Happy Birthday Kayden!!

We celebrated Kayden's birthday over the weekend. Photos are not ready yet coz yet to have time to meet up with the photographer.

Today is the day that Kayden turn from a "baby" to a "toddler".... it's his 1st birthday!! Sadly, his daddy is on course (so cannot take leave) and his mummy is very busy with work (also cannot take leave). Sigh.... We will be bringing him out for dinner tonight...

However, we will be on leave tomorrow (yeah!! Long weekend!!!) and will be bringing him out. Not going anywhere spectacular also... just hanging around coz he needs to go for this skin test (in order for him to take his BCG next Monday) and I have to go for checkup in the afternoon (been rather sick lately)...
One year back, I had contractions at home and reached the hospital around 1am on 25 Feb 2009. Kayden finally came out to see us after 12 hours plus!! Thank god for the wonderful EPIDURAL!!! Already forgotten how we managed doing the confinement ourselves, forgotten how painful the labour pain is... forgotten about the healing pain.... forgotten lots of things! *LOL* But after delivering him, I remember telling Kenneth I will not and confirm is not going to have a 2nd kid. Ha ha....

Wish Kayden will grow up healthily and be a happy kid... =)

Almost a year back....

I was browsing through my email and realised that I have the following pictures.... which were taken nearly 1 year ago...


Freshly out from the oven.... Took him quite some time before he burst out crying. Gynae did not smack his buttock when Kayden came out to see the world, guess it is not the practise there to do so. *LOL* Made Kenneth very worried... until he heard his cries...
When he first came out, it was quite unbelievable that he was inside me (I was carrying him) for 40 weeks!!!


When Kenneth went back home... Left Kayden and me only in the ward and he just kept staring at me. Ok, I know he couldn't see really well yet and his stares just so happen to be in my direction. =D
He scratched his face!! My heart was soooooo pain.... Anyway, his neck was soooo soft and we didn't know how to wear the cap back so most of the times, the cap was just resting on his head. *LOL*
Yeah! Kayden's first car ride!! Going home from the hospital!! Being wrapped up like a ba zhang. Ha ha...

All these were 1 year back... and now, baby is turning into toddler in less than 2 weeks time!! Can't believe it.... Kayden, you will always be Daddy and Mummy's good little boy and we will always love you... =)

Chinese New Year is just few days away!! After our 2 years break in States, this time round, we have an additional little kiddo to celebrate this festival with us. =) We will be having afternoon reunion dinner at home, with my in laws and in the evening, we will go back to my mum's place. Must say that my in laws are very understanding, willing to accomodate so that I can reach my mum's place on time. =)

Very busy these days. Was away on course for 2 days and I was alone!! I never been on "ranger course" before thus I am very bad being a lone ranger. *LOL* Lunch break was super long and as a result, walked into Centerpoint Robinson and spent $150!!! Gosh... Thus on the 2nd day, didn't dare to wander around much, went straight back to the classroom and surf net after my lonely lunch. *LOL*

No power in the office yesterday. Very stuffy, dark and HOT!! My boss even asked us to try working with the battery from our laptop. -.-" Everyone ignored him and we went to the poach outside and admire the "scenery" ---> trees, trees and more trees... After that, we went to the one and only canteen up on the hilltop for breakfast. *LOL* Alright... for the curious ones, my office is actually in the middle of Botanic Gardens and so, I have lots of fresh air every morning!! Which company? Make a guess... I think it's quite obvious... =p
Due to the stupid power failure, I need to lag my notebook home and work from home!!! My bedtime is 9pm every night and after I finished my work, I was dead tired... Luckily I have "ahmad" to send me to work everyday.... can catch some sleep in the car... =)

Our little bundle of joy's birthday celebration is next week!! I can't believe that Kayden is coming to 1 year old!! Seems just like yesterday that he was still in my tummy, and I always walked around with him inside me. *LOL* Coming to 1 year old, he is able to understand us better... when Kenneth asked him to sit and don't move (in a stern voice), he really does that! So amazing. *LOL* He doesn't favour Daddy much (maybe coz he always like to scold him.. and always this cannot, that cannot... ). As for Mummy (me loh), he always want me to carry and stick to me whenever I am at home. Maybe coz I am the more 随便 type, everything also can type. *LOL*
My mum called up one of my cousin to invite him to Kayden's birthday and this blur cousin commented "oh... 满月 ar?" *LOL* Looking forward to seeing all my relatives and friends that day. Hope everything will turn out well. =)

A friend of mine is leaving for States next month. A part of me actually envy her but the other part is glad that I am back at home - Singapore. Being there means I have "freedom". Right now in Singapore, not that I have no freedom but things are somehow not quite the same. I can't do what I want to do with my son. *LOL* In another way, glad that I am in Singapore coz there are so many people for me to depend on. *LOL* A colleague said I look tired, asked me is it coz I need to look after my boy after work. No loh... hahahaa... I need to fight to look after Kayden every evening!!!!! Think I should have half a dozen more kiddos, then they won't fight with me anymore. *LOL*
Being in States also means... stress-free!! Coz not working... hahaa... Right now, my only stress comes only from work!! Sigh.. Sometimes, I just feel like getting a more simple job... like being a receptionist... I think it's stress-free!! But then again, every task given is a challenge and at the end of the day, when I see the pay cheque, I am so glad that I am being employed. *LOL*
I wish this friend all the best in her 2 years stay at Phoenix with her family. Hopefully she will settle down fast and know some friends (though I think it's not that easy). Anyway, she was there before 15 years back!! But lots of things had changed....

Lastly, wishing everyone 恭喜发财, 身体健康, 财源滚滚. May the coming year be a much better one!! =)

First Hair Cut....

Chinese New Year is coming! So is Kayden's 1st birthday!! And so, we brought him for his first haircut (since birth) on Sunday.... Went to this shop, specialising in cutting kiddos' hair...

Put him on the little pink car and instantly, he was very frighten....
In the end, Kenneth needs to carry him... he was still struggling...

Finally calm down... but still grumpy coz he was suppose to be napping, but we woke him up when we reached NorthPoint. *LOL*
The haircut begins... Finally relaxed...
Smiling to himself when he saw his own image in the mirrow...
Smiled to me when he saw the camera...
Stone again....
Very frighten of the electric razor... shaved off his side-burn...
Oh... skinny baby!! *LOL*
Smile... you are on the camera....
After the hair cut... To me, it's like a trim... not really a cut... the hairdresser is not very experienced... regretted bringing him to this place... should have brought him to United Square... =( Anyway, he looks neater now... not a "mad professor" with hair flying all over now... *LOL*
The overall experiece is that, Kayden is very cooperative... never fidget or cry or whimper... Pass him a comb to play and he is able to keep still for quite some time... =) Now, he's all ready to face everybody for the upcoming Chinese New Year!!
