2004 new year's eve

I'm on my way to some uncle's wedding... it's a cold winter night and the forecast said it's gonna be one of the coldest.... mom dressed me up like i'm heading off to south pole...

Christmas presents

I just don't understand... it's that great guy's birthday, how come I get all the pressies?

Jack without a box

I don't know why SHE has to dress me up like this! SHE said i'm "cute" but I think I look ridiculous.... when can i pick my own packaging? oh.. I mean clothes...

It tastes ... GREAT!!

It's cold, colder than anything I tasted before, but it actually is quite sweet and nice.... mom, can i have some more?

Christmas on earth

They said some great guy arrived planet earth more than 2000 cycles ago, that's why everyone is celebrating His birthday!

Yummy!

Mama gets more generous these days, she'll let me try taking from more variety.

Wrestling with Horace

After my experience with pooh, I found wrestling with a human is more fun. Actually Horace is enjoying it too! (tho gran is not too pleased!)

Wrestling with pooh

It's fun & rolling around helps me practise using my body parts.

Virus attacks again

I was being attacked again! This time the invader seemed a lot stronger-- my body was heated up to fight the war. My mom was so worried -- she didn't understand that I have to be kept that heated up to fight.....

New tools emerge

No wonder I cannot take solid food, I didn't arrive with all the required tools pre-installed! These two little things start breaking out from my mouth - mama & papa are so excited -- they said that I can eat soon!

My Playground

My mom believes that I can learn new skills from rolling and moving and lying and playing by myself on these colourful mats with some colourful gadgets around.

Testing my grabber

Although it's not a new skill but it's a skill needs continual improvement. Seems like the five little extentions all have different function when it comes in working.

My coursin duo

These are my cousins. They love playing with me and I love biting them and tearing their hair

Enhancement of my motor skill

The control of the muscle on my leg has been greatly improved lately, I can stand with a little help.... tho' it still needs many exercise so that I can change from sitting position to standing.....

Cool looking photo

My ma & pa enjoy taking pictoral record of my growth. This one has been done with some special effect and mom likes it a lot --- I think I actully look quite qooooooo

My first driving experience

Though it is not a real motor vechicle, it's quite a cool experience to be driving...... well, I'm a male species afterall.....

Source of energy

Seems like people here consume all sort of different things to produce energy for their daily activities. Plants are one of the source and I'm just testing its texture by my mouth -- this one is called brocolli, and it actully tastes quite good!

Special liquid weapon

At first I thought it was a defect, but it turns out to be a special tool to get whatever I want. I noticed for a long time already, when I tried to call for assistant (using the top of my voice) or when I was angry with their service, some liquid will seep from this viewing device of mine (named: eyes). Everytime it happens, people come running and I get what I want immediately. This is a good tool and I shall use it more often.

Self entertaining

Sometimes when I'm awake and they have other things to do, they will put me on this seat and buckle me up and let me sit in front of the window. I'll normally stare at the cloud for a while and ponder about life, the universe, etc...... I usually enjoy this quiet time but if this quiet time takes too long, I'll start yelling again.

My physical training equipment

Since now I have a better control on my back, they sometimes let me sit in this round thing. It is a good place though, I can exercise my leg by hopping up and down and exercise my fingering skills -- there are a lot of gadgets around, I can spend days exploring them.....

My buddy no.2

His name is sailo (little brother) or biugoh (older cousin) and he has been here for almost 2 cycles already. He has learnt most of the motor skills of his body already although he is still a bit dodgy sometime. His verbal skill is pathetic -- my mama has a hard time understanding him. He always keeps an eye on me, if I called for help and no one was around, he will always find someone for me. I can tell that he likes me a lot, but I'm just too tempting that he bit my leg and toes sometime.

Introducing solid

Mama said that since I've arrived here for 5 months already, I can start eating something new. I noticed for quite sometime already that they eat from many different shapes and colours and form, but I only get this white liquid. It is not fair. Mama gave me a more solid form of food -- just a bit less liquidy than what I usually take. Rather weak I must say.... well, that's a start. I hope I can eat all those nice smelling stuff on the dining table soon.

New Skill Acquired - Part II

I'm rolling over!
Things look different from this angle!

New Skills Acquired - Part I

I made some "haha" sound today in respond to this papa fella's funny face. He went nuts when I first made the sound and he kept telling mama I could "play" with him. Since he liked it so much, when he made that funny face again, I went "hahaha" again. I think the look on their faces are so much more entertaining than my "hahaha" sound.

Coughing out the sticking substance

After a few days of sweet liquid (medicine they call it), the virus reduced to only affecting my bronchitis.
However, it creates some very sticky and annoying substance deep in my throat. It will come out sometimes when I cough. To help me cough it up, my grandaunt turned my upside down and kept patting my back. I was so annoyed but they insisted on doing it. Well, it sure felt better afterwards.

Viral Infection -- they call it "sick"

My cousin Jaime has so generously passed a virus to me lately by coughing right at my face. The virus tries to attack my body and of course I fight back. I feel a bit tired and dizzy and my temperature increases due to too much fighting. Mama noticed my being heated up when she held me yesterday. She took me to see an expert on this sort of virus wars - she called him "doctor". This doctor gave me some sweet liquid which tasted horrible. And mama coerces me to drink it every couple of hours.

This is my buddy

This is my buddy - greatgranny - she's always around when I call for help or yell for some company. She told me she arrived planet earth 84 cycles ago (1 cycle = planet earth goes around sun one time).

a "NO" from me

I start to learn the goodness of the "NO" word. This cousin of mine (horrible horace) tried to do funny things to me all the time. One time he tried to touch me with his drooling mouth - NO WAY! I tried to say no but I have not fully grasped my speaking skills yet -- I finally managed to push him away instead.

Big NO NO [Part II]

Actually I am not the one who gets all the "No"s and "Don't"s. There's this little fellow (he's always around and they said he's my "cousin") who get's most of the attention. I can tell that he's doing some exploration and experiment -- only if I can walk too, I'd do the same! And whatever he does, someone will come out and say "NO!" One time he put the container of urine and feces on his head as a hat, just to bug the adults I guess.

Big NO NO

Human is a species on this planet which loves to tell their youngs NOT to do somethings. Everyday, I am always told: don't cry, don't be naughty, don't sleep while eating, don't suck your thumb, don't rub your face, don't.......

H2O treatment

There's this wonderful element - H2O - in this planet, which has some cleansing and soothing effect.
I get to be soaked in it everyday and I enjoy it very much.

Papa's big belly

This "papa" guy is quite funny. He likes to make big noises and pretend to be serious, as if I'd be afraid. He always tells me not to bully mama (I was only "telling" her that I want to eat/loo/poo/sleep). I really enjoy his soft round big belly, which makes me a good bed -- it makes some soothing "gulu..gulu..." sound too.

It's been a hard day

My daily jobs: sleeping, crying, eating, burping, sleeping, peeing, pooing (optional), crying, eating, sleeping, sleeping.....
I get tired very easily, trying to survive here is a very tiring job.

My arrival announcement

Details upon my arrival

On arrival

I finally arrived Planet Earth at 1937 hours on 4321 (04y-03m-21d). The trip was a bit rough and the delivery personnel (she said her name's mama) seemed to have had a hard time too. Once I was here, they confined me to a rectangular basin disregarding my protest. I haven't quite got the hang of their language yet, so I was using the best of my voice to communicate, but they do not seem to understand. When I made too much noise, they tried to stop me by giving me some fluid. I can't say that that was not satisfying. The fluid seemed to have some sedating effect, I will usually doze off for a while after each intake. Unfortunately, there seems to be some defects on this body that I landed with. Every couple hours or so there will be some leakage, sometimes in liquid form and sometimes solid.....
Anyway, this is how I look on arrival:
