february babies

Happy (belated) birthday to these February babies... although you guys are not babies like me anymore.

Tok-Pa turned 60 on the 6th of February


Auntie Alma celebrated her 27th bday in Japan on the 11th of February


cousin Ikie's (right) 11th birthday was on the 15th of February

For Tok-Pa's special 60, we had a cake delivered from Japan... eh.. not really delivered, but Auntie Alma made the order from Japan. We bought him something that Baba would like to use for himself, an Ogawa massage chair. So Tok-Pa can be massaged after playing golf every week.

ooo... cake from Japan...


everyone pose with their baju tido...


well, the big chair will only arrive in a week. so in the meantime enjoy this X-chair for gamers that we got for free...

bowlin bowlin bowlin

After the Putrajaya outing, we went to Bukit Jalil Golf and Country Club for a family bowling 'tournament'. Before I was born, Baba and Umi usually only have a family bowling session, but this time Tok-Pa came up with some surprise presents (which turned out to be... jeng jeng jeng... read until the end).

Baba used to be in the school bowling MSN (Majlis Sukan Negara) project. He was groomed supposedly to be the nation's answer to the next male bowling champion. But unfortunately he choose the safe, boring path and went on to work in IT instead. Well, like he said, at least his arms are not disproportionately sized anymore (compare any professional bowler's right and left arms and you'll see one significantly bigger than the other - believe it!).

Anyway, it was 'hujan kucing dan anjing' on that day, and I took a nap in the bowling alley to the sound of bowling balls crashing into the pins. In the end, Baba only managed to get 3rd place for the Male (adult category) behind his uncle and my uncle respectively. However, Umi and Baba's lane team - together with Ayah Ngah and Che'Ah - managed to scoop up the Best Team category (courtesy of Baba playing for Umi for almost half of the 'tournament' bcos Umi had to dodoi me to sleep).

I can put 3 fingers in one hole!

and a totally unrelated special picture from Japan, just so that they don't feel left out:

By the way, the presents turned out to be drinking mugs with a special thank you note on it from a certain wakil rakyat (obviously unused since the last general election)... cheeky

putrajaya outing

Umi had planned an outing to snap some family pics with the backgrounds of Putrajaya. This isn't my first time here, of course. (Umi and Baba do have a habit of going back to places we've been to before, don't they?)

Anyway, we went off in the morning just the three of us. An extra photographer? Naah, don't think that's necessary. It was more fun to just use our creativity to put the camera on certain places and set the camera timer. And the occasional asking-people-for-help-to-take-your-family-photo-because-you-couldn't-afford-an-extra-photographer. Oh, not to forget the pictures where there's only two of us in there :)

first I look down..


..then I look to the right..


..anywhere but the camera..


..chomping on Umi's hand is always a good excuse


hey look, tourists!! in Putrajaya of all places!!


Baba, are you sure we won't get run over by a car standing in the middle of the road??


finally!! look at me, mr camera!!


our favourite pic... camera-on-the-grass effect

More pics here ... plus a baby angkasawan special...

to infinity... and beyoooooond!!

appointment with the doc

Did I mention that I went to the doctor for my 5th month jab? Two weeks ago, Umi and Baba brought me to see my paediatrician. First I was put on the weight scale to see how my weight is progressing.

Birth : 2.5 kg
1st month : 3.0 kg
2nd month : 4.2 kg
3rd month : 4.8 kg
5th month : 5.6 kg

Well, I'm still my itsy-bitsy tiny petit little self. But the doc said the progress is fine. Just need to start on the solid food part thing, which I'm enjoying right now. She also asked Umi what I can do now at 5 months young. Well, I would love to show her how I can roll and how I can make my mouth go kemam. But Umi just answered that I can do all those stuff (well, she didn't actually tell the doc about the mouth thingy... maybe she wanted to though).


And then it was time...

relax.. doctor just wanna check you..


..then unsuspectingly, doctor stick this needle in your thigh


huh? uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....


...aaaaaaa!!! how could you??


then doctor put some oral medicine in your mouth while it's wide open


alalala cayang... cian dia


Umi, save me from the evil doctor


Umi : the doctor is not evil.. she just wants you to be healthy, darling


Baba (from the background) : be strong, my young Padwan.. I sense the force is becoming stronger in you.. may the force be with you..

So there. My next appointment would be after my 1st birthday (weehoo!! no more jabs for the next 6 months!!). The doc also asked Umi to start putting eggs into my diet when I'm around 10-11 months, to see whether I'm allergic to it. That's because the next jab at 1-year-old has got something to do with that. If I'm not allergic to eggs, then fine, but if I am, then that's a different story. For now, I'll just wait until that time comes.
