Happy birthday Po Po!!!

Wanna do a shout out to my mum aka baby Si's Po Po...
Happy 6? Birthday!!! Can't reveal her exact age...as women are quite sensitive when it comes to numbers :)

But for her age, she has graced well... I can't believe she's 60 + :)
I wished to have her genes...no wrinkles in sight!!!
Thank u for bringing all 3 of us up... I now know the sacrifices a mum makes since having baby Si... I don't know how u did it with 3 rascals like us... Hehehhe....

Baby Si has a hottie Po Po... I would say, looking back at her younger days pics... She was a hottie!!! My dad is a lucky man... I'm sure he agrees with me...

Here's Wishing my mama many many more blessed years to come...
Can't wait for baby Si to grow old with u :)

Our humble Family Xmas dinner!!!

While growing up, every year without fail my mum would prepare us turkey dinner... Not once but twice a year (sometimes 3 times!!!) Xmas, new year and post new year... But nowadays we are on "DIET"!!! *hahahhaah not!!!* Thus we have a diet looking turkey too... Mind u, this is the smallest turkey we ever had... Can be mistaken for a chicken too!!!???

My dad was camera shy that day... Also he was too eager to devour the bird, that he couldn't wait to dig in...
This year we had a simple & humble Xmas dinner... Normally it would have been a huge spread of mash potatoes, seafood (butter prawns, crab), dessert, etc...

We enjoyed our humble Xmas dinner in style... Pajamas party :)
Btw, when this pics were taken, we just came bck from krabi, Thailand-thus the tired looking faces minus my brother Jeffrey!!! (stay tune for this post-once mr. Hubby's done uploading our krabi pics from our camera)

We as a family are grateful for a fruitful 2012 n God's blessings on our family!!! A lot has happened in 2012 for us...
Appreciate what we have and our moments spend with each other!!!

Can't wait for what God has planned for us in 2013!!!

My dad said a special prayer especially for my bro Jeffrey!!! Gagagagagahahaha... Eager to know? Ask him urself ;)

Thank u aunty Jen n uncle Thomas!!!

Baby Si was excited to receive her first blocks!!!
Thank u aunty Jen n uncle Thomas for the thoughtful Xmas gift ;)
Of coz the first thing she did was toppled it over and nom nom the book!!! But it did keep her occupied for some time while mummy nom nom on durians :)

Baby Si 11-16th solid food...

Now that baby Si is 8+ months, Mummy has the green light to feed baby Si with new foods (other than fruits n vegetables)!
--------------------------------------------------
11th solid food: beef + porridge (multigrain rice + all sorts of vegetables)
Her 1st meat ;)

So what does baby Si think of her gourmet meal???

THE RESULT?
Baby Si: yummy...but a lil bit watery! thus a bit messy :p
Mummy: No preference on which type of meat to start baby Si with! Actually gong gong was the one that chose beef as that was the meat in the freezer at that moment! Mind you, gong gong cooked baby Si's first porridge meal :)

--------------------------------------------------
12th solid food: fish + porridge (multigrain rice + all sorts of vegetables)
Her 2nd meat :)
--------------------------------------------------
13th solid food: chicken + porridge (multigrain rice + all sorts of vegetables)
Her 3rd meat :)
--------------------------------------------------
14th, 15th, 16th solid food: pork + egg YOLK (egg whites is a no no as it's one of the high risk allergy food) + CHEESE + porridge (multigrain rice + all sorts of vegetables)
Her 4th meat :)

So what does baby Si think of her gourmet meal???

THE RESULT?
Baby Si: gong gong porridge is getting tastier!!!

Mummy: happy as this mummy is on vacation n off from cooking ;)

Note: was looking forward to feeding baby Si cheese (as mummy n daddy r BIG fans of cheese) but baby Si didn't really like it!!! Maybe cause cheese (western) doesn't go with porridge (Asian)... Will try some western combination next time (mash potato wt cheese perhaps?)

--------------------------------------------------
What new food should I intro next?
Stay tune to find out ;)

Note to my western readers: porridge aka congee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congee
Is famous in this part of the world especially famous to the Chinese...babies eat it, adults eat it when u r feeling sick, toothache, fed it to mr hubby when he had braces on for the first week, occasionally when having cravings for it (when u need a break from the normal rice, noodles, bread, pratha, etc...)
U guys should try it especially during those cold winter days!!! Just add in all sorts of meat n vegs! One wholesome meal in a pot ;) easy peasy meal...mind u, u can eat it for days...

Note: I'm amazed to find out that the word congee originated from Tamil!!! But funnily, mr.Hubby tasted his first porridge from his wifey... Maybe Indians prepare it differently? I'm up to try it!!! Who can cook Indian porridge???

Super sienna!!!

Thanks to a lovely Brunei fan of baby Si for sending her a Xmas gift all the way from Brunei... I believe her name is Alex?!?!
*At least I know someone is reading baby Si blog...* yeay!!!

This is by far baby Si's most wonderful costume outfit ever...She is attracting far more attention from strangers when she was wearing this outfit... Not that she didn't before this!

Super sienna, the super girl is here to save the world!!!

Oh yeah, n we ushered in the new years at I-city shah alam... Baby Si enjoyed seeing the wonderfully decorated lights... She got super excited... Both mummy n daddy enjoyed it too... We ended our 2012 year with non other than our yummy missed food from the mamak!!! Roti canai, tosai, ice lemon tea (for daddy) n nasi paprik wt beef, ice coffee (for mummy n baby Si)

Happy 2013!!!

Much love from baby Si to her Brunei fans,
Xoxo...

Baby Si first haircut!!!

Mummy was quite nervous to give baby Si her first haircut!!! But it was due... Her fringe was getting into her eyes and her trusty ol' signature HAIRCLIP keeps ending up in her mouth ;(
Won't trust the saloon to cut baby Si hair as she moves around way too much (very kepoh/busy body baby...)
Does this mummy have trust issues when it comes to baby Si??? Hmmmm....

So this mummy decided to cut baby Si's hair herself!!! Of coz wt the help of gong gong (to keep her still) and mr. Hubby (camera man)

Btw, I found an iPad app to make these picture collages... And warning: it's ADDICTING!!!

Happy 4yr anniversary, sayang :)

Today marks 4 yrs anniversary since we got married!!!
KarMie was formed 7 yrs ago in Columbus, Indiana USA...

Can't wait to spend many more years with u sayang...

Here are some random pics from that eventful day...
No preference on the pics, just that mr. Hubby chose it!

Our garden wedding in cyberview, Malaysia! Thank God it didn't rain on that special day and we got our dream garden wedding... (btw, it rained the weekend before n the weekend after since its monsoon season every year end)
