Chinese New Year...

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Mommy is not up for visiting this year so she stayed home with Daddy while Lil' Angel went visiting with the Gramps!

Happy Lil' Angel

Taking pictures in our pretty garden (the Gramps spend a lot of time and money to beautify the garden every CNY) before visiting the relatives...

Posing oh-so sweetly...

The 3 of us!

Time to go visiting!

Lil' Angel waiting for all the guests to arrive!

Today's the second day of CNY and our relatives and friends will be coming to visit! Even the Lion Dance Troupe has been invited!

Lil' Angel & Lil' Leon eagerly looking out for the Lion...

We can hear the drumming from the Lion Dance Troupe! They are cominggggggg!

Where's the Lion?

The Lion Dance Performance!

Everyone, especially the kids were so captivated by the noisy Lion...

Upclose with the Lion!

First Day of School...

Lil' Angel is all ready for her first day of school!

Lil' Angel is starting Pre-Nursery today! Sadly, Mommy couldn't be there for Lil' Angel on her first day of school as I was hospitalised. However, my little trooper still went to school happily with Grandma and Daddy accompanying her. My brave Lil' Angel did not cry even though there were quite a few kids in her class crying for their parents. WELL DONE Caitlyn!

We hope that you will enjoy school and learn new things everyday!

Mommy Is Sick...

Mommy has been coughing badly for more than a month. Poor Lil' Baby in Mommy's tummy must be bumping around inside...must be so uncomfy!

Mommy decided to visit another doctor this morning for her cough and breathlessness. After the doctor examined Mommy, she asked Daddy to send Mommy to the hospital immediately. Sheesh...we didn't know what the problem was but it must be pretty serious for the Doctor to refer Mommy to A&E.

So off they went to the hospital...and Mommy was hospitalized for the whole week...

It was difficult to diagnose the problem as Mommy is pregnant and cannot do almost all scans and x-ray. But the doctors managed to do an ultrasound and found out that Mommy's right lung was 3/4 filled with fluid i.e. approximately TWO LITRES of fluid! No wonder Mommy has been so breathless! The doctors drew out the fluid from Mommy and carried out tests on the fluid...and after much ding-a-dong...the doctors told Mommy that she has LYMPHOMA...*sob*...

Lo Hei!

Our pre-Chinese New Year Lo Hei...

Yummy fruity "Yu Sheng" prepared by Grandma! Lots more to come during the CNY period!

Lil' Angel is WEANED!!

After two years and nine months of breastfeeding, Lil' Angel is weaned! It's so tough to wean her as she is a breastmilk addict! For some time prior to her being completely weaned, she took to the breast before sleeping only. It was almost impossible to get her off my breasts at night! So when I found out that I was pregnant and went for my first visit to the gynaecologist, I asked him to tell Lil' Angel that she can no longer drink Mommy's milk as Mommy will be on medication. Lil' Angel actually listened to him!

Of cos she still tried her luck after that but I applied minty toothpaste on my breasts every night and she complained that it was hot! By the end of the week, she totally gave up! We can all sleep through the night...FINALLY!

Cruise (30Dec09 - 3Jan10)...

We went on the Royal Carribean Cruise over the new year...yeah, we will be counting down to Year 2010 on board the ship!

While waiting to the board the cruise...

We started eating once aboard! The food wasn't very nice though...

Going through the emergency drill...

Enjoying the breeze on the deck...
