welcome, baby Marcus~ :D :D

my dearest nephew was born on 22 June!!!

nicknamed 'tiger' since he was still in his beautiful mommy's tummy, the name stuck and i think it'll forever be his nickname (whether he likes that or not)... and his full name, or even more so, his Chinese name, will be used in full by us when we 1. want his attention; 2. most likely are scolding him xD

however, no matter what name we use to call you, we love you!!!!

i would LOVE to write in detail everything about his birth, but i'm much happier to just summarise and say: i'm glad mommy and baby are doing super well and i am so thankful and feel so blessed by the Lord :D

auntie is also super tired :(
not much sleep the whole week (and the days before), waking up early and helping out as much as i can... although i took days off, i think i'm much more tired than i would be if i was at work XD however, it's soso so so so so so x 1000000000000000000 infinity, worth it when you stare into his lovely little face and watch as his little lips twitch as if hes in some happy dream world :3

and most importantly, describing it is difficult.. showing the photos of him for the first week of his birth would do a better job..

after his first bath (literally FIRST, as this photo is taken hours after his birth):

second day :D
first day back home! :D
first bath! :Heart:: (he loves taking baths)
one of the first few times i saw him open his eyes a bit wider:


current mood: love love love my dearest nephew~

8 more days.. :D

lots of upcoming things.. so excited ~ XD

1. so excited.. first of all: 8 more days till i'm officially an "Aunt". XD can't wait! can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. this saturday i'm going to watch Jang Geun Seuk's mini fan's meeting/concert... xD i saw an advertisement for it awhile back and was surprised i could still get decent seats.. so me and Ms. Snow will be goign (since fishy said he will never go with me since this is not hyde, gackt or laruku type.. this type of show is purely for fangirls like me haha...)

3. just booked tickets to see Cyril the street magician XD excited because i loveee magic shows, and i find ppl who can trick people with sleight of hand are pretty amazing (being a slow person and not very fast at doing these things :P).. can't wait~

4. i pierced my ears again! after 10 years since my last piercing (man i'm getting older :( 10 years ago haha...), i finally found the chance to pierce my cartilage again, as i dislike even number of piercings and have always wanted odd number... so basically now, i have two on the bottom, one on the cartilage (upper part of ear) for my left ear, and three on the bottom, (new) two on the cartilage (upper part of ear) for my right ear~

a total of eight holes, but instead of even number on both sides, i went with 3-5 haha XD surprisingly, this time hurt less than my first piercing did.. maybe done well/better?! (earrings are mismatched as I was lazy this morning hahah.. and grabbed whatever i saw XD) i chose the smallest earring they had so it would be less noticeable :P

5. saw jachy again on saturday!! :D hadn't seen him since .. maybe 4-5 years ago?! but this time was much more brief, for 40 mins as i had a yoga class after and he had to fly in the afternoon back to canada! i hope he stays for longer next time..will scan "evidence" that we met soon :D

6. got some nice gifts :D one of them is put on my desk at work and i loveeee it~ so adorable:

i chose it with fishy and he bought this, as well 'plaque' that's quite similar.. i first saw it in my sister's place and liked it so much fishy got me one too! :D i will to put in my room for now, and in my future home (whenever that is haha)..

this is currently at my desk at work... i dunno how long i'll change the date, but i LOVE the ark.. so so so cute!


and a gift from my friend.. thanks my dear! the famous 'pig rabbit' (please excuse the things on my desk... i 'stole' a photo using my iphone =_=; and that windows book that props my monitor up is now changed to something less.. "flashy". XD


she's currently also on my desk at work..xD

current mood: thankful and excited!

success~

A little something i read:

"To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is the meaning of success."
