The Photos

Most shots are from Pixel Exposures, and several from Azman Hizam Photography. Enjoy!

 

 

p.s. Someone commented I looked a little too ‘blue’ and not stripey enough. My bad. I forgot to plan in advanced what to wear, until I realized what I should be wearing were still in the laundry basket! *grins*

The Other One

Just to make known that I do have another blog hosted on blogspot, just because previously Mr Hubs can’t view wordpress from his office.

The posts does not start as early as this one does, but it’s up-to-date of course! So go on there if you prefer blogspot!

p.s. Another reason is because the free version of wordpress does not allow nuffnang ads! Menyesal pulak tukar to wordpress

The Language

Turning 4, the biggest milestone the boy has achieved so far is definitely the language. Being able to speak Bahasa Melayu (eventhough it sounds a bit weird most of the time – from depending too much on the translation of Cartoon Network!) he approaches most strangers now assuming they’d definitely understand BM than English.

The other night, while waiting for my turn at the hospital for a routine checkup, we heard him talking to a parent of a boy (at the play area) :

My Mak and Pak is over there…

And some time just before that night, he spoke to a sales person :

Itu Mama saya. Babah saya pergi Kuching.

I think the latter sounds so much better than the first! The usage of ‘Mak’ is ok, but ‘Pak’? I’d prefer it to be ‘My Mak and Bapak’, eventhough it still sounds funny since he doesn’t call us those except in one of his pretend plays!

I really need to record one of his conversations before it doesn’t sound so funny anymore…

 

 

p.s. I don’t like the fact that the translations for the cartoons sometimes uses the words ‘dungu’, ‘bangang’, ‘mangkuk’, ‘bodoh’ and such! Obviously the main viewers for the cartoons are children?!
