CNY'09!!

This year CNY is especially special with the addition of Xiang Xiang into our family and also in our new place at Buangkok. We have spent lots of time decorating the place and preparation of XiangXiang for his first CNY :P

Very glad that he has enjoyed himself thoroughly during the CNY week, from 25Jan to 1Feb'09. Xiang Xiang also went back to Indo for the first time after he is borned. He liked the place very much, though he does not ppl to carry him, he enjoyed playing with a kong, a ma and all other relatives that come to my place. And oh boy, he got lots of ang pow during the second day when we visit relatives at Indo. He will grab when ang pow is offered and next will be into his mouth. hehe.. We all enjoyed a lot there.. though he has a few gifts back in the form of mosquito bite :P

My First X'mas..

It has been a while since this blog is updated, was to busy during this festive season, with X'mas and CNY so near each other.

A little update for our little XiangXiang's life... Sad to say that in Dec'08, XiangXiang was not well after our trio from Japan. He has persistent cough and pleghm that refused to go away. On top of that, he has fits a few times due to the choking pleghm. So much worries that he has to be hospitalised for observation for a day on 23Dec. Fortunately he was discharged on X'mas eve in time to celebrate his first X'Mas at home. We have tremendous support from friends and family which we're so glad off..
