HAPPY CNY 2010

HAPPY CNY 2010

Happy New Year to Everyone! 2 more days and it will be CNY. Our blog (mine and gor gor's) have been inactive for sooo long cos Mummy has been really busy (or pure laziness). There are lots of catching-up needed - from mummy's bday in Nov, X'mas celebration in Dec and our HK Holiday in Dec....

Mummy promises will try to do the catching up soon. Here's gor gor and me saying Gong Xi Gong Xi to everyone in advance.

Sunglasses

2009-11-22T23:55:00.000+08:00

SUNGLASSES

Isabelle loves to follow whatever things Ryan does. Simply put, he is her idol!

The moment we get into the car for our routine weekend adventures, papa and Ryan would automatically take out their sunglasses to wear. Lately, Isabelle would want to do the same as well...... :)

OUR 1st Identical Pyjamas

2009-11-22T23:20:00.002+08:00

OUR 1st Identical Pyjamas

In June this year, I posted a blog on Isabelle's new pyjamas. This little gal has more or less outgrown that as she has grown taller.

I bought 2 new sets of pyjamas for Isabelle while shopping at Takashimaya today. And guess what??? One of the set came with a bigger size (big enough for me to wear too). Needless to say, I bought it immediately while papa just stood there 'speechless'.

I intend to keep these pyjamas till CNY next year so that mother and daughter can both wear the same pyjamas on the eve. How sweet right! :) Papa says he will post the pic of me and Isabelle wearing the same pyjamas on FB for ALL to view. Haha, we shall see.... .... ....

Isabelle - A Different Look

2009-11-09T21:45:00.002+08:00

Isabelle - A Different Look

This morning, I saw a different look of Isabelle.

She hasn't been sleeping well lately and this morning I saw a totally blur look of Isabelle - perhaps I look equally blur myself too as I do not sleep well cos of the frequent waking up at night by her.

Mummy's Birthday

2009-11-04T20:10:00.001+08:00

Mummy's Birthday

Today is mummy's birthday. Papa and mummy both took half a day off from work to bring gor gor and me out for a hi-tea at Fairmont. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY. muack muack. :)

Below are some photos taken by mummy using her phone. More photos will come - papa please hurry.......

T3 Airport

2009-09-20T20:45:00.005+08:00

T3 Airport

Papa decided to have our dinner at T3 airport tonight. Everytime that we are there, papa would says this :"There is probably no other airports in the world that serves both as an international airport as well as a shopping mall / leisure place for families to loiter around".

Indeed, besides having our dinner there, we also manage to do a bit for shopping for everyone. Amazing isn't it?

And the kids love the spacious layout that allow them to run about freely......

Mummy gets so excited taking pic of Isabelle's shoes that she forget to take pics of the new shoes for papa, shawn gor gor, aaron gor gor and even the one for herself..... :(

Chicken Pox

2009-08-29T16:12:00.000+08:00

Chicken Pox (21 - 28 August 2009)

We brought Isabelle to see her PD on 21 Aug 09 noon for her last immunisation jab. That evening, I notice some little red spots at the inner-side of her thighs. Thinking those must be mozzie bits (or perhaps some reaction from today's jab) - hence believed that it would be ok after applying the cream.

Sat morning after her shower, noticed that the red spots are still there - in fact getting slightly bigger. Me, being my usual self - started to feel worried and INSISTED of bringing her back to see her PD (why I say INSISTED cos papa initially thought the red dots were rashes).

Am glad of my maternal instinct - PD confirmed Isabelle is having Chicken Pox (HOW COME??? She had already taken the chicken pox vaccine).

I was fortunate that I was allowed to work from home for the next few days so that I would be able to look after Isabelle myself. Despite the discomfort she is feeling (itchy itchy plus fever), fortunately Isabelle was still very much her usual self and was quite manageable.

Ryan behaved well during this period of time cos he knows that mei mei is not well. And he has been Isabelle's only play mate for this week as chicken pox is contagious hence was unable to bring them out. It is really a joy seeing the 2 of them playing / bonding so well with each other. Thumb up to both kiddos!

My Princess

2009-08-21T08:25:00.001+08:00

My Isabelle - My Princess

Isabelle really behaves very differently from Ryan. While gor gor would normally laze around and lay on the bed like a couch potato in the morning, Isabelle would be 'scouting' around the house the moment she opens her eyes.

This pic was taken this morning by papa. As usual, she is keeping herself amuse / busy / entertain by:

carrying gor gor's water bottle
carrying gor gor's bag of medicine (poor gor gor is not feeling well)
carrying one of mummy's handbags that she took out from the wardrobes

all these done while papa was getting ready to leave home for work and mummy doing her hair-do and make-up ^-^

okie, I am all ready to leave home now!!!

"UP"??

2009-08-08T20:45:00.002+08:00

What's UP??

Papa brought gor gor to watch "UP". I didn't follow cos papa and mummy think that I would not be able to sit still throughout the movie.
So sad but I think they are correct :(

While waiting for papa and gor gor, mummy and I entertained ourselves by shopping, loitering at cafe, making funny faces at each other... ....

TOYS TOYS - here I come

deep in thoughts...... which want to buy???

can't decide, just take first.... ...

would all these be ok with papa and mummy?

ha ha, this is scene 1 of me making funny faces ^-^
cute or not?? There are more below:

Random Musings

2009-08-02T11:30:00.000+08:00

Random Musings

I mention before that I love seeing Isabelle in dresses. It sometimes make me wonder have I been trying to instil too much of my personal fetish of little gal dresses on her?? But I think you would agree with my thoughts after seeing these photos below. Enjoy!

at the Toy'R'us Vivocity... ...

Happily dancing away at gor gor's school music room

By now, you might be wondering - why are most of the pix showing only her back view??

ha ha, cos it is really difficult to take a proper picture of Isabelle now without her coming forward trying to grab the camera from us.

New Pyjamas

2009-06-28T21:00:00.001+08:00

NEW PYJAMAS

Our little Isabelle has grown up! Recently, we notice Isabelle has outgrown her 'bodysuit' type pyjamas. The buttons at the bottom will "burst open" very easily esp. when she squats down.

While shopping at Takashimaya yesterday, mummy saw some really cute and sweet looking pyjamas (they are really very 'girlish' type) and bought them for Isabelle.

Isabelle's new look in her new pyjamas.

The Day when Mummy was Sick

2009-05-17T15:00:00.001+08:00

The Day when Mummy was Sick

Mummy's down with fever and a very very bad sore throat today. So, after been given an injection and a bag of medicines by the doc, papa asked her to go back to her 'dreamy land' and he will take care of me and gor gor.

I know that mummy is sick and I should be a good gal but still.....

after all the fuss, I finally gave up and 'settled down' in my play-pen

too tired to struggle anymore

I missed mummy's smell.... ......

Harness for me??

2009-05-02T21:49:00.000+08:00

Harness for me??

Hurray! I can walk now and so papa and mummy decided to get me a 'Monkey Harness'

Lazy Afternoon at MacDonald

2008-12-08T21:47:00.000+08:00

Lazy Afternoon at MacDonald

Note (from mummy) - It's a public holiday today (Hari Raya Haji), extremely wet and cold day. We took the kids out for lunch at MacDonald and papa as usual bought a kid's meal for Ryan. In the past, it is always Ryan playing with the toy given together with the kid's meal. But today, we see something different. Isabelle 'WANTS' to have the toy. She is able to be more interactive in playing with Ryan and us but she really holds on tight to the toy.

We can see that Ryan is rather upset but still he gives in to his little mei mei at our request (very unlike his usual style had he been playing with his cousins). Today, we see a different Ryan and Isabelle. :)

Naughty Papa & Mummy

My naughty papa n mummy have been trying very hard to capture pics of me sucking my toes and fingers. Ha ha they have not been very successful most of the times. Though they did manage to take a few pics in the end - that's cos I purposely let them to do. It make their day! They were so happy when they manage to do so :)

Ha ha not sucessful. I manage to put down my legs before they click.

Yummy Yummy!

Here they are- still trying... ...

Ops, gotcha!

Isabelle's Full Month Celebration

2008-03-18T21:28:00.000+08:00

ISABELLE's FULL MONTH CELEBRATION
(18 MARCH 2008)

It's Isabelle's full month celebration. Celebration was on 16 March 2008 as it's a Sunday. Kor Kor was exceptionally excited and keep thinking that it is mei mei's birthday.

Our lovely Happy Family photo.

We brought Ryan and Isabelle our for a walk at the new T3 on Isabelle's actual 1 month date (i.e. 18 March 2008). Reason? Cos when Ryan was a month old, we brought him to the airport too, but was at T2 then.

My 3rd Week

2008-03-10T09:22:00.000+08:00

MY 3RD WEEK

Hello, everyone. I am growing well - this is me at 3 weeks old.

Everyone says I look very much like Ryan kor kor, is that so??

Mummy says Kor Kor has a similar photo like this last time too

- the pants being super super big on our little bum. hee heee.....

Siblings' Love

2008-02-27T20:43:00.001+08:00

Siblings' Love

Note (from mummy) : Some old folks always say that they will be sibling rivalry/jealousy when the little one is born, which is very common in reality. Fortunately for us, Ryan has been showering lots of love on his little sister. He loves to call her 'mei mei Isabelle'.....
Children, we love you!

Sleeping safe and sound in kor kor's arms.

My 2nd Week

My First Studio Photo (20 Feb 2008)

2008-02-20T15:30:00.002+08:00

MY FIRST STUDIO PHOTO (20 FEB 2008)

I had my first studio photo taken at TMC. I'm cute right?

Afternote (by mummy) - we signed up this studio photo package for Isabelle. We are supposed to have 1 photo taken in the hospital (which is this photo) and another 2 more shots (one when I am 6 months old and the other one when I turn 1 year old). But BAD NEWS!! The studio 'close shop' (i.e. shut down permanently) shortly after this photo was taken. Felt so cheated.....

At the Hospital (18 - 20 Feb 2008)

2008-02-20T14:50:00.000+08:00

At the Hospital (18 - 20 Feb 2008)

Ryan kor kor decided to stay over at the hospital to celebrate my arrival to the family. I dun mind that but I think papa n mummy really got a bad headache. Ryan kor kor has been watching cartoon, eating, watching cartoon, eating..... non-stop thru-out the stay. Of course he tried to do his part by wanting to carry me, patting me to sleep. Though he was not as gentle as mummy but I do enjoy his presence alot.

Little Isabelle just had her feed.

This is how papa n mummy made kor kor practised before he is allowed to carry me.

Kor kor finally 'master' the skill. Hurray!

Our happy family photo. But badly taken, where am I?

Guess what is my kor kor doing? Peeping at me, naughty!
