My favourite shoot of zihan.
Ziyi was very uncooperative during the shoot. Unlike usually she would pose when I took out my camera. She was running around the studio playing with the toys. Ziyi also insisted that I put lipstick on her lips after seeing my lips in red. She knew because I never put on any makeup or lipstick whenever we went out. But seeing her phopho or other aunties did their make up, she was very well aware of the steps.
I was only applied some lipstick on her lips, but she was asking for some red powder to put on her cheek, her eyebrow, and her eyelid. I need to pretend to put all those for her to prevent her from throwing tantrums.
So all the outcome of ziyi's photos were very still and open mouth because of the lipstick.
Our family shoot with mil. I didn't managed to get fil to the scene because he was too busy.. hehe.. Lucky enough to have mil in the shoot, because she is also a reluctant type to do this type of studio photo shooting things....
Then we proceeded to Rasa Sayang Resort for our dinner... with 2 kids. To be honest, it wasn't a very pleasant dining experience with my 2 girls. I made the point that we are to spend on quality food at least once a year. Well, my birthday, ziyi birthday, our anniversary, and zihan birthday all fell in 3 consecutive months. I think we deserved a big dinner in between..
Zihan was not very cooperative since the beginning, unlike usual. I thought I would make it smoothly at out entire dining experience. Zihan usually very tham ciak and greedy girl who would sit quietly during our entire meal. But just for that day, she refuses half of the food i offered.
I even need to take our hubby's phone to entertain her, but didn't catch her attention for very long, even get a soft reminder from the waiter for the loud noises.... So I quickly swallow the beef steak and forgot about the taste...
But the free chocolate at the end was nice, ziyi ate 2 pieces. And the waiter immediately gave us another plate. But we were too full to eat. So sayang, should have tapao and slowly eat at home, considering it was such an expensive meal for the night...
But one unenjoyable experience is still one memory to remember. 
We have a short walk to Gurney plaza afterwards. I like this post of father and daughter from the back holding hand in hand....
Our family shoot.... with zihan in the state of almost sleeping.... and ziyi at the edge of throwing tantrums.... luckily it all went fine....

@ 2 years 11 months, ziyi is an active girl, is not shy with strangers, and tend to be aggressive with kids about her age or smaller. She likes to tell them what to do or do things for them which sometimes could be a little harsh for smaller children, although she meant no harm, just being helpful. She likes the companies of older children and would try to be friendly with them.
Ziyi knows how to button and wear her own shirts and pants. Everytime after her bath, I'll choose the a set of clothes that she is going to wear, and leave her alone to wear them. Sometimes she would open the drawer and chooses and wears her own clothes. Ziyi is also getting better @ wearing her own socks and shoes. Only sometimes she would mixed up the left and right sides.
When ziyi was mad about swimming, she would play with her swimming costumes and put them on.
She knows that I would get angry with her wearing swimming costumes inside the house, so, she wore them inside the long pants. But still, she cannot get away with her tricks... haha
Couldn't sit still anymore when we dine outside, and I need to spoonfed her half way through while she ran around. I just need to be very patient with her during outing, and prepared myself not to loose my temper... I believe it is a phase that some children went through before they are able to sit nicely and eat by themselves.
She enjoys reading very much, as well as doing some art activities together like hand painting, playing clay, etc...
Her current favourite words, ALREADY, MYSELF, FIRST. "Ziyi finished already", "Ziyi have a little bit chocolate first, then eat rice", "Ziyi wash myself", "Ziyi do it myself", "Ma... ziyi eat already".
Likes lollipop, but usually throw them away half way through. She prefer salty tidbits, like the preserved plums and those kinds of salty ones that make us salivating just by the thought of it.
Ziyi yet have to learn what is called QUEUE UP. She was just making her way to the very front while other kids was waiting in the line for their turn for the car train @ Genting Theme park. 
First experience riding on a bus for 6 hours, from Penang to Genting. She is quite good, and went down to the toilet with us on every stops. I would say she is 95% accident free.... except for one time.... It happened @ the indoor theme part @ Genting Highland, when she had too much drink and was too excited with the rides that she didn't bother or forgot to indicate she needed to pee. The next day, I was bringing her to the toilet every now and then..... .jpg)
I think she likes all sort of pets and loves to touch and play with them, especially dogs. It was somebody's dog from the neighbourhood that she was happily playing with.
She was so happy and excited that she could carry them around....
She even stopped for quite a while at this particular stand that sold toy dogs with string attached on their neck... touching and playing with them... I didn't buy her one... because I prefer toys without batteries operated one.
She also likes bird, and was playing with that particular bird for quite a while @ the outdoor theme park @ Genting. 
The lady kept moving the bird from ziyi's hand to her head, and then hands again, and she seemed to enjoy it so much that she was reluctant to leave the place.
These are my recent brought books on how to be a good child. There are short pictures stories in the content which is pretty self explanatory.
