First Holiday - Star Cruise

It has been a long long time since we went on a holiday. So we decided to try out on a cruise and let Ray spend some time with his grandparents, dai pak and pak leong and of cos...to celebrate ma ma mui's birthday.


What is cruise without good food right? So the moment we checked into our room, we gathered and ventured off to find food.

We got the room with balcony as we have never stay in one before and they were doing promotion. Look at Ray and how he is enjoying the vast sea.


And of cos...the pool!! Look at the father and son having fun. Ok not so fun cos Ray was dying to get into the pool but pa pa mui insisted on the pictures first. Thats why Ray was looking so vexed.


Of cos the highlight of this 2D2N cruise was my birthday celebration. Pa pa mui ordered a cake specially made for me on the cruise as part of the birthday celebration as a surprise for me.



Oh....i am 1 year older again

The Gift Of Love

We were cracking our brains trying to decide what to buy Ray as his first birthday. Something that would last.....something meaningful, something that he can hold and look at when he grows older. That is when we decided on a silver spoon from Tiffany. You can never be too young to have something from Tiffany.


Here's Ray checking his new gift out....


And the finished product after we got it engraved.

We believe that this spoon will bring him happy memories and that he will always be happy.

Crazy Family

We are getting insane....from what? Every weekend, we searched high and low for clothes that we can coordinate with Ray, may it be color, stripes etc. It has become a habit for both ma ma and pa pa mui.

I was quite appalled with the dressing alike idea, but since having Ray, it has given me a new prospective...like telling pple that we are a family. But.....i still get people asking me if ray is a boy or gal.....even when he is dressed in BLUE!!

Who cares really, it has been 12 months already so i have given up being upset when pple said he is a gal. He is my baby anyway.

Private Party - Actual Birthday

Last year today, we met Ray in the delivery suite. He didnt cry and appeared to be sleeping when he was brought into the world. My lazy bum....nothing can wake him up from his nap.

A year later, we witnessed his growth. From a crying baby to a whining one. Who knows how to use his cuteness to get things done and knowing that he can get away with things. The only person who refused to subduced to his charm is ME!! Ok ok....i lied, there have been moments when i let in too. Like the experts say, u can never spoil the baby enough.

Today, we had a small celebration at home and Ray got to open all his birthday presents that he got from his last party.


Thank you all for your well wishes and presents. Knowing that your presents will bring Ray many moments of joy.

Ray's 1st Birthday

Today marks an extremely important day for all of us. Ray is ONE today (just 4 days short to be extact). My family as usual has all the tradition stuff line up for Ray. He needs to go over to have a ceremony where it apparently mark his profession in his future.


In this picture, u will see a calculator (accountant to be), a drumstick (foodie), ruler (lawyer), stethoscope (doctor), an egg (dont know why) and some longetivity noodles. Knowing Ray...the foodie, i was quite surehe will grab the drumstick. But the moment he was left on the floor, he literally jump at the egg!! He must be thinking that he left his favourite toy aka ball there. OK, so no verdict for his profession.

The real celebration started at 4.30pm as we organised a BBQ party for Ray and he invited all his cousins and friends to join him in this important milestone.


Here's father and son looking really excited abt the party....and they even made an effort to dress alike. And here's Ray entertaining his guests.















And of cos not birthday is completed without a cake!! Look at Ray and how happy he is looking....he must be thinking, just wait till i sink my teeth into that cake.


It has been a unbelievable year for us. From conceiving to giving birth and watching Ray grow and learning new stuff. He can clap his hands when being told. And when u say HELLO, he will put his hand on his ear, mimicking us making calls. And when u say NOSIY, he will put both his hands to his ears. All these are simple stuff that he amazes us everyday. I am so glad that the 3 of us are all coping well and staying sane.

To be able to see Ray's smile everyday is the greatest achievement in life.
