Dear Qinzhi
18months was a month full of surprises, for both qinzhi, daddy n mummy n all at ah hui yiyi’s home
it was a month where u cried n laughed n learned n grew
it was here u opened ur mouth like a big O n said wa…….as inspired by a song in an apps in ipod touch
mummy n daddy brought u to the botanic gardens again n u would sit on the bench n waved hello to passer bys , each time lighting up all our faces
it was when u knew how to用一双小手帮我们摧背 n u learned to walk like an adult with both hands behind
it was also here that i learned to share your excitement and discovery, wowing with u as u peered into this little corner of the room every nite
n u were really generous with your hugs n kisses, it was a vital dose of pure energy each time u did it
n u always pointed to mummy’s clothes behind the door. u knew my bra and would rush to get popo to carry u to soak my clothes each nite after i changed out of pyjamas
it was the time when u learned to feed yourself with a spoon n u were generous with sharing wat u had, all of us around u would get water u drink
n u were so good at blowing bubbles, they came out round and full, with the magical colours, never failing to inspire
it was the first time ah tin yiyi tied your hair n after that when u heard “tie hair”, u would put both hands at the back of your head,trying to grasp for hair
and u appreciated books alot, you could hold them the right side up and would listen as u drink milk milk, u could point out almost all the little things in the book….robot, orange, lemon, yoyo, t shirt, watch, arrow, candy, milk, pig,dragon …….never failing to amaze
we took u to a child gym for the first time n u loved it, u were active enough to venture into a class
so brave
n u could hold the milk bottle urself, making mummy so proud!
n we visited mummy’s fren at duxton, qinzhi tried the straw and learned about sucking water
n u were really gd at listening to us, when daddy ask u to lean against the cupboard for photos, u juz did
when u shat, popo would always hug u fr behind, giving u the extra push whenever needed
n u would ask us all to cover nose nose, as u did
would u still remember popo bathed u?
it was fr day one
do u still remember how it feels like to b bathed by her? to sit on her lap? to b carried in her arms?
n after bathing, popo would chase after u to dry your ears
normally 公公would b here, n la leng or caress your stomach, n u would snatch his specs or look for money in his pocket
n it was a time where u bonded with ah boon jiujiu
on national day, he would carry u out to the corridor, n play with the flags
it was also here that u showed u loved the see saw n popo n yiyi would always allow u their legs, no matter how tired
i always loved your poses
u found your favorite spot on the bed, every nite, u would b here after u put on pampers, then u would flash the mega watt smile as ah hui yiyi called u, 叶小姐、格格、princess
dear qinzhi, may u b well n happy every moment, just like now
