Xavier's Christmas gift from Ah Kong and Ah Ma from Kuching. They are the major financer of the stroller which we bought from Jusco at One Utama. It's a reasonable "Sweet Cherry" brand. This is Xavier's favourite pose!! Head tilt to the right at approx. 45 degree angle and two or three fingers half way in the mouth and STARE at the photographer (that's me!!)

~~~~~CHRISTMAS DAY~~~~~

We had OPEN HOUSE ala potluck on Christmas Day between 12.00noon until 5.00pm. I invited many friends who are mainly in Facebook and some additional sms and emails.. I found that Facebook is very effective as approx. 90% of the guests received and responded to it!! ...yoohoo..

We are grateful for the warmth and cheer brought by our lovely friends on Christmas Day.

Thanks to Mei Han, I have two male reindeer at home... :D

Wonderful Christmas gifts, mainly for Xavier

Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah - 15 December 2008- Official Start Solid Food

I am pleased to announce that I have exclusively breastfeed Xavier for 6 months! So, last month, Dr. Koe gave me a schedule on starting solid which I official opened TODAY at 8.15am. I breastfeed Xavier before I started the solid.

Well, the solid is a mixture of the Heinz Baby First Rice Cereal (1/2 teaspoon) mix with breastmilk (approx. 1 1/2 teaspoon).

I put Xavier on his feeding seat and Bon Appetite!!

This tray is called "Baby Cubes" which I can store breastmilk and pureed food for Xavier. The cube capacity is 2oz. or 70ml. Each tray has 8 cubes. I bought this for RM39.

"Ku Che" and Uncle Edwards' Wedding

6-Dec-08: Steven's sister was getting married on 7-Dec-08. So, for Chinese custom, there will be the so called "Bachelor's party" on the night before, where the relatives and friends will come over to the bride or grooms parents house for dinner and chit-chat. Also, the bride and groom are forbidden to meet on the night before.

7-Dec-08: The Chinese Wedding Ceremony was held on this day. The groom (Edward) came with his gang of guy friends to pick up Steven's sister (Ghyn Nyee). However, the challenge of entering the house was unpredictable as Ghyn Nyee's gang of girl friends came out with challenging ideas for the guys to do.
Well, when the guys manage to go thru the challenges, they and the precious groom were allowed to meet the bride! Then, the couple will have a prayer to the Guan Yin goddess and ancestor worship and followed by tea ceremony. The tea ceremony is where the couple will serve tea for the elders and followed by the children queing up to receive red packets from the couples. After the tea ceremony, the couple left to their own home for another round of tea ceremony for Edward's family members and we have lunch catered from Master Chef Catering Services.

8-Dec-08: WEDDING DINNER: The wedding dinner was held at Bukit Jalil Golf and Country Club at 7.30pm.

Come back queen!!

YES! I am back in action! Since Xavier knew how to turn, he has been practicing alot in grandparents' house on his play gym and at home on his playpen, daddy & mummys' bed and his own bed.

Results:
1) He gets tired after his lifting exercise
2) He found his comfort spot by sleeping on his tummy
3) He sleeps soundly

Bravo Xavier!

KLCC Skybridge!!

Last Saturday (22-Nov-08), Auntie Ah Guek and her 4 kids plus her nephew came to KL. Since I don't have Steven's UNSER to pick up all 6 of them, Auntie Ah Guek decided that her 2 younger kids to tag along with us. So, since it's her 2 kids first time to KL and her long long time ago visit, Xavier and I took them for a tour and I decided to bring them to KLCC since it's a "must" visit place for tourists. I recomended them to the skybridge of the KLCC and told them that they need to go to the counter in the next day morning as the counter opens at 8.00am and ticket collection is first come first serve basis and once the quota is finished, tourists have to come back the next day. The skybridge visiting hours are between 10.00am until 7.00pm. Tourists are allowed to be in the skybridge for 10 mins only. However, we were very lucky as when we were querying at the counter, someone did not collect their 5 tickets and since there were 5 of us, including Xavier as 1 person, we got the opportunity to get to the skybridge! Adults were given tags and kids were given stickers.
When we entered the waiting area, we were given a 5 mins briefing about the KLCC construction, and most important, the owner is PETRONAS> hence Petronas Twin Towers.
Then a super fast lift took us up to the skybridge.


Here we are!
