Better be envied than pitied

Today, AJ and I went out to city centre for a walk as planned. Alice went to her cousin's yesterday night and promised to reunite us today. So, I ringed her around 12-ish but went to voice mail, as predicted.

Nevermind, we continued shopping around Drake Circus. Then I noticed that everyone who walks by AJ were all smiling. I pondered why then turned my attention to AJ. Haha...no wonder. AJ was sitting up straight with both of his placed firmly on the pushchair tray. *serious face* Looking right and left. He'll be bumping up and down whenever his buggy run through a bumpy surface. Boss! How cute...I forgot to take photo of him.

2-ish. My stomach was drumming so stopped at a bakery shop nearby to get a sausage roll. Sat on a bench. AJ looked at me. I looked at him. We looked at the pigeons. AJ looked at me. I looked at him. We looked at the pigeons. Again.... T___T

Saved by the ring! A call from Mary. She's at Drake Circus with the kids. Rushed quickly back to Drake Circus to meet her. Haha...what else we gonna do when with Mary? Gossiping...Listen her lecturing about happiness. AJ cried whenever Mary, Ron or Alice carrying him. >.< But smiled back again when they joked in front of him with me carrying him.

4-ish. Called Alice again to ask if she wants to meet to walk back together. Again, voice mail. =.= In the end, we walked back in the drizzle rain.

I pitied myself having bailed out by Alice. ^___^ Alice, I am not angry with you. Honest. But I will remember being aeroplaned for so long for the 1st time in my life.

On the other hand, I know everyone is envy with what I've been through. Yes, every moments that I shares with AJ. Well, as long as AJ is with me, I won't feel alone. Will cherish this forever.

080808 - Beijing Olympics 2008

Haha...I sounded very patrotic eventhough I'm not from China. Yes, an interesting world event it is and everyone is looking forward to this day as well. ^_^ I'm not an athletic person, ok. But I enjoy this moment. Reason being each athletic has only one aim. One and only one - GOLD to make his/her country proud. Yes, this is where I find peace - no war, no politics, no credit crunch, nothing else - just PEACE!

Won't know the official song of the Beijing Olympic until the day but this one is my favorite.

"Beijing welcomes you" full MV

I'm currently at the other side of the world. =.= But I won't miss the opening ceremony too. We all will be watching live at the city centre where a enormous tv was setup purposely for this event few weeks ago. Will post some photos so stay tune!

See you all there!

O-Ren-Ge anyone?

It has been raining all day today, well since Monday. Imagine that Alice, AJ and me were stucked in our flat since! No jokes! Also, we have to dry our washed clothes at the self-service laundrette shop every alternate days. =.=

Mr. Sun...oh...Mr Sun, where are you? Our clothes need to visit you and we miss you a lot.

Fortunately, we have Internet and AJ. Haha...today, AJ laughed histerically when his gu-gu repeated a word. Found out here!

Drop a comment of what you think... =P

Other than that, you have to take care the well-being of the rest of the family. Even so, there are times where you will enjoy his company and when you do, you'll know your efforts is priceless & worthwhile.

Tips on how to have your utmost unforgetable days.

Build up your energy 1st. Have a bowl of baby rice. Yum Yum...

Presenting our new flat

EVERYONE! As promised, let me present to you all our new flat. I know, you must be very excited. ^__^

1st of all, let me show you how close we are from almost everywhere.
Perfect location! [click the image for larger view]
The living room. Borrowed the TV from a friend.
Looking forward to own one soon. Watch this space!
AJ's play area. Spacious...spacious..
Kids, nowadays... =.=
Master bedroom
With baby cradle oso =P AJ loves it!
The look from our bedroom, courtyard - summer BBQ coming up!
Kitchen - waseh..can cook comfortably now
Bathroom - again, spacious compared to our previous shower room

We have another bedroom at the back, currently being used as store room. Such a waste...haha..The bedroom was intended for Alice but she prefered the living room using our futon sofa. Probably due to the room's structure... never mind, at least now we got spare for our guests.

Special thanks dedicated to Ken, Rudolf, Val & Davy for helping us moving. Not to forget also, Mary for her lovely meals for home welcoming party.

Fuh...What a week!

Val: this post is a must read!

Yes! I have returned to my normal-self. Not that I'm down or sick. Just tired. Endless tired days. As you know, was busy moving during last weekends. Gosh...I really don't understand why this move has actually taken nearly 3 days to complete.

Why? I had to stop packing/unpacking every few hours for AJ. Baby at this age tends to favor mom ^_^ *yiseh...true what* and will cry to his utmost volumes continuously until he gets what he wants. Baby is the most powerful species in the world. Even greater than the King of all histories.

We had to cancel our trip to north England because of this. Everyone (except AJ) got sick. Fortunately, the room booked at Manchester was at discounted rate. But we still continue moving no matter what. *Blessed* Eventually, everyone has got better & enjoying every moments in our new flat. Goal accomplished!!!

I know Alice would be quite disappointed having to cancel the trip. So, we went to nearer cities with Rudolf & Val - Bath (again for Alice), Southampton & Portsmouth. 3 words to describe this cities respectively - marvellous, bad & ok. Love Bath especially. Here's why.

Roman Bath museum Can you find the similarity?
Perfect garden on the perfect day
Portsmouth - entertained by Rudolf (nb Rudolf is no no enemy to AJ)
The famous Spinaker tower in Portsmouth

P.s. I got thinner a bit - claimed by Alice & agreed by Jimmy. muahaha...

Haha...then hor...you know we won't have any Internet connection once we moved in. SyJen said Alice won't survive without Internet. Nearly...Alice nearly couldn't survived. Phew...she managed since we had 2 days trip to Bath, Southampton & Portsmouth. We were lucky that we had this done by the time we reach home. Else...Jimmy & Me will be in really deep trouble. Alice spent the whole night Internet-ing - revenge!

Let me tell you why we love our new flat:

• Spacious - big big, lotsa area for AJ to moveabout
• Proper bedroom - was dining/bedroom/living room T___T
• Private courtyard - summer BBQ!
• Xtra room for guests
• Proper dining table - was sacrified to become AJ's changing table
• Xtra space for AJ to sleep - baby cradle
• Bath for AJ
• 5 mins to central park
• 5 mins to railway station
• 15 mins walk to city
• 15 mins walk to my office

Don't worry. I will post some photos of our new flat soon. Still need to clean the old flat before returning it back to the landlord. What a mess!

*** Dedicated for Val ***

Val, love your company here in UK. We have already missed you. Safe journey back to Hongkong & we'll see you soon. Very very soon. Guess what, we had a photo taken without you knowing. haha..naughty us.

Awesome Exeter

"Exeter? Just a boring town with only a street of shophouses. Don't expect too much". This is what I said to Alice. All 4 of us, Val, Alice, AJ & me went to Exeter yesterday.

On our way to Exeter, AJ was very excited. Hoorah for AJ! no more train virginAJ's famous rock eyes
The massive Cathedral Church
With Val & ... not sure what this "Church" is called.
Happy AJ
Very very happy AJ

Our lunch at Wetherspoon (nb we finished all of it - the powerpuff girls)

We spent the rest of the day shopping & camwhoring while waiting for Rudolf off work. Exeter has changed since the opening of Princesshay last year. I'm sorry, Exeter for saying what a boring city you are.

p.s. Special thanks to Rudolf & Val for their warmest hospitality during our short visit in Exeter.
