Yang Yang shoe

by Ida Khoo @ Jwo Yi’s mummy
Guess what kind of shoes did you get Jwo?

Yang Yang shoe - hand painted

I'm thinking of getting you a nice pair of shoe for the summer instead of wearing only the corcs shoes. We were walking at Zhongsan Park metro shops and I saw this hand painted shoes and I'm thinking of getting you one pair. I'm thinking of getting you the hand painted girl face or the animal design. End up you pick the yang yang design. I like it too. As soon as daddy said can buy you put it on and daddy paid for it and off you go wearing the new pair of yang yang shoe.

I don't know where you learn how to draw the alien but the attached is your alien drawing. I find it cute. With lots of eyes and legs. And do you know what you call the baby alien? You call it Chor Chor. Funny!!!!

Star Kids Land at Imago

by Ida Khoo @ Jwo Yi’s mummy
When we just got here there is nothing much around our housing area. But on 6th June 2010 there is a new shopping center open near our apartment. It's 15mins to 20mins walking distance. The shopping center is called Imago.

How did we find it? This have to thank you Jwo. You were looking for pets. So daddy ask around and they said there is a place also near our housing area around Caoyang Lu. Then we found that place and we explore around that area and found the shopping center.

In Imago there is a indoor playground / fun park for kids to play. Daddy get you the package of 5 entry for RMB150. You were so happy.

Shanghai Zoo

by Ida Khoo @ Jwo Yi’s mummy
We take you to the zoo on the 1st May 2010. This is your first time to a zoo. I'm so excited. What I wanted to see most is the panda. We are very lucky because due to Shanghai World Expo 2010 they move six female and four male pandas from the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve Center in Sichuan  to spend six months at the Shanghai Zoo.

The weather is just right for us to walk around. Not too cold and not too hot. We just manage to look at a few animals as it's getting crowded with people in the afternoon. So end up we just manage to look at Outdoor Carnivore Islands, Carnivore Boardwalk, Panda House and Bear Pits, Big Cat Enclosures, Herbivore Paddocks, Kangaroo Lawn, Monkey Houses and Ape Islands and Gorilla Pavilion. Out of 29 lists of animals in Shanghai Zoo we only look at eight.

Don't worry we'll be going again soon I promise. This time we'll finish looking at the rest that we miss out.

Chinese New Year at Shanghai

by Ida Khoo @ Jwo Yi’s mummy

2010 Chinese New Year in Shanghai is totally different for us. We did not go back to Penang for Chinese New Year. On the eve of CNY your daddy invite one of his colleague over to eat together. He and his wife were her at our house for steamboat. Then when night came you went to bed.

I think it start at around 9:00pm, the firework went off and it's so beautiful. Totally different from Penang. Then as the night goes on the firework is off non stop until pass mid-night. The surprising part is that you sleep like a pig. The fireworks is very loud but you sleep  through the night without waking up at all. And me cannot sleep at all because I find it too noisy.

I truly enjoy the firework at first but as the night goes on I find it too noisy and the air is totally polluted with the firework's smoke. Too bad I don't seems to be able to load the video here.

Origami

I think Jwo is too bored today. After dinner you were watching TV and nothing interesting. So you suddenly come to me and ask me to take a piece of paper and fold something for you. So I said okay and it sounds like fun to me. I search the web and found an interesting site.

Big white frog, white rabbit, yellow ladybird, On Minnie head is the Samurai Hat, yellow flower, small pink frog, yellow sampan and yellow green cube.

Jwo Yi's life Part 2

by Ida Khoo @ Jwo Yi’s mummy

Part 2  is about we move to Shanghai. We move to Shanghai on the 17th Jan 2010. When we first came we stay at Renaissance Shanghai Zhongsan Park Hotel (No. 1018 Changning Road,,Changning District Shanghai, Shanghai 200042 Chin)

 

 After the first week you were sick. Down with fever. I'm so worry as this is your first time at a winter environment. But luckily after taking medicine you are all right. It's such a big change for you in lots of ways. 

 

One is the weather You are not use to winter clothing. You need to wear long-johns inside then only your long sleeve and long pants. Then when we go out you need to wear coat and scarf. Then because it's winter you need to apply body cream so that your skin is not too dry. After few weeks your leg looks so ugly because your skin dry until it crack. Gosh am I worry for you. But the most happiest for you is you bath only once per day. But when the time come for you to bath you'll cry as it's cold.

 

The second one is the food. You don't seems to like to eat the food here when we first get here. And as we stay in the hotel we eat out most of the time. You only like the spinach noodle or the fried fish in soy sauce with rice and you just eat the rice with the soy sauce and not the fish.  I worry for you too as you don't eat much. But all that changes when we move in to the rented  house as I cook everyday for you and you eat like normal again.

 

The third one is language problem. When we first enroll you in the new kindergarten  called Happy Valley Bilingual Kindergarten I'm a bit worry as the teachers there are local. And  they speak Mandarin in the class and you are not use to listen to Chinese at all. As most of your class in Penang is in English. But the head mistress said no problem you'll manage in no time. When I talk to the teaches in your class , it seems like they don't speak English. So I just teach you how to say  "Teacher I want to go pee" but this is another headache. You doesn't know how to squad down to pee. And you'll just cry when the teacher ask you to pee. You'll just hold until we get home and pee on the floor as you cannot hold any longer. I'm so mad at you and end up I have to ask your teacher to let you use potty.

 

I hope there won't be any more changes for you.

But that is just a hope that is not going to happen because we'll move back to Penang one day and that one day is ???????.

 

So Jwo there will be another change in the near future but I don't know when yet.

So we'll see and we'll change and adapt when the time come.
