Changing Diaper



Our Sweetie Pie can change diaper! Well almost, if she had a real baby to practise on.

Happy Birthday, Sweetie S!

Today my brave little niece turns 6!

S has a happy-go-lucky nature which makes her very popular in school. Don't be fooled by her sweeter-than-candy appearance cos she is a tough cookie who doesn't hesitate to stand up for her right.

Happy Birthday, sweetie S!!!

Here is wishing u good health, lots of joy and laughter in life.

Always smiling for u,

Midori's First Haircut

Mama Pig has been contemplating on cutting Lil Piglet's hair for a long time. Fearing that Midori might develop a lazy eye from the constant blocking of her right eye by her long bangs, Mama Pig put Midori on her high chair, bribed her with a piece of biscuit before snipping some 6 cm off Midori's bangs...... a tad too much.

Karaoke

Ever since Papa Pig bought Singstar, he has been practising his vocal almost everyday.
Papa Pig recruited our Golden Piglet to be his background singer.

Electric Toothbrush


Our Golden Pig tried brushing her teeth with her very first electric toothbrush today. Midori loves it! So much so that now she wants to brush her teeth more than twice a day.

Play Time!

Given the beautiful spring weather, Mama Pig and friends brought their offsprings to the playground today.

Midori loves to swing more than playing with the sand.

Shaki-ra


Midori loves to shake her butt. Our lil "Shaki-ra" has been rocking since the day she started sitting.

06 April 2009

Circus

The circus was in town! So 2 friends and I brought our kids to the circus.
We didn't watch the circus because the kids are just too young to sit through a 2-hour show. However we still had fun just watching and feeding the camels.

Happy Birthday, J!

My super-duper nephew turns 7 today!

J is not only a brilliant student, a creative artist and a budding sportsman, he is also an obedient grandson, a good nephew, a caring cousin, the best brother and a filial son.

Happy Birthday, dearest J!!!


Lots of Love,

Dr. Midori


Mama Pig bought her Golden Piglet a doctor set to help the latter overcome her dislike for her pediatrician. Since then our Sweetie Pie has been playing doctor to Mama Pig, Papa Pig, her dolls and stuffed toys.

Hopefully, this will inspire Midori to be a physician just like her auntie SW and uncle E.

Putting on Shoes

Mama Pig and Papa Pig are proud of the fact that our Golden Piglet has started wearing shoes on her own at 17-month old. What is more amazing is that it was self-taught, because Mama Pig and Papa Pig never taught Lil Piglet how to do it.

Midori doesn't always get them right though. Sometimes she walked around with her right shoe on her left foot and left shoe on right foot. So she still needs to work on it, just like how she's working on getting the right pronunciation on "shoe".

Goodies from BB


The 3 Lil Pigs were overjoyed to receive a surprise parcel from BB the other day. It was like some kind of telepathy between Mama Pig and BB for the latter sent us goodies which Mama Pig had craved for just 2 days before.

Thank U very much for thinking of us, BB!

Mama Pig also likes to thank YY for the interesting DVDs on HK soaps which will spice up her desperate housewife life in Germany.


Hugs & Kisses,

Midori Understands


Our Sweetie Pie knows all her stuffed toys by name. Midori understands much more than what she can say. The song "Words Don't Come Easy to Me" best describes her current progress.

Our Pumpkin loves the cute Mr. Donut Japanese commercials so much so that she likes to mimic the characters.

Happy Birthday, Dearest MM!

My precious elder brother always has a smile for everyone, even strangers and enemies. Some think he is stupid when in fact they are the real fools for not recognizing his magnanimity. How many of us will not lash back when insulted, scolded or beaten. My saint brother will just smile, say "omitofo, eat more tofu" and walk away. MM strongly believes in peaceful, non-retaliating act amid confrontations. Yes, we have a "Dalai Lama" in the family.
This is a tribute to my dearest brother, who has given me a new life and continues to encourage and inspire me to be a better person.Given that today is also Academy Awards 2009, the Oscar goes to..... (drum rolls).......MM for the following awards:

The best brother award
The best brother-in-law award
The best uncle award
The best nephew award
The best husband award
The best father award
The best son-in-law
The best broker award

Happy Birthday, my dearest angel!

Thank you for enriching our lives and for always being there for us. Here's wishing u,

good health and strength
genuine wealth and love
lots of smiles and laughter
peace of mind

Love always,

Doesn't our Sweetie Pie look like a boy? Ha ha ha.
Midori the mechanic test drove the car with much pride.

Bye Bye, Mr. Rat!

Today is the last day of the year of the Rat. Chinese all over the world celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve with their family by having reunion dinner. When the clock strikes 12 tonight, a new year of the Ox begins in the Chinese lunar calender.

Chinese Night

Our Chinese friend, A, invited Mama Pig and Golden Piglet to her place for dinner tonight. Our Japanese friend, Y, was also there with her cutie pie, A, aka Midori's best friend.
A made Jiaozhi and mini spring rolls and they were really yummy. It was the first time that Midori tasted these 2 Chinese specialties and our greedy Piglet totally loved them.
Since it was only 2 days to Chinese New Year, I made tangyuan, glutinous rice balls in syrup, for dessert. The pink ones had peanut filling whereas the blue and green ones were just plain sticky rice balls.
In my family, we always make colorful tangyuan. I have fond childhood memories of me and my younger brother happily helping our mom make colorful tangyuan in all sorts of colors and shapes, much to our mom's frustration and amusement. Oh, how I miss my family during this time of the year.

Thank u for having us over for dinner, A!

Cheers,

Mama Pig & Golden Piglet

Hello, Dell!

Oink! Oink! Oink! Mama Pig got a brand new notebook!!!
Papa Pig bought Mama Pig a green Dell Inspiron after her old Acer died. Yeah, now Mama Pig can googletalk with Midori's dearest MM99 again!

Thank U, Papa Pig!

Love,

Mama Pig

Oh My Darling, Clementine!

Papa Pig came back from work today and saw our Golden Piglet happily peeling and eating a clementine while Mama Pig was napping on the couch. Papa Pig and Mama Pig were so amused at the sight, but our lil' greedy Piglet ignored us and carried on eating.

Guess, Midori was in Chinese New Year spirits cos clementines are the closest fruit to mandarin oranges here in Germany.

Historic US Presidential Inauguration

Today is a historical day in the American history. It is the first time that an African American was sworn in as US president.

Barrack Hussein Obama makes history as the first African American president of the United States of America.
Obama is a charismatic statesman who has reignited hopes not just among Americans, but also many people around the world. Regardless of age, races or nationalities, many are now more hopeful amid such depressive economic times.
The 3 Lil' Pigs couldn't help but catch the Obamania which is spreading like wild fires. Even Midori's beloved grandma in Indonesia is both glad and relief now that President Obama takes office. So of course, Mama Pig and Papa Pig had to make Midori witness history in the making and be part of it.

Yes, We Can!

My First Sled Ride!

It has stopped snowing for a couple of days now, but the temperature remains below zero so the snow is still everywhere, much to my delight.
We joined several of Stephan's colleagues for sledding on the 420 meter high Landeskrone hill here in Görlitz this afternoon.

It was Mama Pig's first time at sledding and I totally loved it!
The film below shows Papa Pig and Mama Pig on a sled.
Stephan freaked me out when he wanted to sled alone with Midori on the adult sled. I vetoed it because it was way too dangerous for our little Piglet.Too bad our Golden Piglet wasn't enjoying herself as much as Mama Pig and Papa Pig because her tiny hands and feet were freezing the sub-zero temperature and the harsh wind blowing on her cheeks made it worse. Thus we had to leave earlier despite the fun.

Mama Pig loves sledding so much so that she is thinking of buying a sled.

15 January 2009

Midori Walks!

Yipee! Our Sweetie Pie is finally walking on her own!

Mama Pig and Papa Pig were so thrilled when Golden Piglet started taking her first steps a week ago. Since then we have been encouraging her to walk more steps everyday and today she walked a couple of meters!

Go, Midori! Go!

Selamat Ulang Tahun, BB!

11.01 is a very special day for my family, because a stork delivered an angel to the Lee family some XX years ago. From that very day onwards, this lucky baby has brought our Papa and Mama lots of luck and continues to enrich everyone in the family with unconditional love, silly laughter and unwavering support even at her own expense. Yes, our precious BB has an enormous heart and a self-sacrificing nature.
BB is a filial daughter, the best any parent could wish for.
BB is a superb sister, the best any sibling could wish for.
BB is a precious sister-in-law, the best anyone could wish for.
BB is a great aunt, the best any nephew and niece could wish for.

We are blessed to be related to u, BB!

Happy Birthday, my dearest precious sister!!!

Here's wishing u lots of happiness, health, wealth, peace, and of course TRUE LOVE!

Hug & Kisses,
