Straits Quay

On Saturday night, Mummy and Daddy brought me to have dinner at Straits Quay Mall together with their friends. This was my first time there, and Daddy and Mummy's second time. Aunty Ai Nee brought Kor Kor Darrell as well so I had a little friend to play with.

This dinner was actually for Mummy's belated birthday. Mummy's birthdays are all belated this year :p

We had dinner at this German bistro which I can't remember the name. Before dinner, Mummy took some photos with everyone:


With me!


With Uncle Szu Fu


With Aunty Ai Nee and Aunty Jenny

We also took a family photo but I was grumpy because I wanted to go outside and play!



Check out my expression:



Outside, there was little stage built. See me jumping around!



By the way, today is Nanna's birthday as well. Her actual birthday is 29 February, but since there is no 29 February this year, her birthday is today. Happy birthday Nanna from Mummy and Daddy and me! Hugs and kisses!

Mummy's 30th

Mummy's wish that I get to celebrate her 30th birthday at home this year came true as I was discharged from the hospital on the afternoon of her birthday. We were all so happy that I could go home at last as the hours seemed to pass by very slowly when we were in the hospital.

This is the cake which Daddy bought for Mummy from Baskin Robbins - cookies and cream flavour. The whole cake was made of ice-cream and not half cake, half ice-cream. I was really excited to see it as I love ice-cream!



Nanna, Gong Gong and Ee Ee were around so we took some family shots at home. Mummy and Daddy look pretty tired as we just came back from the hospital.



And then came the best part! And this is me just being discharged from hospital. Everybody sure "pengsan" if they see me eating ice-cream after just only recovering!



After I had finished, I posed like this. Look at my happy expression and the mess on my face and hands. As you can see, I really enjoyed myself :)



That weekend, Mummy's friends treated her dinner at Straits Quay. They had Mediterranean food for dinner at Agua and thereafter cake at Secret Recipe. Food at Agua was quite good, RM58 nett for set dinner which comes with a glass of wine.



Mummy indeed had a memorable 30th birthday. We hope to celebrate many more birthdays together!

In Changi Airport

I am now in Changi airport waiting for my flight home to Penang. I came this morning to meet clients but since Air Asia's only night flight is at 11 pm, I have been "ronda-ing" around trying to kill time. Good thing Changi has free internet :)

I seemed to have been on somewhat of a blogging hiatus since Hannah was ill and thereafter was Chinese New Year and when I got back to work I was busy with all the backlog of work during my 2 weeks absence. There are probably a few hundred photos taken during Chinese New Year, will find the time to post up some of them soon.

Since I am on a 15 minute limit (I have about 3 minutes left), this is all I am going to write for now.

Will update soon.

In hospital

Little Hannah has been admitted to hospital for dengue fever. She had been having fever on and off since the 2nd day of Chinese New Year so the doctor did a blood test on her yesterday morning and it was positive for dengue.

She has been warded and needs to be put on a drip. Her fever is not high anymore but she is extremely cranky and uncooperative. Cannot really blame her as she is so small and does not really understand what is happening to her. As parents, it also breaks our hearts to see her so miserable.

Please pray for her speedy recovery and that she can be discharged tomorrow, which is the earliest possible she can go home, according to the doctor.

We are trying to make her as comfortable as possible, and she is generally being a good girl, despite the circumstances. We have to stay with her at the hospital, which is definitely nowhere near as nice or comfortable as our own home and own bed, and the pediatric ward playroom is her only "fun" place.

My 30th birthday is coming up in two days and my only birthday wish this year is that Hannah can spend it with me at home or somewhere nice outside and not in the hospital.

Back for Chinese New Year

Nanna, Gong Gong and Ee Ee are back for Chinese New Year! I got many presents from them, I will tell you about them later.

On Saturday, I went for Jie Jie Isabelle's 4th birthday party. We went to her house and it was nicely decorated with many balloons. I kept wanting to hold all the balloons.



Jie Jie Isabelle got many many toys this year. I gave her a fluffy teddy bear and Mummy and Daddy gave her an ang pow. I am holding the teddy bear (partially hidden in the picture below) and was not really willing to give it to her, but after some coaxing, I let it go.



I was also thrilled to see this - a toy teaset! It kept me entertained for quite a long time while Mummy and Daddy ate their food. Since it was a party, I also got to eat a lot of things which I don't normally get to eat - french fries, ice cream, cake :p



When Nanna and Gong Gong came back, we went kai-kai at one of the shopping malls so they could buy some things. Nanna was saying something funny to me and I laughed and laughed so much.





Gong Gong brought me back this - how typical of a dentist :p He also got me a CD of children's Bible songs but Mummy didn't take a picture as the CD was in the car.



Nanna and Grandpa Noll from Australia bought me this. Mummy told Nanna that I love to "cook" so now I have this lovely teaset of my own. Thank you Nanna and Grandpa Noll!



This is the box which it came in:



I'm really looking forward to this CNY - Ah Gong taught me how to do "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Hong Bao Na Lai" with my hands, so I am busy practising before the first day of CNY :)

Wishing everyone a very happy Chinese New Year!
