Hello Lantern Festival

Perhaps it was the fading memories of my last horrendous visit to the Cheena Garden during Lantern festival many many years back that prompted me to bring the whole family there again. After so many years I would expect the traffic control would be better. I realized I was dead wrong when we were caught in the jam to the carpark for 1 hour....only to find out the carpark is packed full.

8:45PM was the time we finally managed to park our cars.

Turns out the festival should be renamed "Hello Lantern Festival" with all the Hello Kitty "lanterns" everywhere. There was Hello Kitty in a F1 car; a Hello Kitty on the podium; a Hello Kitty on a boat. OMG the organizers totally went ga-ga with Hello Kitty and gang! Whatever happened to da traditional cheena cheena lanterns? The Chang-er and bunnies? Chinese deities? No? I can accept a bit of Hello Kitty but the whole park of it is kind of monotonous after a while. Especially when you start to find all of them the same, just in different positions and backdrop.

Cost us 15 bucks per person. Never going back there ever again!

Jae enjoyed herself very much!

Jae's Studio Shots

As promised...

Significant Milestone

Jae has been learning to walk and she's enjoying every moment of it. In fact, she's able to step her foot forward as early as 5mth old.

Unfortunately, she's been too impatient. The moment we pull her up, she will run and totally forgotten the balancing act!

Nowadays, it's been tough bringing her out. She's reluntant to be carried or even sit in her stroller. She prefer to get down and walk, and she likes daddy and mummy holding each of her little hand and walk. She looks so sweet whenever she do that and never fail to attract people's attention. She will walk, smile at people, wave at them and doing the friend kiss action just like a Miss Universe!

Look whose on the wheel!

YES! It's PaPa! Finally!
It was almost half a decade late! Mummy has been driving and nagging at the same time all these while. So it was only when I'm 9mths pregnant, he finally sign up for his 1st theory test and it took him 1 freaking year to get his ass onto the driver seat.

Anyway, ever since papa got his licence a month ago, mummy and Jae have been happily sitting at the passenger seat singing songs together, playing together, watching video together and even sleeping together...

We are happy! :O

First post from my Omnia

It was love at first sight! This phone is so powerful and nothing can compare with it, not even iphone! I shall not say much, if u do a search in the net, you will find many satisfied owners.
Short and sweet post as this is my 1sr post from my beloved Omnia!

:) I'm happy!

Stay Still and Smile!

I pity Sean, the photographer because wifey did not forewarn him the little kid of mine simply does not stay still for anything. Wifey somehow got a contact for kids' photographer and decided to take up the package months ago. 

We thought it's a good idea until we realize it mean 3 hours of coaxing, carrying, feeding, making funny noises and swinging baby chair, all for the sake of catching Jae's attention to face the camera, stay still and smile. 

In the end I think we caught a couple a good shots. Especially those with the little one smiling at her daddy who is making noises behind the uncle with the camera. 

If they are good enough I might post a few up here. Stay tuned.

A Funny Conversation

Swimming instructor: "Wow the way she kicks is amazing!"

Mum: "Ya she could be the female version of Michael Phelps."

Swimming instructor: "Don't forget my 1% if that ever happens...you know Michael is worthed 100 millions now?!"

*Laughter all round.

That was the conversation in the pool on Wed, along with 4 more mummies and their little ones. We have been religiously bringing Jae to water confident/basic swimming lessons at Aquaduck for the past 3-4 months. Now Jae loves the pool so muc

h she's always a little happier every Wednesday. So we decided to let her continue for a couple more months and see how things goes. 

Although I will never hope my little one can one day become a great swimmer, the prospect of retiring from my job and become my daughter's manager sure is a tempting thought. Heehee.

Just kidding.

Jae's Eleven!

First post by little Jae. Really!

Children

Thursday, July 06, 2006
...aka monster/life-force sucker. I remembered talking about it some time ago. My stand on this issue is still the same; kids? Kill me instead.

But I have been wondering: what would make me want to have kids?

Can you picture me holding a baby?

No stop that. Let's work on a list of possible/impossible scenario where I might consider procreating these monsters:

1. OPPSS...
2. When it actually turns out to be legal to keep children in the double-walled, sound insulated household shelter.
3. When it is possible to clone myself and make a better version of me.
4. When our dear Leeder wants to adopt my son..
5. When I turn 35...make that 40...hell 50...I mean...
6. Cable TV, internet, computer cease to exist, suddenly.
7. When the primal nature in me got turned on one day much like the way I decided to get married
8. When the day parents will no longer have to fight against each other to get their kids into a respectable school
9. When I marry Angelina...no wait I am already married!
10. When the question of "what for" finally gets answered...somehow.

And this was was what Daddy wrote shortly after 1 year later...

Daddy or Papa

Wednesday, October 10, 2007
...or simply dad? This is one of the questions that came to mind that will become relevant in time to come. I don't know really. Maybe "Pap" will sound a little more closer.

So far fatherhood has been strange. Strange in the sense I would rush home from work so that I can spend some time carrying her, even though she's asleep most of the time. That alone makes my hard day at work worth it. She has become a channel for me to take work off my mind for a few hours.

Feeding has become sort of familiar. The only I can't do myself now is express my own milk. Other than that everything is pretty easy. I think the hardest part is still waking up in the middle of the night to feed the baby. If I managed to feel the kick from wifey the next hardest thing will be to keep awake while feeding the baby.

I love her smell. It opens with a powdery bubbly note and sometimes ends with a hint of fish. It's the best perfume in the world!! :P

:)

Ooossppp!

What have I done? How come it's back to the old and ugly template. I want back the sweet little blue template.... Pa Pa, Help! Change back! change back! I want blue, that's my favourite colour!

Planning a Legacy

When we talk about Legacy, we used to think of writing a "Will" and how we want our Estate to be distributed to our loved ones. If you have watch enough drama and news, you will see how family breakdown fighting over the dead man's money. Even with "Will" written, it can still be revoked and debated with. It's really sad to see all these bad example.

I think Legacy planning is a beautiful thing to do. I believe it is more than just writing a Will and updating it each year. It should be passing down of the family values to the next generation and the next next generation and more generations to come. Telling stories of one's life and becoming a Legend in the family. Isn't it sweet to have your great great great grand children reading about your stories during your lifetime. Now, in the world of technology, it is simply possible by just blogging. Thanks to whoever created blogspot!

It's sad that I didn't get to know my Grandpa, I was not even born and nor my Grandma since she passed away when I was just 4 years old. I can't remember my childhood, only some old photos to remind of the past. And here a picture of daddy and mummy when we are about 1 year old.

Daddy

Mummy

I want Jae to know everything about her childhood, I want her to remember us and her grandparents when we pass on and hopefully she will continue writing too continue this legacy...
