Happy Birthday to You, Mummy!

My wish this year is very simple...more time for the family especially Zoe. After watching her birthday video, Zoe more or less understand what is birthday celebration, song and cake. So, today when she saw the birthday cake, Zoe was very excited and insisted on going near to have a better glance. Yes, we had a hard time getting her away from the cake!

On the way back from dinner, we sang along Happy Birthday and suddenly Zoe wished me 'Happy Birthday to you, Mummy!' I'm so touched and this is the best birthday gift I received. Look forward for more birthdays to come :)

Happy Chinese New Year 2010

X'mas, Brother's Wedding, Bali Trip and now CNY all in 2 months. Well, I think I need time to update all the events for Zoe.

Besides all this, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL...!

What a good 2nd CNY with Zoe. Last year Zoe was still a little baby trying to figure out the fuzz of CNY and curious on the red packets she's getting.

This year Zoe understand CNY is a celebration and excited about the fuzz started to enjoy on the preparation with CNY songs, biscuits and 'ang pow'. Zoe accepted that she needs to say Gong Xi; Gong Xi to get ang pow.(Haha...actually she enjoyed the gesture of Gong Xi Gong XI than the ang pow). All the excitement made the little girl exhausted and is sleeping well now. Good nite, Zoe!

Happy Birthday, Ba-Ba

10 Oct is Daddy's birthday and Zoe has given Daddy a big..big present by calling him Ba-Ba for the first time. It was about 2 days ago, while Daddy is playing with Zoe, the little girl without any help called Ba-Ba. Definitely a Daddy's day!

Another dinner again. This time we're doing it at IOI Mall so that we could get some entertainment for Zoe while waiting for Daddy to finish work. Obviously, Zoe is enjoying herself with Merry-Go-Round and reluctant to stop until we allow her to go for a 2ND ride! Quite fun to see Zoe starts to open up for new things. When she was younger, we can't get her on a horse ride without hugging on her.

Whenever we go out for meals, we usually order something that can be shared with Zoe and while we're eating she can feed herself.

Celebrating PO PO's birthday

This is a backdated entry. This year we decided to have the birthday party in Jogoya and of course Zoe was present as well. As usual, Zoe is very excited on the surroundings and can't keep still.

Frequently, we have to take turns to bring Zoe out for a walk while waiting for her food as she starts to grab the Shabu-Shabu that Daddy plan to enjoy. I guess she feel more comfortable outside the restaurant which gave her more space to roam.

With Zoe's curious look, we can't help it but to take more pictures of her curiosity look. Loot at her, she's actually looking at the lantern outside Jogoya Restaurant.

While Zoe was roaming outside, Kao Fu and Su Yin Cheh Cheh took the opportunity to tantalize the foods and beverages in the restaurant. I can't imagine the amount of food they have taken while we're outside!

Although it's a quiet celebration, it's quite content and happy at the end of the day. Of course, Zoe's Mummy was exhausted after the dinner as the little girl is still too excited to sleep and has stay up till 10pm (Zoe usually sleeps at 7pm)

Yesterday we celebrated Moon Cake Festival a day early. Last year Zoe was just sleeping through the celebration. This year, she's not gonna miss it but she to enjoy herself even tough she's curious why we have to use candles when 'light light' is still on.

Zoe becomes very excited when Auntie Rinna brought new newborn puppy, Fido. Recognizing Fido instantly (Zoe was introduced to Fido last week when she visited Yee Po Agnes), Zoe wasted no time and start to pat Fido and following him wherever the little puppy plan to explore

All the activities really consume Zoe's energy and for the first time she fight with Kao Fu for nuggets. It's very unlike Zoe, who is a picky eater and frequently she will push us away whenever we introduce new food to her. Anyway, that night she enjoyed her nugget very much although I don't encourage on nuggets at early age. Well, just for this time.
I can see that Zoe enjoy being with people especially young children. Being the only toddler in the family, she misses being with her little friends so we have plans to bring her for trip or meeting with some outstation relative end of this month.

My 1st Birthday

17th May 2009 -Unofficially, today is Zoe's 1st birthday. We woke up early in the morning in order to take pictures with her in front of the "teddy bear" cake. Of course she loves teddy and try to touch it. We have no choice but to give Zoe her favourite biscuits to divert her attention from the cake. We have decided to have 'bear' as the theme of Zoe's cake as Zoe has known bear bear (that's Pooh Bear since she's born)
The birthday is quite a success where Zoe's little friend and, family and relative all turned up for the mini party and have left some messages for Zoe to ponder when she grow older.

Kao Fu's Registration Day....finally!

There's more to celebrate during this year CNY. My brother finally decided to get registered while waiting for the BIG CHINESE BANQUET next year. Early in the morning Gong Gong wake Zoe up and dress her like a princess. As if Princess Zoe sense the big day, she did not complain for all the fuss!

It's a simple ceremony in the Registrar Office but Zoe manage to enjoy herself playing the decor and make herself presence with 'bu', 'ahh!' and 'eh!'

Wishing Kao Fu all the best wishes!!

1st CNY Celebration with Zoe

CNY is an exciting day for Zoe, which is her first CNY celebration. Lanterns, lighting and fire crackers keeps Zoe awake all night, well she has decided to make sure she didn't miss out anything.

Before CNY, Zoe has only limited exposure to Daddy, Mummy, Gong Gong, Po Po, Mah Mah and of course Kao Fu Chai and Chek Chek. Therefore on 1st day of CNY, Zoe is quite agitated with people fussing around her. Luckily my 'Baby' get used to the environment fast and not long start mingle around with other relative. What's more, when she see little children, she has no reservation but to crawl to her 'little friends'.

1st day of CNY ended fast and Zoe is too exhausted that she slept on the way home to Semenyih. That's all for the 1st day. Good night Zoe!

Zoe's First X'mas

Zoe celebrated her 1st X'mas in 2008 when she is 5 months and 2 days. It's another exciting and exploration day for Zoe. She's fascinated with the lights on the X'mas tree and curious about all the fuss we have when putting up the tree. Of course by her own way, Zoe is helping ( she ensure her Mummy remembers to put up her Teddy Bear on the tree as well!)

We celebrated X,mas Eve in Citidel as a family. However the activities have speed up Zoe's exhaustion. She become very cranky even before we start of with our meal. Luckily, we managed to get a few shot of her with the party packs and oh yes...with Gong Gong and Po Po

The whole X'mas is quite tiring for the 1st timer but we're glad that Zoe enjoy unwrapping her present on X'mas night, where she stay up late just for this tradition.

To our Baby Zoe:

"This X'mas is a memorable X'mas for Daddy & Mummy coz 'Baby' has celebrated this meaningful day with us. We thank God for this special gift. We know that every step Baby takes will gives us different meaning and learning. WE LOVE U, BABY!"
