Food

I wouldn't say Eliza's a picky eater, neither is she a great eater either. She'll eat her favorite foods but most of them aren't like staples. She'll eat her rice or noodles, veg an meats but depending on how they are cooked though.

Here is the list of foods she won't eat
- pancakes
- mashed potatoes
- burgers
- longan
- spicy or minty food


Foods that she'll eat depending on her mood and how hungry she is
- bread. Though chocolates on the bread will get eaten
- crunchy veg like snap peas, cabbage, dou4 ya2. Though she does love the stir fried leafy veg my mil cooks, even the stems which I don't like
- chicken nuggets
- biscuits. She'll eat cookies though, esp chocolate cookies

Foods she'll definitely eat
- rasins
- beans, peanuts
- crackers
- French fries
- sweet and sour pork/ fish/ chicken
- chocolates

She picks on fruits though, some fruits are probably a lil too exotic or not common enough for her to take a liking. So mangos, lychee, persimmon, longan, papaya aren't fruits she'll take much liking to. She loves strawberries, cherries, grapes, watermelon, yellow kiwi, oranges, blueberries. And ahhh...glad to say that she likes durian too!

La la lu

It's a song i heard since in was young but didn't quite remember it until recently. It's actually a song from the cartoon movie "Lady and the tramp" which i would watch over and over again on when i was a kid. Still i didn't quite remember that it was a song from that movie, maybe it didn't sound as angelic in the movie than when i heard it later on. It was also a song in the Yamaha JMC course cd that my sis had and about a yr ago i dug it out and started playing at home for Eliza cos of the nice tunes and songs like "It's a small world" etc. Somehow this particular song did get stuck in my mind when i heard it and i began singing it to Eliza. Only problem was, the only lyrics i remembered from this song was 'la la lu'.

Finally, after another request from eliza to sing this song today, i got down to find the lyrics of this song...pretty :)

La la lu, La la lu
Oh, my little star sweeper
I'll sweep the stardust for you

La la lu, La la lu
Little soft fluffy sleeper
Here comes a pink cloud for you

La la lu, La la lu
Little wandering angel
Fold up your wings close your eyes

La la lu, La la lu
And may love be your keeper
La la lu, La la lu, La la lu

you can also listen to it at youtube

I don't remember much lullabys frm my very young age...but i remember the lullaby my mum would play for my sis when she was a baby, it's those tunes that get stuck in our heads. Even my sis had fond memories of those songs. I still have the lyric book for that album but somehow can't find those beautiful songs anymore, it's a cassette tape..and i guess that tape has gotten misplaced or got moldy. Would love to find the cd version of it one day.

Good night baby eliza

Eliza dons the baby receiving blanket's hood over her head.
Eliza : mummy, say "good night baby"
Me (disgruntedly cos she always talks so much b4 she sleeps that I try not to respond too much, else she can't sleep): good night baby
E: ok thank you mummy, thank you mummy
And plops onto her bed to sleep.
