Smiley Kayden

He's always happy to be on the floor.. But he's like a cleaner, trying to stuff everything into his mouth..

NOW u SEE it, NOW u DON'T. What is it about? His eyes... hehe..




This is the bridge pose I mentioned before.. He's trying to stand up on his own, but still unable to support his upper body up.. My dad said he may be able to walk on his own when he's 9mths+. Cos that's what happened to my dad, he was walking without support at 9mths+ too. Scientific way of saying, the baby is intelligent. Myth way of saying, the baby will be having a tough life.

The cats Moved Place

Oh yes.. Maomao and Kiki officially moved place yesterday.. hehe.. Just from indoor to outdoor.. I moved them outside my house.. There's any family who lived the other end of my storey loved them too.. They let them into their house and fed them.. So nice of the Malay neighbours..

Maomao and Kiki were still very attached to me.. They would follow us downstairs, or when we're back from outside, as I made the secret code btwn me n the cats, they would rush down to welcome us home..

How sweet they are... keke..

A day spent happily (finally)

Morning went market to do some simple marketing, as my old best friend, Xiangling be coming over to have lunch.. Today's lunch menu - Char Kway Teow.

Kayden was happy playing, smiling and kicking with her. hehe.. He tried a few attempts to stand up by himself too, however, he still couldn't really balance his upper body when he straightened his both legs. So the pose was like a bridge. hehe..
Kayden just couldn't keep still.

Although Xiangling came for just a couple of hours as she had to go for praying with her family, but I felt true friendship from her. After I confided to her about my problems weeks ago, she came to my house and brought the chocolate muffins I had asked from her many times!! hehe..

After she had left, we brought the kittens out for a run. Maomao was very strict with Kiki, she won't let Kiki run out of her sight. Whenever Kiki tried to run and hide in one of the holes at the void deck, Maomao would run over and smacked Kiki and meowed loudly at her. Kiki, of course, she would follow quietly, obediently behind Maomao to return beside me. & Kayden would get excited seeing the cats running about.. hehe..
This is Kiki, trying to act sad after being scolded..

Kiki was very mischievious, when Maomao was resting beside me on the bench, she would try to hid her mother from bottom. Maomao was very steady, she simply ignored Kiki's poking and continued her sleep. hehe.. Now, I'd let Kiki and Maomao spent more time outdoor, slowly letting Kiki learnt more about true cat skills. They were very smart, when they were hungry, no matter how far they had gone, they would still find their way back home.. Lovely cats...

Went to visit my loving grandpa (Saturday)

Brought the 2 boys along to visit my grandpa with my parents in the late afternoon. This visit, my 2 brothers didn't follow. Both had own appointments. Kayden was "performing" his crawling skill by chasing after his box of biscuits. hehe.. While Kieron was busy "performing" his mischief skills. haha..

My grandpa and dad were happy to see the 2 boys' performances. My dad used to be a very harsh, stern and loud man when we were young. He hardly carried us nor we had the chance to climb up and down his body. The only thing we did to his body was plucking his white hairs. hehe.. However, after Kieron was borned, now with Kayden's arrival, my dad changed. He became loving, cheerful and friendlier. He would carry the boys, letting Kieron do mischief things to him. Even when he tried to scold Kieron, it was never loud or demanding.. Oh... Thinking back to my days, hahaha.. Canes, brooms, slaps.. Everything..

My grandpa had always been a sweet man. He's 80++yrs old now.. He would ask about our recent doings, even crack jokes yo.. In my heart, he's a faithful man to my grandma, who's always so calm, so kind, so patient, so intelligent man. He's a total opposite of my dad's character. hehe..

Outing in Pram - Kayden's 1st time

This morning had a fine weather, cooling breeze with warm sunshine. So I decided to bring the boys for a walk at the park..

Seeing the pram not in use since Kieron's time, so I thought of trying it out on Kayden today. Kayden was curious about the pram, when I pushed him down the slopes, he was laughing all the way. Kieron was happily pushing the pram around in the park too..

However, Kayden got grouchy after awhile when Kieron's playing at the playground. He wasn't used to sitting and sleeping in the pram. He was turning and tossing throwin a little temper, so we tried to push him around. He fell asleep..

My next try after so many years, pushing a pram to the supermarket. AIYO!!!! It's so troublesome, not only blocking people's way, also I can't move as fast as I wanted lor.. Opps. haha.. Whenever he's in my sarong, I could hold 2 handful of bags, holding Kieron at the same time but walking in a faster pace. With a pram, I still had to look for non curb edges so I don't have to move the shopping bags and pram up and down..

AFter this trip, I made a serious decision. Pram only to the park but not anywhere else.. hahaha..

5th Sept 2008 - A lovely day!

5th Sept is Jason's 29th birthday.. It's our first time celebrating as a family.. hehe.. For the past few years, he's in the camp having reservist, finally, this year he's with us, and having Kayden as a new member in our family. Just so sweet.. hehe..

It's Kieron's first time singing to his daddy "Happy Birthday" song too. It's just so heartwarming.. Although Jason seemed to have a cold front, but his smile was filled with happiness.. Although we had many problems to overcome now, but we're still together as a family..

A happy "Men"'s photo. hehe..



Candle blowing, Kieron asked daddy a qs "我可以帮你吹吗？" He's so excited abt the cake since the day we ordered the cake. He even tried to cut a slice of the cake before Daddy got home. haha..


Cake cutting. Kayden looked so funny with his eyes closed, as if implying "I'm not interested, please leave me alone"

Kieron finally got his bite of the cake. He wiped off all the fresh cream on the cake. hehe..

Kayden don't really like the cake, he rejected the chocolate mousse after 2 feeds. Same like his dad, cake rejecters. Kieron and I, cake lovers. haha..

The boys playing "Choo Choo Train". Just like how I played with my 2 younger brothers when we were at Kieron's age. hehe.. Can't imagine 20+yrs later, I can see my own kids playing the same thing as I did.

Yummy kuehs

I had been eating this yummy Fried Yam Kueh since small small time. Mummy would make for us during Sundays when this seasonal yam in market. We would fight over the kuehs if Mummy did not make enough for the 3 of us. hehe..

As we got older, I would wanna join in the fun of kneading the yam paste and shaping the paste into strange designs. & each of us would eat the designs we made ourselves.. Memories, sweet and delicious. hehe..

Ever since Mummy started her food stall business, she hardly had the time to make for us, maybe once or twice in a year. Til few days ago, she knew I missed this kuehs so much, she bought some yam for me.. I made them myself today! hehe..

After eating 20yrs+ of Yam kuehs made by my mum, this is my very first time making it all by myself, from cooking, mixing, kneading and frying.. Abit excited and worried.. But the kuehs were really delicious. I made alot of different designs too.. Fish, balls, batman's eye mask, sausage, french fries, heart and donuts shapes.. hehehe.. Oh... I missed those days..


Seeing Kieron enjoying the kuehs made me think back. I used to enjoy my mum's Fried Yam Kuehs, now it's his turn enjoying it. Will this recipe be continue in the future generations? Dun noe..


You may not have seen this outside. It's truly yummy. hehe..

Some lovely photos taken long time ago

Do you believe these ballerinas are older than me? hehe.. They had been around long before I was borned. They used to be displayed in the altar at my grandma's hs. But, after my grandparents moved 10+yrs ago, the ballerinas moved too, to my youngest uncle's house. Time passed, environment changed, people changed, but memories and histories won't change. Last year, My grandpa moved out of my uncle's house after my grandma left us few yrs ago. & the ballerinas accompanied my grandpa over. Whenever I saw them on my grandpa's cupboard, all kinds of memories and emotions came up in me, from the brain to the heart. Good things don't last, but I hope these ballerinas will last, cos they "witnessed" many happenings around us, they are just like a time recorder.


Don't you think he's a lovely boy?He's really chubby and big built. He'd just turned 1yr old 2wks ago.He's Edison, younger cousin brother of James's (Kieron's best friend). He just started walking on his own too. A very adorable and lovable boy. Whenever I see him, I have an urge of pinching his cheeks. haha..

My Little Potato -- Kayden at 6mths 1wk old.

hehe.. You may think it's crude to call own son a potato. hehe..

But, to me, it's unique.. Kayden is smaller in size but quick in learning. Just like a small potato, round but able to bud in short period of time. Both have same characteristics. hehe..



Taken this morning when wanna change him before goin to causeway pt.
Kayden : "I'm going out soon, Mummy gonna get me dress up.."

Kayden : "Mummy so slow, keep take photos, I shall wear myself!"

He's happily crawling around, BITING... Me, at the back, CATCHING.. -_-"'

Kayden is REALLY a kiasu boy

Remembered my earlier post about Kayden official start of crawling? haha..

Just now he was really a mischievious boy. He woke up from his nightmares at 8pm, and he played all the way till 11pm then went to bed again. He was with me all the time, sitting, crawling beside me on the sofa while I was watching Taiwan's variety show. This little boy tried to stand up while holding onto the sofa's cushion. When I shouted "Kayden, sit down!" He turned around, smiled at me and fell back on his butt. haha..

After a while, I let his dad carry him while I handled the cats. This boy tried to be funny. This was what he did. I wondering what's he "gan jiong" with? hahaha..See how happy he was!He climbed up all by himself.

Lao da.. Here's the curry you said you wanted to have as well.. haha.. Yummy ah... Specially mixed curry spices. Thick and delicious.
My cute little Kiki.. She's getting attached to me now.. She will want me to play with her whenever she sees me.. Soon, I will let her stay outside of the house, as she's old enough to fend for herself..
Kayden and his new cap. Bought by my mum.. Nice ya.. keke.. Had different looks with both sides of the cap. Kayden is a vainpot as well, when I carried him to the mirror with his new cap on. He was smiling and screaming. hehe..

Kieron and his new Motorbike

Kieron's grandpa got him a rechargeable motorbike from the 7th lunar mth dinner a couple of weeks ago. Hubby went to collect the bike, Kieron was so excited about it. & He said he wanna give Kiki a ride as well. haha.. But Kiki was petrified. She jumped off the bike the moment Kieron started the engine. It's too loud for the poor kitten. hehe..

& Kayden will try to chase after Kieron's bike in his own walker. Just so funny boys..

Kayden amazing progress

Kayden crawled out and sat up on his own officially!


When we went to stay overnight at mum's hs yesterday, Kayden crawled out using his knees instead of using hands to move and knees to push forward. Officially, yesterday was his very first time crawling in the standard way. haha.. & earlier in the afternoon, he's able to sit up and position upright all by himself.

He's so noisy when we're out shopping at causeway pt in the evening.. He's so excited that he went screaming and waving his hands wherever we went. Even at Pastamania for dinner, he couldn't sit still, cos he tried to snatch the food. hehe.. So only gave him some mashed banana from my mum's banana pizza, and tomato puree from my spaghetti, of course, his fav snack 旺仔小馒头.

I like this shot. Just so funny. keke..

Actually both of them were on my laps, "Riding horse". hehe.. Playful siblings.
