Ooo-Jaa

Ooo-Jaa is the cutish sound we make which tickles our little baby. We enjoy making that silly sound, enjoy making that wide-mouth and silly face, enjoy the togetherness and enjoy the laughter. Ooo-jaa reflects my life's simple pleasures and a little snippet of my life.

My last day at infant care

Today is my last day at Whispering Hearts Infant and Child Care Centre. Papa and mummy have been sending me there every morning and picking me up in the evening for the past 3 months. After today, my Ah Ma will be looking after me at home. Everyone is really excited, and no more heartache for mummy already.


The place where I was cared for since I was 3 months old

The passageway which my papa, mummy and me walked everyday towards the centre

My favourite teacher Amy and me

That's Emmanuel kor kor, my mummy's favourite boy at the centre. He is 16 months old and sooooo charming and friendly.

A Day at the Pool

Let me recount the 'not-so-exciting' day at the pool


8:00am - Papa and mummy work up and get me ready, all excited. Fed me, packed things and got the baby float ready
8:45am - Set off to Bukit Batok CSC
8:50am - I fell asleep in the car (its about time for my morning nap)
9:00am - Reach CSC. Papa and mummy just realise that the pool won't be open until 10am. (Btw, I am still sleeping). Papa and mummy decided to go Westmall to have breakfast since I'm still sleeping.
9:15am - Reach Westmall where papa and mummy will have breakfast. Somehow, I woke up. (So slept only 15 mins)
10:00am - Went back to CSC. Mummy changed me into my little yellow swimming costume
10:05am - Went to the baby pool. Took pictures. Papa and and mummy tried to put me in my baby float. I don't like it and cried. Papa took me out, tried again, and I cried again.
10:10am - Papa gave up and deflated the float. Mummy just carry me and sit at the baby pool to play with the water, while papa tried to catch a swim.

10:20am - Ten minutes of water playing, I started to yawn. (You see, I did not really have a good morning nap, and its passed my morning nap time already)
10:30am - Papa and mummy packed up and mummy brought me to the bathroom and bathed with me.
10:45am - All settled and left for home.


The end of a not-so eventful first experience at the pool

11:00am - Reached home, drank my milk milk and slept the whole afternoon


Lesson learned: Do not attempt to bring me out until I have a good morning nap. Otherwise, I will be tired, not want to try new things and begin to yawn pretty soon. Oh, papa and mummy, please also remember to check the opening hours of the place we are going to.


The end.
