Uaua's Masterpiece

A priceless piece of art by my nephew Joshua - notice the very curly hair of Ethan ;p

Party of 5!

Ever since we left secondary school which was waaaaaaaaaay back in 1989 (that was 19 years ago and yes you can do your maths and say I am old!! hahaha), we seldom get to meet each other due to either being apart because of our studies, work or family. But it is always nice to know that when we do get together we are still like the old days. Chirpy and excited to catch up with one another and of coz there was no escape from digging the past and teasing each other too ;p Recently, one of our dear friends, Ina, was back in town for the Raya celebration. As usual she invited us noisy lot to her open house. Indeed besides the yummy food and cookies it was such a happy and enjoyable get together. Funny how we still act and talk like we were back in school even Ina's mum and sis said so - still the noisy lot hahaha...but of coz we have grown more mature (hopefully heee..) and of coz extra kilos here and there especially moi haha...but Ina and Nicky are exceptional as they both have teenagers yet they are looking fantabulous!! You go gurllssss!! ;p

Nicky, Wek, Mitch, Me & Ethan and Ina

While his mommy was busy chatting with all the aunties, Ethan was playing with a spread of toys especially the ones with wheels borrowed from Ina's not so little ones heee...bless you Ina ;p

The party of 5 +1 :)

16 months

Our precious Ethan turns 1 year 4 months today.

• His weights around 11kg
• He "baby" talks a lot
• He can walk with us holding only one of this hands now
• Climbing may soon be his next discovery as I do notice him trying to climb up the sofa a few times
• He pays longer attention and seems to enjoy watching his Hi-5 and Elmo vcds more
• He is more attentive especially when he hears the gate at PIL's being open - he will "talk" to PILs as if he is telling them that someone is home and sometimes will request to have a peep at the window to see who is home :)
• He understands and can identify car clearly, be it a real or cartoon car - on the road, on his shirt, on telly, on a book
• He likes to pick up the house phone and starts to speak as if he is talking to someone
• He wants me to give him a big hug before I leave him at PIL's for work
• He has 7 incisors to date
• He drinks 180ml milk 4-5 times a day
• He is still on porridge twice a day and will sometimes join us during our meals
• He can switch on the telly and take out the cds/vcds/dvds from the player

We began as strangers....

...We became friends.

We became one with each other...

We remain as one forever.

To the one I love,

There's a special place in my heart

that only you can touch -

a place where I can go and feel you near.

Throughout the the day I think of you.

I see you smile, hear your voice

and in my thoughts you lovingly appear.

The way we love each other

makes it hard to be apart

so when I can't hold you in my arms

I hold you in my heart

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary with all my love darling...

Tired and frustrated

Ethan loves to turn the wheels of his car or train toys or anything that he can turn or spin...here's a video of him trying to spin the cap of his thermometer...watch how he got frustrated (with a big sigh...) and tired till he dropped himself on the bed after a few tries hehehe...

Jewel of the Js Family

One of our dear colleagues, Jo, who is the wifey of Mr. Badak gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with a lot of number 8 on her baby's birthdate i.e. 28.08.2008 at 1.08pm. What a lucky girl she is eh and a cutie too! :) Anyway, we joined her parents together with their family and friends to celebrate Jewel's fullmoon last Saturday at the Js' residence. Baby Jewel Trinity is such a lovely baby as I don't remember her making a fuss throughout the party when Ethan and myself was there...and I'm glad that Ethan is friendly with most people so I can let them take turn to carry him coz as I previously mentioned before his 11kg weight is a bit too heavy for me after a short while especially when hubby was not present ;p

Look who's in town

If you have been following my blog, you must have read about my entries on Adam and Fara here, and here. They are based in KL but since it is Raya season, SIL and the little ones (BIL can't make it due to work commitments) came back to celebrate the Raya festival with SIL's family. So what better time to let the children get together and spend some time with each other when SIL brought the children to PIL's last Sunday :) Adam will turn 1 year old this October so he is about 4 months younger than Ethan while Fara will turn 5 years olds next January.
