Chee Chee's 4th month birthday celebration !!!

Today is Chee Chee 4th month birthday. Mummy and daddy are on leave today to celebrate it for Chee Chee. Initially Chee Chee has to go to hospital for her 2nd dose injection, but she was having dierrhea few days ago, so Doctor Jessica advised us to postpone the injection. So today is purely celebrating Chee Chee's 4th month birthday. Early in the morning, Poh Poh and Jiu Jiu went to market and bought a lot of foods for today celebration and praying ceremony. According to the old old trandition, on the 4th month birthday, the baby has to wear a bally biscuits necklace and eat a drumstick after praying. So, just to have fun, we had followed this old old traditional way to celebrate Chee Chee's 4th month birthday.

After taking bath in the morning, Chee Chee was dressed nicely. Poh Poh had prepared all the praying stuffs and we started the ceremony at 11am.

After the praying, Chee Chee has to wear the bally biscuits necklace and eat a chicken drumstick. Old people believe that after eating the biscuits and drumstick, it will prevent dribble from her mouth. So we really hope that after this, Chee Chee may stop ejecting saliva. But of course, Chee Chee will not really eat the food, so actually are mummy and daddy that finished the biscuits and drumstick...hehehe......


After the ceremony, Chee Chee had a short nap. When she woke up at 1pm, we decided to visit some of her baby friends at Kim Poh's house (My mother's eldest brother). Currently, Ah Kim is taking care of 3 little kids by herself. She is very capable and a professional baby sitter. She is able to handle 3 babies, and of course with my uncle's help.


After visiting Chee Chee's baby friends, we went home at around 4pm. Before taking shower, we had taken a few photos of Chee Chee which posted like mummy and daddy during their baby time. You may compare the baby photos below, and do you think Chee Chee looks more like mummy or daddy? Can you guess which one is mummy, which one is daddy and which one is Chee Chee? hahahaha......

10th Day of Chinese New Year 2008

It was the 10th day of Chinese New Year. There was nothing special we did today. Poh Poh and Gong Gong went to Genting over the weekend. Therefore, we stayed at home the whole day.

During lunch time today, mummy and daddy went to Gurney Plaza and bought Chee Chee a new chair. It is called Bumbo chair. This chair is suitable for baby above 3 months and able to support their head. When Chee Chee sat on the chair, she was so excited and happy.

8th Day of Chinese New Year 2008

This day, everybody was very excited to celebrate "Pai Ti Kong". Before "Pai Ti Kong", we all went to City Bayview Japanese Restaurant to celebrate grandfather's birthday. It was a lovely restaurant and we got a private room for ourselves. Grandfather was having a great time as the place was peace and nice. Happy Birthday ya Ah Gong !!!

After the dinner at City Bayview, we went back to "Pai Ti Kong" until midnight.

5th Day of Chinese New Year 2008

Joshua's mummy is mummy's old friend (Aunty Celine). They knew each other since high school. We dated Joshua at 2pm for tea. Joshua is about 10 days younger than Chee Chee. He is very handsome and cute. Hope we may meet up with Joshua again in Singapore.

This day was the last day ta yi ma, cousin sister and brother staying in Penang. We went to Poh Poh's house early in the morning and had breakfast with them at home.

This day was also a happening day. Everyone woke up early in the morning and went to Northam Hotel for dim sum breakfast. Chee Chee was dressed nicely and enjoyed the scenery at the hotel.

After the lovely breakfast, Chee Chee went back to Poh Poh's house and stayed at home with Kakak Kahya. The rest of us went to Goldenscreen Cinema for the movie - CJ7. It was a funny and touching movie. If Chee Chee is 3 years old now, then I will definitely bring her for the movie.

On this night, we had a proper reunion dinner at CRC. As the restaurant was very crowded, therefore, Chee Chee did not joined us for the dinner.

2nd Day of Chinese New Year 2008

Early in the morning of 2nd day of Chinese New Year, grandfather and grandmother had departed from Penang to Japan for an adventurous cruise journey. Therefore, we did not manage to have breakfast with them. But today, we had our breakfast with Gong Gong, Poh Poh and our special guest....... Ta Yi Ma !!! (Mummy's eldest sister). Of course with Chee Chee's cousin sister and cousin brother - Zi Ning and Chuan Zheng. It was a lovely breakfast at Liang Liang Bak Kut Teh...yummy yummy.....




After the yummy breakfast, mummy, ta yi ma and shiao yee went to Tesco and Giant to buy groceries and junk foods for that night BBQ party. At the evening time, all the foods were ready and the party began at 6:30pm. Besides celebrating Chinese New Year, we also celebrated Zi Ning's belated birthday on that night. Poh Poh had prepared lots of foods such as fried maggie mee, fried rice, jelly, BBQ foods (satay, chicken wings) and etc. All of us were very full and we all really had a great time together. It was fun and unforgettable.



After finished all the foods, we had taken lots of family photos together. All the family members were gathered this day except for Jie Fu (Mummy's brother in law). So sad that jie fu cannot joined us for this year Chinese New Year celebration. Hope he may come to Penang soon.

This night, Chee Chee slept very late as she was very exciting and playing with her cousin sister and cousin brother.
