Family Portrait 2010

Our family portrait 2010! This year we had a special addition to the picture--Rae-Ann! She was in tears upon seeing the male photographer. This shot was not bad already. And it wasn't easy to coax 2 active kids to look at the camera and posed or smiled at the same time. Looking forward to the next year shot!

Baby/Toddler Dedication

Our cell group--PATs (parents and toddlers), had a mass baby and toddler dedication last Sunday. 5 families with 10 kids! We all have not been "dedicated" to God by Pastor so had decided to do it as a cell. So meaningful.
(From left) Isabelle, me, Elijah, Elizabeth and Matthew. We had our snack or break before service started.

Making funny face because mama said so. But I was the only one who patronized her. The rest of them, well, couldn't be bothered. kekeke...

My doting grams, Liang Yi Poh and Peng Yi Poh came to root Rae and me! So touched. I will be sure to remember this day.

Mui mui having her lunch. What an angry stare!

Nainai and her little grandgals!

On stage. I saw my cell friends and my pictures being screened and was thrilled.

"Mama, see Elijah!" Ya, whole time as distracted by it to pay attention to Pastor Matthew. :P

All on stage. Pastor giving some speech about this cell being "productive" and how the government will love us for it! We have 2 kids each, except for Aunty Grace, one. For now. :)

Family pic!

Sigh, papa didn't notice Rae had passy on. So didn't take it out! After that, mama kept grumbling about it. Rae is going to hate these pics when she's older, I think. ahahahaa...Hmm...mama said shall make her use these as part of her wedding montage!

And mama grumbled again upon seeing her hairband that made her hair in "high volume."

Pastor asked if my parents will promise to always bring us up in God's wisdom and love. To always rely on Him to nurture us and most of all, to surrender us to God because we belong to him. And they had to say, "I will." That was the 2nd time in their life they had to say, " I will."

See our pictures on projection?!

Papa looked so seriously solemn.

Prayer started but I was busy telling mama who didn't close their eyes to pray! Ya, everyone else but me!

I snitched on don't know which uncle or aunty who didn't close their eyes to pray. "Mama, uncle/aunty never close eyes."

Lunch after service at Great World City, Kenny Rogers.

Hmmm...mama think Rae looks like her when she doesn't smile--the killer look. But Papa will beg to differ, I'm sure.

Nice pic. Love her chubby cheeks!

Yeah! Mui is such a cute baby! She smiles spontaneously.

Architect @ Work & Night Out @ Swensen's

My new work--condominium. I love building with blocks. I can spend a long time at it, especially if someone plays with me. I pointed out to mama yeye, nainai and my parents' units! It comes with swimming pool and roof top playground too!

Funny muimui!Later as I built on, I told mama there were units for gong gong, poh poh, uncle Jack, gugu, kow fu and kow mo too. (So sweet) Mui Mui was busy "reading". A total opposite of me?

Time for a break from all the building.

Drama time! Making a sad face.

Angry!

Happy.

Scary! Woooo...

Silly.

Mui Mui with Dora. Nai Nai bought it for me in Israel. Yes, they have Dora in Israel!

Before my beauty nap.

ZZz.z..z.z.zz..z....lala land.

At Swensen's that night for ice cream!

Does Rae look like papa? My Yi Pohs call her "Xiao Rongjie." Rongjie is papa!

Papa bought me a toy. It was the kind you insert a coin into the machine and wind it up for a toy to drop. I was a little disappointed because I wanted a purple Hello Kitty. My favourite colour. Papa bought me this toy to cheer me up because I was being disciplined almost round the clock for misbehaving. Sigh, I'm still their little precious. Things parents do. :P
