26-11-2011 Party

Due to I was not on duty during the party, thus I was not holding the camera to take some shot for my son. Further more, Blogger pie member was not here for the party, I have no photographer with me. Very typical photos to share. I apologize for the poor arrangement.



But I am sincerely touch by all my friends who had attended the party. Most of the members of Gold Gold Gang were there. My colleagues, they came for the party. I was not expecting to have so much of them to be here as the party was conjunction with the wedding season. Almost 75% of them were here for my son. My ex-colleague from Mitutoyo were here as well. Ms Ai Lee and Ms Lim, they travel cross over the sea and come for the party. My old pal.... came all the way from KL just to attend the party, special thanks to Ying Jui and Siew Kay & Kimi. Ying Jui was my Ledang Team member, we been in the brotherhood happy family since 2001 during our Gunung Ledang adventure. 10 yrs anniversary! He came all the way, jam all the way just for the party, and he left for KL on the next day. Thank you, thank you and kam siah.

Visitors from US

Fly all the way from US to Penang, that is my brother and his family, just to attend my son full moon party. Appreciate their effort come all the way to Penang. Jovan, my brother's son is turning 2 years old this December. The early family gathering is like Chinese New Year day when everyone wakes up early to meet each other, wish each other and Dad always the one playing with the baby/ grandson. Here is some of the family morning gathering photos. Look at my daddy, he is so lovely and cute when he join the baby Jovan and Chong Hee. The house become warmer when there are babies at home. To all the couples out there, you can always warm up your house with baby.... especially baby's lover parent.










Chong Hee first time with Jovan.... they are lovely


My wife was doing the changing for Chong Hee before going out for breakfast.


Lovely grandparents and cuties


Gangster in town....

Tutti Frutti at QB

Chong Hee first time at Tutti Frutti. Picture capture by me. I hide the camera and the image of me behind the baby is mirror. Love this self portrait shot, taken by my Sony TX 10 compact camera.

Go all the way to Queensbay just to go for Tutti Frutti ice cream. It was my mother-in-law first time to step into the shop for yogurt ice-cream. Of cause Chong Hee was the first time to be there as well. He only can smell but eating the ice-cream. Its like a buffet style ice-cream take whatever food you like and mix it together. They have nuts, fruits, chips and the famous yogurt ice-cream for you to chose. At the end you would have to weight your paper cup on a weighting machine, it that is the price you need to pay.

While my wife is choosing the fruits and ice-cream, I was enjoy taking photos with my little one. I love this Sony TX 10, it is light in weight, handy and easy to carry. Bring back a lot of memories.


In-law first time in Tutti Frutti.

Lost 7kgs in 1.5 months!!!

It was a record breaking for me. When I spend my time for mountain climbing twice a week, swim once a week, I only manage to lost 1kg per month. After I got married, I started to gain from 68kgs to 78kgs in 2 years. I just lost 7kgs in 1.5 months. Wow!!!! Chong Hee, you are my hero. haha


The journey continue

After Chong Hee celebrated his full moon, my life has begin with my photography work, permanent job and father, husband responsibility. Before the birth of Chong Hee, my time was busy with my editing work on every weekdays and shooting either for portrait, fashion or wedding during the weekend. Now Chong Hee requires my attention anytime anywhere. Which means I have to keep an eye on him even though I am at work. Strange thing is, whenever I have my photography assignment on the next day, Chong Hee will not sleep and disturb the whole night. He makes me to have lesser rest time. I am still wondering why it happen at all time? It does not make sense either in scientific way nor Chinese tradition prohibited culture (Pantang Larang)

After busy photographing for few days, I can feel the significant grow of Chong Hee when I carried him. In terms of weight and size. He has increase his diet from 3 Oz to 4 Oz. Face has changed as well. He looks more cutie today, makes me feel like hugging him, carry him whenever I see him.








HEY!!! Where is my milk milk?

Day by day the baby grow, day by day we educate the baby, bit by bit he learns. Baby learn things very fast and out of our imagination. Today my baby is able to differentiate his soother, his milk bottle and mother's nipple. We bring him to chat with Grandpa and Grandma on the skype. The technology today, brings the family closer.



Other then this, we still bring along Chong Hee for shopping, taste the local delights, enjoy Penang Air Conditioning. Soon we will be traveling to certain states. Thus we have to begin with near distance, and allow him to adapt to the environment before we go for extreme traveling.




Mother in-law first time in Sakae Sushi Gurney.




Penang famous fried bee hoon with deep fried fish.


Milk feeding at Dragon-i


Can see how greedy my wife is... she finished all.

After the end of my wife confinement, she has to begin to bath for the baby and start picking up all the living skill of the baby. It is time for learning process for every mother at this time. This is her first time bath the baby. I am sure he is enjoying his private swimming pool.



Now I tell you why, I miss him so much, have a look you will know.

Neighbour Visit

Few days after the full moon ceremony, our neighbour visit us together with their babies (2 years old and 5 months old). They are one of our great neighbour who was offering help often. When they hear my baby is crying hard, they will call us and offer their help.

Here is the photo of the mommies and their cute little babies.




Hey boy... keep your teeth when you are on photo shoot.

Fullmoon!

Guess what, its fullmoon! Hurray!!!

Daddy wake up very early in the morning knocked Grandpa and Grandma's door to go to market to buy some raw material and had an early breakfast. When will I be going together with you for breakfast? Right now I only can smell my mother's breast and my milk bottle. Just can't wait to join you all for breakfast. Daddy and grandparents begun their preparation work for my full moon praying ceremony. Mom dress me up with my new clothes together with the necklaces that Grandparents gave and grandma in-law gave. Look, was it nice?

Ding dong ding dong, 12 noon sharp we were start praying to the late parents. Dad and mom carried me and help me to pray and followed by my grandparents. While Pek deh (Hainanese means uncle who is elder than my daddy) from United States was conference call with us on the skype. Thanks to the technology today that bring us so close and its free of charge. Soon, my grand aunties and uncles came to my house and join in the praying ceremony. My grand auntie came all the way from Australia just to wish us. Thank you to grand auntie Min. Grand auntie Lily with her family and grand auntie Khai Man came later.

After the praying ceremony, it was time to fill the food into the stomach, party time! Daddy specially request grandma in-law to cook "lor ark" (gravy duck) that suits everyone's taste. We have vege, chicken, soup, Chinese tradition red egg, ang ku kuih (a type of finger cake started by Nyonya in those days), "char siew and Siew bak" (sweet roasted port and crispy roasted pork). Great-grand uncle loves the duck feet and chicken backside. Grandpa has the similar taste with daddy, who loves the gravy duck so much. Enjoy seeing everyone is enjoying the meal.
