Hair cut

July 25, 2009 · 2 Comments

Dearest Gabriel,

Do you know since you were a baby, you were really afraid to have a haircut? You would struggle and cry very loudly, everyone in the barber shop would look at you. We seldom bring you to the barber shop because mummy really couldn’t stand seeing you cry. Whenever you need to cut hair, my first question to the barber was, “Can you cut fast?” I expect them to finish the task within 5-10 minutes. The barber will be stress too when I “throw” this question to them. Some even rejected the business and admited they were slow. There was one barber kept dropping the shaver because she panic. Mummy and papa were standing there giving her pressure :)

There was once, you stayed in Ipoh Po Po house, Ah Po took the initiative to cut your hair. Her idea was to cut when you were asleep. However halfway through the cut, you woke up! So you hair was half cut and half not cut. When Ah Po brought you for a walk, neighbours would ask is it a new hair style. Hahaha!
We also got an idea, that was to let you have a lollipop while cutting the hair. It worked! However, lots of hair would stick to the lollipop. We couldn’t find water to wash it and we don’t want you to cry, so papa would help to lick the lollipop clean… Pity papa!

And the hair cut crying had stopped when you reached 2 years old. We felt so relieved when you have overcome the fear!

You had a new hair cut yesterday. This was your look!

Genting vs KL Trip 2009

July 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Dear Gabriel,
We went to Genting Highlands in July 2009. This was your first trip to Genting. We went with Yeong2, New Zealand yiyi, Gung2, Po2, suk gung, suk po, yiyi and yi chong. You enjoyed yourself a lot in Genting First World Indoor Theme Park and the hotel stay. We had bought a family package (NZ yiyi, Yeong 2, you and me) playing unlimited games in the indoor theme park. You had told mummy few times,” Mummy, I like here so much” and when we were leaving Genting, you were so sad because you like to stay in hotel so much and wanted to go back : )

After the Genting trip, we stayed at Kiu Kiu’s apartment for 2 days. We went to National Science Centre, Damansara. You liked the place very much too as there were many things to explore. We had a fun time there.

On the last day when we wanted to come back to Penang, you held Yeong 2 hand, don’t want to let go and wanted him to follow papa car. Then on the way back, you kept saying you were very sad. Ya…mummy know you were sad as holiday has ended. However we will try our best to bring you there again when we have time or holiday.
