This blog started as a blog for my daugther, Zara, whom we were blessed to have after 5years of trying and praying. We have then moved on to my own domain, after our 2nd girl, Zaria was born. Now this will be my space, for my views, my recipes, my take.

Wawa & Baba Black Sheep
Zara has been calling herself Wawa instead of Zara lately. It must have been the influence of the Chinese song 泥娃娃 (Nu Wawa - Doll of clay). I tried to correct her yesterday.
Me : Zara, what is your name?
Zara : Wawa.
Me : No, not wawa. Your name is ZARA.
Zara : *pointed to her chest* Wawa
Me : You can call yourself Wawa if you want, but your name is ZA-RA!
Zara : *quiet*
Me : Tell mummy again. What is your name?
Zara : Wawa's name Cookie!
Me : *giggled* Your name is cookie? A biscuit?
Zara : *laughed* Hahaha. Wawa's name cookie!
Me : Your name is not cookie la. Your name is ZA-RA!
Zara : Hahaha. *repeated after me* Not cookie la. ZA-AH!
Me : Yes. Your name is Zara.
Zara : Not cookie! *giggled*
Nowadays, I could really have a 'conversation' with her, and I can see, she has some sense of humour.
She has also started singing quite a fair bit. With all the miss pronunciation, most of the time, we could still make out what song she's singing. Here's Zara's attempt to sing the song Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Wawa is a good nickname ler.... Like egghead, maybe we'll call Zara Wawa next time. lol
Lyon called herself as 小可爱!哈哈!becos SIL always call her like that.
Let her listen more often, she will sing to u one day, just as Lyon did now, although out of tone! :P
wawa wawa! ermmm... maybe your next kid's name can be Wawa? teehee!
Zara helping you to find name for your next one ar?
I think she knows her name is Zara but purposely act don't know...
She finding herself nickname..
Hey, if you want her to stick to Zara, amke sure don't let her use Wawa.. then follow until big girl ;P
looks like Wawa need more practice in singing..later can join Malaysian Idol. :D
what a clever girl. can sing on demand. she seemed a video shy a bit...
She's quite a tease huh? Know how to "pull" your legs...
Hahaha, Zara's getting bored with the name Zara and tried to call herself Wawa for a change?
Egghead,
She probably won’t know the difference. :P She thinks it’s still her.
Helen,
Sounds very similar to her name too, pronounce by a younger kid. :P
Jesslyn,
Haha.. wah.. this Lyon lagi clever to give herself nick name.
She’s listening almost e.day. In the car (CD), at home (DVD/VCD), at night make mummy sing, etc.
May,
Zara & Wawa.. hmm.. must book the domain name first.
Chanelwong,
Haha.. if I let her name the next one, it’ll probably be snake or worm. :P
Yes, I think so too, she purposely act don’t know.
Geetha,
That’s why I’m trying to correct her.
She knows her name is Zara, but she still calls herself Wawa. Maybe because she knows it means doll, and she wants to be a doll.
Vien,
Malaysian Idol? Don’t want ler.. get criticized so badly by the judges.
Mom2Ashley,
She’s just shy I think. Even without the camera, she would still look away. When we asked her why, she would say, “wawa shy”.
Sesame,
Yeah.. always trying to pull my legs.
Tracy,
She thinks she’s a doll mah. :P
Wawa is a nice nickname, she made a good choice! :)
hehe she is cute...so young she got a nickname already? ;)
Oi? I thought you have settled for the name "Zucchini" if its a boy, no?
Starts with 'Z' right?
It's so adorable to think of herself as a Wawa. I used to think I was an apple when I was a baby. I hope Bevan won't be thinking that he is an Orange. :)
Now that Zara can converse, don't you think it's simply adorable what she has to say?
Wawa Zara..hey, that's a very nice name mah..;)
She can have conversations at such a young age,i'm really very impressed! (though i've said this many times, but can't help lah!:P)
haha. ZAra is at that stage where she gives funny replies and knows she is being funny!
She is so so cute....She can sing so well eh, the tune is there. I can catch it. Is it the girl thing? BB can never sing like that and never willing to sing.
Wawa and cookie can be her nickname ler. hahahaha!!!
Wawa is cute!!!! I also wanna be wawa!!! As in WAAAAAWAAAAA!!!
your conversation with zara was so cute. she wants to be called wawa. yea, nickname ... wawa ... cute cute like a doll.

I always felt so entertaining when Ethyl tried to sing with Barney or Hi 5 vcds and dancing at the same time! :D
Hahaha... how did she link cookie to her name? So cute...

Her mind seems to be extra mature when it comes to talking.. And sometimes she also tries to be funny, this wawa of mine.

Michelle,
No.. no.. I don’t want her to be Malaysian Idol.. Some of the judges are so ‘wicked’ with their comments!
Allyfeel,
Don’t know if it’s a girl thing.. She’s very into singing these days. Maybe it’s mummy’s genes. I used to perform on stage singing and dancing at 3, 4yrs old. Haha.
LB,
Wawawa.. you eat so much these days when you returned home, your colleagues will say Wawawa as well.. Or will they say Ooh Lala instead?
Whoisbaby,
Yeah.. Wawa is a doll in Chinese. She won’t let anybody use that name except herself. She copy right it. : - I
