大年初一 2014：迎马年～

Happy New Year!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!! We woke up bright and early ready to start our brand new horsey year, even little Joelle was excited and decided to wake up earlier than usual. After we changed into our new clothes, we are ready to start our house visiting!We went to my uncle’s place as our first stop. Perhaps Joelle was too tired from waking up early, that she fell asleep halfway through at my uncle’s place. And that was my mum carrying her, beside me, she love my mummy to carry her the most. Perhaps it was due to my mummy looked after her during the 1st 2 months when she was born, thus she has developed a strong bond with my mummy.


My pretty mummy with her grandchildren.

I gotten this horsey dress for Joelle which I feel that it is so appropriate since this year is a Horse year.
The 3 pretty girls.

The next place we visited was to my PIL place. Decided to add in a selfie here.. hahaha…this picture was quite nicely taken, at least I doesn’t look so fat in this picture. 
Followed by visiting to my hub’s grandmother place, and all of us looking rather shag from all the visiting. But, we would be hopping over to my brother’s place for a dinner after this.

So that’s how we spent our 1st day of Lunar New Year. It was mad tired, especially for a young baby, luckily she did not fuss and behave pretty well throughout the day. ^^

Our Lunar New Year Eve Celebration ~ Eat. Eat. Eat…..

Year of the snake is coming to an end soon and in a few more hours we would be welcoming the horsey year. The year of the snake is a memorable one for me as we welcome a mini snake into our family which means there are 2 snake in our family now, a mama snake and a mini snake! ^^

The way we spend our Lunar New Year Eve is eat. eat. eat and more eating!!!! Joelle was in an exceptionally good mood when she woke up in the morning, thus I managed to snap a lot of pictures of her wearing the huge headband (perhaps a bit too huge).

She is able to lift her head quite well now, but she doesn’t really enjoy doing it. She tends to fuss and wants me to carry after her “workout”.
That’s me and my little girl. I guess my dark eye circle is so bad, even the concealer wasn’t able to cover it.
Our first stop for today is to my brother’s place for a steamboat lunch with my mummy and brother’s family. My boys love going there as they can play with my nieces. When we reached there, the sumptuous steamboat was already ready for us! 
The kids were entertaining Joelle while we adults were busy wolfing  down the new year goodies while chit chatting.
And not forgetting to take a shot of the kids. Nice one, I love this shot!… Except that Jayden was looking elsewhere!
And my girl with my brother. Being the youngest in the family, all of us really dote on her, even my nephew who is only 2 years plus. ^^


Many says that Joelle has round fishball-like eyes. When she smile at me and looking at me with those eyes, it simply melt my heart. I can’t stop saying that I really love this girl so so so much!!!!!

What’s new year without these oranges~

I guess I am really obsessed with my girl, can’t stop sharing all the pictures of her in my blog, Dayre or even Instragram. 
My cute nieces made these wrist band for Joelle although she is still too young to wear it now.
Recently, she has started to love exploring her fingers and love stuffing them inside her mouth. Sometimes she tend to push her fingers too deep inside her mouth and cause herself to vomit. *my silly little girl*. ^^

After the first round of steamboat lunch, we proceeded to my Uncle’s house for a buffet brunch. It was nice meeting up with the relatives which I seldom met up over the past one year.
And the last stop for today is non other than to my PIL place for a steamboat dinner.
My nephew Bermes.
After the dinner, we have a lou hei which the kids enjoyed so much. That’s is the only time where they are allowed to play with the food. 
HUAT AH!!!!
After all the digging, throwing of the food!!!! ^^

It was almost close to 10pm when we reached home and little girl was fussing away due to not able to rest well from the hopping from places to places. I guess its time to have a good rest to charge ourselves up for more visiting for tomorrow.

My little chubby puff is already 3 months old!

Time flies, Joelle is already 3 months old. Days is filled with busy-ness looking after my 3 kids. Sometimes household chores do need to take a back seat when little girl is extreme fussy and required me carry a lot or if the kids need me to assist them in their homework. I guess a untidy house is better than a house with 3 screaming kids. Haha…

Sometime, I really cannot believe how I managed by through these years, I am not a super mummy with extra good temper, in fact my temper is real bad. I can be really fierce when the boys trigger my limit.  I guess they do fear me when I turn into a ‘roaring tiger’. ^^ Friends tend to be deceived by my ‘gentle look’ which is so so deceiving. Many of my mummies friends comment that I am really good having to look after 3 kids by myself without any helper, and still need to cook and do housework chores. But sometimes, I do have my frustration when 2 kids wants my attention at the same time… how I wished I can split into 2.

At times when I am really tired, I would just skip the housework altogether, I have a understanding hubby who did not mind and doesn’t require me to keep the house spanking clean all the time, he is ok when he see the clothes flying around or the floor being a bit “not so clean”. Sometimes if I am not able to cook dinner, he is ok to ‘da pao’ dinner or dine out. Of course, it is clearly he is tired after coming back from work, but he did not compliant one bit. When I am feeling down and emotional, he will let me be and try to drag the kids away from me to let me cool down. When I need to tend to Joelle, he will help me to coach the 2 boys or play with them, and I can see that Javier has become so much closer to him recently. I guess having the support of such a good hubby, it truly makes all these easier.

Frankly, I do feel that when one is put into any situation, either way you would be able to cope with it when you believe you can do it. And I am glad that Joelle is a fairly easy to look after girl…only that she wants me to carry her alot, even when she naps. She is a happy girl who like to talk and smile a lot. Anyone who talk to her, she is so willingly to give them her sweetest smile and coo-ing back. ^^  It just filled my days with so much joy playing with her every day.

I wasn’t able to update so frequently now, all these updating was done in the wee hours when I could not get back to sleep after tending to little girl. Thus I would like to photo flood with my little girl pictures in this post. ^^

Hope you would have a great day after seeing the cheeky and happy pictures of my little girl.
