Happy Chinese "Niu" Year

1st day of CNY - wearing red

2nd day of CNY - wearing blue

The BIG happy family

The first day of Chinese New Year falls on Mon... On CNY eve, we went to granny's house for a simple dinner before adjourning to great-granny's place... On the way to great-granny's house, we stopped by the roadside to buy some "firecracker" for Emeryn...

We were all wearing red color on the 1st day of CNY. We went over to Pekaka for lunch and mummy was busy giving ang pows... After lunch, we went to Ee Ee's place, great-granny's place at Maccallum and lastly to great-granny's at Paya Terubong... Emeryn insisted to go to the beach whole day long...So daddy drove us to the beach as promised.. We spent a short while over there before leaving at about 7pm...

On the 2nd day of CNY, we went to Ee Ee's house to meet up some very close relative... Later we drove to the temple to offer some prayer to mummy's grandpa but too bad it was closed earlier... We drove home shortly and both emeryn and daddy took a nap.. Mummy sneaked out for a mini gathering with friends at E-gate...Daddy called mummy when emeryn woke up... Mummy drove home and later we went over to Ee Ee's house for our late reunion dinner... Lastly we captured our family photo before leaving...

The next day mummy started working as usual... Sigh...After work, mummy met up with fellow ex-prefect from SGGS for a reunion dinner at Red Island Cafe.. Emeryn sat down on the chair quietly and do not make any single mess at all... All of mummy's friend compliment emeryn for being such a good girl that evening...There was another reunion dinner on the 4th day of CNY at Dragon-i at QBM... Emeryn tagged along as usual.. She doesn't seems to love the food over there, only attracted to the peanut... Poor baby..

Souvenir from Manila & Berlin

during the seafood dinner

CNY dresses

from Manila

from Berlin

Mummy was away for a short holiday at Manila from 15th-19th Jan... Emeryn was staying with granny at Pekaka while mummy was away... Again it was a very tiring and rush trip for Mummy... Mummy bought 2 dresses for Emeryn with 50Peso each, a so-called jumper suit at 200Peso, 1 small baby cologne, 1 dalmatian doggie cookie and a Disney Princess perfume from KLIA.. The same perfume Daddy bought for Emeryn during his trip too China was broken when Emeryn accidentally threw it on to the floor... This is the so-called replacement perfume for her... Haha.. The cartoon network dresses where redeemed via bonus link shopping voucher...

On 23rd, mummy brought emeryn along to a seafood dinner at Teluk Kumbar... It was by the seaside and emeryn were happily enjoying herself on the swing...Emeryn just had some plain rice with vege before insisting on playing the swing again... While on 25th, Sat, mummy did not send emeryn to the nursery as it was closed for CNY... Later in the afternoon, mummy dropped by at por por's house to passed some CNY goodie to her.. Mummy drove emeryn to the beach and obviously she enjoyed it much...

At the same time, Ee Ee came back from Berlin giving por por, ah kong and ee ee a huge surprise... Ee Ee bought Emeryn a pricey DKNY skirt, a wooden dressing-up toy and some sweets...The same week after mummy returned from Manila, mummy was again traveled to KL for sales convention... Poor Emeryn have to spend so many nites at granny's...

New Nursery

A&W @ Gurney Plaza

Last week was emeryn’s 1^st week at her new nursery, Taska Villa... Mummy sent her in on 5^th Jan... Mummy accompanied emeryn for a short while before leaving for work... Amazingly for the 1st day at her new school she does not shed her tears.. Seeing emeryn was so occupied with the toys, mummy left without her consent... For January, emeryn will be on half day care until the school moves to the new building...By then she will be on full-day care... Unfortunately on day 2 onwards, emeryn started crying each morning mummy sends her to school... Pity her.. She got to adjust to the new environment....

Kakak Suti came back on Fri and mummy fetched her from the airport... Emeryn welcomed kakak with a warm hug and kiss her when kakak stepped into the house... She doesn’t act strange though not seeing kakak for 2 months.. At that nite, we went to daddy’s friend bachelor nite buffet dinner... We went home about 10.30pm and emeryn dozed off almost immediately after taking her milk....

Followed by the wedding dinner on Sat evening... During the dinner, emeryn was so close to daddy, following him almost everywhere and stayed near daddy most of the time... She do not make any mess and it makes the whole dinner turned out too good to imagine.. Emeryn joined daddy and his friends dancing and cheering for the newly wed...That nite, emeryn portrayed such a good-girl attitude... Before leaving, daddy grabbed a pair of “wedding” teddy bear (car decoration) for emeryn...

We went to Ee Ee’s house on Sun afternoon as usual... And again emeryn surprised mummy for being so clicked to ah kong.. She played and jokes with ah kong which she has never go really near ah kong before this... Wonderful.. We went to Gurney Plaza at about 6pm and walked along its new wing... After its opening, this was our first time walking pass each and every stores...We dropped by at London Slimming to pay a visit to Ee Ee’s work place... We had our dinner at A&W... Emeryn was sitting on her stroller all the time...The last time she sat on her stroller was when she was 10months old.. Imagine that... It is so much easier to bring around on the stroller rather than carrying a heavy emeryn... We went home shortly after our dinner...

Happy 50th Birthday, Ah Kong

Playground @ Esplanade

@Tesco

Ah Kong's 50th Birthday

We celebrated Ah Kong’s 50^th Birthday on the last day of 2008, 31^st Dec... The same day also marked Emeryn’s last day at Sunflower Nursery... Ah kong’s actual birthday is supposed to be 1^st Jan.. Daddy brought him a fruit cake and later all of us went for a dinner...It was those 8-course dinner but it was at just a normal restaurant, not any big names to mentioned... After the dinner, we drove to Batu Feringghi with granny and kor kor to exchange those spoilt dvds... Surprisingly there isn’t any traffic jam despite the eve of New Year.. We had a short walk along the night bazaar before heading to Esplanade to witness the fireworks and to usher the new beginning of 2009...

Emeryn fell asleep on mummy’s arm. At upper Penang Road, it was so jammed that the cars merely move... Most of the roads heading to Esplanade were blocked...It was 12am sharp when we were driving along the bank’s street... Daddy stopped the car by the road side and we came out from the car to witness the once-a-year fireworks.. Mummy asked emeryn to wake up and witness it but she refuses to open her eyes...What a waste??? The fireworks lasted about 5minutes and immediately after it stopped, emeryn opened her eyes and claimed “finished already”... What a funny statement from her?? Emeryn rather keep her eyes closed than witnessing the beauty of the fireworks... We drove home straight after that...

Mummy brought emeryn to Tesco to get ready some stuff for Chinese New Year on New Year day... We spend our afternoon at home... While in the evening, mummy brought emeryn out for dinner with Por Por, Ah Kong and Ee Ee.. After our dinner, we walked at the pasar malam nearby their place...

On Sat, we had our dinner at Pekaka together with granny, ah kong, chik chik and ah chim.. After the dinner, daddy played the wedding dvd (mummy & daddy’s wedding on year 2005) and all of us watched it for 2.5hours... It was a walk back memory lane. We went home at about 10.30pm... The next day, we went to granny’s place as usual, our usual weekend visit.. Before going to granny’s place, we brought emeryn to Esplanade for her playground time... She exciting ran towards the swing and swing non-stop and refuse to try other games...It was about to rain before we were forced to leave...Emeryn insisted not to leave and started crying loudly... Her cries don’t even stop until we reached granny’s place.. It was a big fuss... Sigh...
