Wazzzzuuup!

Hey I know I've been neglecting this blog for a while cause I'm obsessed with Dayre app for mobile blogging. You can always find me at dayre.me/rinaong.

Time passed so fast when you have a baby with you. Darling Dom alone is a handful for me. Feed, bathe, feed, entertain and put him to bed becomes my daily thing now. Every single minute of my life revolves around him. I love it. I still think that I'm not spending enough time with him. I want more!

Okay enough of my obsession about my handsome son here.

This year we broke the tradition of not going back to Penang for Chinese New Year. We decided to go Bali instead with my cousins and auntie. We brought the Yee Sang with us. Our reunion dinner was something different. We had pork ribs which was super delicious!

Nothing much to shop in Bali. Sigh. It was an interesting trip but then all of us missed the reunion over in Penang. We were pretty sure they are having so much fun and laughter at the other island.

We know we must go back to hometown during Chinese New Year. So we booked a super cheap flight and super expensive hotel room. Guess which hotel?

Jeng jeng jeng!

Hard Rock Hotel. Hahahaha. We got the room where our balcony goes directly into the pool. Awesomeness! All thanks to hubby for making it possible. Also must thank my persistence in nagging also lah.

We had so much fun meeting up with family and friends for lunch and dinner. 
Okay now I shall spam the pictures!

Brand New Year - 2014

So much has changed for the past year. Of course changed for the better. Lucky us. Well, first of all Happy New Year to everyone (I know it's 16 days late cause I have been blogging on my mobile on the Dayre app which you can view in dayre.me/rinaong ) I mostly update there is because I can blog at anytime when my Darling Dom is asleep or when he is busy playing and I can sneak a little time here and there to update the less than 500 words per time. It's a short and simple and straight to the point although some can still be very long winded.

2013 has been good to us.

• Darling Dom is growing up beautifully and perfectly. We are blessed.
• Bella has done well in her PSLE exam eventhough she is in Singapore for just 2 years.
• Belle is doing good in her school. She is now a more confident and outgoing person.
• Me and hubs are happily growing sideways! Hahahaha (Prosperous mah!)
• We went for family holidays in Korea.
• We have more than we could ever asked for and we are thankful for it.

There! I have it listed down. It's not a very long list but then it definitely has made us a better person and a more close and tight knit family because of it. Let's hope 2014 is a even more better year for us and also everyone else!

Anime Festival Asia 2013

First time attending the Anime Festival Asia in Suntec, Singapore. Tickets for the 3 day event from 11-13 November 2013 is $10 (one day entry) just for the Exhibition Access. 

As usual, the place was filled with Otakus, which means anime lovers in Japanese (info gotten from Bella - she is also an anime lover FYI).

It is very obvious that these people put in effort to dress up exactly like their favorite anime characters. Thumbs up to them. 👍👍👍. Another thing I found interesting is that they have the AFA Cafe - served by maids and butlers! Too bad we didn't manage to dine in there cause the queue was soooo long! Both Bella and Belle wanted to see Yutakis in person and luckily they manage to at the end! 💃💃💃💃

This year Belle bought the Naruto headband for $10 and Kunai for $5. Bella didn't find anything interesting to indulge in I think. Here are some of the pics that we took in the convention. 

Oh ya btw, I honestly don't know the character names. I just take those thati find cool. 😜

Cool pics right?  Have a good day all!

Dom's 1st Birthday

The title says it all....it's Dom's 1st Birthday!

Can't believe how fast time flies. It was not too long ago that Dom came into our family, making our life complete. We love his smiles, laugh, cries, whines and every little thing he does. He always makes our day better. We are always there to capture his moments...mostly his firsts! Wouldn't miss it for the world! And now....my little baby is 1. Then comes the terrible 2s. Let me take all this slowly. I need to enjoy his babyhood day by day.

Back to his birthday party...the best thing is we celebrated in Penang...in our house! But then I have to admit that...nothing tops all those who came that night even though it was raining cats and dogs the whole night. They are the best!!!

We took a road trip back this time. We drove from Singapore to KL. Then stop for 2 days before we head back to Penang. Then that's when all the cleaning and cleaning and cleaning starts. Despite all that, we still have a lot of fun. We always have fun, as long as 5 of us are together, no matter where we are in the world.

We chose Pocoyo them for Dom's big day. Simply because it's his favourite cartoon since he was like few months old. We engaged a party planner, photographer and also caterer for the day. Everything turns out very well. The weather, well, it actually gets everyone closer together. Literally! Imagine my humble little house packed with about 50-60 people. I love all these gatherings of family and friends!

Well, like I always said....a picture paints a thousand words.

 Here are some of the pictures of friends and relatives that came. A million hugs and thanks to them for making the night a memorable one. (only picked a few pictures to post cause there are waaaaaay too many to upload everything.)

Then comes the cake cutting ceremony....we had all the kids lined up. Everyone gathers around to sing birthday song for Dom. He loves the attention he's getting.

Little rabbit!

Little reindeer!

Presents time!

After a tiring night...Dom decides to drink his own Pocoyo brand mineral water.  :)

Hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as we enjoyed the party.
