So many new things!

I've learnt to spit - phooey! Last Saturday, Mummy and Daddy took me to MPH bookstore and I spit on the new book. That's not as worse yet because I can really spit hard and my saliva will just spray on one big area. At least I don't drool on my shirt when I spit! But Mummy said I am a naughty boy because when she told me to spit on her house buyer's kids the other day, I didn't do it. I just gave them the wide-eyed stare....

I've also found my toes....wriggly wriggly toes....I love to count them and try to put them in my mouth!

My Name Is Khyentse.

My parents named me Khyentse. (Pronounced "Khen" "Zee"). Apparently they went through many names and many months and still couldn't come up with a name of their choice. There was a list but then somehow, those names are just not the one. My soon-to-be godfather suggested to my parents of using Tibetan names. My parents like the idea and have him suggested few. Those names were calculated based on which month i will be borned (april or may). However, my father don't really feel those names are suitable for me. No names were choosen before i arrived. On the first day i cried my first cry, father sort of inspired to name me "Khyentse". After consulted mother, both of them agreed that this would how i will be named.

The name wasn't in the the calculated list . It was however, suggested by my godfather earlier and is a name used by those revered Tibetan gurus. Khyentse is a combination of 2 Tibetan words, 'Khyen' means wisdom and "Tse' means compassion or loving.

Note from Daddee : I wish my boy the wisdom to do the right things & i wish him the love to handle the heart when it is tough to do the right things.

Stupid Eczema!

I've been ploughed real hard with eczema. I have discolouration on my body and scaly skin all around :( Who says all babies have smooth skin? Mummy massages me with baby oil every day and puts baby lotion for me twice a day but my skin is still dry. Dr. Ong has given me two bottles of medicated cream but it only helps supress the itchiness for a while. Sometimes at night, I wake Mummy up coz I'm scratching all over till I bleed and Mummy don't like to see blood over my forehead and legs.

But hey, new itch-free, scratch-free days are ahead of me - Mummy bought some Chinese herbs to bathe me in every day and it seems to be working. Last night, I slept 5 hours straight without waking anyone up!
