Trip to Esplanade & Swimming trip to Jurong East Swimming Complex

Hi All,

Looks at me, happily dragging my mum along Esplanade....










And here's one that we went swimming with Uncle Melvin & Aunt Elaine together with their twin daughters Elaina and Elvina....

My first Love?

Guess what.... I met this gorgeous girl at VivoCity recently... She's real cute.... You can see the pictures below...


Girl - Hi, I'm Lisa.

Issac - Hello there, I'm Issac... You are totally wet!!! What have you been doing?

Girl - I've play playing around the water feature....













Girl - You look so adorable, can I give you a hug?


Issac - Sure......

At the meantime, the boyfriend got jealous and came over......

Boy - HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?













Boy - Hey, don't you dare touch her

Girl - Don't worry Issac, I'm choosing you..... ignore him...

Issac - Lisa, you have something on your chest..... what's that......(censored!!!)





















Girl - Issac, I've got to go, give me your number and I shall contact. We can meet up for coffee or movie... Heard the Slumdog Millionaires is a pretty good movie.


Issac - So early... ok, you give me a ring, make sure it's during daytime Mon to Fri... that's when my parents are not at home..... See you!!!!

Fun at Forum

Hi All,

It's been a pretty long time since I've uploaded any of my loveable pictures..... thousand apologies for that.... U see, my daddy and mummy are pretty "lazy", oopsss, it's "busy" (don't want to get spank for that).......

Here i am playing in a playpen with lots of colorful balls.....

Redang Heaven....

Hi Uncles/Aunts,

We just came back from my trip to Redang Island in Malaysia. It has beautiful beaches, with lots of fishes and nice weather.... the buffet spread was good and my parents enjoyed themselves with the food while I watched them...

The sandy beaches are white and fine.... the sea is clear and we can see up to more than 30 feets deep..... It's like heaven!!!

Here I am in a life jacket with Uncle Kevin....













That's mummy bringing me swimming in the sea... the water is very clear and I can see fishes swimming around us.....



Some of my uncles/aunts/friends that went along for the trip.... All the frogmen.....












Sleeping after a long day at the beach... See how secure I am in my mummy's arms.....







This is my god brother, Tavis, god-sister, Adelle and my friend Charmaine, enjoying some time at the beach













The coolest daddy and the cutest baby.... ;-)

Last but not least..... a "family" photo shoot.....

We Had FUN, FUN, FUN !!!!

Daddy, Mummy & Issac

hu

Hi,

It's been a while cos I've been travelling.... Last week, I went to Penang with my daddy and mummy. My daddy was there for biz and mummy decides to take a break and bring me along.. hurray, it was quite a trip... taking the airplane for the first time. It was scary and i decide to sleep throughout the whole flight... ya, that's what i did.... the stewardess was kind enough to play with my and gave me some some toys... but I like the one that daddy bought for me ;-)



Today, my parents brought me shopping.... i tried on a few sunglasses, but guess they were too big for my face... I'll get one down when i grow up...

Tonight I attended a wedding dinner with my parents.... I hate those yam seng... so noisy... But I do like the uncles and aunts carrying me around... felt like KING... hehe. Maybe I should maintain my figure and stay chubby, so that everyone will put their attention on me......

Till next time..... you take care ok?

Malaysia General Election....

Hi All Voters....

Yes, it's been a while since you last since me.... I'm not in exile, but has been training my first speech for the Malaysia Election... You may not have noticed me vying for the seat in Selangor which was eventually won by the PKR party....

Nevertheless, here's my rally speech....... Pls enjoy..... Till the next election!!! Take Care... Issac

23 days old....

How times fly..... I'm already 23 days old.... yes, it's days not years!!!! All the past few days I've been torturing my father, mother and the confinement lady... yes, I've been trying to adjust to this world and testing what works for me... haha, you guess it.... crying.... I just need to cry, cry, cry, cry and cry.... everyone will jump to my rescue, even if daddy ignore me ;-)

Next Sat will be my 1 month old and I've invited a lot of aunts and uncles to my party in appreciation of their generous gifts and wishes... I'll be wearing new clothings!!! Hopefully everyone will enjoy the event. Oh yah, my daddy has even engaged a performer to do some magic and twist some balloons.... just to keep the kids entertained!!

Too bad, aunt kim will not be able to join us... she had taken care of me really well, waking up in the middle of the night to carry me to sleep... I thought it's day time.... still have to adjust to the time... how many hours are there in a day?

Today daddy gave me a bath for the first time... it's been aunt kim that's been doing it..... it's kind of uncomfortable coz he is quite clumsy... hopefully he'll get better...




Will update again next week after my party, hopefully I can post some beautiful pictures by then.... cya!!!

Issac's first few days in Mother Earth!!!

Hi All Uncles/Aunts,

I'm well but daddy and mummy are not feeding me well.... that's why I kept crying and crying till I almost lost my voice...

But I should thank daddy and mummy for taking a lot of nice photos of me ;-)

Till next time when I have more photos... See Ya!!!

Let me wish everyone a healthy and prosperous 2008....

Issac Goh...

"I'll update everyone on each step of my growing up", Issac. Good nite!

3kg Round Baby

The last scan was a surprise.... baby has grew to 3kg from 2.6kg a week ago... yah that's just an estimate...

Remember a few weeks ago, he was "SLIM" but the last scan he's round ;) That's a good sign that he's growing.... Jocelyn has been complaining that her tummy has grown and she's just like Humpty Dumpty... haha!!!!

Last night I actually saw his feet running through her tummy and I was trying to catch it with my hands.... Was so excited.... This boy is really playful... But when I went to get my camera to take a video of the movement, he decides to stay still... :(

We are really looking forward to holding him in our arms....

Happy Issac?!

Doc thinks that bb looks happy ah. Coz' his mouth appear to be smiling. What do you think?
He looks very chubby to me though... hehe
See the cheeks?

Remembered that he has quite a nice pointy nose bridge.

But, can't quite see it in the picture nowadays.

It was also on this day we saw him putting his 1 feet beside one of his hands. Don't ask me how he managed this feat. I'm clueless. Wonder if he'll continue to do it when he's out. If he does, time for proper yoga classes! hehe...

Also saw him sucking his fingers. Greedy Issac? Hmm...

Skinny?

Just had another visit to the gynae last Sat..... Baby's doing fine but the scan showed that he's not putting enough in his body.... Doc commented that the head size and leg length are European size... Hmm, think about it, he didn't measure them, how will he know??? In the end, my lucky wife got 4 days MC to rest at home, that's the beauty of being pregnant hor!!!!

So now, 4 days at home with my mum and the maid... not sure what kind of havoc will happen this week. Hopefully the house is peaceful while I'm away....

Till the next visit this Sat.... See Ya!!!

Superstition during pregnancy

Yah, the title says it all................... believe it or not!!!

We have our fair shares of superstition from my mum and friends, but are they fact or fiction? Truth or Coincidence? No one can tell... as the saying goes, be safe than be sorry. Therefore, these will always linger around and more will be added, because everyone will want a healthy child and a safe delivery to both mum and baby...

Hmm, what should I do to the 37" LCD that I just bought, the computer table and the sofa that will be coming soon.... Guess I have to wait till after baby's 1st month before anything can be done.... But what a waste right? So I'm going to change my TV (without mounting) and fix up the computer table, the mounting of the LCD TV and the delivery of the sofa will wait till after baby's 1st month. ;)

By the way, did anyone tell you that you should not move anything in the house? Then how are we supposed to prepare the baby's room? Tsk tsk.....

Dato S C Chew - Give it a miss

It's the most stuck up gynae I've come across..... And all because of the front desk...

I think the doc is ok, but the front desk, they sucks......

This is how it happens........

We were recommended by our good friend to her gynae (S C Chew). We knew it's not going to be cheap but decide to go ahead..... We were then referred to another doctor to look into some problem my wife is facing..... And finally she managed to conceive.... That's a happy news indeed!!! We were referred back to S C Chew as this doctor does not do delivery. OK, fine....

When we got back to S C Chew, we were very happy and knowing from others regarding "package" We decided to check with them.... Again and again, the gynae asked us to check with the front desk, apparently he leaves it to them..... That's where the problem started. We were told again and again that the package can only start after the blood test done from week 28 onwards..... OK we wait. Nearer that date, we checked with the front desk again and was told next visit, without any instruction.... Next visit, as Joc didn't fast, we were told that she can't do the blood test and was pushed again to the next visit..... Next visit came and we managed to get the blood test done, BUT................. we were told that the package can only start after the test result is out....... And we wait again..... Next visit, doc didn't even go thru the test result with us.... So I complain BIG time lah..... Know what, the front desk got mad that we complained and said that they entertained mainly foreigner (they earn more from them) and that there is a long long queue.... we can switch gynae if we want to...... @ 32 weeks, we do have a choice but for safety of the baby and mother, we decided to go with S C Chew...... And know what..... They mentioned that we pay now and the next visit onwards, the package will start..... that is I still have to pay for the last visit, although technically, we're on the package..... CRAP FULL OF CRAP...!!!!!!

We've decided not to recommend anyone to them and this is going to be the last time we will see them... They are so high-handed and proud that they have a long waiting list.....

Just to add on, they are also inflexible with the payment... only accept CASH!!!!! Once there's this family from Indonesian who got a refund from them, guess what, they were paid cheque.... As they are going back to Indonesian, they wanted at least a CASH Cheque so that they can immediately get the money and save the hassle of having to bank it in back in Indonesian and waiting for it to clear.... God knows how long that will take.....

So the next time you choose your gynae, do check carefully the details esp how the package works.... it's not cheap raising a child, and it's definitely not cheap during pregnancy as well!!!!

You make your own decision.......

Mad Mad Dad/Mum-to-be

Issac vs Gareth ???

It was fun the last few days thinking of a name for our little handsome prince.....

We were worried that the name will sound funny and together with my surname will make him a laughing stock in his life...... therefore we are so careful that the name doesn't sounds funny when u pronouce it in Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Mandarin, etc...... eg... Lampard, Dan.....

Finally I chose Issac versus Jocelyn's Gareth, which she likes it very much...... Still I think that Issac is a nice name.... it means "Laughter" or "Laughing One"

As for Gareth, it means "Gentle"

So what do you think?

Guess I'll still stick with Issac :P

52 days to delivery...

52 days... how time flies.... remembered it was the very first scan months back when we realized that a new being is coming to this world. Now, we are patiently waiting.....

What to expect? Will he be naughty? Mischievous? Clever? Cute? BIG? small? Tall? Short? It's anyone's guess.... But at least he didn't gave Jocelyn too much problem inside her, except performing some somersault ;)

We had a busy weekend getting things for him. Were really lost when we were looking around on what to buy and what brand is better. Luckily our little angel, Joslyn, came to our help and we really got quite a lot of stuffs to begin with. Guess new parents will always face this problem...

We were also happy for our good friend, Melvin and Elaine, on having twins... While buying my baby's stuffs, we realized the cost of having a child, so what about 2? Guess they will manage...

Names, names names.... what should we call our little charming? Any suggestions?

The countdown starts...

Time flies!

Bb's 32 weeks old already. At most, another 8 weeks to go.
Kind of hard to believe. Time to start the shopping too!

This scan's kind of interesting.
Doc didn't give the pic though... Bb's mouth is opened. Seems to be yawning away or something. And the hands move quite a lot.
Had a hard time trying to capture a good photo-profile of him though. His hands are blocking his face! But, we finally did have a photo-profile of him.. His face look chubby! But his head-size is above average though his stomach shows he's a bit thin.
Again, Doc, gave the same advice. Rest more!


After we left, Mac was saying... I should've pre-empt Bb to pose for the photo... I went... Eerrmm... I kind of "talked" to him the nite b4. Asked him to wave & say "hello". But i guessed, i forgot the part of asking him to turn & pose for the photo..

Like real huh. Hehe...

My tummy's getting bigger. Always complain that the tummy's skin is tight. In fact, it always feel like it's going to "burst" after meals!
Mac's very happy with the tummy growth though. Each time he sees it grow, he give a silly smile... hee...

Just kenna nagged to go to bed. Zzzzzzz....

4th Sept 2007 (25 weeks)

Finally, here's the photo to Bb's scan...
Been busy, tired and lazy! hah!

Bb's 25 weeks now.




Btw, it's also Mac's birthday... See.. Bb did an unusual pose as Daddy's Bday present.. Hehe...
Wonder if I have been doing too much Yoga... Bb's also practicing!
Couldn't get a good photo of him. It's blocked by his legs :?

But... hmm... Doc says.. Bb is growing ok. But he 's thinner compared to last time. Asked me to rest more. Luckily didn't suggest me to eat more.. haha...
Then again, it's kind of tough trying to sleep with a weight permanently stuck on the tummy! Turning from side-to-side requires conscious effort. And... if I lie a bit too much onto the side of my tummy, Bb will remind me he's there! I get tickled or kicked.

How's baby growing????

Yes, we've been missing for a long while.... Coz we've been busy. Just changed my job and got to relax a while before I start work. Yah, bebe, you better behave when you come out, daddy is changing job to get you better quality milk powder, diapers, baby cot, stroller, bath tub, milk bottles, etc.........

We did a scan on 4 Sep and yes, yes, we are too lazy to scan the picture.... but we'll do it this week so that you can see for yourself what bebe is doing inside Joce. We actually saw bebe doing a diving posed... those that divers do when jumping off the diving board with the legs straighten....

Bebe is european size.. but somehow Joce tummy is not up to standard leh. Maybe there is lots of space inside her for bebe to hide ;)

Shall sign off before my boss walk past...... stay tune for the images to be uploaded... adios!

The Result....

The result is finally out!
Did a detailed scan.. Verdict..
We've a European-sized baby.. AND.. a very contented & well-fed bb. Wonder what have I been feeding it. Boy or girl.. hee... Read on...

See.. a contented & sleeping baby..
Wasn't moving much when Doc was doing the scan. Tat was about 1 hr after breakfast...



*psst* A trait of the father. Take a nap after meal.. hehehe...


Hmmm.... What do u think of this?!?
The head & stomach is the same size!
Can u imagine that?
Doc's advice.. Don't eat too much.. Hmm.. I didn't even eat much to begin with. Who'll have thot the bb got such good appetite huh!


And! Finally.. The frequently asked question.. hehe...
Boy or girl....

I don't quite understand the picture. But... The doc confirmed it..

It's a BOY!






Got any suggestions for names?????
