Just the 3 of us...

Just a short update....

Paul left for Bonnyville, Canada to work on 10 Jun. He'll only be back on 24 Jun (which is our wedding anniversary... 8years... wow... time flies)

My mother in law left for Singapore on Wed, and has arrived safely back home on Friday afternoon (SG time).

Now, it's left with me, my mom and Valerie at home. In fact, today is 2nd day "home alone"... hehehehehee... As my mother in law was taking care of our daily meals in the last 3 mths... will have to learn how to handle things at home with 2 person now. My mom and I will have to take turns to have a shower or take meals (unless Valerie is asleep). Later on, it'll be just me alone taking care of Valerie...only less than 3 mths away before my mom leaves too...

We have lots of activities planned ahead, will be having Felicia over for dinner tonight and Ailing & Chen Fong (with 2 kids in tow) will be coming over for lunch tomorrow. Going to dinner with Pa & Ma tomorrow night and then will be attending Koen's first month party (son of Jess & Vincent) on Sun. Later on, will be going to Evelyn's house for dinner on Sun... so as you can see.... our schedule is jammed pack this weekend. Will try to remember to take pictures during all these outing... so that you can also share our activities with us.

Most of the time, I think we'll be watching Cantonese serials.... downloaded a few titles when I was still pregnant, but didn't get to watch them... and my aunt from NZ sent me at least another dozen titles. So it's either Valerie time or movie time... hahahahahahaha....

That's about it.... nothing interesting happening so far... till my next adventure happens... Ciao
















Here's Valerie's latest picture, taken on 14 Jun. It's very hard to capture her smiling... cos everything she see's the camera... she kinda stares at it intensely. And sometimes when she does smile, the digital camera is not fast enough to capture her beautiful smile. Therefore, savour this cheeky grin while you can.

The next picture was taken on the changing table. She loves to bring her legs up high... and then hits the pad with so much force that I worry she might get bruises on her heels. But my Valerie is a strong girl... and with the "meat" surrounding her, I bet it helps take away some of the trauma!! Hahahahaahahaa....

Valerie is 3 mth old


Took this pic in McDonalds, Flagstaff ...a stopover to feed Valerie on our way to Grand Canyon. She's so alert isn't she? It was 8am arh.... Mummy was still half asleep.




























This is Valerie's daily exercise. Tummy time... to help train her arm and chest muscles, so that she can lift her head and chest up higher and longer.
Here's the latest hairstyle. The Onion Head..... Hahhahaa... a nickname given by her paternal grandma. "Yeung Choong Tou" (in cantonese it means Onion head)

Talking about nicknames.... Valerie has acquired many. To her mummy, she's Stinky Pinky. To her daddy, she's of course the lovely Princess.

And recently the grandmas have started calling her "Xiao Ge Ge" (in Mandarin it means Little Princess)

Phoenix Suns didn't make it to NBA finals

Sigh... all is lost... no more chance to see the Suns play or see them proceed to the NBA finals. They lost to the Dallas Mavericks 4 - 2 games, and the last game, the score was 102 - 93. Very disappointing but it has been a very exciting season. Hope that the Suns will get another chance next year.

My favourite player Raja Bell... what a unique name huh? I wonder if his parents know Raja means King in Malay. Isn't he cute with that lovely smile? Hee hee hee....
