FOUR's the magic number ...

taken on his actual birthday
he celebrated with his classmates ...

he started being shy as he realized that
he was the center of attention
note the "worried" look on his face :)

O-boy with his Nai Nai

my family came down to Singapore last weekend
for pre-celebration of O-boy's birthday ...
the moist choc cake was baked
by my mum and decorated by my sis ...
we gorged on local nasi padang dishes ...
and thanks to my mum
who also brought ikan patin tempoyak ...
yummmmsss !



Happy 4th Birthday , O !

As he turns 4 ...

i love his cheeky-ness ...
i love watching his facial expressions ...
i love our conversations ...
i love that he still wants a "rock-a-bye-baby" rendition before he sleeps ...

i love this imp ...
as he turns FOUR at the end of this month ..
i want to wish him ...

Happy Fourth Birthday, Sweetheart !

Miss K

remember this little chick-a-dee ?

couldn't resist doing a layout
with such a cute face for a muse
this is Miss K who is 5 months old

this will be for my mum to frame
she has a collection going on
of all her grandkiddies

hope you like this one :)

happy weekend y'all !

conversations ...

O boy : mummy, you are Malaysian rite ??
Mummy : yes, sweetheart
O boy : Omar's Malaysian too??
Mummy : yes, baby
O boy : Papa's not Malaysian
Mummy : no, baby
O boy : he's Singaporean rite ?
a second later ...
O boy : he's SAD !

wahahahha .... i was rolling on the floor with laughter after hearing this !

kids ... they are too honest at times !

and how was your week ?

xox

on the merry-go-round ...

yes ... O-boy and me ...
and no ....
it's not the nice ones one finds in a circus or fair ...

we are on a BUG merry-go-round ...
it started with O-boy having sniffles + cough the day after the hubs leaves for reservist ...
few days later he gets better ...
then the momma started coughing ...
twas bad ... had to rely on my inhalers ...
by then ... O-boy was back to his nOrmal O-self ...
we travelled back to my mum's place ...
last Sunday O-boy and Q-tie went swimming at the club ...
early hours of Monday ... he woke up delirious ...
his lil body was hOt ... but he was shivering ...
fed him meds and sponged a whole lot ...
his temp has been yo-yo'ing the past 3 days ...and he has a cough that is painful to hear ...
sigh ...

i so wanna get off this not-so-merry-go-round !

and to make matters worse ...
my army guy is coming back one day later than the promised date ...
that deserves a huge B-O-O !!!


on a lighter note ... we met this lil one ...
dee-jay is nearly 6 months old now ...
she's my bro's #2 ...
ain't she a charmer ...

tell me .....

this doesn't just happen to me ...
he's turning 4 in a few months ....
already showing signs of "fake-smile-itis"

everytime i point the cam at him ...either i get a talk to the hand pose,
sticks out his tongue
or this ...
a fake plastered on smile ... sigh ...

WHAT is a momma to do ...

catch him unawares ?
boy is too fast to achieve this feat !

buy a supa-fast-auto cam ?
hb will not cross over to the dark side and buy a Canon !

take a gazillion shots of said boy (and pray hard that one may be a decent one) ?
yeah, been there ... done that ! Editing sucks !

anyhow ... decided not to fight this particular habit of his ...
even made a layout ...
hehehehe ...
am so gonna drag this one out sometime in the future
