AFTER the TRIP
The day after back from the trip (fri), cece started to have fever, and because of strange cough during the night on sunday night (monday mid night), we went to ER with him. Then marco also started coughing and i also got a running nose today. This is family!
And me and cece is home alone from today till Monday afternoon. Don't want to write much but want to write down something funny.
It was last sat (Nov 14) when Marco playing ps3 in the bedroom while Cece accompany me playing puzzle in the sitting room. Then cece found out an old joystick of playstation and said he wants to play too. And we have the following conversation:
Cece: 車邪玩 (holding the joystick in hand)
Mammy: Mammy唔識喎﹐你去問爸爸 (the truth is to send him away...so i can keep playing puzzle)
cece went into the bedroom holding the joystick.....
Cece: Non si puo' (唔得)
Papi: ................................(i couldn't hear what papi said to cece)
cece walked back to the sitting room....
Mammy: 爸爸講咩嘢呀﹖
Cece: 爸爸講英文。
where we went for holiday is near germany (even is still in italy), and people there talk more german than italian. So when cece heard people talking dutch, he will tells 講英文.

ENJOY the EVENING ALONE
Tonight Marco went to play go kart after work and cece just sleeping at 7:43pm (the time i back to my room), so both me and Marco can enjoy our evening. The feeling of listening to HK night radio while surfing the internet in the dark room (no light on but only pc light) is good. I think if i need to play with cece alone tonight while Marco went to play maybe i will feel less enjoy. Cece is so good went to bed so early is only because he didn't take nap today. He (we) woke up at 10am this morning and i just knew he got a big chance won't take nap in the afternoon, so i have prepared dinner earlier so can put him to sleep early.
In the past few nights, cece really went to bed late, most of the time when i get back to my own room, is already near mid night. He is not willing to sleep till around 1030pm then after still need to turn around around in the bed for over an hour. And he don't let me go down from his bed b4 he sleeping. Yes, he still need mammy milk for sleep and need me accompany him in his bed till he fall asleep. He still calls me at least one time during the sleep, so i go to accompany him again and sometimes i also fall asleep in his bed and make me feel painful sleeping in such a small bed when i woke up. I won't sleep till the other morning but sometimes can sleep like 2 hours there. And sometimes when i try to back to my room, cece will ask me to lay down and stay there...then i will tell him i need to go to toilet and he will tell he wait for me...but sure he will just continues sleep once i left. Since he went to bed so late, alot of time when i back to our room, Marco just sleeping already. The saying talking about after being a mom, "there are alot of moments you will feel lonely, but you are never alone" is so real.

SMELL of BIRTHDAY
Last night Marco has told me the "surprise" of where we are going for birthday, i just can't wait! Marco chosen to tell me instead of wait till i see it with my eyes is because he thinks maybe i need to prepare something for bring there. I asked if the place we are going will have something suitable for cesare, and Marco said, "more than something". We are going here
When i opened that page, i keep wa wa wa......i feel is like we are going to a palace! Thank you soooo much Marco, we really need a relaxing holiday.
Then this morning, i went to the park near the swimming pool with cece. Since today is friday and marco won't be back for lunch, so i no need to rush back for make lunch. We left home at 10 and back home at 1230. After playground time, i got a present for myself!!
When we saw it on the way to the playground, i already want to buy....but then i think i better think clear...then on our way home, was cece told go to buy the bag, yes, i didn't lie, he did remember i told after played we can buy. And i have asked cece's opition, he also said the bag is nice, hehee. Since the shop selling this bag is a toy shop, so i let Cece pick a toy too. He can't choose between the plastic horse or sheep, so he took both to pay and told the lady in the shop that he wants both. I did buy him both (actually i only sign a name, is paid by papi anyway, haha). I think is not bad to get both so they won't be alone and can chat to each other. I have asked myself if i really still so "childish" to use a monkey bag? But i guess marco will be more happy i use a monkey one instead of a Louis Vuitton.

CATS
Just back from seeing musical show, Cats! I love to see musical sooooo much and so glad that they have a show in brescia. The theater Palabrescia is just few mins' walk from our home. All the songs tonight are in italiano. Their voice are so great! We got the seat on the first row and we have cece sitting on our lap. He also enjoyed the show and clap everytime people clap too. In the past few days, i keep playing the cd of Cats at home, so cece also familiar with the melody of the music.
On my last bday, Marco got me the Cats DVD and last month, he showed me one envolope (saying is the present for we knew for 8 years) and inside the envolope has alot of tickets. He got tickets for some shows from Oct to March. Since i didn't know Cats is showing in brescia, so it was a great surprised! We all enjoyed alot. Next show will be in Dec.

FIRST HALF of OCT
Is already mid oct, time goes fast! In less than a month will be my birthday!! We still haven't decided where to go this year, have thought about: Germany, Switzerland, Paris, London but still haven't made up our mind. I think after being a mom, i am more lazy to "move", just thinking need to pack the suitcases, i feel little tired. I suggested maybe we go to the snow mountain just for see the snow but do nothing, so Marco laughing at me saying, "we just sit there looking the snow and do nothing"....see....i am really lazy! But i also think that next year cece needs to go to school and we may not have trip whenever we want, so i should not waste the chance. Marco also suggests we go to some place for massages, just for relax, so will see.
Have celebrated dd's bday last fri and sat. Last fri have lunch in my home with dd and Carling. Cece really enjoy playing with them and he really won't sleep as long as there are guests in our home. Sat (10th), have bday lunch with dd in their restaurant. Then sunday (11th) after lunch in parents' home, have a short rest at home, then we went to circus with cece! I need to thanks Cece...as because of cece, i got this chance to go to circus and we were sitting in the first row, middle of the stage too. One of the reason we went to circus with cece is for test if he can behave well sitting for a show, as we are going to see Cats together with him next wed. Have thought of leave him in grandparents' home, but since the show will start at 9pm and seems not that good to leave him there till so late.
This morning cece woke up near 10am, so i was thinking he is not going to take nap, however, at around 4pm, he told me that he is tried and want to have milk for sleep (yes, he is still having mammy milk for sleep). I found that he has growth up alot, he can espress what he wants clearly, he is a little kid already. Recenly he always insist to do things on his own, if you helped him, he will cry and need to re-do it on his own. I guess this is what people called "trouble 2".

MY DRIVING LICENCE in ITALY
23/02/2009: first day driving theory lesson
11/06/2009: first day road driving lesson
07/07/2009: theory exam
29/09/2009: road driving exam i.e. the day i have my italy driving licence!
Since i was in HK whole month in May and also have about 1 month's summer holiday, so the actual time i have used for get the driving licence is about 5 months. I have totally 26 hours' lesson with Giovanni and the total among we have paid is around 1200 euro!!! (included all the theory lessons, exam fee, etc) Other than think the money we have spent for the lesson, maybe is better think i have save 200 euro for done the theory and road driving exam at the first time and no need to pay extra lesson fee too! So that means....hahaha....now can plan for birthday travel!
I haven't wrote much in the last 2 weeks as i was really nervous about the exam and i really don't feel like to write anything about that. I just couldn't breathe! So now is time for make the last entry about the exam.
Since i have problem driving Marco's subaru, Marco has asked his father to let me drive his nissan mirca which i can handle much better. On Sept 20th (sunday), we arrived their home around 1030am, left cece there and started my driving lesson with Marco. It was the first time cece don't have papi or mammy with him, and he was a really good boy! Then we back to nonni's home for lunch and after lunch drove another 3 hours together with cece so he could sleep abit in the car.
Then nonno lend us the car again from Sept 25 to 27th, so on 25th (friday), i was being driver and drove Marco to visit cilents in the morning. And that was also the first time i did tunnel drive. 26th (sat) when Marco finished work, we have prasticed 1 hour's parking near home. Actually teacher has asked me don't drive other car on sunday for get use of the exam car, but we still drove to nonni's home on sunday morning, left cece there again and went for some more exercises b4 lunch.
Day b4 exam: i have 1.5 hours' driving lesson from 445 to 615pm and the teacher keep scolding me near all the lesson!! He said if he don't talk loud now, no use to talk loud anymore. He said is true he make me under pressure but tomorrow he will be silent! And he said if i can pass the exam tomorrow, i need to give him a HD tee as gift. After the lesson, my passing index really drop....and i was just really nervous for that. I know i could not sleep well, so that night i went to bed earlier at 1030pm, so after turn around for 1.5 hours, finally slept at mid night, so was not that bad. Teacher told me that the examiner will be a woman and is a medium ok examiner which means not too curel or too kind.
Day of exam: Thanks God that the exam has changed to the afternoon so i could still have lesson in the morning from 8 to 9am. After back home, i went to playground with cece for a while, as i just couldn't stay home and hearing my own heart beating. Since i don't have appetito, so have made some pastine in soup, but finally only have eaten few mouth. Teacher came to pick me up at 145pm, and since both of us arrived earlier, so he said he let me drive 10 mins to pick up the other student. It was really kind of him, so i can touch the car again right b4 exam. After pick up 2 more classmates (same teacher), we went to the exam center (actually i don't know where is, but kinda like the place we go for theory exam), then join together with 2 other students which is with another teacher. And wait for the examiner arrive at 230pm.
The examiner looks abit like Carrie in sex and the city. Anyway, when i first saw her, the feeling was not that terrible and seems nice. When was only teacher and me in the car, he has asked if i want to start first and i told yes and he has arranged i will be the first one have the exam. So 4 other classmates went to the car with the other teacher and following the exam car. In the exam car (which is the one i drive everytime in lesson), teacher sit next to me (as usual) and examiner was on the back. She has asked me to confirm the name, date of birth, address and checked if i have contact lens. After saw the address, she suggested we go to the tangenziale (little highway) and drive to the zone where we live. This is really good to me!!
The normal exam time usual is around 20 mins but this examiner needs most of us (other than those fail) drive near 30 mins! The exam was quite smooth (other than one time i went to the wrong lane and need to turn around the same turn and restart). And i was so glad that the one tell me where to go (turn right, turn left) is my teacher instead of the examiner. And can't believe that they keep talking while i was driving too! They keep talking about travel, kids, where they live, how it the work, etc.....which make me more relax, as is not everyone keep silent. And i am glad i was the first one take the exam, as i am thinking if i am the last one, maybe they don't have anymore thing to talk!
After drove for 10 mins (yes, i still managed to check the clock in the car which means i was not that nervous too), i just told myself half of the exam just past, soon will do parking and i should be fine. Then drove another 10 mins, still not arrived parking spot and i have passby home too! After done the parking S, we went to one closed street for do U turn and exam finished. Since the street for do U turn is narrow and i can't go out with one U turn but need to do 2 times, the last time i have touch little marciapiedi when moving backward, lucky that she just asked me to pay attention then ask me to stop and give me the driving licence immediately! (kind of like pay money when the taxi stop) Yoho, that is how i get my driving licence!
After i did the exam, i join the other school car on the back and following the exam car together. The boy after me fail and he was really angry. Then the next boy also drove for like 30 mins and pass. (so 3 students of Giovanni, 2/3 can pass) After we 3 done exam, we exchange the car, as the other 2 students need to use their car for exam. We have only followed one more then back to school. That girl we followed fail and if i understand right, she fail in the runabout near my home. That runabout is 3 lane and i can tell is i am really lucky (God blessed) as i did that runabout too, if is not i familiar with that one (as is near home), i guess mostly i will did something wrong too.
Giovanni said he is really happy for my performance, i told is also because i was lucky. He said i did drive well too! (when i finished the exam, the other teacher also said i drove well, hehee) Since there is another school car following the exam car, this make the driving more easy, as the car behide will help to block the other cars and make my road more smooth! I really thanks God for taking care of me all the time.
He is my teacher, Giovanni.And i got my driving licence in hand. Photo taken in the driving school.
Since i need to give back my small driving licence (the old one which can drive Delfina), i took a pic for it together with my learning licence the night b4 exam.
P.s. the day b4 exam, Marco said if i pass will go to eat sushi for celebration, if not we will have white rice for one month. So when i called him right after the exam, i only told him "sushi"....then i said i can't talk now as i just near to cry! Finally we were too tired for sushi last night and we will dine out tonight.

CECE'S BABY TALK (2 YEARS OLD)
Cece has growth up alot and can express himself much better by words now. Recently he always talks like "cece eat", "cece cut", "mammy help", "papi bring" (all in cantonese). He starts to put the name b4 what need to do. When i hear him calling himself "cece", i feel really cute. Today he said "papi pak che" (papi park the car) too! Is 4 words! i think soon he can talk sentence, haha! Actually i still enjoying his baby talk, so no need to rush for adult talk so fast. (i just can't believe he is 2 years old already....and next year will be in school....ahhh....so who accompany me at home...i will feel lonely....ahhhhh.....ok, i think too much).
Cece also tell "ng goi sai" to me without i asked recently. Really sweet sweet heart. Even sometimes is just a small thing, like i give him a piece of potato chip, and he will tell ng goi sai (thanks alot). He is really polite! Is true that he learnt "grazie" and "thank you" on his own. "Grazie" i know is me and marco talk and he just learn it when was 13 months old (is one of his first words he tell). For "thank you", i really don't know where he learnt that from! Maybe from Dora tv? I asked him how he know that and he said from por por, but then i said por por also tell "grazie" (as learnt from cece)....then he said learnt from 11, anyway, i am glad he can learn something good on his own.
Last fri after driving lesson, marco asked me to drive home. But when cece saw i was in the driver seat, he just tell NO and point to the passenger seat and said "mammy sit". I told i need to drive and he showed a sad face and used the hand to cover his eyes. I can only tell that baby is really sensitive, he really feel there is something going wrong and he knows i am not a good driver, hah! Anyway, i will add oil.

8 YEARS
Today is 910, is 8 years that me and marco knew each other. We knew 1 day b4 911. 8 years mean 96 months! (so must remember the one in Jan will be 100 months!) We don't have much special celebration but will dine out in the restaurant near home tonight. That one which was a church years ago.
Have done my 17th hour lesson this morning. Teacher said i did not bad. In the first half of the lesson, he already said i drive quite good today....but after said that, he started to "scold" me too, haha! But at least by the end of the lesson, he said is just better than last lesson already. Anyway, i still think there are still alot i didn't learn well yet. Not much time left b4 the exam. I really just think treat the exam as a try only, but my mind can't stop thinking about it. Cece is really sweet, last night when i told him tomorrow morning i need to have driving lesson, he immediatly said "ga yau" (add oil) to me without i ask him to!
