5 months to be

My dear sweetie Micaiah is nearly 5 months old. Phewww, how time flies! I am hoping everyday that he will not grow up too soon; that he will remain mommy's little boy for as long as he can. He is such a bundle of joy, and he's turning into a little cheeky pumpkin pie. 

This was the look he gave when i put his pants on his head. Hahahahaha.

Tomorrow is the last day of CNY. And Little Micaiah wishes everyone a blessed and happy new year ahead! 

Mommy loves you soo much, my cheeky dear!

Sigh, i am resuming my masters in 1.5 weeks after a long break ..... and I will sure think of my boy in lectures!

CNY and Valentine's Day

My sweetie pie greeting us a wonderful Lunar New Year

I have died everyday waiting for you; darling dont be afraid i have loved you for a thousand years;i'll love you for a thousand more....

 

 

Happy Belated Valentine's Day and Gong Xi Gong Xi folks! How did your hols go? We had a very quiet festive season here in Melbourne; it's not a public holiday and people don't celebrate here but we do have firecrackers and carnival events, which shows that the chinese population is growing in this city.

 

Valentine's Day was like any other day for us too, except that we managed to steal some time to watch Les Miserables. Wasn't tat a great movie? Love it, although i find it a bit tad too long.

 

Though quiet, Micaiah had a great time embracing his first Lunar New Year. My uncle (his granduncle) and his family came and had a reunion lunch with us. Both Michael and I worked hard that day to prepare the spread and it was a great time gathering and feasting with each other. Thank God for CNY!

 

The spread minus the abalones!

 

I tried to make it looked more 'CNY'.

 

I also managed to make CNY goodies such as the must have pineapple tarts, peanut cookies, date cookies, seaweed crackers, nian gao popiahs (yes!! n they were good), kek lapis and roasted nuts. Gave some to the moms in my playgroup, neighbour, friends and uncle.

 

On the third day of CNY, we took some time out to the beach in Frankston which is about an hour drive from Melbourne. It was the first long car trip for Micaiah, and ended up a rather unpleasant one as he was getting uncomfortable and started crying hard before we even got home! My poor dear was so terrified; it took us some time to comfort and calm him down. Was it the infant seat or the fact that it is facing backwards that upsets him? Nowadays he seems to dislike car trips, and i mean a lot.

 

Well this is my rock star trying to cover from the shinning sun and heat at the beach. Haha.

 

We are having more visitors tomorrow for steamboat and i am still comtemplating if i should bake a cheesecake. OR maybe not. LOL.
