Happy Chap Goh Meh!

Dearest Evan,

Today is the 15th and last day of Chinese New Year. So off we go back to Ipoh for dinner with the Bans. We initially planned to go home yesterday, but everyone had plans, so we left for Ipoh early this morning. You woke up at your usual 7.30am. So we left Penang around 8.30am.

The moment you reached Ipoh, there were so may hands waiting to carry you. The first person to greet you was your 5th Chek Kong. And you happily let him carry you. Soon you were busy crawling on the floor. It was so hot you were sweating.

Mummy forgot to pack your Bumbo today. Luckily the Ipoh house still had the old baby highchair that was used by your aunties and uncles. See? You enjoyed your lunch on the highchair. I think you like this chair. It doesn't have a strap to keep you in the seat!


After that, you went to have a mop, as you were all sweaty and off we went to Bercham with Ah Ma and 5th Chim Poh to pick up the 'popiah' skin for tonight's dinner. When we reached home, you went upstairs to enjoy the air-con with Ah Ma and went to sleep after a while. Mummy napped with you and after you woke up, we were off again.


Went to try out the new Wah Nam Kopitiam. But it was too hot for you. You were sweating bullets! Poor little guy. So went home after that as 5th Chim Poh needed to pray. Soon daddy, Ah Kong, 5th Chek Kong and Uncle Jack Hou were back from golf.

Since it was too hot, we decided to let you play until closer to dinner time before giving you a bath. In the end, this was what you wore while playing around and waiting for bath time:
After you had your dinner in the air-con comfort, it was daddy and mummy's turn to have dinner. Sorry, no picture of the popiah. Too excited. Nevermind, we'll take some pictures another time.

It's been a long long day for you today, all that crawling, falling and also climbing up the staircase. Yup, up a few steps (supervised of course). You fell asleep on the way home. And you are still asleep in your cot now as mummy is typing this blog.

Sweet dreams, sweetheart. *kiss*kiss*

By the way, we have invited the Ipoh Ban's for your birthday celebrations!
