a.vp & me

This picture was taken on 23 April in BSC in Uncle Ho's shop.

Hahaha, well, I had to post this up as it's definitely not easy to get a photo with you. The moment a.vp hold you, she said she needs to call her MIL to buy number. That shows how difficult it is to carry you.

Anyway, I personally quite like this photo though.

The Weekend

Saturday
Daddy had to bring you out for lunch, cause he hasnt seen you for 5 days. After about 3 hours out, we finally reached home. a.penny, a.is & u.gary came, followed by jj & pauline.cc. After you woke up, you played with a.is & pauline.cc while I slept.

We then went for dinner with all of them, and a.sin called saying she will join us. In the restaurant you were so happy chasing ying2 around. We went home and chatted a while.

I brought you up to bed. You watched tv as usual. Then you turned about a million times, searching for the right comfortable spot. You did. You finally climbed up to my chest and fell asleep. Wow, I was so glad...

Sunday
After lunch, we went to Bangsar Shopping Complex. We were in Times Bookstore before a.vp called me. We went down the escalator, I heard someone calling me from across the mall. It was the little sweetie and her mummy & daddy. We went for some drinks. Then I brought you and renee to the kid's gym. You loved it.

On the way to the car park, renee held my hand "a.joanne, i go your house" She always loved our house. She didnt let go my hand. After a.vp brought her to the car, I heard her crying so loud. She ended up in our car, going back to our house.

We met up for dinner. Reeve & you finally found the way to communicate. You guys never really click, but today (after the kiss in belen's house), you guys exchanged stares...

Birthday Summary

We reached belen's house at around 530pm. You gave the present to her and got back a hug. So sweet, she was like a little princess. We talked to belen's pp & aunties for a while before we went out to the sand art section. Both reeve & you were too short. So a.janie & I helped ourselves to decorate the art.

I asked kakak to feed you first, while I joined those 3/4 years old kids. After about 15 minutes, I had my masterpiece done. So I joined a.janie, reeve, you, both kakaks at the dining table. Then soon enough, a.sin & ying2 arrived.

From far I saw a guy in colorful attire. IT's THE CLOWN. All the kids rushed over. You hung on to me - tight. I knew you were afraid, but I assured you it's ok. He is just a clown. Then you went over to get a balloon from him. After all the kids got their balloons, the magic show starts. You sat there obdiently concentrating on the clown. Not many kids would pay so much attention.

Anyway, as it was getting a little late, a.desi called for the cake cutting. Wow, nice cake. I didnt really see what was happening as I was too busy holding 2 cameras. I just snapped n snapped. I dunno why when it comes to real birthdays, you stare quietly, unlike at home, where you hum and clap and blow the candles.

After having a big piece of cake, it was time to say goodbye. All the kids lined up to get their "party packs" - it was a Precious Moments tumbler plus 3 chocolates. So sweet and thoughtful. You were so tired in the car, but I stopped you from sleeping as we had another dinner to attend.

A Full Fun Day

Usually I would sleep till late on public holidays, but I woke up early. We had breakfast with kk, pp & jj. Then we went to klcc. We walked around, waited for renee, a.vp & u.kl. After seeing them for a minute, you fell asleep.

We headed to Chinoz. Soon the 3rd Yap family arrived. You woke up. Hehehe, after having 2 bread rolls, you started running around playing with ying2 & renee. Then I got up, took my ever-ready camera and brought you kids out.

Once out there, you were so happy. Daddy & jayden (with his maid) stayed under the shade while I went out with you all under the bright sunlight. Seeing them there, you waved asking them to join us. You like company. Then you ran around with renee & ying2. The 3 of you sat on the steps so obediently waiting for me to snap photos. I got perfect shots.

Then I decided to bring you guys in before we end up being bbq-ed. I didnt even get to sit and chat with them for 10 minutes. Not only you but renee also came to pull me out. Hahaha, ok ok. I went out with you guys, but this time I brought a.vp & a.sin with me. You asked them to join us, but they just cant stand the hot burning sun.

Soon we left for the office. Then we went to buy your milk & diapers. You fell asleep in the car and only woke up at 730pm for dinner.

My Territory

After work, I called a.vp, reminding her that we were waiting for her for dinner. Before their arrival, we walked a bit in the garden. When k.yati washed my car, you ran towards her, wanting to play with the hose. She gave it to you and you helped her wash. At times you would pretend to spray the water at kk, pp & me. Hahaha.

At around 615pm, I saw a.vp's car from far. I went out to welcome our guest. I held renee, first thing she asked was "ray ern kung kung leh?" Wow, I told a.vp and we laughed. Then you came out, you looked at renee - dear boy, you havent seen her for 3 weeks, and she seemed like a lil stranger to you. Within seconds, you caught your thoughts, you held out your hands welcoming her.

So we went up. You invited renee into your playroom. Hahaha, so cute. As if you knew it was your house, you wanna show renee around. You made sure she followed you from behind. When you guys reached the room, you guys were so happy. We went down for a delicious dinner. Haha, after that, a.vp & I sat there with jj & kk watching our precious little ones enjoying themselves.

Then we mothers went out for a while leaving you two under the supervision of pp & both kakaks.

When we returned home, renee & you were watching tv. We both hugged you 2. Then we went up to jj's room. So fun. You were so happy that renee was there. It has been quite a while since you met up with your lil friends. You know you have guests in your territory...

Soon we left for supper, leaving my precious boy behind in tears... Dont worry, mummy will bring you out for breakfast tomorrow. Love ya.

Mickey On Ice

I woke up early this morning to prepare everything. I woke u up and bathe u. Then quickly went down and fed you your breakfast. I packed everything and left to pick a.desi & belen.

We stopped at McDonalds for our breakfast. Then we left for Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil. Wow, really nice, it has been a long time since I last went for any concerts. You were so happy running around. I brought out the videocam.

There were so many 'Mickey' merchandises, but we were already late. We went in, daddy was carrying you, it was really dark, you were afraid, you sobbed a little. I quickly hold you. Thank god, I managed to calm you down later.

You sat on my lap. Then daddy wanted to carry you. So you sat with him for a whole good hour. I paid attention on you more than the show. Not to say that the show is no good, but seeing you laugh, seeing you clap to the songs, seeing you cheer worth a million.

Thank god, I brought you here. Lots of people say I'm mad to bring you there at this age. They say you dont understand. You do, you did understand what they were doing.

When nemo comes out, you say "ish ish". When you see them dance to the song, you clapped. When you see them leaving the stage, you waved good bye. When they leave, they would cheer. Hehehe... You cheered so loud, u.rodney who sat in front, looked back.

At that time I thought, I can bring you into the cinema. Hahaha, you concentrated so much.

The Pacifier & Me

The joy of having a pacifier

When u think ONE is not enough....

Let's Move It

Remember mummy told you, you were obsessed to watching dvd? Yes you still are. Although I have added so many varieties to your collection, you still loved the shark's tale & madagascar.

Yesterday while we were playing, I thought of vp & renee. I remembered vp asking renee to sing madagascar - i wanna move it move it, and renee really loved singing it.

So I sang the song. You looked at me and laughed. Everytime I sang the verse, you would stand up and laugh and dance. You danced and moved your hands front and back. Hahaha, it was so so funny, all of us laughed.

Hahaha, thanks to your beloved honey wife, you learnt her way of dancing!!!

Obsessed

I think about 2 months ago, I bought you 2 dvds - Shark's Tale & Madagascar (under the influence of renee). In the beginning, you dont seemed to be interested in both of these.
As time flies, you grew to love them, especially the Shark's Tale (you always loved fish).

Since then, you have been wanting to watch these dvds so often. I think for the past 1 week, I have watched the repeat of this 2 for at least twenty times. Even daddy was complaining. pp told me she can tell me which fish swam out from which angle. hhahaha.

It has became so bad, that the moment you open your eyes, you would point at the tv and say "ish ish ish ish" Wow... You are so obsessed to it. And everytime, I would on it and watch it with you. Sometimes I really wonder whether you actually understand what's going on. You do, when the whale screamed, you would pat on your chest telling me you are scared...

In order to make things easier for me, I bought you another 2 dvds - Finding Nemo & Lion King. Hmm... I think I will have the whole collection of animations before you are 2.

The Masterpiece

I have been trying to let you draw scribble. Everytime you scribble on the paper, I'll draw a fish, sometimes a cat, stars & sun. About 3 weeks ago, while you were in the office, I gave you paper and a marker pen. Then you pointed at your paper and started saying "ish, ish, ish, ish, ish"

I didnt understand what. Then again, I realised you were trying to tell me that you drew a fish. Hahahaha, I laughed and thought to myself, my little boy is so clever.

Anyway, I wanted to share with you all. So I got him to draw another one. I took a picture and posted it here.

Well, my dearest ray ern, although this looked nothing like a fish, to me it's a MASTERPIECE!!

Blow the Candles

You were in the office almost the whole day. pp needed a new hair style, so she dropped you here and off she went to the salon. So I drove you out for a ride. I went to this bakery, I saw a fairly cute cake. It's about 6" in diameter. So cute, I bought it. You kept on pointing at the cake in the car. Dear you have to wait till we get back to the office.

When we reached the office, I took it out and sang happy birthday. You clapped your hands (you do that everytime you hear this song), and when the song ended, you blew the cake. Hahaha...

We'll have to wait another 7 months before you can really blow tha candles... So cute.

Teenie Weenie Vocabulary

I know you are trying to speak these days. You have been "eee aaa ooo-ing" all these while. It seemed like you were talking to me - in your baby language. Daddy said I'm mad to talk to you. Well, I told him, it's our language. I understand.... deep inside.

Not much real words, just a few...

1) mmmmaaa - that's you calling me
2) bbbohhh - ball
3) ish - fish
4) tith - please
5) woooo wooo - dog
6) chih chih - pacifier

Hahaha, more to come!!!

Callin' You

I like this picture of you & daddy. I took this for you while waiting for the other 2 yaps family to come last Sunday in KLCC. Daddy smiled so widely and your yawn is so adorable.

Oh I have been making so many calls back home everyday at work since the day you called me. I asked pp to pass you the phone and pp will say call mummy, "mmmmaa". Then I will laugh so much in the office until kk looked at me.

Daddy is getting envious, or should I say jealous. Everyday, he comes home to see you and will ask you to call daddy. But my dearest boy will end up calling "mmmmaa". I know you'll soon start to call daddy, pp, kk & jj.... Just be patient!!!

This is just a new bag daddy bought for you, and you loved it.

At Last....

After I went home to bathe, daddy sent me back to pp's house. I called out for you, I heard kk said "Ehh... mummy wo, call mummy la. maa mee..." Then I heard your sweet voice yelling "mmmma" I was so so happy, I thought it was just another word but when I went up to you, I said "RayErn, call mummy" You replied, "mmmma" emphasizing on the mmm....

Oh god, I was so so happy. You have been learning things so fast, but when it comes to talking, you are really slow. My heart really melted. Well, people might find me crazy saying this, but having your own son calling you, it's better than winning a 20 million dollar lottery.

Dearest boy, I already miss you!!!
