Dearest Brother's Convocation

Working in an online media company for so many years, have been attended numerous convocation by different educational institutions as media to cover the event, but this round, I couldn't attend my own brother's convocation as baby Kimi was with me. I need to take care of him. But I went to the One World Hotel with hubby and baby Kimi after the convocation ceremony ended to send our wishes to him. When we reached, it was already 12pm. Just in time that the ceremony ended and we met up our parents, siblings and cousins there.

Everything was in a rush, as my brother wanted to make it on time to rush to return his robe and then take the bus back to Penang at 3.30pm. So after we reached the hotel, we rushed to SS2 again, to take our family photo at a photo studio there. Too bad, baby Kimi was sleeping during the time we took the family photo, so couldn't really see his face. But really hope that the family photo will turn out nice ~~

Alan, you really made us proud! I can see mum and dad are really happy when they attended your convocation. I am sure they feel excited as well when they see you on the stage, receiving your scroll and delivering your speech as a Valedictorian during the convocation ceremony. Congratulations to you once again!

Our Pontian Stay

So fast, time flies very fast ~~ One week is going to end very soon, tomorrow I will be going back to KL with baby Kimi already. One week at Pontian, Kimi has a lot of new experiences. Really enjoy our stay here. Hope when he is back to KL, he can get use to KL lifestyle with only me at home with him during day time. Not as crowded as when at Pontian with grandparents, great-grandma, aunties and uncles around.

I think the next round baby Kimi back to Pontian, perhaps will be Chinese New Year time already... Hope he is able to fly back to Pontian together with us ~~

As for me, during this one week stay, I had eaten most of the food which I missed for a long time already. One of them is this dessert, in Hokkien we call it as 'Lik Tau Suan'. This dessert must go with 'You Char Keow' to make it a perfect match. In KL, it is very difficult for me to find this dessert to eat. This time back Pontian, I finally get to eat it again. Super delicious!!! Hehe...

Those younger days...

During my birthday, I received a SMS from one of my cousins who is currently now working at UK. Thank you for his birthday wishes from so far away! In his SMS, he wrote, 'Happy Birthday, hope you have a good one'. I replied to him and said, I missed those birthday celebrations, when I had Barbie dolls as birthday presents...

At that time I was at my confinement period, couldn't eat a lot of things. So I chose not to celebrate the day since hubby also not with me. So MIL cooked for me 'Mee Suah with Eggs' for breakfast to mark my birthday on that morning. Suddenly, I really missed those days, when I had my birthday celebrations with my dearest cousins... It was so crowded, although all of us were still very young, the celebrations still clearly remembered by me. It was such an enjoyable one!

As we grow older, the numbers of people who celebrate birthday with us, seem getting lesser and lesser, unless you wish to call a party and invite a lot of your friends to come over and celebrate with you. Or you are at your grandparents status, then you will also have very crowded birthday celebrations with all your children and grandchildren to celebrate with you. Or you happen to be with your family members on your birthday.

In the future, I have baby Kimi and hubby to celebrate my birthday for me. It will be very unique as it no longer a 2 persons celebrations. With baby Kimi around, I am sure it will be much more merrier. But I really wish one day, I can have a birthday party, celebrate together with my parents, cousins, uncles and aunties again!

Can time turn back a little bit for me? I really miss those younger days a lot ~~

One Week in Pontian ~

As planned with my sister, I will go back to Pontian to stay for one week after my confinemet at Taiping. So last Saturday, hubby fetched me back to Pontian. This coming Saturday, I will follow my sister's car back to KL, as my brother's convocation will be held on Sunday. We need to go and attend his convocation ^_^

Kimi has a few of his 'First' tries at Pontian. First time try to sleep on a 'sarung', first time try to drink milk from a milk bottle and first time try to feed him with a pacifier. Still trying to learn and get use to more new things... Hope he can accept them soon :)

I heard from my sisters that the cake was delicious!! Too bad I had no chance to taste it as I was in Taiping at that time. The full moon cake's box looks so cutie ^_^ Thanks to my sister for helping me to take the photos for me to see. Hehe... :)

Back to KL with Kimi

Two days ago, parents-in-law fetched baby Kimi and I back to KL... This is the first time Kimi back to his house in KL. Haha, so many things need to pack and bring back. The car was full with Kimi's stuffs... Hubby's grandma was with us as well. So she and MIL cooked for me for 2 days before they back to Taiping and I back to Johor. Thanks to both of them for the delicious food!!

Today is my first time for me to bath Kimi. Hehe... Very anxious. Luckily I managed it quite ok although it was not very professional. Hubby's grandma was at the side helping me. After she had cooked my lunch in the morning, she followed hubby's cousin to go back Taiping as PIL went back first yesterday. So, now I am at home alone with baby Kimi.

I had quite a tied-up day today. Busy packing to go back Johor tomorrow, busy washing Kimi's clothes and of course, busy feeding him and put him to sleep ^_^

So, tomorrow I will be going back Johor for one week with Kimi. Hurray!
