wrapping up, on the last day of the first month

of 2010…

first of all, my phone died on me… my samsung soul died on me for the past 2 weeks, where i couldn’t get to read smses, as the lcd of the slide phone wouldn’t work and i need to slide up and slide down or to power off power on numerous times to get it to work… until mid of this week, i decided that i had enuff and got myself a new phone… nope, its not an iphone… my fingers can’t seems to work on the touchscreen… but i got a nokia e72… and when it comes to phones, black is the only color i’ll go for…

love the qwerty!

 

its also quite a week for megan and us… my parents helping out with the fetching for the past few days and we kinda realised megan is more ok that way (meaning no crying, no throwing of tantrums) and she settle down for dinner at the foodcourt lor… with us, its always crying when she sees us at the childcare, and not wanting to let us have dinner at the foodcourt, and once home, keep throwing tantrums…

anyway, one thing for sure, she still misses us, as while she is with her granparents, she’ll occasionally looked for us…

 

ytd its nicky boy’s b’day and we went over to have a great wet celebration party… by the pool side, that is… here we goes, get ready for the photo bombardment!

BRAKE!… before that, we also went for our gynae visiting… no.2 is now 1 kg!! i wonder, how doc adrian managed to see anything from his pathetic ultrasound machine thingy… but nevertheless, our baby seems bigger this time round… megan was like, stunned or confused when we pointed at the dark round thingy on doc adrain’s screen and said “megan, see, 妹妹, 妹妹...”

and, here we goes, while waiting for joelle, i brought megan down to the void deck to have some photographing time…

 

 

and off we goes… once we reached, i decided, the first thing megan should do, is to ride on this…

why? cuz 1 year ago…

 

 

enuff warm ups, time for the pool… SPLASH!

gosh, her thermal wear is getting tighter and tighter!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and here’s nicky, the birthday boy! his gun looked terrifying, cuz i’m carrying a non-waterproof camera… haa… but still better than the DIVER (you know who you are…)

 

 

this is one cute shot of nicky… notice there is another cutie at the background? thats joelle trying to blash a shot of water at nicky… which of course, also gotten me and my camera… :P

tried… but failed… to get these 2 toddlers to get a pict together… what expression mah? 真是的...

 

and time to get off the pool as its getting late and cold… ball and water, imagine how we get megan out… just imagine…

 

after a tedious dip in the pool, everyone’s hungry and megan is happily munching away her fav…

french fries…

a fulfilling dinner and a little walk with daddy…

 

 

and why these shot of chairs is a must??? cuz 1 year ago… omg, i’m repeating myself… haha…

here comes the cake!!!

 

back when nicky was 1… angie, a third baby when nicky is 3??? keke…

ok, getting them to have a shot together is tough enuff… to get them to have a shot together while blowing the party toy thingy together?? impossible…

 

 

we had a great time and thanks for inviting us, and happy birthday to you, nicky! here’s megan saying “Haphphhphhy Birthhpphhhday!!!”

5 strokes

i realised i had been photographing mainly in portrait and uncontrollably, always tilt my camera to get a portrait shot more than landscape shots… for example…

portrait shots are great, especially when the subject is full of expressions, but it kind of cutting out too much backgrounds. so today, i decided to shoot mainly, sometimes, forcing myself to stay in landscape shooting mode…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i love the next series of megan running shots…

 

 

 

her smiles are always so adorable… but…

 

behind these adorable smiles hides a terrible side of megan… i just came to know of this term “terrible two” from angie… and it all describes the recent tantrum megan keep throwing at us… and its making us so tired and frustrating…

and many times, i had to use the cane since the carrot doesn’t work… cuz, no matter how we coax, how we tried, megan just don’t seem to be satisfied. it almost seems like megan also don’t know what she want! or, almost seems like megan is testing our limits… which is very very private limited nowadays…

and every time, after kanna caned, megan sort of cried it out and settled down wanting milk and then, she slept soundly…

 

leaving me looking at her cane marked legs… feeling sad… she kanna 5 strokes just now… :(
