Sexy Baby [Annabelle @ 9M]

Feeling a bit lazy and busy to update my blog lately and it's really not easy to maintain a blog and my sanity especially now having 2 constantly screaming and active kids at home :) However, I found these photos of Annabelle when she was @ 9 months old and can't wait to post it up.

Oh my oh my ....... Look at her belly ....... so big and round and so cute!!! ^_^

Babies looks the chubbiest at around this age and now, she has lost most of her baby fat but still maintaining that 'gigantic' frame inherited from her Mommy DADDY.


I hope these pictures will brings sweet memories to her when she is much older :) Babies are just so cute and so cuddly when they are in their best mood ^_^

Annabelle @9 Months old

My Not-So-Happy Birthday 2012 ??

Another very belated post ....... :P

I celebrate my birthday 6 months ago and I flew to Hong Kong to meet up with hubby for my big day. Sounds great?? If you think it should be a great fun birthday that I had, please hold your horses!!! :P

Dragon air always prepared the nicest meal on board. Too bad they didn't serve Haagen Dazs ice cream that day coz I have been looking forward to it whenever I flew to HK, hehehehe.

Birthday cakes in Hong Kong are very cute!!! Actually I have ordered another cake from the bakery and then when I saw this one, oh, can't resist myself from having another Hello Kitty cake!! ho ho ho ho!!! I bet Angel would love this cake too so I bought it finally. And when the shop assistant asked me how many candles I need for the birthday kid (yes, she said "siu-pang-yao" meaning kid), I paused awhile and say "One please" LoL

** And true enough, when I show Angel the picture of my Hello Kitty cake after my return, she bawled out loudly:
"Wuahhh ~~~~~ Why didn't you invite me to your birthday party???!!!!!! You eat the Hello Kitty cake without me?????!!!!" O.o and then give me the most unbelievable look on her face and started to cry profusely!!! *Oh dear, that's really not what I'd expected, sigh. *



And on my most awaited birthday dinner, we set for dinner at 6pm but I have waited for hubby until 8pm where the shops in Queen's Road started to closed and I yet to see hubby's face! So I called him again and guess what, he is still having his nice cup of tea (or was it beer???) with his friends and asked me to wait for another 10 minutes O.o I thought his 10 minutes was an hour ago??

And then worst still, he called me 20 minutes later and said to me, "XXX says he wants to come along for our dinner and we will be leaving in 'SOON' ya cos he is still chit chatting with friends and refusing to leave."

Soon???? I have been standing on the cold dark street till 8.40pm waiting for him since 6pm and feeling so hungry and fuming mad, then I told him:

"You can have your dinner with XXX yourself!!! The shops is all closed now and don't you think 2 1/2 hour is too much for 10 minutes???!! This is ridiculous!!! I am fine if it's a normal day but i bet you have forgotten that it's your wife's birthday today and I do not need XXX to celebrate candle light dinner on my birthday with me coz I can't smile to anybody at this moment!! I didn't come to HK purposely to eat 'west-north' wind standing cold on the street while you are drinking beer happily with your friends there??? You should have told me earlier dinner is at 9pm and not 10 minutes since 6pm??!!! Don't you think that you are going over the board????!!! Enjoy your BEER!!!!!!" Then I just slam down the phone.

Gosh ...... when "Men + Beer + friends", I tell you, everything in mind including time will vanished into thin air, "pufff!!!", just like that, trust me!! And I bet they can't even remember their name too, even own wifey's birthday!!! :( :(

Most shop has closed at 8pm on Queens Road and I have no where to eat in the malls so I just walked up to Yung-Kee Restaurant around the corner and ordered their famous Goose Rice + Char Siew + the famous Century egg to take away!

I am so mad that I switched my phone off, and then opened my take-away dinner telling myself, "Happy Birthday to you eating take away on your birthday in HK and sigh ...... this yummy looking rice is such a waste coz at this moment, I think eating Dragon-Meat would be tasteless too!!!!"

And then I scope 1 spoon of rice into my mouth and O.o ......... *silence* My oh my!!!!!! *with my eyebrow raised* That's so DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even after the rice turn cold and with a super-duper angry mood, the rice still taste HEAVENLY!!!!!! That's the most tasty goose rice I have ever had in Yung Kee (although it's not my first time) and I quickly wallop the takeaway squeaky clean and all negative mood has been sweep thousand miles away with this heavenly scrumptious meal! The century eggs was so marvelous and what makes it extra special was that pink marinated ginger at the side!! Oh my, hardly words can describe!!!!



I gone to bed with a fully satisfied tummy and a big big smile on my face + some uncontrollable tears at the corner of my eyes of coarse :P Hubby was finally back to the hotel at the wee hours and having his 'good night sleep' on the carpet floor that night while his wife has been sound asleep at 11pm after the most wonderful and satisfying meal, (forgotten to take her bath too due to over eating!!! Opppss!) Hubby only returned to the hotel at 1am according to him (*_*) Ridiculous or not??? If you were as curious as me on what on earth has he been doing till 1am that night? He told me he has been rushing down to Queen's Road abandoning all his friendfs after I slammed his phone down and was searching for me till 10pm on the street *_*. After he couldn't find me there, he then rush back to the MTR station near our hotel and waited for me at the MRT entrance hoping to see my return till the MTR closed at 1am. His feet were swollen due to too many walking and standing *_* and asked me "touching" and "romantic" or not and can I forgive him due to his hard work??? O.o

My jaw dropped when I hear what he say! I was thinking "What's wrong with this man??? What was he thinking!!" No wonder some said that "Men are from MARS" and now I believe it!!! *sigh*
*p/s: At this moment, I can't stop laughing while jotting this down cos it's really ridiculous and absolutely hilarious!!*

So in order to make up to me, he dragged me into this shop and asked me to choose something and anything as my birthday gift and also served as a 'punishment' to him! Fire is still burning inside me but of course, I didn't burnt a hole in his pocket just because I am angry. The fact was, I just bought one and I don't plan to buy another bag which I don't fancy. At the end so as to make him feel better, I bought a key chain (less then RM2,000) and hubby quickly sign his card happy and said to me, "Lao-Po, you are so kind to me!!!" *O.o*

Now I was thinking, will I act differently if the shop he dragged me to was the double C or the H shop?? *evil smile*



And for the rest of the day, surprisingly my burning flame doesn't effected my taste buds at all. I had the most delicious Almond Dessert Soup at 大良八记 and also the most wonderful porridge at 富记粥品。Both are a very small shops lots situated at the most unnoticeable locations and if you don't look hard, you might just walk passed the shop without realising it. I can't remember the exact address for both shops but I think when you Google it, you would be able to find it.


Then out of recommendation from hubby's friend, we had Japanese Meal for our dinner next night. This is the most delicious Japanese meal I have ever had in Hong Kong! It's call 和民 and is an international chain japanese restaurant in many countries such as China and Singapore. But I think the one in HK taste better compare to the one in Shanghai. I am relatively surprised that due to the bad incident, my mood hasn't been affected much throughout the trip nor my taste buds! :D Thank God!!


Maybe it's due to 镛记 fabulous goose rice and century egg that saves my day? ....... Or I am already immune and all set to move on to MARS and survived?????

I am actually having a great birthday (apart from that incident of course!) although someone can still sense hot smokes pipping out from the top of my head throughout the trip!!! I am blessed and I do hope that this is just an one off incident. So I have learn my lesson, absolutely "NO beer + friends" policies prior to important occasions even it's just a quick one to avoid unnecessary 'disaster' happening. Hahahahaha.

Happy Belated 2012 birthday to me! :P :P What a 'memorable' birthday thanks to a person call Hubby :p :p

Electronic Era

When daddy is busy working from home but still have to babysit little Annabelle, that's how he did it!!! *gulp* O.o

Kids (.... err, and babies O.o) nowadays are more interested in the electronic gadgets then kids toys. Most kids are going out with the Ipad in hand. I was thinking to get the LeapPad Explorer for the kids too but to my horror, it's more expensive then the Ipod Touch, and not including all the games that we need to purchase separately which cost us a bomb too :(

Hubby has been begging me to show the "ok" sign for the Ipod touch or Ipad long ago but I am a bit reluctant. I know once we got it, it will be very hard not to hand over the gadgets to them whenever we are out. And if we get it, we have to get 2 sets instead looking at how they are constantly snatching and fighting for the same toy 24 hours a day.

To buy or not to buy ..... that's a tough question! *think hard*

[1Y9M] What Annabelle Thinks About Jie Jie's Birthday?

【Annabelle @ 1Y9M】

Little Annabelle behaved like an angel throughout her Jie Jie Angel's 5th birthday dinner and celebration (apart from pulling the Snow White heads off incident in my previous post, of course :P). She observed whatever Angel is doing quietly at the side, smiling along whenever she saw something interested her and sometimes, will also lays her hands touching here and there without making much noise. She is such a sweet cutie pie (^_^)

And then she observed her big jie jie blows her candles, unwrapped all the gifts one by one ........


Without uttering a word, she just sat quietly on her high chair, and watched and watched and watched until ........


We pop a question to her Angel Jie Jie

"Angel, you are 5 years old today!!! Yeh!!! Are you happy Angel???"

Then suddenly before getting a reply from the birthday girl, we heard a voice from the other side of the table, Annabelle:

"No .... Not Happy!!! Belle Not Happy!!! Belle is Sad!!" :( :( and when we finally takes our eyes and concentration away from the birthday girl and lay them on little Annabelle, we saw little Annabelle already making a face as below ...... O.o



O.o We laugh so hard coz we didn't expect that this little Annabelle who is only 1Y9M old baby would have such hard feelings towards her elder sister's birthday :P :P She did enjoy the party laughing and giggling along as what I saw, but she was just not so happy to the fact that it's not HER birthday after all LoL

So to make up to this little cutie pie, we gave her a big piece of cake as a reward for being such a good girl throughout the celebration. She ate the cake happily but then, she stills uttering the same phrase on and on, "Belle not happy, Belle sad!" and give us that same 'not-so-happy' face with pouted lips which is just soooooo cute to associate with the word SAD, hahahahahahaha ......


After everything was over and Angel Jie Jie was happily playing with her new laptop that night, Annabelle suddenly grab one of her books and say:

"哪～～, 姐姐 有 computer, Belle 有 computer! Belle 的 Computer!!!"
(Nah, Jie Jie have her computer, Belle have a computer too and this is Belle's computer!)



Whenever Angel's birthday, Annabelle is not happy and when it's Annabelle's birthday, Angel is not happy either. O.o

To be frankly, how I wished both of them can share the same birthday so everyone can remain happy? *wishful thinking* But it's certainly so funny to see both girl's reaction, hahahahaha! What can I say. KIDS!!!!! :P

Happy 5th Birthday Angel - Part 2

Oh dear ..... Angel's birthday posts still not yet completed till now so ok, I will make it a quick one coz I have been dragging it for way too long :P

She was dressed like a Princess (Snow White is a Princess too right? :P) and she was very happy indeed.

On the day itself, lovely grandma has prepared Angel's usual birthday meal with Mee Suah + a very huge drumstick + red eggs. She requested for pure grapes juice too which she doesn't gets to drink very often and wallop up everything in satisfaction!


And then, she requested for her sandwich 'in bento' style after her afternoon bath 1 hour later! A girl with big appetite!! Luckily grandma is a very handy person and came out with those lovely heart shaped chicken sandwiches in no time and makes her a very happy birthday girl :) :)


We had a simple dinner at T.H western restaurant with our immediate family members and the highlight of the night was the cake cutting session. This year's birthday theme was Snow While instead of her usual Hello Kitty Theme and I am glad that she loves her Snow White cake after I told her that Snow White is a Princess and Good Friends to Hello Kitty too coz all of them know each other in the cartoon world (opppsss .... a big white lie which works).


This year, little Annabelle is joining the celebration for the very first time :) Both are so delighted to see the cakes and little Annabelle can't wait to lay her hands on those pretty cakes, touching and dismantled all the leaves and pulling all the deco out when we are not looking too (>.<)


Then while we are snapping pictures happily and suddenly we heard a loud shout from Angel the birthday girl "MOMMY!!! LOOK WHAT ANNABELLE DID!!!!" and when we looked ......

Oh NO .... little Annabelle has pulled Snow White heads off from the cake while I saw tears started to form in her big round eyes although she tries to laugh it off :P Luckily I was quick enough to make a joke out of it and quickly fixed poor Snow White heads back to where it's suppose to be (with a missing nose which couldn't be fixed :( :( ) and glad that no one noticed the missing nose and quickly pull it over without bigger drama happening with a birthday song. Phew ......


Angel insisted to have the sparkled Candles at the side which truly scared both the girls away when it actually produced tiny little sparkles when lit O.o No more sparkled candles for her birthday as she puts it, because it looks scary acording to her :P :P



Angel got a lot of pressie from us and actually she had more but I have kept some of the gifts away and only to give her after some time. Her toy box are overloaded at grandma's!!!



A very happy girl posing with all her gifts! She would exclaimed out loud each time she opened up a gift :) :)


And among those gifts, this is her most favourite gift which she got from her beloved Grandma! She purposely requested for a Notebook with a 'mouse' and her wish came through that night!

"WAAHHH!! Ah Mah, how you know I wanted this???!!!" She asked grandma with her big wide eyes opened! :P :P


Taa daaa ...... Below is the gift from Mommy, the full set of Dr. Seuss Collection which she loves it to bits day by day. Certainly one of the greatest gifts I have ever got for Angel (as per her requests) because I can see her giggle away happily every night whenever she reads them and still finds it amusing after reading them for 'n' times.

That's the magical part of Dr. Suess book. I must admit that I really think that it would be a very boring book just by looking at its simple sketches and story line until I really read them to Angel.

Now, I have learn something ...... Never judge a book by it's cover!!! :P

"Mommy, how do you know I wanted this Cat In The Hat Books too?? Huh? Huh? Tell me! Tell me!" :P :P Kids are so cute, aren't they :P


Just with a blow off the candles, my girl has turned 5. That night, while stroking her hair to sleep, I told Angel,

"Angel, you are growing up so fast :) Big girl already lo and few more years later, you can't stick to mommy like you used to already."

She was very kan-cheong and replied:

"But Mommy, I wish I can grow up slower ~~~. I want to grow up slowly and not too fast ok, mommy?? I want to be 5 years old long long long long time so that I can stick to mommy for long long long long time EVER and FOREVER."


Of course my Baby :) You would always be my Baby girl forever and ever and glad to have you in our live. Happy 5th Birthday Angel Darling!!! We love you so much!!
