Q: What is Tessa's favourite number?
A: 9! Tessa loves to chant "nai nai nai" (nine)
Our little girl is addicted to milk. Although the prescribed number of feeds per day now is only 2, our girl will be asking milk at least 4 times per day.
The minute she wakes up in the morning, she asks for 'nai nai'; the moment she wakes up from her nap, she asks for 'nai nai'; almost as soon as she finishes her porridge, she asks for 'nai nai'....
She is a true blue milk addict.
Day by day we watch them grow....

My Tessa is fast growing up!
Sometimes, we really can't believe that 13 months have passed since our little one arrived.
We have learnt so much from her in the 13 months. We have had so much joy and laughter because of her in the 13 months. We have developed so much love for her in the 13 months. In a way, she has strengthened my relationship with my parents and my hubby. For that, I am thankful.
Tessa has grown up so much in the past 13 months. She is cheerful. She is interactive. She is naughty. She is smart. She is playful. She is adorable. She is impatient. She is everything to us. Her Daddy wishes her not to grow up too fast. He wants her to remain his little girl forever.
It is getting increasingly difficult to capture a good shot of her these days because of her increased mobility. She just won't stay still, smile and pose for photos. However, I will still continue to try my very best to post stories and photos of her here, especially for all of you who have followed this blog quite faithfully for the past 13 months. We thank you.

Tessa's Mini Birthday Party
Mommy says: Just realized that I did not post photos of Tessa's first birthday party. We had a mini celebration at Lao Mah's place with just family members. Nevertheless, we all had a good time.
Tessa: I received a big present from Giam Giam Daddy. Mommy wants me to unwrap the present myself. But Mommy, it's just too big for me, can you please do it for me while I play?
... haiz, you guys are taking just too much time. Is it really that difficult?
Tessa: Finally, I get to play with my new toy. Now let me see how to play....
Tessa: I was grouchy when it was time to cut the cake because I was not allowed to touch the toys on the cake! Ah Mah, I don't want to sing the birthday song anymore! I don't want to phooooo and blow the cake. Can I just have the toys on the cake???!!!
Mommy: Despite having a grouchy birthday girl, we all enjoyed the cake very much. The top layer is lychee martini, my favourite, and the bottom layer is triple chocolate - Tessa's and Daddy's favourite.

Tessa at the Farm!
Today, Daddy brought me, Mommy and Ah Mah to Hays Dairies Farm to see the goats.
Oh yes, I look a little "blur blur" because I just woke up from my nap. You see, I slept on the journey here.
The weather is very very warm. But the goats are so cute! There are big goats and small goats. I blew kisses at them.
Mommy, I can't open my eyes. The sun is in my face!
Ahhh... it's much better here. I also get to go closer to the goats. Hello hello, meh meh meh.
No, I didn't drink goat milk at the farm as Mommy is not sure if it's suitable for me. I had Ribena instead. Yummy!!

Our little poo-poo girl
Our poor little Tessa has been having diarrhoea for the past week! The upset tummy has disrupted her sleep and ours too of course.
It is probably due to her new milk formula. Doctor prescribed medicine for her diarrhoea and tummy wind and advised us to refrain from giving her any oily food, just plain porridge or bread will do. Even her milk has to be extremely diluted.
In the end, we have to resort to taking turns for dinner, so that we can take her away from the dining table. Otherwise, she will be yelling "mum mum" at the top of her voice, causing much distress and embarrassment. Last night, we were at the coffeeshop. She insisted that Grandma has to bring her to the next table because she wanted the strangers' drinks. I wonder who she inherited the gluttony trait from.

《天冷就回来》
那天，和老公难得偷得半日闲，把宝宝寄放在妈妈家，两人一同去看了实践剧场的音乐剧《天冷就回来》。
其实，2007年首度公演时，就很想去看但错过了。为了什么原因，现在也记不得了。但就是错过了。想看，是因为梁文福。剧中的歌曲都是梁文福的作品。因为梁文福，所以我想看《天》。
这部剧也的确因为梁文福的歌曲而精彩。因为梁文福，而让我眼睛湿湿的。它让我回想起从前、回想起读书时代、回想起年少轻狂。它让我怀念当年玩音乐、爱新谣。它让我回味当年玩戏剧、爱舞台。
过后，老公给我买了梁文福的《绕梁一世》做母亲节礼物。嘻~~~
我想很多人都和我一样，看《天》是为了他的歌，更多人看了演出后而认识他的歌。
说《天》是梁文福的“个人创作发表会”实不为过，因为他的创作是演出的真正“主角”，其音乐才华淋漓尽致地展现在舞台上。
听着许多熟悉的旋律如《戒情人》《从你回眸那天开始》《最后还是会》，你才恍然惊讶原来这是梁文福的歌曲。看着演出投影的歌词字幕，你也发现原来梁文福歌词文采斐然，绝对不在林夕或方文山之下。
更重要的是，这些歌曲都牵起许多人心中的深处记忆。
《天冷就回来》是实践剧场继《老九》后的最新音乐剧。与《老九》创作方式不同，《天冷就回来》是先有梁文福的歌曲，才有杜国威的剧本。换句话说，《天冷就回来》是用梁文福的歌曲所创作的一部音乐剧。这类音乐剧创作方式虽然罕见，但非首创，一些西方音乐剧如“Mamma Mia”“We Will Rock You”等就是其中几个例子。但这也意味着《天冷就回来》更考究杜国威的编写能力，如何将梁文福歌曲串联成一部音乐剧，歌曲／词的意涵与剧情、角色发展能巧妙交叠。
杜国威向来以“写情”著称，作品总有着浓浓的人情味和隽永情境。在《天冷就回来》中，他以梁文福的情歌，编成许多感人的故事情境，改编精准巧妙。例如他将《陪你看日出》改编成男女主角三人的对唱，以歌曲表达三人之间的感情纠葛。他也将《天冷就回来》改编成一个漂泊游子的吟唱，叙说他对家乡的思念。
看过、听过之后，果然应验了梁文福的：“绕梁三日”仍不够，一生一世情悠悠。

Happy Mother's Day ~ A Day at the Reservoir!
Daddy & Mommy brought me to the Upper Seletar Reservoir today for a nice stroll. The weather's good and the scenery is excellent.
We had a leisure stroll by the reservoir. After that I played see-saw at the playground with Daddy & Mommy! It was so fun!
Today is Mother's Day. It is also Ah Gong's birthday. So tonight we are going out for a feast to celebrate the 2 important occasions. Daddy bought Mommy this CD set for Mother's Day and they started playing the songs in the car. I don't know any of the songs.
Can I have my baby CD please??

Meeting Meimei for the first time
I just met mei-mei for the first time! My mei-mei's name is Ong Shi Han. Mommy said it's just as poetic as mine.
She is small and sleepy. She's sleeping under this light. Mommy said it's because mei-mei has jaundice and needs to be placed under the bililight. She said when I was as small as mei-mei, I was also placed under this light. Well, I can't remember a thing about that.
Daddy allowed me to sayang mei-mei lightly. Woo, I feel so grown-up.
I tried to wake her up by calling out to her, but was scolded instead for being noisy. Mommy, why doesn't mei-mei wake up and play with me?
