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.

First Pool Swim

We finally got the chance to hit the pool with Ray. Intitally we thought Ray might freaked out with the water. So we let him sat in the pool, slowly getting used to the temperature of the water.


But he was so comfortable in water then he couldnt take his eyes off it.




There was even moment when i caught Ray drinking water from the pool!!

And next he was having a smashing time with the water that we even kept away from him and just watched from a distance.


Afterwards, he flashed us this cheeky smile, a smile that say....."Now u know i am good" smile.

Attention!! (11 Months)

Ray has started to learn how to stand up with the support of furniture and he is so good at it that he has started to climb onto the TV console as well.

This video was taken under the supervision of us. In this house, we believe in supervised freedom. Human rights is STRONG in this house. Hahahaha....



PS: Sorry abt the angle though.

As Ray begins to "walk" with the help of furnitures, we have more worries to come....but we all know the famous saying "No Pain, No Gain" so i guess a few falls here and there will strengthen Ray and better prepare him for anything in future.

Playgroup AGAIN!!

They said...three is a crowd....i said three is a handful!! Today, Ray invited 2 of his friends over for some chill out time. They are Narisa and Devon!!


Its really hard to get a decent pic of them, one moment one is down on the mattress (Narisa so nice trying to help devon up)








And Ray trying to push Devon back to the ground again!!




The 3 mothers soon grew tired cos we took at least 50 shots each and there is always something imperfect abt the pictures....sigh..maybe imperfection is the new PERFECT!!

First MRT ride as a family

Finally...after a long long wait, the mrt just 3 mins away from our house has opened. So the 3 of us decided to take the train to the nearby shopping mall for our breakfast today.

With this new mrt, i can now shorten my walk to the mrt by 8 mins!! Thats alot of time saved!! And that means i get 16 more mins a day to spend with Ray!! WOW!!


Ray is no stranger to mrt.....cos he has been on it several times but each time is like a brand new experience to him as he stare at everything in awe.
