To Malaysia and Back...

Okay, lets start with the latest happenings (Much easier this way. I don't want to start digging into the recess of my memories this early in the morning).

We were recently on a trip to Malaysia to visit relatives and friends and also to pay my final respects to my beloved Grandmother who passed on (hopefully to Nirvana) a few days prior to our arriving in Malaysia. This trip also marks Da-Yong's first plane ride (courtesy of Japan Airlines) and our first experience with infant plane travels.

Prior to our trip, we were wincing everytime someone mentions babies and planes in the same sentence. We were really dreading the 18 hour journey home to Malaysia. We tried to prepare as best as we could but didn't find too many sources of information out there other than speaking to other parents who travelled with babies. We received advices from "Oh, don't worry, just go as per usual." to "Hmmm....secret ingredient, strong cough medicine, will knock out the baby for the entier journey!". We definitely didn't like the cough medicine approach, so opted for the lazy, just go as usual approach.

<---Oh uh..I can hear Da-Yong crying... gotta run and complete this entry later. In the meantime, enjoy some preliminary pictures of our trip.








Okay..I'm BACK!

Finally, after a LONG hiatus, I'm finally back...armed with more experience and 8 months worth of taking care of a baby... Actually, my wife's the expert here, I'm just the assistant.

Lots of things happened over the last 8 months, lots of new experiences, zero time for leisure and a truly back breaking 8 months, but I think we have finally gotten a handle on how to bring up a baby. From today onwards, I will restart my blogging attempts and slowly bring up pictures and experiences from my last 8 months. Without further ado, here we go! Again!
