My Daddy Graduated
My daddy finally graduated from the Trinity Theological College (TTC) on Saturday (May 10)... The graduation was held at Wesley Methodist Church. It was interesting to see my daddy, his classmates and his teachers walking into the santuary with robes. Some of their robes were more colorful than the others.
After the pastor shared the Word of God from the Bible, one-by-one, the names of the students were called... the principal then put the hood onto every one of them. We had to wait for quite a long time before my daddy's name was finally called.
My mommy told me that not many children get to see their daddy (or mommy) graduate. Although Brandon was also there, he was not paying attention. He was walking around and screaming occasionally until mommy had to bring him out of the sanctuary.
Just The Family Songs
Here's a picture with Grandpa, Grandma, Gu-Ma, Gu-Chay, Uncle Steve and my cousins, Nigel (standing next to me) & Nicholas 
Me and my Gu-Ma (Daddy's elder sister)
I wonder what Brandon is starring at...Gu-chay (daddy's kid sister) or her mouth...?? Happy 1st Birthday, Brandon!!
Brandon celebrated his first birthday today. Looking at the picture, you'd think Ashley is the one celebrating her birthday.
May 5 is Tango-no-Sekku, or the Boy’s Festival - this is to honor the healthy growth and development of the young boys in the family. Jiji & Baba (Grandpa and Grandma) sent Brandon a Koinobori, carp-shaped wind socks from Japan.In Japan, these koi are hoisted up on long bamboo poles and, along with pretty ribbons, are mounted up on the rooftops.
Girls are not left out! Girl’s get their own day on March 3rd, called Hina Matsuri, where families display traditional Hina Dolls. Here's a picture of Ashley taken on March 3rd - the doll display behind Ashley is a miniature version of this actual doll display.
Just had to include this pix inBrandon Walks Before He's One

Brandon with Shrek's ears
Brandon had a hair-cut recently. This time, mommy didn't have to carry him. Nonetheless, it took 4 persons to give him a haircut - 3 to distract him (mommy, daddy and a hairdresser), and one to trim his hair. At The Park
Ashley & mommy "working out" together
Managed to capture this of Brandon crying... don't remember why he cried. 
At the park just behind our apartmentWhat's So Funny...?
Was having dinner - it was something that Ashley did that made Brandon laugh. So, what did Ashely do - continued to make him laugh, of course!
Happy New Year...!!
"What's this..." - this is Brandon's 1st "ang pow" from daddy & mommy. Happy 1st Chinese New Year, Brandon...!!
Mommy getting pampered - having her manicure and pedicure done right in the comfort of her own living room just before Chinese New Year. Well, it didn't last long - her nicely painted sculptured nails started to peel the very next day - thanks to cooking, house chores and milk bottle washing. Chinese New Year Reunion Pix
Jie-Jie (elder sister) just had to have her picture taken with her adorable kid brother
Went to "Kam Boat" at Shaw Center for our Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner - doing the "lo-hei" or "Yu-Sheng". The higher the toss, the better it is..."年年有余! (Let there be surplus year after year!) 捞啊！捞啊!发啊！发啊! (Toss ah! Prosper ah!) 捞起运气, 捞起财气，捞起福气, 春节捞起风生水起 (Toss to good luck, Toss to wealth, Toss to good fortune, Toss to good returns this Spring Festival!)"
Susan, if you are reading this and wants to know what our "Yu Sheng" salad looks like, here it is... and there's actually meaning behind its ingredients.
Here, the waiter was helping to put the "Yu-Sheng" together. As he emptied the ingredients into the salad, he'd call out the meaning of that particular ingredients.

It's Christmas Morning... finally, Ashley gets to unwrap ALL her Christmas gifts. And for the first time, Brandon joins her.
Brandon enjoying one of his gifts.
Enjoying a meal with some of the students from the Republic Poly on Christmas Eve.
Daddy was away on a Youth Leader Equipping Retreat at Telunas Beach located in one of the Riau Islands (Indonesia) - an excellent place to go to get away to. They have to take a 45 minutes ferry ride from Harbor Front to Batam. Then, it was a 90 minutes boat ride to Telunas Beach. They were all greeted with warm smiles, icy cold towel and a welcome drink. Thought they stayed at bunk houses on stilts, it was clean and even had proper shower facilities. Imagine having the whole stretch of clean white beach all to yourself... and needless to say, the food was excellent!! Daddy highly recommends Telunas Beach if you're going on a retreat or just to get away with your family. However, do go with a big group to 8 - 10 people or more to really have fun. Time To Update New Pix

Caught in the act - What a mess!
Friends from the Sylvanian Families (UK / Japan) having tea together. In US, it's called "Calicocritters" - anyway, besides High School Musical, this is what Ashley enjoys these days
