~babies galore~

Sunday, January 03, 2010 |10:41 PM

Over the past long weekend, both my maternal and paternal side have a gathering of the babies + adults. I couldn't be there for my maternal side so I specifically instructed my brother and his gf to take more pictures of the family gatherings for me. I really love family gatherings. For those who know, I come from a close knitted family (both maternal and paternal) and I enjoy good relations with them. For my mum's side, our family gatherings are usually very noisy. Our family international/common language is cantonese. So even if you can't speak, you will be forced to learn to listen over time. My aunt will be "blasting" her volume in cantonese with my mum joining her. So we the kids (that's all my cousins of my age) thinks that they are like the speakers of the family and yes, that's my extended family. Over this weekend, we welcome a new member to our extended family (long overdue) and here it goes..we welcome baby alayna---> She's 4 months ago. Made and born in the states.

The above is my pretty cousin, Ms Marlene Wong. Finally there's someone darker than me.

I don't know what is my brother doing to alayna.

and what are the adults doing to her as well??

Alayna..face the camera!

the above are my future sis in law and my brother with Alayna. Since they look so excited over her, i always tell them..quick get ur licence this may and give me a nephew/niece to play with!

can't get enough alayna..

excersing with her. my brother's gf is a strong woman..machiam like lifting weights. gym-ing with a baby

a proud father

Well so sad i couldn't be there with my family. A time that I deeply treasured. But then again, I was given another opportunity. Today is my paternal side's turn! Yay! The prince charming, Junya turns One. His actual day is 7 Jan but it was celebrated today @ a event room in Dempsey. (For those who wonder how he looked like as a baby, I carry a photo of him in my wallet.) Paternal side gathering is usually quieter coz most of my cousins are younger than me. They are mostly teenagers in their poly days. But you know something, my brother and I really have the child element in us. We still can connect to the teenagers and you will see the child element here-->

My brother say this big mickey mouse helium ballon and since the "star" of the day ain't here yet, he entertained himself with mickey.

and it was my turn to self entertain..HI-5 to mickey! i entertained myself with mickey so much that i held mickey's hand and say "let's go for a walk!" and darn...the professional photographer took a picture of it!

It was cake cutting time for junya and the parents are preparing. Junya got a mickey mouse cake because he's born in the year of a rat.

my cousin have to put her hands on junya to stop him from moving

and he can't sit still!

my cousin holds him tightly to make him sit.

finally we managed to abduct him from the rest and grab a photo with him. ling's first. the trick to keep him so focus on the camera is to hold the mickey mouse

and its my turn!!! besides holding the mickey mouse u need some jelly beans.and he's fascinated by it.

my brother's turn..and junya wants his balloon desperately..

finally he wants to get down because we are playing with his balloon liao..*grabs* my brother's shirt.
