Not so familiar faces

Well in this matter, I think Keith is not faring as well as Nicole..... he is really very picky on who is carrying him.

This was what happened that day, we made sure that Keith saw me carrying and cuddling Nicole, and Grandma kept saying to him, "Look daddy sayang Nicole"

Keith wasn't so happy about me carrying Nicole, and even more uneasy with me cuddling Nicole. He kept whining for me to carry him as I put down Nicole and Elaine passed Keith to my sister...... This was what I managed to capture :D

Yup, he wasn't so attached to my sister and his maternal grandma too.... He is ok with the rest but just a few people only got this kind of uneasy treatment.

Keith's Walker

This is Keith's new toy, which my sis bought from the toy shop in Kimberly Street, Penang. (How I wish I was the one buying it, because then I can have some of the famous "Kueh Chiap")

Currently he is still adapting to it but the funny thing is he would lift up his legs for you to push him around and would only put it down when you leave him alone. I guess he doesn't quite like the idea of sitting on the walker. My guess is perhaps the music that cames out when you press the buttons is a little too loud for him.

Then I might as well also spam a bit with my picture too la...... just to compare a bit but in B&W la :P

With these picture of ours you can also see how the walker have evolved also!!!!

Holding his own bottle (part II)

Before this Keith was only able to take up the bottle in the rocking cradle, as in my previous - Holding his own bottle because he have had the support from the side of the sarung. Recently he is able to grab whatever interest him, and it all goes to the direction of his mouth! He is drooling a lot too!!!!

Now Elaine is trying to teach him to hold his own bottle and he does it quite well for a while before the silicone teat comes out his mouth.

This is the picture of him holding his bottle in the cot.

Nicole's Swing

Nicole have had a swing since she was about Keith's age. Her parents and grandma used to put pillow all around her for her to sit on. (I will update a picture of that later on because I have lost those pictures when I reformatted my old laptop.

Recently my sis brought the swing to my place for Nicole to play with. Whenever Nicole sits on the swing and started to swing Keith will stare at her attentively. Grandma kept asking him if he wanted to sit on it.

Look at how she put up one of her legs...... so BECAman leh!!!!! (Sigh! I guess it runs in the family...... my sis and my one or two of my cousins, I know of, used to like to sit like that too when they were small - I still remember that my cousin used to answer to the elders that if she don't take that leg up, she cannot eat so we ended up calling this pose "sitting like a lan chia pek")

BECAman - the trishaw man or the "lan chia pek" Lifting up one leg or squatting while they eat is the common practise of the trishaw man in Penang during the old days when they eat at their favourite stalls which were the ones located in Queen Street and Magazine Road. In fact some of the them still maintain the bench with the additional small wooden blocks, to sit on while squatting on the bench. (Sorry la, no picture because I haven't gone back to Penang for quite a while already) I think I am diverting out of the topic already

Grandma decided to let Keith try to sit on the swing too and she took some pictures with her phone (that will be the pictures on the right) and I took some today too.

Keith turning over

Grandma advised me to snap the photo of Keith after he turned over because he is able to hold his head up now and for now he is still ok to stay at that position for a while before he start to whine again. Also just before he start to crawl away too :P

Yesterday Grandma cooked for us and we have our meals at home. She gave some potatoes, from one of the dish, to Keith and he started to want more too. Lately he is drooling more and has became more demanding and commanding too. Commanding you to carry him, walk him or play with him.

The 37" LCD TV from MBf

The LCD TV have arrived on the 26th July morning, just before I leave home for work. As the delivery man was carrying the box in, my god-mother (also my eldest maternal aunt) called my mum. I was rather surprised to be informed that they didn't know that I have won the MBf promo for June. Sigh! Despite me posting it on my blog :(

Here is the picture I took of the box before I leave home

The someone wanted to take picture with the TV box as well
In this Box is supposed to be a pic. Refresh or click here for a bigger pic

That night itself, upon reaching home after work, I took down my old 34" TV (which was so bulky that it requires 2 people just to lift it up (my sis took this one back in her new Myvi) But the LCD was much more manageable that I set it all up and even carried it all by myself. I took the Belkin Surge Protector off my home PC and used it on the LCD TV instead because it came with insurance and lifetime warranty too.

Picture wise it is good enough for me and I like the VGA input because I can use that with my laptop.

Sorry that I have to take this picture with the flash on.
(Please ignore the exposed wirings...... I am yet to find time to conceal them :P )

Those of you whom wanted to find out more of the LCD TV, especially those whom were waiting for the arrival of their winning TV, it is the S8 Series and here is the link to the catalog

My apologies for not updating this blog as often....... As you all know that I multitask between working (making drinks) and surfing during my working hours. But recently we were rather short-staffed and we were not able to cope with the sudden big crowds that kept coming and going all at the same time. I guess this situation would persist until Elaine is able to employ a new wait staff.

Funny Sleeping Habit (part II)

I have mentioned of Keith's funny sleeping habit, he needs to cover his head/eyes while he sleeps. I did manage to capture a few more of his and his cousins too, Nicole and Yong Jin.

Covering with the hanky, sometimes even to the extend of his whole face too.

But at times he would make do of whatever he find comfortable, like our comforter and the ear of his soft toy cat

Then we have Nicole whom would always hold on to her teddies when she is going to sleep. As soon as she falls asleep she would be swimming around and everything would be thrown everywhere

As for Yong Jin, he would tire himself (and it will take 3 adults to tire him) and fall asleep with the help of the corner of his sleeping pillow stuck to his nose.

Buffet at Jogoya

As promised, I have managed to post up this one after spending quite a while. I hope you all would understand my situation. I write my posts whenever I can spare the time while working in the restaurant, which is very tough because I am the one who makes the drinks and laptop & water doesn't go along very well.

You must be thinking that I would be showing you with a lot of food pictures, if you are then you have my apologies. That night was a rather eventful night for all of us. As too many things have happened but I will just briefly narrate the pictures.

After we were guided to our table, which was the same table that we sat the last time, all the adults, including Elaine, got themselves rather busy locating the food, with all the clips taken too. I was left to care for the 2 kids, Yong Jin and Keith

Keith was relaxing on the baby carrier

And Yong Jin got busy imitating a drummer with the chopsticks

The first adults to come back to the table was Aunty May and her husband, of course they started eating too and Yong Jin stopped drumming as well :P

Then Elaine came back with some food too and she insisted she wanted to try putting Keith on the baby chair.

In the end she decided to let Keith sit on the baby carrier and she went to get more stuffs off the buffet. Next to come back to the table was Grandma, who got herself a plate full of scallops (those with shells on)

Last but not least came Uncle Jason and his girlfriend (wife to-be soon)

After they finished their first round of meal, they took turns to carry Keith, giving Elaine and I some opportunity to gobble down some of the goodies :P

At that point of time, Yong Jin was chowing down some fruits already. I think his parents are already on their 3rd round :P

Then suddenly Keith whined and after a few minutes he vomitted. Funny thing was he was smiling while Elaine was busy changing his clothes.

As a complimentary we were given a birthday cake but was informed twice that we are not allowed to take it back.

Then comes the birthday song, with Yong Jin getting all excited and clapping along because that is his favourite song

Before the candle is blown, someone took a cherry out, which he aimed at for quite a long time.

Ummm..... Tasty!!!!

This is how the cake looked like after having the cherry taken. I wonder why the birthday boy(uncle) doesn't want to blow the candle leh?

Now everyone wanted to take more pictures with the cake. It is so hard to get everyone to co-operate to look at the camera all at the same time :(

Like Keith whom suddenly burst out his cries

And on the other side Yong Jin was playing fish with his mummy with his grandma carrying him and holding his hands too.

Another look at the cake, see how short the candle have gotten and still the birthday boy is yet to blow it. Btw, did u notice that 3 cherries are missing already.

When he settled down and was about to blow his candle, we realise that we were not given a knife to cut the cake :P

But anyway he went ahead to blow his candle but not without any help. In fact it is not one whom helped but two.

After blowing the cake, nobody seem interested in eating the cake as there is much more better selection on the buffet. Even Keith wanted some from the buffet. Look how he kept staring at the cakes

He even tried to grab the cakes too

Upon returning to the table, this is what I saw happened to the birthday cake.
There was a video taken too, might upload that if I've got the time

(Picture taken by May)

After eating such a BIG cake, he did some exercises and showed us some of his kungfu moves

Last but not least, this is the picture of the mess we left. Of course there would be more if the waitstaff have not clear the plates as we finished our food

Sadly I realised that I was the only one without a picture taken that night :(

Keith and his 5th Jab

On Tuesday we went for to see the paed for Keith's 5th month jab. As the doctor told us that we were not required to see her on the 4th month, she fixed the appointment on the 5th month. The wait was rather long because there was quite a lot of people to see the doctor. Although we got there rather early but we still have to wait quite a while. As for Keith, he took his milk at 5.30am and hardly wanted anything else but our fingers to bite on :P

She advised us to change the baby bath as it is drying Keith's skin and to apply baby oil/olive oil on his scalp too. In fact, We were rather surprised to be told that she will be giving Keith 2 jabs.

He cried when he was given his jabs but as soon as we got into the car, he stopped crying. But he was being very moody the whole day and we had to give him the Paracetamol that the doctor prescribed because he felt rather warm. He took his milk at about 12pm before going to sleep on the spring cradle.

Your Vital-Stats:
Weight: 6.6kg
Height: 61cm
Head Circumference: 40cm

This is how moody he looked that night at Jogoya. Yup, he went along with us too, since it is his Uncle Jason's request to bring him and Yong Jin along. (Grandma said she didn't want to go because her legs was aching and it is tough to go there and chase after Nicole all the time :P)
His Aunt May bought him these new shirt that he is wearing in the pic.

More updates on Jogoya another time, still working on that

Sneak Peak

I am just gonna post a very short one today as I am gonna work on what we did last night and I will just wanna show you a little of what I am gonna work on :D

In this Box is supposed to be a pic. Refresh or click here for a bigger pic

The reason for the delay is because we took 2GB+ of pictures and videos. I only have a 512MB card so luckily I was prepared, I took along my laptop :P

And this is what we had last night :) - As mentioned before in my earlier post, it was my BIL's treat, which he insisted on paying for all of us.
