Hope you like you're gift!

Let's go to the zoo!!!!

Isabel got invited to her first birthday party. The party took placed at the ZOO. I guess mummy n daddy was more excited than Isabel. Not too sure if she enjoyed it but we enjoyed taking her and showing her the animals. Our Zoo is kinda sad, animals don't look very happy...I guess who would be if you're caged up all the time. Anyhow, Isabel got to see her favorite animal the Elephant. By the time we got to the elephant she's was already very tired and sleepy :)

Chinese New Year!! MOO MOO YEAR!!!

Well, I just realized that it's been over a month since my last post. I was really busy getting ready for CNY...stressed out mostly. Trying to get everything done in such short time. I managed to complete all my task though. However, the whole CNY happened so fast hardly had time to enjoy and the usual stuff. This year only got to "Loh Sang" once :( plus didn't really get to play mahjong...*sob*sob

Once again we headed back to Penang, the journey was ok, took us about 4 hours plus to reach. We sat in daddy's new car...first time back to Penang. Packing and loading took about 1 hour. We only had 1 suitcase, the rest of the car boot was filled with Isabel's things. We spent about a week there :) Isabel loved collecting angpows :) anything red and shinny she will grab. LOL

Daddy in his new car!!!

Mommy and Daddy's Anniversary Dinner

We were supposed to have this dinner last year during our 1 year anniversary but couldn't since baby Isabel arrival. Therefore we had to postpone it. Thank god the hotel was nice enough to extend it. We had our little dinner at Bossanova, Parkroyal. Brazillian food. The food was awesome, we even had lobster. Isabel was really interested to eat it though. She was fussing alot that night, wanting lots of attention :P But the 3 of us had a good time.

Doctor's Visit - 4 Months

This time around doc say everything is good and ok. I'm just a little under weight :P I guess that's because I'm very active. I weigh 5.3kg now and I'm 61cm long. This time around also didn't make a fuss or cry when I got my jabs. Quite brave :) Only cry a little when doc tried to feed me the Rotavirus medication (I have to take it orally) :( Doc says cannot waste cost lots of money.

Mummy and I made it to the doctors and back fine without daddy this trip. I'm a big girl now and can sit in my seat on my own now.

Mummy caught me with my toes today...also tried out my new yoga pose.
Cool Ya!!!

I'm 4 months old :P

Time really flies when you're super busy. The days seems to passed on by really fast. The little one is already 4 months old. This is what she can do now....she has progressed so much and so fast its unbelievable.

• smile spontaneously
  
• laugh out loud
• on stomach raise chest, supported by arms
• grasp a rattle
• reach for an object
• squeal in delight
• roll over (one way)
• making all sorts of noises - very talkative
• able to place big toe in the mouth
• sucking her hands and fingers
• drooling more (waiting for the tooth to appear)
  
• very interested in mummy's n daddy's food (not sure if we should start her on solids yet)
• attention seeker

Also part 2 of her video talking to daddy. She's quite talkative and very loud this week. Calls you when she needs attention and some one to entertain her. She keeps both mummy and daddy busy all the time.

This is her with her favorite elephant toy.

Happy New Year 2009

Prosperity that's unlimited, Year round fun!

Here's wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!!!

Little Hoong Yann's First Christmas :)

This year is baby's first Christmas, we didn't do much but it was somewhat a busy day for us. The night before we had dinner with mama and came home later change into my pee jays (sponsored by Aunty Linli). The next morning, got up early and had my bath and changed into my Christmas outfit (also sponsored by Aunty Linli). I look so cute in it. especially with the reindeer hat. After my nap, mummy and Aunty Leona took me to Aunty Yen's Christmas Party!!!! I guess I was still sleepy so I was fussing a lot and then knocked out there, even though the place was so happening and noisy. I slept the whole journey back :P

Once we got home, I played with Grandma and for the first time I was able to laugh out loud (chuckle chuckle all the way). Also Grandma made me wear her wig, this is me with lots and lots of hair. How do I look?

Christmas Shopping

After goin home and taken my bath, mommy and daddy decided to go out to do some Christmas Shopping. We headed over to the Curve then to 1Utama in the evening. I love being pushed around in my stroller and love going 'kai kai' a lot :P

Pindipata at Brickfields Temple

This is my first time back to the temple since I was born. Mummy and daddy dragged me out of bed on Sunday to go the temple. I was at my best behavior till the whole ceremony started. When it was finally our turn, I was crying lots. It was really a hot morning and i missed my bath time. Right after the ceremony, we went to the main shrine hall to get blessing from the monk. The monk said that I'm very fierce as I was making a fuss while he was doing the blessing :P
Anyhow, once we got into the car and on the way home I was ok :)

Mummy thinks she heard me laugh out loud 2 days ago. She's been trying to get me to laugh again so that she can video me :P but not yet lor Mummy is also waiting for the time when I can fall asleep on my own and not depend on mummy to put me to sleep.

Merry Christmas and Ho Ho Ho

"You better watch out!

Both my parents bought this cute reindeer band from Tesco and they made me wear it :P Evil Parents hehehehe Anyhow, would like to wish everyone Merry Christmas from the three of us here :P Happy Holidays !!!!

My first Holiday - Damai Laut Resort

Daddy had some time off and decided that we should go on a family trip to either Pangkor Island or Cameron Highlands. So mummy was in charge of finding a place so that we can go on my first holiday. It's raining season now and also school holidays, mummy had a tough time finding accommodation in Cameron at this last minute trip. Pangkor Island was also fully booked. So the next best choice was Damai Laut. Near the sea and not too far away from home.

We left Thurs morning around noon. Daddy's car was packed with all my stuff :P We had lunch at the Sg. Buloh Jejantas before we headed off to Lumut. Traffic was ok, I slept all the way there. Took us about 3 and a half hours to reach Damai. Our room was really nice, I even had my own bed :) I also love taking bath in the long bath tub. I had so much fun that I didn't want to get out hehehe was fussing alot when mummy took me out. Mummy and daddy also took me to the beach but I was so sleepy that morning I slept thru the scenic walk.



Daddy n Mummy had dinner at a nearby Seafood Restaurant called Hailam Seafood Restaurant. Food there was really good and reasonable. It was really nice to spend so much time with daddy and mummy. We should do it more often :)

Weekend Trip to Penang

Aunty Leona - Drifting Donut :P

2 weeks ago, my mom decided to drive to Penang as Leona had a Red Bull Event there. So my mom asked if I wanted to tag along, bring baby to see Grandpa and also Grand Uncle and Aunty in Penang. Since, Phil had lots of program on in the weekend, I decided to tag along. Only had like 3 hours to pack stuff before my mom came to pick us up. The whole car was filled pretty much with all baby stuff. It's like moving house :P

We left around 7pm, was rather jam and it started to rain too. Isabel sat in her car seat less than 30 mins before making a huge fuss. The whole journey there both my mom and I carried her as she slept thru till we got to Penang at Midnight.

We stayed at Ah Nyeong place as it was easier, both my mom and aunt can help me take care of her. My MIL was in India. Must thank cousin Sze Wye for giving up his room. Baby slept ok but I guess had hard time adjusting, since she cried alot. I guess new schedule and place didn't agree so well with her. But overall, managed ok. The very next day we met Grandpa for dinner at "5 STAR", unfortunately...she fuss fuss again :( mummy sad cause couldn't calm her down. Found out the reason she was fussing was that she wanted to poop but couldn't until we got back.

I love to see the world pass me by n also love sucking my hands :)

We left Monday after lunch. We had lunch in Island Glades and then we pop over to see Grandpa before taking off. During our ride home, she slept thru till we reach back KL. Her daddy misses her alot that weekend, although he had some quite time alone :) We will visit Penang soon probably end of the year to see the Grandparents again.

Nagomi Restaurant

Philip has always wanted to take there to eat. The last attempt didn't turn out so well, bad service from the Hartamas Branch. This time we tried at the new Jaya 33 outlet. Food was yummy...very hot I must say since its shabu shabu. Was great to eat sashimi again :) The only thing was we could eat all together. We had to take turns as baby was fussing alot. But we managed ok :) We finally got her to sleep in the end. Phew!!!! what a night!!
