Happy 103 Birthday..

To all our fellow Sitiawan Foo Chow Settlers... although I don't think a lot of them are left. But they are preparing a true feast tonight, the usual 10 course meal, for all Sitiawanians!

This was the old "Pastor's house", don't think it's as old as 103, but should be at least 70+ now. It is now turned into the " Sitiawan Settlement Museum". Right next to this is Pioneer Church

I, myself, am a 3rd generation Foo Chow here in Sitiawan. It's definitely changed alot since I can remember, can only imagine when my great grand parents first arrived here to settle. I've heard a lot of stories from my grandma on my mum's side, she is 94 this year, to when the Japaness came and stuff when Chin Pin was around. This little town has survived quite a bit! My children are now 4th generation.. gosh... I'm definitely a !

Baby and more babies...

Tis a year full of weddings and babies...

My golly gosh.. Seems like everyone around me is having babies!!!
1. My childhood friend just had his first child, a boy, now a month old.
2. My God sis' sister, just had her 2nd, her first girl, 17 days ago.
3. My cousin just had his 3rd, his first girl, 11 days ago.
4. Jordan and Leen just had their first, a son. Congratulations guys!!!
5. Aida will be having hers soon.

And that's all within these 2 months.. I am kinda glad I'm not going to be around this Chinese New Year.. It's a tradition for the married couple to give Ang Pow(Red Packets, hubby calls it the Red Bomb) to those that is not yet married. The thing with Asian, we have really close family ties.. I'm really close to my father's side of the family, we all grew up together, went to school together and see each other every weekend while growing up, and still do now. They are all like my brothers and sisters. My dad has 5 siblings, each of them have 3 kids. So.. indirectly I have 17 brothers and sisters, including my own 2 brothers. So far only 2 of them have kids, both have 3 each. More should be coming next year, as 2 are married this year and 2 early next year. My mum has 11 brothers and sisters, she is the 2nd youngest, all of her brothers and sisters have 4-6 kids, and most of those are married with 3-4 kids of their own. Thank God I'm not as close to that side of the family and don't see ALL of them during Chinese New Year!!!

As for Hubby's side of the family, both my FIL and MIL have 1 brother, and one have 2 girls and one have 1 girl and 2 boys. And hubby has only one sister. hm.. so where am i going to spend CNY?? Only unfortune thing is the airticket to get to them!

Calling all breastfeeding mums...

Or mums that have breastfed their child.. I need stories and pictures for me to post up on divineMums .

Lost : My Babies....

We had stopped going to the pool for about 9 months and we decided to go back about 2 weeks ago, the kids were very nervous about getting into the pool, but once Kaitlyn was in the pool she was alright, took her only 10 mins to start swimming all by herself, of coz with the help of those arm floaties,, these are great.. it allows the kids to still use their arms and Kaitlyn loves them!!

As for Caleb it took him about half an hour to just relax and enjoy being in the water coz he was soo nervous. Once he was use to the water, he didn't want to get out!!

But yesterday, we went to the pool again after 2 weeks, they are all experts now!!! Kaitlyn can swim the full lenght (it's not a big pool but still about 10 m) of the pool all by herself, no stops, no gulping in water, she swam like a little pro.. And Caleb refused for anyone to aid him and was floating with these and even swam 5 m, as well, ALL BY HIMSELF!!

Where have my babies gone???

Football player of the future..

Can anyone tell me if any other 17 months old can drop kick??? Coz my son can drop kick!!

He has been kicking a ball around since 12 months and he is able to kick it straight to where he wants it to go to. We don't know of anyone with a 17 months old that can do that, so we thought we would ask if anyone else have seen anything like this.

If he is telanted in football, although his dad would prefer him to play rugby, we want to know! :)
