Singapore #3

Just about a month and the half ago, Julius made his 3rd trip back to Singapore. Before that, he spent about a week in Bali. I remembered when he first saw us in the airport, I was greeted with a real grumpy baby. I was like, what happened to my nephew? Until they told me he was sick in Bali and had just woken up after the flight. Very soon, he settled in with the family and every single day, he is testing new limits. Unlike the last trips, he can now “baby talk”, walk and doesn’t cry that much anymore. I could spend an entire afternoon watching him do his stuff.

Last week, I ordered a Mac Mini for my parents and hooked up a webcam so that they can see/talk to my nephew. We finally did our first live chat with my sister and Julius last night. It was amazing. When the video came on, the joy on everyone’s faces is just priceless. Julius on the other hand, looked a little shocked at what’s happening. But very soon, he started recongizing faces… first to go was “kaku” (me), then “gong gong” (grandpa), “por por” (grandma). My dad was especially happy to see him.

Haven’t seen my parents so happy for a long time. It was, imo, the perfect Father’s Day present:)

Here are some images taken during his last trip.







Ouch! the family portrait.

We spent a good evening at the Singapore Flyer last night. All 3 generations of us:P Julius was so hyper and was running all over the capsule. He seemed to be so excited over the lights in the city. He’s such a happy kid. Simply love that smile. I got a feeling, I’ll be making a trip to Sydney some time this year.

 






Just for you

Hi Norman and Amy:) I read somewhere you miss her (how not to?).






hey dude, that’s my drink!:P

Going through some of Norman and Amy’s images and saw this one. I took this image out of “pettiness”. That WAS my drink… before he made it his:P Simple images with stories behind them. Not only am I writing someone else’s story, I am writing mine as well. I love my job.






walking out

He decided not to join the adults and go back to his world of iphone apps. He’s got attitude.






Julius update

Couple of days back, we receive a DVD from my sis. It’s a video compilation of my nephew. We spent a good half and hour watching the DVD together. While watching the video, I can’t help but notice the happiness that Julius was spreading within the family. It’s a different kind of happiness. Everyone was just glued to the TV. I haven’t seen my parents so happy for a long time. Even myself, I caught myself grinning ear to ear:)

I managed to get some photos from my sis. Here are the ones that I really like. This kid rocks!:D

Be a man!

 

That Russell Peters DVD is not helping with my ever increasing laugh lines. Last Saturday at Dennis and Anne’s wedding, I was talking to Dennis about his surprise performance during the dinner and he told me he’s really nervous. I just said to him, “be a man!”. That flower girl (I don’t know how old she is, probably about 4?), picked it up immediately and told him… “be… a man!!”. I laughed so hard, but felt really bad for the parents after that… I don’t know how many hours of rehab they’ll have to put her through to “unlearn” that:P

 

That’s the thing. A few years back when my friend had their first kid, they invited me for their baby’s 1st month party and that was it! She claimed that I’m too dangerous for kids when they start to learn how to speak, which I did not deny:P I think I am equally dangerous to people of all ages:P
