Photos that Tell a Thousand Words

Grand Opening of Audrey's blog

Congratulation to Audrey, my beloved sister. She finally got a blog - http://audreytky.blogspot.com/ .

和妹妹冠瑜分享了很多“部落”的种种， 终于她有了自己的“部落”。 很开心因为可能大家长大了没有什么时间通电话或聚在一起， 加上时差， “部落”变成我们互相关心对方的其中一种管道。

My baby boy first bath

shy... shy...

One Day Old

Journey from one stage of life to another

Even though I have gone through classes and hear from a lot of relatives and friends on the process of giving birth, still the feeling of "uncertainty" is there.

Waiting for the Midwife to show me to the OT.

即使是已经上课或在家人朋友身上知道了很多， 还是很紧张， 说不紧张是骗人的。 等了一段时间，有两位医生走过来。 一位还是医学生。 就是这位医学生帮我准备要打点滴的针管，手震地在一旁的绍闻也察觉， 真糟糕！我没有晕倒是难得的经验。

The most horrible thing - the needle !

At 11.33am, I can now proudly declare myself MUMMY. I give birth to a 2.72 kg boy. The nurse asked Shao Wen to cut his son's cord. Better not to expose my baby boy nudity picture on the web, we decided to keep that photo to ourselves.

Baby is here

What daddy do at Sunday Evening ?

For those wonder what Shao Wen do on the Sunday evening before I go to hospital to give birth to our baby the next morning - he fixes the car seat on our car. Our child birth education mid wife told us that mother also need to learn on how to fix the car seat. In case daddy not around, mummy need to know how to transfer the seat and secure it firmly.

My very own Laksa

Since mum is here, I have been so long want to taste home made Laksa. Laksa that is available from restaurant is either too sweat, too sour or we would think twice of the fish and other ingredients such like balachan that used to make the laksa.



Finally, my very first time home made laksa is dream come true.






All the add-on vegetable is ready, the soup is ready, yummy !


在墨尔本不是找不到“辣沙”， 只不过就是怀念家里煮的味道。妈妈在我们这里， 就很自然叫妈妈煮“辣沙”。 我帮忙妈妈半个早上，最后我们可以享受美味的“辣沙”。 相比外面在卖的果然不同，有家的味道。 谢谢！ 妈妈。

Strawberry Fantasy

Mum so excited when she first time see such a big size strawberry. We bought this for AUD4.99 in a small box. Mum counts and she shouted :" Hei, we got 13 inside. With one size roughly equal 3-4 from those we got from Cameron Highland, I think I had one is enough!"


妈妈在菜市场看见红红的草莓就很意外 ：“啊哟！怎么会那么大粒？” 是的， 在这里我们去年也吃了那么大的草莓。 我们买了一盒回家，妈妈就迫不及待。 我拍下她拿着巨型草莓要给爸爸看， 就不如也放在这里。

看见草莓让我想起以前在怡保工作时， 要常常上金马仑工作。 会常常逛市场看有没有草莓。 买的时候小贩一定铁口说是甜的， 试吃也是甜的。 买回家就酸了。 而且是比较小粒没有我们在这里买的那么大。 很开心妈妈尝到这里大大的草莓。

This strawberries remind me when I was with Pfizer Ipoh, Cameron Highland is one of my sales area. Every trip when I service the doctors and pharmacy I will try to search around see if I could find strawberry for mum. Most of the time, the hawker will tells is guaranteed sweet, however when you brought that home to Ipoh, it has turned sour! May be weather is really the key to have sweat fruits, warm weather in Malaysia give you the pleassure to enjoy tropical fruits like banana, papaya and mango.. Oh. I missed papaya and mango.

Lemon Tree

Shaowen's biggest gardening achievement in Melbourne - our Lemon tree. We plant this Lemon one year ago when we first came to Melbourne. So far we only got one lemon from this tree.

在墨尔本一年以来， 最有满足感的是我们后院的柠檬。 种了一年才长了一粒柠檬。 看到隔壁的邻居栽在地上的柠檬树就很开心， 满满的整棵树都是柠檬。 伯伯还很好心地给过我们好多的柠檬。 可惜伯伯要搬了， 到时可能新邻居不要柠檬， 我们就没有柠檬供应了。

Lets take a look at our neighbour, Mr Steve's Lemon tree, what a big contrast. We are renting this unit now, we can not plant anything on the ground, otherwise, with Shaowen's love and care, I believe we will have more lemons from our lemon tree.
