Reflections Continue...

Mummy has been meeting up with different friends over the last few days that we have been back in Singapore. Through their conversations, it then became obvious to Mummy that a lot of people are not totally informed of what's the inside causing the entire milk scandal... The banned list is growing longer and longer on a daily basis and Mummy just wonders how would one ever remember what product of what brand is banned. They will probably avoid that brand totally. Friends tell mummy that they are now avoiding all made in China items, including vegetables, milk, clothes etc... Mummy's totally astonished... It's not that Mummy is siding with China on this issue (adding such artificial content is definitely incorrect), but she does think that it is not possible to avoid everything made in China given that China is such a huge agricultural and manufacturing country. And of course, us having reside there, we can't avoid the "Made in China" stuff at all. So Mummy's key is always "consume in moderation". Of course, it's different for babies, given that they are still developing and their tolerance level is much much lower (that explains why Mummy is stocking up for me).

As to friends who do not understand the milk scandal issue, Mummy thinks that she should explain this on my blog, so that at least her friends understand what's going on.

Why melamine is added
Melamine has been added to the milk as the milk suppliers (who are trying to earn better profits) diluted the milk with water. Melamine contains nitrogen levels that can falsely increase the protein content of the milk. The melamine content is probably not detected by the brands when they purchased milk from these suppliers as this content should not be present in the milk itself. It is artificially added without the brands' knowledge.

Do not panic...
Here's a quote from an article published in the EU that Mummy has read on the website "Even if present in foods in Europe, milk powder contaminated with melamine is not likely to cause the kind of public health disaster that is occurring among Chinese infants. Because the harm caused by melamine is related to someone's weight, it is far less harmful to older children and not likely to be dangerous for adults. Also, for children and adults in Europe, melamine-contaminated milk powder is one small component of a broader diet." In SanL*'s case, it was because the milk suppliers added way too much melamine and this has caused the deaths and casualties we have been seeing in the news."

My 1st Adventure at Sentosa Tanjong Beach...

Mummy decided to let me have my 1st encounter with the sun, the sand and the water (ie the beach) today. So after our studio shoot session, we went to Sentosa. The skies were pretty gloomy. Lucky, it eventually cleared off... It's strange, I hated the sand. So when Mummy put me on the sand, I just sat there and don't dare to move, not even lift my hands to touch the sand. But I love the beach water... And kept slapping my hands on the water...

My Studio Shoot...

Mummy has been wanting to do a studio shoot for me for a long time... Here are some masterpieces Mummy took with me... Please check in at Mummy's facebook or the slide show right at the bottom of this blog for the complete collection of my shots today...














Here's my family shot (except that Daddy couldn't be back for this...) Next time ok???

Finally, my solo shots... Which do you like best???

Pig Mama and Her 2 Little Piglets...

姨姨 gave me her Piglet Bolster, that has a very nice little piglet face... So Mummy decided to cuddle us to sleep...

An Adventure at Church...

It's been a long time since Mummy's church friends last saw Mummy and me, of course... So Mummy decided to pop by and visit them at Discovery Land with me today... It happened that it was their annual Children's Day event "Wow Wow Wild" today. Uncle Randy (who insisted that he should be called Randy Gor Gor instead even though he was older than Mummy... Haha...) gave me his hat, that has many strange colourful "antenna" on it...

I can't decide which hat I want, so let me try out both....

Which do I look better in??? The colourful stripey one or the silver one with colour antenna??

Here's one taken with Randy "Gor Gor"... They all say he looks as if he is ready for his own... Doesn't he look fatherly??? Hahaha...

My "Landing"

As I have fell from Mummy's bed 2 times now (in fact, both times I fell down from different sides of the bed), Mummy and I had to sleep on the floor, now that we are back in Singapore. But I am still doing my somersaults in my dream. This is where I landed when I woke up this morning... I have landed outside the mattress I was sleeping on... Amazing...

My Friend cum "Cousin", Harold...

Harold is Mummy's cousin's baby... He is 4.5 months younger than me... So he has to call me Gor Gor... Hahaha... It's strange how I acted so jealous when Mummy tried to carry Harold. I immediately crawl towards her and wanted her to carry me instead... Here's me and my "cousin" Harold...

It's Stocking Up Time... For My Food...

Due to the recent milk scandal in China, it became more apparent to Mummy and Daddy that they need to stock up food supplies for me from Singapore. After all, we need to trust Singapore's food quality checks done by AVA... I guess that's one thing good about Singapore, it's SAFE...

The latest news as of today, the authorities found the banned melamine content in Hein* brand of baby cereal made in China. Luckily Mummy has decided to stock up my cereal from Singapore going forward...

Adventure at the Playground...

As part of the upgrading plan at 婆婆's place, there was a very nice playground built. It replaced the old playground that Mummy grew up playing at (the old type of playground with sand and merry go round).
