Orgins of our Sons' names

Oh, today we have a fine weather here, cooling morning.
Took a while to settle our new baby arrival, finally ...some time to write/update my e-diary.

Today, I'm going to make an entry on the origin of our sons' names.

1) Oh Yu Xiang, Jay

Yu Xiang is the name chosen by his Ah-gong & Ah-ma from the list of names given by the fengshui master. As for Jay, that's given by his dad & mum. Dad is Joe Oh, mum is Angela Chen, so we wanted our kids' name to start with 'JA'. JAY - stands for Joe, Angela & Yuxiang and it's simple to pronouce that even his great grand mother has no difficulty calling him ! See, how proud his parents are~ haa. And from baby name book which I received from Abbott, Jay means Quick, Lively in old German - well well... looks like our YuXiang is living up to his name ~

2) Oh Yu Kuan, JackThis time round, we requested the fengshui master to have YU as one of the word.
Kuan was chosen as this should be one of the virtues a guy should process. Have a heart big like our laughing buddha. As for Jack, that's because his chinese name as a letter 'K' and also Jack means God is gracious. We want our boys to think of what mother nature has bring to mankind and that one shouldnt only be thinking about himself only.

Well, our dear sons, daddy & mummy have given you a terrific name to start off your life journey...we'll teach you, guide you through your initial years and the rest is up to you. We wish you all the beST AND ALWAYS THINK OF LAO MU AS YOUR GUIDING LAMP.

08/08/2009 - our new family member arrives !

08/08/09 - @ 2258 hours, our baby no. 2 was born !
This is totally unexpected as baby has arrived 5 weeks earlier than the expected due date.

• Yes, initially Dr. Chen & Dr. Lim were a litt;e worried abt this little one as he is premature, a night @ ICU showed that he has no problem breathing on his own @ all. Well, the next concern is feeding. As he's too small (>2.5kg) so feeding directly from mommy is very energy consuming for him. I have been pumping our my breastmilk but the qty will gets smaller and smaller if baby does not latch on directly. We'll see how it goes. for the time now, we'll continue to try. Let's try hard together !

YuXiang's Saturday @ home

Let's take a look at how our little YuXiang spend his Saturday @ home...



This is where I found YuXiang when I came out from toilet !
Surprise Surprise ~ How did he manage to get up to the table?
My Guess:
A) From the grey stool
B) From the side (extreme left)
Isnt our little boy adventurous ~
That's what we had wished for - YuXiang to be a sunny, health boy!










YuXiang found his daddy's eco-drive watch lying on the stool in the bedroom and he thought he would like to try it on.
