Birthday Celebration

After breakfast, we went by cab to the last day of the seminar and proceeded to hotel for nap time. Dad sneaked out to buy lunch which is spaghetti and wings. We then went out for dinner at Secret Recipe's to have a gd meal. Had a takeaway brownie and a chocolate cake for his birthday back in the hotel room. We hoped he had a great time. Yes, he probably did looking at the way he enjoyed the cakes!

Day 4 KL's Birthday!

Haven't had the time to update for a number of days because Mummy just went back to work and has been busy marking papers. Finally, she cleared them and is back to update the blog.

26 Aug 2007. KL's 3rd birthday. We bought him a Thomas the train remote controlled toy from Isetan Scotts and gave it to him in the morning. He's very happy. Only thing is that Mummy forgot about the screwdriver to insert the batteries and we had to go to a photoshop to borrow one for him. Before that, he was improvising his own way of playing with it and we were worried that it will be spoilt in no time. Soon, Yen woke up and joined us in the photo-taking. That's a real challenge!

Day 3 Twin Towers

25 Aug Sat. We took a cab to KLCC after breakfast. The taxi driver was really friendly and recommended us to go to the underwater aquarium. We took some pictures at the fountain and proceeded to shop at KLCC. We only bought 2 donuts and some fish oil. There were the branded boutiques and Mummy enjoyed the window shopping. After lunch, made our way back by cab. The ride costs RM$10. Then went to collect our spectacles but were told to go back in 5 minutes, so we went Baskin Robins for ice-cream. Back in hotel, the kids had their nap while Daddy went off for seminar. Mummy then brought the kids to Borders and tapaoed dinner back to hotel. Yen was crying a lot and no amount of rocking could appease her. She cried until she fell asleep.

Day 2 Menara Tower

24 August 2007, Friday. We went to recce the station nearest to Menara MGRM and then took the train to Menara Tower where there was a festival for parachuters. We took a cab nearby, where Hard Rock Hotel is, to the tower. Had our lunch there and Ken Lin was so excited to see the parachutes. Went back for nap and then had dinner before Daddy left for the seminar in the evening. Ken Lin kept himself occupied by doing some coloring. Daddy bought home an ice-cream for Mummy as a reward for taking care of the kids :)

KL, here we come! Day 1

Daddy had a seminar to attend in Msia and we decided to bring the whole family, including the maid to Kuala Lumpur. We had also invited Ah Ma to come with us but thanks to Ah Gong who came down with dengue fever and was hospitalised, so she couldn't join us last minute. On 23 Aug (Thu) at around 9am, we boarded a coach from Boon Lay to 2nd link and reached Berjaya Times Square at around 3pm in the afternoon. Ken Lin slept soundly on the coach. Upon arrival, we checked in and went out to get a new pair of spectacles for both Daddy and Mummy. Had Japanese dinner and went Cosmos World for kiddy rides.

Grilles....

Have always resisted installing grilles for our windows.... kind of uglifies the house and gives the feeling of being in jail. However, for the sake of the two kids and the constant nagging of family members and colleagues, we finally fitted grilles on 6 July 2007 and parted with $1.2k. Thanks to the maid who helped clear the toys by the window and curtains, I could take a decent picture. Left Kee Yen to our diagonal neighbour who was also on maternity leave. Thankfully, Kee Yen slept throughout the 2.5 hrs at Auntie Peifeng's place.

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Ken Lin's 3 years old! How time flies! Daddy and Mummy brought a Thomas the Train cake, ordered from Polar Cakes, to school on 22th August(Thursday) to celebrate his birthday. The children had just woken up from nap and were still in a 'zombie-like' state, including Ken Lin. We took a few photos of him with his classmates for this special occasion. He enjoyed arranging the candles all by himself, blowing the candles and cutting the cake :)

Head's Up!

Ken Lin had his first try with lifting up his head at about 2 months. Strangely, I wasn't as enthusiastic about putting Kee Yen on her tummy for long till about one afternoon, I decided to try and she did lift her head, surprisingly, pretty steadily at about 3 mths!

Sarong!

To use or not to use? I had not wanted to put bb in sarong lest he became to dependent on it but on my mil's insistence, I decided to let Ken Lin try it out after he was slightly over 1 month old. Her theory was that the head would be more rounded and that bb would sleep better. Did the same for Kee Yen too when she was about 2 mths old. Picture on left is Ken Lin, on the right is Kee Yen.
