1 week old Josh

I finally get to visit and carry my godson for the first time last Friday. When we arrived at Josh's place, he was deep in sleep. He is a very handsome boy who has very stylo hair (his hair always look wet as if it has been styled). Not sure if mummy will shaved it off during the 1st month but it will be such a waste since he has such nice and thick hair.

So enough of talking and let you guys shared the joy of having a newborn entering the world.

BB Josh in the rocker that i brought for him. Hopefully he will like it. Looks very different from the birth picture right?

1st look of my godson. He must be having a sweet dreams since he didn't seem to be bothered by our noises right beside him and was sleeping throughout.

More pictures of the sleeping prince. He still have a bit of juandice. Hopefully he can recover soon.

Finally the sleeping prince is awake. He was actually having hippcups and mummy was trying to make him feel better. While I am there talking to him so he look at me through the side of the eyes. Will try to get a better shot when i visit him again.

Next in line will be my god-daughter (Clara)....another 3 mths to go but i might be going taiwan with my family on May 23. So hopefully clara can cooperate and let me say hi to her before i depart. Otherwise, i can only see her after the trip.

Arrival of Baby Josh

Based on my last entry on my god children's update, BB Josh was scheduled for a check-up on Monday (4 Feb) as contractions was detected during the gynae visit. So Mummy and godma (which is me) was all excited that BB will be arriving on Monday. However, it turned out to be a false alarm.

Godma still prayed that BB Josh will cooperate and arrive as the first baby of the year but again at 8pm, we realise hopes are dashed since mummy has no feeling at all. So mummy and godma was thinking exactly when BB Josh will choose to arrive? Then on 8 Feb, Mummy msg godma at 21:49 to inform her that water bag has burst and they are on the way to hospital. That really got godma excited and thinking that mummy is so accurate as mummy actually guessed BB Josh will arrive on 9 Feb.

Hence, on 9 Feb, 0634, BB Josh say hi to this beautiful world clocking in a weight of 3.305kg and length of 51cm....wow that's consider quite big as Mummy is pretty skinny. Below is an image of BB Josh which mummy mms to godma. So please bear with the resolution as Godma will update more pictures when she visit BB Josh this Friday... Really can't wait to get my hands on the young one.

It was a real coincident that after mummy msg godma, their friend from US call to catch up and was inform of the good news as well. This friend of mummy and godma also just delivered her 2nd baby late last year (if i am not wrong, it is in August or September). So for those who know who she is and like to look how cute and chubby her 2nd BB is. Take a look at the image below:

This is picture of her elder son now. Really cool guy who dun really smile..

That's all on my latest update about my godson. Should have more news and update next week. Stay tune.

CNY Celebrations

As part of custom or should i say practise, day 1 of CNY is always spend at my uncle's house (dad's brother). This year is pretty quiet with everyone just sitting on the sofa and just staring / watching at the rectangle box (ie. TV) in the living room. We are really not close but we just have to go so to let people know that we are still alive and kicking. The reason why it is so quiet is because my cousin just got married last year and so she can no longer hang out with us on the 1st day since she will need to go to her husband's side relatives. Furthermore, my other cousin went back to malaysia to visit his in-laws together with his 3 kids. Hence, it is all very quiet since there is no kids around for us to play with and no common topic between the elders. After that, it is back home for more food and beauty sleep. Imagine the whole family slept from 2pm+ to ard 5+.

Formulae for Day 1 of CNY = BORING + MORE BORING

2nd day of CNY is our usual buffet dinner at my aunt's place (mum's side). Everyone will come back including my cousin who is based in Australia. So the young and old will all report strength for the dinner or else will risk being badmouth / gossip behind the back. Can tell how politics is my family right? But nvm, i don't really mind hanging out since i will see all the younger cousins grow old while we aged. We will also catch up and offer tips to the younger ones as they start to join us in the workforce and compare the benefits between the different fields that we are in. So you can tell it is not that boring afterall right? Plus, there is free food + ang bao why not right? I am so greedy.

Formulae for Day 2 of CNY = A little bit of fun

3rd day of CNY is a bit unusual for me. The reason being i joined my ex-P&Gers in our usual weekly gathering. So i actually finished 2 movies in a day...that's quite a record for me since i am someone who rarely watch movie. The 2 movies that i watched are P.S. I love you & Kung Fu Dung. I actually went with very low expectations for both shows since most of the reviews given was quite low. However, both shows are pretty entertaining i should say. There is many romantic or touching scenes from P.S I love you that will move and cause you to tear a bit. So if u have that special someone with you, this is a show that you can watch during this romantic February. As for Kung Fu Dung, Jay Chou is pretty funny in the show. The basketball and kung fu moves are pretty well done as well. Hence, both shows are pretty value for money.

By the time we finish 2 movies and you think we are done with the day then you are wrong. We continue the night with hours of gaming at Mind Cafes. We played a few games ranging from simple no brainer games to 1 that require us to play use some strategy. The day finally ended at 2:30am and i have to declare to limit this gathering from weekly to monthly or else my transport and entertainment expenses start to explore.

Formulae for Day 3 of CNY = FUN But Super Tired

Day 4 of CNY means that i need to start work tomorrow. How sad can that be? Which mean my long weekend just pass me like that and i actually don't feel that i actually relax and rested well enough. But i guess that how's life is... everything pass and go before u can realise and hold on it. But i should still be contended to not work for the past few days.

That's all, folks. Will update again.

Random Updates

Nothing much happening in my life and hence there is not much to update in my blog. So below are some of the random update in my life over the past weeks:

1. Apart from preparing CNY cookies for our family friends, i was also asked to prepared some CNY lanterns for them. So below are some of the simple creations from me:

2. Got a free hamper from work since they are the displayed pieces from the CNY promo so my boss gave one to me. Yeah.. free bird nest. Above that, this year there are too many hampers for my GM so i heard they will split those that my GM don't want and share it with the office staff via a lucky draw. Hopefully i will be lucky and get a gd prize. so cheapsake hor but again i dun earn alot what so have to be a bit cheapsake mah.

3. Most interesting news of cos...will be my god son will be arriving anytime soon. He is already engage so just waiting for him to give mummy a big kick to burst the water bag and he will arrive to this world and celebrate CNY with us. Though gynae feel that he shd be here before CNY eve but i already told the mummy to bring along the make up kit in case BB decide to wait a while more and make it for the first CNY baby. The sad part for me will be not being able to visit them and welcome BB to the world becos my hse has the practise of praying to "天宫"so our hse has to be clean and for confinement and delivery it is deem as unclean so i can only visit them on 15th Feb. :-( So u can look out for more pictures then.

The funny thing is i am not the one delivering but i am equally excited as well. After my godson then in a few months will be my god daughter turn. What a exciting year ahead...

That's all for now. Wish everyone a very gd "Rat" year and 恭喜发财. Everyone HUAT AH!
