The Fatherhood Club

Posted by: wong on: November 30, 2006

FINALLY, one of Aba’s peer friends (old classmates) is going to be a Father! The Fatherhood Club will have one more member (current roster: 1  -> Aba).  
Delivery expected around Chinese New Year. Then Aba can talk shop about children! Mwahaha!!

Window Shop

Went to Ikea to window shop. We got some ideas for the new house, and the kids got a lot of balloons. 

Ikea is not cheap!

KFC Carnival

Took May & the Twins to the KFC Carnival at Mid Valley today. May played the kiddie games there, scoring virtually ZERO in almost all – but they gave her the prizes* anyway! Hooray!

Five men rushed the dwarf, rusty swords raised. The dwarf remained motionless until the last moment. Then he swung his mighty hammer.
It was like swatting flies. With a single cleft, he dropped all five assailants. They fell to ground, screaming bloody murder.
At this display of martial prowess, the bandit chief demonstrated [...]

集体哺乳

Posted by: wong on: November 23, 2006

美国妇女埃米莉.吉列特10月因在乘坐飞机时哺乳孩子而被赶下飞机.这一遭遇引发’感同身受’的众多母亲的同情.美国30多个机场在21日分别遭遇“集体哺乳抗议”. 
美国每座机场的候机大厅内都聚集了数十名母亲, 集体哺乳孩子,以示对吉列特支持.她们手持写有“最好的飞机餐”,“人奶是最好的健康食品”之类的标语牌示威,并当众给孩子哺乳. 
美国达美航空公司日前将一名在飞机上哺乳的女乘客请下飞机.这名妈妈吉列特搭机飞往纽约时在座位上哺乳,空服员要求她用毯子遮住,但她拒绝,认为哺乳没必要遮遮掩掩,于是就被请下飞机. 
此举引起众多美国妈妈的不满,周二在Boston, Miami等十多个城市的机场同步进行连署抗议,要求社会大众正视母亲哺乳权. 参与抗议的妈妈们怀抱可爱的婴儿,有的在机场航空公司柜台前公开哺乳,为自己和小宝贝的权益站出来表达意见. 
31岁的切尔西.克拉克周二在佰灵顿机场喂她9个星期大的儿子时说:“这是为了抗议我们把乳房色情化的文化.不管在何时何地喂母乳都应该受到支持.婴儿不知道 ‘等一等’是什么意思.” 
这起事件也再度引起美国社会对妈妈在公开场合哺乳权的关切,目前美国37个州立法保护妈妈在公众场合哺乳是合法,但仍有13个州未有明文保障妇女的哺乳权.

Cat Search

Posted by: wong on: November 23, 2006

Some evenings, the 3 little fellas go looking for cats in the neighborhood. They follow the animal around and enjoy themselves tremendously (NO, the DON’T torture it!) They are curious and giggle a lot. Such are the small joys of childhood!!

Grown ups hardly have such simple pleasure – it makes watching them a delightful yet [...]

Runny Nose

It started with May, now all 3 little fellas are having runny noses!!

Happy Feet

Aba brought May to her 2nd movie  at the theatres (the 1st was CHICKEN LITTLE), but this time she sat through the whole show instead of screaming for Ama in ½ hour. 
She couldn’t understand why it was so dark (Ama told her it’s bad to watch T.V. in the dark) and the sound was also too [...]

Paper Airplanes

May’s favourite hobby – folding and flying paper planes with Aba (only). Not even Ama can replace Aba for this.

Innocent Shot

Posted by: wong on: November 16, 2006

The Twins were taken to the doctor for immunization jabs… but it turned out that Ama made a mistake (one month too early), so only Sarn was given ‘chicken pox jab’, which they missed (Jern already had the disease). 
Poor Sarn got jabbed because of Ama’s mistake. Ama originally didn’t want him to get the shot [...]
