CNY 2009 - Chor 5 & 6

After collecting all the Ang Pau from local relatives, its time we go further north for mama's aunties and uncle's Ang Pau. Last year we did not manage to visit them during 2008 CNY as Nigel was born and mama is on confinement.

On chor 5 morning, we departed early to Ipoh on 3 separate cars for dim sum breakfast prior to our first destination, Taiping to meet up with Tua Yee Poh and Tua Yee Kung and Eddie uncle with his overwieght dog, Peanut. Nancy aunty is so hardworking and started work liao, so we missed the opportunity to met up on CNY. I really enjoy myself here playing with Peanut. Titi like peanut very much too.

Second Destination is Bagan Serai for Tua Kong and family. What catches my eyes was the antique Stroller which Tua kong have at home. And the stroller is still in good condition. It can withstand the weight of Nigel (you know lah, Nigel very heavy wan) and also my "QC". Dont play play.





Final or last destination is Kuala Kurau. Now, listen carefully, This is the place where mama and everyone grows up. The remembrance of the place holds deeply with them on each segment of shops, roads, schools, houses, streams, long kang and etc. Sei Yee Poh still staying in this hometown.

CNY 2009 - Chor 1

Gong Xi Fah Chai Everyone.... I am very sorry if my update comes a bit late... very sorry. But can't help it, cause my photographer and editor (which is my papa) is on vacation.

As usual, we woke up early. (Aren't we supposed to wake up early and go kai-kai ????) Guess is because papa and mama is still not ready for us yet. Mama is busy assisting mah-mah in the kitchen and papa is cleaning and adjusting the car seat arrangement.

Since today is CNY, I kiss and wish papa and mama Gong Xi Fah Chai and pocketed a big fat Ang Pau FIRST... Yahoooo. Did you get yours ??? I did the same to Nigel too. Then we proceed to pom-pom and change to our new year clothing. All red-red, and "ang-ang".

Our 2009 CNY - Chor Yat itinery:

9.30 am - breakfast in Hun Thong Uncle house in the morning with popo;

10.30 am- returned home to have early lunch with Pak-pak and yan-yan jia-jia together with mah-mah. After lunch, we started our ang pow collection trip.

12.00pm - We started off by going to my Sok Kong house at Taman Desa

1.30pm - then to Ku Poh house at USJ2 ,

4.00pm - Yee Poh House at Sea Park,

5.30pm - Kau Kong House at SS2,

7.30pm - Dinner with Kau Kong and family at Aman Suria " The Spice of India". We have indian food on CNY as we did not made any reservation early, so we opt for Indian food lor...which no prior reservation required...

9.30pm - Visit Lilian aunty's house at Sunway Damansara as last stop where we have met all uncle and aunties of mah-mah.

11pm - Reach home and Zzzz

All-in-all, it have been a very tiring day for us .... nonstop visitation and ang pau collection...... even my papa mama have never experienced to visit so many relatives a day. From 9.30 am till 11 pm ...

New House

Nigel and myself have a new house. Which is an upgrade from our previous tent (pls see : http://vivianlum.blogspot.com/2008/07/home-retreat.html). This house is cool and spacious with "sky view" window on both side ...

You probably dont understand Sky View Window leh ..... Let Nigel show you what is Sky View window ...... kekekeke. Your house dont have one leh ......






I like this house very much too... Now we have a great hide-out and a great place to snooze ....





Even my mama envy us and decided to try our New House with Sky View Window......



Thank you Auntie Sook Ling for the cool presie.... owe you a kiss, please claim it from us when you see us next time... K

Nigel's First Birthday

Yesterday was Jayden's fullmoon birthday party and today we are celebrating Nigel very first birthday. We did not celebrate Nigel's fullmoon last year because my yeh-yeh was hospitalised at that time and I remember that when anyone asked where is yeh-yeh...i will answer them yeh-yeh oik-oik (means sleeping). We still miss him very much. Just too bad he did not manage to enjoy the free and easy life like mah-mah now....

Papa is busy the whole night serving his McCallan to everyone, while mama is ensuring all the food and drink is well served and ready for guest. As for me, I make sure all the younger kids occupied with games, toys and play. Birthday boy, he is not doing anything, but smiling and laughing.... what a team we are. Hope all the guest enjoy themselves truthly.

Papa mama has catered the whole lok-lok truck and satay guy to serve the guest to ensure cukup makan for everyone. One of the most important thingy to mention is the gigantic Jelly cake that papa bought for Nigel. It is 9 kgs heavy and has over papa's budget. My Birthday will be soon, papa will have to equal those or higher now ... kekeke

Look at all the presie that Nigel receive, so many ...... Shhhhh, some I will insist that it's mine, or uncle aunties give to me, since Nigel is still too young to know and understand. hahahahahaha that's the beauty of being elder. Some of you will understand me. keekekkee

p/s would like to thank you, Uncle Siew Keat for being a wonderful Camera man for the night and Ian and CH jia-jia for collecting the heavy Jelly cake from Ikano.

Jayden's Full Moon

Aunty Jun Ling invited our family to her home for her 2nd new born baby's fullmoon. His name is Jayden. Unfortunately, I did not have the chance to see him as he was Oik-oik / sleeping the whole night thru. Sorry no pictures here.



But we have so much fun and good time there with CF kor kor and Jasper Kor kor also joins in the fun. Jasper Kor kor is now more out-going and daring.

Nigel Titi also have a good time in Aunty Jun Ling's house. He is so busy moving here and there not to mention touching everywhere. We are so worried about him that papa mama and kakak have to 100% concentrate on him....

We enjoying ourself in Shopping

Today, both Nigel and myself behaved very well. You see we sit quietly and Nigel again show off his walking skills to papa and mama. Both of them are so proud that Nigel can Walk before his Birthday. I think papa and mama just want to show off only..... kekekekee.

Well, I am also very proud of him, as this is really a great development. Guess, I will be able to walk with Nigel more often. I sayang sayang my Nigel so much. Since Nigel can Walk, mama have promised Nigel to buy him an expensive Branded Shoe for his effort. Yahoooooo.... We go SHOPPING.

This may not be your normal Shopping routine, but definately its ours..... Both Nigel and myself loves to going on Merry Go Round... Even mama now prepares small change prior to
SHOPPING.

Like every CNY coming, papa and mama is also very stressed out to purchase things here and there. For themselves, for Nigel and myself, and also for Popo, Mah Mah, Uncles, Aunties, Jia-jia, Titi and etc etc....... We have had another Marathon Shopping to our delight and Nigel is now walking together with us instead of sitting on stroller.

Guess this year CNY will be grand and happy for all. Sorry everyone, can talk much now... need to catch some sleep. The SHOPPING is pretty tiring.

Nigel's growing teeth

My bro, Nigel now have six teeth. All his teeth is so obvious to be seen each time he gives a big laugh and he likes to give big laugh.

One of the big different between us when we are young is that I like to bite people while Nigel is very friendly and very seldom bite people. (This statement is from papa who has yet to try the real Nigel...if asked kakak and mama...sure there will diagree what papa have said....kekeke.I am not trying to defend myself but i just wanna tell the truth...)

Nigel also have a very big appetite, he loves to eat, eat, eat and munch, munch, munch. And I love to share my food with him.... ahemmmm actually not entirely share half half lah.... maybe 10% ...... or less.

Anyway, its quite funny, mostly baby have more teeth in the lower teeth than upper teeth.
