Wedding Ceremony in church

Today, mummy brought you to the church (The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit) ,my ex-schoolmate, Aunty Catherine, gets married. The ceremony started at 11:30am and we were suppose to be there by 11am. However, you slept until 11:05am :)After changed into your safari overall, we headed to the church. When we reached there, it's already 11:35am, the bride and groom already in the church and the ceremony has started.

You were so excited and you even "scream" and "shout" in the church. Luckily you didn't scream and shout loud :) You were quite cooperate, maybe you were enjoying the song played in the church. During the ceremony, you can't stop yourself from exploring the church. You won't be able to walk around by yourself, so you make daddy to carry you, walk around. Thank god, you didn't insist us to bring your tour around the hall, else we may get chase out from the church. (no no, don't worry, they all are nice people...!)

The ceremony lasted for 30mins, it's a short one. Initially, mummy worried that it will be a long ceremony, i even asked Uncle KT how the ceremony will be as this is mummy's first time attending church wedding. After the ceremony, we had photo taking session. Daddy has to take care you for a while as mummy was busy chit chatting with friends. The lunch reception is right after the church ceremony, however, you didn't get to follow us to the restaurant. We then drop you back to Ah Kong's house.

Luckily we didn't bring you along to the lunch reception as there is some problem with the aircond in Corner Club, all of us feel a bit warm and kept complaining and the place also a bit crowded. But overall, it's ok for us, and i could be not ok for you as you will still sweat when we turn on air cond at home.

I HATE mosquito!!

This morning when i look at you, omigosh...you had one mosquito bite on the right side of your face, so i quickly let daddy look at it. While i put you down into your cot, i noticed, left side of your face also had a small red spot. So quickly, i apply fucicort for you, and....OMIGOSH, there is additional 2 more bites, one at the nose and one at eye lid. Daddy so upset and kept scolding the mosquito!! I think the mosquito must be SUPER HUNGRY and can't find any target as mummy already wake up from the bed(usually mummy is the victim, good in attracting mosquito) so end up, you are the target of the super hungry mosquito. Luckily you very cooperate, you let me wipe your face with warm water and let me apply the cream for you.

Suddenly, i saw you sitting sideway and stop all the activities that you are doing. I guess should be poo poo-ing. And i am right, you poo-pooed! So quickly we change diaper for you and we need to be super careful, as daddy already dress up and ready to go to work....and you are a GOOD boy, you didn't move around like worm, instead you sleep on the bed and let mummy clean your bum bum for you. Hmm, how come you didn't move around when your diaper is off from you? Coz, daddy distracted you with your toy...hahahahaha

Then, daddy brought you down to the car while mummy cleaning up the mess. When i got into the car, you lay in my arm and show me your manja look, SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO SSSSSSWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT!! Make me feel guilty for leaving you at the nursery.

Now is 3:30pm, another 2 hr time, i will on my way to pick you up. See you later, baby!

Follow-Up check-up

hahaha...guess what...yesterday we had a pre-planned short gathering with Evan Koh Koh at Adventist Paed clinic.

We had a "date" with Dr Mary, a follow up check up for your post admission. And so coincident,Evan koh koh also had "date" with Dr Mary for his MMR jab. Night clinic super pack, the waiting area so crowded, so we choose to let you play at the OB waiting area. While daddy playing with you at the OB waiting area, Aunty Angeline walk in with Evan koh koh. We were a bit earlier that Evan koh koh, there is 9 ppl before your turn, and 11 ppl before Evan koh koh.
And...while all of us waiting in Paed waiting area, we suddenly see aunty Cath...here some, she and her 2 lovely daughters.

You were so energetic, kept wanting us to carry you around, and you show us your eagerness to try on the slide. Until one point......i noticed daddy no longer carry you around, instead he let you play with the table...yes, u push and pull the table. Daddy told me he is exhausted, cannot carrying you around. So, mummy took over the carrying role for short while. Luckily, not too long, it's your turn to see Dr Mary.

This time, you didn't make noise when Dr Mary check on you, except you don't feel comfortable when she wanna check on your throat. No pneumococoa jab for you, Dr Mary postpone it to next month.

On our way back, you decided to do something FUN! It's fun for you but not for me :(
You decided to stand up and refuse to sit still on the car seat. Well, you wont be able to stand up by yourself, but you will borrow some strength from others to help you stand up. So, mummy lose to you, i carried you and let you stand by the window. While we were at the traffic light at Pesta, suddenly, you lost balance and your forehead hit on the window. "WAHHHHHHHHH....." you cried out loud. Mummy's heart sank as you never cry so loud when you hit yourself while you were playing. I guess partly because you are tired. Mummy suddenly recall what my colleague told me about letting baby latch on to calm them down while they are crying. And you did stop crying after that, then, you continue to stand by the window and enjoy yourself again.

I hope you will have a wonderful day everyday :)

My new cap

Tuesday, mummy went to QB for lunch with Aunty Angeline and Uncle Ben, coz mummy wanna get you a new cap for tonight's photo session. Aunty Angeline even brought me 2 caps just in case i can't find anyone from QB.

We had lunch at Dome and then proceed to Baby Gap to check out for the cap. Mummy managed to get one while cap for you. Aunty Angeline then said wanna go to have a look at Hallmark, end up, mummy bought you one set of "super valuable, reasonable" shirt and pant. I can't believe it when the cashier told me it's RM10 for the whole set.

We went to France Taipei right after pick you up from nursery. When we reached there, we still ahead of time. Our appointment is at 7pm. Mummy had a slight arguement with the lady, but forget about it, not worth to talk about this lady.

The photographer quite nice. He took quite a lot of your pics. You didn't smile while he took your pic. Well, usually you will show us your cool look when mummy try to take your pic too, so this is expected. Surprises me, you know how to pose yourself. You even lay down on the floor, sleep on your chest. Ended up, the poor photographer koh koh also need to sleep on his chest to take your pic. Then, he asked whether we want to have few naked pic of you or not. OF COURSE, YES!! hahahaha....so quickly, mummy and daddy take off your overall pants, shirt, left only the pull up pant :) I think the session last for about 15 to 20 mins, then you start to whine, look for mummy and show me your hand, want me to carry you. The photographer call off the session before you yell at us...hahahaha

The photo choosing will be on 7.7.07....too bad, it's not 7pm though, it's 2pm. Hmm....wonder how many photos i will choose then :)

This is you with your new Gap cap

By the way, mummy did let you try on the caps that Aunty Angeline borrowed me, guess what, you can't wear it...hahahahaha......

FoR tHe FiRsT tImE ....!

Mummy loves this song very much...We are not going to discuss about this song in this posting...but am going to jot down something about you.

Everything has it's first time:) Yesterday was your FIRST TIME crossing the Penang Bridge ever since you were born. After struggling on where to bring Ah Kong for his belated Father's day celebration, daddy finally suggest why not we go to Prai's Starview for lunch as he kept telling me the 东坡肉 served at Prai Starview is yummie. And mummy never says NO to food, so ALL DONE!

Sunday, after usual phone call from Uncle Kenny, we headed to Prai. You were so excited and won't let anyone carry you, except Ah Kong. As Ah Kong drove along the bridge, you were busy playing with your toys. Mummy has to pack lots of toys for you as you will easily get bored with one toy.

When we were in the restaurant, i was shocked seeing the baby chair that they prepared for you. It was BIG!!! And mummy have to put your bag behind you as cushion for you. As soon as the waitress pass the menu to daddy and mummy, you grab daddy's menu and hold on to it. And....you stared at the waitress while she's talking to us. Your expression sort like "ok, what you plan to recommend to us?" The waitress can't stop looking at you and keep laughing as your facial expression really cute :)

While waiting for the dishes, mummy fed you your yummie lunch prepared by ME :) And, the waitress come back to our table and play with you as you kept looking at her when she walk pass by our table. Hmm...maybe you confuse a bit as her hair look like Aunty Margerat...haha!
Surprises us, you even let her carry you for a short while. While all of us enjoying our lunch, i gave you the baby bite biscuit to keep you occupied. Thank god, you very cooperative, you were busy eating cum playing with the biscuit...so means more outing for you huh! :) Good job, baby!

After lunch, we brought you to Megamall for a short walk. You started to be a bit cranky on the way back as you feel sleepy. As soon as we reach home, we let you change to a more comfy wear and let you sleep...straight, you slept for 2 hrs plus! wow!

My superglue

My little boy now become superglue to me.

Ever since May he become the permanent resident for our QUEEN size bed. He will sleep in between us and worst still, he tend to sleep close to me. End up, i gotta squeeze myself towards his baby cot. Sometime i thought of sleep in his baby cot. U think his cot can take my weight? hahaha!

Nowadays, me and Terence need to wake up a bit earlier than our usual time. Why? Coz this little one, he will wake up whenever he feels that noone is sleeping beside him, then he will start making noise, want us to carry him. So, one of us have to wake up a bit early, shower, then standby just in case he wakes up and look for either of us. Today is the first day i wake up earlier than Terence. Surprise leh, usually i'm the one who will wake up later than Terence. Went to kitchen to prepare some milk just in case Kelvin wakes up and ask for latch while me busy preparing myself for work. Sudden;y i heard crying sound from the room. Geez, little Vin wakes up already. Quickly, i warm the milk and rushed into the room, quickly pop the milk into his mouth. "chup chup chup" within few seconds, he finished the milk and as soon as i pull the bottle away he cried like i beat him badly. So how to calm him down? Our most powerful weapon,



***Scroll down and see**










let him latch on!

Duh...u thought me have any super secret to share is it..haha. He latches for about 5 mins. Geez, he is so hungry huh! Thank god, after that, he goes to his dreamland.

And another challenge is, to wake him up!!! So as soon as i finished with my preparation, i will sing "Good morning to you, good morning to you, good morning Kelvin Boy, good morning to you!!!

Sometime it works and sometime it doesn't. So if he pretend not hearing the song, i have to sit beside him, slowly pat pat his bum bum, rubbing his head.....talking to him to wake him up. Then the daddy will carry him to the car meanwhile me carrying the big bag small bag that contains his and our stuff. Then, we will drop him at nursery.

And, he will become superglue to me again when he wanna sleep at night. Good excuse for me to sleep early too....will tell hubby that i wanna sleep early coz "Vin boy want me to sleep with him" haha! Terence will be away for biz trip in July, i hope i can handle Kelvin ALL BY MYSELF! Wish me luck then!
