3rd Anniversary

Sorry mummy's late sweetie. We were in HK, and after that it's been rather hectic, but we have not forgotten, just didn't log into this blog till now.

3 years...

Hope that you are now in a good place. You are, right?

Love you always. (Still using P as your sub)

3rd Birthday

Hey ethan sweetie,

Today would have been your 3rd b'day. How time flies.

Your jie jie decorated your wall with lotsa stickers today: there's a butterfly, quite a few mushrooms, a green & orange worm (my fav), a fish, beautiful blue coral, and a sleeping crescent with a nightcap. Managed to speak her out of giving you the lipstick sticker, phew.

Love you, sweet.

2nd Anniversary

2 years.

Love you, sweet.
See you later.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Sweet

Hey sweetie,

Happy b'day. Like the cake? Had to distract your sis from wanting back her balloon.

Love you.

Who left you the bumblebee-Pooh, Sweet?

Christmas is coming up... merry xmas Sweet.

1st Anniversary

Strange. When I think of the word "anniversary", I associate it with "happy anniversary" or "anniversary celebrations".

But not all anniversaries are happy; and there are some anniversaries that are not meant to be celebrated.

This is obviously in that category.

Sweet,
It's been a year, one full year. How are you?
Mummy loves you... Mummy misses you.

Daddy, mummy and jie jie visited you today, did you see us? Did you hear us? Did you feel our kisses? Did you "taste" the "porridge" that your sis "cooked" for you and fed you? She was so happy when she heard, in the car, that we are going to visit "di di".

Your jie jie Ashley is now a big girl. She loves babies; she would have loved having you around, she would have taken good care of you like a proper 'big sister', you should have seen how she lovingly cradles and rocks her uwah-uwah (doll) and sometimes Piglet. Though the next moment she would ruthlessly abandon her poor doll as she focuses on something else, but that's another story -- can't be helped lah, short attention span... You know that sister of yours...

You take good care of yourself ok? I know that's somewhat a tall order for a 5-and-a-half month wee baby... Mummy hopes someone is watching over you.

Love you. Remembering you. Everyday.

Family Portrait

I think we haven't had a family portrait taken for a long time. This came out very nicely (thanks for your camera Mindy). We are pretty well color-coordinated, I must say, without prior arrangement. It took Ashley some effort to maintain that victory sign; it usually becomes a hand sign of "3" rather than "2" for "V".


Three Generations


And this one is of the girls...

For the record, these were taken at Rachel's wedding on 10 May 2008.
