Chang-Ku-Dat

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I remember when i was young, going on someone’s back .. and being carried was call.. playing “chang ku dat” .. i donch really know what language it is.. because my mother is an indonesian chinese.. and was brought up by my grandauntie .. who is from Penang. And my father is a very typical chinaman.. who speaks well in english.. because my grandfather works for the prison.

I think my siblings and I are more influence by my mother .. since we were literally brought up by her alone… and my grandaunt.. whom we call “yee-poh”. So i think Chang ku dat is malay .. mixed chinese..??

Anyhow.. Chloe loves to play chang ku dat with daddy.

  • Chloe finally slept at 12am last nite, after mummy left the room.
  • Woke up at 3.48am, and had some milky, peepee changed and went back to sleep almost immediately, no fuss. Maybe my gal is becoming a big gal now..??
  • Woke up at 9.30am for daddy and refused to sleep again.
  • Had breakfast of cereal and yogurt with daddy and ate all her food.
  • Played with daddy for a few hours… while mummy slept till 1pm.
  • Had wanton noodles for lunch with chicken pieces.

  • Katelynn came at 4.15pm earlier than usual because we needed to head out to the store.
  • Woke up at 5.11pm from her nap crying and refuses to have her rice, I think it is a new taste, something she haven’t had before, so Katelynn will try again later.
  • Still didnt’ wanna eat at 6.30pm, so i had to send Papa BoK out to get some chow mein for her.
  • Papa BoK made her eat the chicken rice and she did finished it.
  • Unfortunately, after having such a late dinner, Katelynn, our babysitter fed her cereal again an hour or so later. Which is her normal routine, if Chloe would have ate at 5.30pm.
  • So poor Chloe was quite bloated up, and burped quite a few times.. almost like throwing up.
  • We had to delay her bath and bathed her after we had dinner, which worked out well, since we were so hungry.
  • Had her milky at about 11pm . .and went to bed at 12.30am. Babysitter said she was good.
  • Words & Eat

    Chloe is able to say alot more words now.. and we are so proud of her..!

    She can call out Sarah’s name.. as soon as she enters the store.. and now know how to ask for water and milk properly. She knows how to say Dog and Meow Meow for Cat..! and Be Careful..! Cool..! Soon, soon.. she will be able to sound coherent.. hahaha!!

    She eats way better now.. finishing all her food alot quicker now.. and eating her chicken bits and swallowing them more.. instead of mincing them..and throwing them out at the end of the meal.
