absence mAkes the ::heArt:: grow foNder…

more so when you are a mum…

jessica has waited for the day for baby erin to arrive in this world…
and when she did….
she was indeed a small bundle of joy to the family…

and then she grew into a slightly bigger bundle of joy in that couple of months coming to 3…
jessica has to say good bye for now for a while…
which really wasn’t easy…

dear Someone Else….

and there was a waiting cat….

dear Someone Else….

more than enough for us to share…. 😉

in tHeir eYes….& ours…

animals….
interestingly enough…
do have a mind of their own sometimes…
do have their emotions sometimes…

which is something that all of us never quite acknowledge…
because animals are “it”s…..
not a “he” or “she”…

the little duckling being caged up in a local market…
i looked back at this photo again..
and feel the “puppy eye” look in it…..

i bet it somewhat knows the “bars” in front of it…
and what is to come..

i am thinking…
from it” to a “he/she”?…

“hello”…my name is….

& i finally meet baby jessica..

hello erin…..

dear Someone Else…

how she controls or hide her happiness so well…
only when you talk to her…will you feel the butterflies in her stomach..haha.. 😛

it was in the wind that the magical time is from 630-730am…

i am going for this….

it’s about time manz…

your last change to smile before we close the door on you…

first attempt to bribe us…

guess the 1st one didn’t work..

neh….not impressive enough…

i realised the trick is to just be late then you will be let go just so you don’t miss the auspicious time..
lucky you then!! new dad is on your side… :O

you still need to put in some effort to find your wife…

*jie – means sister in chinese dialect…

>— tHe wedd!Ng i flew to >>

the moment we have all been waiting for..
since the day they announced their engagement..
to the proposal…
to the big day now itself….

it was a journey worth making..
seeing the dearest people in your lives in their happiest moments…
i was honoured…
very…

i booked my tickets so late that i think it was more “economical” to fly through senai airport in jb..
for some strange reason..it just didn’t occur to me that i should book air tickets for this wedding..
maybe it just didn’t felt like i needed to go away… 😛

for a moment…i thought this was it – the airport…
yeah..looking very disposable some what..

air asia check-in q..
i didn’t get the picture…
but 2 chicks actually were travelling with 2 pieces of car bumpers..

yes…
car bumpers..

and they checked it right in…
way-a-go…

just when someone was asking “if rain how ah?”…
then i saw the answer..

finally i arrived at kuching airport…
the airport building is actually quite nice!!
better than what i expected… 😛

i gave plane food a total miss…
time to hit the local places..

it’s called “open air”…
i had 1 of the tastiest bringjal in my life..
skinned (no more purple skin) and cooked with salted fish…
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….

my “jie”…making sure i get the orders right…
in their local terms for some stuff…
