Family Photo with baby Zheng Yuan

My in laws and my grandma has come to our house and stay a few days with us. We are happy that both our parents are staying with us these few days, and we really enjoyed ourselves very much these few days.

Having a great time taking some group photos together with both our parents & baby ZY. So sweet ... though ZY was a bit grumpy during the photo session... haha..

Baby's first Dim Sum & Bak Kut Teh

Last weekend, we brought ZY along for a Dim Sum breakfast. The place was very crowded but we are very lucky to get a place in less than 15 minutes.

ZY: "Why are we waiting?! Why are we waiting?! Daddy daddy, where is my Dim Sum?!"


ZY:"Daddy, can't you see my grumpy face? I'm really hungry and I want my Dim Sum now~" ...



The next day after the Dim Sum, we had Bak Kut Teh for lunch, and of course ZY is along with us. He seems to enjoy the taste of Bak Kut Teh leh.. haha...

Here comes our hungry baby...
ZY: "Is the Bak Kut Teh ready?? Slurrp... "


ZY: "Daddy, let me try the Bak Kut Teh!! I don't want to just watching you all eating it!!"


... and finally, here come the big Bak Kut, and ZY seems very happy to be able to get a taste of what the rest of us are eating... haha...

Baby's Evening Walk

Today's weather was cloudy but quite windy. It is a good weather for an evening walk. Thus, we put ZY on his stroller, and enjoy ourselves very much walking around in this playground in our neighbourhood.

Wesak Day

It's Wesak Day (19th May), which is a public holiday. Hence, we have decided to have our vegetarian lunch at "Tien Hau" Temple, Seputih. We have wonderful moments together with baby here. It reminds us of the time we had our ROM (Registration of Marriage) there in year 2005. It also reminds us that we have visited to this temple one week before baby ZY was born. We feel excited to have visited the temple this time together with ZY. :)
We reach there around 11.30am & there were a lot of cars parking along the hill side, not to mention the crowd praying in the temple. There were a lot of people taking photos around the temples too... And, we joined the crowd... haha..

Baby's Return to Seremban

Last Saturday (17th May), we had brought our baby back to my hometown at Seremban for holiday. Its been 3 months since baby last visit to "Tai Ma" & "Tai Po".

On that night, we invited baby's "Tai Ma" for a dinner near our house. The dinner was great, baby Zheng Yuan was very cooperative (didn't cry) and we are able to have an enjoyable dinner. After the dinner, we had a small photo session in our house... :P

Baby's New Discoveries

Baby Zheng Yuan has some new discoveries when he is 4 months old...

1st Discovery (He can bottle-feed himself) ...

2nd Discovery (he can hold & bite his teething toy without any assistance from mum and dad) ...

3rd Discovery (Baby is enjoying playing the super mini piano) ...

Baby @ 4 months old

Today baby ZY is 4 months old (according to Chinese calender). There are still some Chinese practises the customary when the baby is 4 months old. My wife's family is one of them, and we have decided to follow.

My wife has started cooking the porridge using slow cooker the night before to make sure the porridge is as smooth as possible.


Early this morning, she went to market to look for the ingredient needed. She has bought the "tongue fish" (to be pan fried and the meat is to be smashed and mixed into the porridge). If can't find the tongue fish, it can be replaced by other type of fish.

This is how tongue fish looks like: -


She has also bought some "Taugeh" and "KuChai". These ingredient are to be cooked, and the KuChai is used to tie a bunch of taugeh together.


She has also turned a bunch of "Marrie biscuits" into a necklace using a red string ...


And, now the ceremony has begun...
1st: Put on the biscuit necklace to baby, and let him bite on it. (He seems to enjoy the biscuits, and had had a few small bites of the biscuits... )


2nd: Rub baby's gum with Taugeh+KuChai (They said this will cool the gum and baby will feel better during teething time ...)


3rd: Add the smashed fish meat into the porridge and feed baby with the porridge


4th: Had a hair cut (or bald him?) hahah... Baby is behaving well during the hair cut... I like the way he looks after the hair cut! Haha...


And we are done with the ceremony! :D
