CNY Hols..

5-days holidays and I already wanted to holiday'ing' forever.. hehehe.. Well, this time Nabilah had a great time with her grandparents at Muar. We went back on Wednesday evening, after my husband braved Puduraya to buy his return ticket for Sunday nite. Journey back home to Muar was never tiring, at least for me because I'm not driving :) A minute we stepped out from the car, Nabilah was taken away by my dad to see her 'ayam' at backyard. Then, the 5-days full of animal experiences of ayam, monyet, biawak and the rest (for my daughter-lah..) began.

Each morning, she woke up and shouted 'Ayaaa' as she cannot close her mouth yet to say ayam.. hehe.. then, morning walk with Atuk Ayah, followed by breakfast of many many things such as 'cekodok pisang', biscuits, banana, etc.. then, showering plants with Atuk Mak. I just watched her from far, occasionally picking her up but most of the time taking rest for myself while my hubby sleeping in the room. At one year old, Nabilah can actually utterred recongnizable one-syallable words such as 'lori', 'bas', 'nak' etc and few two-syllables words such as 'baby' and 'phoebe'. Well, Phoebe is a character in a story book that I often read to her. At times, she also understood what we say or ask her to do. She automatically shake her head when she dislikes things that we give her, and nod with smile when she wants something from us. I can write forever about her accomplishments at 1-year old.. kids are amazing :)

We managed to dress her up in a Chinese apparel bought by my husband on his trip to Canada last year. Nabilah was excited and actually screamed when I wanted to take it off her after the photo session. She looks like a Chinese baby and nothing like us, at first glance :)

The only thing that made us crazy a bit was the weather. It was too hot to handle. For a toddler like my daughter who can't stand hot weather.. it was a pain to put her down to sleep each nite. She could not sleep on day 2 because it was too hot, and maybe something bothered her too much that she kept on crying and creaming until half past 10 at nite ( it is unusual because she always never fail to sleep by 8 pm). But we managed to handle her at last with lots of 'kipas-ing' and my dad's doa.

Other than that, I enjoyed every bit of this year CNY holidays.

Sidenote: My hubby left his handset last nite. I hope Nabilah won't miss him so much like last time. He definitely has limited access to phone at this moment :o(
