BACK-DATED POST (MOTHER'S DAY)

I forgot to post these earlier. Its just a simple makan session (cooked by my dear mum, whom I told not to cook coz its mother's day, she should rest instead) at my sis place for Mother's Day. Sis bought a mago cake for mum (it didn't go well with the guys though, you know most guys & fruits, they don't get it). It was a change from the usual chocolate, that I always tend to buy, so its nice. Well, fruits are good for you ... so thats that!

I realised that though it was Mother's Day ... I didn't get any photos of my dear mum. Nor of the other mum's that were there that day ... duh! Shows how spacey I can get sometimes. To tell you the truth, I didn't really enjoy this Mother's Day coz I got extremely upset that hubby had to rush to work at 9.00am that Sunday morning. It was a Sunday ... for goodness sake!!! By the time he got home it was almost 5 pm. So guess who was in a foul mood! Ok ok, I know it wasn't his fault but I just couldn't help but be upet coz my so-called Mother's Day celebration went haywire. Isn't Mother's Day a day for rest & relaxation for the mother ... I guess not!

BACK-DATED POSTS (WEEKEND OUTING)

Just another weekend of back-dated posts. First batch of pics are breakfast time. This time there are some pics of me & Ryan. Nothing special bout that ... just that I don't really have a lot of photos with my boy. Usually its me behind the lens as I don't really like to have my photos taken these days.
The other batch of pics are of Ryan playing at the kids playground. He was having a lot of fun at the slides, so we indulged.

Blowing on the hot tea!

Cool enough for sonny boy!

Snuggling with Daddy!

Bye bear ... see you next time!

Looking at these pics, it seems like most of the photos are the same or duplicates but they really ain't. Each photo is different! I do tend to have the habit of snapping photos rather fast (manually, as my digicam multiple bursts need to be programmed). This is because I realised long ago that if I don't snap fast enough, I tend to miss out on a lot of beautiful shots. And because the subject matter is a squirmy & hyper-active 2 year old who cannot keep still for long or refuse to pose for longer than a nano second, I do what I can by snapping like a crazy woman. The results is soo many similar photos but I'm not complaining. One photo can be so very different than the next. Only by doing this do I get the gems of photos. I do tend to post most of the photos here because I thought, oh what the heck ... since the pics are already snapped, why not post them. I tried doing collages earlier when I just started the blog but I realised that the photos turn out very small, not much to see. I prefer to see individual pictures so I can "savour" each & every photo.
So that's my (rather lame) excuse on putting up the thousands of photos of Ryan. I never get bored of looking at them! I'm lucky that I have just 1 kid ... if I had two, well ... there'll be double of the thousands ... hehe!


BACK-DATED POSTS (RANDOM PICS)

Some pics to upload. As usual we are on our weekly outings, this time at Marine Parade - at the hawker centre, walking across an SCV booth which had Thomas The Train cut-outs & lastly having tea (& toast bread) at Ya kun. Simple day!

So cute!

I'm getting v-e-r-y sleepy now ...

Hey! Daddy ... why did you wake me up?

OK, we can pose now Daddy ... now that I'm wide awake!

Peeka-boo Mama!

I'm right here!

OK, one more shot of Thomas, before we go!

There's something in your hair.

Acting very shy.
