Gary Phang & Alicia Lee

This year’s Chinese New Year and Valentine Day falls on the same date 14 February 2010.

Again, having very rush birthday celebration for Emelee at home after visiting relatives.

My mom accepted an offer to work as confinement lady in Doncaster, Victoria, Australia (somewhere near Melbourne). She left for Melbourne on 3 Feb at 1:20am on AirAsia flight via LCCT KLIA. My only concern for her was her health. Since it is summer now in Australia, that reduce the worry and anxiety, furthermore I am confident our Almighty God is with her and cares for her.

So this year’s Chinese New Year is going to be another quiet affair since my mom is away and my brother won’t be coming back from Singapore. Leaving our family and my dad. We will be celebrating CNY reunion in KL. Haven’t think of what to eat since just three of us and the little ones. Cook at home may not be practical cost and volume wise. Dad said Western food is ok woh! Got to check around. Heard most of the Chinese restaurant were fully booked till 7th day of CNY. People nowadays opted to eat out due to convenient and you may be surprise it may be cheaper (depends what food menu you choose). 

My uncle and aunty on the far-right help to send my mom to airport from Seremban. Emelee former nanny’s daughter (in orange T-shirt) followed us to take care Emelee. There was a long queue during check-in but they open many counters to expedite check-in process. Seems to be many students are beginning to return to Australia for studies. My mom will be back to KL on 13 March (30 days working plus 10 days holiday!)

Brother and sister or sister and brother (we usually said the earlier). Both Emelee and Weslee were adapting well in the childhood development. Emelee started to attend Sunday school since three weeks (31 Jan) ago at our local church. The first week she was not reluctant to be left alone with other children. But last week, she needs a few words of assurance that I will pick her up after the church service was over. She obediently listen and off she goes and sat with another kids mom. Somehow she likes her. I have also advised the teacher not to give her sweets. Apparently she throws out after eating the lollipop few weeks back. Our challenge these days was getting her to finish her meal faster. She took almost an hour to finish off her meal and we have to persuade, scold and what-not. But when comes to snacks like fruits, ice cream, biscuits, raisin and etc, she finished off faster! The other challenge was her sleeping alone. We some how relented and accepted the fact that she have to sleep with us, at least the last few hours before dawn.

Yes, he can walk we exclaimed. We were overjoyed when we saw him walking a few steps unassisted. Quite stable although it was a few steps before he tumbles down. And he must be really happy to see our reaction. Alicia asked me to record down least we forget!

Nowadays he like to climb over the sofa and sometimes on top of the TV rack. There goes my audio/video speakers & wiring! ~sigh~.

In public or at shopping mall, he likes to make eye contact with strangers. Most people will give a glimpse at him and he always generously smile back! Isn’t he is adorable! Praise God for blessing us with another cheerful and adorable children.

Celebrated Weslee’s 1st birthday on the actual date (13 Jan) with Emelee’s former nanny and family. Bought another jelly cake for him. He really enjoyed himself. Here are some of the photograph. 

Yesterday was Weslee’s 1st birthday! We have thrown a big party for him last Sunday. Most of our friends from church and in KL were invited. We have sumptuous and variety of food. Most of the pictures were taken by church friend and uploaded into Facebook. Hope can sort out more and upload here. He really had a good time although he has not been feeling well for the past few days. Thank God he behave that day!

Yesterday we also had another round of birthday celebration for him albeit smaller one with former Emelee’s babysitter (more pictures again later).

Weslee, we pray that our good Lord Jesus Christ will continue to protect you and watch over you. May He gives you good health shower you with his blessing and guidance.
