Where's That Trolley

We had to wait for a.is to come for dinner. So kk, pp & I brought you out for our routine walk. Hmm, I have stopped the routine walk for a long time, this is due to khaimah. I have to leave home early to see her for dinner... Anyway, as usual you enjoyed seeing the dogs, cats & birds.

Then we put you on the road. pp & I hold one hand each. You started to walk. I think must be the "falling" that made you didnt wanna walk. Poor thing, you fell too many times.

After dinner, we went to Tesco. You were so tired but still you nodded your head when asked if you wanna go Tesco. I looked high & low for the small trolley, but couldnt find any. So you stand up in the big trolley. Everytime when we are near the shelves, you will reach out and grab whatever you can. At the end of the spree, I had to put everything back.

Before we left, a.is saw 2 kids unloading their groceries from the small trolley. Our eyes didnt leave that trolley... The kids were still holding on to it. Once they let go, I went over to grab it. The we began to put some stuffs inside for you to push. You walked so far. And when we were behind, you would "eee-aaa" to us, and start complaining in your own baby language. You must be saying why arent we walking in front of you.

So funny.... After that we left. It took you 2 minutes to fall asleep in the car.

Kakak No.2

On Friday, pp's kakak finally arrived after 5 months waiting due to some complications. Anyway, she is okay, overall. When she saw u she played with you and wanted to carry you. You allowed her though. You did play with her.

Then during Saturday's dinner, kakak yati indirectly told kakak romi that SHE is YOUR kakak. I can feel that she is a little jealous when kakak romi plays or carries you. Well, for me it's okay, as long as they dont do funny funny things to you.

kk said kakak romi is kakak2, so everytime when we asked you where's kakak2 you'll look at her...

Clips

Well, being well-known as "the photographer", I've taken a lot of picture during yesterday's get-together. People always asked why am I doing that? Am I so free? Etc etc... Well, it's my interest at no cost. Well, for your information, either than your folder, I have a folder for every kiddo - jada, 2R (renee & reeve), lauren, ying2, 2D (davin & darren), zo-e, belen, ruey...

Double Joy

Yesterday we reached a.sin's place at about 3pm. Everyone was there already (not exactly everyone - cause the usual late comers ie mr & mrs tang were still not at sight) - busy eating and playing and watching tv. You were busy playing with ying2's toys. At one point, you were playing with the drums, darren came over, you aaa at him, so I said, "RayErn you cannot do that, must share ok?" Both of you looked at me, then Darren aaa back at you, you crawled to me. So funny, straight away I told daddy & a.nicole.

We adults chatted a while before I started taking photo of everyone. Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery. The good thing was, it ran out at the right time. I was satisfied though.

The baby was so cute, but still we didnt know his name. a.sin asked me to take more pictures for them. I think it's already a norm that friends asked me to take photo. Well, I love photo taking and I dont really mind though, as I have the camera in my bag 24/7. She asked me to do the postcard-liked photo for her. He he, I did for all the babies though - renee, davin, ying2. Well, that was before I had you, cause by then I hadnt any time for other babies....

We then left for u.billy's house. We mothers & a.is went over first. In the car, Renee & you baby talked, only the 2 of you understood. You laughed to each other. After changing, we went to the pool. a.is was a good help though. She snapped a few photo. Renee pushed you round the pool. You loved the water. Reeve didnt join you guys as he has just recovered from the bad cough.

I brought you upstairs after 10 minutes as the wind was blowing hard. You were so cold. I saw you shivering. Poor thing. I know you were very tired. But still you didnt wanna sleep as there were too many people there.

I was a little glad that you didnt sleep, cause something so sweet happened...

1) You were standing at the console. Renee came over to hug you (both facing each other). You rested your head on her chest while she wrapped her arms around you, then patted your head.

2) Renee took a toy car from Reeve (he cried so much). a.janie asked her to give Reeve, but she didnt want, instead she shared it with you. Then when Reeve came over to scratch you, you turned to Renee whom protected you in a way.

Baby Lauren slept, it's a good thing that she can sleep anywhere, anytime. She laid on the sofa. You went over to her. I asked you to sayang her, you did. Then I said, "RayErn oi oi Lauren". You rested your head on her arms... So sweet.

I brought you into the guest room twice, but still you didnt wanna sleep. I gave up. We went down for dinner in Aunty Nat's. In the car you fell asleep. You were so tired that you didnt even need the pacifier. At the restaurant, you slept the whole time. You were really tired and uncomfortable, so we made a move first.

You slept until this morning.....

Note: No pictures here yet, as my PC is spoilt and I cannot download anything. Be patient and watch out for tomorrow's album.

Tiring Day Out

Yesaterday we went to Subang Imigression to make your passport. We left after seeing the long queue. We headed to DU for brunch before meeting the girls in Curve. You slept, I made you sleep. I didnt want you to be sleepy in the music class. We met them in Kopitiam for drinks.

We then left for Kindermusik. We parked our strollers outside and went into the studio. We met Cheryl the teacher. We had balls, jumped up & down, slide right to left, played with the drums and shakers. We were all given 2 shakers but you wanted more. Haha, towards the end, I guessed you were already bored, sleepy and wanted milk.

All the mothers thought we were more tired than the kids.

Not too nice, as compared to Gymboree. a.penny said we might as well pay RM18 for every session in Gymboree than to be tied down by these semester classes. I agreed with her.




We then went for drinks in Dome. We shared a lot. Reeve & you slept, while Lauren was busy self entertaining. Zo-e's kakak was trying hard to get her to sleep, while Jada walked & ran around showing off....

Although it wasnt as I expected, it's great to have a mother & baby get together!!! We should make this more often, maybe once a month???? Or more? Anytime Anyday in ERN...

Baldness Revealed

Well, this is you. I find it ugly though. Poor baby, my handsome son... I've saying you not leng jai, and called you botak... poor thing, i was so disappointed. pp & kk said you're so handsome, and assured me that you will get your hair back in 1 or 2 weeks time. When I asked where botak? You touched your head...

Anyway, I think you understand what I say. For the whole of yesterday, you wore a bandana, that's so surprising. You never allow me to put any head accessories for you, not longer than a minute. Oh god, I think you felt inferior too, sorry baby. I didnt mean to say that. Dont worry whether or not you have hair, you are still the most BEAUTIFUL in my eyes.

Surprisingly Bald

Just now pp called me asking whether I wanted lunch. Of course I do. So I waiting patiently for my lunch & my ceo to come. After 1/2 hour, pp called, asked me to go down to collect my lunch as you were sleeping. I went to her car. I looked behind to touch my precious boy, and OH MY GOD..... pp brought you to the barber for a haircut. Oh god, you looked different, and I dont really liked it though.

How am I supposed to bring you to make your passport then? You looked not yourself. And I cant postponed again or a.ailyn will kill me. This is the 4th time she asked, and she already called this morning to confirm. Oh god oh god....

When kk came back from lunch, I told him - he was so happy. kk always like you to be bald. hmmm.....And jj called, I told him, he laughed so loud just to annoy me. And I called a.ailyn to tell her, she laughed and asked me to mms her. I told jj & a.ailyn that I will mms them later today. Daddy called and I told him the same, he was so happy and said should have done that earlier............. ARGH!!!

Well some comments i received.... thru msn, sms & phone
u.rodney and u.redbean said bald's the in thing now....
a.is asked me to go home & take a picture of you for her.... i will definately & it'll be on the blog tomorrow

A Quick Review

Last weekend was like hell. I was so sick that I didnt dare carry you. Well, I am still sick while writing this. Nothing much really, Saturday we stayed home all day cause I couldnt walk much. You were as active as ever, crawling, climbing, riding.....

Then when night came, I took my medicine and went to bed. I could hear daddy patting you to sleep, but you didnt want. I slept on the floor as I didnt want you to catch the cold. But you came down and laid beside me. So sweet. After much crying, I couldnt help it but to carry you. We walked around dilly dally dilly dally... walked up & down, kitchen to living, dining to bedroom.

You finally slept at 2am. I dunno why, but I thought it might be because of the fall. Kakak said you cried for the past 3 nights. Oh god, that's after the fall.... I'm so worried. By then I was half dead.

The next morning you poked my eyes & nose & mouth again. Cute fella. When I opened my eyes to see you, you were rubbing your eyes. Then again poked my eyes. So cute. I got up and changed you, we have to go for lunch with yy & mm.

We then went to Ikano, Ikea & Curve. It was so packed. I guessed you like Ikano the most. When you saw the machines you pointed from far and nodded your head.... hahha daddy quickly brought you there. Then we went into Hytex, where you played a little.

After strolling around for like an hour and a half we headed home to wait for kk & pp for dinner.

At dinner, pp gave you a yam ball... You loved it and I caught you on camera. Chicky Boy!!! You were so happy, clapping and showing your very good sign... hehhehe yummy yum yum.

Gymboree

Last Friday, I missed first half of work to bring you to gymboree. a.penny & I thought of bringing you 2 monkeys for a trial class. I arrived a little early. The mums & kids there were friendly. As soon as I put you down, you started crawling everywhere - the slides the balls everywhere. There were like 10 pairs of mummy & baby. Then a.penny & zo-e came.

Let's see if mummy can remember them all. Ian, Ruyi, Nadya, Kai Xiang, etc etc...

Anyway, we started of singing and dancing. Then walked up & down the slides. You were the first to do everything. Then you played with balls and this & that. I was more tiring than you I guessed. There was a pool of balls for the kids to play. Everyone stood out and played with the ball, while you climbed and sat right on the balls. Hahaha.... The teacher said you were clever but greedy haha.

You enjoyed the bubble most. You tried to catch every one of them... which happened to burst when you laid your tiny finger on them. All the babies were around 12 -14 months. Youngest was zo-e. You were so big compared to all of them. The teacher was surprised to hear your age. She said you are a big boy... and at first she thought I lied to get into the class.

Anyway, you were more interested in the slides behind. You tend to crawled towards them and not pay much attention to the teacher. Funny.... When the teacher hid Gymbo (the clown) you opened up the cover to find it. The teacher said, "RayErn you're so clever!" I was so proud of you.








hello people, move it, i need to get to the other end....









i want the green ball.. hmm maybe all of them!!









aren't these all mine? you guys can play from the outside okay?









hmm... boring, i rather go on the slides

Then after that we left to Toys'R'Us. I bought you the bubbles...

We went to office and pp sent you home.

The Fall

At 930am, my phone rang & it was daddy. Unusual call at this time of the day. The conversation went something like this .....

Daddy: Where are you?
Me : Work la, then?
Daddy : You know your son fell? From the bed.
Me : Oh my god, what happened?
Daddy : I dont know, I was sleeping and he cried so loud. I woke up seeing him lying on the pillow on the floor crying so loud.
Me : Poor thing. How now? Is he okay? Is he vomitting? Is there a bump?
Daddy : He's okay, still crying.

Poor thing my son. I know this will happen sooner or later. Last week I was still proud to say that my son has not fallen off the bed. Today it happened. Poor thing. I was so 'sum thong'. I called pp, and she went over right away. I told her to pay extra attention. Just in case you vomit, you have to be admitted.

Then at 1030am, I asked her to bring you to the office. I needed to see you. When you arrived, you smiled at me.. Poor thing, but thank god you still played & laughed like you always do...

I Love Music

Yesterday daddy brought us to Ikano. I went to check Kindermusik. Lots of aunties & pohpohs asked me to bring you to music classes when they see how you react to songs (ie twinkle twinkle & if you're happy). I got the details. After that we went for sushi dinner. It was so nice. You loved the place. There you were so busy arranging the sauce plate. You put them on the belt. Haha... You had some of the okayo don & finished the whole chawanmushi.

You were so sleepy, you slept on the way home.

Early this morning, I msn-ed a.ailyn, a.penny, a.janie & a.audrey. I arranged an exclusive music class for you all. First Cheryl (the coordinator), said it would cost us more RM35. I told her that there will be 5 of us, so she gave us the normal RM28. So we are all set to go for the Music class on Tuesday 14:00 hours...

M&M Attack

Just now you brought me lunch. You laughed when you came into the office. As usual you went everywhere, messing everyone's desk. At one point while I was working on the computer, it suddenly went off. Thanks to my dearest child, you off it.

So I thought I had better bring you out for a while. We went to 7-Eleven. I bought you a toy mobile phone & your favorite mini m&m's. It's one thing that can make you sit down quietly, well at least for a while.

We came back to the office and you were so busy with the m&m. You took out one by one to feed me, then ate some yourself. After that I gave you a cup and you started entertaining yourself. You poured out everything into the cup and put them back into the tube - one by one.

I started my work as I guessed I will be leaving early again. Now you are sleeping soundly....

Sunday Pool Party

I organised a pool party yesterday. This time it was a pot luck cause I dont want pp to be too stressed cooking for a party of almost 20 everytime we had a get together. Anyway, just a list of food -

us - roasted duck

jj - pp's yummy tom yum mee hoon

a.ailyn - mouth watering la manilla hazelnut cake

a.janie - home cooked curry chicken

a.sin - delicious yong tau foo

a.audrey - all time favorite KFC

We ate from 4 till 8pm. After everyone arrived, I changed you to the new swimming trunk. You looked cute. You always loved the water. This time mummy stayed up to snap some pictures of everyone. The pool was so packed.... packed with mummies actually. You stand on yourself most of the time. Haha, but the water kept pushing you, you drank some water I guessed. Poor thing Belen couldnt go into the water as her hand was hurt. So she stood there playing with you outside.

After a while, kakak asked you to come up. You quickly squat down. She had to force you to come up. You cried, but baby, it's cold. i dont want you to catch a cold. So up we went to the room, to bathe and change. We went downstairs and kakak gave you a KFC drumstick and some mee hoon. I played mahjong with a.sin & a.janie. You wanted me to carry you so much, maybe it was because you wanted to play with the mahjong.

While playing, I watched you lil ones enjoying yourselves with the kakaks. Thank god you guys didnt fight. After we stopped playing, I brought out the baby bites, gave reeve & you. Then when ying2 saw, she came so fast and snatched the biscuit from you. You looked at her dont know what to do. I gave you another one.

I know you were tired. You were pulling your ears & rubbing your eyes. I thought I might as well see them out before putting you to bed. You waved good bye to everyone. I brought you upstairs to clean you up, changed you into your pyjamas. Then sang you your songs, read you your bedtime story while you rolled another thousand times before dozing off...

At 130am, you woke up. I knew this would come. You are too tired my boy. You cried and I had to turn on the CD-player before you stopped. It's nothing unusual. You looked at the player and rested in my arms. Pointed and holding the remote control to the player. After about 30 minutes, you slept again.

A Lot Of Buying

I woke up, but you were still sleeping. I couldnt sleep anymore cause of your pool party. I went downstairs to blow up the pool & cook breakfast. Before I finish blowing up the pool, I heard you crying. When I went up, you stood there looking at me sadly, sobbing. Usually you wake up smiling, daddy said because you didnt see me, that's why you cried.

After breakfast, we went out to do some groceries shopping. We went to Tesco. I gave you the tiny trolley. You pushed and walked yourself... Funny, too bad I didnt bring my camera, but I had it on my phone. Kakak saw you exhausted, so she put you in the mini trolley. When daddy asked if you liked it, you nodded.

We bought our stuffs. As usual, you wanted to join in so you busy "ee-aa" at everything you saw. To keep you quiet, I opened a pack of 'honey star'. You sat quietly until we pay.

Then we went to tabau the roasted duck for the pot luck. After that we went to Sg. Buloh to buy fish. Daddy bought you 3 fish. When we reached home, you took the net to catch them. Poor thing the fish.

And time passed.... 12pm - 1pm - 2pm - 3pm...... you tried so hard to stay awake, still no sign of the guests, until 3pm you dozed off.....

Not Really A Birthday Party

We left office at 1130am, to get pressies for Ruy Quin (a.suet mei’s daughter). It was her first also. Wow, so many birthday parties to attend these days. You were as usual shy, but after ½ hour you were crawling hi & low. a.suetmei, jj & I wanted to talk so I put you at the fridge while you played with the magnets. Then a.suetmei gave you grapes. You saw jj peeling the skins before eating them. You insisted on having one, then you started to peel the skins. You tried so hard, and finally when you got it out, you put it in your mouth. a.suetmei said you were clever.

Anyway, it wasnt really a birthday party. It was more like a family & close friend get together. Only 2 babies around, just you & RuyQuin. It's okay though. It's always good to have another friend. And that was why I brought you.

After that on the way home jj bought you McD fries. You loved it. We watched tv at home. Then kk came to play with you. Then you slept from 6 – 8pm. We met the other yap family for dinner. I fed you your porridge and renee wanted a little. In the end, she ate almost all of it. Reeve was busy enjoying his tomato pretzels.
You always loved seafood. Daddy fed you crab , that made you sat still.

After dinner we went home to watch movie. You 3 musketeers played a while before Reeve went up to bed.
Left you & renee. You both started with riding on the bikes, then into the tents, underneath the mattress, eating all the snacks you could find.

Then being a good husband, u.kwailo massaged a.vp. Everyone asked why you started hitting my back. I told them my lovely boy is giving me a massage. Hahaha, so cute, this manja fella. Daddy was jealous. I’m so proud of you. I‘m glad that you always share. You never cry when people take your toys. I love you.

You are so observant, or should I say curious. You always looked at people when they do things. Yesterday I observed you myself. I saw you looking at how u.kwailo took his sotong out to eat, how renee played your toys.

You slept at 1230am. I'm tired baby.

Yucky Barney

I'm sorry for the title, but I have never liked this purple dinosaur. I know it's educational, but I just didnt like it. And I got to know that it's having a concert in KL. That's funny, I thought it was just any other shows they have in the center concourse where anyone can see from the escalator & such. Until yesterday night only did I realised, it was a concert as in a real concert. A theater, a stage etc etc... I was so surprised when a.vp told me it cost her RM82 to go in (whether u are below 2 or adult). And that's supposed to be the cheapest. Madness!!! She told me it's the REAL barney (the one from USA).

It seemed quite popular though. a.desi brought belen last year. a.vp bringing renee & ying2 this year. u.rodney asked if I'm bringing you, if so, asked me to go with a.muych'ng & ruey. No way, and a big thank you for those who invited.

I'll stick to Disney's Playhouse - Jojo's Circus, Bob the Builder, Elmo's, Bear in the Big Blue House, etc etc.....

Lil' Hands & Feet

Nothing much happened yesterday. I went home you were sleeping. No matter how much I touched & disturbed you, you didnt wake up. pp said you hadnt slept the whole of yesterday, that's why. I took pictures again - of your hands & feet. I do that a lot. Cause when you are awake I never have the chance as you are always on the move.



You woke up at 7pm. Still sleepy, you clinged on to me. I brought you to the porch to see lizards... You laughed, but mummy was afraid of the reptilias, I kept a distance. Then went in to feed you your porridge & gave you your bath, before leaving to 1U for movie with a.vp(janie), a.sin, u.kwailo & u.johnny.

a.audrey's birthday bash

There are 2 similarities these days. The rain & the birthday. Saturday was jada's, then reeve's now a.audrey's. Well, you slept on the way. I dunno why, maybe it's the rain. Anyway, on the way into a.audrey's beautiful home, kakak asked, "huh, dia sudah 1 tahun ah?" I said, "bukan dia (lauren) la, dia punya mak"

After wishing a.audrey a great birthday, I asked her where was my 'DIL'. Ohh cute lauren kept on pulling your shirt.. Naughty lauren, so young yet so hehehe....

Anyway, daddy brought in some food for us all. Still no sign of others. We had our dinner before they came. Then I saw a.janie, u.kwailo & reeve. The birthday boy too. One by one, they came. a.julie brought out the car she gave reeve. Reeve sat on it, and came down after 1 minute. I saw you crawling so fast from behind. You sat on it. Then followed by Ying2 & Darren. They were lining up behind you waiting for their turn. Poor thing, it's Reeve's dear, not yours.

While the parents were busy eating & chatting, both you & Reeve were enjoying the satay given by kakak. After a.audrey's cake cutting, I told a.janie, we should do a little ceremony for Reeve too. I brought in a candle. a.janie lit it up and we began to sing

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to Ray... (ooops)

Sorry, both a.janie & I. Then we sang again, and it was REEVE.... You were so happy when we sang, clapping & laughing like you did in allan.kk's birthday. Then, after the song, you snatched the cake... Baby wait, it's Reeve's birthday.

At about 1030pm, we left...

Mummy's Day Off

You woke up for your milk at 7am. I fed you and quickly went to wash up. I need to do things slowly & queitly as I didnt wanna wake you up. After getting dressed, I went down and suddenly my phone rang, it was kk. He asked " you not coming to work right?" Hmm, I was like, wow, what a call. Okay then, since I have to collect my car and meet up with eekee.yi, I might as well take a day off.

Instead of going straight to bed, I brought out the notebook to continue my journal. It's a little weird to have so many places to record your growing years. Anyway, I finally finished Reeve's first birthday's blog. Then after an hour & a half I went up. I carefully opened the door, to see daddy changing your diaper. Huh??? I was so surprised.

You saw me and smiled. I went over, forget about the diaper as I will be bathing you soon.

I asked daddy to get changed and not waste time. We went for breakfast in Village Park. You sat there obediently waiting for me to feed you. After that we went to the gym, your gym. We headed to Kidz Gym in One Utama. When we arrived, you made your way to the ball pool. As usual you climbed the slides.

Daddy was so happy to see you play. It's his first time going with you to places like this. I'm used to seeing you like this. Can you find yourself in the pool of balls???

After that, we went into Toys'R'Us. Got you a ball. Then headed off to KFC, daddy said you wanted whipped potato. I wonder how he knows. Anyway, after having a few bites, I fed you water, then some coke. You refused to take the water, you pointed at the Coke and nodded.... Hahaha, daddy & I laughed out loud. The next table looked at us. You are so funny, I think you still cannot control your head well, when you nod your body moves with it....

Daddy wanted to have a fag, so I brought you into Eunos. After about 15 minutes,
I walked out to meet daddy. he pointed at you. I dunno why, when I went to see you ,
you were fast asleep. Poor baby. You must be tired. You didnt even asked for your
pacifier, and the stroller seat was so up right.

Anyway, I brought you into the car and we headed home. You slept until 4pm. Then you were so active as usual. Crawling high and low. I started my notebook, you kept on coming wanting me to carry. So I brought you to the fridge. You played with the magnets I bought yesterday.

We waited for daddy to come home to bring us to a.audrey's birthday party...

So Near Yet So Far

At 12pm, I saw kakak holding you outside my office door.
When you saw us, you smiled as usual. Wanting kk to carry. First thing kk said was “yau lei kacau ah?”
Hahaha, then at 1pm, when we were about to leave for lunch, pp said asked kk to eat in the office while I send her to mahjong.
Then I came home with you.

Then eekee.yi called asked if I wanna join them in Curve. Yup. We went and when you saw her & u.kadir you were so lcly., as usual. You rested your head on my shoulder and hugged me hard.
After about ½ hours, we went for a drink in Starbucks. You began to play with her. Then in order to
avoid the jam, we had to leave. They sent us back to pp’s house cause kakak was there alone.
I called daddy asking him when he will come pick us, he said late.
And having no car, we were stucked in pp’s house. Before I made any decision, kakak suggested we walked home.
At first I thought it was a bit dangerous for you to be on the road, and it wasn’t near on foot.
Then again, she assured me that it’s near.

Okay then, we walked. From pp’s house to ours takes about 5-minutes drive. But the walking took us ½ an hour.
¾ way home, you fell asleep…. So funny. It was tiring but fun though.

You woke after 2 ½ hours. Then I brought you up to shower. Dressed you up for dinner with khaimah & u.jonathan.
When u saw her at first, you gave her the lcly look again.
After a while in Rib Shop, you were yourself again. Started moving everywhere.
I gave you carbonara, you loved the Chinese sausage, and a little mash potato.
After we left, we went home. You played with khaima.

Then we brought you into her room. You entertained yourself while we chatted a little of everything.

Reeve's First

I went to a.ailyn’s place to collect her pressie for reeve. Then to pick a.desi & belen. When we arrived only did I know they were not joining us. Actually she called me a lot of times, but I left my ohone at home. So all in all I had 4 pressies with me. I thought I looked like a Santa more than an auntie attending a birthday party.
Anyway, it was raining so heavily, thank god there was a sheltered carpark. We found our way to Nando’s when I heard a whistle from above. It was u.kwailo standing outside gymboree. I went up to find the birthday boy with her beautiful mummy. She asked us to go in and I did. You went almost every part of the gymboree.
You really have grown so much. You went to the slide and climbed up, then slide down backwards – all by yourself.
Clever boy. Then you crawled up & down, hi & low, left & right.
I captured a lot of pictures though. Then a.sin was hungry and asked me to accompany her to Nando’s first.
I told her to give me another 10 minutes to snap a few more shots.
Well, also, I thought I might as well take a few shots for the birthday boy & family, as a.janie might be too busy.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You enjoyed so much that you didn’t realized I left.

After a wing & a drumstick, I thought I should go check on you. I went upstairs this time daddy followed.
You were still as energetic. Moving everywhere. Daddy was so happy to see you. My dearest, it was time to leave.
I held you up and brought renee with us, as a.janie was busy paying for the wonderous time you had there.

On the way down, daddy said we should bring you there every week. Well, he complained one month ago when I told him a.janie’s paying RM18 for 1 hour to go in. Now, he wants to bring you there every week????
He said it’s the laugh and smile on your face that is worth it…..
Ha ahahhaha, for once, daddy’s so considerate.

Anyway, in Nando’s, we saw a lot of aunties & friends. a.mel said you look like “see tau jai” (lil’ boss). I gave you a cup of fries and you were quietly sitting there enjoying them. jj carried you everywhere. He is always proud of you.
Then a.is brought you to the slides. You laugh so much. You wanted to jump on to her.
And I really wonder what is it in her that always makes you smile that much…

I suggested that we quickly have the cake cutting before reeve sleeps, well, another excuse for me to taste that beautiful cake.
Once a.janie brought out the cake, we parents & babies gathered behind the birthday boy.
I wasn’t behind, I was next to her though. Well, I thought the two monkey yappies should have a picture together.
After that, it was cake distribution time. I went over and told a.janie I wanted the Mickey Mouse cupcake.
You loved the cake, I dunno whether you like the cake or the mickey….

a.audrey brought Lauren over to play with you. My lil boy is always the shy one.
Lauren was so friendly, she touched you. You guys played under jj’s supervision, while I went to busy body with a.sin & a.janie.
When I came back, I saw you jealous seeing jj carrying Lauren.
So funny, jj was so happy.

Then again you were sleepy, so I went over to bid everyone goodbye…

Unusual Sunday Morning

A lot of kiddos first... Who knows next year we might get another baby at this time - ie. a.sin???

Early morning I felt a little finger poking my eyes, a small palm on my face. I opened my eyes to see my precious smiling at me. It's funny why you woke up so early as you slept at 12am the night before. Anyway, after you woke me, you crawled to daddy and 'ee-aa' him. He opened his eyes and said to give him 10 minutes before he gets up to bring us for breakfast. Wow, that's another funny thing as it was only 9am.

I quickly called a.janie, as they always have Curve-Gym on Sundays. They asked us to go meet them for breakfast. We went there and saw the Mr, Mrs, Miss & Master Yap. After our breakfast we went shopping while u.kwailo went to his gym. When we came to the machines, Renee and you were so happy. Renee hopped in and daddy slowly put you seated. Too bad we adults have no RM1 coin.

Then jj called to see if I was with you. I asked him to come to Curve for breakfast. Haha, I dunno whether it's really coincidence that everytime you wear your bright orange shirt, jj will wear his as well. You both looked like father and son. He fed you his roti bakar. Then we went to Anakku, you loved the playground. You didnt wanna go home, you cried so loud when daddy carried you up.

Anyway, you slept on the way home. I woke you up at 130pm. I didnt want you to miss the gymboree and of course didnt want a.janie's thoughtfulness go to waste.

Jada's First

We went to pick Belen and headed to TTDI Pizza Hut. We went upstairs and saw Renee in tears. I thought what happened, she was afraid of the clown...

I made my way thru to see the birthday girl in baby blue & white. Not until a.ailyn mentioned, did I realised you wore the same colour. Anyway, I brought you straight to the face painting table. You were so reluctant to have one, but I didnt give up. When jj brought you to talk to pow.kk, I stamped the green sun on your left cheek. So cute. I had one red one myself.

You enjoyed yourself a lot with a.is's company. You kissed yourself in the mirror, so funny. I wanted a photo of you and Jada, but she was too busy walking around. Cute butt, she has. Anyway, I managed to get a.ailyn to carry Jada & had a picture of the four of us.

As usual a lot of compliments.... a.mel, a.christine, pow.pp, a.vyvynn, some aunties I forgot names..... Too bad you can't walk. It would be nice to see you running about with Jada. You were not at your place, jj was so busy showing you off. There were a lot of kids there so I didnt want you to sit away from them.

During the cake cutting / song singing session, Jada put up a smile as if she knew she was the star for the day. I went over and took a photo of ou 2 monkeys. I fed you the cup cake and before we left, we chat a little. And you were so tired you slept on my shoulder....

I guessed you must be really tired. You didnt have must sleep for the past 3 days. You slept from 4 - 7pm. After you woke up, we went for dinner in Aman Suria. Fed you a little tofu, then you entertained yourself with the mini m&m's.

After dinner we went home. a.vp, u.kwailo, renee, a.sin, a.is & u.gary came. a.vp, a.sin & u.gary played mahjong, daddy & u.kwailo watch Election. a.is & I were entertaining you kiddos. I dunno why you were so mischievous. You disturbed renee so much, so funny. You kept on annoying her. When she had milk you went to touch her head and ran off, then went to touch her tummy & ran off, then moved her bottle & ran off, then put the dog on her face & ran off.... Hahahahah.

I realised I need to have double of everything when it comes to kids. When renee saw soemthing you have, she wanted. Vice Versa. I brought you up to bed, you twisted & turned about 3,000 times before dozing off....

Smile, You Are On Camera

Dearest RE, if you know mummy well enough, you should know mummy's a photo freak. I love taking pictures - to take & be taken. From your birth to date I think I have almost 2,000 pictures of you. Mummy wanna thank George Eastmann, the inventor of camera. Mummy had develop all until recently a.ailyn said I was mad. She suggested I keep a CD-Rom instead. Well, now mummy only develop those nicer & cuter once.

Anyway, what brought me to write this is that, I just realised I have taken almost 300 pictures for the past few days - Melaka, Jada's & Reeve's 1st. Wow, that's a lot. Another thank to the CF Memory Card inventor, I can just snap as much as I like. Well, I'm not going to post all the pictures here though, or I will run out of space to write about you.....

Out of Town

Well, since most of the people are using this blogger, I might as well start here also.

We had done a lot this Deepa-Raya. First we went to Melaka spent 3D/2N in A Famosa. We went to the Animal Safari. You enjoyed the elephant show so much. When the audience clapped, you followed and laughed. Your eyes didn't leave the animals - elephants, tigers, chicken, birds, monkeys. orang utan, horses etc etc.....

Then we waited for renee, munn-munn, a.janie & u.kwailo to go Water Theme Park. The moment you saw the pool, you wanted to jump in. We didnt even have time to change you. kk went down with you. He didnt wait for me, he brought you around the park. pp & I were looking for the both of you. After almost 15 minutes, I saw my daddy with my little rayern from far.

You were laughing and busy splashing the water. I quickly jumped into the pool. Renee wasnt at sight, so kk & I brought you to the pool in the middle where there were waves. The water was shallow there, so your feet could touch the ground. When I say "RayErn, mummy coming." You ran away from me. Ha ha...

When we came back, you played with Renee a little before pp brought you up. She's always 'kan cheong', afraid you might catch a cold or something. You were so tired, you slept on the shuttle on the way back.

When you woke up, we headed to Melaka Town for dinner. After that, we went to Jonker Street. It was so hot, I opened up your shirt buttons & folded up your sleeves. kk & jj said you looked like gangster. Haha, funny baby.

You were busy looking around at lights above and people walking....
