Our First Family Holiday to Kuching - Sarawak

We had our first family trip from 7 to 11 Dec. It was such a fun trip, very nice to catch up with everybody we've missed for so long. Joel was rather well behaved in the flight both ways, he fell asleep. Thank God! I guessed he enjoyed the trip, having had his dearest daddy with him all day, and so many people giving him attention he needed. We hope to be able to go for another holiday next year!

Big Feet

Joel has inherited yet another of his daddy's genes. They both have big feet! Jackson wore a whopping size 9 to 10. Big considering his slim build. And Joel.... I let him tried on the shoes my cousin Christine gave. The shoe was meant for 18-24 mths. Fortunately I let him tried on, it fits him perfectly! Better let him wear now. :s

Sleep position

Tried to pat him to sleep but he was tossing & turning. Then he crawl out to the sofa, climb on it, watch TV with me, and when I looked back at him, he's sound asleep, I just couldn't stop laughing, his sleeping pose is hilarious! Joel never fails to make me laugh. :)

Passport Photo

Tried to take digital photo of him at home but can't. He's looking at all directions except the camera. So I took him to Lot 1 for the professionals help. The first shop I went in, I was attracted to it because its big and bright. But the staff there certainly is not BRIGHT. Service was lousy. They put Joel on a chair that can turn! How to take photo with him spinning?! I told them the problem, they took out a bar stool. How BRIGHT! Joel cant even sit properly without any back support! I just told the staff "I am not taking photo here". So I moved to the next shop, at a corner, very inconspicious. Very friendly staff, I can sit beside Joel and guide him. Great. And they charged me $7 because I brought my own thumbdrive. Hey KODAK shop, please train your staff and improve your service. Great job done, FUJI!

Here's what we said during the photo taking session:

Staff: "eh, this shot not very good, can you ask you son to close his mouth?"
Me: "eh close his mouth? I try. Joel, close your mouth ok?"
Joel: "................"
Staff: "oh cannot, this shot mouth still open. Hello boy boy, look here, mouth close"
Joel: "....................."
Me: "Come boy, close your mouth like this (use my hands and close it), wah close already!"
Staff: "Sorry, I click too slow. Cannot close I think"
Me: "I think so too"
Staff: "Its ok, his performance is very good!"
So here's the photo of Joel in his passport for the next 5 years:

Playing with toys

Joel doesn't like to play his toys when daddy is in. But when he's off, he took out all his toys and strewn them all over the place, and me the poor MAID have to tidy up after him. :(

I have Moved!

Hello everyone,
I have moved to this new blog for Joel. Why? Because Beta Blogger SUCKS! Big time! Its a mistake to move over to that useless good for nothing. Anyway, my friends, I will post all of Joel's development from this new webby moving forward. Continue to leave comments, especially after the change, I want to make sure my regular 'fans' are still trailing my bloggy. Heeheehee.
