RayThoRous's 1sT BirThDaY

it's my didi's 1st bday!!

like not so long ago when we celebrated his full month, and now, 1st bday liao. very fast!!!

celebration was at jumbo seafood @ riverside point

my dearest didi =)

finally reaching another milestone =)

actually till now, still feel very 亏欠 towards didi. now rayous comes home with us every day, but didi still hasnt.. we only bring him back on fri and over the wkend. and sometimes, it's so rush (cux we went bk late), that i can only see him for a while at MIL's place, before having to go home. haiiz. lucky i brought him along to the taiwan trip, else will surely feel worse.. 

anyway, i promise promise to bring him back more often once he can sleep thru the night ok. still cannot promise that i will bring him home every night, cuz it's really mad rush in the morning. but, we shall c how. surely will improve de k!! 

and didi... 1yo liao... pls work towards sleeping soundly thru the night ok! actually for that few nights in taiwan, he was ok leh (surprisingly!). dont know why come back liao, will still wake up in the middle of the night. uhhhh.

ok, back to the bday celeb. the food at jumbo is quite nice, but the presentation is quite bad. wasnt expecting this, but overall still ok la, i guess. 

ok, so, happy birthday raythorous. mama wishes u good health, happiness and smarty smarty ok! 

love u boy. 

Ahhh, back to work tmr.. really end of holiday liaooooo....

Took today to rejuvenate abit. Did hair treatment, then settle the children's banking stuff, then went for a massage. Shiook.

Haiz, should have taken tmr leave as well..

Starting to miss the days in Taiwan... haaa..

Ha. 

Still can 忙里偷闲, 泡温泉!

OK,  coming back in a couple of hours. 

Can't believe the long planned trip is coming to an end!! 

Time flies! 

So far really not so bad.

Glad to have the chance to finally bring the folks to Taiwan,  though it's also very tiring for them. Ha.

And also glad to have brought ah di along. Though it will really be easier for everybody if I hadn't.  Ha. 

OK. 

A pat on my shoulder.

Good job!

Weather in Taipei now is really cold....!

Wasn't expecting this, tot it'll be around 25deg, who knows, today is only 18deg!!!

Anyway, started the day w breakfast at hotel

And then our 1st stop, Taipei 101

Next was to this 永康街。apparently a shopping street, but really nothing much lor.

Then to 国父纪念馆。and know what? It was sooo  chilly cold that we alighted, took a few pics, and decided we want to go back to the car already. Really really v cold and we weren't geared enough.

The poor boys.. made them wear a few layers, and still not sure if sufficient or not..

The unexpected cold weather really did spoil some of the mood. Cuz it's so cold, we don't really wanna stay outdoor. 

And now I'm super worried about going to cingjin which will even be colder. Honestly, Rayous only has 1 sweater and raythorous has 2 jackets. Lucky I brought along long pants for them. So now, can only layer them up lor. And hopefully the weather can be warmer for the rest of the days.

And poor Rayous Kenna scolded a few times by us today. I really wonder (and I definitely hope not) if it was because of didi's presence, that he became exceptional AA and cranky. and he kept asking for his pillow and tutu which totally pissed me off. So much so that I scolded him (on top of Taipei 101! Omg). So much so that I made him threw the tutu out of the hotel room!! Drama la.

Though we secretly went to take it back, i hope we wont relent and give in to him again. I really hope we can wean him off successfully! So far OK leh, he managed to fall asleep without his tutu. Haha.

OK, suppose to visit raohe night market at night de, but I guess everyone's tired liao (and sian of the cold weather), so we gave it a miss. Hopefully still can sqz it back in in one of the remaining days.

OK,  tmr will b packed also. Going jiufen and shifen. 

OK,  good night. Super tired... 

Blogging from the Taipei hotel now.

Yey, I'm still in one piece!

Ha!

Our first family trip!

Lucky the boys were ok during the flight..

Raythorous's 1st flight!  And I think he performed better than his kor kor's first flight. At least he was OK to sleep in the bassinet, albeit for a short while only. 

And the kor kor only fell asleep during the end of the flight..

And like the kor kor's first flight, we also ordered a bday cake for raythorous!!

But the cake was served when both boys were asleep. No choice.  The only free time is the time when both are asleep. Duh. 

At Taipei airport

And the hotel is really thoughtful. Besides the cot that we requested for, they also provided bathing set 

  

Really super 贴心。

I was still super worried on how to bath raythorous. Now no need to worry liao. But we will only stay in this hotel for 3 nights. Hopefully the rest of the hotels that we'll be going to will also be soo thoughtful.

OK,  so far so good.

Everyone is asleep now. 

Lucky raythorous is ok to sleep in the cot, unlike the kor kor when he was at the same age.

Now just praying raythorous won't wake up in the middle of the night. 

OK,  nights!!

Ok, after months of thinking and thinking and thinking... and asking of soo many pple for their opinions....

I have decided to bring my dear didi along!  

Haii. 

Just can't bear the thought of leaving him behind la.

So, all in for a tough trip with 2 folks and 2 kiddos.

Really good luck xia.

The packing alone already took me almost one whole day! 

Really!

OK.  

Good luck.
