On Joel's 13th month, he said his first word - STAR. ;)(other than mumbling his usual dadidadidadi, mamamama, bearbearbearbear...
He's still 10.5kg (+/- 500gms).

About Me
and it all began from here
Through my blog, i've become like an Ambassador of Shanghai to all my friends back home! This makes me really happy (though i only know like maybe 0.1% of Shanghai)! I'm sure they're also glad to know that i'm getting on well here! YES! I've come to love Shanghai! This coming from me - who was so prejudiced against everything chinese - u'll know that Shanghai is sooo good! ;D
Blogging is new to me. It's not what my generation/friends would do. The only reason why i got down to it is to kill time since we've relocated from sunny Singapore to China, Shanghai. Most of the time, i duno what i can write about...so i just blabber about stuff...any stuff... I thought that it'll be totallly silly, BUT truth is, blogging can be quite addictive! And the thing is, i dun even know if anyone's reading it at all! Perhaps it's just me writing & me reading. So, do drop me a message that shouts 'I WAS HERE!' Kekee... And thanx - if u r reading this! ;) jo
AND NOW, we have a new addition into our lives - our little Elvis Junior - Joel Chau Ze. (Born on 24 Dec 2007) This blog will begin to be filled with lots of lovely pictures of him - starting from his ultrasound scans. I'm sure we make a wonderful family.
Just as life is always full of surprises, Mommy Jo is pregnant again! Our second baby will arrive when Joel turns 3 years old (34 months to be exact).
We named out little girl, Emma Chau Xu. She was born on 15 Oct 2010.
We are BETTER TOGETHER.

Congrats jo, bryan still mumbling and so far his clear word only "apa" which mean "what?" but i dont take it as first word since, most of babies that i know also say that word. hahahaha,.. I hope that he can be a bright star in your family ;)
btw...GONG XI FA CAI!! :) have a blessed and wonderful CNY..enjoy ur holiday there *wink*
Hi Anne,
After our trip back to Spore, we realized that our friends' babies who grew up in families with more people actually learn more things & faster (much faster than Joel) - the waving hellos & goodbyes etc etc...
They just seemed a lot more savvy than Joel even though they may be younger! This worries me a little coz it's basically only me here. And now with the Ahyi (who is from the countryside), i dont know what things he will pick up from her. :(
