Feb 22, 2009 - Video Clips of 3 boys at the pool

Feb22, 09 - Jonathan at the pool, while the 2 older brothers having their swimming lesson.






Feb22, 09 - Joshua & Joel having their lesson at 1.2m pool. They have even swam at the 1.8m pool. I think both of them have no idea how DEEP is 1.8m, the moment the jump into the pool, they just start to swim. For me, I always cringed a little the moment they jump into such deep pool, 'cos mummy CAN'T SWIM!! HAHA.

Feb 14, 2009 - Celebrating Valentine's Day at Stamford Ballroom - Uncle Peter's son, Jonathan & Vivi's, wedding

Feb 14, 09 - FINALLY, managed to take a good shot of my darling and me - on 2009 Valentine's Day!

Feb 14, 09 - Joshua, Dick & myself. We only brought along Joshua to the wedding dinner. Actually my mum has brought him to the earlier tea ceremony in the morning.












Joshua - sometimes it's hard to get a nice picture of him, it's like as he grows older, they tend to make funny poses and it just didn't turn out well.













Feb 14, 09 - Edna & Andy.
















Feb14, 09 - Joshua and Isaac. Isaac is the son of Uncle Peter's second son. He likes to play with Joshua and Joel whenever they are around.

Feb14, 09 - Auntie Sally, Uncle Peter's wife. Today also happened to be their wedding anniversary. But didn't manage to get a snapshot of the both of them.

Feb 14, 09 - That day is not only Jonathan & Vivi Ang's wedding day, but it was also Vivi's birthday. Jonathan gave her a surprise by giving her a big heart shaped cake and this big heart that is made of 999 stalk of roses! How romantic he is. And that has become a centre of attraction and attracted a number of people on stage to take a picture (not with the bride) with the heart.

Feb 8, 2009 - Audit check on Jonathan if he still remembers the rules lay down by mummy

Feb 8, 2009 - We have taught Jonathan since young not to touch things that are not his toy, eg. our mobile phone, TV control, etc. So from a tender age of 8 or 9 months, he dare not touch those items. On a couple of occasions, I managed to catch him holding on to TV controller, but the moment he saw me, he quickly roll over to me in his walker to hand me the controller. This is a recent clip just to test if he STILL remembers the rules that were set out for him.

Feb 9, 2009 - Jonathan enjoying his soursop

Feb 9, 2009 - Jonathan 'enjoying' his soursop. See how his face sulk after each bite....

Feb 2, 2009 - Jonathan loves eating chilli shrimp roll and pineapple tarts

Feb 2, 2009 - Jonathan enjoys eating chilli shrimp roll and pineapple tarts.

I would not say the chilli shrimp roll is very spicy, but for a baby, it is considered very spicy. Even Joshua also doesn't dare to try that. I would say, it takes some courage and 'perseverance' to bite into that shrimp roll. Perseverance because you will need to 'tahan' until the spicy hot feeling is gone, and that will take a fair bit of time.

And pineapple tarts seemed like his all-time favourites... haiz, now I have another person 'fighting' to eat pineapples tarts with me liao...

Feb 8, 2009 - Jonathan's pictures updated

Feb 8, 2009 - Jonathan posing himself so nicely infront of camera. Doesn't he looks a bit like '大老板' making poses in front of camera?

Feb8, 2009 - Don't disturb me anymore har, I'm angry already.


Jon must have picked up this bad habit from his brothers. He will actually fold up his arms when he is angry, especially when he didn't get what he wanted, eg. FOOD!

Feb 7, 2009 - Makan session with Dick's colleagues

Feb 7, 2009 - Dick's colleague 'blanja' us dinner at Beach Road and we had steamboat buffet. We brought along Joshua & Joel and Mark brought his son, Keith along.

Seemed like Joshua & Keith hit off well... they love to play games.. haha. I thought all kids are alike ya?









Feb 7, 09 - Joel joined in the picture.

We have Joel, Keith & Joshua posing in front of somebody else's BMW.

2009 Chinese New Year - 恭喜发财

Time really flies. Jonathan was just a few days old a year ago! Now he is, knows how to do 'gong xi gong xi' to collect ang pows!

There were not much house visiting for us, although it is always the norm for us to visit my parents on the 1st day of CNY and Dick's mum on the 2nd day. However, his mum has volunteered to cook us dinner on the 1st day.

This year my dad's siblings gathered at Uncle Peter's house, so we went there for our lunch and stayed through till dinner time, then we left for my mother-in-law's house. Whole day of eating. And uncle's Si Chuan Duck soup is fantastic, although I have managed to drink one bowl after so much food. They had a few rounds of mahjong session but I can only be a spectator. Even though I do not have much thing to do there, I just enjoyed myself there. Somehow I feel closer to my uncles, maybe since young I had been spending time at my grandma's house with my uncles during my school holidays.

2nd day of New Year we went to cousin's house for my mother's side gathering. We were not as close to the relatives there, so none of us actually likes the idea of doing visiting there. But since they are my mum's siblings and Ah Yee is there, so we have decided to go there to 'bai nian'.

Well, Jonathan had been seeing RED for the first 3 days of new year. On the first day, he slipped his hands while crawling on the floor at Uncle Peter's house. He cut his lips and bled. I got a shot when I saw that too, first time seeing him in so much blood. Then on the 2nd day, at mum's place, his daddy was trying to 'show-off' his walking skill, he fell straight down on his face while in standing position! Again, cut his tongue and had one big 'ba lu gu' on his forehead! Then come the 3rd day, his gor gor gave him a somersault kick right on his cheek and it got swollen! What a start of the year for Jonathan! ha.

Anyway, some pictures to share with you ........ and GONG XI GONG XI!!




Jan25, 09 - Jon & Joel preparing to go Gu Gu's house for reunion dinner.

Gu Gu is not feeling well today, so I have running over to help up a little. So paiseh every year we just go there to eat only, only when you have helped out then know how tidious it has been preparing all those food. We had steamboat that day.

January 24, 2009 - Joel's 4th Birthday

We are celebrating Joel's birthday again with a small cake on his actual day. Personally I feel that one should have a birthday cake during the actual day itself.

Happy Birthday, my darling Joel!





Joel in his favourite 'Dinosaur' post again ...

We are brothers ...

Our domestic help took at least 10 min. to meddle with my camera and still ended up with this blurred picture.

Joel is blowing out the candles.

Jonathan 1st Birthday - 13th January 2009

Happy Birthday to Jonathan!

Yes, Jonathan is finally turning ONE on 13th!







13th Jan falls on a Tuesday but both Dick & I took leave to bring Jon out to celebrate. Our usual practice is to bring Jon out to celebrate at Swenson @T2 for their 1st year birthday, which we did so for Joshua & Joel, BUT this round we were a bit lazy to travel that far. Anyway we have to wait for Joel to come back from school, so after his beauty nap, it's too late to travel far anyway.





We went shopping at J8 and ended up New York New York for dinner. We have invited my parents to join us for dinner too. hmmm... why every time when taking family photos cannot see mummy one....







Jonathan kept staring at our food ... that is what happened lately, he keeps thinking our food tastes better than his. In a way, he is right! haha.








Jon & Gong Gong.












May I present..... ta-da.... My 3 handsome masketeers!










My first born... Joshua.

Jonathan's 1st & Joel's 4th Birthday Celebration - January 11, 2009

Jonathan is turning ONE on 13th January 2009 but we have decided to celebrate it on 11th which is a Sunday with Joel's. It is just a small family gathering where we have invited our parents, siblings, uncle Peter and a few closed friends to the party where we held it at our small flat. This is a day where we want our closed relatives and friends to witness our little baby, Jon, has already grown up! And since Joel's birthday is just about 2 weeks away (on 24th Jan), we thought of celebrating it together. Some photos to share with you .....

Another customary practice, Jonathan is holding on to a pen with a book, so that as he grows up he will be very knowledgable. Yes!

For customary practice, Jonathan needs to eat drumstick on his 1st year of birthday, but somehow he doesn't fancy the 'delicacy' we have laid in front of him. We should also give him 'tao gua', but mummy has forgotten to buy lor. aiya, that's for fun only la.

Manage to carry Esther again! See, Esther is smiling so sweetly... she is starting to get comfortable with Dick already... haha.

Joel is sitting at the corner trying to quietly finish his piece of cake, yet a group of us just stood next to him to watch him eat. What a disturbing bunch of people........

Jonathan is happily waiting to eat his birthday cake.

Singing birthday song to Joel and Jonathan...

"Happy Birthday to You... Happy Birthday to You...
Happy Birthday to Joel & Jonathan... Happy Birthday to You!!"

Wishing Joel & Jonathan lots of wisdom and good health for years to come!!

Edna and Mi Mi with Jonathan.

Jonathan with his Jiu Jiu and Mi Mi.

Dick finally managed to 'pian' to carry Esther.

Jonathan with his younger Gu-Gu, Sally.

I have almost forgotten about the party hats I've bought for the boys..... but from Jon's look you can tell that he is not enjoying this moment. I think the frilly thing on the hat must have prick his head and he is frowning.... haha.

Hey, see... Esther is smiling so sweetly at the camera. She is getting prettier by the day.

And this is Esther having her lunch on gor gor's high chair.
Esther is my bao bei 3rd sister, Edna's daughter.

And this Xin Yi feeding Jonathan his lunch, and auntie Wik is his 'high chair'.... keke.

Joshua & Jonathan with Gu-Gu.

Jonathan with Gu-Gu, Shirley. See how happy he is.

Another view of the cake.
This cake design was chosen by Joel, of course, with the dinosaur design. It was originally on a rectangular cake, however, I have it changed to the letter 'J', since their names start with 'J'. Nice right?
