Bei at 15.5 weeks

Brought forward our appointment with Dr Fong by a week, as Mama Flo noticed some signs of spotting. We decided not to take any risk and so we went to seek consultation with Dr Fong. Luckily he said its nothing serious, probably due to fatique and strain as we have been taking care of Sarah for the last four days.

We were hoping to be able to confirm Bei's gender, however as he wasn't moving much and his posture was not ideal, we could not see his genitals. We will just have to wait for the detailed scan scheduled four weeks later.

Sarah at 16 months

Sarah is gaining on the weights. However, she is in the 25 percentile in the height department, currently vertically challenged!

PS: the x-axis is the month.

Elmer & Anastasia's Wedding

This morning, we were invited to attend Elmer & Anastasia's wedding at the church of St Francis Xavier.


As we were early, Sarah decided to 'help out' Vernon & Eve at the entrance reception.

The beautiful interior of the church.
We decided to give her some milk before the commencement of the ceremony, in case she gets cranky or hungry during the ceremony. There she is, admiring the beautiful stained glass and the statues of the Saints while drinking milk.

The ceremony got on the way and the lovely bride was marching in with her father.
Little Sarah surprised us by being able to sit still and quietly throughout most of the ceremony. But she seemed more interested with the handbag of the lady sitting in front of us than the on-goings at the altar.

I have no idea what she is up to? Strike a pose ala Madonna in her vogue mtv?

Maybe she was reacting to the church music.
Still performing.....
Elmer & Anastasia exchanging vows.
Practicing walking down the aisle already.
Hiro, getting more handsome.
This is the canteen area where we proceeded to after the ceremony for the lunch reception.
Sarah dancing happily at the request of Uncle Thomas.
Finger licking good, she has been doing that for days, we think it's teething time again.

After chasing Hiro round and round the table, she was tired and fell asleep before the end of the event.

She turns 16 months today!

坐什么？

mama's pick

a short trip to junction 8 and she insisted on bringing her bowl out with her again.

later when we stopped by at mos burger for a breather, she was busy stuffing french fries into her mouth!

Monkeying around at home

Second day of her four days holiday at home, she is busy monkeying around in the living room, taking everything out and throwing them around.

Children's Day 2009

Children's Day, which means its holiday for Sarah as the school closes and its papa's birthday as well.

Today, mama flo gave the family a lunch treat at two chefs eating place, 双厨菜馆.

We finally got to taste the legendary butter ribs, it is as good as all the reviews said it would be. The butter flakes are crispy and melts in the mouth, the ribs are soft and tender yet not oily.
We had salad prawn as well, the serving was generous and the prawns were fresh. However, the batter wasn't crispy enough though.
Golden mushroom beancurd, another recommended dish, the gravy was good but apart from that, was nothing special.
Tri-colour spinach, a very unique dish, combination of three different eggs, normal egg, salted egg and century egg. It tastes wonderful.
We had so much good food, but Sarah's favourite was the curry puff that mama bought for breakfast!

Papa's birthday present this year is a speedlight for his DSLR! Thanks Mama!
