheh Cheh there. I was quite quiet. All I remember was that Uncle Ken was forcing me to eat a durian. In the end, I agreed to lick a seed of durian. Not sure if I liked the taste. . .

Oh... this is the birthday girl...Amanda:

Here is Amanda showing her 2 front teeth. . .


Note: Uncle Henry and Uncle Ken are Mami's friends.

Lantern Party

There was a lantern party in my school a few days ago. Teacher Goh told us a story of what Mooncake Festival was all about. There were many children who brought different and colourful lantern. I had 2 lanterns with me. One was a Nemo fish which Uncle Edward (Mami's friend) bought for me. Another was a seal which Mami bought for me. Teacher Goh and Teacher Sher Li had a big big big yellow lantern which flew high high in the sky. It's was so nice.

My Baby Car

I love to seat in this Baby Car. It's so nice to sit. Mami is always scolding me and not letting me sit.

My creation . .

This is my creation. An Aeroplane and a Car.

My Progress Report - Aug 2008

Dadi and Mami went to see Teacher Sher Li in school last Saturday to take my progress report. Teacher Sher Li said that I was a joy to have in her school. Dadi and Mami were very happy with me. This is a snapshot of my progress report. See....see... the conclusion which Teacher Sher Li wrote in my report.


Mami: Dadi and Mami are very proud of you, Benjamin. In case the picture is unclear, the teacher wrote "Benjamin is a gentle and thoughtful boy, always ready to help out. He loves to learn and is on target to meet his milestones".

Drums "Sifu"

I love to play the drums and I like Koko James. Koko James plays the drums in church very well. So, now, I have a "Sifu" who promise to teach me how to play the drums when I am a little bigger. So, here I am practising my drum strokes.

Ada gaya or not?

Car Wash

We haven't had a "Kakak" since the month of April. Since then, I have been a good helper at home. I would love to help Mami wash the clothes, switch on the washing machine, take the clothes to dry and wash the car. Sometimes, i would also help to mop the floor.

These pictures are of me helping Mami to wash the car:

Step 1: Squeeze and turn the cloth.


Step 2: Wait for instructions from Mami which part of the car to clean.


Step 3: Make sure I obey and clean the part of the car as instructed by Mami.


Step 4: Make sure I don't miss any areas when I clean. Mami said that I must clean properly.

Step 5: When I am done, I must throw away the water in the pail

Step 6: I must keep the cloth and pail away.

Sorry, Mami forgotten to take a picture of me doing this, but i did put away the cloth and pail in the correct place. Hee Hee, anyone wants their car washed . . . .


Mami: Ben has been a great helper at home. He is always ready and willing to help when you ask him to. I thank God for him. By the way, anyone needs a car wash? You can pay Ben to do it.

New Swim Wear

This is my new Swim Wear that Mami bought for me recently. I don't know why Mami wants to cover most parts of my body. She said it's bad to look "sexy".

Me at 3 years and 3 months old

Day & Night

I love to repeat this sentence "Day time is school (or play) and night time is sleeping". I do not like to go to sleep. Everynight I'll tell Mami and Dadi that it's "Day Time". I just don't understand why Jesus must make night time. Can Jesus take night time away?


Mami: Benjamin loves to go to school and see his Teacher Sher Li.

Camera-man

Look at me. I'm a Camera-man. When Mami was trying to take a photo of Shaun Shaun Titi, I quickly took my own Camera and did the same.

Mother's Day Card

I made my first Mother's Day Card with the help of Teacher Sher Li in school last Friday. Was so happy and I kept reading the card to Mami.

See.....See.......My card for Mami and other arts & crafts which I made in school for the past few weeks.

Happy Mother's Day, Mami. I love you.

Proud Dadi

My proud Dadi carrying Shaun Shaun Titi around the house with a carrier. Titi seemed quiet without any complaints, although he doesn't look like he was enjoying it.

Happy Birthday Ben Ben

Yesterday was a happy happy day. It was my birthday. Mami said that I am 3 years old now, big boy already. Had a happy happy day in school. Was surprised to see my Ah Mah, Dadi, Ah Kim and Tobin Titi in my school. They came with my Elmo birthday cake and many many goodies. Everyone sang a birthday song and I served all my friends my Elmo cake.

Received many presents:
1) Ah Mah earlier gave me Thomas the Trains
2) Mah Mah gave me a set of Poney clothes
3) Yeh Yeh gave me a set of Mandarin Level II flash cards
4) Ah Ku and Ah Kim gave me a set of Gap clothes
5) Mami and Dadi bought me a big fire engine with a remote control
6) Kai Yer gave me a nice, "many" pop-out Dr Seuss book
7) My classmate, Qing Qing gave me a Barney puzzle and Thomas the Train stickers
8) Teacher Sher Li and classmates gave me a nice hand-made birthday card with all their finger-prints

See.... so many many presents. Thank you to all.

Pictures of my birthday party will be posted later. Dadi said that the camera had no batteries, so, he couldn't download the pictures from the camera.
