the "hate us for having cute babies" gang

the meeting of bernice and megan... had been talking about it since last week when emily (joelle's colleague) organised a gathering at her place... judy, joey and eling were kinda 'demanding' joelle to bring megan cuz it's quite some time since they last seen megan... pssst, i'm also being asked to bring megan to my office too... :P

anyway, last nite, i was on duty and fed megan at 3am+ and since then, i couldn't go back to sleep... and surf net play game till 8am... made myself coffee and watched the last few episodes of LOST season 4... and at the end of the show... i'm still feeling lost... why don't these shows come to an end??

and... megan is ready to go... all nicely bathed and dressed...

P1010209

however, she don't look very pleased thou... then only i realised, we over-dressed megan... it was a darn hot afternoon to be dressed with a jacket lor... no wonder megan face black black...

P1010210 P1010211

face black black but still look pretty thou... keke...

P1010213 

and... we're the first to reach emily's place... (we were showing good time management examples for megan mah)... so, before the rest of girls arrive, we better 'treasure' some quantity time for ourselves... keke... the pretty mummies with the pretty babies... joelle, megan, bernice and emily.

P1010221

getting the babies to pose for a shot... megan is so used to seeing a black lumix camera in front of her... but not bernice yet... she still need some warming up... dun worry, i'm pretty sure she will get really 'warmed up' towards me... keke...

P1010222

found this huge mirror at emily's bedroom and 5 of us did a "doing the karen cheng" thingy... and stupid me... didn't realise my head kanna 'chopped off'... or maybe, i'm too tall... hee...

P1010224

oh well, still haven't warmed up to me yet...

P1010225 P1010226

and... the rest of the baby-snatching gang arrived... here's judy, whose wedding is around the corner... and sooner or later, i'm expecting an additional member to this newly formed "hate us for having cute babies" gang...

P1010229 P1010234

and i'm holding 2 more registration form to our gang with teresa and eling's name pre-printed on the form... just need their signature... and the date... :P

P1010232 P1010259

now who says cute babies don't cry?? once again, megan cried... i can't confirm why but only to wonder if its any of the following:

1. she is feeling uncomfy because she is feeling very hot?

2. overwhelmed by the crowd?

3. unfamiliar environment?

the one thing i'm sure of is, her tears are for real, and she need soothing... and thank god, its much easier to soothe her as compared to last time... lets cross fingers and hope situation improves as time passes...

P1010235

and sweety bernice watched and wonder if she can just give megan her own fav ball to soothe megan... but then again, its her own fav ball wor... 怎么办呢? keke...

P1010239

nevertheless, when megan settled down, the ladies got themselves settled down to chat and gossip and i got pretty much nothing to do but to take pictures lor... say cheese... or rather, say "hate us for having cute babeeeeessssss"

P1010242

and so, our lunchie... pizza!

P1010244

while we dig in, bernice got to entertain herself by crawling around eating baby biscuits...

P1010243 P1010245

and megan... can't crawl and so, stuck on the chair, previously used by bernice... luckily got this pinky chair...

P1010248 P1010251

i had a quick few pieces of pizza and played with bernice...

P1010253 P1010254

finally, she is warmed up towards me le...

P1010257 P1010255

such sweet smile... we dun call ourselves the "hate us for having cute babies" gang for nothing wor...

P1010256

when megan sleeps, bernice is wide awake... and when bernice naps, megan wakey... alright then, darling, your turn to snap snap...

P1010261

put megan on her tummy and snap this great shot... :P

P1010267

joey decided to join the fun, but then, megan seems pek chek already...

P1010268 P1010269

haa... joey looked so disappointed... dun worry lah, its not that megan dun like you lah, she is hungry already... and since everyone leaving, we stayed on to feed megan... and after feeding, megan dirtied her nice dress with puked milk and we got her to change... and then slowly... eventually... little one naps again...

P1010271 P1010272

as i said, megan naps... bernice wakes... and there she was, entertaining herself in her cot... and looked so happy when we came to her...

P1010273 P1010275

this time round, a successful 'doing the karen cheng' shot... with bernice...

P1010277

and not long after, just as we're about to set off to joelle parents' place, megan woke up and we 'borrowed' bernice and took this shot... hmmm... 4 seems like a good number... haa, what the hell am i thinking... not at the moment, dude...

P1010282

okie dokie, a goodbye shot before saying goodbye... the 2 babies seems reluctant to part wor... till the next gathering then... we got a growing "hate us for having cute babies" membership to maintain wor... many thanks to emily for organise a fun-filled gathering... :)

P1010286

宽宽

it was a very very very very hot day when i'm knocking off at 6pm+... yup, darn glaring warm evening... and gosh, 6pm+ and i'm still at office? haiz, last working day of the week and both of us got to work a little late... so, we decided to take a cab home...

P1010173

while on cabby, joelle was showing off her online shopping spree thingy that i was 'forced' to pay for as a 'punishment' to lose my temper 2 weeks ago... scroll down to skip my nonsense to joelle's nonsense... else, stay tune... :P

joelle also mentioned, my dad asked my mum to call her informing us that this evening, when fetching megan, dun put her in her pram but carry her instead, cuz its 农历七月... and dun call out her name when outside at nite... <roll eyes>... and the best part is, my mum told joelle that, my dad said call joelle instead of me because "阿hock不信这些的"...

oh well, i always believe in, dun know then dun need to do... but when know already, better do... at least 让自己好过些... and so, i carried megan back from her baby sitter's place... and megan enjoyed me carrying her, as usual... :)

and in fact, since this is 好兄弟's 'first book out' day, we went to buy this package of 'goodies' for 好兄弟... and so, joelle look after megan and i went downstairs to do the ritual thingy (whatever you call it)...

P1010186

and when back, and waiting for our dinner to arrive (joelle finally allowed me to order kfc le...), i started munching peanuts again... once again, megan was amused by just watching me eating peanuts... i past a peanut for her to grab... and to my horror, once she grabbed the peanut, she sent it right to her mouth... of course, i stopped it just in time... i guess, after watching her daddy so many times, megan finally realised, peanuts can be sent to the mouth to munch... but the problem is... darling, you got no teeth wor... keke...

P1010179

finally, our kfc delivery arrived! had a hearty, oily dinner...

P1010183 P1010185 

and that means pretty sleepy now... :P

looking at megan's photos... i begin to feel amused by our friends, who are split into the 'please give megan a haircut' camp and the 'please dun cut megan's hair' camp... one of megan's 'fan' even threaten joelle "i'll kill you if you cut megan's hair"... haha... frankly speaking, 我也不舍得剪啊...

P1010192 

alrighty, here we have, joelle's spoilt, my punishment... there is this, so-not-joelle skirt, and this 宽宽 top...

P1010202 P1010205

a nice black dress, with a nice poker dots ribbon at the back, but yet again, another 宽宽 dress...

P1010203 P1010204

not another 宽宽 top again... and finally, at least something i liked... this dress is nice... haiz, spent around $98 and only 1 piece i like... (pssst, got to play it down so as to prevent another spree... keke)

P1010207 P1010206

dear, no more 宽宽 dress lah... 怀孕的日子已经过了啦...
