Umm Daa Waa Har HarRR

which literally means "daddy, i'm hungry"... oh well, at least that's the sound megan made 15 minutes ago when she woke up feeling hungry... yup, i'm on nite shift again for the 2nd consecutive nite... joelle is extremely exhausted from her 8am shift at work... (and OT till 6pm everyday somemore)...

anyway, joelle always say megan 疼 daddy cuz everytime when i'm on nite shift, megan would drink milk at 12am then sleep all the way till 6am... but when its joelle's turn, megan wakes at 3 or 4am...

is it true?? i'm not sure leh... but somehow, i come to realise that after we fetched megan from her baby sitter, her feeding time is around 8pm... then after 9pm, she sleeps, only to wake up at 12am to feed again... and at this 12am feed, i increased her milk from 150ml to 180ml... and then she could last longer till 5 or 6am...

and the best thing about nite feed is, megan's look after she had her fill... she would just sleep while closing her lips tightly not wanting me to push the milk bottle nipple into her mouth... and her lips were so pinky juicy, i can't help but to kiss her on her lips before putting her back to her cot...

 

oh ya, just now i was reading the vmware notes while waiting for megan's 12am feed, jann msn me asking about cameras... think she is considering getting a camera... anyway, as we are about to end conversation...

moo: where's megan?

me: megan sleeping, going to wakey to drink milk milk soon... :P

moo: where's joelle?

me: joelle sleeping, not wakey to drink milk milk... :S

moo: then u?

me: not sleeping... waiting to feed milk milk... :(

moo: me going iron cloth, then go sleep shiok shiok, no need to feed milk milk... :D

 

nb... keep laughing lor... you and der 有机会的...

you can't do this with lumix

remember the workshop we went a few days ago? there were some professional photographers taking pictures of the event and sent us the photo they took... look at the crowd at that day! saw us?? in that little red box?? yup... that's us there...

and this is one very very very great shot of joelle and nicky... my jaw just drop when i saw this... darn, these guys are good at it!

and we also used this chance to take a really nice professional family photoshoot...

gosh... i should pamper myself with a DSLR camera... i really can't do this with lumix... :P

stemcord certification

yo, we gotten the lab results from stemcord confirming that megan's cord blood is banked successfully without contamination... that would meant a confirmation to fork out $250 annually for the next 21 years to store megan's cord blood with stemcord le... oh well, 70 cents per day... still manageable lah...

back to the lab results... most of the maternal blood results are negative, which is good news of course... except for this particular one that says CMV IgG... it is explained in the lab result that CMV is a virus that is a common infection in the young and 50% - 80% of general population are CMV IgG positive... the virus is spread from person-to-person via saliva to breast milk... there is no treatment, and there is no cause to be alarmed...

ok, i guess its pretty alright then, and as i read on, it also says it causes a mild flu-like infection... flu infection... so does it meant that joelle and megan are both more prompt to flu? i think i also have CMV then... cuz i'm prompt to flu infection too... recalling the last LOK family flu infection, megan first, joelle second, then me... kaoz... i guess the LOKs better start stocking up on vitamin-C...

it comes with a certification too...

some may say it seems like wasting money to store... i used to think so too, but changes my attitude when we're having megan... i guess, being parent changes something in me... :P

 

anyway, as the saying goes: better to have condom when don't need it, than not to have condom when need it...

if ndp has it, so does wilson

if you still scratching your head when seeing this title, oh well, if ndp has a rehearsal, so does my little brother's birthday... which happened to be national day... which he happened to be involved in the ndp... and so, an early celebration for my little brother...

anyway, irene (wilson's gf) sms me last week asking if we can make it on sunday for wilson's bday celebration... of course i can, my little brother leh... then she told me to reject wilson if he calls to invite me over (to give him a surprise...) and a few days later, wilson calls and i had to lie to him... ghee, i feel bad wor... irene, so playful wor... keke...

and so, last sunday morning, while we were waiting to go lot1 to buy wilson's cake... its photo taking time!

and soon, it was time to set off... joelle prepared this nice cutie little blue dress for megan... so sweet wor...

megan is always so happy when she put on nice dresses...

so very the happy lor...

 

but then, got moody when we hit the road... realised that megan dun really like to go out... too noisy? too warm? too many people?? i really dun know... she just look, moody lor...

and this is megan's nice blue dress, with nice blue ribbon and white flowers all over... joelle 还真的很会买! but, dear, i'm not encouraging hor... :P

moody megan, didn't even want to look at the camera... then i wonder, whats so interesting outside the cabby? oooh, blue sky...

its around 7pm when we reached my parents' place. should capture wilson's look when we suddenly pop out with the cake... wow, looks like new year celebration wor... tons of food all over the table... and my fav, 火锅铁板烧!!! its sizzling time! and lotsa 'explosion' with hot sizzling oil flying all over the place when we're frying the 三层肉...

megan, once again, was crying... still not used to my parents' place... and after some soothing, we managed to settle her down on her pinky chair while we continue pamper ourselves with the food... and then, the young couple couldn't help it and tried carry megan for a photo shoot... hmmm, not bad wor, megan seems ok wor, especially with irene wor... afterall, she is the person who gave you the carebear wor... :P

 

time to take out the cake... its a blueberry cake with strawberries... looks really colourful and yummy...

even megan is attracted to it... no dear, not yet... wait till you're older k?

2 large 5 small candles, all lighted up and looking nice...

and... my little brother... 6 years my junior every year... :P

oh well, the usual... psst, if i knew the cake isn't that tasty, i would dump your head into the cake... keke...

and our tummy is so close to bursting liao... all the food, all the dessert, all the cake... not to mention that bottle of red wine... time for us to leave, as its already past megan's bedtime and she seems a little grouchy liao... my bro decided to have one last shot with megan and megan seems pretty ok despite the un-comfy position my brother is carrying her in... and my dad, can't help it and wanna carry megan and guess what?

 

oh ya, i finally got the books!!! a few weeks ago, i found that yen mei (my colleague) was reading trudi caravan's black magician trilogy and we talked about how exciting the storyline was... then i mentioned about her new series, the age of the five and then she asked me to wait for kinokuniya's member sales... and today, is the day! she lent me her card and i spent $41.82 for the 3 books after a discount of $10.46... 赚到啊! thinking of not returning her the card liao... no lah, just kidding...

now i wonder, with the vmware material i'm currently reading up on... and maybe sharepoint in the months to come... do i really have time for trudi caravan?

 

just now, dun know what's happening to megan cuz she keep crying... sounds like colicky attack... and almost 1 hour of crying stopping crying stopping, we managed to soothe her and set her down to sleep... she must be overwhelmed by the weekends' excitement... and joelle started talking about getting those yellow triangle taoism thingy for megan... (roll eyes)
