My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? - Matthew 27:46

Papa bought me a violin yesterday after I said I prefer a violin instead of a guitar. Papa even called Marcus kor kor to teach me violin when I go back Singapore. Mommy hope I will not get sick of toying with the violin then. Don't worry, I will take good care of it! :)




Mommy's nightmare begins... Her doctor sent her for physiotherapy again... Poor her, she is struggling with the pain to take care of me and Papa. I can see her in pain when I insist her to carry me. She has started dosing her painkiller when days are bad. I know the pain will take longer to heal than her initial injury as I always bump and climb on her. It's also hard to find time for physio here as she will have to leave me in hourly care. She doesn't like the hourly care as the children there are often coughing or having running nose. It's not too good for me to fall sick now when she has her back injury while Papa's exam is round the corner. Argh....dilemma dilemma... Hope we don't need to recall Popo back to take care of us. :)

Update some recent pictures:

Taken at Dennis The Menace playground with my friends.

Pain pain

Who knows if He will turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him? - Joel 2:14

Mommy's back pain is unbearable today, dunno what goes wrong again. Pray that she will recover and bring me out more often.

I have so much fun at Auntie Val's house. Hee, they said I behaved very well in the story telling session and also at her house. I think I have finally convinced Mommy that I am a good boy and she will certainly allow me to go out with them more often. :)

I can read these two books almost perfectly, of coz I memorize them and still can't read the words. It will take me some time to learn how to read...

Strange phenomenon

Let us not love in words or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. - 1 John 3:18

I am behaving pretty strange lately. I didn't want to watch any DVD or TV for more than two weeks. If I know Mommy wants to switch on the DVD player, I will start crying and shake my head. Papa is wondering if any show has frightened me but Mommy said no. The last DVD she showed me was Good morning Maisy and I was enjoying it then. She is still trying to find out what is wrong with me. :)

Mommy has injured her spine last week and has been on bed rest for a few days. She couldn't remember how it occured but it did frighten her. She couldn't straighten her back for the first two days, and now she is not able to sit for long. She has not visited the doctor yet because she knows she won't have the time to go for physiotherapy here. Therefore, she has been diligently resting and working on the pilate exercises that will help to strengthen her back. We are praying hard that the pain will miraculously disappear in the coming weeks.

Tomorrow, Auntie Valerie will bring me to the story telling session in the library and let Mommy stays home to rest. Mommy is worried that I will misbehave when she is not around. Auntie Valerie has even proposed to bring me to her house for lunch and some play session with Dominic kor kor until nap time. Will update you the outcome.

Some backlog again...

He must increase, but I must decrease. - John 3:30

I enjoy playing music instruments lately

Papa is my shield if Mommy ignores me.

I love sand

What is the stalk of flower doing up there?

Cheeky "you"! (I still can't differentiate between you and me)

Mommy babysit Auntie Emily's son, Edward.

After this day, Papa strongly feels that he can't handle two. :)

Stopped by this National Park when we were on our way to Crater Lake - 10 hrs drive away from Monterey

We were very disappointed with this Rendevous SUV, the seats were hard like rocks.

How I wish I can occupy this room by myself, so I can watch TV all night...

God's creation - Crater Lake

Why is it so blue? Coz of the sunlight shining into the lake, the deeper the lake, the bluer it will be (Hm... no such word in dictionary but think you will understand what I mean)

Is it worth driving for 10 hr? Absolutely!

The island in the middle of the lake is called Wizard Island. Does it look like a wizard hat?

We hiked for 1.5 hr up and down the trail to see this jetty and boat to go around Crater Lake. Hee, of coz I was sitting cum sleeping on the backpack carried by my exhausted Papa.

Last view of Crater Lake

The hotel receptionist told us this lake is beautiful but I still prefer Crater Lake.

We went to the annual California Rodeo in July at Salinas. We took the bus sponsored by IPO and I really enjoyed watching the horses and bulls performance.

Uncle John, Auntie Tricia and Caleb kor kor

I built a tower higher than Mommy's.

Preparing to attend Caleb's birthday party.

Playing games at the party, I won a prize and so did everyone ;).

Eyeing on the cake and cars on it.

The beach at Seaside

Went for the Lantern Festival and firework at Pacific Grove

Work cheerfully and be proud of my job.

Mommy organized an outing - took the trolley bus to Cannery Rows and Fisherman Wharf.

I am very agile at the playpark now.

Day out with Thomas at the Roaring Camp Railroad, Felton
