Day 14: Singapore Moms Bloggers

A late post. The pretty mummies that I met on my first SMB gathering.

Day 13: Laugh

Beware. Her laughters are very contagious.

And I simply love it when Isa tries to make Mei mei laugh.

Day 12: Joy

Joy is about knowing we have a rooftop over our heads for our love ones. Not forgetting to be thankful to God.

construction of my new place. ready only in Dec 2014. :)

Day 11: Family

Taken on 19 January 2013

on the wedding night of Andy and Nicholl.

My family from my paternal side.

Anyone of you has a similar family size like mine?

Day 10: Milestones..

They are part of my lifetime milestones.

Day 9: 1st Birthdays

This post actually gave me to a chance to write more about this traditional ritual for my children's first birthdays. Commonly known as "Dua Zhe" (Hokkien - loosely translated as "big seating" in their first birthday)

Does anyone still practise this "Dua Zhe" ritual in your family?

Here are some simple translations on the items of Dua Zhe:

• Food: means the child will always have food to eat but old folks chose to believe that the child is a glutton
• Abacus or Calculator: Child will have a penchant for statistics or financing
• Stationery: the child will be industrious and endowed with great literary talents

In my family, we usually chose some items under the different categories. There are no hard and fast rules. In case if you want to know more about this  practice.

Oh ya, if you saw, both my kids chose the pen. Did someone say industrious and great literary talents?

*look at sky and wonder*

Anyway here are the photographs.

Jan 2008 - When Isa was 1 year old.

There were a few posts on his birthday then.

Jan 2013 - When Dora was 1 year old.

The videos that showed it all.

Day 8: Birth

3 is the number of births I had: 2 babies and an angel.

Day 7: Hope

Psalm 42:5

Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Day 6: Ultrasound..

Then.

Now.

Day 5: Home..

Though I had already bade farewell to our first #home, it held many memories for us.

Goodbye.

Just for this post. Here is a sneak preview of our new place.

ready by 2014 December. How exciting.

Hello!

Day 4: Love..

L.O.V.E.  the pillars of support of my life.

My folks and my kids.

Thank you God for taking care of them.

Day 3: Wedding..

the date was 06-05-04

How fast time flies.

It seemed to be just a while ago that we exchanged our vows. Then came the flat then the customary wedding. 9yrs down the road, we are more than contented that we have a rooftop over our head and of course not forgetting our 2 lovely kids.

What more can I ask for? 

Ok maybe one more kid? 

LOL.. who am I kidding right?

God has all the answers for us.

Have a great day.

Day 2: Love of my life..

As titled. All captured in one picture.

Super love them.

Day 1: Me..

I am so proud of a being a member of the Singapore Mom Bloggers group.

And we just turned 1! *throw confetti!*

So here I am again, joining them on this little photo challenge that we had set for ourselves.

Today is day 1 so it is about Me.

I have more than me to talk about, if you had read about my post on Diet. Rather I think I should call it clean eating. So this is a recent picture of me. Some 4 mths after I started my diet, -7.5kg (totally lose my #2 post birth weight *yeah!*) and still maintaining it.

Day 30: Self portrait..
