My "Cucus"

As most of u know dat I'm a 'por por' (grandmother), I would very much like to 'show off' my 'grandcucus' (grandchildren). Gosh, the word 'grandmother', makes me sound so old but I'm so proud of my grandcucus.

Elyss has her own blog but it has been collecting cobwebs *sigh* so I might as well do some updates on her cutie pie princesses for her cos I 'tak boleh tahan lagi' (cannot bear any longer).

Charlett is my elder 'cucu' and she's such a darling to everyone especially to her 'mah mah' (paternal grandma) and 'yeh yeh' (paternal grandpa), an apple to their eyes to be exact. She's 3+ (going to be 4 this October) and speaks English most of the time. She's learning the Chinese language now and when asked in Mandarin, she'll answer with a funny (English mixed with Chinese) accent. She learns and 'absorbs' very fast. Tell her a story, she'll remember and will be able to tell u by starting "Once upon a time, long long ago ........." Princess is what she loves to address herself. She even have an imaginary friend and when asked where her imaginary friend is now, she would reply "she lives in a far far away land and u need to sit in an aeroplane to go and see her". Isn't dat cute of her? Charlett and her "yi yi" (auntie) are the best of friends.

Isn't Charlett a sweet little girl?

And recently I was promoted again with the arrival of Charmaine, the younger daughter of Elyss. Charmaine arrived a day before Dinah's Aidan – 7th May, 2007. She was supposed to come out on the 24th May which would have coincided with 'Kung Kung's' (Pappy) birth date but guess little Charmaine was too eager to see the world!

This little bb is so different from Charlett – she's fairer; her hair is golden whereas Charlett's is black; she looks boyish and most of all she's so much 'noisier' than Charlett. She'll cry her lungs out for milk. The next door neighbours didn't even know there was a baby around when Charlett was born but the neighbours from the nearby streets will know when Charmaine screamed! (my exaggeration, heehee). Worst of all, she likes to be 'cradled' to sleep by whoever carries her. Once u put her down, she'll immediately 'ngi ngi ngek ngek' and when not attended, be prepared to hear her wails! Ha, dat reminded me of Elyss when she was baby. I was telling Elyss, "Good, good, Charmaine's here to take revenge for her 'por por'". Hohoho! (soli soli Elyss, just could not help myself to 'bocor' (leak) this secret.

Isn't she adorable? She does look like a boy, doesn't she?

And this is their "Yi Yi" (Auntie):
