Our 17 Year-Old

 
Happy birthday to our big boy. 17 years old already! 

We can still remember being able to carry you in just one arm. And now, we cannot carry you at all *grin*

But we are as proud of you now as we were when we first held you in our arms. You have grown up well and we hope that you continue to grow into a fine young man. 

May you have all the best that the world has to offer. 

We love you loads. 💖

Birthday BBQ

We had the Yeoh's over for a BBQ/birthday celebration for Ko-ko.

As usual, there was steaks (a must!), chicken, prawns, squid, corn, baked potato and apple salad. 

Fire licking the steaks

Giant prawns

Carving the steaks while daddy cooked the rest

Most of our dinner spread

After dinner and fruits, it was time for cake. 

This little girl wanted to steal the limelight!

It was a nice gathering which everyone enjoyed.

Ku-ku is back. Birthday Celebration

Alan Ku-ku is back. He arrived on Friday, but we only went to BM on Sunday as Saturday is a busy day and traffic is really heavy crossing the bridge. As daddy did not play golf, we headed over to BM a little earlier and even got to eat Yam Rice, which we have not eaten for a long time.

As usual, you kids will get a present from Ku-ku. This is a nice LOL Surprise doll.. such a lucky pick, purple mei-mei's favourite colour. 

Ko-ko on the other hand received a pre-loved Sony ear phones which he was over the moon to receive. He even knows the selling price in Malaysia for that pair!

Ku-ku playing some game on the phone.

Ee-ee and Teo-teo arrived and as she said she did not really have lunch, we decided to have an early dinner. It was popiah which Ku-ku ended up cooking as Grampy was not feeling well enough to cook.

We had fruits then it was time for cake. It is actually Riley's birthday.

But the "birthday boys" also joined in. 

*We missed celebrating for Grampy as he fell sick on the weekend we planned to celebrate and then Ko-ko had his trials

Sweet Words

 Just as I leaned in to give you a goodnight kiss:

Evelyn: Goodnight mummy. Why is your hair still wet? You'll get sick if you sleep with wet hair, you know...

Mummy: I know.. it should dry before I fall asleep *heart melts*

Miss Vainpot

Took pictures of you drying your own hair. You used to just leave it wet and dripping. Your hair is not very dry, but better than being very wet. Glad to see that you are able to take care of yourself. 

Wee Wee Monster

Urgh.. got woken up from my sleep by a "mummy.. mummy.." "Huh? What? What?" "I peed on the bed"

Poor daddy got jolted awake as I had exclaimed "Again??"

As it wasn't too wet, I just put a small towel on the bed and told you to continue sleeping in your bed.

This is the second time within a month of this happening. Aiyo.. The earlier time was a big pee.. so I had to put a towel to dry it up and have you squeeze in between us on the bed. 

Funnier still was what you whispered to me the next day "Mummy, it felt so satisfying when I let go.. until I realised I was on my bed!" And we always dream of doing a pee when we really need to go! It also happens to me, of course I do not pee on my bed.

Daddy called you a "Wee wee monster" the next day which got you really angry.

Wedding Dinner in Ipoh

Today, we had to rush to Ipoh. Mei-mei could not miss any more ballet lessons, so we left after she got home from lessons and had a shower. So Ko-ko also got to attend his guitar lessons. 

It was a rather mad drive. At some parts of the highway, we had to come to a halt. 

But we made it on time (7pm) at Tong Hooi. Most of the guest had already arrived.

Here is what we had:

Appetizer (4 season.. although only 3 la)

Soup with many yummy ingredients

Suckling pig

Steamed fish

Roast Chicken

Prawns

Mixed Veggies with nuts

Glutinous rice

Dessert

Mei-mei had a good time walking around and also saying hi to her little cousins. Even with this:
