Happy Halloween!



Got the last bit and pieces done in the house last night and took a picture of it. Éimhear is not one bit scares of the Spider and Skeleton, she sat on the floor and clapping her hands all night to get the Spider moving, haa!

Gonna go down to my in-law's tonight with my nieces and nephew and of course with Éimhear as well. They are going to dress up as Cinderella, Belle, Withches and Dartvader. Will take some pictures since this is the 1st time my nieces Rachel and Angel celebrate their 1st Halloween!

Bye Mum and See You Next Year!!

Dropped mummy off to the airport this evening. It was quite hard to leave mummy there on her own, we gave mummy a hug and kiss to say good bye it's hard to hold back the tears at the same time!! I think she is now on the flight to K.L. now and she probably fast asleep and start to snore, ha...!!

At least we gonna see mummy and daddy in about 3 months time and we already booked our ticket to Rome and Paris with them. It's gonna be their 1st Europe tour apart from Ireland! Really can't wait!

Disappointment......!!

I was so looking forward to get the newspaper today! The minute I looked at the paper, my face just dropped as Éimhear is not in the runner up of "Heinz Little Treasures 2005". I spent ages to try to get out of the mood, thanks Ted who cheered me up and telling me that Éimhear is actually one of the 40 cutest babies in Leinster! He is right, I shouldn't be upset over it.

Went to phoenix Park today with Ted, Éimhear, mummy, Amanda and Jane today. I always complaint about how cold and miserable the Autumn weather could be but surprisingly today was very mild and I actually enjoyed the whole evening.

Éimhear was walking on the grass for the 1st time, she was very nervous though! We brought some breads with us to feed the ducks, but Éimhear ended up finished them instead, so funny! She is at the stage of copying everything off you, like crossed your arm, thumbs up or tried to sing "Twinkle, twinkle little star...".

Éimhear First Few Steps!

We have been anxiously waiting for Éimhear to take her very first step!She did it eventually! She loves to be able to walk around with her cousins and run around with them...!! I was so excited eventhough she only did like 5 steps at a time...!! Need to encourage her more to move a few more steps when she is ready to have another go the next time!

Typical the one time he goes out he missed her first few steps but at least he's seen her first step the night before! Luckily I have this precious moment recorded for him!

Home Sweet Home!

Have been busy unpacked my luggages, the weather wasn't too bad at all for the past few days. I'm glad to be home eventhough Éimhear still hasn't got used to the quietness in the house since there were some many kids in my mum's house! Hopefully she get used to it before daddy returns to work!!

Recalled the day at the KLIA airport, you're not gonna believe what happened to us! Well, we arrived at the aiport at about 4pm and our flight wasn't due to take off until 11:55pm! Luckily we got to check in there and then. There we were at one of the check in area, which was the MAS airline. The staff was busying checking our tickets and passports while mum and I were lifting the baggages on to the bell! We didn't pay any attentions to the weight scale at all. The staff, who is a Malay national was saying to me "your baggages is 7kg over! What do you want to do?" (in Mandarin, what a shock!) We kinda barging with him and asked him not to charge us since we have 130kg between the 5 of us and we have 3 kids to look after....!! I think he fecking made a quick one on us "If I let you away with it, you have to get me a 012's top up card, which is RM 100!" Mum and I were like to each other "What the hell, is he trying to bribe" I looked at the weight scale and noticed that there were only 122.35kg but they had one of the over sized baggage on the other bell, which was about 33kg. So if we add them up, it's about 155kg. Why did he said we were 7kg over weighted? Shouldn't it be 22kg over weighted? That confused me...!! After spent about 15mins on barging he did let us go without charging us but he was in a mood or wasn't happy about it. We had to drop the over sized baggage to the other side. On the way back I had a look at my tickets and boarding passes, reliazed he didn't give us any of the boarding passes from Amsterdam to Dublin. I had to go up to him "Sorry, you didn't give me ours boarding passes from Amsterdam to Dublin!" He replies "The system won't let me to it!" So I said "They normally let us check in eventhough we have to transit from other destination!" There he was again mentioning the fecking call card. At this point I have to get it otherwise we won't make it on time to the flight at Amsterdam airport! I spent 15mins looking for the bloody phone shop, got it in the book shop in the end. He fecking call me over from a distant and saying "Oh, the system let me do the check in for the transit flight!" "Here you go, 5 boarding passes from AMS - DUB!" "Can I have those boarding passes from KUL - AMS back for a sec?" He gave me a signal to ask me to put the call card in the baording passes! I felt awkward in that situation and thought why did he picked on me? I should have took his name down....!!
