Baby Kyan

It's been 3 weeks now since i "welcomed" the newest addition to the family who arrived somewhat unexpectedly during Mummy's routine check-up at the clinic. From hearing his heartbeat there, to being whisked off home coz Mummy had to be warded that very afternoon to seeing him in person the very next day, I can only say these 3 weeks have been a flurry of activity for me. Not sure how I feel about him though - right now, he's only capable of drinking milk, (endlessly it seems...), crying (and making me uncomfortable when he goes on and on), and sleeping (not much in the night though). I don't like it when he cries at night and wakes me up, or when Mummy has to feed him and I want to play... but he's cute in his own tiny way..

His head is so much smaller than mine!

Sayang -ing baby Kyan

Are these two the same babies? Actually, they're of me and my baby brother. Make a guess who's who!

Two Candles, Two Cakes! Happy 2nd B'day Tristan!

Happy 2nd Birthday Tristan!

As usual, me being the big-shot one in the family, I got to celebrate my birthday twice this year - once on the actual day with Mummy and Daddy, and once over the weekend when more people are free to come and sing Happy Birthday to me! This time however, Mama and Grandpa John got to celebrate my birthday too via the webcam. Daddy bought a small cake with a Thomas the Train picture on top (which can't be seen here coz Daddy didn't take the cake...) and I got to blow 2 candles, much to Mummy's delight... She's been waiting for me to be able to blow out my own candles ever since my 1st birthday! Check out some of my photos below.

Getting ready to blow out the candles.. One more candle to go!

Trying to show two fingers

Me deep in thought and trying to count how many more pieces of delicious cake
left to eat before I've to wait one more year for my next birthday...

Happy Birthday Tristan (one more time

My birthday celebration, part two - this time with mama, Uncle Glen, Ku Jie and Uncle Colin. Kong Kong couldn't make it coz he was sick. Had lunch at Mui Lum, one of Daddy's favourite eating haunts. Of course the highlight of it all was the cake and candles! This time, the cameraman remembered to take a picture of the cake!

One for the camera. Whose smile is brighter?

Huh? I forgot to make a wish before cutting the cake??

Yum, the best part of the cake has got to be the cream : )

That concludes my 2nd birthday celebration! This is a special one for me because the next time my birthday comes around, I might not be the only star anymore!

Mummy didn't know it yet at that time, but this is one of the last few pictures of her pregnant state...Tune in for more on me and my brother, baby Kyan in the next post!

Cheeky photos

Cheeky photos

One of those times when me and Daddy are feeling bored and as a result, I get to show off my cheeky side (what's new?? This is almost a splitting image of Daddy!) Just got my hair cut by mama who's a bit fed up of having to keep me still hence, the length or lack of it.

Winking and "handstanding" - some of my latest "tricks"

Practising my pensive look. Actually, after all the facial gymnastics, am feeling a bit tired now. This is candid - not done for the camera.

Ku Jie's wedding



Getting ready for ku jie's big day! Mummy's trying her hardest to tuck in my shirt so that I look my best. Ku Jie's getting married to Uncle Colin today and I've got new clothes for the occasion!




Hi, would you like to play with me? I've been pushing this noisy car around the whole morning. Shall I show you how fun it can be?



Sleepy- head me! I had so much fun the whole morning I couldn't keep awake by the time lunch was served and slept through the entire cake-cutting, speeches and table-to-table photos on mama's shoulder..sorry ku jie and uncle colin! I promise to relieve those moments through Daddy's photos.


Ku Jie and me.




Mummy and me. ( taken only because Mummy wants to show off her new clothes as well! She's jealous because I've been getting all the attention from Daddy's camera.. so this one's for her! Heh Heh)

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year





More photos of me during Chinese New Year. Thanks Grandpa John!
You weren't too busy savouring the goodies unlike my Daddy! Heh heh.
I'm famished... How tiny do you want to cut up my food Daddy? I'm a big
boy already!






I look like I'm trying to escape from ku jie.




Playing hide-and-seek with MaMa at Tai Po's house. Now, where could you be?
Ahh...you found me! That wasn't too difficult. Maybe next time I should go hide somewhere else in the house!


















This isn't the year of the dog but somehow my CNY pictures this year only feature me with Daisy. Not a lot of pictures this year - Daddy was too busy munching on new year goodies to take photos. So just 3 photos to showcase my second CNY.




Lo Hei at Tai Por's house. Do I look ready to tuck in or what! Was wondering what all the fuss was over coloured strips of vegetables, and why everyone suddenly lifted their chopsticks so high but guess it must be tasty coz all the adults enjoyed it very much. Maybe next year I can participate with my very own chopsticks too.

Christmas Presents

Christmas Presents

Oops, it's going to be Chinese New Year in a few days time and mummy just realised that my Christmas photos are still unposted! Compared to last year, my presents didn't seem as many this time.. or perhaps I've grown bigger and so they seem relatively smaller..?? Anyway, I got a lot of lego and building sets this year, a sign that I'm no longer a baby, but a full grown toddler. Hmm, wonder if there's any food disguised in these fancy paper...



Heh, another lego set. Notice Mummy's miniature Christmas tree that she insisted Daddy take a picture of. It's real one that she had to water every two days. Since I'm too little to fully appreciate a big one, we'll wait till I'm older and can help decorate a full size tree before we get one.

New Toy

Springcleaning

Other parents buy their sons robots and Xbox games, mine got me a vacuum cleaner! Their grand plan to start me early on domestic chores since I make the most mess around the house. Heh. Actually, this came with mum's new toy - a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Check out the hot purple shade of our new toys : )






Doing my share of the housework.












It even comes with attachments, just like the real thing!



















Oops, did I miss a spot here?

Munster Munster

My "monster" pose

I saw some pictures of monster-like creatures in a toy catalogue and thought it'd be fun to imitate what they look like - at least, this is what I think they look like. Big eyes, bared teeth and clenched fists...These are the results of my efforts : )

Err.. this one looks constipated!

Do I look like Barney here? He's a kind of monster too right?

Ok.. this is my best impersonation so far. Ain't I a good-looking munster?

Swimming pool @ Godma's house

Dad amd Mum got me a new swimming suit so that I won't shiver so much in an outdoor pool and I got to try it out at Godma's house today. Finally, my experience turned out to be a much happier one. Not only did I overcome my fear of water over my head, I also managed to walk around the pool all by myself! And I taught my froggie friend a thing or two about drains too.

A Ritzy Affair

Our Ritz-Carlton Rendezvous

Dae and Ma decided to go for a pseudo-holiday, partly as a getaway and partly to "experiment" to see whether I can actually be persuaded to fall asleep on a bed other than my own. So here we are, all pretending to be tourists in our own backyard, at Ritz-Carlton for a 2 day, 1 night stay. Check out the ultra-luxurious bathtub!! I was soooooo excited to see water actually coming out of the tap, I kept running in and out of the bathroom shivering with delight. Now when are we going to install one like that at home?

Bedtime story

My usual Babar the Elephant book before I turn in for the night. So far I've been keeping to my bedtime routine, so hopefully I will fall asleep soon on the new bed!

Early Morning View

I slept well last night. Not sure if I can say the same for Dae and Ma though coz they had to share the bed with me and I
kept shifting around. Well, at least now they know their "experiment" succeeded! I wanted to look at tiny cars down below but everything was hazy coz of the early morning mist. It looks pretty romantic anyway. Now if only I can block out the sound of the snoring coming from behind!





Look, I've got my very own inflatable car! I'm doing a test-drive here on the bed before we go down to the swimming pool. Don't I look like a professional stunt-driver?

































Swimming
This was taken after my "accident" in the pool, which explains why I look so grouchy. Sigh, I never have happy photos taken at the swimming pool. Thanks to my innately kaypo nature, I fell into the pool when I leant over the side of my car to look at the bottom. Luckily mummy pulled me out in time so that I didn't choke on the water. But I guess it was enough of a scare to make me refuse to sit inside the wobbly car anymore. Well, maybe the next time I'll have more luck at the pool! Till then, that's the end of our little rendezvous. Maybe the next time we go for a holiday, it'll be a real, over-the-sea one!
