Mr Liow's Arrival

It's long overdue I know. But for posterity sake, please allow me to document Mr Lucas Liow's very own touch down on 18th July 2005.

My first sentence when we first met. You popped out of Mummy's tum, and I said "hello there....so that's how you look like."

Lotsa pictures, not many words.

Lucas' Day Out!

Papa and Mama brought Little Lucas out today. Actually it was time for a haircut and we decided to hang out proper, just the 3 of us.

First stop was some some over-priced kiddo hair styling salon at Forum, called Super Sams or something like that. We reached there a little too late and they wouldn't help Lucas cut his car. No harm, we found another salon in the same building and the lien pang mei did a super job, but still, Papa had to cut off an arm to pay for the bill. He was such a good 'un and didn't fidget at all!

Went to Toys r Us next, and he had a blast! We nearly bought the whole shop and qualified as VIPs in a single visit. Just to let you have a feel of what we bought, the list included an inflatable ball tent...FWAH!

Dinner was at Hard Rock Cafe when Mama and Papa decided to bring our son to an old watering hole of ours. The mac n cheese from the kiddo menu didn't go well with Lucas, and Mama ate it all...as usual. And as usual, we over ordered, but I got a taste of their ole' Pig Sandwich which was as good as I remembered it. BUT.....

I'm sad to report that the magic of HRC is almost gone. Gone are the days when Saturday nights saw mile long queues outside their doors. A handful of diners, some there to watch football, no queue, an all Philipino serving crew.

But we did get our serving of nostalgia, and Lucas fell asleep in HRC....just like Papa did, 16 years ago.

CONTRACTIONS!!!!

At about 12pm on 17th July 2006, a certain Mr Lucas Liow was finally ready to be popped out of the oven.

Ms Elvira "Trooper" Liow summoned for:
1) An Excel spreadsheet to for timing her contractions; &
2) A packet of chicken rice in preparation of the task ahead.

And off we went to Gleneagles......

Note from the pictures that it was obviously the 1st stage of labour.

A quick pose for the camera....

A little snack to keep energy levels up.

A pleasant update for mumsie........

And a peek at the notes before the examinations began
All with a smile of course
