First Christmas in Penang

The picture above was taken during Christmas 2006. Taken in church after attending the midnight mass on Christmas eve. Mummy & Daddy decided not to travel down to Malacca as we worry that it might be stressful for you since that you are still small.

You were pretty tired during the mass which you slept. But you woke up in the end and then was busy looking around the church as it was full of people who attended the mass that night.

Baptism Day

When you were 2 months old, you were baptized in the Holy Spirit Church. On that very day, you were sound asleep in Mummy's arm until the moment your forehead was touched by the holy water. I guess the water actually gave you a chill and it eventually woke you up from your slumber.


Over here, you were baptized by Father Henry Rajoo while you were still in your deep slumber.

Day 1 At Home ...

Today is the first day back home after the first few days spent in the hospital. Mummy was still pretty tired after the caesarean section. You looked little yellowish due to jaundice. You got a couple of nurses' visits from the clinic near our home. They noticed the jaundice you had but confirmed that it was just a mild one. It went away after a few days.

Your maiden trip down south

After slightly more than a week of your full moon day, you took your maiden trip down south with Daddy & Mummy. That was for you to meet relatives down south in Malacca. It was mainly to meet all the uncles and aunts (maternal side). Everyone was very anxiously awaiting for your arrival.

Full Moon Day - 1 Month Old

This picture was taken on the full moon day for Aurelia. She was 1-month-old and mummy was getting out of the confinement period. Time really passed by fast from the day she was born when she was so little then. She has got some gifts and blessings from everyone around her.

Daddy was busy going around to distribute the full moon packages to friends and relatives. That was a trip around Penang island. I'm very particular on this full moon package thingy. Well, it's mainly for relatives. Colleagues in office and friends are standard with gift vouchers. But, for relatives, I always feel that this is more appropriate and feels more meaningful. Say whatever you want, but when it comes to this area, I still prefer the old school stuff.

Visitors from afar

When you like a couple of weeks old, you got visits from ah kong(maternal grandpa), ee ee(aunts), ge ge(cousin brother) & chie chies(cousin sisters). They came all the way from Ipoh, KL as well as Malacca to see you. Daddy managed to snap a couple of pictures they took with you.

The story begins ...

Aurelia was born to Anna & KT(that's me .. yeah, this blog is created by a daddy, ok!). She's our first child.

The very day was still very fresh in my mind. The morning we went to work as usual and then mummy got the 'sign' of delivery. We went to doctor and he confirmed that it's time. Later, we got home and took a rest, had lunch before mummy got admitted to the hospital.

Mummy had to endure more than 24 hours of labour pain before I finally decided to let her to go under the blade as I felt that she's just too weak to do a normal delivery as she always wanted. So, after a short while in the operation theater, Aurelia was born on the 07th of Oct, 2006. The picture above was taken after Aurelia was properly cleaned by the attending nurses. It's her little gesture of saying 'Hi' to the world.
