5 months old--My family portrait

When I was 5 months old, Papa and Mama brought me to Julia Wedding News for our family portrait. Papa and Mama took their wedding photos there, so every year, we get to go back there to take pictures for free!

Do I look so much like Mama here?!

My pretty maroon dress from Baby Gap was a gift from Grandaunt Bec and Uncle (maybe soon-to-be granduncle Vic) Vic. Cute right? I like it. The people in the shop said I looked like a little flower girl. Thanks Grandaunt Bec and Uncle Vic!

7 months old--I was hospitalised

I was hospitalised when I was about 7 months old. Papa just left for biz trip to Germany and Mama looked after me alone. She was shocked and worried when she realised I had a temp from 38.6 to 39.1.

So she sent me to A & E immediately. Doctor there said I needed to be hospitalised to monitor because my platelet count was very low. Any lower I'll have go for blood transfusion. They suspected dengue fever or worse, blood disorder.

Ye Ye, Nai Nai and Mama was with me. Mama cried when she saw nurses poked needles into me for blood tests and drip. You can see from the picture, it was really painful. I needed 2 nurses and a PD to do the job. The nurses said I was very strong; struggling hard. Of course man! Very painful!

Mama told me she wished it was her in pain, not me. They prayed for me everyday. And thank God, my platelet count went back to normal and I could go home. I didn't have dengue or blood disorder. Just an aggressive viral infection.

Papa came back just one day after touching down at Germany. He rushed back to see that I was ok and helped Mama looked after me too.Thank God his boss was understanding. Both Mama and Papa were super tired out. Mama who stayed with me in the hospital only slept for less than 3 hours every night.

But don't worry Papa, Mama. God is with me all the time. He will watch over me, even when I'm sleeping. He will strengthen me as days go by too!

7 months old--My first friend, Joanie

This is Joanie. My first friend. She's Uncle Darren and Aunty Agnes's daughter. One year my junior. So she's my Mei Mei! We still can't talk to each other yet. But we will, one day!

Strangely, Papa and Uncle Darren seems to have telepathy. Always wear the same colour schemes of clothes to church. Look at that! Don't they look compatible! Like a happy couple. Hehheheee...I think Mama and Aunty Agnes are jealous!

9 months old--My favourites (Bath time & Piggy rides)

I love bath time with my rubber duckie! See the one I'm holding in my hands! I like splashing it in the water and squeezing it hard. But Mama said can't post my bathing pictures here. Not nice for a girl. So can only show you this one!

I also like riding on Papa's shoulders! It's fun! I will scream and open my mouth wide in excitment. Sometimes, I pull Papa's hair like steering wheel! Hahahaha....Poor Papa, no more hair soon.

9 months old---My favourites (Watching TV and educational VCD)

I can get very engrossed when the TV is on. I like watching commercials or programmes with babies, children, animals or music in them. I can stop my play and just watch. Mama said I look like Papa when I watched TV. We can forget about the whole world! HAhahhaaa....See, Papa, something that I'm like you!

9 months old--My Favourites (Kiddy ride)

I love kiddy rides! Whenever I see one at malls, I'll point to it and make a sound so that Papa or Mama knows I want to ride in it. I still don't know that it's more fun when it's moving. But just by putting me on one of these rides, I'm thrilled already!

My recent ride was this truck with Bob the Builder! My new boyfriend! :)

Walk down memory lane--family6

The cute lady in the middle I was sitting on her lap is my Gu Gu. Papa's sister. She loves taking photos with me! Who can resist taking photos with a lovely girl like me, right?! By the way, we were at Legends celebrating Ye Ye's birthday when Mama forgot to pack my milk powder! So I was crying for milk. Forgetful Mama.

Walk down memory lane--family5

These are my Kow Fu and Kow Mo (Kow Fu always call her--Ka Moh (leg hair!). See my big smile! They made me so thrilled. Kow Mo talks alot to me, and the way she talks, sounds like Mama. Papa said it's because they both are early childhood trained. So I know most of the songs that Kow Mo sings to me too!

And my Kow Fu ah! Whenever I see him, he's always lying down sleeping. Poh Poh said it's because he likes to play on computer till wee mornings. So I like to disturb him when he's sleeping to play with me. He's a good drummer and soccer player. Clever with fixing computers too. Mama said when I grow older he can teach me drums and play soccer with me! As for computers, I'm already learning to bang on the keyboard whenever Papa puts me on his lap infront of his laptop. Hehheeee.....Probably, when it's spolit, Kow Fu can fix it!

Walk down memory lane--family4

This is my Poh Poh. See we wore almost the same type of top! Sexy leh!? I was very excited that day. I was at her house celebrating Gong Gong's birthday. My Poh Poh is so cool. She speaks to me in English and Cantonese. I can learn more languages now! Oh, by the way, I'm a pure Cantonese because both Papa and Mama are Cantonese. Tai Ga Ho! (Hi, everyone!)

And I also like to show off to Poh Poh that I can stand now!

Walk down memory lane-family3

When I was 8 months old, my Gong Gong had his 57th birthday. That was the first time I let him carried me. Before that, I would always cry badly at the sight of him as I was having stranger anxiety. Papa and Mama were feeling bad that I was afraid of him. I also don't know why. Just couldn't help it. Maybe it's his white hair! Or stern looking face. Now, we're pals! I like to snatch his glasses whenever he wears them! hahahaa...

Walk down memory lane---my family2

Here are my Ye Ye and Nai Nai. Nai Nai look after me in the day when Papa and Mama go to work. I love Nai Nai alot. Whenever she's around, I'll stick to her like glue (what's that huh?!)

She always prays with me, sing to me, talks to me lovingly. So you can guess, whenever I want something, who I go too?! Yes, Nai Nai! My rescuer and protector! (Don't tell my parents I said that. Hehehee..)

And Ye Ye dotes on me too! He buys me lotsa toys. The latest gift I got was a tricycle. I can't cycle yet, but got pushed around, better! And whenever I want to go Gai Gai (shopping), I'll look for him because he always brings me to play in the park, garden and shopping malls. Cool!

Walk down memory lane

Since Papa and Mama started this blog for me rather late, I would like to share with you some events that happened to me as an introduction. So, let's walk down my memory lane with me! Not a long journey yet, cos I'm only 10 months old now! So your legs will not be too tired from the walk, ya?! (How I wish I can really walk by myself now. You are fortunate.)

Firstly, let me introduce to you my family. Here's my handsome Papa and gorgeous Mama (they told me to say that). Who do you think I look like? Many people said I look like Mama. But Mama always says, "No, Lia's prettier!". And if I can talk, I will say, "Yes, of course!"

And Papa will be sad to hear no one says I look like him. Poor him. Sigh...not my problem. I can't choose who I look like. But I do behave a little like my Papa. Next time, I'll show you!
