ivan~! :)

meet ivan~ my nephew (cousin's son)~! isn't he gorgeous? :)

Recently came back from visiting my mom's hometown... and whoa~ there is a BABY BOOM there! it's as if all my cousins are getting married and raising a family. :) There wasn't a moment of silence (or peace) in the house as there were 7 cheeky (yet adorable!) children running around and 3 bawling babies! :)

7 cheeky toddlers + 3 crying babies = havoc. :)

i experienced my nephews and nieces licking my camera, trying to pull my pants down (don't ask me who taught them that), asking me to play computer games with them, throwing balls at me, dragging me to jump on the bed with them, sitting me down to teach them piano & even pointing to huge cookie tin cans while looking at me with their beady eyes that you just can't resist. :) *grins* All that made me think of how I was as a little child. :) I'm sure i was like them... perhaps you may say naughty... but i kinda like them naughty and cheeky... cause that means they are active~ and bursting with energy~! :)

It's only with them that I speak my terrible cantonese without hesistation and embarassment. :) They are so accepting of all my mistakes and don't smirk when i say something wrongly. :)

They mimic what we do and at the same time, there is so much to learn from them... their childlike innocence, simplicity & cheerfulness~! :) They have the sweetest smiles too~! :)
