她说 八 啦!

we took a day off today... not to rest and relax thou, cuz got to bring megan for her 3rd vaccination... i always have this phobia to bring megan for her vaccination, cuz i'm always the one holding her as joelle claimed she don't have the strength to restrain megan if she is kicking when getting the injection... so, its always me lor...

and little one woke up early as usual and started hitting me with her hands... anyway we can't sleep too late cuz the doc's office hour till 11am only... so we gotten ourselves ready...

and megan doesn't seem to know whats going to happen today...

until we were at the clinic, she then realised today is not going gai gai... number 39 is the number...

even thou the tv is showing mr bean, megan ain't amused at all... cuz the LED showing number 38 now... you're next darling... (psst, i'm feeling nervous too...)

now lets take megan's weight... us minus me equal megan... and she is 7.3kg now...

after some assessment, here comes the shot... in goes the needle...

out comes the needle... there i was, getting ready for megan's cries, in another 1...2...3...4...5...???

5 counts, still no tears?? no cries??? wow... megan is such a brave girl wor... daddy is so proud of you!!! and i looked at joelle with an amazed look, who is also having the same amazed look... and joelle was pointing the camera at megan and said "megan... smile..."

i replied "aiyo, you asking too much right? 没有哭已经不错了, 你还要她笑??"

and we signed megan up for her first dose of rotavirus vaccine... the leading cause for severe diarrhoea among infants... and we are considering giving megan her pneumococcal vaccine... this disease causes some major infection of the brain, blood, lungs and ear, and its pretty expensive... and since situation is not so jia lak in singapore... we decided to go for it... haa, i'm not making any sense hor? but prevention better than cure lah...

and in celebration of megan's braveness, we had over lunch at ajisen... :P

so long time never eat at ajisen liao... yummy... :P

end of the day for us?? not so... gotten an sms last nite and we realised baby boy of he ann and huiping arrived ytd... and since we are off today... lets go visit the new mummy and daddy of the new baby boy...

cam whoring along the way...

 

and here's the baby boy... haven't got a name yet, cuz need to look for shifu to 'calculate' a name for him... and his christian name going to start with Z, and of course, the new parents having decide on one yet... ghee, 好难哦... looking up babynames.com, not much of choice either... but then again, not my problem, haha...

and speaking of not my problem... looking at the new parents, i realised how difficult it was for us to adjust our life for the arrival of megan 5-6 months ago... and now, it seems we get pretty much used to the new lifestyle already... oh well, lets see how well the new parents going to handle... (don't know why i got this evil grin inside me... kekeke...)

and of course, we can't help not to carry a newborn now... before we have megan, carrying a newborn is a not-go for us, cuz we're so afraid... but not now, don't know why so desired to carry a newborn now... it almost seems like we have forgotten how megan was when she was a newborn... back then, she was so easy to carry, and her demands were so easy to met... now? different loh... i would say, the first 3 months, honeymoon period lah... 过来人, 讲话会比较大声, keke...

 

as the excitement is built around the newborn, we kind of left megan playing on the sofa... of course, i didn't forget to snap this nice shot of megan...

and as we were chatting with huiping, suddenly we heard megan shouted a loud and clear "爸"! i looked around at joelle and huiping for confirmation, and huiping was like confirming my doubtful look with "有有有, 我也有听到"

joelle, however, was like "听错啦, 她说 八 啦"

tigger killer

this evening, its only me and megan home... joelle went over to see a friend who got into a bike accident... think dislocated his shoulder... yo bro, speedy recovery k?

and since someone got to pick megan up, thats gonna be me...

something is telling me megan is happy when joelle not around wor... no lah, its me making her laugh... in fact, i think she misses joelle, was a little cranky when i'm putting her to bed just now... think she is going to wake up for her milk soon...

anyway, my dad bought a really big tigger for megan... its almost megan's size...

and tigger is no match for megan...

and megan is a little rough on her toys... as in she can shake her toys pretty violently, as if she is very pek chek with the toys... :P

now dear, please spare tigger's tail... and before she dismembered tigger, i better took it away from her...

like i said, megan is pretty violent with her toys... look at the way she 'tortured' tigger... and imagine this is what she is doing to me on weekend mornings when i'm still sleeping beside her... ouch, those on my eyes, they are not eyebags, they are bruises... keke, just kidding...

megan's first 中秋节

so tired now... so i'll keep this short... having some quality time with megan this morning...

 

and megan getting ready to go to her grandparents' place...

nicky teaching megan a few tips on playing with lanterns...

and joelle reliving the playing lantern days...

as usual, we would hang the tree with lanterns...

and, despite nicky's demonstration, megan has her own way of 'playing' with lanterns...

a long day, and megan's tired... so are we...

see, really short right? got to turn in le... 中秋节快乐!

shiwei's wedding

just came back from shiwei's wedding dinner... finally, another brotherhood fallen into the darkness of marriage life... haha, dear, i'm just kidding... keke...

the wedding dinner is held at pan pac. i was supposed to be helping out as brother this morning, but still sick, so couldn't help him out... sorry bro, i think you'll understand lah... :)

 

most questions targeted at me tonight was "老婆女儿呢?"... oh well, megan is still not ready for this kind of 大场面lah... in fact, this evening, i got to pet her to sleep before i can leave the house... and joelle told me after i left, megan got cranky, almost seems like she misses her daddy... anyway, this is kyler... kids really grow fast, now he is walking and running all over the place liao...

and this is jovi... having lotsa fun with the utensils...

and the usual last round of drinking before we call it a day...

the happy groom... who is red all over...

i did say he is the happy groom right?

to the newly wedded, its another "and they live happily ever after" love story that comes alive... blissful marriage to both of ya, shiwei and alvinia, and don't stay in twos for too long... we're waiting for an end product from the two of you...

megan's first carrot

this morning, didn't go over to help out shiwei's wedding as i haven't recovered yet... but the dinner, i must go lor... and no alcohol for me tonight, not even red wine, cuz my throat is killing me... it got this burning sensation whenever i swallow my saliva... ouch, grrr...

anyway, we got to go to central as i got to 'press' some money for shiwei's angbao, and joelle wanna buy a carrot... yup, a carrot... what can we cook with a carrot wor? oh well, its for megan... joelle is going to make some pureed porridge with carrot for megan... and megan, looking forever fresh and attentive, despite her already wide awake at 7am, and making noise while we are still sleeping... only until 9am i responded to her... 2 hours seems a bit the long to respond, but we are really tired, and she can self entertain nowadays, and she is sleeping between us anyway... :P

and joelle also cooked this... herbal drink thingy for my sore throat... its so darn bitter, but i kinda like it... lotsa people can't take stuffs like this, but i'm ok with it thou... and it helps a lot soothing my throat...

 

and this is megan's pureed porridge plus carrot... it smells nice...

and we finally used the high chair, that megan's nanny lend to us...

got to stuff a pillow to prevent megan from dropping forward... she is still not very stable sitting upright... but in a few weeks, she will be...

she is so excited lor... must be thinking this is her new toy...

but nope, we are not playing now... we are going to feed you! look what mummy cooked... when joelle pushed the spoon to megan's mouth, she seems confused and don't know what to do with it... eventually, she opened her mouth and munch... hmmmm, sweet... and kept munching after that...

and she finished 5 tablespoons of pureed porridge with carrot and still want somemore... but we are not going to give so much, after all, this is megan's first carrot wor... and she totally love it...

got to get myself ready to set off for shiwei's wedding... alone... joelle and megan not going, cuz megan still couldn't sit on her own, and it would be 'troublesome' (i hate to use this word, but then, this word describe it most)...
