Taken with my new baby ..

Here are my first few shots taken with my EOS 7D using the "auto" mode of course .. lol ! .. I love the crispness of the images :)

My really sweet Japanese Aunty Minako :p

Yes, my mom's eldest brother married a Japanese lady .. Minako. She is really a sweet, dear lady .. we enchange letters on and off and I send her pics of the girls .. birthday cards etc.

This year, for Christmas, she sent the girls a bunch of hair accessories ... they are LOVELY !! :p

And she remembers that I like Barbie .. so she got me this really cute mini tote bag .. :p

Thank you, Aunty Minako !!! :p We miss you loads !!!

Decided to go down to town on Monday to do a bit of shopping and take in the Christmas decorations in the malls :p

Here are the girls at Takashimaya :p
Emily picked out this Strawberry Shortcake doll as her Christmas pressie this year.
I don't understand it but Lauren lurves this little little figurines ... so she chose 2 of the packs (they were really cheap anyway .. lol)

Claudia chose a Wii game last week .. :p

I can nap ANYWHERE ...

Ah yes, it's been awhile since I posted a pic of Emily napping in the oddest of places ..

So yes, here she is .. she fell asleep on the dining chair ... lol!

Now, she's much better and is agreeable to being carried and put down on the mattress/mat etc to nap properly.

Still farnee as hell to see her suddenly asleep like that though.

One minute she's awake and chatting or drawing ..

The next .... THIS. hahaha :p

Goodbye to crawling ...

The little girl has totally stopped crawling now. She walks and walks and walks till she's tired out .. then it's nap time!! .. lol.

At 10.45 on a Friday night ...

While Daddy was attending a work dinner thing ... we were at Suntec City having dinner then shopping HAPPILY. These pics were taken after shopping .. around 10.45pm.

As u can see, the girls were all still very much awake. I think my maid looked more tired out ... hahaha!

Happy Birthday, my darling Calista !!

We had lunch at Chili's at Tanglin mall on Sunday after church to celebrate Calista's first birthday. Calista was a happy lil chicky even though she didn't get to eat anything there :)

After lunch, we walked around a bit ... parking was per entry so we took our time. Lol !

Yes. these 2 lil scamps love the kiddt rides aka coin suckers. I oblige them once in a while to keep them happy.

Gawd only knows WHERE on earth she picked up that habit of posing in pics this way with her fingers like that .. reminds me of those Jap/Korean tourists *sigh*

My baby and me .. :) we were at Macs having a drink before heading home.

Pn her birthday on Monday .. Calista is now 9.5 kg :)

Her cake .. nothing fancy since we decided not to have a party :)

Being warned repeatedly NOT TO TOUCH THE CAKE !! .. lol.

After the cake cutting, I let her hold the knife for photo taking.
