It's Jayden's first birthday today

New Life Childcare

Daddy and Mommy definitely need a break! They just came back from Cebu!

Daddy and Mommy had some time lunching at Portsdown rd while Isaac and Joseph were napping in the car.....

Getting ready to go to school

Isaac, the big brother

Isaac's gor gor has somehow lived up to his name as the first born...dai gor of the family.

tada......

Here comes the big brother of the Gan family

Children's day at the Sentosa, Palawan beach

Isaac was indeed an explorer, having walked a lot on his own. He was not afraid at all when he went against the crowd...whereas for Joseph, he was most of the time in his daddy's arms, simply refusing to walk independantly.

More new friends..

Look @ that....Guess who's the rose among the thorns?

On our way to Grand Aunt's place(Grandma's cousin)

Thomas and Friends

Hmmm..I'm wondering why Thomas doesn't make any music today? Guess I've got to ask Daddy and Mommy to use a new set of batteries already? So, in the meantime, we shall make do with a muted, but mobile Thomas....

1st Service

We met Uncle Gilbert and Auntie June in church and decided to take a shot with them. May the LORD bless them with a pair of twin gal and boy, so that we can have more playmates in CHRIST to play with....;-)

"I was so exhausted that I fell asleep straight away after milk", spoke Isaac before he fell into deep sleep

"No, i wouldn't wana sleep until I wipe off the last piece of waffle that daddy and mommy are eating."thought Joseph

Big boys roaming around at Changi Airport

Adventure at Southridge

We were not at Kiersten party!!!!..

We were so jealous coz mommy was carrying bb Kiersten in her arms

we are back in action!

I'm back after taking a break for 4 long mths, totally off from my blog...and am coming back in action...haha!!
I just started on my work from home scheme, about 3 mths ago and from the day i was at home till today, i realise I hardly have time for Noelle Chua...(nope I'm not complaining, but it's a fact *wink*)...so I'm making plans to set aside some time for myself and JESUS...yea...I really miss those moments..
my bb signed me up for keyboard classes which I'm attending on a weekly basis for 12 lessons and I realise music is my best mode of communication with the LORD. I'll sing to the LORD and worship HIM..whenever i'm stressed out by the kids or misunderstandings with my mom in the care of the babies..
Alright, so much about mommy(me) and now...Isaac and Joseph..tada
I've taken quite a bit of pics but haven't had the time to upload them, or I would say it's plain laziness...hahaha-nowadays bedtime is so precious to mommy and daddy...that makes them wana do nothing but sleeep.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Standing Twins

1st Year's birthday celebration at the zoo.

All of us were waiting expectantly for the rain to stop while the boys went into slumberland

One year old babies

The boys have finally turned 1 year...on the 31st of March 2008.....Time really flies and many ppl have commented that they're real handsome babies...

I'm sure they'll grow up to be really suave...

At the pool

Seems like the same boy is appearing in all the 3 pictures ya

Swimmers in the making

Wana guess who's the cheeky one.....? hehe

and who's the dai gor one...

Guess who's the rapper...."yo man" yaya....and who's the sweet smiling guy???

Isaac(Ishak) and Joseph(Yusof) with their beloved Auntie Eveline

Wow it's amazing how much the boys have grown. I'm even startled as their own mommy to see them developing by leaps and bounds each day.
"Aren't their legs long hehe?" They are both standing at approximately 80 cm now...not sure if this height is considered tall for 9 mths' old babies.
Auntie Eveline loves them to the fullest...and is godma to them

Adidas bag for the kids

Mommy finally settled with an adidas bag for the kids after taking into consideration several factors

1) Daddy thinks the yellow Mt Alvernia bag given by the hospital looks a bit childlandish on him...ahahha..like a primary school kid

2) Mommy thinks the orange bag looks like a "king-kong" bag and looks too humungous on Lusia(the Indonesian maid)...seems like she's carrying a huge rock..

3) Mommy decided that the Adidas bag can be carried by anyone..and she simply loves the design..(the latest Spring design)
