Hello 2012

It might be a little too late but still Happy New Year to everyone! Last year, 2011 did not treat me very well so I'm wishing that this 2012 will treat me much better than the last. 

The new year started with my daughter Elizabeth being sick. I'm suspecting she caught the virus from me because I too fell sick during Christmas. Then I passed on the virus to my nephew and I'm guessing he passed it on to poor Elizabeth. We were all vomiting and having diarrhoea. She being so young had it worst. She vomited for 2 days and had diarrhoea at the wee hours in the morning today. She's became so thin but is doing better now. Hmm..makes me wonder how come I didn't became thinner despite all the vomiting and diarrhoea. LOL. :P Anyway, I hope this bad start to the new year doesn't mean anything and I'm still praying that it will be a good year for us. I hope she will be fit and fine to go to school tomorrow. It will be her first day of school since she missed a few days already. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed .

Since I've been weak during the Christmas time, we didn't really celebrate in a big way this year. My mum is still not up for it. So it was quite a quiet Christmas and New Year this year. We went to church on Christmas day even though I was not well and still managed to go out for our Christmas dinner. As for New Year, the kids were already asleep during the eve. So hubby and I just watched some fireworks from our balcony and then he resumed back to do his work on the laptop while I watched a midnight movie on the telly. Maybe next year we should bring the kids somewhere for the countdown huh? 

How did you celebrate your Christmas and New Year?

The Angry Birds and Doraemon cupcakes I got for my nephew's birthday. He loves anything to do with Angry Birds and Doraemon.

Joseph and his cute peace sign. Hehe.

Christmas is in the air and on Elizabeth's nails! Cute isn't it?

Time to open all the presents on Christmas day!

Already so excited to tear down that present and yet I make him strike a pose for me..hehe.

What Happened To The Turkey?

Happy New Year 2011! Year 2010 has come and gone in a blink of an eye. Now we're welcoming another new year and I hope this year will be a good one for me and my family. We haven't been celebrating or doing the countdown thingy ever since goodness knows when. My hubby doesn't like crowds and also because we skipped all these after we have our first child. This year was also no different from the last. The children were already asleep by then. Hubby and me would just kiss and wish each other at the balcony and watch the fireworks display until it ends. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to share because yours truly left her camera at the office. So I'm left with my camera phone which I don't really like to use because it's more cumbersome.

I actually wanted to blog about the day after Christmas. My family were still around and were only planning to go back Malacca late afternoon. So we brought them all to the Bukit Jalil Park after breakfast. Weather was quite nice and not too hot. Our walk in the park wouldn't be complete if we didn't feed the fishes. So that was what exactly we did. We also went to the children's playground. The park has quite a huge children playground.

This was actually taken earlier on one of the weekends. Just thought I might share with you the pics.

This lil' dahling learning to feed the fishes.

Success! Can you see some of the hungry fishes? They were pretty aggressive as if they haven't eaten for 1000 years.

My family at the park. We fed fish food and also leftover expired bread.

The kids enjoyed feeding the fishes.

My lil' dahling often ended up dropping the fish food on the ground. Poor aggressive fishes looked disappointed.

Getting a go at the playground.

Looking so proud.

My nephew, Brandon always ensuring Elizabeth's safety.

Roaring like a lion.

This exact scene and venue reminded me of Elizabeth 3 years ago. The photo above was taken 3 years ago when Elizabeth was 14 months old.

Now she's this big already. Time really flies.

Look at this little monkey.

So excited to crawl through the tunnel.

And again wanting to climb up the slide the wrong way!

You might wonder why is the title of this blog post like that. I was actually going to tell what happened to the leftover turkey. We gave away nearly half of the turkey to my babysitter and the rest my dad cut it into small pieces and then fried rice together with it. It was really tasty. My dad's a great cook. Then the time came for them to pack up and go home. While they were all set and ready to leave, someone was keeping himself busy and didn't really mind them leaving to my surprise. Hehe.

This is the tasty fried rice with turkey meat, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes and onions.

This is the busy someone who thinks it's tea time. You can see my mom at the background leaving. LOL.

Now he thinks it's time to cook.

Huh? Did you just say you want some tea?

That evening, we had a wedding dinner to attend and we only took Elizabeth along. My babysitter was so kind to volunteer before hand to take care of Joseph even though we insist that she rest. So here are some pics and blessed new year once again!

Having some cocktail before the dinner starts. Hubby teaching lil' dahling how to "cheers".

Elizabeth getting hyper already.
