Dinner at Starview restaurant

Today, we had our dinner at Starview Restaurant, thanks to both ee-poh for paying the bill. It's the advance birthday celebration for the kids, as second ee-poh going back to Vietnam on the next day. (Eldest ee por is in colorful dress and second ee poh is in red dress.)

To my surprise, lil Kaitlyn wallop the shark fin soup without saying NO. This is her first time taking the soup and she didn't reject it AT ALL. ** No expensive no eat, duh! what a high maintenance daughter* As for Kelvin, he just loves shark fin soup and he actually ask for more. But we dare not overdose him with shark fin soup, need to keep his stomach for other food.

By the time we recalled that we hasn't take any pic, it's almost towards the end of the dinner. We had an enjoyable dinner and everyone entered the restaurant with empty stomach and leave the restaurant with FULL stomach.
Next, it's photo taking time. We get all kids to pose for us to take pic.
Little Kelvin show us his cheeky look. Little Kaitlyn shows us 无奈 look. Little Le Le (my cousin's daughter) show us blur blur look.

Yummie bun

While Kelvin busy playing the shape sorter that i bought for Kaitlyn's birthday, my little princess is sitting beside him enjoying eating bun. She looks at how the brother play with the shape sorter while eating her bun.

Family lunch at E&O Hotel

It's public holiday and since 2nd aunt is back from Vietnam, so we decided to go to E&O for buffet lunch. We packed lunch for Kaitlyn and headed to the hotel around 11:40am.

We reached the hotel around 12:10pm and it's quite crowded in the restaurant. Luckily mummy did reservation on the day before as there's 11 of us. As soon as we all get seated, and before we can start with our appertizer, we need to make sure our little queen's tummy being filled up with some food as it's already past her usual lunch time. Mummy feed you your porridge and you keep telling me "mum mum" as soon as you see your porridge. As for my little king, hubb take her walk around the restaurant to do a survey what he wants to eat. At the end, he shortlisted his favourite food, BUTTER and BREAD!

I filled up half of Kaitlyn's tummy, then pass the feeding task to my mom and i proceed to filled up my own tummy. Although it was my xth times to have buffet there, so far the food quality still well maintained.

Kaitlyn finished all the porridge that i brought from home, and yet she still keep asking for food when she sees us eating. Luckily i spare some baby rice biscuit for her, at least the biscuit can keep her occupy for whort while. She ate 5 biscuits on top of her porridge. Even though she eats quite a lot, but she doesn't gain much weght. I guess this is due to she's too active.

As for Kelvin, he's more interested with playing at promenade instead of having meal in the restaurant.

For me, of course i enjoy eating the food. LOL! 3 of us, dad mom and me take turn to take care Kaitlyn while hubb busy entertaining Kelvin, so i get chance to enjoy my meal. We stayed in the restaurant until 2:30pm then headed home. By the time we home, 2 of the kids almost exhausted. Yummie, it's a happy lunch for all of us!

Dinner with the Goh Family

Today, Jasmine and her parents come all the way from Hong Kong. Uncle James told daddy that he will bring you along to airport to pick up Jasmine and the rest and both daddy and mummy will meet with you us at his house around 7pm for dinner.

So where to go for dinner? We are going for Nyonya food at the Hai Nan Town at Weld Quay area. We reached the restaurant close to 8pm and the rest of the Goh family members are there waiting for us. Food are quite delicious and both you and Jasmine being seated side by side. While waiting for food to be served, you were busy walking and running around, and not forgetting to ask us to bring you to see ferry. Luckily the waiting time is short and very fast, we get to start our dinner.

As you can see from the pic below, the pic already give everyone an idea how delicious the food is. Uncle Peow specially order fried egg with tomato for you and Jasmine. For the rest of us, we had loh bak, sambal petai, curry, and other types of nyonya food. Yummie.

After dinner, each of us had dessert! What's the dessert that we have? It's mummy's favourite. It's black glutinous rice with coconut milk! Yum Yum, i had daddy's portion as well! After dessert, it's close to 10pm and It's time to go home as all of us need to work and you need to go to school on the nest day. We need to drag you from the place as you keep insisting want to see ferry.

The little bread boy

You told us that you are hungry AFTER DINNER! And you ask for bread with margarine. In fact, you want to eat the margarine more than the bread. At the same time, you refuse to let any of us prepare the bread for you, you insist to us "Kelvin do it!". So we let you mess up with the bread and margarine, however, we need to keep an eye on you to make sure you will spread the margarine on the bread and not directly into your mouth.You enjoy the bread that prepared by yourself and yummie! So next time you can prepare bread for mummy to bring to work.

My First Solid

Everything has it's first time....So it's our first time with....
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
For the first time....i let my little darling taste on other food besides breastmilk!

It's Heinz rice cereal mix with breastmilk. Kaitlyn seems quite like it as she doesn't reject when i put the first feed into her mouth. I still remember the time i fed Kelvin with his first solid. Both of us sweat a lot! But this time with Kaitlyn, we sweat a bit only. Reason is...i am feeding Kaitlyn in the living room with the air cond on!! Whereas for Kelvin time, i am feeding him at the dining table with air cond! LOL!

This time, the experience is really different. Maybe i have more experience handling baby's first solid? The moment i put the spoon with rice cereal into Kaitlyn's mouth, she swallow the rice cereal. Cool ! She has been showing sign of interest on food since 4 months old and his ped told me in fact i can start feeding her with solind by 4th month, but we decided to delay her solid til she is almost 6 months old. And i can't wait any further as i am seeing Kaitlyn has strong sign of "mummy i am ready for solid!". I borrowed the bumboo seat from Evan's mummy and we are all ready to go with the challenge!

Dear baby,
After you wake up from your afternoon nap, mummy decided to give you a try on rice cereal. I dress you light as afraid you may sweat during the feeding. And in fact, before the feeding, you start to sweat a bit. Maybe you can't wait to try on the new food, so you keep kicking in the bumboo seat.

The moment mummy put the first feed into your mouth, you swallow the rice cereal, what a good start! So mummy keep feeding you and everyone was so excited seeing you taking your first solid!You even take the spoon from mummy and put it into your mouth. I guess you can't wait for mummy's feeding speed, and you want to speeed up the feeding. LOL!

I am so happy seeing you enjoy the rice cereal, we will try it again tomorrow!

Lunch with mummy's friends

Mummy has usual yearly gathering with my ex-colleagues from Dell. And as usual, you and daddy get to go for the gathering together . The more the merrier what!

We wake up quite late and since we are going for lunch with friends, thus, we skipped our breakfast. We dropped mei mei at ah ma's house then headed to QBM. You enjoy the food very well and after food, uncle James took some of your pics. Again, you showed us different type of facial expression.

After food, it's almost your nap time but you refuse to go home. You run around in QBM for a while while daddy went to get his car. Luckily you didn't make any noise when i drag you out from the mall. You fall asleep in the car while we were on our way back to ah Kong's house.

It's tea time!

Kelvin and Kaitlyn's nursery off for 3 days and both of them back to school on 4th day of CNY. Since me and my mom are members of The Heritage club from E&O hotel, and we have complimentary vouchers for Afternoon tea at 1895.

Since Kelvin is in school, so i asked hubb to pick up Kelvin from school and meet me, Kaitlyn,my parents and second aunt went to E&O. Before everything start, my dear little girl decided to make some noise to get everyone's attention! *slapped forehead* She decided to scream out of her lung, telling us that she wants to have her afternoon milk too! So quickly i warm up her milk and feed her, but she refused to take it, so poor grandma has to bring her out from 1895 and bring her walk around outside 1895 so that she wont disturb others enjoying their afternoon tea. Phew, luckily after a while, she decided to cooperate with us and goes to her lala-land and enjoy her sleep in her baby basket.

We started enjoying our peaceful tea and afternoon snack while waiting for Kelvin and hubb to join us. After a while, here come this little boy, running into 1895 restaurant and greet me, "mummy, i am here!". 1895 is sort of more "high class" restaurant in E&O, everyone there talk softly, except for us, LOL! First, it started with Kaitlyn's crying noise and then follow by Kelvin's cheerful sound. With this little one around, how can you talk softly. He started to run around and greet all the waiters and waitress in the restaurant, ask us to bring him out as he want to see the sea, want to see the canon! Yes, he still remember there is canon at the promenade area. He has been there for few occasion - Kaitlyn's full moon and also lunch with family members. So...the morale of the story is, do not lie to the kid, they have better memory than us! LOL!

So, ah kong quickly finish his snack and bring his precious grandson out to the promenade area. I quickly enjoy my scone and meet the grandpa and grandson out there. And so coincident, i saw there is lots of trishaw parked outside of the grandball room entrace of the hotel and i quickly grab the chance to introduce trishaw to Kelvin and let him sit on it. My grandma always told me that she used to bring me along with trishaw and nowadays our kid hardly, or never will have chance to sit on trishaw, so how could i miss this golden opportunity to let Kelvin sit on it. He looks a bit nervous when i put him on it, haha!
After that, as usual, a wild running at promenade area and again he asked for photo with his this big big canon! A short wild running and playing at the promenade area and then we gotta pull this guy back, else he will keep running wild until sunset and sunrise again!

We have one free stay at the hotel, and still can't decide when we want to use it, i guess Kelvin will be the most happy person if we claim for the free stay, he will gets to run non stop at the promenade area then.

I love veggie

For whatever reason, you love cauliflower and broccoli very much. However, we need to steam the veggie real soft for you so that you will enjoy it. Look, this is how you enjoy your cauliflower.I used to steam cauliflower, broccoli , french beans and carrot for you to bring to school before the arrival of mei mei. However, ever since the arrival of mei mei, every morning, mummy is just like fire fighting, no time to prepare any food for you to bring to school. I know i know, this is just my excuse to be lazy, mummy will try my best to wake up a bit earlier and prepare something for you to bring along to school.

I do enjoy looking at you eating those veggie.Whenever you see veggie on dining table, you will sure ask us to let you have a try on them. Of course, if it's spicy, we will not let you try on it, still too early to let you try on spicy food. Usually most kids prefer meat over veggie, but for your case, it's the other way round. You dislike meat, like mother like son huh!

Yogurt time

Every morning, mummy will give you one yogurt before sending you to nursery. And you love it so much. Every morning as soon as wake up from sleep, you will tell me, "mummy, i want yogurt." This is a pic of you holding your yogurt with sleepy look.Mummy bought you Nestle yogurt before and you don't seems enjoy eating it. Thus, mummy switch to Calciyum yogurt and you love it so much. Usually it comes with 8 in one pack, with 4 flavors, strawberry, vanilla mango and grape. You love all of them soooo much.

Sometimes, whenever you see me open the fridge's door, you will run to the kitchen and keep telling me "yogurt yogurt!", then mummy need to distract you with other thing and keep reminding you, "sweetie, you can only take one yogurt per day!" and daddy will quickly bring you out from the kitchen. haha!

My mummy so happy today

Mummy super happy today…u know why??? Let me tell you...

This morning on our way to Fook Chiew kopitiam for breakfast, she received phone call from aunty Angeline, after the phone call, she has GOOD appetite!!
I wonder what aunty angeline told her.

And when we got back, Ah Ma told mummy that her friend drop by and give her a big bag of ampula…
I have no idea what is ampula, and this is the pic of ampula


Mummy can’t wait to eat it, and the fruit look so cute, and I asked for a bite…
Ta daaa…I love the taste and the smell…so I asked for more and more and more from mummy. Me and mummy enjoy eating it and daddy gave us a funny look, HAHAHAHA! And daddy keep warning mummy don’t take too much, else later mummy will complain gastric, tummyache, headache, hairache…..mummy has lots of all sorts of ache recently!!

Thank aunty Angeline for the ampula!

Beach again and My first Japanese dinner

This is a backdated post for our family outing on 3rd Feb.

Today, the weather quite nice, so daddy decided to bring me to the beach again. This is my second time to the beach and i started to enjoy playing at the beach. This time, i get to walk to the water, kick the water...It's so fun!

After playing at the beach at Penang Swimming Club, daddy and mummy decided to go for Japanese dinner. It's my first time trying on Japanese food. We went to Sumida Japanese Restaurant at Tanjong Tokong. **Mummy want to take my pic, let me do some funny face**Since it's my first trip there, so i have hard time to figure out what i want to order. So...i leave it to mummy to decide for me since daddy and mummy been there before. At last, we decided to go for a bento set and udon.
I ate some salmon from mummy's bento, some udon from daddy and also chawan mushi from mummy. Yummie...i love those food very much. I ate til my tummy very big. Daddy and mummy take their own sweet time eating their dinner, so since i eat too full and nothing better to do, so i decided to walk around.

And guess what. i found something it's so interesting in the restaurant. I don't know what it's call, but i do see such thing in our house and ah kong's house. I noticed that everytime when mummy or ah mah turn this stick, the blind will move up or down. However, no matter how i turn it, the blind seems not moving. Maybe i need to wait til i grow bigger then only able to do it. DUH! So so so dissapointed. So, i walked back and disturb daddy and mummy.

Then, daddy quickly finished his noddle and accompany me walking around in the restaurant. See, daddy so hurry til he doesn't wear his shoes properly. It's my turn to "teach" him how to wear the shoes properly.Finally, mummy done with her big bento set! Yes, mummy eat a lot! HAHA! Then, what's next? Back to our home sweet home to Zzzzzzzz...

Everytime when daddy want to unlock the car, Daddy will let me stand on the car. YEAH! I am taller than everyone!

Strawberry, errm..

Mummy bought the strawberry from Tesco, want to let you try on it, and this is how you "enjoy" eating it, with super sour face , haha!

Don't worry, baby, mummy sure one day u will love eating strawberry and keep ask for more!

First time in swimming pool

Mummy has been thinking to bring you for a swimming session few months ago. But somehow, mummy doesn't have the opportunity to bring you play in water...until yesterday, i told daddy that i WANT to let you wear on your mickey swim suit that i bought when you were 10 mths old and bring you to Penang Swimming Club to play water!You woke up from your afternoon nap at 5:10pm, and thanks to our dear doggies, their noise woke you up, else mummy not sure what time you will wake up from your nap. So quickly, we change ourselves and off, we headed to Penang Swimming Club.

Today's weather quite nice as there is lots of people by the beach. When we were at the Club House, wow, lots of people in the pool, both adult and baby pool. And guess what? We met Jing Ee mei mei, but too bad, she already done with her water playing session, so both of you don't get to play water together. Aunty Asher said next time we can date each other for water playing session!

Actually the water a bit cold and when daddy bring you down into the pool, initially you a bit reluctant to go into the water. Daddy then let you walk into the water slowly, step by step, and very fast, you start to enjoy yourself! You keep moving around as if you are swimming around the pool by yourself. Mummy gave you the arm float but you refuse to use it, so poor daddy need to carry you and move around in the water.

You get so excited seeing so many ke ke and che che in the pool, and you keep walk towards them. Mummy and daddy need to keep drag you further from them as we afraid they might accidentally kick your face. And when the water splash onto your face, it doesn't seems to bother you, you just use your hand to wipe your face. Too bad, mummy forgot to bring along some toy for you to play in the water. You keep going after other people's ball. Ok, ok, next time mummy will remember to bring some toy for you to play in the pool huh

We played in the pool for around 30 mins then daddy decided to call the day off. Luckily we don't have any hard time pulling you out from the pool! good job baby, you behave very well...so this make us want to bring you for another swimming session in near future. Next Tue? Hmm...Since it's public holiday!

Since there is only daddy, mummy and you, so mummy need to shower you alone in the ladies. No choice. Luckily you very cooperative with mummy. And we both survived!!! Mummy even managed to wash your hair for you. Mummy quickly towel dry your hair and your body so that you won't catch cold, then bring you out to meet with daddy so that mummy can take my shower and have our dinner at the Captain's Desk restaurant. Daddy waiting for us outside the ladies with worry face, and proudly, mummy told him that we managed to survive without any problem!!!

Quickly, i shower myself and meet with you guys as i'm hungry!! Mummy ordered kid spaghetti for you, fried rice for daddy and hot dog sandwich for myself. To my surprise, you even know how to slurrrrppp the spaghetti in without any noise. Other than that, you even remain in your high chair throughout the dinner. Daddy and mummy manage to have an uninterrupted, peaceful dinner! GOOD JOB baby! After dinner, we went to library for a while before we headed back to our home sweet home.

Cheese stick??

You used to have the cheese kids stick from Arla as your snack during the weekend. And, so coincident, you had the last cheese stick before you vommitted on that day. And daddy said it was the cheese that causes the tummy upset, but mummy don't think so. Daddy's statement made mummy feel so bad and guilty, but since the tummy upset happen more than a day, so i am sure it's not related to the cheese.

Shall we resume back the cheese eating schedule? Everytime when mummy feed you the cheese, you will keep asking for it and you love it soooo much!! Time to refill the cheese sticks!

Yum yum, i love food

Daddy wonder why you love bread so much....the reason is, bread is one of mummy's favourite food!! Hahaha!

Besides bread, you love pau too. Sometimes, we will buy you a pau for supper. Of course, you still don't get to eat the entire pau, you only get to eat the pau without the filling as we afraid the filling used for the pau is not fresh. However, you still enjoying eating it, i guess could be the gravy of the pau make you love it.
This is you, eating pau at night, and taking your bread on the next morning. **Don't misunderstood, my lil boy take the pau and bread at different time although both pics show the same pyjamas.**

Wow, Eating again!

Today, you ate a lot. You had your dinner pretty late, you had it around 7:30pm. Not long after dinner, daddy brought you to kitchen and you saw bread on dining table, then you asked for it by keep saying "mum mum". Daddy gave some to you as you keep asking for it. Then you continue to play with your toy happily.

On our way back, daddy and mummy decided to have supper, and mummy requested daddy to buy you a small pau. Since there is not more small pau available, daddy bought you a char siew pau. When we reached home, you can't wait to eat your pau. You keep telling daddy "mum mum". While daddy feeding you the pau, he can't cope with your eating speed as daddy need to peel the outer layer of the pau, and also make sure there isn't any big piece of meat attached to the pau that he's feeding you....and you, eating the pau happily! And when you finish eating it, you still keep shouting "mum mum" when you see daddy stop feeding you anything. Baby, you finish the char siew pau already, nothing else for you to eat, my dear. **We didn't let you eat the filling, you only get to eat the pau, maybe that's why you don't have sense of satisfaction huh!**

It's bed time!! Mummy then asked daddy to bring you into the room while i prepare milk for you. And to our surprise, you finished the 4.5oz of milk, then go to Zzzzzland happily!

Wow wow wow, from around 7:30pm until 9pm, you ate porridge, bread, char siew pau and milk....good good! But, aunty Sharon warn mummy not to give supper too often to you til become habit . Supper actually no good for our healthy. Ok ok, don't angry, don't cry, don't shout, daddy and mummy will try to find something else which is more nutritious for you to have as supper IF you really hungry huh!

Your first breakfast by yourself!

Usually mummy will buy mee suah and share with you, however, last Sunday we decided to bring you to town for breakfast. Off we went to the kopitiam somewhere nearby New World Park for koay teow thng, and who knows, effective Oct 07, they will off on Sunday..duh!! So, we went to another kopitiam off Burma Road for breakfast.

Mummy ordered a plate of chee cheong fun for you. Well, it's pretty plain, without the prawn paste of course!!! While waiting for our chee cheong fun, you decided to make friend with the guy who stand beside us. You touches his shirt, duh! Naughty you. Finally, we get our chee cheong fun.

Excitedly, mummy started to feed you, first bite, to my surprise, you love it so much and keep ask for more. Mummy can't cope with your speed. And you will scream if i'm slow. You ate almost more than 1 chee cheong fun and daddy said we better stop feeding you as he already gave you one slice of Gardenia bread in the morning. Wow, you eat a lot huh! And that's not the end of the story, while we stop feeding you, you scream out loud, ask for more, daddy has to carry you away while mummy quickly finish my breakfast. Then, we headed back to ah Kong's house.

Lil sweetie, this is what you had except the prawn paste and sweet sauce, yours are plain chee cheing fun. But u love it soooooooooo much!

Yummie homemade Yogurt!

Yesterday evening was your First time trying PK HOMEMADE yogurt. Eh...mummy made the yogurt? No no no, mummy not so expert in doing it, it's mummy's friend, aunty Poh Kien made the yogurt and she passes some to mummy. Thanks, aunty Poh Kien :)

Mummy so excited to let you try on it. When i gave you the first scoop, you show me sour face, but..when mummy asked " You want some more?" To my surprise, you open your mouth, showing intention to have more. Cool ! I feed you more and more and more until i feel that you have enough of it. Yummie huh!

Later at night, Ah Kong said you poo-ed a lot...hmm....the yogurt make you poo a lot? Hmm, am not sure, but anyhow, yogurt is good for you. Mummy will get some avocado later and add in for you, let's have fun eating yogurt tonight again! :)

Mummy, bring me food!

"Mum mum, mum mum!" Don't get this wrong, my little boy not calling me mum, instead he is asking for food! Nowadays, whenever he sees us eating, he will crawl to us and keep saying "mum mum!" Id we are eating bread or apple, then we will let him have some share, then he will eat it happily and clap his hand!

Every morning, daddy will cook cereal for mummy. And nowadays, you get to eat some from daddy's cup. We notice you show interest on our cereal recently as whenever we drink our cereal, you will look at us. So, 2 days ago, mummy decided to give a try. I asked daddy to feed you some and per our expectation, you didn't reject it. I think basically the cereal taste almost same as your Heinz rice cereal.

Everyday, mummy will prepare a small slice of Gardenia wholemeal bread for you to eat during tea break. I noticed that, you will only finish the bread if it's Gardenia wholemeal. If i give you other type, for sure i will see some left over in the container. You know what brand of bread to eat huh!

am not sure what is your weight now as i carry you day in day out, so hard to tell whether you gain a lot or not. Hahaha, what a blur mum huh! What i hope is, you will eat well, sleep well, grow well and last by not least poo-poo well too!
