1st Day of CNY


For the last few years, we have been spending at least 3/4 of the day at home. Well, my parents are the eldest among their siblings and all my grandparents are no longer around. Hence, we will be at home waiting for all my uncles, aunties and cousins to come over.

Every year, we will start the morning serving tea to our parents. And, we have to do it the traditional way. That means, on our knees with a cup of tea. We will exchange a few good wishes before my parents give us our angpow. This year is more complete coz my brother is married, and my sister, hubby & the boys are around during that morning, which is the first time since my sister got married. Thus, we quickly served our parents tea, and took some photos. We didn't managed to take any family photo as my sister, hubby & the boys have to leave for Seremban to visit her in-laws relatives.

This is also my very first time giving out angpow. My mum said that I need to give angpow to my godson, Shan Rae. And of course, I will be giving to Shan Leo too. So, here goes my very first angpow!

In the afternoon, all my uncles, aunties, cousins, nephews & niece came. It is really nice to see almost all my nephews & niece, except for Nicholas. So, I quickly grab my camera and took some photos of the kids. Shan Leo had a great time playing with YuanYi, while Kieran is quite on his own. Kieran is really cool & almost any of us can carry him around *yipee*

As for the youngest two, Shan Rae & Elsa, they didn't even know each other existence as they were just too young. Elsa is 7 months old, and she looks like a Japanese doll. So cutey!

Here are more photos of the day. Kong Hei Fatt Choy!

Reunion Dinner


Our reunion dinner this year is so much more merrier because our uncle (my dad's youngest brother) family joined us. The only missing part is the boys with their daddy & mummy who can't join us *sob, sob*
We have been dining out for our reunion dinner the last 2 years, and my mum loves it. More so, after my sister got married and don't spend CNY eve with us, it makes little sense to cook a feast. Besides, my mum have to cook for our relatives on 1st day of CNY and our "new year" lunch on the 2nd day. So, dining out for our reunion dinner is the only time my mum can escape a little.

This is also the first year, my SIL Chloe joined us for reunion dinner.

A Sweet Surprise


Can you recognise this pretty lil' girl? Well, she is Shan Leo's new friend, and her name is Ashley. Sounds familiar? *hehe* I guess most of you will guess it right, Ashley is Barbara's little chumsy. We bumped into each other at One Utama shopping mall.

Barbara recognized Shan Rae and approached my mum who was carrying Shan Rae then. Mummy was walking in with Shan Leo next. When I finally walked in, I saw them talking. Well, this briefly described how I met Barbara, my fellow blogger friend for the first time!!! Isn't this a small world?

Shan Rae's "Fortune Cat" Style Bye Bye

Check it out yourself! Shan Rae have his own unique way of saying Bye Bye! First, we have to hold his hand. Next, he will wave Bye Bye just like a "Fortune Cat"!!! Really, really cute!!! We were so amused by it that we kept making Shan Rae wave Bye Bye to everyone. Guess we have over used it that he no longer wants to do it. Luckily, I managed to capture a short video of it *hehe*

The Boys @ 9 Months Old


Both the boys are wearing the same shirt. This is one good thing to have 2 boys - they can share clothes! I mean Shan Rae will wear more hand-me-downs...and Shan Leo more new clothes!!! *hehe* But don't worry, I won't let that happen all the time!!! Shan Rae needs new clothes as well. That is why mummy set-up lil' twinkle.

Shan Rae @ 9 Months


At 9 months old, Shan Rae loves to explore. The moment we put him down, he will crawl all over the place and try to stand. He likes to "play" with kor kor. And to kor kor, that means snatching or disturbing him *hehe* Luckily kor kor will also play with Shan Rae.

Shan Rae has 5 teeth now, and the moment mummy says "milk, milk", he will be very excited with his hands & legs moving very fast *hehe* I am delighted to say that he is eating well finally. Well, at least he eats, and he loves his rice crackers and fruits a lot.

Shan Rae is very close to mummy. The moment he hears mummy voice around, he will turn around and look for mummy. Same goes to daddy. At times, he will "talk" to us (if you understand what I mean when I says "talk").

One thing which we don't understand is - Shan Rae hates it when we change his clothes. He will scream his lungs out most of the time *scratching head* So, it is really difficult for us to try on clothes for him.

Shan Rae is sleeping much lesser now. He can really "tahan" for long hours *sigh* That means we have less time to do our own things. He is a light sleeper, and hence when he is asleep, we will try as much not to touch or move him around.

In another 3 months, Shan Rae will be one. We are planning something for him, and hope everything goes as plan. Right now, I only wish for Shan Rae's speedy recovery from his flu. Poor boy!

Sick Ah!


Shan Leo is sick! Shan Rae is sick! Pre-CNY sickness!!! The boys went to see Doc twice. Doc says Shan Leo is wheezing, and gave him a dose of nabuliser to clear his airway. Well, Shan Leo was really good. He followed Doc's instructions, and happily ate all his medicine for his cough & phlegm. Shan Leo is definitely different when it comes to eating medicine. He will eat medicine as though he is eating sweets!!! He will ask for the flavour of the medicine, smell it & licked the measurement cup cleaned!!! *beh tahan*

As for Shan Rae, he is having a bad flu. He couldn't breathe well at night. Thus, Doc gave him a nasal spray and medicine. Well, I wouldn't say he likes to eat his medicine, but ok lar!

So, no shopping for us this weekend *sob, sob* Luckily, we have bought all the boys clothes for CNY... Now, we wish for the boys speedy recovery so they will have a Happy Chinese New Year!

CNY Deco @ The Curve & Ikano


CNY is fast approaching!!! I guess this year, I won't be able to bring the boys to take photos at all the bigger malls in town.

Last Saturday, we took the boys to The Curve & Ikano. Deco is quite nice. Look at how happy the boys are. All the photos are really nice. And this round, I managed to capture quite a number of photos of just the boys. Nice, nice, nice! *hehe* Check out the boys funny expression!

Besides that, do also check out how Shan Leo posed for the photos again! This is definitely a great time to take as much photo of Shan Leo possible coz he is so natural in front of the camera!

Congratulations to Mike & Peggy!


Here is to congratulate my cousin, Peggy for marrying her sweetheart, Mike. They got married last September 08' in Singapore, and recently on 3rd Jan 2009, they held their wedding reception in KL for friends & relatives.


The morning itself was a simple tea ceremony for close relatives. The bride & groom were really "cool". They wore matching colour outfits, instead of the regular wedding gowns. At night, Peggy wore a beautiful peach color cheongsam. She was so, so beautiful!!!

Of course, the boys are dressed up as well. Daddy & Shan Leo wore matching shirts & pants, with a suspender belt. And Shan Rae wore a onesie long sleeve with a vest & bow tie. The boys look dashing! Here are the photos for the day! (p/s: It took me more than a week with multiple tries before I successfully uploaded it *phew!*)

Happy New Year 2009


I hope its not too late to wish Happy New Year 2009 to all my fellow bloggers friends and everyone else who reads my blog!!! Well, blame it on the Internet ya *hehe* Anyway, on New Year's day, we went to Thean Hou Temple for Thanksgiving Prayer vegetarian lunch. We thought we were early, but by the time we reached there (11am), the temple is already filled with people & cars! Since, we went in 2 cars and I reached there first with Shan Leo, my mum & aunt, we quickly took some photos. And that is why you don't see much photos of Shan Rae & the rest. The weather was hot, and we can't wait to get back to the car.

So, here are some photos for the day. Shan Leo & the 12 zodiac signs.

Same Pose, Different Feel


We really love this photo of Shan Leo with his t-shirt on his head. He looked so cute! And we think he looks like a Japanese baby. Cute leh? So, we tried to do the same pose for Shan Rae. Well, its totally different outcome!!! *hehe* Shan Rae don't have that "cute genes" like his kor kor. So, we always say, Shan Leo is a cute & chubby baby while Shan Rae is a handsome baby!!! *haha*
