It's Sarah's birthday

Hi, I’m back from my CNY holidays!! As usual CNY means major travelling for me and it’s not easy when you have to lug half of your house (plus a toddler) halfway across the country and back. I’ll blog more about my CNY 2009 in a later post. Right now I need to clear up all the posts that I’ve been putting you guys on hold, before the “news” turns even staler.

Sarah turns 2!

Last December was Sarah’s 2^nd birthday, which happens to also “coincide” with me and harby’s 2^nd anniversary of having lack of sleep (yawn.. ZzzzzZZzz). I’ve been using this phrase quite often lately but I still want to use it again now “How time flies”. I still remember seeing my angelic-looking little Sarah when I just delivered her at the hospital. Now, she’s turned into a …. well… self-professed monster. (I asked Sarah whether she’s an angel or monster and she cheekily laughed and replied me that she’s a monster! Aiks!) It’s only her second year and yet I feel that she grown up so much. At one hand I hope that Sarah will grow up soon but on the other hand, I’m afraid that she’ll grow up too fast. Too fast that I’m not ready to accept that she’s a big girl already. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to savor all her growing up years so that I can keep all those beautiful moments in whatever memory that is left during my old age. I guess this is what being a mother is about.

This year we had celebration in Alor Star and Penang because my parents and family came to Penang for the holidays. Here are some pictures of the happy occasion.

Mummy also want to take a photo with Sarah and therefore the cake has to be "cut" again :D

The children entertaining themselves

Sarah & Rachel: Who said celebrating birthday was easy? We had to entertain the adults by doing kissing poses summore. Life is hard.

This photo is just so S.A.R.A.H.

This one too.

Getting creative - how many different ways can you use a tripod

One big happy family with Grandpa, Grandma, daddy, mummy, aunty, uncle and cousin Rachel.

Finally got to eat the cake

Say "ahh"

Today is the 10th day of new year so it's still not too late for me to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year. Hopefully brother Ox will bring us all joy, good health and happiness.
