we held 2 parties the day before CNY ended. The ladies and their handsome halfs joined us for yee sang and a catered meal from Golden Pillow 933. It was the 1st time seeing Mad since she got preggy and she was looking good with her 4 month preggy belly.
That same night, we had a feast with a home cooked meal by karen, ML and Li Mei. the buddha jumped over wall soup was the highlight..such a yummy soup! lin supplied the yee sang and we made nyonya prawns. Later, the girls played MJ while i hopped between serving them tea and watching cutie ryker sleeping peacefully on our bed. The guys watched a silly show by Nicholas Cage to pass time.
michiko fell really sick that very day too. she complained of kidney pains and thought she had lung cancer as she was coughing. such drama. I spent 3 hours with her at 2 clinics that saturday morning and turns out, she just had a normal cough. But the doctor advised that she go for an ultrasound for her kidney as he could not diagnose her sickness. happy to post that one ultrasound at SGH, 2 GP visits, $350 bucks later, michiko is all well and given a clean bill of health (suspected UTI which 2 courses of anti biotics took care of). A week after she recovered, we celebrated Michiko's 31st bday with a yummy choc cake from Lana Cake.
Michael Lim's daily visits. I think I got a preview of life with 2 kids..the constant screaming, the tantrums and meltdowns, the pushing, biting, grabbing, time-outs and of course, the occasional hugging and loving (esp at the end of the day - yes, that's how long it takes for the 2 kiddos to warm up to each other). On one hand, Michael is such a sweet boy..he listens, reads on his own, understands instructions to the core. On the other hand, that boy just won't eat. It takes us an hour to get him to finish half his meal..some days when we are tired, we cheat and just give in to his peanut butter sandwich request which he eats on his own and finishes :). Knowing how much Pat misses her little boy, we update her with emails 2-3 times a week and get michael to talk on the phone with her as often as we can.
One sunday night, we had an impromptu wine cheese gathering as jin was craving some cheese and me some yummy geruztraminer. WH,. IZ and HW gamely came over to help us satisfy our cravings.
besides the above, we have been busy planning for our upcoming short weekend breaks. Managed to get jin to agree to take me to Borobudor..woohoo. Mom's going to come babysit for this trip and end of May when we head to Ho Chi Minh, it will be in laws turn to babysit.yay!

Hi Cin, lovely posts. Looks like you all had a wonderful CNY. Oh yes I did announce our age to all and sundry, har har. Ah, you guys are still babies :)
Wow lovely, all these trips minus kid! Borobudur is wonderful and lots of great small eating places on Jalan Malioboro in Yogya. That place used to be one of our haunts when I lived there for 6 mths.
Have fun!
Oh forgot to add - having two kids really isn't all that bad. Really! Well, today is a good day so that's the story I'm sticking to!! :)
