A History of Babies

Baby (now Uncle) Adrian and Baby Me

My future looks

Yeh Yeh and Mah Mah just dug up some photos of Uncle Adrian when he was a baby. When he was a baby, he looked quite like what I look like now. And, looking at these pictures, although he was a baby more than two decades ago, he still looks quite the same actually.

So perhaps just by looking at me, one may catch a glimpse of what the 21 year old me would look like?

What I've been up to this weekend

Hello! Some have been wondering why my posts have been somewhat infrequent, but it's because being a little baby (3 months at 1107am on Tuesday), I've been busy! New things to learn and all that. I guess I'll have more time in my teens (if blogs still are the rage then).

Daddy says people usually say that ("I'll have more time later") about getting involved in church as well. I'll have more time after exams, studies, climbing the ladder, blah blah. And before you know it, you have an excuse that can be used for the next couple of decades or so (for church and everything else): kids!

This weekend has been fairly quiet. Played around the house yesterday. My Grand Ah Yee's sheepskin makes a comfortable surface on my playmat, so I quite like it unless it has remnants of my puke. Speaking of which, I've been quite bothered by reflux, so yesterday tried Gaviscon, which is nice and high in sodium.

Today, we had Auntie Migdelia, who is from Acapulco and teaching me Spanish, over for lunch. We had some bread that my maternal Grand Ah Yee brought from Germany and an assortment of different meats. Daddy cooked and mowed the grass at the same time, so I'm not exactly sure about the food's cleanliness.

Grand Ah Yee's sheepskin

My (paternal) Grand Ah Yee had given me a sheepskin rug when she came by to visit from Wollongong, Australia, about a month ago. Yesterday, I played on it for the first time while Mummy and Daddy were having dinner (penne, instant some pasta sauce with anchovies, and salmon in Gimsom nyonya sauce).

Also, here I am with some "friends".

Grand Ah Yee's visit

Two weekends ago, my (maternal) Grand Ah Yee and her family came by from Dusseldorf to visit. Uncle Ben had graduated from UCL on Friday, and they came by afterwards to see me! And also to watch England versus ummm... Andorra. Well, for the experience of Old Trafford and to watch Peter Crouch, I suppose. But based on what my Grand Ah Yee had clothed me in, though she's a Malaysian living in Germany watching an England game, she's probably a closet Brazilian fan.

Heaton Park

Last Monday, which was Labour Day in the US (thus Daddy opted to take the day off), we went for an evening stroll at Heaton Park.

Happy (be-early) Birthday Kong Kong

Once again, I learnt the meaning of "goodbye", bidding adieu to Poe Poe and Kong Kong who left for Subang Jaya on Tuesday.

The evening prior, some of us gathered to eat, chat, and celebrate Kong Kong's birthday. Auntie Mars and Uncle Andrew cooked a lot of dishes: fish, taugeh, and delicious prawns. Daddy, on the other hand, bought some food from the Szechuan restaurant Red Chili's in case Kong Kong is nostalgic for some Xiamen/Amoy fare: cucumber in vinegar, pork and chili, beef in chili soup, aubergine with... urm, some chili. Auntie Megumi dropped by on her way back from work to say bye to my grandparents.

I've settled into a bit of a routine now. I sleep rather earlier, hence my absence from any of these photos. I was asleep during the party (and actually throughout the time in the airport the next morning too).
