Unconditional Love

Last nite, while walking home from the carpark, Gaby wants me to carry him. So I just passed a comment "Aiyo, mummy is sweaty, sticky and smelly and you still want me to carry you?"

Gaby : "Mummy, I love you even if you are sweaty, sticky and smelly becos you are my mother."

Today Bollywood, tomorrow Hollywood? Mr P going international!!!

I really don't know how to start writing about everything... Have to blame myself for being lazy I guess. If I have write them down diligently almost everyday, then at least I won't be suffering a mental block right now... So... one thing at a time... Let's talk about Mr P...

Yes, yes, yes, Mr P has gone "international"! We have completed our "project" with Bollywood. He has acted along India's Mega Super Star, Akshay Kumar! And the film is directed by India's most experienced director Priyadarshan. Although they are both super BIG names in India, they dun behave snobbish at all. Askay is a very friendly person. Always very smiley... And Priyadarshan, I think he is a very respectable director in India. Throughout the few days of filming, I find him to be an easy-going person. Although he has his expectations he do understand that sometimes the dog may not be able to do certain tasks... but thank goodness, Mr P live up to his name as a "Star Dog" (well, at least he'll be one after the release of this movie... I hope). He completed most of his scenes without much problem. All credit should go to my "Shi Fu". Some of the tasks sounds really simple but without Shi Fu, Mr P probably couldn't do it.

Akshay Kumar

Priyadarshan

There is a scene that took us quite long to complete. And I have to stand infront of this huge light to lure Mr P towards the right direction. Should have applied some tanning lotion....

Start and End

I will stop work this friday... nope... and "we" will not be bz cos "we" still have to work...

Mr P's 开工大吉

Yesterday was our first day filming. Location at ECP... reporting time was 6pm...

We set off from home at abt 5.30pm. I thought that since I will be driving there, half an hour will be more then enough time to get to the location. But who knows, there was a HUGE traffic jam along AYE/ECP. In the end, it took us one hour to arrive at ECP. And by the time we reached ECP, I think I am probably deaf! Mr P couldn't stop barking at ALL the motorist that drove past my car. I was a little worried that one hour of barking will probably tired him out. What if he's too tired to do anything the director wants??

It was really a great experience last nite. Will try to post photos...

Oh, and then on the way home, Mr P barked all the way home too!

Alexius doing his no 2

Last nite, I was looking after Alexius while Gaby was having his dinner. At one point, I dun really know what Alexius wants. He kept walking from the left side of my bed to the front and then back again. Then I suspected that he is trying to poo. I find it really 'interesting' so i took out my cam and took this down... His actions just reminded me of Poofie. Whenever Poofie wants to poo, he'll walk around the newspaper before finding the "right" spot to poo. Hmm... I wonder if Alexius learnt this from Mr P??

It runs in the Lee family... bus... bus... bus...

Last few weeks I have to struggle with Alexius so much with feeding him milk that i think i hurt my wrist... my left wrist... that's the arm that supports him when i feed him milk. I should have started training him to drink his milk lying down on the bed like what I did with Gaby last time... see la, now Alexius can only drink his milk this way... But actually, i think i have myself to be blamed. I love the closeness of him lying in my arms during milk feeding time. Now that he doesn't latch on, this is the least consolation i guesss.

Now the feeding is slightly better... only slightly. Found a way to 'distract' him, that is to let him watch the tele during milk feeds. At first it was Barney. There are 2 Barney vcds that he likes. Campfire Barney and Pajama Party... He doesn't like the talking bits, only the singing parts interest him. Then now he has lost interest in dear Barney. All he likes is the "Wheel on the bus" DVDs. And not only during milk feeding time, even during his porridge time, it's "Wheel on the bus" dvd. If other prog is on the tv, he'll say "bus! bus! bus!"

Oh, and he only likes those parts when they are sing "The Wheels on The Bus" tunes. He knows the sequence of the songs... knows when the wheels go round and round, fingers go snap snap snap, hands go clap clap clap, lights go flash flash flash, wipers go swip swip swip, and daddy goes shh shh shh...







These dvds used to be for Gaby during his meal times. They are Gaby's side dishes during meal times until Fireman Sam came into picture... and now Alexius... guess it runs in the Lee family.

The 4 Finger Pianist

Amazing!!!

Don't worry, you can still be a fireman

no more swelling this morning

the swell had gone down a little bit when I took this pic...

Gaby came home from the playground crying with swollen upper lip yesterday. Jon has pushed him and caused him to "kiss" the floor and ended with a red fat swollen upper lip. My poor sugar lump started to cry when he saw me. I wanted very much to give him some kisses on his painful lips but can't becos of my cold. So all I can provide is some hugs and let him sit on my lap and tell me what has happened.

It looked really swelled up yesterday. When he tried to do "Eeee", I can't see his upper row of teeth. Was a little worried that his 2 front teeth are shaky but thank goodness, they are fine now and he hasn't complain of any pain after last nite.

Mr Lee told me that after the accident, he has made Gab gaggle his mouth with some water to get rid of the blood. Jon and his dad came over to say sorry. Then Gaby cried again and said that "mummy will be upset that I fell down". My little boy sure knows me well. Of cos I will be upset la... but heart pain would be the right word.

When I was showering him in the bathroom, he told me that Jerry was very upset and was crying becos he saw him fell down. So I told Gaby that both him and Jerry should stop being upset cos the fall wasn't that bad. If it's that bad, then we'll all have to go to the hospital already. Then after showering Gaby, I went to get ready Alexius porridge. While I was in the kitchen, Gaby came to me crying again... he was worried that he couldn't be a fireman cos he also hurt his hand. So I tried to console him by saying that the pain will go away soon and when the pain is gone, he can be a fireman. While walking out of the kitchen, he suddenly turned to me and said that he can be a fireman cos he can still move his fingers... and then he stick his middle finger up and showed me! ya... ya... ya... Gaby, you can be a fireman... no worries.

During dinner, Mr Lee asked Gaby is he would still want to play with Jon. And I was quite surprised with Gaby's reply "yes dad, I will still play with Jon. Mrs Rajan said that we have to like everybody." (Mrs Rajan is his teacher) So Mr Lee told him that in future when he notice that Jon is about to flare up, just avoid him and move to another place.
