it's been a long time...

Well, it's sure been a long long time since my last entry huh? Sori for the loooonnnggg abence, but in Oct Nov  there was an earthquake in Taiwan which caused all our all-important-Xanga updates to be on hold. Because we had no international internet coverage...so as much as i wanted to update u all i couldnt, so here are some backdated events that has happended in our lives...and boy so much has happened...behold for pics overload...

Firstly,

Mummy taught me how to blow a week before my BIG day and i really did it too, i was so proud of myself  and 

Shortly after that we celebrated Daddy's bday... 

I'm ready to join the girls now Mummy!

 ...these are not aunties' normal faces, it's a 'funny-face' pic just to make sure u know...(*wink*)

Then Of Course, Mummy and My favourtie time...

and everyone graduated securely...

it was sad, esp for Mummy to say good-bye to Aunty L who left to join her hubby in the US. And also farewell Aunty S who left to go as an M to Hainan. But PTL for having gone thru these studies and the time together and the great breakthru's and revelations, leading and guiding of our Father in their lives.

And we celebrated XMas together and another time with our fellwship.

 of course everyone jus luved their gifts!

Daddy and our Ps. joined us too...

We also celebrated XMas with English Corner with an Elephant Gift Exchange, but unfortunatly some were not happy with their gifts...oh well, maybe next year???

 and i came to visit after Mummy's lesson too...

We had friends come to visit from Europe as well, which were a great help for Mummy!

Aunty Serene came to visit us. It was a great time catching up again after so long and we took her to have the famous 'Hakka' food...

Then, after all that, we travelled to Thnd for our conference and spent CHinese New Year with Daddy's family in KL, Malaysia. It was just great for everyone to meet me and I them, taste the yummy yummy food, Daddy couldn't get enuff of it, and to have the nice nice warm warm weather!

We also attended Anthea's Gu-Gu's wedding

 Are u sure it's real Daddy? 

Cause i don't think it really is u know...

I also got to experience, feel and see the sun, sand, water and beach!

 Is that Me or My shadow Mummy?

Hi-5 anyone???

 Daddy's favourite Swim-Suit-Shot

Am having such a relaxing and

the time of my life here...

On Daddy's shoulders is where i always want to be...on top of the world...

and of course with Mummy too!

And I spent the best time with Grampa-pa and Grandma-ma

Grandpa-pa, i need to make a good impression, i need my precious face wiped clean first...

Oh well, at least Grandma-ma knows wot I'm talking about...

While on our conference, it was a blessing to meet with a few jie-jie's (big sisters) who were more than willing to look after me. And jie-jie celebrated her 8th bday with banana splits for all! 

Hey gals, ummm, i can't seem to see my Mummy and Daddy..!!.??...are we on the right route?

But I got to go climbing and swinging on different things, which i luv!

 I jus luv the tunnels and slides

also jus luv the see-saw

I got to play a bit of chess as well  

And we went on an elephant ride 

 My favourite Sar-Chek Kung and Sar-Jim Por in KL.  ya, i thought i'd be the best dressed with sporting jus my nappy... 

                    I

I jus luv giving cuddles to Anthea Gu and Uncle Dan...can't u tell? but seriously i luved every bit of it...i'm just trying to contain it...

While in KL, we also, caught up with some of Mummy and Daddy's OCF dear friends from almost 10years ago,

And of course, don't we all get those Unfortunate... 'Bad Hair Days!!!'...well, wot 2 do?

How does Tiana smile?

Everybody sing La-La-La.... (from the Wiggles)

  And let me tell u the real deal...

 Some like to Pry and Praise J kneeling,

some like to lie down,

some with one hand lifted, but i like to go all the way and be a little charismatic with both hands...this is how Tiana Praises' J.....

We spent out first CNY in KL

and My First trip to Thlnd... ...stay tuned, more updates to come...

X-MaS in HoNg KoNg

Daddy, Mummy and I had to take a trip to HoNg KoNg to renew MY VISA...yes believe it or not, as little as i may be, i need a visa too!  I'm pretty important too...and u know wot when we arrived at our hotel, Cosmo, we received a free upgrade from a superior room to a junior suite with 2 rooms, 2 ballrooms, 2 flatscreen tv's, a computer and the all important cot for me, for absolutely...free!!!  Yes, this was a such a blessing and treat for all of us. And Mummy and Daddy were able to relax and catch up on their English programs on cable while i enjoyed my sleep in the other room...

 and enjoying the nice crisp fresh sheets of a hotel...

We decided to stay on Hong Kong Island this time round just to explore this side of the island, and at Times Square, Xmas was everywhere...such a change to BJ...and it was so nice and warm-er...

 ...jus doing some stroll-by-shopping 

Which one should i choose Mummy?  

  ...it's a pretty hard choice...

Mummy and Daddy jus absolutely luved the food, Daddy put on 2kgs in just 5days and i of course enjoyed the char-sui bow...like a local with my leg up...of course...wot else...

 Anyone for Fired-Ribs?  ...even the locals reckon it's a "sight"...

Daddy jus couldn't resist taking this 'OBEY' one to remind me,  

                                                                                              ...for the future, am sure...

and a typical street in HK  

all this discovering HK Island is all too interesting, exciting and tiring for me...

                                                    and Mummy and Daddy are always trying to trick me...

hooray hooray heating is here!!!

Daddy, Mummy and I have been waiting for our central heating to come on the 15Nov. In some areas it is earlier, but ours has just begun. Tho, it is not as hot as i had hoped or imagined, but is a great imrpovement...now my room temp with the help of extra heaging is at 19 deg to Mummy and Daddy's relief, bec previously, the temperature was bordering from 12-14 deg which is cold, even for my little bones...

we all hav been busy with ministry stuff, mummy's been busy with english corner and the girls meeting, counselling, cooking baking sessions; daddys busy with work, brothers meet and sharing on sundays, will update more on these...

Well, it was the first day of WInTeR on 10th Nov and boy did we experience some strong strong winds a few weeks ago when we were walking back from chuch. i couldnt keep my eyes open, my tiny ears were beginning to be frozen. Did u know the wind was soooo strong that we found out later it was -2degees!!!  and we are not in the middle of winter yet!  So we are making the most out of the few good days we have here, before winter really sets in, which will only get cold, colder and colder .

and Mummy and Daddy and I decided to take a stroll after chrch Sun avo,  jus to make the most of a nice afernoon. a nice afternoon here consits of the 'sun,' even tho in certain areas it may be cloudy, or could it be the smog, or could it be just burnt marshmallows scattered here and there? or could it simply be polution? well, i tend not to think of the latter one, otherwise it will depress me by thinking of my poor little lungs, but thats ok, daddy got some really shots...these series were taken near mummy and daddy's uni, where they studied for 5mths when they first arrived before me...

here's mummy and me...yes, its colder now that i can use the boot for my stroller to keep my tiny little tooties warm. When we got home, i kinda fell asleep, and i woke in my cot with a runny nose ...and i had a few layers on too, lotsa lotsa layers, thanks to mummy, i'm becoming like a chinese baby, all bundled up like a ball...

 i even hav to don gloves now, this is my Hi-5!

u mean another kool smile daddy? mmm...uummm...let me think about it...

this is where mummy and daddy studied their chinese, pretty impressive huh? i mean the building...Beijing Yu Yuan Da Xue, Beijing Language and Cultural University.

 hogging the uni road, well its my grampa's road u know...

like the autumn leaves?

...it was such an exciting exhausting day of smiles sights sounds smells... and scenery...

 Just hanging around with my all-time-favourite daddy

Mummy says I can soon graduate from the BabyBjorn soon, cause I'm getting too big and too heavy 

 i jus couldnt contain my laughter...actually it's my new 'no eyes trick'

this is my......"I'm gonna catch u!"...look

We were so blessed and had a great time with Uncle Oli, Aunty Les, Tobi ge-ge and Ethan ge-ge. 

They were such a blessing to us and delivered my much needed cereal, and long awaited supplies for mummy and daddy...(junk food of course)...i'm the only

healthy one, thanks again guys, so much!!!

Just hanging out with the boys, Ethan ge-ge lent me his cap and gave me pointers in how to be cool...it's a tuff job...

  Yi He Yuen...aka... Summer Palace, in summer

                          Quiz:::can u find me in the midst of the crowd...???

...some keep puppies, others kittens and few would have these as pets...

A little brother in his local stroller, quite comfy dun u all think??? beats the authenticity of mine...

Mummy, Daddy and Me had the priviledge of meeting our company's (PI) American pychologist, Uncle Dave...there are so many Uncle Dave's I just cant keep track of them all, but this Uncle Dave was so funny i could'nt keep my eyes open in

laughter...he just cracked me up 

mummy and daddy wanted to know how to serve and minister effectively with the local couples, he was such a blessing, I sure hope we see this Uncle Dave again...

We had yet another late night after mummy's 'secure womans business'...11.45pm but not as late as last weeks 12am, and earlier yet with 3weeks ago's, 2am...but PTL there has been a great time of sharing, heart-to-heart, G's revelations, speaking and Word into each individuals live, lots of tears and tissues...most importantly, changed hearts and renewed closeness and luv in and for the L!

mummy's English Corner has just been growing and growing, its been amazing...there have been new friends coming who are not part of the family, so we are always thinking of them, and if u do hav the time pls think of them dearly too...

mummy and i, together with aunty suz , went to visit a Xian kindy!  That took us 2hours on public transport, filled with people, but unlike being pregnant, if u hav a child in any shape or form, anyone will generously give u a seat, so mummy and i always are guaranteed of a seat, esp, when i am bouncing around in the baby bjorn...thats pretty kool, but i can't say too much about the little princes and princesses here, excluding me of course!  The kindy was incredible, the standards are that in the western countries, if not better, i must say.  And all the workers are part of the family, and they can even put scriptures up but of course not referring to the source...is truly amazing...   oh, and they even hav a choice of quatties or sit down ones too!!! and of i tested all play equipment, and am happy to say they are up 2 standards and pass regulations. yeah, i dun know where all the kids are too...

Here is me on my other friend, Kylie jie jie's 'space rider'  It makes out of this world, chinese sounds that can drive the neighbours wild, but i kinda like it. It taught me how to take a few steps n go zooming, and everyone says i'd be walking soon, yeah well, i secretly think so too...daddy reckons i'll be running soon...

here are my pearly whites, and i hav one additional upper left and its twin on its way...i was on panadol clockwork when my bottom molars began to appear but they hav been a no show, instead the 2front ones are popping up like crazy...i grind them now and drive mummy crazy...

i am a professonal "peek-a-boo-er" now, and my pleases are pretty good too!

ps. this was taken b4 my upper front teeth appeared...just in case u were searching for them...
