Merry Christmas

Merry belated Christmas everyone :-)

Yes, we did have our very, very little Christmas moment (the word 'celebration' is far too big to use!) at home. Dad bought a Christmas tree and mom's Taida friends helped decorating it. Mom bought Changton a little Disney capsule-ball vending machine for Changton. Mom has to admit that this toy is mom's childhood dream! She wanted to own one when she was little. When she saw this little vending machine, she knew she has to get it for Changton. Mom got it long before Christmas, she had been waiting impatiently for the occasion to give to Changton.

Finally, it's Boxing day. Lazy to warp the gift, mom placed the whole bag beside our little Christmas tree, wanting Changton to spot it himself. Not a good idea, Changton was more interested in the blink blink Christmas lighting and ornaments! Great!!

Ten minutes had gone and Changton still played with the little Christmas ornament bell, great!!!

Finally, someone spot the toy and asking mom to take it out from the bag!

One hand on the toy, another still held tight on the Christmas bell. Ah...not a good sign. Mom's excitement started to fad....

Yes, finally...both hands on the toy!

Merry Christmas Changton! Mom was so happy and proud that you are able to walk, talk, and play the toy on this Christmas.

Again, where's the updates?

This month mom has started her Mandarin class at Taida. Mom loves going to class but the whole Mandarin thing really takes a big chunk of her time away for her poor Changton and almost definitely from updating the block! Each day mom needs to spare at least 8 hrs or so for her Mandarin endeavor! 3 hrs for class, 2 hrs on the road and other extra hours for homework and study. So basically, she is a full-time student!!

As a result, ones might notice that Changton's block has been more of a Hallmark block recently, since most of our lovely people born on November - December. Though mom has no time for updating the blog, she makes sure that Changton, our little messenger, delivers birthday wishes for our love ones ;-)

Well, now that we have only 2 days left for recapping what has been happened to Changton's life during the past month, let's get on with it, shall we?

Happy Birthday Grandpa: Khun Ta Kai

Today is December 21! It's my beloved grandpa's birthday! Happy birthday my dear grandpa:-) Too bad that I can't be with grandpa this year. Unlike last like last year, I helped grandpa blowing the candles.

Grandpa, although I can't be with you this year, I'm sure that you would be delight to know that I'm no longer an innocent baby! I'm much more mature now!! I'm old enough to deliver red roses to the ones I love.

And yes, the very first person to receive my red roses is my grandpa, Khun Ta Kai.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KHUN TA KAI. Changton, mom and dad wish Khun Ta a healthy body and mind so that Khun Ta could be in his best conscious during his monkhood's time. We love you very much and we are very proud of you.

Happy Birthday Pa Jeab

Hello Pa Jeab! This is the second time of my life that I can celebrate your birthday. If counting numbers this way, you are so young and fresh, just like me!

On Pa Jeab's BD last year I was in a dreamy and sleepy state so I didn't do much for you on your big day. Look, I have the proof! I was THAT sleepy last year!

This year is different though; I have gotten my mojo working!! So this year I'm going to do something groovy for my beloved auntie's birthday.

Here is a groovy birthday dance for Pa Jeab from Changton;-)

Ready?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PA JEAB!

PS. I hope Pa Jeab doesn't mind if I take this opportunity to wish Grandpa Bird, who also born in Dec 8, a happy birthday. Thank you "Bird Bird" (actually that's what I usually call him) for singing me songs and teaching me new dance moves everyday. See you in your next concert!!
