Happy Holiday everyone! We landed in New Zealand at Christmas Eve in Queenstown! ohhhh so so so so soooo beautiful! I've got a new lappy to work on my blog with so bare with me. this is going to take longer than expected. i should've took my other lappy.
Christmas day was amazing!!!!!!!! Being with family on Christmas day after missing Christmas with them for 3 years is definitely PRICELESS! sigh.... love love love it here! yes... i have got more to blog about. Until then, much love to you from my family and i xoxo
had their re-opening for their bigger and better store! 'twas last week and i wish i brought more money with me and bought the whole entire store. hehe... oh i so love their entire collection. mmm yes, one of that, and 2 of that, and 10 of those kinds, and 3 more of those ones... list goes on and on and on... check out... LoveMae store! xo
sometimes we all wonder what's so good about the city that we live in... well, i do... especially when the weather has not been so kind for the past week or two.
but i think i might have to change my mind when i looked at the prettiness of my own city: The Gold Coast. this was taken during a family photoshoot at the beach. pure bliss.
ps. 9 days til Christmas!!!!!!!
festive month... jingle bells, christmas trees, eggnog, pretty lights, chocolate chip cookies, most importantly... none other than FAMILY TIME! ... as for us, we're off to New Zealand on Christmas eve. so can NOT wait!
Thought i'd share some christmas lovin' in the beginning of the month... considering the weather is SOOOOO HOT and it's not agreeing with my pregnant body. sticky sweat while editing? gahhhh....
but... Happy Summer everyone! beach here i come again today! xo
ps. Who's cute little feet are these? Can't wait to share with you some of the photos from this session soon soon soon!!!
if you know my Tavé, every time she talks to someone or even someone she just met (and somehow chose to be comfortable around that person)... these past 4 days she's been saying "i'm a big girl. I'm three now." and then sometimes later on during the conversation, she'll add "there's a baby inside my mommy's tummy"
sigh... she's so adorable. I am one super blessed woman.
this was actually taken during a family photoshoot i did today. she asked if she could go into the tent before we totally pulled it down, along with her Asa bear (a bear that was given to us during Asa's dedication so she called it Asa bear). so so cute. she was such a good assistant! and yes, i did pay her $1 tonight when she got home for her good work. she was thrilled and surprised that i paid her! awwwwww... little darling!
I get the giddy feeling when I was editing this session. I love love love sisterly love, cuddles and kisses!
Since we have no idea what we're having and miss Tavé is so sold that she is having a little sister (as she ALWAYS reminds me that she loves her little sister inside mommy's tummy whenever she cuddles me)
Jeremy and I honestly wouldn't mind having 2 girls... awwww... imagine the pretend play they will have together, not to mention... endless tea party. Jeremy just wanted a boy who he can teach rugby or cricket i think... and be rough with... yeah...
love love! sisterly love indeed. I might have another competition on guessing what the sex of the baby is AND need help with names! aaargghhh... it would be the hardest task in the world i think.... choosing the perfect name for your baby/ies!
my bulb of idea came on and thought i might help you with a couple of ideas... for Christmas. cos it is after all the happiest day of the year... haha
so, I'm selling photography session in 2011 for $100 which is 50% of normal price! nutter!!! yes yes.. ohhhh is that all? no no no that's not all!

oh how much i long to put that sign up... "i'm not here, gone fishing."
hah! yes, i am looking forward to December. am looking forward to Christmas... looking forward to spending time with my in laws... looking forward to have some r & r... and definitely for some inspiration time alone.. maybe fishing? or let alone just eating fresh fish caught from the lake EVERYDAY! mmm... festive season. i love i love.
ok. as the chinese say "ciayoooo" (i think it means fight fight fight), let me fight through few more days of November! yay. and a BIG yay for my husband moustachio to go away forever!!!! til next year. grrr
ok. maybe we went a little overboard. but it's just my wacky idea and passing the baton of encouragement and do it nice and big by Jeremy just totally made Tavé's morning a lovely one!
she woke up to her room filled with hanging balloon from the ceiling and floor filled with balloons! who did them? of course mommy and daddy... (around about 11.30pm still blowing CO2 into the balloons ... huffing and puffing and playing with strings and selotape) haha! so so cool!
thought i'd share with you her excitement from this morning... and one of her cute little present from us! xoxo
Happy birthday, darlin! you're the best gift that God's ever given mommy and daddy! and yay happy celebration for us for 3 years hahaha.

at the same time, I'm also organising Tavé's 3rd birthday. what party did she request? ballerina!!!! and seems like she's been organising it for months! oh my gosh. it's gotta be the party of the century i think!
For you kiwis out there, I am excitingly heading towards your way for Christmas and New Year! so I'm opening session times in Queenstown, Cromwell, Wanaka and Christchurch. If you're interested, please email me and yay for some New Zealand fun!
is on 19th November 2010. be apart of it. do something.
am supporting the local cafe by simply purchasing a hot chocolate (or a coffee if you're prefer cos i don't drink coffee) and all the their hot beverage sales goes to an orphanage in Bali.
bless their beautiful hearts and souls....
if you're in the Gold Coast, go down to Alfred st, Mermaid Beach and there's this super cute funky cafe Vintage Espresso on the day and maybe purchase 2 or 3 or 4 coffees.... and don't blame me if you're started to act like a chihuahua for too much caffeine hehehehe.... it's all for the cause! xo
We love it when families are around, especially when the grandies are in town! Full house, lots of laughs and running around (not done by me or Jeremy)... yay!
Special times! xoxo
